quote BloodWolf

Let's see if I get this. Primals have a blue, red and white/#ffd000 (Not sure. Or are those Hallows?) coloration and stronger than normal Pokemon right?

OOC: Blue and Red are visible colors, white making an appearance. Primals seem to have a more vengeful soul and more twisted-minded than any ordinary Pokémon. This enables them to do some impossible things that it normally could, but fortunately, if they do too much their weakened a lot faster unless it's a really strong body that the primal soul is using (which is usually supposed to be the case ). Speaking in-game, just remember how the hell Primal Dialga does 999 damage with Roar of Time. (I could swear that was the gayest thing -- I can't even reach 3000 with 5 Doubleslaps for crying out loud.)

I completely forgot to look at what was happening in the RtS Dojo, lol. Let's see... (yes, I'm a great narrator that way. Wahahaha!)

"I don't know why I'm never sick of beating the both of you up." Hien provoked Akvmovat and Akiha a bit.

"It's alright -- at least we survive more than 30 minutes now!" the Staraptor tried to stay cocky.

"Well I haven't been doing smart moves myself lately..." was what the Heracross said.

"Well, I think we all need some time to actually take a break..."

"...AND YOU ONLY THOUGHT OF THAT NOW?!" Akiha complained.

"...Master Hien, he never sleeps. He justs rubs his falchions on the nearest sharp edge and keeps going." was all Akvmovat had to say.

"...ack? That's at the least bit, actually true! Well... I think it's about time we actually go outside. I want us to explore again."

"...! That's a probably worthwhile waste of time!" Akiha said.

"...it's not a waste of time if it's worthwhile. In any case, I'm in for it. But where are we actually going?" Akvmovat asked.

"...I'll have to look first. Please wait for me here."

Hien proceeds to his den, and opens up a peculiar map. A Mystic Map.

"...(I wouldn't mind opening up their eyes to these wonders, I guess...)"

Hien came out after a while.

"Ah, the Cave of Kawrea. Anyone know about it?"

"...ah yes I do! It's said to be under the faraway volcano on the south sector of Terra, the Kawrea Volcano. Supposedly contained there are artifacts that depict a lot about the hidden world above the surface...

...wait a minute... but Hien, that's a legendary location..." the Heracross wonders.

"Trust me, it exists. Now let's get moving as I know how to get there quickly."

Akiha and Akvmovat were about to step out the door when it slammed at them.

"It's not that way..."

Hien felt the ground for something, then later he dug up very soft ground, and opened up a pathway.

"I've always kept pathways to all 4 major sectors of Terra. We're completely safe in our underground passages."

So in they crawl in. But Akiha had a hard time -- she was one big Staraptor...

They eventually got to the surface. And they were standing just a few kilometers away from the cave.

"Yup, I see it here. There's a cave, 'no?"

"But won't we get burned there? I mean, it's a volcano for crying out loud!" Akiha complained.

"It's a lot more cold than you think. Let's just go in..."

As they went in, they appear to have clashed with another set of Pokémon they never expected to be with.

"... AAAAAAAAH!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"...! WAAAAAH!"

"...Keh!"

"What what what what what?!?!?!"

"..."

"...come on, don't tell me you're afraid of bugs, this time!"

"...! O-of course I'm not! I was just wondering what the hell appeared behind us, and I thought for sure I felt something so heavy that it rumbled the ground!"

"...maybe that was just the freaking volcano, Sparchu. Shut up."

"This was never a nice meeting now, was it? Anyway...

...what are you doing here, Hien? You finally showed yourself, too..."

"I felt like it was best if we finally got out of the quarters eventually. I think all the things I teach need some application, especially on my favorite pasttime -- exploring.

What about you?"

"Heh, for starters I just wanted to... 'orient' a very new member of our team somewhat. The reason why I chose this for firsts is because she's an extraordinary one, and I think we can handle something as huge as the Cave of Kawrea.

Oh yes, we can't forget introductions."

I'm seriously no good at introductions. Bare with me. Let's just say they did

OOC: ...excuse me while I break free from this 20 minute writer's block. Oh well.

EDIT: More like 20 hours omg. I lack 3 hours of sleep, I apologize.

Also, #ffd000 looks too orange now IMO. I need it more yellow

OOC: Hey, Zek, would you mind if I had Fox get into a fight with Dialga in the near future? If so, I can provide an action filler for my story but if nots, that's cool.

BIC:

"It probobly means that Plusle is hiding in an electrical environment. Plusle is an electric type, so its element is electric, and its hiding in a place of its element. Amp plains would be my best guess." Kaze said, looking deep into his mind, searching for more knowledge, but however, he was at a loss, and Fox was sure of this once Kaze opened his eyes, breaking the meditation.

"Zap, I wish you to go with Zeni to Amp plains and settle this yourself. and Zeni, I know how you might feel about going to an electric area, but remember what I told you in the first few days of meeting you, and even in our battle, type advantages and disadvantages are not the deciding factor in battles, strategy and will are. Now, make haste, before that Plusle kills themselves."

Zap and Zeni gave a nod, and ran out of the HQ, and fox gave a laugh at how small their bodies were, although he had always known that they were small pokemon, just the sight of the two small pokemon running off in haste seemed funny. Fox then turned to Kaze, and opened his mouth to speak, but Kaze was a step ahead of him and teleported them to the slums of the Neo Treasure Town, which seemed to be a little nicer than the last time, but still very slummish.

"Once I am done here, i will come back to the base, but I need to be alone for this. So, Kaze, I ask you to go find that scizor from many days ago, and ask him to join our team, as well as offer my apology for the last time we met. If he does not accept when you ask him, then let it go, but if he says he will think about it, let him think, and just go back and defend the base."

"Yes, leader." Kaze said, dissapearing in the flash of a light, leaving Fox alone in the slums, looking back and forth trying to find that battle worn Arcanine that seemed to have all the answers, but to Fox's avail, he could never find the Arcanine, for Arcanine always found him...which luckily happened.

