OOC: First off, I just lost the file for the character list so I'll have to recover it back from scratch first before I can update the character list again.

Second, those re-explanations of yours reminded me of a really big thing with one of my characters, Hybrid. Also, if you've noticed, I'm making both primal and hollow synonymous (just that colors differ lol).

Just early in the morning, Lighty had Vanguachu manage the shop for a while since the Mercenary Business was on day-off anyway. Lighty was already wandering around the deeper parts of the town, deeper and deeper into the slums.

"...wait a minute, how the hell did I get here?!"

It was as if Lighty wasn't in control of himself. It was either his sleepiness took him there, or something else. After coming back to reality, Lighty realized that he was in some sort of cursed area around the town... it had the stench of the graveyard, and the chill of the underworld. This place does not have a name, for many have not even dared go too deep in the slums. But sometimes these are the frequent homes of only the most brutal of rogues and it was rumored that some of these Pokémon are infested and/or undead.

"...with this thick fog... I can't see a darn thing! Getting out of here would be almost impossible! It's a good thing I'm used to the graveyard, or I'll be fainting prematurely!"

Lighty continues to wander uselessly around the place. After some time, after his strength was taking him to his limits, another entity happened to appear near him.

"...Lighty... Eon... traitor..." the faded entity seemed to have said. This obviously got the Jolteon's attention and looked around for where the voice came from.

"...kill... now..."

"...!"

"Not... forgive... ever... Lighty... what did you do... to me..."

"I wouldn't respond a thing, so just come out you nimbwit!"

Indeed as expected the entity revealed itself. It was an Eevee alright, but there was something wrong. It seemed to have the stench of the dead, and it had shades of white, red, and blue.

"What's wrong... why are you still here...? Will you finally make amends... after all this time...! Then let me proceed...!"

The abnormal Eevee's eyes suddenly shone red, and even more abnormal Pokémon came out, surrounding Lighty completely.

"...now I remember that voice! You, Vivue Kanpi, the most vengeful spirit of the Kamiki Village!"

"...it's not only me, Lighty... all of them... blame you... for you are truly at fault..." said the Eevee, then other voices from the other abnormal entities came echoing through Lighty's head.

"You left... us... not keeping us safe..."

"It's your fault... you never... shared... you never approached... you never even tried to protect..."

"...where were you, Lighty...?! Where were you...! Shout... shout! I want to... know... WHY!"

"It's all your blame... go to hell... sinner... traitor!"

Lighty was getting stiff with all the voices that are echoing, as some of his memories are made clear.

"...*sweatdrop* Gah! But I indeed told you! Told all of you! 9 years before the plague! I told everyone, LEAVE! But no, most of you never followed! Only 6 of us believed the great calling for escape by the spirit god! All of you here now, you approach me with the whole defiance you've already given me! Now you tell me who should have the ears!"

"...didn't you say back then... that you... would save the entire village...?! Then why didn't you stay and fight for us...?!"

"...stop and think, idiot! By putting you away from the village, I am already taking you away from the plague! What are you facing with me right now?! Stop those... stop those primal and hollow spirits shouting at me! Be yourselves and go to sleep!"

"...Lighty... irreasonable... kill..."

"Vanish... sinner..."

"Eradicate... traitor..."

Not only were the surrounding entities abnormal -- they were actually primal entities! They begin to close in on Lighty, still echoing to attempt to breakdown Lighty by haunting him with memories. This indeed was happening to the Jolteon -- slowly and slowly he couldn't take it and he was already crouched and feeling heavy with every echo that he hears. He was in first, fear, then later it was as if he was dying already.

When the abnormal Eevee, Vivue Kanpi, began to slap Lighty around (thus insulting him), Lighty slowly began to give up... until something fell out from his bag. Or maybe, 3 things fell out from his bag.

The first that he saw was a small pendant-necklace. The symbolic opened, and it revealed the picture of a Vaporeon. This then flashed something inside Lighty's head.

quote Flashback

Conversation: Lighty and the Vapreon
V: "Sir Eon... are you sure...?"
Lighty: "...Showers... this promise, I will never break. To protect and forever be loyal to the masses... and especially you! It was you that gave me reason to find more power! I wish for this world... to be the best it could be, all for you! Showers, need not worry! I won't run away in another direction! If indeed you have to stay in the village, it is your choice and I will not force you."
V: "But... Lighty... I'll... I'll...!"
Lighty: "...! Stop... stop your tears. Temper your spirit and believe in yourself.

