OOC: FFD000 could work, thanks! I was looking at how text would look behind the Neo White Background (eef0f9, the color that Neoseeker uses for Neo White), and FFD000 doesn't hurt the eyes! Yey.

EDIT: Keh... what is this?! The character list is getting eaten up with HTML text. AGAIN.

This is weird... does anyone know the Neo forum on where bugs are reported? To ensure that nothing of the sort happen, I'm going to save up a file of the character list on my magical storage so I can refer to it.
EDIT3: I've finally found the cause of the problem. Apparently, a post cannot exceed 65536 characters when translated into HTML. BUT the Edit function seems to work this around. Problem is, when you click edit on the exceeding thread again, the post will then limit itself to 65536 characters and 'eat up' the remaining excess. To work around this, I have currently abused the Edit function and I'm never going to edit it again from the Neo box, and will just edit it in my magical storage, THEN abuse the Edit function. On the next thread, I will allot, unfortunately, the first 3 posts for the details... as I'm cutting the character lists in half. (I'm sorry if my character list is too big!)

EDIT2: I liked the fight scene, yes. Oh, and I'm pretty sure Razen already knows about it. Seeing as how you portrayed more on Kenzar, I might do the impossible and give his Zanpaku-to a name.

Oh, and I'm in the mood to RP post even a bit, so yey.

There's a certain place that usually isn't minded in the Town. That's probably the bar. So let's head over there, shall we.

The Heracross of the RtS Dojo, Akvmovat, enters the bar. He mildly drinks -- usually he goes to the bar for the insane number of rumors and news spreading around. As he walks in, a certain Floatzel named Roze happened to be crossing the same place. Roze and Akvmovat were batchmates from the old PokéSchool from before, so Roze also enters and sits beside Akvmovat quickly.

"Hey, Racross." says Roze, greeting Akvmovat.

"...Oh, hi Ploat. It's been a while now." comments Akvmovat, the Heracross.

Conversation: Roze and Akvmovat
Roze: "I trust you've been doing well? I surely couldn't forget the honors you've brought."
Akvmovat: "Why of course, I've been taken in as an underling of... you've heard the living Soul Reaper, Hien Gon right?"
R: "Why of course, commander has been mentioning his name for quite a while now. I heard he's quite a Ninask."
A: "He is. I think you've also heard of the RtS, right? Well I'm the second student, and I'm proud of it."
R: "Oh? That's quite an achievement! I've heard the entire history behind Hien and Hiryu... I know how it would feel being a student of such a great master."
A: "Actually! It's the first time I'm not feeling left out with my intelligence. Yes, I'm still weird."
"R: No you're not. I think you're unique -- a Heracross that specializes magic? You won't see that anywhere else!"
A: "...actually I'm worried. Have you heard from your commander, the story of the primal era?"
"R: "Let me recall... yes, I've heard of it."
A: "I am fearing that my magic might just be abused by the primal entities. It was said that primals could possess some beings... and you'd become a primal yourself."
R: "I've heard of it too. It's scary, when I think of it..."

Then suddenly a certain Scizor enters in from nowhere, who apparently was overhearing the conversation. This Scizor was none other than Karasu Mirage, Pokétei 13's Squad 8 Captain.

Conversation: Roze, Akvmovat, Karasu
Karasu: "Ah, I'm hearing it right. Primals... they might just be those intimidating entities of this world. But with everything as goes, they are the ones that ruin the world's balance... eventually, they'll be the one to be eliminated."
Roze: "Who... who are you?"
Akvmovat: "...I know you! Captain Mirage, Pokétei 13's Squad 8. I forgot that this is your main hangout place."
K: "Hm, looks like someone knows me well! I applaud your being updated, Heracross."
A: "I am Akvmovat Racross, and I ambition to be an effective soul Reaper one day."
R: "Hi. I'm... Roze Ploat, Team Tailwind's medic and speediest member."
K: "Ah, it's no wonder both of you are talking of something trivial -- you both have a very good position in this world as of current. Anyway... the primal entities. I will tell the story again to you, but this time, I will put in as much details as I could...

Karasu then tells the entire story of the primal era from before. As he was storytelling, Akvmovat and Roze were asking a few questions. Akvmovat usually questioned about the more practical and scientific matters, while Roze wanted to know some details about the legendary beings that participated in the era.

"...?! No way?! Commander Sparchu... was part of that epic fight?"

"Yes he was, Roze. So was Hien, and some other Tailwind members... I just forgot the name of their ex-commander!" Karasu replies.

"...if I think about it now, Commander never mentions anything about the previous commander of Tailwind..."

Then suddenly from outside the bar, an explosion was heard. This made all the Pokémon inside the bar run in fear and hide at the back, while the three suddenly stood up and went outside to see what was happening.

The Dokon Dan was there. Again. They invaded the bar as seeing that the number of people there is very large.

"We've come back as promised, twerps! This time nothing's going to stop us. Don't interfere, and we're taking hold of this bar over here!" comments their main ace, Botan the Gardevoir.

"...You were fools to blindly barge in here." Karasu tells them.

"Nyan~, old man! You're one to say such things, yet you're a drunkard! What can you possibly do on us?" Nyanki the Glameow taunts the Scizor.

"...you dared question it. Fine then... go, Gasu-Kasu. Jinrai Furetsu..." Karasu immediately took action and unleashed his two Scissor-like pincers, which can technically be called his Zanpaku-to -- Gasu-Kasu. Out from those two pincers came out a large razor wind which was increasing in size, and was going towards the Dokon Dan. The Dokon Trio was able to endure it, but the razor wind was enough to badly affect the other Dokon Dan members, thus making only the Trio remain standing again.

"Gah~! You'll regret doing that to us! Have a taste of this!" Botan said with a loud voice, and readied to launch some sort of Fire Ball towards Karasu. Like all Scizors, Karasu was weak to fire. The ember was still forming in Botan's hands.

