Shade dropped into view, landing on some trees t.o their right.

I wasn't planning on it my dear, so please tell your friend to put his icy projectiles down. As a flying type, they are making me very nervous.

He kept himself ready to fly away at any time, just incase the woman's Abomasnow gets Antsy.

My name is Shade, and I am thd guardian of the Umbraisis family."

As he ate, Shade beame awareof a Morph that was watching him from a little ways off, the carcass of a Sawsbuck at its feet. The Morph looked at him for awhile, then left with her prize.

Levi gave a small yawn of contentment as she wolfed down the last of the Hoothoot she wanted. She felt slightly guilty for just running like that, but it passed quickly as she set off at a leisurely pace through the forest, certain that nothing would so much as dare challenge her. Unless that Umbreon managed to keep up with her, though she doubted that was likely. She was confident in her speed, though she didn't normally use it for running away. Now though, her goal was to get out of this forest. She didn't want to overstay her welcome any longer than was needed. That, and she really was tired of roughing it for the past month. Having some human amenities would be nice for a change. namely, anything of the alcoholic nature.

It was then, a deafening screech rang through the forest, which temporarily dazed her from the sheer sound of it. Now that, was a surprise. There weren't too many pokemon that could pool off that kind of attack. Probably some sort of dragon type. Then again, it may have been and Exploud, though she hadn't remembered seeing any earlier when she was hunting. Levinia stopped, taking a look in the direction where the noise came from. Curiosity getting the better of her judgement, she set off at a fast pace towards the source of the sound.

As she approached, she slowed her pace, quietly moving towards the source. Looks like her assumption was correct. She was easily able to make out the pokemon in the dark, eyes glowing a bright gold color as she observed the scene. A Noivern took out both the Mightyena and the Sawsbuck it had been hunting, or perhaps it had just been the Mightyena right after he had thought he won. Not that it mattered though. What mattered, was that this pokemon was another Morph. Probably one just passing through, much like she was. It had been awhile since she had talked with another morph. Maybe she should say hi....

"Well, I wondered what could make such noise." She started, stepping out of her hiding place and making her presence known to Fang. "Second Morph I've met tonight. Hope you're friendlier than the other one. I'd really rather not have to fight a potential comrade, especially as something so trivial as food." She Took a relaxed sitting position, just out of the Noiverns immediate reach, just in case it was hostile she could have a few seconds to react.

Eris continued to watch the two Pokemon below her, feeling uneasy as she still did not know what was wrong. A large Luxray had appeared, and the two individuals seemed to be having a dispute of sorts - a common conflict between wild Pokemon was territory, which was likely despite the fact that she was too high up to tell exactly. Still, the feeling that there was something she was missing, doubled at the appearance of the Luxray, and she felt slightly paranoid. It was a slight tickling at the back of her mind, of something she felt she should know the meaning of. Were there any humans around? She turned and scanned about the dark brambles with a careful eye, still not convinced that all was normal even after not finding anything unusual. Feeling anxiety kick in, she left the scene and began to hesitantly glide away in another direction. She glanced down at the two figures warily one last time before fleeing. Surely, it was better to trust her instincts.

Or, I could figure this out and be done with it, The thought unfortunately did not go away, and curiosity overwhelmed her decisions. She simply just had to know, somehow. Although, finding her way back to the site would be a problem, her sense of direction growing disoriented. A white blur zig-zagged through the trees as it searched for the strange Pokemon, not having much luck as she was likely wandering farther and farther away from the last area. She halted suddenly, frozen in place as a shrill screech echoed in the distance. That wasn't something she heard everyday. A rustling underneath on the forest ground distracted her attention from the sound as a large figure ran past underneath. The familiar, peculiar presence returned to her senses. The Luxray from earlier had taken off, and was dashing through the woods, and had likely left the original area long past. Although still uneasy about it, Eris trailed above the large feline as it ran, deciding to investigate it for the rest of the night, Perhaps it was just a normal Luxray, and nothing more. The radius of cold air expanded a few feet around her, unconsciously out of fear from the earlier surprise.

"I have no feud with you, Luxuray. I was actually planning to steal your dinner when you were facing off against that Umbreon, but you ran off. Don't worry though, I found something more suitable anyways." She then ripped of and devoured a chunk of the Swasbuck's flank as if to prove her point.

"If you are still hungry, then you can have what I don't finish. I'm only eating enough so I could make the trip back to my Clan. It resides on that island on that island just outside the gulf. I am in a hurry to return, as the one I left in charge cannot be trusted for long trips. Of course, you may see more of me later, as we are moving to the mainland soon. Are Island's too small for us now, not enough food. Sadly, that meant that a few pokemon's territories will have to be taken over. I was hoping to find a spot of unclaimed land big enough for us, but sadly, no such luck. Well, if that Mightyena is any indication, they don't appear to be that strong in this area so it should cost me any of my clan members."