"Good timing, Fox. I just had an encounter with Fidchell, the prophet of Morganna."

"Is Fidchell on Corbenik's side?"

"Don't worry about that, for you need to hear what I was told first. Fidchell told me that the problem with the children of Morganna is no longer important. Finding them and preventing their turn over to Corbenik's side is not necessary."

"B-But...But why?!"

"Fidchell mentioned something about a few of them not having been reborn yet. The most part of the Morganna problem is that they are not all around at the same time. However, at one point in time, as per prophecy proclaims, they will all be around at the same time, and morganna shall be revived to her origonal stature, and bring immidiate destruction to Terra. This could happen in hundreds or thousands of years, however, so there's no need to worry about that, since it will be out of your time."

"Arcanine...You should know me enough by now to know that time no longer holds any bounds on me...As long as Skeith is in me, any problem regarding him, whether in the distant future, or the distant past, relates to me, and causes me great suffering..."

"Everyone is suffering on the inside, Fox, do not let your own burden discourage you."

"...Fine. Anything else you were told?"

"Fidchell told me that there is Skeith, Corbenik, Gorre, Tarvos, Innis, and himself in the world right now. Because of this, Macha and Magus are not in the world right now. In the next period of rebirthing for the children, only one will be excluded from the world, and then the destruction will happen in the second rebirth. A shame, it is, but again, there is more important things right now to worry about. Oh, and one more thing fidchell told me. He said that..."

"'...that' what?"

"That the Umbreon currently controlled by Corbenik can be...can be saved."

Fox stared wildly at Arcanine, and felt his emotions sweep over him for the first time in a very long time. He was extremley happy to hear that the Umbreon could be saved, and possibly even become allies with Fox, but he knew that it would take a lot of effort to save such a foul creature. After recollection his emotions and thoughts, Fox questioned more about Fidchell.

"All else I can tell you is that Fidchell has been reborn in a Togetic's body, and that the Togetic willingly gave its body and will to Fidchell, so the togetic once known as Noutekku...no longer exists."

"Well, that reminds me, Arcanine, about how Corbenik said that the Umbreon he took over no longer existed either. What about him?"

"Ah, right, fidchell did say something about that, as I too questioned that. He said that when a pokemon is forcefully taken over, a small part of their conciousness remains to keep the body intact, because the spirit that took it over never had the pokemon's will to live 100% in the pokemons body. Noutekku gave his will to Fidchell, so now fidchell is 100% controlling of the Togetic body, while Corbenik is about 90% controlling. Now, I must be at leave. Fidchell shall visit you one day, and tell you things that you need to know on your own accord, not mine. good luck, Fox."

OOC: @DW1: You are awesome in a way that you actually asked that. I was thinking about 'flashback battles' later on when we're already being shrouded in evil, though I'm not sure what you'd do with a Dialga fight anyway so you have to PM me more details if that's the case, and I will try my best to see if we could incline it somehow to an allowable level. Because... well, some of you do know that I'm still also controlling at least 1 and at most 4 legendaries, right? :\

@Flippy: I'm sorry but save that for Trinity Limit 3, though I could imagine how hard it is to work with your characters right now...

@Zekira: WTH are you doing still typing OOCs? Post an RP for crying out loud.

...OK fine.

"Stop... stop... stop. Why am I even having an obsession of following around all of these so-called guardians anyway?"

"...don't forget your objective, Dokon."

"But Eiyux... This is getting annoying. Some of them seem a bit too harsh and hard. Especially that Skitty I encountered late last night!"

"...in all honesty, even my intelligence can't even outwit the power of that cat. Now the next thing annoying me is that you've been following this Ninetales to no avail. Maybe it's time you followed something else."

"But... but I definitely felt it! The power to burn away anything within reach! It's him! It's definitely him!"

"...I'll say this now -- if I can't do it, you can't. Same goes that if Agnome or Emrit can't, you definitely can't. Especially not Emrit, I don't think you can match her perfect skills of analyzation."

"I could just swoop in and grab a strand of fur too, will that be fine?"

"You're the one who's been analyzing him, so go answer it yourself!

For the meantime, I and Agnome are going to find Emrit and see how she's doing."

"Okay...

...

...what's the big idea anyway...? I can't wait for the world to change..."

--------- ---------

"Luxray... sleeping peacefully... but almost unconscious... as if he just got into a fight or something..."

"...there you are. What are you doing near this territory?"

"...! Agnome...? Well I was just... well, you know... very powerful emotions drove me to this place..."

"I could see why. I think I know what transpired here just last night. I'm also on the watch here too because of the 3 entities here... the 3 very powerful entities here. It just so happens that Luxray is one of them."

"Maybe you should look more into the Skitty instead -- I've sensed a very confused soul inside him... but huge power. It's going to be your specialty, isn't it?"

"...I've had enough of him. He doesn't seem to be beatable by us..."

"...! Agnome...? Are you losing your will to continue fighting?"

"With the will comes the will to think, Emrit. I'm pretty sure you know that, since your brain is over your heart."

"...I understand, then..."

"...you've been too quiet lately, Emrit, it's beginning to worry me."

"Oh, I've just been a bit... sad, lately. Nothing to worry about."

"...females. Tsk."

"...what was that?"

"Nothing... ...someone's coming. We better disappear..."

To be honest, I'm having a hard time masking identities with italics. Anyway... let's get back to the Cave of Kawrea. No, I am not talking about Korea. >_>

"I'm sorry but I keep laughing at how much size difference is obvious within your team..." Hien chuckled.

"... *pfft* You ouhgt to talk, bugboy!" Sparchu replied.

"...Hien, can we move please? It's getting a bit hot..." Akvmovat had to request.

"...! Oh yes, I apologize. Just had to laugh with my jolly friend over here. Shall we get going, then?" Hien asked.

"Of course! Wasting time is a big no-no!

So Meden? Any leads?"

"Give me a sec. *looks ahead*

Hm... hm.

It may be a bit dark on some parts, but there's nothing out of the ordinary. The wild Pokémon seem to be non-agressive, and we're safe to pass. If you have dragonophobia, then get out of here." Meden replies.