...no, no! Don't believe in yourself! Believe that I believe in you! Believe that I am still on your side and support and I shall never ever disrespect your decision! Now go, just go! I have to leave soon, and I am sorry but I will not come back anymore!"
V: "...
...Sir Eon..."

"...(Showers...!
What did I say again?! Yes, I promised I would tame the world and maintain it! A promise I gave her, and a promise to her I shall never break! I will get out of here and put these souls to rest!)"

The next item that he saw that fell out from his bag was a neatly farmed Pure Seed which seems to be untouched with its pureness. This reminded him of only one other entity.

quote Flashback

Conversation: Lighty and a Skitty named Nekone
N: "That power, Lighty..."
L: "...no! Nekone, please! Take... take it away from me! I am so troubled...! I am taking the world into darkness with this! Please, Nekone I request of you! Get out of here, I might be the one to kill you...!"
N: "...no! No! Stay put, Lighty!"
L: "...argh...! Agh...! No... Nekone... get away! I'm...
*transforms*...SERIOUS! Didn't I tell you to get away?! For not being of such a listener and oblivious, you would have to be eliminated by my hand!"
"...Assist -- ...
*short blurred up memory*
L: "...ugh... Nekone... kill me. Now... I've been doing this traitoring ever since I left my homeland a long time back... and now it seems like karma is coming back to me... Finish what you came to do, Nekone! Aren't you here to eradicate the darkness?!"
N: "...Lighty... get up and scratch me. Make me bleed!"
L: "...what?! Nekone... don't... don't force yourself to die!"
N: "Lighty, I will not stop at anything just to take away that bad side away from your soul! Look inside yourself -- is this really you?! I bet you're still Lighty, so get hold of yourself! What are you doing, is this how you control your fate?! It's disgusting! If you wish for me to kill you, then I would not -- why would I follow an insolent fool anyway?! Any command that you say, I will not heed! Stand up Lighty, and control!"
L: "N... Nekone... ack... argh... aaaah!"
N: "...feeling much better? Then I'll take you back for a while. We'll talk after you wake up..."

"...(and forever shall I be grateful! Nekone then shone the light back to me, and thus I see what the world really is like! I can't run away again, away with this vengeful spirit of mine! What I do, I do for the world!

They... these undead villagemates of mine... they don't know me one bit! They insult me for what I have done... but they never even tried to hear me out! You're wrong this, you're wrong that! Then I ask to them!)
...do... you even know me...?! You, Vivue, who happened to have approached me first?! Do you even know why I am doing this?!"

"Of course I know why -- you hated us so much that you chose to abandon us!"

Hearing the more annoying reply, Lighty suddenly roared out (quite loudly for a Jolteon), and a short spirit explosion emitted from him, knocking back some of the abnormal primals.

"You... don't... know... me...!"

Lighty picked up the third and last item that dropped from his bag. This item happened to be a White Half-mask with blue and red stripes. He picked it up and carefully wore it in the right side of his face. After wearing it, some of the primals could feel the sudden rush of spirit energy that emitted from the Jolteon. Lighty then eyed all of the primals fiercely.

"...I know I'm being irreasonable, but I think your reasoning has gone too far... now tell me who's the non-listener here..."

Lighty's eyes suddenly shone red, and... let's pan the camera to the sky for a while. We can they say that we are hearing a total carnage on the graveyard-like place that Lighty is in now. After some time, we pan the camera back to Lighty, and there he was standing alone, while the other primal entities were badly wounded and their spirit could be seen being sent back into the underground.

"...begone, you are not worthy for the world anymore..."

From afar, some sort of spirit weapon suddenly shot itself and towards Lighty.

"Begone, primal..." the entity wielding the weapon said. It was a Delcatty with closed eyes -- yes, it was Ichimaru Kororo of the Pokétei 13.

Right now, the sword named Shinso was already pierced through Lighty, stunning him a bit.

"I don't care about anything about you, all I know is that you're spirit must be eliminated from this world!" Ichimaru continues.

"You... you... don't know me!"

Lighty suddenly got himself out of the sword's stab, and while Ichimaru was still retracting his sword, Lighty suddenly rushed over to Ichimaru. After a certain flash, Lighty was already behind the Delcatty. Ichimaru fell on the ground after that, as it seemed that Lighty had attacked him with such speed.