"...I would have to deal with you immediately, then. Gasu, Kasu... hear me now. Bullet Spear!" Karasu said. With a swift and sudden shine of his body, Karasu immediately positioned to leap off from his location, and delivered the ferocious move named Bullet Spear. The Bullet Spear is an attack based off from Bullet Punch, but this time using the power of the entire body to deliver. Karasu's Bullet Spear using his Zanpaku-to was enough to send both Nyanki and Botan flying, with Dorabot having to immediately make the Dokon Dan retreat as the Dokon ship floats away once again.

"Who... were they? The Dokon Dan... they seem to be new troublemakers around here."

"I've heard they've invaded the center of town not too long on this same day." Akvmovat complies.

"...they're certainly not cautious enough." Karasu comments.

Karasu did mention the move: Bullet Spear. As Lighty was walking down the same road (who was going to the CD store), Lighty heard and saw Karasu pull off the move. He eyed the Scizor and approached him.

"Lighty!"

"You...! Was that right that I heard?! You call... THAT move, a Bullet Spear?!"

"...yes I do. And you're problem is...?" Karasu questions Lighty with much oblivion to what the heck Lighty is talking about.

"In light of my favorite move, I won't accept having to back down from you! I challenge you to a duel, just a quick one -- one move duel, winner goes to most efficient move!" Lighty challenges Karasu.

"...this is sudden." Karasu notes.

"...I don't know about this, but seems as if this move, Bullet Spear, is rightfully Lighty's. I'll be on his side on this fight!"

"...Roze, this is no show! Stop trying to be an audience!" Akvmovat comments.

OOC: Woooh, I've done quite a number right now. Bullet Spear conflict, here I come. Also, as I said a while ago, I am trying my best to resolve the posts getting eaten up. Also, character update.

Ooc: Thanks for accepting me. This may sound stupid to all of you but... What's Zanpaku-to? ^^;

Ic:
In a hill not to far from the town:
"Where is he?! I'm famished! He should have been here by now!" protested Aurius, the youngest member of Team Carbon. While walking from a side to the other of the hill.
Will you stop moving?! You're making me nervous!" said a voice coming from the shadow of the tree. It was Krakony, the member in charge when the team commander is gone. "Hariake will be here soon so just WAIT!"
Momments after a Quilava appeared. This one wasn't like others. He was stronger than most of the Thyplosions and he had a scar on his left eye. "I leave for a minute and you guys are arguing already?!" he shouted to them.
"Sorry Harihake..." Aurius and Krakony replied back to Harihake, the Quilava.
"No matter. Lets just eat..." he announced in a cold voice. Harihake wasn't the kind of leader that recruits every member that asks to join. The recruit must have the right abilities and requirements to join. He also isn't the kind of enemy you want. He's cold to his foes no matter what. Even if he had to face an old friend.

*After the meal*

"So... Where are we going next?" questioned Krakony.
"We'll go to where the wind takes us... But first lets fill our bag in the town." he answered Krakony directing to the city.

Ooc: If anything's wrong just say that I edit.

"Kaze! Do your thing!" Fox shouted above the roars of the rushing wind at the peak of Mt. Bristle as they faced off against the criminal pokemon, Ariados, who had just recetnly stolen the money from a now depressed Spinda on his first journey to the mountain. The Ariados darted his vision back and forth as it started to walk backward slowly, looking for a way to escape. Kaze didn't allow this, however. Multiple Kaze's darted out as if running away from the origonal's body, circling around the Ariados, trapping it. A deep humming sound came from Kaze as he lifted his hands into the air as if operating marionettes, and the doppleganger Kaze's had a dark purple glow around them as they becam as stiff as a board and lifted off the ground by a few inches. Suddenly, Kaze too lifted himself off the ground, and began to spin the dopplegangers and himself in a cirlce, confusing and scaring the Ariados at the same time. During this little spinnign trick, a few Kaze clones flew into the Ariados and caused damage while also dissapearing into psychic energy after contact with the outlaw, and this continued until all the clones were destroyed, and the Ariados laying on the floor, knocked out. Fox turned his head over to Zap and gave a wink, signaling him to alert the Magnazone police to come and take the Ariados into custody. Zeni cheered as the police took the outlaw away, but then stopped when he realised that Fox and the others weren't following them.

"Hey! ...Hey! Why aren't we gfollowing them back to the city, to get our reward?!"

Fox gave Zeni his response in the form of a small chuckle.

"Well?! Answer me, don't laugh at me!"

"We are team Epitaph, Zeni. A team that has become a legend in multiple ways, darting back to the before time where it was a one member team that was mostly freelance. What made Team epitaph special was that the one member back then never stuck around to take rewards, and we keep that spirit of team epitaph present here in the...well, present." zap explained, turning to walk again, only to be stopped by Zeni yet again.

"Well, who was this one member guy? and if it was in the before time, that was when things didn't have much value! We could be stinking rich, you know! So who was this guy in the before time, thousands of years ago?"
Squirtle questioned in a usual annoying tone.

"Me." Fox replied in a 'convorsation is over' tone, and the tone he used seemed to do the trick as Zeni stayed silent the whole way back to the base, along with Kaze and Zap, which is what Fox had hoped for, a silent walk home.

Once home, Fox told the group that he was heading to the city to search out possible recruits for the team, and once he left, Zeni ran up to Zap.

"Was he really serious? i mean, Fox dosen't seem that old, and no one can live for thousands among thousands of years!"

"Yes, he was being serious. Fox, in the before time, was a simple Vulpix who had a strange ability to sense when a pokemon is in danger, so in the before time he was a very important part of pokemon survival wherever he landed off."

"So how is he still alive today, then? how can he stand in this world, and be as active as he is, and be so strong?"