She gave a glance up, noticing that large flying pokemon she had avoided a little earlier was landing near a clearing not too far off. "That guy is going to be a problem if he lives around here though," she sighed, pointing out the massive pokemon to the Luxuray morph.

"Well, aren't you an honest one." Levinia chuckled, laying down, seeing that this morph was indeed much less hostile than that Umbreon. She allowed her guard to be lowered slightly as she continued. "Not that I can really complain. I've done my fair share of food snatching when needed. And thank you for the offer, but I was simply getting a small snack before I continued my travels myself. No sense and stopping to hunt mid journey, if you can avoid it." Levinia spoke, obviously much more relaxed than when she had first showed up. Though, when the Noivern mentioned a clan, her ears drooped, just barely being noticeable. Must be nice, to have a clan. She hadn't been to her home in ages...wherever that even was. After she was kidnapped, she had never even been able to find her way home. She hadn't really stumbled upon other morph clans either, though she supposed she hadn't been trying that hard in recent years. With a slightly annoyed growl, she shoved the thought aside, instead focusing on the pokemon her new acquaintance had pointed out.

"Not to worry, friend. Flying pokemon aren't much of a problem for me. I'm rather confident when facing any types, to be honest." She confidently smirked. "I'm sure if push came to shove, we could come up with something. Us morphs have to stick together, after all." She was silent for a moment, seeming to think about something, her eyes falling to the ground in a bit of thought. She supposed she should ask, after all. This Noivern said she was the leader of the clan after all. "So, I was planning on leaving tonight. I don't like spending very long in one area but," She noticeably hesitated for a brief second before continuing. "If your clan needs helping moving...I would not be opposed to helping, should you need it."

As the massive flying Pokemon flew into view, Odessa nearly dropped her weapon at the sight, but she faintly recognized the Pokemon: Shade, god of death and guardian of the Umbraisis family. What was something like him doing here? And more importantly, why was it talking to her?


The odd sensation she'd felt returned and Odessa somehow understood that the words were coming from the beast. She'd heard of Pokemon such as it talking to people with their minds, but it was uncanny actually experiencing it. The Yveltal's comment didn't do much to dissuade her defensive stance, but... did it just express worry over Blain? A god, worried about what a codger like Blain could do?

Odessa quickly stepped behind the Abomasnow to hide her smirk and gave him a pat on the back. "Hey, calm down. We'll be fine." The Abomasnow complied and lowered his hands, the inert ice shards dropping to the ground. The Yveltal spoke again.



So, she was correct. What did the Umbraisis family want with her, and what would warrant sending their guardian? She stepped out from behind the Abomasnow with a more serious face and spoke directly to Shade.
"Shade, it is a pleasure to meet you. I am Odessa Strauss, though I suspect you already knew that. What purpose would you have for being here? Does the Umbraisis family wish something from me?"

Magnus sighed at the persistence of this man and his pokemon, which was looking quite irritated at the whole scenario. "Just an FYI, My Gardevoir knows how to teleport things that aren't her. So we're basically just toying with you, if you can figure out what I mean by that." Magnus said as Gardevoir grabbed another set of rocky spikes with Psyshock and formed them into a wide area above the Haxorus, unleashing a hyper voice at wherever the Haxorus dodged to in another wide arc. "I do have other things I'd like to do you know. If all you can do is run or dodge, you can save us all a lot of time and just surrender."

Zaegar watched amused from a nearby alleyway, served that jerk right getting his butt handed to him by a priest. At this point it looked like the only thing the jerk-face could do was try a dirty-handed tacit and attack the priest himself

Fang

"I would love to have you come with me, but how do you propose we get you across the the ocean to my Island home. I can't carry you all the way there" Fang actually knew of a way to get to the Island on foot, but she wanted to test the Luxuray morph's skills at problem solving. She wanted ti recruit the morph into her clan, as she seemed strong, fit, and also seemed respnsible enoigh to be a hunt leader, which is a position she needed filled desperately, as their.ast one had died a while ago on a trip to the mainland, leaving her with the responsibility.

John

"Never, Axia, use Outrage'."

John then made sure to back up a bit, and motioned for Magnus to,do the same.

Axia, hearing her master's command, clossed eyes for a second. When they re-opened, they were glowing a dark red, as if lit by the fires of hell. She bukl-rushed forwad, taking hyper voice straight on, and jumped high into the air, here bladed head reared back ready to strike with a powerful slash.

Shade

The house of Umbraisis asks nothing of you, I was just flying around and was curious seeing an Abomasnow this far south from their mountain climate. Also, why do you think I know the name of someone I've never met, I can only speak to other minds, not read them. Do you need a flight somewhere as I'm sure I can help you get to where you need to be a lot faster