"...good night, have a nice day. Just be sure not to show yourself to me, primal..." Ichimaru replied before suddenly disappearing.

While Lighty was still in that mask of his, a Cherrim suddenly came rushing in and, like what happened to Sparchu last night, enclosed Lighty in a cage of blue and red-striped petals.

"...?! What... what is this!"

"...bring yourself back to your true spirit, Hollow..." the Cherrim said while both were still inside the cage of petals. What was happening inside, still unknown. But after some time, a Skitty came rushing in the scene, saw the cage of petals, and tried to approach. After shouting something and rushing, the Skitty was then suddenly pushed back by a powerful spirit pressure emission.

"...no..." this Skitty was Byakune Eneko, Squad 6 Captain. Byakune then quickly got up and rushed back to the petals, and touched the petal cage. He murmured some words for a while, then suddenly the petal cage burned to ashes and the Cherrim was already disengaged from Lighty. After murmuring some more words, the Cherrim suddenly turned into a katana. The Cherrim was actually Senbon, the soul of Byakune's Zanpaku-to. After it was all done, Byakune ran to Lighty. He could see that Lighty's mask was no longer just half -- it was ready to fill up the entire face of the Jolteon. Byakune quickly was able remove it with his Zanpaku-to and woke up Lighty.

"...! Help... help! Argh! No...!

...huh? I'm still me?! ...someone saved me...! Oh, Captain Byakune!"

"Are you alright, Eon?"

"...help me! I'm... I'm! Turning..."

"...shut up! You're never going to turn one. You weren't declared having 'mystic' battle style for nothing, I'm sure you can control it further. I will be leaving, you should too. Come with me if you want to get out."

Byakune put the mask back inside Lighty's bag, and both proceed to get out of the cursed place.

"...thank you, Captain Eneko! I... I wonder how you got there anyway?!"

"...I just felt your spiritual pressure, that's all.

Goodbye Lighty."

Byakune disappeared with a quick Flash Step, leaving Lighty in the slums again. He got to a corner and inspected the mask that he wore a while ago.

"...can I really control it...?! Is it time for me to use it again...?!

Looks like... history is repeating itself...!"

From afar, Byakune was muttering something to himself.

"...(That Jolteon... he's a primal, I could feel it. But his powers are strong enough to make him regulate it... but if it gets out of hand, he'll, turn full. If prediction is right, the world will go into chaos with primals vs. primals, hollow vs. hollow...
...also, Senbon... I don't want to kill you, but how I can I purify you...?)"

OOC: My hands died. Lol.

"There is only so much you can learn from books, Kaze." Fox said, entering the base only seeing Kaze sitting there reading a book, looking up at fox as he entered the room. "Where are Zeni and Zap?"

Kaze looked past Fox, until Fox eventually turned around to follow Kaze's gaze. Suddenly, it clicked-- They went out. How resourceful this pokemon was.

"It would be easier if you talked."

"And it would be easier if you kept your power levels in check." Said a familliar voice. Fox turned around to see that Arcanine in the doorway. He was surprised to see him outside of the slums, but then again, eh did see him back at the forest. "Fox, you are to come with me for a while, we must train that spiit inside of you, tame it, and then make it your very own power."

"Why do you want this so badly? It seems like you want to use me for your own uses, use me to destroy things and take things you want!"

"A great danger lies ahead in this worlds time, and proper control over Phoenix will make things easier. Fire mountain is where you shall find me next. And until then, I bid you farewell."

Fox gave a sigh and went over to his bed, and slowly drifted to sleep, only to be aokwen after a few minutes by Zap, obviously wanting to know the story of Phoenix and what happened in the forest. Fox was the current headlines in the news of NeoT. Ofcourse, his name wasn't revealled, but a shiny ninetails was no common sight. He wondered if the next time he went into NeoT, he would be feared, attacked, or just simply rejected. Mabey it was a good idea to tame Phoenix. He would decide tomorrow.

Just a while in the morning and Team Tailwind was on their study session instead. The bulletins coming to them were so inactive that they're running out of recreational activities.

"...Sparchu, why are you stressing the books about the primals?"

"It's something unusual Roze, but history repeats itself... we just have to prepare for it. Lately, I'm seeing a lot of it repeat again..." the Pikachu suddenly looks at Zangetsu.

"..

...

...why are you looking at me like that?"

"...nothing. Just get back to reading..."

Back at the Teigon, Byakune slams the door to the quarters and immediately walks to the farthest part of the headquarters.

