You are taking a walk along the beach to a nearby town (You hid your mobile suit in a nearby forest) when you come across a group of bikers kicking around.... a small blue penguin. "Haha! Take that you vomit-inducingly cute freak of nature!" One thug says. "PIPLUP!!!" The poor creature cries in between each steel-toed boot to the body. (OOC: Not that this really matters, but since you are just walking to town, and have no real plans to swim or lounge, you are still wearing your kimono... You can however be pumpless if you wish )

(OOC: Sure... works with me. Barefooted on a beach is almost a must, lol) Lacus Zeref ClyneLacus Zeref Clyne had been walking about on the beach for several good minutes now, enjoying the sun on her skin, the hot sand between her toes and the fresh air of the ocean. It helped her relax her mind, and calm the troubles of both of her halves. Hers for being far away from her friends and her time, and his, for being now one with her, despite the peace it had seemingly brought him. Even though it had been a while since they had been fused together, she didn't feel like there was two people in one body. Instead, it was as though she had always been like this, but... with two different sets of memories that merged into one at one point. It was strange, but she guessed it could have been worse. She had few goals in the immediate future, aside from coming to terms to her new state of being, trying to avoid attracting attention to herself as the 'new' Black Wizard, and learning how to use those strange new powers she had recently learned, seemingly out of nowhere. Even Zeref himself had never experienced such a thing; as far as he had known, while different people could have different potentials and skill at learning new things, one did not usually gain new knowledge or power out of thin air, except when using magic to do so. Something she hadn't. While thinking about this, she noticed something going on a bit further... a group of men, of bikers, cruelly hurting a small creature! A blue penguin... A piplup. A Pokémon being attacked by men! Lacus almost felt her blood boil. She used to be a peaceful woman, but even back then, she never tolerated gratuitous violence, and wasn't afraid to fight for her beliefs and for the helpless. Nowadays, since she became one with Zeref, she had also inherited the ancient mage's little patience for such a disregard for peace, and his dislike of abusing one's power for no good reason. Still... she tried to remain calm and try settling this peacefully... if at all possible. She ran towards the men, frowning and slowing down upon getting closer: -...Stop this at once! What kind of men are you, to assault such a small, peaceful creature? ...And there's several of you, on top of it all! Do you have no shame? ...No honor?!----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6 stones into Statecraft (Noble, Resolute, Diplomacy) plus 3 from Attractive, in an attempt to appeal to the men's values and try to make them feel bad for their action... (Although I doubt they would have done it if they could feel bad for it, lol) 6 stones into Acrobatics, all into defense, just in case they refuse to answer with words rather than fists.

The bikers say nothing just drawing weapons... a tire iron, an 8-foot length of chain, a knife, and a sawed off shotgun.
"Why don't you just keep your mouth shut woman, and know your place. I've knocked a bitch's teeth out for saying less to me." The one with the shotgun says as he throws the Piplup by your feet.
"Luuup." It whimpers.

Lacus Zeref Clyne
Lacus kneels down to help the Piplup first, pressing her hand gently on the Pokémon's body as she used her powers to remove the pain and damage endured by its body. As she lets her magic undo the evil brought upon by the bikers, she stands back up, glaring at the man with the shotgun... allowing him to notice her eyes were now red, with a black circle around the iris. She spoke anew, but her voice was different. Darker, colder, and... suddenly far more threatening.
-...Is that so? Well, if that's the case... then you do not deserve any mercy. Neither you, nor your little friends.
She raised a hand, as a weak (for now, at least) black aura became visible on her body, before stating:
-...Firaga.
Suddenly, a large torrent of flames erupted from her fingertips, seemingly fired at the men to incinerate them! However, at the last second, the flames all entered the various weapons in their hands, superheating them if not melting them outright! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start H: 7/7 P.L: 4/4 E: 35/35 P.L: 12/12
2 stone to gain two additional actions;
1 stone into Deny Death plus 5 from L.W, all into healing 2w of Health for Piplup;
14 stones into Black Magic (Fira), plus 5 from Legendary Wizard; into four 5/5/5/4 stones attacks VS each thugs' weapons, to superheat them and either destroy them outright, or force them to drop the weapons.
6 stones into Acrobatics, all into defense.
Also, action for prep time of a Ki Blast next panel.
End E: 18/35 P.L: 6/12 Defense: 18 (6 Ref.Dodge, 5 Toughness [No AP, No 2x damage], 1 Power Level, 6 actions) Mental Defense: 14 (7 Intelligence, 7 Mental Defense) Ki Defense +4 Magical Defense +10