"First off, his strength has come from his many years of training, although he isn't as strong as he used to be, what with his three years of slacking from his training, but that is a story for another time. The way he stands today is with another exploration team from the before time, known as the demons of time. They tricked Fox to go to a forest, and they froze him with a stun seed, and left him in that condition for many many years. Because he was stunned, he did not age at all, he was frozen in time. Three years ago I awoke him from his eternal time prison, and I was the first ever pokemon to join under Fox's wing. Now here we are today, still not taking rewards."

"Why is this, though? Why won't he take rewards?"

"I don't know his reasonings behind that, im afraid. It might have something to do with the fact that he believes that saving the pokemon and getting their thanks is reward enough, but who knows with Fox! Haha!" Zap said finishing with a laugh as he walked off and directed Kaze to move some thign saround inside the base, as they needed to make some more room in case Fox did find someone to join the team.

"A great fire burns within you...far greater than most fire type pokemon...close enough to even the legendary Moltres..." A voice said to Fox as he walked through the slums, it was a familliar voice...it was that Arcanine that told him to obtain will-o-wisp a day ago. What did he want?

"And you can see this, or sense this about me?"

"Not just me...most fire types can...being an Arcanine, I am already with the knowledge of sensing the strength of a pokemons inner fire, but for others, it takes years of training and patience in order to learn how to sense the inner fires. And with this training strengthenes your own fire."

"Is this some kind of get up to try and get you to teach me how to sense inner fires?"

"No...for I believe that you already can sesne inner fires, and if you can't...then obviously you aren't focusing hard enough."

"So what is your point, then? Why bring my power to attention?"

"Heh...I believe that your inner power has a concience of its own, this is why im bringing this to your attention. This power in side of yuo...when it is released to its full extent...you shall become a new being. It is almost as if you have a Moltres fire, instead of a ninetailes fire within you..."

"How do you know a moltres' fire from anyhting else?"

"When you learn skills from a certain pokemon, you tend to remember certain things about that certain pokemon. I wish you luck with controlling that power, dear ninetails...remember not to let it consume you and cloud your mind. Coexist with it...remember that."

Fox shrugged off what the strange Arcanine said as he exited the slums and walked into the city part of the NeoT.

OOC: Pfft, I forgot to put some things in my character list again. >_> Anyway... RP post quicky.

Karasu and Lighty were distanced properly at the bit-wrecked road caused by the Dokon Dan. The duel involved a simple one-move hit.

Roze was already in position for healing purposes.

After a few moments...

"BULLET SPEAR!"

"...Bullet Spear."

As both the Scizor and Jolteon positioned their own Bullet Spear, they hit each other simoltaneously with that one move. They pass through each other (visually) after performing the move, and both of them land the ground without any reactions just yet. After a few moments though, both Karasu and Lighty were forced to bend one knee as both have been hit largely by each others' Bullet Spears.

Roze then rushes to both of them to see the conditions of their physical health. It seems like small wounds have been made, and Roze was quick enough to tape on a healing band on both Karasu and Lighty quick enough.

"...heh, you're good!"

"It's inevitably a strong Bullet Spear." Karasu replies.

"I'm surprised how one such as yourself could even pull off a Bullet Spear better than I can!"

"...ah. Now I realize something. You are one of those who have been entrusted with the true move of the Bullet Spear... I practiced Bullet Spear with a few modifications to fit my own style, thus I think... mine is the one that is right enough to be called Bullet Spear 2." Karasu confirms.

"...! If indeed you then based it off from our lineage... then I have no objections to it, you have the right to call it a Bullet Spear of your own! Of course the original one stays with us, so you'll have to stick with Bullet Spear 2 as a name!"

"...and I knew we'd be reaching an agreement after some time." Karasu concludes.

Later, Raulant Umirai the Lanturn, squad 13's captain, goes in the scene.

"What happened here...? Oh, and obviously I would find Mirage in this place!"
Raulant first wonders, then he spots Karasu later on.

"Oh, Umirai. Good to see you, what brings you here?" Karasu asks Raulant.

Conversation: Raulant, Karasu, Roze, Akvmovat, Lighty
Raulant: "I just happened to be passing by, just a daily walk around town. Actually I shouldn't be out of the water... but the recent events have brought attention."
Karasu: "Indeed, it seems as if the... Dokon Dan, was it... attacked 2 times in this same day already."
Raulant: "So I heard. They are new, yet they are large in number. We should monitor the situation as the town seems to be their main target...
...oh, if it isn't Roze and Akvmovat!"
Roze: "Hi, top one!"
Akvmovat: "Ah, good to see you, school's prodigy. Seems like you've gotten yourself a very worthy position considering your ace-ness."
Raulant: "Ahaha, Akvmovat, no need to consider myself as the school's legend anymore -- it's been too long a past anyway."
Roze: "I never expected you to pop up again in my sightings! Anyway, it seems as if you're a captain too?"
Raulant: "Yes Roze. I am officially Captain Umirai, Poketei 13's Squad 13 Captain."
Akvmovat: "Still showing that very positive part about you, eh?"
Karasu: "...ahaha, seems as if a few people still know Raulant and his very happy past, eh?"
Lighty: "...and you people are ignoring me, haha!"
Raulant: "Lighty. I was just talking to them :\ They have a lot more questions for me as they have not seen me in a long time."
Lighty: "Hey, we're still affiliates, so I don't mind! Anyway...! This is some sudden re-union we seem to be having!"
Karasu: "...ah. I would like to take this opportunity to bring up a discussion. Please, let's proceed back inside the bar, shall we?"

All 5 of them then walk into the bar. Karasu hand-signalled the bartender to clear away the other customers and privatize the main table. This then happened -- only the 5 of them were left in the main table.

