Psychic of the Icelands - Sabi

[Inspired by @monsoon-of-art's Pokerus AU]

Akari grunted, heaving herself up the latest set of steps (And a bit away from them) before collapsing on the ground in a heap, groaning. “‘Nybody got any Ethers?”

Rei followed her not long after, while the Professor brought up the rear - both of them in slightly better shape than the rookie Explorer. At least enough that they hadn't dropped dead. “I…I think I’ve got the stuff for one, hang on…” The Dewott looked over, confused as her companion pulled out a berry, some grass, and a mortar and pestle.

Confused, Akari looked on as the younger native crushed and combined the “ingredients” together before dumping them onto a sheet of paper and passing it to her. “Here, eat this and you should feel more energized.”

…nothing ventured, nothing gained. She picked up the paper and opened her mouth, tilting the sheet upwards to let the stuff just pour in.

Ok, that tasted…meh, but not baWOW! The Dewott jumped up, almost beaning Prof. Laventon in the head with how high she went. “HOLY CRAP! That stuff WORKS! Th-that’s gotta be like a Max Ether or something!” She couldn’t help but twitch and fidget, the energy just rushing through her as professor and aide shared a glance.

“...maybe we’ll split a portion…”

“Good idea, Professor.”

—---

All Ethered up and ready to go, the group advanced through the winding hall, the slight chill the Icelands had left with them slowly fading. “...Sabi…is a Magby, right?” Best to confirm, given what happened last time she met a Warden.

“Yes, she is.” A nod from Rei. “It’s somewhat surprising, given her powers, but I suppose her Magmortar was the closest to her.”

Stop and look behind her, eyes locked with the other mammal. “Wait. Powers?”

The Dartrix flapped over, smiling a bit - something other than combat made him happier, she supposed. “Ah, yes! Miss Sabi is quite the clairvoyant. She predicted my arrival in Hisui down to the second and has managed to save several people with her predictions! It's honestly quite amazing, and if I could I'd love to investigate her abilities. Why, I had no idea a human could-”

A loud screech cut off the discussion, Akari taking this as a sign that Sabi - or at least a Boss - was ahead. So she rushed forwards, her companions catching up with her relatively fast.

Soon, they came to a round snow pit, much like Lian’s “arena”, with what seemed to be a Magby in the middle. However, something seemed…off. The colors were funny, and there was this flickering flame in the middle of its forehead that resembled an eye. What the heck was th-

ACH SHE WAS AIRBORNE AGAIN! Akari tried her best to swim through the air, getting closer to the odd Magby she assumed was Warden Sabi. Seeing as said sorta-bird’s loud cry was apparently lifting everyone up in the air, it was a bit tricky to do so…

*THUD!!* Aaand now she’d fallen. Great. Well, given the Sneasals earlier (not to mention Lian), it would be a good idea to ask: “So are all Magby like this around here, or?”

“Goodness no!” The Professor gave a surprising reply. “This the first time I’ve seen any Magby like this, let alone Warden Sabi!”

“...so it’s not just a weird variant?!” The professor scoffed at the mention of the local versions of some ‘mon being “weird”, but Akari brushed it off. What was important was that this Magby was apparently Psychic, and a rather strong one too. This wasn’t going to be an easy fight-

Especially if she got picked up every darn time she got close! The Fire-(and probably Psychic-)Type whipped her head, sending the other female into the wall with a meaty *thunf*. “...I’m ok!” And she was - not only was she in better shape before the fight than with Lian, but the walls here were a good bit softer being packed snow.

Still hurt though.

As she tried to get her bearings straight, a silvery slash dashed through the air, striking the Magby dead on. Looks like the Professor could get some hits in…that’s a relief. And that Thunderbolt showed that Rei was pitching in as well. Not as well as she’d like, given that you had to let the enemy touch you to use Static, but given that Sabi was prone to lifting anyone within a certain distance of her and lobbing them into the wall? Probably a good tactic. Also, OW.

So change of plans. Akari knew she couldn’t keep charging in long enough the frenzied Warden occupied and let the others finish the job since those slams would add up. It might have been possible if the Warden had a small HP pool, but she wasn't in the mood to find out. So time for a different tactic… Like Ingo would say, “If you find yourself on a train that’s going the wrong way, disembark and find one that leads to your destination.”