"Captain...?" Ren the Luxray asks, concerned on Byakune's sudden mood.

"Leave me be, Ren. I have something to do that mustn't be seen by anyone..." Byakune demands, as he slams the backdoor shut and seals it with a Pokédo.

As the Skitty captain walks further outside into the Squad 6's dark field, he unsheaths up his sword and throws it toward the wall. He then suddenly used a ferocious Assist -- Focus Punch on it.

"...what...are... you..."

The sword then transformed into the Cherrim that is Senbon. As Byakune saw this, he immediately punched the Cherrim again, and pinned it down to the ground, pointing his paw at the flower.

"Would it take an infinite amount of hurt to let you know that there is not even one entity that you can take? Will you still persist, knowing that you're spirit is weak?"

"...what are you saying, Byakune?"

"...hm. Bloom and scatter!"

As Byakune said this, the Cherrim's pink petals suddenly scattered and the actual Cherrim disappeared as it burst and covered the current field with flowers. But the body didn't really disappear -- what appeared was a blue and red colored Cherrim.

"So you're the one who's been interfering! You've gone too close, now you're mine!"

Senbon had a primal soul, which now it was revealed. The primal Cherrim then made again its cage of petals and this time enclosed Byakune in it. Without an exit or entrance (Byakune sealed all of them), Byakune has only his own to break free of the incoming curse.

OOC: D: My head spun and I forgot what I was going to type.

After much contemplating, and discussing with Zap and Zeni(as Kaze had nothing to say as usual), Fox finally came to the conclusion that he would go to fire mountain, meet up with Arcanine, and tame Phoenix, the fire spirit that dwells within him. Zap was to be in charge while Fox was away, as usual, but Fox also decided that to be fair, Kaze and Zap were in need of something to take charge of. Kaze would be in charge of productivity, while Zeni would be in charge of recruiting. They seemed to like their jobs, so Fox left it at that and headed out for Fire Mountain, remembering how he got there before, four years ago when he and zap needed to get there to activate their time gear, and take them to the past. However, with technology these days, he could easily get there by taking a tram, or whatever it was called. Before Fox could get far from the base, his body stopped listening to his mind, an stopped moving. Something was holding him...but what?" His head was released of control and Fox managed to turn his head to see Kaze, holding his spoons and gathering energy. Suddenly, a wave of nausia came over Fox, and in the blink of an eye, he was at the base of fire mountain. Kaze used teleport, it seems. After a nod from Kaze, he teleported back, and then left Fox to do the climb up the volcano. However, Fox seemed to get lucky yet again, for he heard his name being whispered to the right of him, and when he looked, he saw that Arcanine beckoning him to follow...what was back there? Fox hurried over to see that Arcanine was infront of a hidden entrance to the lowest part of the volcano...a place Fox had been before, obviously. Mabey this passage would take him to a secret part of the base floor though, a place where he would be able to train and learn to control his spirit? Fox took the long dreaded walk through this secret passage, and he began to sweat as the deeper the tunnel went, the hotter it got. Not to mention the pressure, aswell. very tough conditions this place was in, and it seemed that the Arcanine had no problems with this place at all.

"You must have trained here, huh? You seem so...ugh, calm."

"Yes, I did train here. However, the heat is easy to get used to once you can control your inner fire. A process of blocking all heat away from your body, while still being able to heat your body with your own fire. The pressure though...it always remains the same. I'm just able to hide whatever im feeling, whether it be stress, or emotions. either way, my life is not the purpose here, it's yours."

And with that said, Fox stepped out of the tunnel only to find himself in a somewhat large dome like area, lavafalls flowing here and there down from the ceiling, creating a somewhat lava lake effect in the area, with splotches of useable rock to stand on. The heat was beginning to become unbearable, even with fox trying to repel the heat away from his body like Arcanine said.

"There is another purpose for these conditions...isn't there?"

"Yes. To wear your body down, to give that spirit of yours strength. To determine how I can help you, we will need to see exactly what it is. I can already tell that it isn't a hollow, form the way both you and scizor described the situation of how Phoenix came to be in that area. It seems as if this entity was with you all along, but it needed time to grow its power, and then when it did, I guess it just so happened that you were weak when it had finally gotten enough power to show itself. If you had been more energized than tired out, Im sure you would have been able to repel it from showing itself through your body, but sadly, we cannot change the fact that what happened happened, and its pointless to talk about what could have been."