Conversation: Lighty, Akvmovat, Roze, Karasu, Raulant
Karasu: "I welcome all of you. It comes to my attention that each and every one of us is part of a different group. I would like to take this opportunity to discuss about the sudden rise in criminal acts around the town."
Lighty: "It's fairly obvious! The previous week has been very catastrophic for the town!"
Karasu: "Since many of us scout the area frequently, it may seem that the light of the situation is slowly revealing itself. Today we find ourselves being attacked by a certain group: Dokon Dan. It may not be related, but do you think the increasing number of rogues have to do with their presence?"
Raulant: "...are you suggesting that the rogues are caused by the Dokon Dan themselves?"
Karasu: "It's what I have in mind right now. I can come to no other conclusion as they mirror each others' personalities and other things. If the Dokon Dan is a big syndicate than usual, who knows what will happen to the town..."

Roko happened to be crossing the bar too. Since Captain Roko Kyukon, Ninetales, had a very strong sense, he butts in and sits beside the discussion.

Conversation: Same + Roko

Roko: "Hm, judging by the age of our information about them, it is then safe to assume that there is something up with them, and we must not underestimate."
Roze: "...I recognize you. Squad 5 Captain, Roko Kyukon."
Karasu: "You're right, Kyukon. The recent increase in crime rate is too much for standard recession, and the appearance of the Dokon Dan may be one of the things that will lead us to the entire situation. To confirm, we will need to gather as much information as we have about the Dokon Dan as much as possible."
Akvmovat: "And eventually we'll get to the bottom of things. I like that."
Lighty: "This could mean bad business for me, yes! Though I'm pretty positive something's gonna come up for our side of the town!"
Raulant: "Hm, it's fortunate that you can still look at it that way, Lighty."
Roze: "But I think we have very insufficient data. Too insufficient, even. Where do we start, or what the hell do we do with what we have now? (OOC: OMG w's.)"
Karasu: "Exactly. Gather info. Seeing as how quick they just recovered, they could attack any place of the town at almost any time."
Roko: "I was the one who took care of them the first time Mirage...
...actually, another being was there. Under the name of ex-captain Tohno."
Akvmovat: "...?! Akiha..."
Karasu: "...oh? She's still alive, I'm surprised. She might be living a different life now -- as long as she won't disturb us, I won't pursuit her..."
Roko: "Anyway, the many groups that are on the move to protect this town is numerous enough to at least gather some data. Plus, the Trinity Inc. is in the center to record everything that's happening."
Karasu: "I could also infer that the Dokon Dan somehow has their goals set on taking over the Trinity Inc., too. We may have to prioritize that place."

Ren Torar, Luxray, Squad 6 Vice-Captain, happens to cross the bar as well. But he didn't join in the conference -- he just eavesdropped.

Conversation continues
Roko: "I have stationed myself there numerous times as I'm doing an investiagion there. I don't need to prioritize it any further."
Roze: "I would like to bring attention that the Trinity Inc. has many entranceways in different mediums."
Karasu: "Affirmative on that. Second conclusion... it comes to my attention that they attack the more populated parts of the town."
Lighty: "Fortunately I'm not too long enough in wandering around, anyway!"
Raulant: "That's not the point! Anyway, Mirage and Kyukon, your intentions, please."

The discussion went on for quite a time.

...yes, this is my idea of 'quicky'. Haha.

OOC: It's odd how we usually want healers who weren't meant to be. Look, my healer is a Floatzel, lol.

I'll RP post maybe later.

OOC: I could imagine the next scene of mine happening, I just can't put them into words. Haha.

As the discussion inside the bar went on, other entities finally arrived outside.

"...Lieutenant Torar? What are you doing here?" Byakune asks Ren who was eavesdropping from outside the place.

"...! Captain! I... it was just an interesting conversation." replies Ren the Luxray hesitantly.

"You better be going back now, night approaches."

Byakune, Sparchu, Razen, and Ren take one last look inside the bar. They were surprised to find a lot of familiar faces in there, as the meeting has also just come to a close.

"...ah, and I find a lot of you here."

"...! Roze, don't tell me you've been spending ti~"

"Relax, commander! I never bought anything, anyway!"

"...Byakune. You're right, we're heading back to the Teigon now." says KArasu the Scizor (Squad 8 Captain)

As all entities there head out and walk towards the outskirts (in the same direction).

Conversation: Roze, Sparchu, Byakune, Lighty, Ren, Karasu, Raulant, Akvmovat, Roko, Razen
Byakune: "...I understand then. Seems like while I was out, something was happening in the town. I felt the heaviness of the spirits, too."
Roze: "We were so worried, commander -- you were oversleeping too long."
Sparchu: "You wouldn't think such an action would really incapacitate me for too long?"
Roze: "...of course not commander."
Ren: "Something's incredibly wrong, Captain. I'm pretty sure I scouted my part thoroughly, yet I have not yet seen the carnage that's been happening."
Lighty: "...*sweatdrop* Gah...! Can't we move a little bit faster...?!"
Karasu: "...really, stop being too much in a hurry."
Lighty: I'm trying my best...! To be patient... patient... patient...! *thumpthump*
...ARGH! I can't take it anymore! Get away from me, Pokétei 13 members! Just get away!"
Raulant: "...?"
Karasu: "..."
Lighty: "...stop... stop staring at me like that! Argh...! Agh!"
Byakune: "...*pokes* Lighty Eon! Quit your whining. I shall never spread that word anyway, and that thing you're worried about is safe with me -- so please just calm down before anything else happens to you..."
Lighty: "I... I can't! You Skitty there...! Don't you understa~ *oh!* ...yes, as you then wish!"
Karasu: "...hm?"
Raulant: "...odd, how come Byakune immediately gets to shut up Lighty that fast?"
Roze: "...yes, I did see you eavesdropping, Ren."
Ren: "...! Oh... it's so embarassing, stop pointing it out..."
After much further walking...
Byakune: "...ah. Seems as if this is the fork where we'll be going seperately, then."
Sparchu: "Bye everyone! Take care now! Roze, let's get to the base immediately! *runs*"
Roze: "...! Hey, no fair commander! Wait up! *runs*"
Akvmovat: "It was nice having a conversation with you captains. I hope we'll be able to reach an extent of understanding in the near future."
Karasu: "I never imagined to see a Heracross with such intelligence as yours. I commend your progress. Keep it up. Farewell, then."
Akvmovat: "... ... hey wait a minute. How did you know I was going to split here, too?"
Byakune: "...I apologize but I know what faction you are from, Akvmovat. So please just leave now."

