[color=ed1c24]Aruba now stands atop the mountain that holds the base of the Revolutioneers within it. She ended up making her way to the top to ponder her next move, after staying with her imprisoned daughter for a bit longer. Aruba stared out into the distance, arms folded across her chest and cape fluttering in the wind. She closes her eyes with a long, drawn-out sigh.
"They want me to go down there and fight again..." Aruba murmurs to herself. "...But, really...is it worth it...?" she pauses on the thought, then shakes her head quickly.
"No, no. I can't think that way...not yet. I have to focus on getting Tatakumei out first. Then I can have my freedom of thought." Aruba glares down at the land before her, and begins racing down towards the bottom, and into the depths of the forest.
"Heh..."
In the background, peeking out from the rocks, a familiar Zoroark grins.
"Right behind you, Aruba..." Darkclaw snickers, and starts silently racing down after the Lucario.[/color]
[color=bc8dbf]"Ah, good to here. Guess I might be able to throw a bit of trust your way, then." Sephie snickers at Lucas. She nods towards Sha. "Nice to meet you as well. I'm Sephie, and I'm too lazy to say all of these guys' names over again, so they can introduce themselves if they feel like it. That being said, onward, team, towards that lovely tune~..." Sephie starts following the music, and her band of Pokemon follows her closely.
They get closer to the music, up until they start hearing other noises. Noises like pokemon moves being used, and someone asking a possible intruder questions.
"Hmm...a battle?" Sephie murmurs. She turns back to her group of Pokemon. "Alright guys, go scout the-huh?....Um...guys, where's Euphoria?"
Each pokemon in Sephie's group goes a bit pale, and starts looking around frantically.
"Hiiii guys~! I fouuuund you~!"
Further ahead, Euphoria has already made her way onto the scene, tracking down the sounds of interrogation, which lead her straight to Serph. At the recognition of a fighting-type pokemon, her already-disconcerting grin grows wider.
"Are you evil? Do I need to...play with you...?" Euphoria asks with a giggle, which slowly builds up to a crazed laugh. A glow starts surrounding her body, and it looks as if she's about to unleash a super-powered Moonblast. The large pink orb of light forms above her head, and is ready to crash straight into Serph-
"Nope."
Suddenly, everything is put to a halt as Euphoria is surrounded by a new light energy, this one being purple-ish pink. It floats her in the air, and cancels out her Moonblast in seconds.
"AWWW!" Euphoria whines. "I WAS JUST ABOUT TO-"
"Euphoria, we don't know if they deserve such a fate." The owner of the psychic energy, the ghost of a shiny Meowstic, steps forward. "Sephie told us to scout. Not kill. Yet."
"I knoooowwww..." Euphoria groans, her ears and ribbon-feelers drooping with disappointment.
"Here, Euphie. Why don't you go back and tell Sephie what is going on? I shall stay and watch...after all, I'm already dead. Not much else can happen to me, should things grow coarse..." Sachiko smiles lightly, a rare sight. Euphoria nods sadly in agreement. Sachiko releases the Sylveon from her telekinetic hold, and Euphoria runs back to report to Sephie. Sachiko stands where she is, turning silently back to Serph and Jean to watch them with a keen eye.[/color]
[color=39b54a]Mystarii, Electricia, and Rythian pick up on the increasing noise near them in the forest.
"We should go see what all the fuss is about..." Electricia murmurs.
"Yeah! And see what we can steal!" Mystarii grins.
"Ugh..." Rythian shakes his head again, and starts moving cautiously towards the music and pseudo-battle noises. "Follow me, then. At the very least, don't get yourselves into unnecessary trouble. I know how much you seem to love doing that, but-"
"WHAT ARE YOU DOIN' HERE, BANDITS?!" Electricia runs off ahead with a determined grin, holding her top hat so it doesn't fly off.
"What did I just-?!" Rythian can't continue before Mystarii climbs a tree and start's pursuing her friend, jumping from branch to branch.
"Sorry Ry! That's just too boring!" Mystarii teases from a distance."
Rythian lets out a heaving sigh, trudging after the two rambunctious Scattered pokemon. On his way closer to the scene, he notices Aqua, and smiles lightly. "Hello there."[/color]