"So what are the other possibilities...of...ugh, what it can be?"

"I asked myself that very same question not too long ago, and through researching, I've come up with three possibilities. First, Phoenix could be a vengefull spirit of a ninetails who possesed your body while you were in the slums, as you have been there alot recently, and has used your body to its own advantage, in attempts to get revenge on whatever it wants revenge on. Second, Phoenix could be the mannifestation of built up emotions, such as anger and sadness, grief and pain, et cetra. With the kind of build up, and when you were down to your last choice, you let out all of these feelings, causing you to succomb to an illusion while your mind took on a second personality, using these built up emotions as its energy."

"And for the third...?"

"..." Arcanine was hesitating...Fox had never seen this before, even though he didn't know Arcanine very well, he knew that this was out of character for him. "It's not likley, but a possibility none the less. You could be...one of the children."

"'The children'? What's that supposed to mean?"

"The children...they are exactly what the title is, they are the beings that hold the 8 phases, each one having a different element, appearance, everything. The mother of these children is known as Morganna, a being created by Arceus for who knows why. Morganna was also known as the 0th Phase, because as history recalls, Morganna was a spirit, much like Phoenix is, only it actually was the very thing, not the spirit trapped within the body of a pokemon. After its mass destruction of everything in its path, Morganna sked Arceus to erase her from existance, but Arceus could not do such a thing, it was not in the fate that he hoped to plan out. Morganna created another solution, and asked Arceus to seperate her powers into eight different beings, eight different elements, still erasing her from existance, but not really erasing her entity. As to what pokemon were created to hold Morganna's powers, those would be some of the legendary pokemon. Moltres...the very first moltres, was the one created by the power of Fire Morganna. So, if this is truly what you are, then you, Fox, you are a decendant of Moltres...a decendant of Morganna. This would mean that Phoenix's real name is Skeith. The First Phase. She should be able to tell us, though...once she returns."

"Wh..who? Who is 'She'? ...Heatran?"

"No. Moltres."

All of this information rushing to his head began to make Fox dizzy, and with the immense heat and pressure, Fox had fallen unconcious. Could he really be a child of morganna? and if so...who were the other seven?

OOC: Zek, can you add teleport to Kaze's moveset, please? lol.

OOC: Time to do a little quick one.

In the 'faraway island' that I, the narrator, currently call, something is actually happening. This is unusual because there is no activity for that island in the morning and afternoon, but it's still morning.

"...?"

"...someone's coming in this direction..."

"...sensing, it seems to be a peaceful entity. Don't block him, her, or it."

"*enters* ...I... Hi."

"It's a Vaporeon..."

"And she seems to be a spirit..."

"Is this...? Have I arrived? If I'm not mistaken, you are who they call 'Madame Yumigami'."

"...I don't know who ever dubbed me with the title of the moon goddess, but I'm assuming that's what they begin to call me, yes. From your tone, it seems that you were aiming to arrive here... and you have an intention left undone...? Or a new one that has to be done..."

"Yes, that's exactly it. Like all of you, I've been watching the surface... and I need to get back here to aid..."

"Hm. First... introduce yourself."

"I... Showers Doruga, guardian of the waters of the now ruined Kamiki Village..."

"State your main reason, why you would want to return..."

"...guidance, aid, and finishing..."

"Then... concentrate your mind on mine, and I will see through your linkages...

...

...

...Showers. It seems that... you were right in coming here. The things you have shown me, it might be in large relation to our own reasons."

"Madame Yumigami, I promise my dedication to this, and while fulfilling my own mission, I will help the world as well."

"...then. Show me a talent, one that portrays your true being."

"...all is explained by this song I last sung... Over the Distance...

Omotte ita yori amaku wa nai mitai
Isso ima goto tobbara te kite hoshii
Sora de utaenai kotori no koe mitai
Konna ni kurushii
Dakedo anata ja nakya..."

"...! That... the true and powerful song of eternal love..."

"With the way you sing, I could tell that your entire being still remains true to the world. Very well, Showers, you may begin with us later... as obviously, we usually operate at midnight..."

"...thank you, Madame. I shall go to sleep now..."

Tailwind base.

In the library, while all 3 were still reading, an envelope found its way inside the room and flew in front of Sparchu's face. He quickly grabbed it and opened it.

"What's that, commander...?"

"...

...! Finally! Something to do! Time to retire those books for today, and gather your things properly! We have a mission to do!"