"...wow, you see all those from this far?" Roze was amazed, seeing as how dark the path ahead is, but the Pichu was still able to analyze it.

So they walk ahead quite smoothly. A few geisers invading their way. The first floor was like a hall, actually -- it was like the cave was built by Pokémon themselves. This floor also seemed to be a house for a lot of Salamence, and it could be assumed that this is one entire family of Salamences for there were so many of them. Many were asleep, but there were still quite a number that were awake. As Tailwind and RtS pass, the Salamences that are awake eyed them suspiciously. But when they set eyes on Hien, they suddenly flinch back a bit, and stops staring. Before they got to the first stairs down, it was guarded by 2 Salamences. They weren't allowing them to pass, but Hien just flew in front of them and stared at them a bit. This somehow intimidated the 2 Salamences and allowed the teams passage all of a sudden.

"...fine, I'll explain now. These Salamences were victims of Master Hiryu's scheme on his needles. I also remember that Hiryu actually almost beat up the entire family of Salamences that it made them bow down to him, but Hiryu took advantage of that and experimented with them. But now that I've told them everything in reality, and that they recognize me as the white-strider, they will not contradict anything that comes from me."

"...I never knew this? I always thought you had to sneak through these mences to get entrance..."

So once they reached what is considerably the B2F of the cave, it was the real dungeon then. Some wild Pokémon looking to be knocked out, which Hien and Sparchu were actually making a game out of, looking to see how many they can take down before they find the stairs.

But it seems that they were having a bit too fun, and Meden got annoyed. "...*tsk* Sparchu, Hien, and the others -- the stairs are just a few meters north from here, but we have to go around a few directions from these ravines in order to get there properly." Meden finally retorted. Sparchu was a bit dumbfounded after that, for he saw another way to the stairs, but it turns out it was actually blocked by a boulder.

"...very strong senses... I think you're so much worth than many of us right now..."

Stopping the foolishness, they proceed to the stairs further.

Well it was a typical dungeon exploration, actually -- just some strong wild Pokémon coming here and there, very challenging. They eventually got to the floor that alerted hien -- B30F.

"...anytime now..."

"...?"

"Everyone, watch your backs and the others' backs for your backs, too."

"...what?"

"...just protect each other and yourself, that's all."

"...why can't this Ninjask just say it like that?"

"Well... I blame Sparchu."

"No, I blame Akvmovat." Akiha says.

"...of course it's not my vocab! Hien keeps saying that all the time!" Akvmovat had to argue.

But their noise obviously couldn't go too far, and later Hien got what he was waiting for. "Damn it! They're coming faster than ever! Fight those primals!"

Yet again another swarm of primals is invading them. This meant a lot for Akiha and Akvmovat to test their skills.

Akvmovat has shown expert mastery of the Pokédo, casting Water Pulse at many of the primal Pokémon that are weak to water because of the environment. Rock-types was smoldered by Akvmovat's innate ability to fight as a Heracross. This well-rounded fighting skill of Akvmovat serves as a very good offense.

Akiha's large body for a Staraptor showed its worth here as she speeds up to charge at anything within her way, pecking stuff and using wings as alternative attacking sources.

Sparchu and Hien still treated this as a game -- they were KOing primals like there was no tomorrow.

Zangetsu got more on his magical side as he switched to throw Aura at the opponents this time instead of his usual combos with his unusual power. But as usual, Zangetsu has overrided a bit, and Sparchu noticed a small shed on his face again.

Roze was intaking physical damage that any of her teammates may be intaking, again with her sturdy body. But as she was running around, Meden latched on her to head.

"...trust me on this one! Just keep doing what you're doing!"

So Roze just did what she kept doing.

Meden, still on Roze's head, was a bit unusual, being just a new Tailwind member. She saw a primal Golem that was about to pummel Sparchu into oblivion (Sparchu was embarrasingly cornered), when Sparchu suddenly saw that the Golem suddenly fainted. Sparchu noticed a shockline directly on a very weakspot of the Golem -- their head.

"...Meden? Did you do that?"

Ignoring her commander, Meden spotted an Arcanine that would be biting Roze's back. But before the primal Arcanine could get close, the Arcanine flipped over, fainted, with a shockline directlyt on its... crotch.

Akiha was suddenly grounded by a primal Flygon trying to eat her, then later the Flygon fainted with a shockline on its eye.

"...wow, Meden! Such a sharpshooter!"

This seemed to be Meden's power in battle. Despite her small body as a Pichu, she knows the signature moves of 2 auras in the chus -- Shockline and Deltashock, while using her extraordinary sight to pierce through the weakness of others.

This very good progress eventually made the primals go bye-bye.

"That's one nasty Pichu you got there! Where'd you get her?"

"...what the, excuse me, you do not get members by simply picking them up!"

"Chill dude, I was just kidding. Anyway, I didn't like this floor because I'm pretty sure it was invaded. But fortunately, this is the only floor that is.

So they go deeper and deeper with the usual routine again. They eventually reach the final floor, B38F. It was a very scenic room, very fitting for an underground volcano scene. Hien found a treasure chest without anything in it, and recognized it as a chest with Hiryu's prints. Hiryu must have obtained something from this from before.

But what caught Hien's attention was the fact that there was another chest there which he cannot seem to open. He directed everyone's attention there.

He tried to rally all of them to try and open the chest, but no one actually succeeded. Meden tried to analyze the chest, but it looked so ordinary to even her.

Zangetsu stepped up all of a sudden, as if knowing how to open the treasure chest. Stepping near the treasure chest, he placed his handon the lock. A few glows... a few glows. Zangetsu then pulled up the chest without any hardship, which surprised all of them -- how could their combined power fail to open a treasure chest, when Zangetsu could open it on his own?

What they found inside? First was something that looked like a mirror or something. It was green, and had fire surrounding it in a pattern in such a way that it almost looked like the sun.

The second thing they found was a black muffler, a bit ragged. Zangetsu found this amusing and immediately wore it around his neck, making him look more like a legendary hero, lol!