After some time, only the Pokétei 13 members were walking. Night time then arrived.

OOC: I really can't put my stuff into words... I'm pretty sure I still have more in mind than this!

OOC: Bumpage.

Somewhere unknown...

"...two assaults in one day, both proven to be almost insignificant!"

"...we're deeply sorry Dokon-sama! It was just a first attempt!"

"Nya~ Who knew that Pokétei 13 would be approaching us at the first sign, anyway?!"

"...It seems as if someone got careless..."

"...! It's... the three bosses... hey, as they said, it's only the first attempt...! Please!"

"Dokon! I will not think it would be necessary that we would be directly on the action of this! If what I then heard is true... then your first target will be all the opposing 'legendary' teams, and drag along the Pokétei 13 down with them! After that, the area could be clear and the procedure is slowly progressing."

"...Oh, Agnome..."

"...I'm not being harsh! I'm just being straightforward, Emrit! Isn't that what we all want right now...?"

"...I'm not feeling this right, Agnome... see, even if we're this many... we may still be outnumbered... you saw the events of 4 years ago, right?"

"...If I may, Agnome and Emrit. It was because we weren't there. That stupid wretch of a god compeltely forgot about us."

"...Eiyux? It's not like you to speak such ill of Arceus..."

"...you must know I'm considerate of what I say, Agnome. If I say someone's a jerk, someone is truly a jerk. Why do you think that 'god' lost?!"

"...Please, sirs and ma'am! Don't argue in front of us...!"

"Dokon-sama, we don't understand a thing anyway!"

"It's better that you do not understand, Botan. I've been hearing of everything behind what the three bosses are talking about..."

"....fine then Dokon! I advise you to reorganize yourselves, plan out accordingly, and DON'T disappoint us next time!"

"Yes Sir Agnome... we'll stall them out next time! Botan! Nyanki! Out of this place!"

"...I think you're being too direct, Agnome..."

"...I think we're not going to get anywhere if we keep doubting each other. Agnome and Emrit, we should continue the arrangements..."

"Alright, Eiyux. Your call on this one."

Tailwind base.

"...Haaaah...! Got some useful notes, yes."

"Let me see what you got...

...

...! This is bad..."

"Ah, both of you are back. Yup, nothing going here in the base lately."

"...get these notes away from me, take them Roze. Get back to your rooms immediately, I don't want to hink any further..."

"...OK..."

"...whatever you say."

All 3 of them proceed to their own rooms.

In some far away island...

"...did you just feel that?"

"Their continuing to sprout, one by one..."

"This is exactly as planned. It's a good thing I got all of you to round up before this unfortunate event happens..."

"Hm, then waking up forcefully was quite worthwhile, then."

"...seems as if my job still isn't done... or was it overdone?"

"For this night, we will leave out the Tailwind base. Scatter yourselves around the area without touching Tailwind base, it seems to be the most inactive central point right now."

"...alright, will do."

"...I'm flying."

"...I get to watch from below."

"I'll navigate the borders..."

Meanwhile in Squad 6 quarters, an insomniac Byakune was a bit panicking.

"...where... where...?!"

"...captain... keep it down... zzzz..." Ren was snoring so loud.

"...Senbon. Damn it. Senbon... where the hell are you..."

Back at Tailwind base, inside Sparchu's room.

"Looks like it's time to brave ourselves again. After 4 years, it happens once more. This time, it's my lead on this one..."

Sparchu continus to worry about stuff when suddenly later he spots a familiar looking sword just beside his bed. He approaches it and examines it, and he recognizes it to be Byakune's Zanpaku-to, KuroSenbonzakura. After much pondering of what it was doing here, the sword suddenly transformed into a Cherrim.

"Hi... Sparchu..." Senbon said.

"...?! Uh... is that...? What...?"

"Don't be startled... I don't want you worrying like this, eh?" Senbon was clearly awake, and from her voice, she had an obvious bad intention.

"Wha... what are you... what do you want from me?! I... I can't just attack you out of the blue...!"

"Oh, but I mean no harm... I was just here to do something..."

"...what is that 'something'?! I advise that you shouldn't really be here! Byakune was careless enough to leave you here!"

"...I came here on my own intention... I'm still a Pokémon you know..." Senbon said, and her voice got more seductive. She continues to come close to Sparchu, while Sparchu keeps on backing off. Eventually, Sparchu trips over his bed and from it, he's now laid on his bed.

"...exactly."

"...hey... what...?! Stop... stop!"

"...as I said, I mean no harm... so keep quiet."

"I won't allow for this foolishness...! Release my feet from your spell this instance!"

"...poor boy, you do realize that you can't attack as well..."

"...! My... hey!"

"...so just submit yourself!"

"W-...what the!"

The Cherrim named Senbon suddenly jumps over Sparchu's body and a large cage of petals enclosed both of them on top of the bed. Who knows what happened there anyway, but it can be assumed that Sparchu was molested.

After some time, the cage of petals finally opened. Sparchu was weakened and still laid (OOC: Lying isn't the correct word, see...) there. Senbon takes one last glance at him before jumping off.

"...good night."

With that done, Senbon jumps out the window and disappears with the wind.

Sparchu, on the other hand, was still panting. He tried his best to forget what just happened and attempted to sleep. But all that was halted when he suddenly noticed one peculiar petal fall down from somewhere. He examined this petal, and he found it to be of the color black, blue, and red, instead of pink. With the many things that Sparchu is already thinking, he already came to the conclusion that...

