"O, ver?" Domino exclaims with a tone that drips mocking sarcasm, a smirk tugging at her lips. Hilda had had to Google that one before logging in, honestly. All for the sake of making this lame joke. What else do you expect? She knows coding languages, not French! (Well, she does know a little German, but that's not the point, okay?!) Much as the Pidgey may insult Domino, she doesn't really understand them at all, so honestly, she just finds them to be fucking hilarious — especially with the way they wave their baguettes. Balerion, though? Balerion takes their insults (which he also can't understand) very seriously. GROWLING back at them and probably going on about how he's so great and amazing and they should fear him. Emphasis on probably. Domino hasn't enabled poké-speech for a while now, so she just has a great time guessing what her narcissistic Charmander is saying. Balerion uses GROWL (sound-based)

He'd done it! He'd gotten one worm. He couldn't wait to show manish because... It was something he'd managed to not fuck up really. And that was something to be proud of. Plus he was kind of liking the bug Pokemon being around. They were small and kind of cute? And bugs went great in gardens as far as he knew. Probably. Something to do with pollination. But that wasn't what he needed to be thinking about right now. He... needed to speak french? There was absolutely no way he could feasibly do that. He'd barely paid any attention in any sort of language class. But he might be able to fake it till he made it. "Bonjour connard." He knew a swear and how to say hello. That was fine, probably. He wasn't really that big into caring.
But now he had a tepig out on the field to try and get the ball moving. He was about to give a command when he remembered that he couldn't speak french. And he had no idea how to say Ember in french either. Fuck. Uh. Shit. Where was Manish? He probably knew all kinds of french stuff. It seemed like it would be up his alley. This sucked. With a groan he tried to think. And while he tried to think Champignon just used Smog on the field without consulting his trainer. If he was going to sit and fuss over it then he would just take care of it all himself. Easy as pie.

Momo had always seen France as the land of Eiffel Towers, Louvre Museums, streetside cafes, and quote-on-quote "gorgeous" food. She didn't see what Pidgey, worms, and giant trees had to do with it.
"What? They have bread," she said in Japanese so as not to offend the avian Pokemon, pointing at one of the birds as it flew by, intent on snatching up a scooting Scatterbug. "Look, Masamune-kun."
Masamune the Igglybuff puffed up his cheeks, rising a few feet into the air to get a better look. <It appears so,> he said severely. They both watched with stoic expressions as the Pidgey tried and failed to catch a worm while holding a full baguette, its beret falling over its eyes. It was honestly kind of a mess.
"It doesn't feel honorable," Momo admitted after a moment, dropping out of her defensive stance. The worms, the Pidgey- no one here seemed even mildly threatening. Seldom was it that Momo backed down from a challenge, but this one didn't feel worthy of her. It felt more like a referee should be stopping the match to let everyone get set up again for a second try. "Can you do something?"
<I will take care of it,> Masamune rumbled, inhaling deeply. The balloon Pokemon's chest expanded until it was tight as a drum, then low, rich tones rolled out. The baritone swelled to a crescendo. Shocked by the sudden vocalization, the Pidgey's head whipped around to stare incredulously at the tiny pink Pokemon with the enormous voice.
When the solo ended, the bird was evidently so discomfited it let its prey wiggle away entirely. Annoyed, cawing obscenities, the French Pidgey lifted off and flew away.
Glancing at him out of the corner of her eye, Momo gave Masamune a silent nod of approval.

He had so many bugs and so little time to get more. He kind of liked the tower of worms. It was a little bit on the fun side. Except for the french birds. He could tell that they were watching him. Waiting for him to fuck up. Waiting for him to speak english. Waiting for him to be attackable. But what he wanted to do was just get a bunch of bugs and be fine with them all hanging out. He could get the catcher class unlocked really quickly at this rate. And in his defense he already had enough bug Pokemon. He was just focusing on getting more at the moment.
Pulling up his Pokemon he let out dewpider for the newest task in the tower. And then he pulled up his UI in order to look at something that would be able to give him some help. Infestation was just invasion in french. What the actual fuck. "Araqua invasion!" That seemed like it was correct? At least it seemed like the dewpider somewhat understood as tiny little black dots crawled out of it's body to cover one of the french pidgey's. Grasping at it's beret and the black swarm carried it back over to the dewpider, securing it on his head. That was pretty cool.

"Nope, nope, nope," Jade said, returning Toxel and cramming the baby deep into her backpack. Like, all the way down with the granola bar wrappers and old cutips. That deep. Who the hell thought a little purple frog in a diaper could barbecue a whole bird without batting an eye?
But though she didn't like to admit it, the truth was, the threat wasn't from Jade's Pokemon. Hell, they might've surprised her a little, but she'd calm down eventually. No, the real threat came from outside. Wild Pokemon. Enemy Pokemon. French Pokemon.
Hang on, French?
"What in the escargot is that?" the green-haired ninja demanded, equal parts disturbed and fascinated by the sight of the new wave of Pidgey. The nearest one heard her speaking English and did a double-take, then swooped around to dive-bomb her head. Jade swore, ducking. "Jesus Christ! Someone get out there and get rid of that thing!"
Roger couldn't fly and that Toxel was still on cooldown, so that left the little grasshopper man she'd gotten from some skeevy grasshopper-seller. You know, the grasshopper-sellers in the settlement? Hawking their wares? Hell, someone tell her she hadn't been scammed.
"Astonish!" she said, pulling up the Nymble's moves as quick as she could. The tiny Pokemon launched off the ground, pivoting in the air so quickly the Pidgey got whiplash. It flew away again, cawing angrily with a lot of oddly specific commentary on old-world red wines. Was this whole game just ripping off Jenny's subconscious bar knowledge? God damn it.

