Almost immediately after we stopped talking via badge, Tini raced down here, and somehow evolved as he did so. He slithered past Eralion and I, who were ready make the bookcases fall as per the plan. I was on the eastern wall, and as soon as Tini passed time seemed to slow down for me as I awaited my exact cue, which, in this case was simple enough, wait for my father to pass by. As soon as that happened, I pushed the bookcase, making it fall on top of him. He was immobilized. Angry, and struggling to get out from under at least one bookcase, however, he couldn't attack, he couldn't move, at least for now. "I... we... did it! I can't believe it, I thought he was invincible, and yet, here he is, my father, Artemis the murderer, trapped, and helpless," I think out loud. This moment right here has given me hope that he can, like any other pokemon, be defeated. I then hear him shout "RELEASE ME AT ONCE OR I WILL KILL YOU ALL!" as if he had some sort of power over any of us, and that was thankfully no longer true with me. I then turn towards Tini, and say "Thank you... you have no idea how much you've done for me right here, and right now," I then turn back towards my father, and say to him "And if you think you can scare me anymore, threaten ME anymore, well, who's the one who got the other stuck under a bookcase?" he, as predicted, hissed, and continued to struggle to get out of his predicament. It didn't work, and honestly, I felt relieved, as if a giant weight has been lifted. I... didn't feel quite as afraid of my father as I used to, just because of this moment, this little bit of hope, and maybe, just maybe, I can get strong enough to defeat, and arrest my father once and for all for what he's done.

I simply stayed on Kamina's head, and noticed an odd marshtomp who was running towards us. "Hey, do you want to follow us?" I ask him, just sort of out of habit. I then add "As long as you're not as much of a jerk as that Spruce guy, you can come," Spruce didn't seem to like that very much, but I was just surprised he heard it at all, considering the fact that he shouldn't even have ears. The chikorita and the ekans both left after Spruce explained why Josh was bound to the bucket, leaving me to just sit on top of Kamina's head like a bump on a log. The weather changed from sunny to rainy as we stayed here, well, okay, we DID eventually start moving, but it just seems like we were coming across obstacle after obstacle stopping us in our tracks. This was going to be a long journey to the area that was described to me in the psychic message, and it wouldn't get any shorter if we kept stopping like this. "So, are we going to keep going?" I ask the group, with Spruce replying by just heading forwards, past Kamina and I for a bit, though, he looked annoyed, for some reason.

I continued to chase the mystery pokemon who had one of the papers, and Levita just started staring off into space for some reason. I eventually catch up to the perpetrator, and use flash tackle on him, and, with that being a light move, it lit up the area, revealing him as a nidoran... and an explorer. "GAH!" he exclaimed, later adding "Get away you wild pokemon, this paper's a part of the mission," I stammer for a moment, and eventually add "We're on the same mission, and we already have two of them, so... give us the paper," the nidoran didn't want to cooperate, and added "We have two of them, and WE need the rest, so... give us YOUR paper!" that seemed to be the rest of his team's cue, as an aron, a shroomish, and an abra then appear, and look at me angrily. I think about the situation for a bit, and, while it seemed like the opposite team was already ready to fight, I said "Wait, we don't have to fight, we're just trying to help the same guy. Can't we just help the guy?" They didn't listen to me, unfortunately, and the nidoran used a move similar to my own flash tackle, however, it was a more shadowy version, as he cloaked himself in a shadowy aura before tackling me. It didn't hurt much, but it did make me drop my 'Desia' badge, which I was trying to hold onto as a memento from the time before I became an explorer. The nidoran looked at the badge, and said "Desia...?" he then asked "What do you know about Desia!?" I shook my head, and said "Nothing, I just found that badge lying on the ground, somewhere... is she a famous explorer, or something?" the nidoran looked back at his team, and said "Obviously, she's lying, and we're dealing with another of Desia's minions. NO MERCY!" That last bit shocked me, and, just as well, I end up taking a headbutt from the aron, and a hidden power from the abra. I don't know why they were focusing on me, other than the fact that they think I work for this 'Desia' lady, who I still had no idea about.