"...finally! I couldn't wait any further."

"Alright, I'm on it!"

"Meet at the living room in 1 minute. Go!"

After one minute...

"Alright! Here's the mission! Onwards to a place named Aquatic Sanctuary, we go and find the dungeon there! Go to the deepest floor, and find a lost item named the 'Tsuyugami'. After that, we are to go deeper~ yes, we are going deeper than the lowest floor~ and find the spirit encased in that certain item. After we find both, we deliver to our recepient, an Arcanine named Amaterasu. This Arcanine is the Vice-Captain of Squad 13, so she's a Pokétei member, we must not let them down! Tailwind, move!"

Tailwind then slams the door shut, and they travel to the beach in Western Terra, where the Aquatic Sanctuary can be found.

After arriving there...

"...odd, this looks like an ordinary beach. No signs of any dungeon or anything!"

"Ah, I forgot to mention then. You go on ahead, Roze. Dive exactly on that shining spot in the water right there, and drown yourself."

"...! *sweatdrop* What?! I'm not gonna kill myself! I need to breathe!"

"Just trust me. You may breathe again when you feel that you're being pushed down.

On second thought, we'll go together. Let's go, Zangetsu."

"Lucky for me I can hold my breath for long. Alright"

As the 3 dived in the water and drowning themselves, they eventually reach a part at the bottom of the sea where they were being pushed. All 3 of them could suddenly breathe.

"I welcome you to the Aquatic Sanctuary, a historical place known for being the house of some of the mystic entities. This place was almost never touched. Many undersea Pokémon retreat to this place for salvation, as there's a saying that a goddess guards this place. I don't know if it's still guarded now, but 4 years ago it definitely was. I wonder if she's still here."

"...this place is familiar to you then, commander? I never knew that such a place existed."

"This place... the aquatic sanctuary. Ah! This was the final step in my full formation, I remember now! You told me to drown myself and hold my breath for long, and that my spiritual pressure would help me survive. Commander, this is where I landed!"

"I'm glad you still remember. Now it's time we explore it in-depth. I will guide you along as I'm still pretty sure of myself in this place."

The 3 finally landed on the sign of land. It was still underwater yet they can breathe.

"Nothing's changed. No wonder -- it's kept so secret and peaceful. Alright, we'll proceed."

OOC: Time to recall what the hell I did with Aquatic Sanctuary. Can someone link me to the first thread of the previous RP? D: I need some references.

OOC: Sorry about the length, but i would like people to read this I just feel like it should be the worth the effort of making these posts that people read them, and I've been feeling that people arent reading my posts because they are long

---

Fox slowly opened his eyes, he wondered how long he had been out...he even wondered where he was. He couldn't feel the heat of the volcano around his body, but the pressure was still there, although it was more tolerable. Voices...there were voices, two of them, talking to eacother. He recognized one of them, and the other was completley new...or was it? Fox knew he had heard both voices before, but how? One of them was Arcanine, obviously, but the other...could it be Moltres? But how is moltres' voice familliar?!

"Ah, good, he has awakened. Fox, do not worry, you have only been unconcious for a few hours, which gave Moltres enough time to evaluate Phoenix. During the last hour, Phoenix released himself, and, well, We were able to retract him back into your body, under many restictions, as well."

"So...whats the verdict, then?" Fox said, finally standing up, and looking around, not seeing Moltres anywhere.

"It is true, young ninetails, you are of moltres decent, you have Skeith within you, you are one of the children of Morganna." A female voice rang out, and the origin of the voice sprang forth from the lava pool infront of Fox, Moltres hovered in the air marvelously, the lava dripping off her body like water would to any other pokemon, and the fire seeming to sparkle as it wisped off of her body. "Skeith has been tamed, but only patially. Arcanine and myself could only do so much, but the rest is up to you.

"How do I do that...? How and what can I do?"

"The answer is simple, young ninetails. You must prove your dominance over Skeith, make him become your power, not his own power! Look deep inside of yourself, find that inner fire of yours, and place that fire infront of your inter-mind self. Break the seal surrounding your fire, and release Skeith from his chains. In this state, you must do battle with him, and defeat him. It is very unlucky of you to have Skeith, however...Skeith and Corbenik are the two violent Epitaphs. Had you any of the the other five, this would be much simpler, but such is the way fate has gone. And to prevent further destruction of the world, Im afraid you may not leave this place until Skeith is defeated. May you live, then skeith will either be strong, or under your control. If the case is that you have survived but you were defeated, then you will no longer be yourself, and we cannot have skeith rampaging through the world. Can you understand that we are looking out for the world, Fox?"