The third thing they found was the most peculiar of them all. An Oblivious Needle.

"...what... what's such a thing doing here?"

"Look at it... it's so pure, no one has ever held it and used its power yet!"

Meden inspected the needle for herself. As she was looking, she found some text, very small text, inscribed on the needle.

"Komo... est... Arwald." it said. As Meden uttered these words, however, the Oblivious Needle suddenly flew up, as if it was alive. This alerted all of them into a fighting stance. It flew towards Hien in a direct hit. Hien was about to dodge it, when suddenly Hien couldn't move by a power radiated by the needle. This applied to all of them, who suddenly became immobile.

"...uwargh... I don't believe it! This power's taking my mobility again!"

"Commander! What is this!"

"Believe me, I don't know either!"

A few minutes later a few primals entered the room. Big Pokémon appeared this time -- primal Tyranitars, Metagross, and sometimes even Bronzongs, Scizors, and Gyarados. They were about to brutally attack the immobilized Pokémon, when an Arcanine suddenly grabbed the first treasure (the mirror looking one) from Sparchu's hands and suddenly the primals flinched back, as if they were slashed by an invisible sword.

"Isn't that...?"

"...yes indeed, this is Squad 13's Vice-Captain!"

It was squad 13's Shiny Arcanine, Amaterasu! This time, all of them could see the peculiar red patterns on her. Like Issun, the Arcanine also held a Celestial Brush somewhere, and she was using it to fight the primals off. Getting off a few Howls to empower herself, she placed the flaming mirror on her back and used it as a small weapon, which was still effective. But the number of primals were just too many for one Arcanine to handle, even with a weapon and the brush. Eventually Amaterasu was cornered in the same spot as the others, and the Oblivious Needle immobilized her.

The next Pokémon that approached was scary. A primal Weavile was actually ready to ASSASSINATE all of them with its claws somehow forged into the shape of an executioner sword. This suddenly made all the females cry and scream so loud, and the males gasp for their lives, when suddenly...

"...hm, dumb me, I shouldn't really drop a very good item such as this..."

"...?!"

Another Ninjask appeared from the shadows, but differently colored from Hien. With a few swift waves of the other Ninjask's scythes, he suddenly burst and dashed with a visible white light unto the number of primals, and cut them out for a lot of bloodshed. This other Ninjask suddenly let loose some electricity from his body, as if performing a Discharge.

"What the?! Ninjasks can't perform Discharges! Do they?!"

"I'm pretty sure we can't!

...but..."

This other Ninjask then finished off everything as it suddenly held on to the Oblivious Needle that was taking hold of all the RtS and Tailwind members. With this, the seal broke out. The other Ninjask then attached the needle to his single-falchion pincer, and proceeded to have maximum speed. This allowed him to make short work of the sudden swarm of primals, and eventually all the primals were knocked out now. All of them would've been killed if not for this Ninjask!

"What power...!"

"...what a Ninjask..."

"...whoa..." Meden.

"...unbelievable... I wanna learn that..." Akiha.

"...wicked..." Akvmovat.

Sparchu and Hien's reactions were different from them.

"It... It can't be..."

"...are... are my eyes failing me...?"

The other Ninjask then hid the Needle, and went near the other Pokémon.

"...I deeply apologize, I shouldn't have dropped this needle of disaster in the first pla~

...Sparchu..."

"...oh my... oh my..."

"...and... Hien...?"

"...I... I don't know what to say. Is that... is that really you...?"

The other Ninjask, Hien, and Sparchu were all staring at each other for quite a while. After a few minutes, Hien suddenly shouted.

"MASTER...!" I don't think bugs hug each other. I think that would hurt.

"...Hien... Hien... I never expected I'll be seeing you in a situation like this. So inappropriate. Haha... hahaha..."

"...why... how...? You... you hax!" Sparchu was speechless.

"I also see we have innocent beings around us. Could you please let go of me, Hien, and we'll talk about this later at night? Sparchu, please come to Hien's place too."

Sparchu just nodded without thinking, out of the shock. Well whatever, the other Ninjask just disappeared into the ground again.

"...

...let's just leave."

"...right...

...hey, oh, Amaterasu! Was this mirror yours?"

A slight bark, for an agreement, was heard from the Arcanine.

"Alright then, we're giving it to you. I'm actually wondering what it's doing here so deep..."

After thanking RtS and Tailwind with a short howl, Amaterasu drew an X-mark on the air and teleported with a mist, just like Issun does.

They then walk out back to the surface. Questions from Meden, Zangetsu, Roze, Akiha, and Akvmovat were being throwed continuously at Sparchu and Hien, who refused to answer. Meden sensed that they didn't want to talk about it, so she gave everyone a bunch of Pure Seeds to teleport out of the way immediately. They eventually got back to the surface.

"Hm, that wasn't too impressive or what."

"Hey, it's Kawrea. Even if it's a mystic location, since when did anyone say there was something worth down there? Anyway... it's been quite a day. We'll see you around somewhere, I guess."

"Alright, same here! Take care, Hien!"

The two teams part their ways.

OOC: ...For f's sake I don't want to type out the entire conversation that Tailwind has now on their base, but whatever, I'll type that sometime else. Right now I'm sick and needs some rest.

"Ice beam!" Zeni shouted, sending the attack towards an approaching electrike, freezing it in its place, and then rushing forward in the dungeon alongside Zap, who had come up with the plan to just freeze the pokemon they encountered and move onward, for the more time they took, the less time they would have at saving that Plusle at the end of the amp plains. As they got closer to the end of the dungeon, Zap suddenly stopped, and began to look confused as his cheecks were beginning to become charged without his will, and it felt like he was being pulled toward the final staircase, while Zeni just couldn't really move at all, like he had been paralyzed.

"I-it's a discharge!" Zeni shouted, finally breaking free of his paralysis and trying to stop Zap from being pulled, but was too afraid to touch Zap, because he was surging with electrical energy now.

