Yes! And usually, they use these spells against rogue or sometimes even giant Pokemon that attack the city or something in order to defend the people and send them back to their own homes instead, while wearing colorful outfits and uniforms as they do so!

[... Or against different creatures for those worlds that don't have Pokemon in them for their magical girl shows.]

[gottacatch]

[ Just going to take a sip from his drink here. ]

Hmmm... I don't remember anything like that. I just remember a show that was set in the past where a group banded together to go after the big evil, and they all used the magic they learned on their journey!

[ Speaking of shows, this kind of reminds him of... ]

[gottacatch]

[ WAIT.

FORGET THAT, WE'RE SLAMMING OUR HANDS ON THE TABLE-- ]

CILAN! DID I TELL YOU ABOUT THE SPACE WOMAN WHO HAS SPACE ROBOTS?

[cilantro]

... No?

[What are you talking about, Red.]

[gottacatch]

A woman! She's from space and has a space fleet that are robots that transform!

She's a princess too! Princess Allura!

[ Cilan!! Space mechas!! ]

[cilantro]

Really? That's amazing! I'm surprised that I haven't had a chance to meet someone with such an intriguing taste to them yet...

[gottacatch]

I'll introduce you sometime! She comes along on the trips I go on, you should come along too next time. The way she described them, mm... I remember she called them lions? You've seen lions, right?

[cilantro]

Yes, I have. They're animals with a mane of fur around their faces, if I recall correctly. Similar to Pokemon like Pyroar in the Kalos region.

[gottacatch]

Pyroar... oh yeah, you were in Kalos when you went home. Can you show me how that pokémon looks?

[ Totally off-topic from magical boys and girls, but what you gonna do. ]

[cilantro]

Of course.

[Here you go Red, check out this fire type Pokemon]

[gottacatch]

[ Give him a moment to see that memory, and then he'll laugh, a smile on his face. ]

Their manes are so huge! They're kind of similar to lions-- I was thinking about arcanines before. They both have all that fur around their heads. [ Which he gestures at his own neck as he says. ]

I don't think she showed me what her lions look like... I'll ask next time I see her, and show you! [ Yes, a good plan. ] But for now, do you wanna order something? I'll buy you one of these! [ Lifting up his cup. ] They're good! You don't have to drink spicy as well as eat it, right?

[cilantro]

I don't think so? Otherwise I would be very sick right now if I wasn't allowed something cold or toned down to drink for some of the spices in these dishes.

[It's mostly food that is the concern here for the challenge. They wouldn't want someone to die otherwise, after all.

But then he looks again at the cup that Red's holding.]

What is that you're drinking anyway?

[gottacatch]

[ Red just laughs at that, not having been serious about the question, but he'll take it. You're cute, Cilan. ]

This? It was a drink I found out about during Helisium. It's a fruit drink with some kind of alcohol? So they say, but it doesn't taste like alcohol at all! You can't even tell it's in there!

[ That last part comes out quick--yes yes he said alcohol but it's fine!! ]

[cilantro]

Wait, really?

[UM]

Are you feeling alright, Red?

[gottacatch]

[ ??? ]

Yeah? I feel as fine as anything! [ Why, he'll even stand up! ] See? No wobbling! You stay there, I'll buy you one too!

[cilantro]

Oh no, that's okay, you don't need to buy us one!

[Please sit back down, Red.]

[gottacatch]

Are you sure? C'mon, have one with me!

[ come onnnn, come onnnn! ]

[cilantro]

[...]

Fine, I'll try one. You, on the other hand, might want to take it easy.

[It's bad enough you already drank one, you don't need to drink more??]

[gottacatch]

! I'm taking it easy! [ Cilan, he's insulted! ] What, you think I'm going to lose my head after one drink?

[ Give his young mouth more credit than that!! Red scoffs jokingly before walking off, giving Cilan a 'relax!' before he's too far.Just give him a minute or so, and then he'll be back with two tall glasses in hand, one plopped down next to Cilan (carefully), and the other joins Red as he sits down. ]

Be careful, [ he warns with a sly curve to his mouth. ] Don't get drunk off your first sip.

[ Heh. ]

[cilantro]

[At that, Cilan is going to roll his eyes before he takes a sip... hmm.]

Not bad... they certainly did add quite the amount of fruit flavoring to disguise the taste of alcohol...

[gottacatch]

Mmm... I wonder how many it would take to get really drunk? I've never been drunk before, you know.

[ He's eyeing his own drink as he says that. ]

[cilantro]

I would prefer that you don't take this as an opportunity to try to find out. It would be in bad taste if you became sick from drinking too many of these.

[gottacatch]

You don't always get sick! I'll stop before then! [ Obviously!! ] People go out drinking and having fun, so why don't we try it? We're not going anywhere.

[cilantro]

I... suppose that's true. [He still doesn't like this idea at all, but--] If you start feeling off at all, you need to tell me immediately, okay?

[gottacatch]

[ His smiles brighten, far more into this idea, and he lifts his drink. ]

You tell me too! But I think we'll be okay. It's just for fun -- something different.

You haven't done anything like this before, have you?