"...! *gasp* I... I've been...

...I've been... molested... by a... primal...

...this...

...this can't be happening..."

As Sparchu continues to panic silently, his mind automatically recalls all the events from 4 years ago involving the incident. All events still scare him to this very day, and continus to haunt his entireity. Eventually he couldn't handle this pressure, and after too much panting, he eventually falls to the floor, fainted. (OOC: Yes, it's weird. He's laid on the bed but he still falls there.)

Zangetsu was just almost asleep, and he suddenly felt the disappearance of the spiritual pressure from Sparchu's room. This alerted him as he immediately got up and went for Sparchu's door. It was locked. Since Zangetsu had a very bad feeling on this, he continuously slams the door until it finally gave in. Running inside, all he found was the Pikachu's fainted body.

"...! Whatever happened here...?

...no blood, no carnage, not too much... but definitely I felt another entity come through here. That must be why Sparchu is like this...

...well, I could at least position commander properly on the bed..."

Zangetsu fixes up the room and properly carries and positions Sparchu on the bed to be of normal sleeping position. The Lucario then returns to his own room for his own sleep.

OOC: Grr, I forgot what I was supposed to do after that. Also, yellow looks better on the Neo Blue background, while FFD000 will be on the Neo hite background...

Fox couldn't get the words of that Arcanine out of his head after roaming around the NeoT for so long. He eventually got bored of the constant noise from inside and outside of his head, that he decided to go into the nearby forest, noticing that this was the forest that Zap,Zeni, and Kaze had gone to for the training mission...something didn't feel right here...

With this feeling of chaos, Fox tried to focus on it, and every single noise creeped him out a bit, drawing his focus in so many directions. Suddenly, a large group of Scyther and Pinsir emerged from the forest and into the clearing that Fox was in, surrounding him easily, but also giving him some space. Two more pokemon, A slightly larger Pinsir and Scyther, emerged from above Fox and landed infront of him. Obviously the leaders of these two pokemon clans. the pinsir looked like it was going to speak, but the Scyther held a scyth infront of it, and then spoke. Obviously the scyther was more dominant in these two clans. Just great...

"We know who you are...you are the leader of those three pokemon...The minun, kadabra, and the squirtle. I would tell you to leave, but I don't plan on letting you leave...alive, that is!"

"Look...*sigh* whatever my team mates did, I deeply apologize for whatever they did, but you can't honestly think that I should be the one to blame for their actions and--"

"Lies!" The pinsir shouted out. "You are the team leader! You hold responsibility over your teammates even when you aren't around for their mistakes. Grow up! Oh, wait, you can't do that anymore since you wont be living much further!" The pinsir followed this little speech with a cackle, which was then echoed by all of the Scyther and Pinsir, except for the leader Scyther.

"Heh...you really think you all can beat me though? You are all bugs, while I am fire. I have the advantage here. and don't bother bringing up your numbers...numbers mean nothing to a pokemon who has cheated death before. You may know who I am, but do you really know what I am capable of?"

"We shall see the end result then, ninetails!" The pinsir shouted, jumping toward Fox, while the other pinsir and scyther ran in to attack, while the leader Scyther jumped into a nearby tree and watched.

Fox smirked as the pokemon jumped toward him. He summoned up a fire spin around himself, creating a fire collumn like in that one battle where he was alongside Sparchu. Many of the pinsir and scyther bounced into the fire spin and then bounced off in flames, or actually got through the fire spin, but unable to take the pressure building up inside of the fire spin, ran out. Luckily for Fox they only jumped at him in pairs or in threes, otherwise he would be doomed, but so would they, he guessed. Eventually, the leader Pinsir made it to the Fire spin, jumped right in, and stayed inside of the Collumn, staring at Fox intently. Fox took a small step backward, and then fired a will-o-wisp from his mouth at the Pinsir, not being able to dodge it from the pressure slowly building inside of the fire, and because he was in quite a bit of pain. The blue fire dissolved into the leader Pinsir, and then more flames errupted from various places on the Pinsir. He cryed out in pain as he fell to his knees, and the oncomming pokemon stopped trying to jump in. Fox let down the fire spin collumn, and then threw a heal seed to the pinsir, who gobbled it up as quickly as possible, and then fainted. One other pinsir emerged forth form the onlooking crowd, and then rushed over to the leader pinsir.

"Is...is he d-dead?!"

"There is a difference between death and fainted. A revivier seed should bring him back to his normal self, or a good nights long rest."

"You have more class than I thought you did, ninetails. But what your partners did is still unforgivable, and you must pay the price. Seeing as our onslaught could not defeat you, a simple one on one match will have to decide if you have payed back your due or not." The leader scyther said as he emerged from the trees. However, he did not go directly to fox, he ran away...kind of. After a short while, the leader scyther came back a new pokemon, a newly evolved Scizor.

"I take it you are my opponent, then?"

"I promised myself that I would only use this as a last resort, and I am ashamed that it had to be by a mere pokemon, and not a cause, that I had to evolve myself. I just hope that destroying my future like this will be worth it..."

"What do you mean?" fox questioned, feeling something isnide of him...growing. again, something wasn't right, but this time it was with him. And why was this starting now, of all times? Was it the scizor that sparked the 'great energy' the Arcanine was talking about? No...That Arcanine was speaking crazy...nothing exists within him...hopefully not, atleast.

A scyther stepped forward and spoke. "This is a scyther only clan. By evolving, our leader is now forcing himself out of our clan, but due to rules, he is allowed to stay for atleast one last fight along side the clan. the evolution process of a scyther in this clan is known as the last resort, where we remove ourselves from the clan to use the power of the evolved Scizor to take down the powerful foe that caused us to resort to the last resort. You should be glad you are the current cause of our leader, of all scyther, to have gone into last resort."

"Alright then...you may have the first move, Scizor. Make it count, though." Fox said, planting his paws into the ground, ready for just about anything.