"Cover yourself with ice, Zeni! I need to release this energy with a discharge!" Zap shouted, waiting for the ice to fully cover zeni, and then releasing all of this suddenly forced energy that was stored inside of him, watching the ice crack into pieces, but Zeni seemed fine, as the ice had taken the majority of the damage. zeni rushed up to zap and began to ask his millions of questions, but was cut off when a giant streak of electricity surged from the sky to the ground in the next room over, with such force that the ground even shook for a little while.

"Wow! that's gotta be one powerful thunder!" Zeni said, amazed, but was quickly slapped a few times by Zap.

"Don't be such a fool! That was the plusle, that could have killed it! We have to MOVE!" zap shouted, deeply angered by Zeni's carelessness, and then rushing off on his own to the next room over, leaving Zeni dumbfounded, but soon woke up from his slight daze, and rushed after the little minun. Once Zeni arrived on the scene, all he saw was Zap just standing at the entrance to the final room of amp plains, looking on at the scene of a Plusle looking quite angry, glaring at the Altaria at the other side of the room.

"Stop trying to help me! I want to die!" Plusle shouted, attempting at another thunder attack, but was prevented at this by getting hit with Altaria's whirlwind, knocking the plusle off its feet.

"I cannot allow you to do that!" the Altaria pleaded in its soft, melodic, enchanting voice, like her very being wasn't of this world.

"That's it!" Zap shouted, breaking free of his silence.

"That's what?" Zeni questioned, a worried look on his face.

"That Altaria, its one of the children of morganna, that's why it's trying to prevent the Plusle from killing itself! Zeni, keep the Altaria busy, I'm going to go over to the Plusle and work things out!"

Zeni nodded and rushed over on a surf wave to the altaria, trying to strike it, but it simply floated into the sky, dodging the crashing waves. The plan was working so far, as Zap though, but when he got over to the Plusle, something was going wrong...a sudden surge went off inside of himself, and there was that pulling feeling again, he was being pulled towards Plusle's positive charge!

"You!" the Plusle sreeched, apparently it was a girl judging from the sound of its voice. "You are the one that's caused me so much pain! you weren't around to quell this power, and I've suffered for it! I will kill us both here, right now! Thunder!"

"Gorre!!" Zap shouted, in an attempt to activate the spirit halves in both of them, to either take the blow, get them out of the situation, or to block the attack. Minun began to glow a blue aura around his body, and once he made contact with the Plusle, she began to glow a pinkish color, and the thunder about to crash down on them changed to a light purple color and crashed on them with no force at all, as it it were just a large light, and not an attack. "This is it! This is the power of Gorre! It's changed the attack into a healing surge of electricity!"


"Wha--What?!" the Plusle yelled, pushing the Minun away from herself, and at the moment the lost contact, the light dissapeared, and they two of them stopped glowing.

"Im sure Fox will know all the semantics about this, so we had better leave now before we get into more trouble!" Zap said to the Plusle with a big smile on his face, but was only smacked in the head in return.

"Who the hell do you think you are, healing me from all of the pain i've suffered, you're a jerk!" She said, folding her arms and turning away from Zap, an angry frown on her face, and only a questioned and confused look on zaps, who had no idea what was going on.

"Now that Gorre has been reunited, Innis may leave and go back to Corbenik...." The altaria said in its melodic voice that seemed to fill the entire amp plains, even though the voice was so soft, almost a whisper. In an instand, a deep fog filled the end room of amp plains, and once it cleared, the Altaria was gone, and Zeni rushed back over to Zap and the Plusle.

"You have to answer my questions!" Plusle shouted at the two of them, starting her endless rant of questioning, and Zeni leaned over to Zap and whispered in his ear,

"She's so annoying, why wont she ever shut up?"

but Zap only replied with a shaking of his head in dissapointment, as Zeni was just so stupid sometimes.

"Why're you shaking your head?! You aren't going to answer my questions?! fine, I'll leave!!" the Plusle screeched, beginning to walk off, but was stopped by Zap.

"We can sort of answer your questions, but it would be better if you came with us back to our HQ, where our leader, Fox, will be able to answer your questions. We only know so much, but Fox seems to know everything so far."

"Fine then! Let's go!" The plusle said, leading the way out of Amp Plains.

---

"My leader said to come looking for you, so here I am. Are you willing to join Epitaph, or not?"

"I'll join on one condition."

"...Which is?"

"If Fox can beat me in a fair fight, without that blasted demon!"

"Heh...as you wish. Come with me."

The walk back to base from the slums, was a very realxing one for the most part for Fox. He looked about at the playing bug and grass types, and rushing to and fro pokemon of all sizes and shapes with various accessories and the like. what stood out the most though about these pokemon, were the badges that they wore proudly, the explorer team badge. Although it may not seem like much to them, Fox knew that they would be nothing but a shadow of their former selves without them, but it also gave Fox the feeling that he was a shadow. Back in his origin time, they never used a badge system, there was no need. If you could help someone out with a problem, then good for you, you are a good pokemon, and you should be proud of yourself.

Fox shook off the thought as he saw two stationary pokemon standing in the middle of the path in the woods, as if they were waiting for Fox to arrive. He wasn't very good with silhouettes of pokemon, Astraeus was, so Fox had to walk cautiously as he got closer to them. Soon, once he got close enough, his pace and step changed from that of caution, to that of normal. It was Kaze and Scizor.

"Good news I presume?" Fox questioned in his normal, calm voice.

"Somewhat." Kaze spat out. Fox was beginning to wish that Kaze remained silent, however, he would shrug it off for now. Pokemon don't become irritible all of a sudden, something must have happened. "Scizor wants to have a fair fight, and if you win, he'll join. Those are his terms."

"Is this true, Scizor? May I question why?"

"My familly has deserted me, my honor was eliminated, and my strength was mocked and destroyed in the blink of an eye, all because of the demon that you posses! I want to have my honor and respect returned, and that is only possible with my win or loss in a fair fight. Please, grant me this one wish, and we will see what comes of it!"