—-

PAIN.

SO MUCH PAIN

SO MUCH ANGER

WHY DOES IT HURT

WHY WHY WHY

AAAH MAGBY HEAD HURT SO MUCH

WHY THEY NO LET HER THROW? THROW MAKE HEAD BETTER

BUT THEY JUST TRY AND HIT HER FROM AFAR

MOVE CLOSE

THEN CAN THROW THE BIRD AND RA-

*splllllllllllsh*

ARGH COLD WET STOP STOP STOP STOP

BLUE FURRY THING SPRAYING WATER AT HER

MUST STOP WATER SPRAY

WATER SPRAY HURT SO MUCH MORE

SO MUCH MORE THAN SILVER LINE OR YELLOW THING

NO COME BACK

MAGBY WANT THROW YOU BLUE THING

—-

Welp. That worked like a treat… Akari had Sabi’s attention on her, away from the other fighters (Especially the weak-to-Fire Laventon). The Dewott simply darted in-and-out of the bird-lizard’s range, sending a Water Pulse when seemed like the Warden was getting too close to Laventon and Rei

In and out, back and forth. Spritz the bad bird when it’s bad. Nice tactic is nic-

OW. OK, apparently Sabi was starting to get tired of her little dodging game and had… collapsed part of the wall on top of Akari. Wasn’t the Magby supposed to be too mad to try tactics like this? Or maybe it was all the fire attacks that’d come this way loosened it enough that it gave on its own.

Either way, she was stuck - and getting more stuck as the reddish-pink aura surrounding her pushed down, burying her deeper in the snow. A lot deeper, it was actually coming up to her mouth! An attempt to Water Pulse her way out was met with snow in the mouth, turning her attack into a Snow Pulse!

…which was really just a decent-sized puff of snow in front of her. Oh great.

There was one last mental shove before Akari felt her nose get buried in the snow, making it hard to breathe. Sabi moved toward her two teammates as the Dewott tried to think her way out of this. Alright…come on, come on, come o-

*BZZZAP*

“MAG!” *Thunk*

Wait, did Rei just Thunder that Warden so hard it knocked her out? Because it sure looks like it. Once her friends had freed her, Akari slowly approached the prone Magby, gently poking it. “...yep, she’s out. Nice job Rei!”

“Eheh, well, that last jolt was kinda me panicking…”

“Panic or not, that was a surprising amount of electricity you used, Rei. I dare say it’s the strongest you’ve used so far!”

The ‘chu’s eyes lit up at the Professor’s words.“Really?”

“Yes, really.” The avian smiled, Akari watching fondly as she tapped the Fire-type with her badge, sending Sabi outside in a pulse of light. “Alright… let’s get out of here. Grab on you two!” The Dartrix readily grabbed onto the Dewott, already ready to leave, while Rei took a bit longer. A good-natured chuckle escaped the Water-type before she tapped her badge twice, emptying the room in a column of light.

Walmart started pitting ynfg protags against each other and it was actually pretty interesting.

Matchups:

Flourette vs Sabitsuki (Flourette wins)

Itsuki vs Mariana (Itsuki wins, barely)

Totsutsuki vs Kubotsuki (...love wins?)

Muma vs Sometsuki (Muma wins, and also goes evil mode for some reason)

Tatsuki vs Soutaro (Soutarou wins, very quickly might I add)

Reshnha vs Me (Me wins)

Favorite parts:

Sabi trying to shoot Flou and her just going "nuh uh" and fucking blinding her

Itsuki just barely winning

Tots deciding to just leave mid match, love winning, also tots nearly fucking dying from one of the DUDES (origami effect saved her)

Sou just. Casually mixing distort and clot together. Also Tats being stubborn as hell

Whatever the fuck happened with Muma

Reshnha getting nearly TORN IN HALF and then proceeding to get back up like nothing happened (he used rambutan like. Three times during the fight and the ai described it every single time)

Honestly, seeing people nitpick this episode feels like they choose to do it for this episode because it was a Bakugou episode.