You shoot fire into each weapon. Forcing the shotgun to go off in the man's hands, and the others to drop their weapons. "Gah! It's some f***in magic user!" The bikers yell retreating.
"Piplup!" The penguin cheers hugging your leg in appreciation.

Lacus Zeref Clyne
-How observant of you, Lacus pointed out upon hearing the men, as she took the Piplup in her arms. Are you alright, little one?, she asked, her voice back to normal, as were her eyes.
She sighed, looking towards the way those ruffians had escaped to. Part of her wanted to give chase, teach them some manners, but on the other hand... such beastly men would probably not listen... and what then? Kill them? She decided not to follow them.

"Piplup! Pip-Piplup!" It cheered nuzzling your face and chest.

Lacus Zeref Clyne
-Aren't you a cheerful one...?, Lacus said, playfully pretending to be pushing the little penguin away as it nuzzled her. You should head back home... to your family perhaps? I'm saying this for your own good, little one, I'm not necessarily the kind of person you should be hanging around with. While I'd enjoy the company... My powers are very dangerous and scary for those around me, and there might be people coming after me in the future. Accompanying me is putting yourself in danger... I don't want you to get hurt again.
She wasn't exactly used to Pokémons, but this little guy was very expressive. She just hoped she understood it correctly. As far as she knew, Pokémon understood humans, however, so she decided to allow his actions to speak for him. Putting him back on the floor, she asked:
-Well... what do you decide? ...I'll respect your decision either way.

"Lup..." He seems to stop to consider your words. Only for him to waddle over, and playfully peck the top of your foot. "Piplup!"

Lacus Zeref Clyne
Lacus' smile betrayed her happiness despite her suggestion that Piplup should not come with her. Seemed like she really could use the company after all.
-...Hahah, okay, fine. If you insist. Come with me then. Do remember however, if I tell you to run, you do so immediately. And if you realize that plants and animals are dying around me, you do not come close even if I'm badly wounded, alright? ...Promise me.
She took the piplup in her arms, resuming her walk towards the village with a sigh if relief. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OOC: Does it count as her 'owning' a Pokémon despite Piplup not being in a Pokéball? As in, does she gets the Pokémon Trainer AN 1 action?

"Piplup!" It nods as you finally make the walk into down.
(Nah... Piplup is more a sidekick/pet than a Pokémon.)

-Perfect, Lacus said, playfully pressing her head against the penguin's small belly as she held it in her arms, walking forward to the village.

You finally get off the beach, and into town no problem.

Lacus Zeref Clyne
Lacus looked around, searching for a tavern/bar/cafe, a place likely to appeal to visitors and travelers. She headed there in the hope of hearing stories about local problems or troubles she could possibly help with, and possibly sign a song or two for such was her new lot in life: atone for Zeref's crimes, and bring comfort and warmth to people's hearts.

You find a nearby café in front of the town where a young girl in a red, and white sleaved dress, and black flats gets punted out the front door... a young lass not older than 18, with short red hair, and blue eyes, she's in total tears.
"A Bard? Maybe you should call yourself the Tard! Because that's what your music sounds like!" The bouncer sneers going back in.
The poor girl just stands up holding a broken lute, tears stream down her face as she runs away, tripping and losing one of her shoes along the way.