"We shall see what comes of it then." Fox said with a smile, but then broke his smile to continue speaking. "We have some time before Minun and Zeni return from the Amp Plains anyways. Kaze, go back to HQ and continue remodeling. We'll be having two new members by the end of the day!" Fox ended with a small laugh, and then waited for Kaze to leave before jumping back a few paces and getting into a battle stance. "Well, Scizor, I hope you are ready, cause I am!"

"Im more than ready!" Scizor cried out, holding his claws out toward Fox and setting off a bullet seed attack, leaving mulitple tiny explosions where Fox was standing, and Scizor stood like he was before, with his claws extended outward, waiting for the smoke to clear. Sadly for Scizor, the smoke never had a chance to clear as a somewhat large fireball errupted through the smoke, absorbing half of the remaining dust and smoke in the air into itself and giving it more strength as it hurdled toward Scizor at a great speed, but Scizor was much faster than this fireball, and sidestepped out of its way, letting it pass by him, keeping his focus on the point where Fox was. However, Fox was no longer there when the smoke cleared. Scizor turned around to see Fox swatting the fireball that he just let fly past Scizor with his tails, right back at Scizor. Because of the way Scizor was angled, only having turned his head around to look over his shoulder, he couldn't position his body properly to make another good sidestep, and was hit directly by the fireball, knocking him to the ground.

"You've taken quite a bit of damage, Scizor, still willing to fight?"

"You've gotten quicker, I can say that much, but i don't know if you've gotten stronger as time has progressed!"

"I'll take that as a 'Yes, lets continue' !" Fox laughed, preparing his next attack. He spread his tails apart and began to conjure up blue fireballs at the tips of each tail, and then opening his mouth as a small blue glow began to form there. With a flick of his body, Fox let the will-o-wisp fly toward Scizor, who was now getting up from the fireball from before, moving parts of his body here and there to dodge the oncomming blue fireballs, turning into nothing once they hit the ground, or anythign else that wasn't Scizor. After dodging the ninth fireball, Scizor began to rush toward Fox, who was stationary in the path, holding head down low to conceal the glow of the flame forming in his mouth. Scizor drew his claw back as it began to glow white, a fully prepared metal claw, but as he began to get closer to Fox, fox picked his head up to show a blue flame forming in his mouth, and a smile behind the flame on Fox's face. Once seeing this, Scizor tried to look past it by upping his speed, but failed to do a thing as the blue flame shot forth so suddenly, smothering scizor instantly, and even having enough for ce to stop such a speeding pokemon, and send it flying backward.

"What...What was that?" Scizor asked, struggling to stand up after such a powerful surge of fire.

"Kind of like a will-o-wisp delivered like a flamethrower, I'd say. Will-o-wisp's fire is generated differently than a regular fire attack, so when condensed in a small area, and properly charged, it can have devestating effects, such as stopping you in your stracks when you were going too fast to be stopped by anything less than a hyper beam, and even sending you flying backwards."

"O-Only two attacks...and I-Im defeated so easily?" Scizor was so shocked by such a power, that he began to studder, but he also began to realize that even without the power of the demon, Fox would have won the fight back in the woods that one day. "I guess you...win this one."

"You know, even though I've won, you don't need to join our team."

"No...I do want to join. I have no where else to go, and under your leadership, i believe that I can get stronger, strong enough to defeat you one day."

"Friendly rivals, I guess you could call it! I think I have too many of these!" Fox said with a laugh as he turned around and began walking on towards the base. "Well, come on then, tough out the pain and lets get moving, you wont get stronger laying down."

---

"So, what can you tell me, about this Fox guy, and your team?" Plusle questioned as they finally exited the Amp Plains, and began to head to the main path to Neo Treasure Town.

"Fox is our leader, the first member of Team Epitaph!" Zeni blurted out, and Plusle gave off a small iggle at this heroic stance Zeni made as he announced this.

"And how long have you two been in the team?"

"Well, I joined just recently, about a few months ago, I think, and Zap was the second member of the team." Zeni blurted out again, dropping the heroic pose, as nothing was really heroic about this information.

"Oh, so how long has the team been around then, if you were the second member? You don't seem so old, and you haven't really talked about your leader much, other than his name and rank."

"Epitaph has existed for more than one thousand years." Zap said with no emotion or personality behind his voice at all, not even looking at Plusle, only looking forward. Plusle began to giggle again.

"Aww, that's so cute, but no seriously, how long has the team been around for?"

"He's not lying, Plusle!" Zeni pleaded to her, which only caused her to stop in her tracks with a shocked expression on her face.

"But no pokemon can live for that long, I-I mean thats impossible! How does that work? Who is--"

"Fox will tell you everything you need to know, when he feels that you need to know it. As for now, just let your mind wander on the idea, and let us have a silent, relaxing walk back to HQ."

OOC: FFS, my writer's block continues.

*In Plusle's eyes* As the trio of small poemon finally arrived at the base, Plusle looked onward to see a medium sized pokemon with the finest silver fure she had ever seen, glittering brilliantly along with the sun as the silver pokemon and a Scizor stopepd short of entering the base as they heard the trio approaching. Plusle couldn't wait to see who this mysterious pokemon was, waiting anxiously as the pokemon turned their over over its shoulder to look at her with those pure, innocent, red eyes, also glittering with the sun as they seemed to peirce through her very soul.

*back to reality of the moment*

"Well, don't you look like an annoying one?" Fox said with a grin, fully turnning around to face the Plusle, who seemed to have just broken out of a calm state and shocked into an angered state, although Fox didn't understand why this had happened.

"GRAH! All of you boys are so stupid and annoying! Im leaving!" The Plusle yelled, turning around, but was stopped by Fox, who was suddenly blocking her way.

"I cannot allow you to leave, Plusle. Whatever your life was before today, or before you started having your uncontrollable power, is now meaningless now that you have become introduced to the exploration team, Epitaph. You are part of something bigger than just Terra now. Please, come inside, make yourself at home, for we have a big night ahead of us tonight.