Seeing people complain about angles being wrong or the pacing feels off just sometimes rubs me the wrong way because I know that animating still images gotta take a lot of work. Given the deadlines, budget and the steps to take to just make a character's mouth move gotta be a lot of energy. Have make sure the mouth matches the dialogue, add color and music. It's not always perfect, but jeez. It's not a big deal. Capturing a still scene out of a book and making it move can't be easy.

I, for one, enjoyed the episode. The pacing didn't feel off to me, loved the music, the animation sometimes got me in my feelings. As usual, I'm excited the episode.

It is still fair to compare an animation studio to what its shown itself to be capable of in the past, but to say this episode was worth 1 star just because it wasn't worth 5 stars in every aspect is a little extreme to me. 3- and 4-star ratings also exist. But honestly there was nothing about these chapters that in my opinion merited devoting the sakuga budget to. These chapters are about slower pacing and the impact of dramatic beats, not fights and action (although today I now understand some people read these chapters very differently from how I do).

I get the feeling this is a high-concept vs low-concept preference issue. Some people are extremely focused on the details, while some people focus more on the broader picture. If you're gonna nitpick the details, you're going to like the highest quality production stuff (and only the highest quality production stuff). It makes it hard to enjoy slightly flawed (wabi-sabi!) things, and you end up missing the forest for the trees. There's nothing wrong with being that way, but like I said--it makes it harder to enjoy all the other things when you're focused on the nitty gritty. I enjoy finely-tuned details when they happen, but I would miss a lot of other great stories and such if I was too picky about every detail of their final products. To me, it's about what effects these choices have on the story rather than if they're the effects I want or not.

I'm also aided by the fact that I have a more Shakespearean perception of adaptations such as anime. No adaptation will ever be the same as the source material, and so I can enjoy any adaptation despite its flaws because it's just someone else sharing their interpretation while I know that my source material will always be there for me.

Hinding hindi na talaga ako sasama kapag mag unli unli, eguls na eguls e. Nag-aya mag unli wings mga kapatid ko, dun din sa kinakainan namin ng unlisamgyup. Ilan araw na sila umaawit nun e kaya ayon nagpabudol naman ako. Pagdating namin dun few mins bago mag-alas dose impunto nang tanghali, hindi pa raw available yun unli wings. Tas nag uusap na ang mga budol kung saan pa may unliwings sa area. Lumapit sa amin yun nag-assist, may chicken daw pero hindi wings, different parts daw. Prayd chimken na prayd chimken mga kapatid ko kaya nag-g na sila.

Naiintindihan ko naman yung rules nila na 2 flavored chicken and 2 dips lang per serving kasi mahigpit sila sa left overs. Ang gusto kasi sana ng kapatid ko, tikman na lahat ng flavors ng chicken (4 lang naman yun e tas 1 na walang flavor) para mamimili nalang kami kung ano yun uulitin naming flavors. 15mins bago dumating yung first serving. Apat kami tapos 2 plates lang yung dinala, 3pcs per flavor lang yung binigay nila. Kaya ayon, literal na share share kami. Masarap naman yung flavor at yung manok. Tama lang yun cut ng manok, hindi sobrang liit, hindi sobrang laki, tas juicy talaga. Masarap kahit walang dip. Nagsabi na agad kami for next serving. So dahil 6pcs lang yun vs 4 hungry humans, mejo matagal kaming idle lol kasi 15mins bago dumating yun second batch. Nag order na din tuloy kami ng gimbap at japchae. Hindi ko recommended lol. Pero mabait naman kasi sila, nung sinabi namin na sobrang alat nung japchae, rinemedyohan nila. Hindi namin bet yung flavors ng second serving. Yung pang 3rd and last, hindi na maganda yung quality ng chicken. Parang frozen fried chicken sya na inulit prituhin. Muntik na kami mag bayad ng left overs kasi ayaw na namin kainin yung iba. Tumulong ako, ako kumain nung isa tas sabi ng kapatid ko daldalin ko lang daw gf nya para kumakain pa nang kumain, edi ayun, nakakwento kung paano kami nagkakilala ng gf ko, paano naging kami at kung gaano na kami katagal.

Umuwi kaming never again magpabudol sa mga unli unli na yan hahaha