"...Yes." Fox replied, looking down at the ground, and then focusing himself. He searched his mind, his memories, his thoughts, his dreams, his nightmares, he searched all of himself, until eventually he clicked into the inter-mind state. Everything slowly went black, and then the color reuturned to the volcanic dome he was in, although Arcanine and Moltres were gone. All that was left was himself and the lava pools around him. Fox gave a sight, and saw that a fire escaped his breath, and floated down into the lava pool infront of him. The lava began to bubbled, slowly at first, and then like boiling water, until eventually a firey mass floated to the surface of the lava, until it was standing on the lava like it was solid ground.

"You must be Skeith."

"You...you know my name aswell?" Skeith replied, twitching after hearing his name being said.

"Im guessing that you follow the same rule as demons, your strength is weakened when your name is said, or atleast, used against you. All prayers are more effective when the name is known."

"And I doubt you know any prayers...Now is the time we fight, Fox. After so long of trying to resurface myself to the world after thousands among thousands of years, now is time the time bring Morganna's fire to its true purpose! To burn the world to the ground!"

"Do not be foolish, Skeith! Morganna's eight elements were not meant for destruction, they were meant for life! To create, not destroy!"

"Then help me create myself, or die trying to destroy me!"

"I don't want to destroy you, I want you to become my power!"

"It's the same thing, Fox! without my freedom, it is the same thing as being non-existant! Im done talking, I am going to KILL YOU!" Skeith screamed, his voice suddenly turning demonic, deep and echo-y, with the phrase 'kill you'. Skeith used his entire body as a weapon, jumping off of the lava, into the air, and sending out powerful waves of fire, an Overheat attack! Fox summoned up his protect sheild, but was to no avail as once the first wave hit the protect sheild, it broke and shattere like glass, and the other waves pelted into Fox, burning into his body like lava would. As the waves went in every direction around skeith, the volcanic structure around them began to crumble, the dome above them cracking, pieces of large rock fell and crushed into the lava, creating waves of lava flowing over and swallowing what remained of standable rock at the bottom of the dome. Fox regained his stance, and jumped from rock to rock, having to be quick as each time he steped onto a rock, it was going to be swallowed, or was sinking into the lava already. Skeith remained in the air, spearing his flaming tails and having each tail hurl bits of fire at Fox, trying to incinerate him, trying to make him fall into the lava. He had the fight in the bag, and Fox seemed to have no hope.

"Agh!" Fox shouted, attempting to dodge a fire ball, only to have himslip on the rock he was standing on, and fall directly into the lava. Slowly falling further through the lava like ti was water and he was a heavy mass that could sink. fox tried so hard to repel all of the heat of the lava away from his body, he could feel the fur on his body slowly burn away. Trying to use protect wouldn't have worked, it would only trap him in an orb full of lava. "Repel the heat...repel the heat...use my fown fire...my..own..FIRE!" Fox shouted in his own mind, sending a shockwave from his body, much like one from Skeith's overheat attack, but really it was just a release of stored up energy. This shockwave sent all of the lava away from his body, and out toward the walls of the base of the dome. when the lava reached hear, the extreme pressure of the shockwave further pushed the lava, sliding up the dome's walls until eventually the lava began to fall from what remained of the dome structure's ceiling, leaving fox to stand on the rocky ground that resided under all of the lava, and Skeith to be consumed by the falling lava, something skeith never expected to have to do, letting his gaurd down for the second that the lava consumed him.

"Ah!" Fox gasped, waking from his inter-mind state. Arcanine stood infront of him, looking down at the fox who was now regaining conciousness yet again, picking his head up to see that Arcanine was smiling.

"You did it, kid. You've gotten control over Skeith, and now you can move on to bigger and greater things. Perhaps even finding the other children of morganna? It's not needed, but it would be interesting to see the powers of Morganna being used in synch, and not for destruction. You did good, Fox."

"There is further purpose for you here, Fox. Go home. and You must know this one last thing...Skeith's power is still only a last resort, for battles that cannot be won anyway else. Remember that, and you should make a fine hero."