Once nightfall came, Fox directed the team out of the building, and directed them to sit in a circle, lighting a patch of sticks on fire with a small breath of fire, and then taking his place on a stump, big enough for him to lay down on.

"I assume both of you, and by that I mean Scizor and Plusle, have many questions for me, but with this story, I hope that it will answer all of your questions, and even more so. My name is Fox, the first team member of epitaph, the teams creator. Epitaph was formed about 1000 years ago, give or take a few extra 10 or 20 years. Back in that time, I was a simple Vulpix with a strange ability to hear the cries and pleas of help from pokemon far away, and with this power, I became a legend amongst the times of the old age. I would save the pokemon, bring them back to safetey, and be on my way to save other pokemon, for saving others was much more important than a simply meaningless reward. i won't say I went without thanks, as with my power to hear cries of help, I was also able to hear my thanks from miles away, as I was most likely already at that distance by the time the guildmaster and the ones I had saved knew I had gone. Now, you may be wondering how I am here. To put it simply, I was frozen in time by a very jealous and bad team known as the demons of time. They stunned me with a stun seed, and placed me in an area where I would never be disturbed. I would be a trophy to them, probobly the greatest they ever had. About 4 years ago, Zap bumped into me, freeing me from my time prison, and that is how i remain here today. Since then, Zap and I have gone on some pretty amazing adventures, along side our other two companions, a Celebi, and the great mind known as Astraeus, who now lives on blizzard Island, if you would like to know. Now, the mention of four years ago must make all of you remember certain events, and yes, me and Zap were apart of said events. Now, I hope that with our new team here, we go on some grand adventures of our own, and continue the legend of Team Epitaph. Any remaining questions?"

"Well, I'd like to know how you know so much about my uncontrollable power. Zap had told me that you knew everyhtign about this situation, and even why that Altaria was acting strange and not letting me kill myself."

Fox proceeded to explain the best he could about Morganna, the children of morganna, why her powers were uncontrolled, why she is now part of something bigger just for having the second half of gorre, and even explained the situation of Corbenik and Innis, now identified with the body of an Altaria.

"It's all so...confusing." Plusle said, trying to let all the information come together, but it was just too much for her right now."

"Don't worry, just let it all sink in for now, let it all settle in your mind with a good nights sleep. Tomorrow is a big day, everyone, so get some good rest, and have a hearty dinner aswell, as there will not be breakfast tomorrow, we have no time to waste!"

OOC: character Sheets for Scizor and Plusle coming next post. also, hope you all noticed that little joke i made at the beginning of this post

quote Dragon Warrior1

Words

OOC: I do hope I can find that little joke anywhere. I'm sorry for being stupid

OOC: lol, the joke is that Plusle looks on at fox like hes some kind of god like figure, and then he turns around and calls her annoying, pretty much, lol.

OOC: Oh okay, if that's it then I definitely got that (Fox does look hot in some way D: ) ; I thought it was in reference for something or what.

Will write later.

EDIT:

Back at Squad 6 headquarters, this morning, Ren woke up in bad condition, and immediately approached Byakune's room. In lien to this, as Ren opened the door, Byakune, who was assumably up the entire night, bursted at the door and smacked Ren right on the head.

"...clear? Clear... I think so."

"...! Captain! What was that for! I already had a bad night!"

"I had a worse night than you, Ren! You never knew what transpired last night, didn't you?!"

"All I remember was having a really bad nightmare, that's it!"

"Damn it Ren, I don't want to elaborate what happened. But anyway, fine, I will."

Byakune explained as much on what happened last night -- Ren's uncontrollable primal being an existence, combining his power with her mother Zanken's, still primal.

"...I... I did all that?"

"Yes and although it's not your fault, I expect you to clear up the guest room."

"..."

"...also... what did also surprise me back then was... your primal seemed to know exactly how to do the second release."

"The second relea~ Bankai?...!"

"Reluctantly I didn't hear a thing on how it was called out. It seemed as if your Zanpaku-to controlled your body perfectly and that it was the one that actually forced you to have it.

I stayed up all night thinking about everything I know, and I don't think you'd want to know more about what I've gathered."

"Captain, I must know. It's my family."

"I think you've heard enough from yesterday night."

"No captain, I need all the details. Please... don't be reluctant to share them."

Hard as it seems, Byakune then told the exact story that was told yesterday, then after that he revealed some parts that weren't of both Esura and Ren's knowing at all.

"...so she seriously did think of killing him..."

"There's that part of her which really says so. But right now, a big part of Zanken, I could feel, wants to forgive Shin now. It was because Shin killed himself because of his stupidity, and Zanken still sees that as an honorable move, and it's enough for her that Shin decided this. As for Asurie, I never actually saw her again. I don't think Esura even knows the whereabouts of his mother either. But no doubt I know Asurie, Shin, and Zanken for I've come too close to those 3 back then."

"...Byakune. Did you then... take me as your vice because..."

"...I never considered the background of your family at all back then. You were just a stray Luxio that I found in the ruins. But you reminded me of Shin too much, and thus I took you in. But I never considered that I was doing it for your pity, never at all."

"...I'm glad you never thought that. I would be so ashamed if you just took me in your pitied personality..."

"...I have more pity on myself than anyone else, Ren. I think you know why."

"...captain...

...I know, I'll help you out this time. To whatever I can. About who you were before you discovered the sword."

"Even I have no leads Ren, I don't know how you'll accomplish that..."

Then came in Esura, who was silenced by the events of yesternight.

"...

...the skies are clear. You may leave without a sound."

The Absol stared a few moments, then just left.

"I think you'll want to talk to him later, though."

"...I think so. If as you say, Zanken spoke of how much vengeance she has, Esura might be looking at things so differently right now."

"I'll leave that matter up to you. Now get going, I'm still trying to do something here. But by noon, I'll drag you out to the field again. Now that your bankai was released, your body is unstable than ever if you can't control it; worse that you can't even call it out on your own! And I won't hesitate to wound you if it's needed."

"...alright captain. Though I might just regret that answer of mine..."