"Ominous Wind!" scizor shouted raising his claws into the air, and a large gust of wind protudes forth from somewhere else, as it grows harder and harder, causing the wind to cut into Fox as he winces in pain, trying to bear with it, and then after the wind had gone, Scizor glowed for a few seconds, and then lowered his claws down, staring at fox, awaiting his next move. Fox shot a will-o-wisp form his mouth at the scizor, but just as it got close to him, the scizor dissapeared from sight, and the reappeared right infront of Fox, readying a claw to strike.

"Flase Swipe!" Scizor shouted, rushing his claw past Fox, cutting Fox down to one hp, and down to the ground as Fox's legs gave out, and the feeling inside of him grew even stronger...stronger than Fox thought it would.

"Leader, sir, why use false swipe? That leaves him alive! Kill him!" A scyther said, followed by the cheers of the scythers and pinsirs.

"Shut up! All of you! You can sense it, can't you!? Or is it just my Scizor senses that can...either way, I want to see a full force from this pokemon, and that can only be attained this way! Show your true power, Ninetails! show us that fire inside!"

Fox could hear his own heartbeat...it was slow...but then he felt another heartbeat...one that wasn't his. Fox looked around, his was in a black space, and where he stood in this black space, it acted like he was standing on water, ripples originating from Fox went out in wave underneathe him.

"Come to me, hidden power! I need you!" Fox cired out, even though no sound came out, only the words formed on his mouth.

Suddenly, two bright fires emerged from underneath Fox and envoloped him, a voice rang out alongside of the flames.

"I found you!" The fire formed into the claws, and pulled Fox underneathe the water he was apparently standing on.

Back in reality, all of the pokemon backed up, and even Scizor took a few steps backward as the sight of Fox slowly standing up, and his eyes turning pure black, staring directly at Scizor. This new Fox let out a howl into the sky, and then exerted all of the pressure aorund him, creating a pulsation that rushed through the open field area of the forest. Any pokemon not holding their ground was actually pushed back by this force of power. another howl was let into the sky, but this time Fox's fure caught fire, leaving him to become a ninetails made of fire, and his black eyes glowed from beneath the fire such that you could see them, even through the burning and waving fire.

"This...this is no hidden power! This is an entity all its own! You...who are you?" the scizor called out to the ninetails from hell.

"Heh...You musn't know my true name, but you may call me Phoenix."

With that, Phoenix summoned up a fire from within himself and shot it out at Scizor. This fire was different though, it was faster, and more violent than Fox's fire. It was even so fast that scizors great speed wasn't able to dodge this. the fire engulfed Scizor, and Phoenix walked toward the scizor, still breathing the fire, until Fox was standing above where the Scizor was presumably melting to death, still breathing that violent and dstructive fire on him. The other pokemon, sensing the distress of the situation, attempted to attack and stop Phoenix, but their efforts were furitless as another pulsation exerted itself from Phoenix, knocking the pokemon who dared get close to him back and knocked them out cold. Phoenix finally stopped the fire, and then when the smoke cleared, the scizor layed there, surrounded by a protect shield, although the scizor was fainted, using all of its energy to keep the protect shield up during the onslaught of fire from Phoenix.

Finally, the fire began to die away on Fox's body, his eyes reverted back to normal, and he fell to the ground. The leader Pinsir awoke from his fainted condition, and then ran up to both Fox and Scizor.

"We need to get these two to Neo Treasure Town...they need serious medical tratment!"

OOC: Help. My fandom is telling me to purify Mesprit already. :\ This shouldn't be happening.

Up in the sky, a Togekiss was still unable to sleep. This Togekiss happened to be Squad 9's Captain, Beoruve Ranza.

"...I never seem to get tired... why?" obviously Beoruve was trying to fall asleep.

"Captain! Are you sure you're still staying up?" a particular Hitmontop asked, which happens to be the Vice-Captain of Squad 9.

"...I thought I already told you to clear the area already... please, just get back inside..." Beoruve replied. With a direct statement, the Hitmontop immediately went back inside the quarters of Squad 9.

While still flying, Beoruve happened to bump a certain Salamence who was also flying in the same area.

"...?! What are you doing here...? Who are you...?" Beoruve immediately asks.

"...I! I accidentally happened to bump someone! I deeply apologize, but I'm just crossing." the Salamence replied.

"If you're new around these parts, then I must inform you that you have already crossed the Pokétei 13 boundaries..." Beoruve informs the Salamence.

"...oh? Is that so, I apologize then~...! Wait, Pokétei 13 you say?! Then... I have a short favor. Please just give this small paper to the captain of Squad 12, please. Thank you, and I am sorry again. I will leave." the Salamence then leaves, leaving the Togekiss to hold the piece of paper that the Salamence handed over. Beoruve then read it.

@Razen Faya:

"I'm still watching."

~Tiamat Ria

"...what is this all about... anyway, I'm giving it tomorrow." Beoruve thinks, then he continues to fly over the skies, when in particular he suddenly notices something in the forest. It was already black, as if burnt. After much analyzation, it was as if a fire had already ended there. Startled, Beoruve immediately roosted back to his quarters to inform the others, when he saw the members of Squad 4 below already making their move.

"...that's a relief. The healing squad is so fast on this...

...this concern is making me sleepy." with that, Beoruve retreated to Squad 9's quarters to finally fall asleep.

Back at Tailwind base, Sparchu eventually got at least his consciousness back and his faintness became sleep. He was still haunted in the dream though -- it was Ichimaru in the dream world again.

"...I'm here again."

"Did you sense it Kanpi? How much it's already going near you..."

"...Ichimaru~...! You're here again... what are you talking about this time?!"

"How much of those same petals would you like to see...?"

"...! No... no more!"

"...that's fine then, I'll have to just stab you again anyway."

"...what?! Hey... I still can't move, even inside this dream!"