OOC: Oh, but I do read all the posts (for this RP at least, heh -- I ignored some from the previous one).
@DW1: I like how you slowly and slowly build up the characters and yes, but somehow typos and un-capitalized words somehow takes away some of my momentum. You're posting great, yes, but try to correct as much errors as possible for the ultimate writings.

Quicky one again.

Back at Teigon's Squad 6 Field, the cage of primal petals was still closed, with Byakune and the primal Cherrim still there. Inside the quarters, Luxray Lieutenant Ren Torar rushes in along with the Ninetales captain of Squad 5, Roko Kyukon.

"...I apologize but this type of magic seal seems to be unbreakable at this current time." Roko tells Ren.

"What?! It's so dangerous out there right now that definitely something almost as powerful -- maybe even more powerful -- than the captain is there, and both spiritual pressures are clashing...!" Ren panicks.

"The magic that Captain Eneko used was Banodo #104 , Moonlight Bind. The dispelling spell for it, Pokédo #104 -- Morning Sun -- cannot effect the Moonlight Bind unless it's night time. By reversing the condition of the surface, it's how the Moonlight Bind will be broken." Roko tells Ren.

"Then..."

"It seems as if we have to wait. What happens out there, I don't know, we'll know by midnight, or when Byakune opens up the door again."[/color]

*bump*

OCC: Markup fail, Zek.

*bump*
LIVE GODDAMMIT!

OOC: I apologize for my absence. D: Now I completely forgot what I wanted to write next.

Down at the underwater dungeon, Aquatic Sanctuary.

"There's been an outbreak of aggressive Pokémon here lately, that's odd."

"They look normal, but I never expected them to attack in such numbers."

"Well at least we can handle it. I'd advise we proceed further down."

"If I remember correctly, we're just halfway there. Keep going."

Back at Teigon Squad 6 Field...

The cage of petals was still intact. After sometime, it then finally scattered. Inside, both Byakune and the primal Cherrim emerged. Both lied down in the center of the field, as if unconscious. The primal Cherrim stood up first, and walked over to the Skitty. As the flower got there though, a burst of fire suddenly rushed from the Skitty's paws. Byakune then immediately got up in a normal fighting stance, as if nothing happened.

"What... what?!"

"...(I don't know why just yet. But...)

With all your efforts to do so, I shall never succumb to the conversion. I see how you do it, and did you not notice my immunity to it? Must you persist so much that you need to consume my spirit as well?"

"Then no more, I must eliminate all potential threats!"

P.Cherrim readied an unexpected attack, as from within her some spirit rings formed and was obtaining energy.

"...(This is no normal Cherrim, obviously, but it's powers are extraordinary as well, because...)"

Eventually the spirit rings are forming in such a way that they can explode at any time.

"(Cherrims normally can't use Seed Flare!)"

A legendary move, Seed Flare, was launched by the P.Cherrim. To counter this, Byakune called to using Pokédo #38 -- Fire Blast. It was enough to weaken the incoming explosion of the Seed Flare, but he was still hit. P.Cherrim had a few burns of her own, too.

Byakune, as strong as he was, immediately got back up and Flash Stepped behind the Cherrim while it was still recovering. Byakune was then suddenly reminded that his sword is currently not existent, and thus he just pushed the Cherrim with such force that it sent the Cherrim sliding on the field. P.Cherrim finally got to recover after that and immediately from underneath her, a large burst of petals occurred and was charging towards Byakune.

The Skitty wouldn't let up on this and immediately after the petals supposedly hit him, Byakune was already in front of the Cherrim. He delivered a swift jab to the Cherrim on the center of her chest, which caused her to flinch in a bit of pain. With this quick flinch, Byakune was immediately able to whisper a lot of words. After the whispering, Byakune withdrew his hand and the P.Cherrim could be seen not moving, as if frozen in time. Slowly and slowly, the P.Cherrim's body was suddenly becoming stone.

"...

...Bloom, KuroSenbon!"

The petals that scattered before the battle were forming around the petrified Cherrim and enclosed it. After which, the petals finally formed the Cherrim that Byakune knows.

"...Byakune! I... I!"

"Stop that and go to sleep already."

Byakune delivered a swift blow to the nape of the Cherrim, which left her unconscious. The Skitty dragged her over and unsealed the magic of the door, which then surprised Ren and Roko on the other side. Byakune opened the doo~ rather, he slammed the door open, and immediately walked all the way to his room without giving notice to Roko and Ren, who were both dumbfounded with the Cherrim that he's dragging.

OOC: I'm becoming so lazy. D:
