I looked back for a moment and noticed that M has finished off Bart, and therefore Team Zan. He then brought up a decent point, as in, how the heck did they actually get here without anything attacking them. I shrugged, and said "Maybe they annoyed the wild pokemon to death, or something," I honestly didn't know, but I think it was possible that the wild pokemon never even bothered to attack them... but then... why? It seems to completely contradict their seemingly random behavior, as in, they'd attack almost anything or anyone else that tries to trespass on 'their' territory, and above that, how the heck did these low-ranking, constantly failing, so-called 'thugs' even get access to a dive HM? Of course, knowing them, they could have just tripped over one, and had to use their only reviver seed from the damage caused from their leader tripping and falling over something. I almost laughed at thinking about how that might have played out, and continue forwards until I come across an area that reminded me of that altar in Foggy Plains. It had the same color difference, and that same grey crystal sitting in the middle of that same stone structure, and just like last time, I was nearly hypnotized by it. My thought process was interrupted by someone rushing past me, and nearly hitting me with dragon rush... a rare and powerful move that was thankfully somewhat inaccurate. I turned to see Vine, yet, something was wrong with him... was it that smile that I've never seen him make before, or was it the fact that he was charging up some sort of weird, shadow-based attack? I couldn't even really move at this point, unfortunately. I was conflicted about attacking my brother, someone who hasn't actually done anything wrong, and wasn't a wild pokemon, but I knew that I couldn't just rely on evading attacks this whole fight.

When Matt and the rest of us finally made it back to the spot where we left Terra, she looked more like a fire type than a fairy type, and Blaze was out of the backpack, looking up at her, scared. The bridge was made, and she instantly ran over to me, of all pokemon, and shouted "You just thought you could DITCH ME back there!? What, is your brain made of the same goop that the REST of you is made of? I mean, it took you THIS LONG to find a plank of wood?" She then started saying words that I probably shouldn't repeat or remember, until Blaze walked up to her and said "Terra, that's enough yelling. They did the best that they could, let's just be happy that we were able to get across," thankfully, that calmed her down before she decided to move on to the rest of the group, and after taking a deep breath, and counting to one hundred for some reason, she asked "Okay, so, do we have another plan of attack, or are we just heading up this mountain the slow way?" I then added "Well, Josh's friends found a secret passage that leade right up to the top of the mountain... um... but you'll have to find a way of climbing up a waterfall to get there..." I then prepared for another voice-based beating but it never came, she simply calmly said "Alright, lead the way, bucket man," though what she said was somewhat rude to Josh, for some reason, she sounded as if she was just messing around with him... which struck me as completely strange.

I frantically dig around in William's bag, finding an escape orb, only to get it knocked out of my hand by that exact conkeldurr. "Um... looks like we're not going to be leaving this fight any time soon," I say as I try to look around for where the orb might have bounced or rolled off to. The conkeldurr then uses rock throw, aiming at William, I, however, take the attack... even if it hurt like heck. He then said some garbled grunting noises, which I could only assumed meant he was trying to communicate with us, but I didn't make any effort to try to understand, after all, what would someone like him even try to say at a time like this, 'Ha, ha, you're puny!' or some other stupid thing? I use frustration on him, however, for some odd reason, he seems to resist the attack, making it a complete waste of time at this point. I then decide to quickly use attract on him before he could attack again, just to try to make this somewhat winnable. I would have used my badge, but for some reason, it went back into 'emergency' mode, rather than 'mission completed' mode, which means that we'd lose several items, and all of our money if we tried to teleport back. I then wondered for a moment, why, exactly, the badges even did that, I mean, were they controlled by someone, or a group of pokemon that just sort of keep tabs on every explorer out there that has one of these badges? Why wouldn't they just keep it in 'mission completed' mode all the time, then? Was it that it actually takes longer that way, or does it cost more power from those who are controlling the badges? Maybe... I'm just looking too far into this.
