[color=bc8dbf]"Hah. Please, no need to thank me...you might've survived the merciless Moonblast you were about to receive, only because of your additional steel typing...but, I digress." Sachiko smiles ever so faintly. "I am...the ghost of a Meowstic who never got to be. Though, I'm called Sachiko. I'm here with a group. We heard the music, assuming it was played by another person, not a Pokemon. Thus, we made our way here, and upon hearing the noises of what sounded like battle, my trainer and her other Pokemon, along with myself, came only to investigate. We were supposed to simply scout, but Euphoria, the Sylveon you just saw...she tends to get a little too excited in these situations. I hope you'll forgive her....this time, at least."
A few moments after finishing her explanation of the situation, Sephie and the rest of her Pokemon make there way over to Sachiko and Serph.
"I heard everything was fine, no thanks to Euphie over here." Sephie snickers a bit. She looks at Serph, and a sense of nostalgia washes over her. "Ah, a Lucario, huh? I used to have one of those...but...she split from my side awhile ago...anyway, that's a story for...possibly never, depending on who you are, and your intentions. We heard a flute around here. I assume that's a human's work, or at least something close to one?"
"Well, I don't see a pokeflute anywhere on this Lucario..." Pipley offers his observations.
"Should this situation turn volatile, and this Lucario decides to attack, can we all agree on me taking Sephie and scouring the rest of the forest, while you all stay behind and fight?" Raven is already coming up with a plan in case things take a bad turn.
"I suppose that's a good plan of action, should it truly come to such a thing..." Sachiko murmurs in response.
"I still want to play with someone..." Euphoria sighs sadly from the back of Sephie's group.
Ai-yu says nothing, only hanging onto Sephie's shoulder and looking at Serph with curiosity.[/color]
[color=8dc73f]Rythian perks his ears after hearing what Aqua has to say to him. He grins a bit with a soft chuckle. "Well...it depends. Can you remember if it was a red or blue Zorua? I'd think you might remember the difference...but, it doesn't matter much. No, I'm not as bad or as scary as most dark type Pokemon are made out to be, stereotypically. I can be...but I honestly prefer not to be. That's my brother's job, it would seem. A Revolutioneer fool...ah, but, you must excuse me. I seem to have forgotten my manners. My name is Rythian. May I have yours, miss?"
Meanwhile, Electricia and Mystarii continue to race through the forest in pursuit of the strange battling noises. However, as soon as the music stops, they skid to a halt.
"Eh? It stopped?" Mystarii jumps down from the trees to stand beside her friend.
"Yeah...but, that's no problem! We can just...sniff 'em out or something, right?" Electricia replies.
"Um...Ellie, have we ever been in this part of the forest?" Mystarii looks around, noticing with unease how unfamiliar it seems to her all of a sudden.
"W-what? Oh, come on! There's no way we can possibly be lost!" Electricia laughs as if this statement were ridiculous...but there's a heavy hint of nervousness in that laugh as well.[/color]
[color=ed1c24]Aruba has raced down into the forest at this point, slowly making her way through, using her aura perception abilities to seek out any nearby targets. Her assigned job was only to patrol the forest, looking for new Revolutioneer recruits, or finding and orchestrating attacks on the Trained. on her way through, she picks up a couple of nearby presences. Two Pokemon with a heavy air of fear and unease, it seems. She narrows her eyes, and creeps closer to the two auras as quietly as possible.
Darkclaw stands at the entrance to the forest that Aruba used, about to follow her in, until he receives a message from his own mind. Of course, he knows it's not his own mind's words. It's someone he knows at least a little, back at the Revolutioneer base. He glances back in the direction Aruba went, then reluctantly turns back to go back up the mountain and into the Revoluioneers' base once more. As much as he'd love to follow Aruba and surprise her once more...orders are orders.[/color]