Being back in this hellscape of worms wasn't really her plan but it was also one of the few things she could do quickly and easily. Especially since she spoke French. It had been a requirement in school and she'd enjoyed it a lot. It impressed guys sometimes. "Mangez l'oiseau." The Seviper hissed as it got closer to one of the snobbish Pidgey's. Eyes trained on it as the reptile was quick to strike, jaws open and snapping onto the normal type as it disappeared down it's throat. Now simply a lump in the Seviper's belly that would soon be gone once digested.

"Lets go! Ares!" Orion would howl.
With a flash, the fully evolved Emboar would make an appearance, stomping both legs like a sumo wrestler as he cracked his neck. "Really boss? This sort of thing seems a little beneath us eh?"
"Protecting the weak is never beneath us pal." Orion quipped back. "You were little once and got your ass kicked a lot! Imagine how they feel!"
The boar snorted, embers flickering past it's snout. "You've got a point boss! I'm on it!" Slapping his rotund belly, the mon dropped into a deep stance, taking in a mighty breath as he did so. His gut would swell to massive proportions, almost comically so, before letting out a mighty and bestial roar.
"MY NAME IS ARES THE GOD OF WAR! IF YOU THINK YOU'RE MAN ENOUGH TO THROW DOWN, COME FUCKING GET SOME!"
Emboar Used Roar
Just like that, the offending Pidgey's took off like various bats out of hell, scattering like...startled birds and taking to the air.
"AND DON'T COME BACK!" The beast snarled. He would turn to his master who simply offered him a fist to bump. "That's how it's done bud." [Tower]|dIyMPQu1d501d50

Tower of Worms Floor 3: Do the Worm
The next 10 Pidgey have set up a dance party in the branches! There are disco balls made from reclaimed shiny things, funky hip-hop beats, and a serious lack of parental supervision. You're going to have to bust out your sickest dance moves if you want to make it to the next floor with your street-cred intact.
You have defeated 10 Pidgey and unlocked Scatterbug (C)! The next reward (Pineco) will be unlocked at 30 Pidgey.

Yggy was sitting on the big branch, about to take a big bite out of her sandwich, when the blinking prompt alerted her. <ALERT! DANCE PARTY ON TREE OF WORMS: FLOOR 3!>"Oh flip!" the blonde said, fumbling her sandwich as she dismissed the notification. She managed to catch half the bread and ingredients with the other hand and cram it back together, stuffing the rest of it in her mouth. "Hnng cu-hngg!"When she got to the ladder to the third floor, however, she saw nobody was going in. "What's the holdup?" she asked, craning her head to see around the people standing at the front. "Is the DJ running late or something?"There was music thumping from the branches above, so that didn't seem to be the case. Yggy realized it as soon as she read the next prompt. "Oh! I can do that!" she said, one hand shooting up like she was in class and she knew the answer. "We can just use Hurricane! Right, Junkrat?"Yggy's Pidgey was a sad, sorry scrap of feathers, nothing like the healthy and robust Pidgey plaguing the ancestral Tree of Worms. She did not look capable of using the massive Signature Move of her species line. But looks could be deceiving. <You know, this was totally in my horoscope today,> the little bird chattered, lifting off Yggy's shoulder and beginning to summon the gale-force winds required to blow everyone up to Floor 3. "No way!" Yggy exclaimed, holding onto her baseball cap with one hand as the winds intensified. Storm clouds began to roll in from all directions as the Hurricane picked up speed, and she had to raise her voice to be heard over the ambient howling. "What's your zodiac sign?"<I'm an Aries!>"Woah!" Yggy didn't remember hers. PIDGEY USED HURRICANE (110)!

Kasey felt out of place.
I mean, aside from the obvious.
They stood in the entryway of the Tree of Worms, looking up with something like awe. A massive tree, stretching endlessly up into the sky, scant paths and stairs winding around it. And... the pidgey. There were pidgey everywhere, flicking and swarming above, and on the lower levels... collapsed on the ground.
It was a little ominous.
They squinted up, trying to find the most movement- there, a group of people, already far up in the tree. "Ah-" Unthinking, Kasey moved to catch up, Phoenix firmly clamped onto their shoulder.
After far too long, they clambered up onto the next floor, squinting a bit at the flashing of lights. What was this?
Kasey had to duck, though, as a pidgey swarmed them, screeching. Right. Right. "Phoenix-" They felt their body start to lock up again, aware of how many people there were. People who were going to be disappointed at how much Kasey sucked.
But Phoenix chirped, hopping down and steadying himself, waiting. Trusting them.
Another breath. "Ember- now!" The torchic lunged shooting flame at the next unfortunate pidgey that tried to get Silvermoon's face.
Torchic used Ember!

