Stardust Beach - Traveller
[A rather confused Trip might be found wandering the beach today! It seems he's drifted back in for the first time in a while (not counting his younger self who's been staying at the Professor's place)... well, at least he's already dressed for the beach, with a sun hat, (oversized, hiding nearly half his face) shades, capris, and a breezy (very orange) shirt! But, there's just one little problem...]
... have you seen my Frillish?
Pokemon Center - Takeover
[Nurse Emi was supposed to be off today, wasn't she? Yet, it seems she's come to work anyway! Quite the workaholic, isn't she? ... or is it her? She seems to be acting, well, strange...
She's lazily flung herself, ragdoll-like, as if she isn't quite sure what to do with her limbs, into a seat behind the desk and is rudely bossing around the Pokemon Nurses like a little despot! She didn't have to be here today, why is she being so mean?! Maybe she's not feeling well? It seems like nothing's good enough for her!
She isn't even really doing any work, she's mostly just... drinking jasmine tea. She's been drinking cup after cup of jasmine tea with no end in sight.]
Home - Trick
[Not at the beach or the Pokemon Center today? That's alright, a bored and mischievous Ghost type Pokemon could bring chaos and confusion to your home, too! Is that where you left that thing? Wait, who ate those treats you were saving? Are your Pokemon partners or other room mates mad at you and you have no idea why?]

[^^]
He felt nostalgic, but also a little out of place, as he often did here.
He'll just quietly keep looking, while Evie aids in her well-meaning, but probably fruitless search...
But wouldn't it be funny if one of the people Evie asks, really is an illusion by Frillish?]
Re: [^^]
[... sometimes, the most obvious solution...]
[LOL, awww!]
Yay! I found you! Your person will be so happy!
[Buuuut he's still a brat, ffff.]
In an instant, he vanished again!
Trip walked over.]
Who were you talking to?
[Oh dear, lol.]
Wait!
[She looks up at Trip.]
Frillish was here! But then he disappeared again!
[He just wants to play!!!]
[Trip didn't seem that surprised, honestly... he sighs.]
At least, we know he's here. Frillish! Please come back here, it's getting too hot!
[A beach ball will roll over and gently bump into Evie! No, it looks like a beach ball, but what Evie will feel is cool, bouncy, and jiggly, like jelly!]
[Very playful!]
Can Frillish turn into anything?
[He might go back if she amuses him!! But first...!]
Trip raised a brow and turned. She's watching that ball intently, could it be...?]
It's not really turning into things. He can't transform, that's basic... but he can cast illusions. Small ones, like making eyes appear, or make you see things that aren't there... basically, he can change how things look.
He can't change what they really are, that's why I said he'll still feel the same, even if he looks different. Or he can trap you in a nightmare with Night Shade, but that'll change everything around you—
[Ugh, Trip's giving his entire game plan away! Time to block all that out.
Annoyed, Frillish will wave his frilled tentacles and send... murky crimson rings that grow bigger as they travel outward, like ripples in water. He's hidden himself, but the crimson rings and Frillish's glowing red eyes will be visible to Evie. Watch out, if one of those rings hit you, you'll be caught in Night Shade!]
Re: [He might go back if she amuses him!! But first...!]
Are these illusions too?
[She looks to the eyes.]
no subject
Yes, well, the eyes glare back and the glow disappears. He frowns and makes himself visible again.
Trip raises his pokeball.]
Alright, Frillish, that's enough... oh, unless you want to battle Evie?
[A battle might actually be fun!
'Depends... are you up for one?!']
no subject
[Evie waves her tail. She doesn't battle much, but she's okay with it when it's play! Or if she needs to protect someone.]
no subject
[Trip stepped back, finding a free of beach-goers and their things and taking off his backpack to free his arms. Frillish is excited to have a battle, even a little one, what fun...!]
Frillish! Water Pulse!
[They'll start with the offensive and keep other moves secret! Frillish concentrated energy into a ball of churning, turning water... the attack seemed to have a delay, so Evie could possibly attack before he finished making it bigger and more powerful!]

Remember to battle, okay?
[Here comes the Swift! Trip swung an arm out as he ordered:]
Dodge it!
[Frillish flung Water Pulse Evie's way as he quickly swam away from the stars, which swallowed up several stars in their violently churning waves... before finally, the surface of it broke and the water crashed down. A stray star or two weren't caught in it and managed to clip one of Frillish's tentacles, sending him crashing down.]
Frillish!
[Ooh, that hurt... Frillish will prop himself up with an annoyed sound.]
Protect!
[He needed a moment to get back up, so... he spread two tentacles out, shielding himself with a barrier that rippled and shone like water.]

[Evie leaps away from most of Water Pulse. It gets her a bit and she rolls before stopping and getting up and shaking out the water like a dog might. Then she uses Baby Doll Eyes ... while trying not to get distracted by how pretty Protect looks!]
[Late, laaaate, sorry!]
Frillish blinked, not seeing the Baby Doll Eyes very well through the rippling shine of Protect, squinting a little at Evie, before trying to look away.
Oops, it might've still had some effect!]
Frillish, Hex!
[Protect disappears! Now, Frillish's eyes glow again and it raises its tentacles while concentrating dark energy above it, and a glowing, staring, red eye appears in the center of it.
It fires rings of energy again! Try and dodge, Evie!]
[That's okay!]
[^^]
[Frillish and Trip watched to see if Evie might get back up... but, if she doesn't, no more orders. Frillish started to smile rather smugly, proud of himself!
That's a good enough place to end it, this far from a Pokemon Center, right?]
Re: [^^]
[I feel like he'll be using Protect a lot, ffff]
He darts away, as if swimming, to avoid some stars before erecting a shining barrier again to deflect the others!]
Re: [I feel like he'll be using Protect a lot, ffff]
[1/2]
[Frillish could have avoided this easily by going high up in the air, but, the timing... the barrier fading before it fully disappeared, meant he was effectively trapped there, so Evie manages to hit him!
Frillish tumbles to the ground.
Exhausted from all the illusions earlier and the previous hit, and unable to avoid the taking the brunt of this attack as a sitting Ducklett, this was enough to take Frillish down. A very tired Frillish fainted!
Evie won!]
[2/2]
[What were the odds of that?!]
Good job, Evie! You're even stronger than I thought.
Take a rest, Frillish... you were very busy today, weren't you? [Frillish didn't give much of a reply, just some dazed little sound that wasn't intelligible, really, but he seemed happy enough for the fun challenge. Trip recalled him.]