"Well too bad, find a way to move. Shoot 'em dead, Shinso."

"Wah!"

The dream sequence ended just like that, leaving Sparchu in the darkness of sleep instead of having a nice dream.

Somewhere at the sea...

"...! How... how was that possible? I'm pretty sure that... there was no activity there."

"Madam... everyone makes mistakes... or there's something else interfering with us. The primals just sprout out of nowhere, you won't expect them..."

"Tailwind base... I thought it was pure from hollows...

...wait, how about the spirit that emerged in the forest?"

"...I apologize but I don't know the spirit. It doesn't seem to be a primal and hollow, neither is it a dead one... it just radiated so much power that we can feel it from here."

"...fine, continue the route that you were supposed to take."

"...now I'm really getting scared. I've patrolled the area, and it's as if everything already happened before we got there! There's nothing happening now, it would be useless to patrol any further..."

"...I couldn't even travel in stealth, what is this? Has the surface turned so evil now that even I can't hide in it?"

"This is getting out of hand... looks like we have to awake earlier than usual, and reveal ourselves to the world... alright, everyone go to sleep. Now. We'll leap back to Fullmoon Island immediately..."

OOC: ...damn, I'm pretty sure I already had plans for the next morning.

OOC: Zek, toward the end of your post, in the aqua text, it talks about the spirit in the forest, is that Phoenix you are talking about? No plans or anyhting, just curious.

---

Fox slowly opened his eyes, blinked a few times, and then focused his vision, he was inside of the same field in the forest as he had been, only he was surrounded by more than just scyther and pinsir, and his opponent Scizor. There were more pokemon, apparently a team of healer pokemon. What had happened...?

"Oh, good, he is awake!" One of the healers shouted to the others who were taking a look at the body of the already awakened Scizor. He ran over to Fox aswell as the other healer pokemon.

"What happened...? I remember...fighting Scizor, loosing the battle...something about a black space, and then...fire."

"When I evolved into this form, I noticed a deeper power inside of you, and to make my evolution worht while, I drew out that power...to my own almost demise, apparently. Once I got you down to your lowest point of life, that hidden power within you emerged, revealling itself to be it's own entity, who said 'You may not know my name, but you may call me Phoenix'. That is all it said, too, which was quite the scary part...especially its voice."

Scizor went on to describe the events of what happened as best he could to both Fox and the healing squad pokemon. During the explination, Fox looked over the Scizor's shoulder to see the shadow of a pokemon looking from behind a tree, and then rushing back into the forest. It was that Arcanine...Fox could sense the inner fire from that far away...his power had increased some after reverting into that form...but at what cost?

"So he was right then..." fox mumbled to himself after Scizor had finished. One of the squad pokemon questioned about who 'he' was, and what 'he' was right about. However, Fox shrugged the pokemon off and then took a few steps toward the path to Epitaph HQ. "Thank you for the battle, Scizor, and thank you for saving me, healing squad. Scizor...if you need a place to go, my team is always open for recruits. Think it over."

And with that, Fox dashed off at a pretty good speed back to his team base, but slower than normal due to him still being fatigued.

OOC:
EDIT2: Um, Hybrid, I mistakenly put Hanayama in Reserve Unit in the character list.. Where should I place her? :\

@DW1: Yes, that's what the entities sensed.
@Hybrid: Lol, I'm expecting a released-form fight anytime, haha.

It was still early in the dusk, and the Captain of Squad 9, Beoruve Ranza, already was awake. Since last night, he couldn't sleep for some odd reason. With nothing in mind, he immediately flew out of the Teigon and onwards to the DPARI to deliver the short letter to Razen. Once he got there to Razen's window, the lights were still open. So Beoruve quickly just slipped the small paper through the window, which Razen noticed. After Razen looks out of the window, seeing the Togekiss, Beoruve then flies away.

"...it looks like a note."

Razen then picks up the small piece of paper to read the contents.

"...

...?! It...

...is this...?"

Razen suddenly got all panicky, and thus the Flygon halted his current experiment and immediately ran to the storage room.

"...handwriting analysis... checking..."

Razen got another piece of paper to the storage room and compared the two. It then concluded that it was authentic.

Razen then ran off back to his laboratory for carbon-dating of the paper. It had no signs of much contamination, and the paper doesn't date back to more than a week.

"...if... if this is true... that... this was written just recently...?!

...no, but you're already dead... I still don't believe..."

Razen just suddenly set aside the piece of paper and continued on with his experiment.

Back at the Teigon, at Squad 4's headquarters.

"...quantity of injuries?" the captain, Lekisima Eneko, asks her lieutenant (a Blissey).

"Not much ma'am, only 2 were hurt, but they were both severe. Both cases involve high-degree burns in the entire body..." was the reply of the Blissey.

"Since it's only a few, I assume that you've taken care of things already... alright, it's really disturbing having to wake up too early, but anyway, we should start warming up already so that we're ready by 7." Lekisima replies. After everyone in Squad 4 has already retreated to their own chambers, Squad 6 Captain Byakune Eneko happened to enter.

"Were you able to get to the scene...?" the Skitty captain inquires.

"No I haven't... it's too early in the dusk too even get up and out of this place..." the Delcatty replies.

"...unlucky, I wanted a report on the event, but anyway... I'm pretty sure you felt that pressure too?"

"It was so strong, how could I not feel it?"

"...Lekisima, if chance happens, you must go retreat back to Flariao and hide with him again... I think that era is coming back..."

"...you're underestimating me too much, Byakune. It doesn't matter if you're stronger than me, I can fight too..."

"...I guess I got too traumatized by the story you told me back then. It's your choice, but I'm not always there to save the day for anyone... so Lekisima, I will pray upon Senbon for your safety. Good day."

With that, Byakune leaves the quarters and back to the town, so early.

Now morning came.

OOC: ...and this particular Zekira doesn't know what happens next.