Then suddenly a call from the Teigon Main Quarters for all captains was issued. Byakune disappeared in a glance.

There in the Squad 1 Quarters...

"Unfortunately, our failed efforts to find the source of those lead me to the conclusion that we must begin heavy investigation. Yes, this means that we'll be spending a lot of time outside of the Teigon this time, as we must find all the leads we can." Head Captain Essie briefs.

I won't be bothered to narrate everything that happened here. It's just then explaining that there's something definitely controlling the primals, and the next objective is to find the source of those primals.

In the same faraway island I've been talking about a lot of pages ago...

"I can't believe how this thing got away from me. How did this have much power still?"

"I don't know at all! I thought all of the gears and needles were put to sleep already!"

"Maybe your surge of power made this needle persist. I mean... you're the strongest of all the guardians that are holding gears."

"...flattering, but I don't see a way to contradict that. I've been able to wreck havoc among many of these guardians myself back then... I may be still potentially dangerous."

"...no, not anymore. Your soul is tightly guarded by the moon -- all of you are immune to all kinds of spirit alterations. Though that means it may be limitting your power too..."

"I'm fine with it... I think. What if I need to use my godly powers again sometime?"

"I'm... not sure. You'll have to break free of the limitations set upon you..."

"...I found more needles in these locations, Madame Yumigami!"

"Your finally back Showers...

...interesting. I never expected that there'd be many more potentially holding a guardian item. Must've missed out from 4 years ago, it seems..."

"I'm more interested on the properties of the other locations instead, though... it seems like they form a pattern or something."

"It's up to the land dwellers to manipulate that... especially that Smeargle named Issun..."

"...Bonjour, Yumigami!"

"...Waka."

"What, come to be bored again?"

"No no no. I just came by to drop off more of that powder that I found. Might come handy for you."

"This is...!

Venus, confine this in a very safe small container! We'll definitely need this, and get analyzing soon."

"Yes Madame."

"Hey, why can't we just bring it to the DPARI instead? I mean..."

"...you're just too eager, you Salamence. When the time is right, we can finally approach them -- when they've gone out of their obliviousness as to what is happening."

"I'm leaving now. Au revoir!"

"...that Waka. He never stops moving, does he?"

"...I don't even know why he has the powers of the moon..."

OOC: Damn it my hands hurt.

BIC:

"Two letters? One addressed to team epitaph, and the other...to Fox?" Zap questioned as he was soon awakened by Plusle, holding the two letters, not sure what to do, so she turned to Zap, as he was the closest to her so far in her journey with Epitaph.

"Yeah, what should I, like, do? I'm pretty sure I can give Fox his letter, but what about the Epitaph letter? Should I, like, read it?"

"*yawn* Just give both letters to Fox, he'll tell you."

"But I...I don't want to wake him." Plusle said in a kind of whispered tone, looking over to the door that lead to Fox's room. After many renovations, rooms and furniture had been crafted into the shack lick HQ for team Epitaph. After saying this, Zap laughed a little, and then layed his head back down.

"Don't ever worry about needing to wake Fox up, for he is always awake before anyone else. Hell, you'd be lucky if you actually found him in his room in the morning."

"What's that supposed to mean?!" Plusle said, putting her hands at her hips.

"Fox likes to go for walks, to enjoy the nature surrounding us, all over Terra. If he's not in his room, he's out there somewhere, and if its like what happened with Zeni, he's probobly out there trying to convince a pokemon to join team Epitaph. But he said today was an important day, so he should be in there. Just give a few knocks at the door, and he'll let you in if hes there, ok? Now I've got a good half hour left before am to really wake up, let me have it please."

Plusle gave off an exasperated sigh, and then walked over to Fox's door, knocked on it, and heard some mumbling from the other side, and a latch sound, the door had been unlocked, so Plusle opened the door walked in, and closed the door, looking at the ground the whole time, before looking up when Fox did a small cough to get her attention.

"Yes? Can I help you? It's not time to go yet..." Fox said, pacing back and forth, stopping every now and then to look at Plusle. He was unusually anxious.

"Well, we have some mail, and one is addressed to the team, and one is addressed to you, and--"

"Give me my letter, and when everyone wakes up, read the team letter to them." Fox said, reaching for his letter, and then placing it on the table. "Anything else?"

"Well...Im not sure...I have this weird feeling inside me, just recently this only happened, and, well..." Plusle began to blush and looked down to hide it, but fox didn't notice.

"Hmm...well, it could be the fact that the red half of gorre is said not to exist as a seperate entity, but other than that myth, im not sure what it could be. Maybe you are sick? If you are, get better in the next half hour!" Fox said with a grin on his face, turning back to the table, and beginning to read the letter out loud.

"Dear Fox, It is time that we meet, to discuss things of the spectral matter. Enclosed with this letter, I have placed a map which should look odd to you, as it shows a world you have never seen before. It is up to you to figure out this map, and where to go, for once you solve this maps mystery, you will find where you are to meet me. There would be no point in you meeting me if you can't solve this simple task. ~From Fidchell, the Prophet.

"Who's Fidchell?"

"One of the children of morganna, the neutral side of our spectrum. Apparently, he knows of the way to rescue Burakki, the umbreon that corbenik took over. That Altaria though...I'm not sure of. It seems like a well hearted pokemon and spirit, but I don't know if she is like fidchell, or if she is like corbenik...all will be eplxained once we come back from the adventures we start today, so no worries!" Fox said with a grin, sending Plusle out to enjoy her last moments of sleep before she was to read the message to everyone.

"Dear Team Epitaph, I request your presence at the Happy Outlook entrance as quickly as possible. It will be a long journey, Im sure of that, so with this letter I have placed 10000 poke for you to buy supplies for the long journey. All will be explained when you get here, so make haste! ~From "A friend" "

"Should we trust it?" Zap questioned.

"Yes, you may trust it. Now, follow the letters instructions. Go buy supplies, and then begin your long adventure to the Happy Outlook." Fox said, heading outside to find the best light to take a good look at his challenge provided by Fidchell.