Oh hell yeah, this was way up his speed. Orion would recall Ares, grooving to the beat as he did so. He could feel the music in his very core, and would let it carry him as he went about his work. The glisten of shiny discoballs lit the tree up like a...disco. As he worked his groove in, he would keep an eye out for an errant pidgey to punk. He didn't need pokemon to pose a threat, in fact, he was a bit of a living weapon already. One bird swoosed by and he would let out a quick jab, of which the bird would easily avoid.
Damnation.
Gyrating and grooving, the fighter would make his way down the dancefloor. Truly opening up his heart to the spirit of disco and grooving. A deep breath in and suddenly he realized what he must do. Another bird ambled past him, and with a clenched fist he would channel the power of Disco Fever.
Orion used Fire Punch
"BURN BABY BURN." Orion called out, nailing the bird in the beak and beating it down. "DISCO INFERNO!" He didn't know the rest of the words, but that didn't stop him from enjoying the classics while grooving. One bird down, some absurd amount more to go.

Genesis was... not exactly the dance party type. But they tried to take it in stride. After all, they were breaking up the party anyway, right? Taking down Pokemon and all that, not joining in the fun? So maybe they were in the right place after all...
Not that it really mattered, of course, mechanically speaking. All that really mattered was that they had Pokemon that fit the current prompt, and that they did, thanks to a relatively new acquisition.
"Merdeka?"
There was something beautiful about the Duraludon turning to face them. Duraludon was a bit of an odd species, truth be told, but Genesis rather liked it that way. A living skyscraper dragon? What was there not to like?
"Give 'em hell."
The Duraludon unleashed a Metal Claw on the Pokemon around her, and Genesis' mouth curled up slightly in what might charitably have been called a smile.

"Yoo-hoo~""Did you forget about me?"Nobody had forgotten about Morgana so much as she hadn't bothered to arrive yet. She was always late for everything because she was always working on how to make the best, biggest, most irritating entrance. This time she might have been outmatched, however. A Forretress hung in the upper branches of the Tree of Worms, radiating lights in all directions like a living disco ball. Bergamot grooved unsteadily onto the dance floor, holding onto her male Salandit's stumpy hands and dancing with it the way some people in real life tried to dance with their cats. Salandit's head flopped around and it let out a hissing <Screeeee> sound. "What fun we're having," said Morgana, swinging Salandit around in a circle. Some dancing Pidgey hurriedly fluttered out of the way to avoid getting smacked. #25 [Tower]iVKkU_bI1d50 1d50

A world event announcement flashed before her line of vision, drawling the woman away from her exploring to see what it was all about. She grimaced, worms weren’t really her type. Honestly, bugs in general aren’t her thing. Yet, the call for action was made and Rhaenyra would be a fool to ignore it. What she didn’t expected however, was pidgey dance party.
Pale golden orb blinked, takin back for a moment as the beaches shook with the weight of the dancing birds. A brow rose, observing these surprisingly crafty avian’s shake their tall feathers in their rhythmic pattern of their song. How strange.
Reaching into her jacket and plucking one of her few spheres, the silvery grey haired woman released her pokemon. A flash of light maderized the large eared starter known as fennekin. The fire fox blinked, gaze lifted to the pidgeys as they danced. “Let’s take care of them,” Rhaenyra mumbled, expression flat and emotionless, “Use ember!” “Right!” Izumi glared darkly at the birds, taking in a deep breath. The thick taste of sulfur licked her throat. And seconds later, her muzzle parted to sent out multiple balls of fire towards the mocking avians in the trees. NEXT PROMPT: [Tower]ymdvGjrQ1-50 1-50

Untz untz untz. Bassy beats, bouncing in her skull, vibrating in her veins. Parties are hardly Cleo's forte.
Especially ones that are literally on fire. Several of the birds, after eating a fireball to the face, had taken to the airs to flap their little bodies out of ignition. You'd think blazing panic would quell their need to groove, but rhythm lives in the soul, and not even being on fire can stop them from matching each beat with a beat of their wings.
Cleo studies the latest prompt. A special move? Easy peasy. Much easier than this awkward attempt at dancing she's still trying to maintain. She continues her little steps side-to-side, scanning the array of birds. That one! She points.
"Time to rain on their parade, Kipza!" She grins, proud of her ultra witty one-liner.
<I don't know that move.>
Alas, the only parade Kipza knows how to rain on is hers. Fine. "… Water Gun 'em."
A thick stream of water shoots out from her Mudkip's mouth, hosing down one of the birds. Thoroughly soaked and singed, the bird decides that, perhaps, it's finally time to retire from the party. Perhaps another time, when there weren't all these terrible trainers ruining the vibes. #27 [Tower]Co03kGLt1d50 1d50
