Somehow in the middle of the commotion, Gredy escaped from Celty's grasp, and fled. A piercing cry escaped the Mawile's lips when she no longer felt the tuft of fur, "GREDY!", but it was too late. The Evolution Pokémon became another member of the frightened crowd, before disappearing from view.

There was nothing she could do. The other children needed to be taken to safety, then perhaps she could pursue the Eevee.

Pushing back tears, Celty turned to answer Devon's question, "It's full-out panic. I don't know why, but whatever the reason is, I can't imagine it's good."

Dragging the Totodile into the dojo, she leaned against one of the walls, slumping down. Hopefully the other children followed.

Dusting himself off a bit, Devon looked down at Celty slumped on the ground and sighed. "Don't beat yourself up Celty. I'm sure Gredy will be fine. He probably just dived into some random building, and is hiding like everyone else. I'm sure this will blow over soon."

Turning to face the rest of the dojo, the Totodile found himself looking at an empty arena type area. Gredy had said that Spirit had taken Rico and Lulu here for training, but it certainly didn't look to be the truth. "Spirit was supposed to be here right? Where is he then? I doubt he freaked out and ran off like the rest of us...." Putting his claws to his mouth he called out. "Hey! Anyone home!?"

@Shiny Keldeo



That voice rung in his head, ordering him to go to the peak. He wasn't exactly sure on what was happening but he was compelled to actually follow that order. Well, he did decide to clear some dungeons so why not start now. Infinity Mountain was one of the harder dungeons he has placed himself into but nothing can stop him, not when he has a goal in mind. He flew quickly through the dungeon, often using flamethrower to scare off or make other pokemon faint.

He was almost through with the dungeon when the voice said something again. One hour? Ha! He would still have spare time once he gets there. This was perfect.



He had arrived with time to spare. He landed on the ground and began walking, looking around and saw that some pokemon were already there. The Bisharp and Haunter at least. He then began to make his way towards them before stopping just a few feet away from the both of them. He then sat down. None of them seemed like the contractor so he should wait for that person before talking with other people. That's what he thought. He was still on high alert because of these pokemon there.

@The_written_John @Ninian @Light Lord @Noklu @Empour
A Staraptor, new to the village as Spirit knew from the looks and sounds of him, tried to join in on their little walk. The way he spoke greatly disgusted him though. "I wish no ill will towards Flash, he was only doing what he had known all his life. And that's Guildmaster to you." The Staraptor kept on talking. "Power such as that which you seek cannot be obtained the way you believe it can. I became as strong as I am through rigorous training and strict self-discipline. You quite arrogant and cocky attitude shows me you would be incapable of such a feat. Now, if you'll excuse me..." Spirit waved off the rude avian, continuing on his way, pushing him out of his head with the utmost of ease.

"The Village hasn't changed much since I left, but the people these days... did you even hear that guy? What nonsense..." Said Omen, trotting along casually next to Spirit. "I tend not to judge other people out loud, but yes... I agree with you." The two continued down the path to the Dojo, with Rico and Lulu right on their tails. When they arrived, they found some Pokemon waiting there for them. "Ah, hello there Celty... you seem saddened by something." Omen nudged at Spirit. "Oh, right, well, I have a quick private matter to attend to, so if you'll excuse me..."

Spirit and Omen nudged by the Mawile and her group, heading deep into the Dojo. Rico and Lulu stuck around outside though. "Hey Devon, how's it going?" Asked Rico, looking to the Totodile. He looked around, seeing Dylan and a Snorunt he'd never seen before with them. "Dad's talking with one of our old friends, Omen. Hopefully he'll be done soon. But, we did something amazing! We used Aura Sphere for the first time!" Rico nodded with his sister. "Yeah, we both fired one at Flash when he tried to blindside dad, I don't know how but we did!"



@Banana @Iatos
Razor had stayed back to make sure everything was safe and the crowd had dispersed. That Vanillite, Kargool he thought he said his name was, was still there. "Team Envirolock, eh? Can't say I've heard of them. But, then again, I can't recall many teams out there that don't make the world's papers. Well, good to meet you. I'm Razor, Guildmaster Spirit's right hand Pokemon. So, what brings you all the way out here?"



@floodtalon @Polaris North
The next Pokemon to arrive was a Haunter. He could sense in him great turbulence in his heart, an inability to determine right from wrong. Yet another good find. Then came the Salamence. Powerful, prideful, money hungry, seems easy to manipulate enough. Soon even more started arriving. A Hippowdon who seemed to have given up on the world, a Machamp who had the mindset that he would become a famous superstar, and that this would help him achieve that dream, and a Beartic, who was simply there because he had nowhere else to go, nothing else to do, and nothing left to lose.

Finally the hour was up. He telekintically moved a boulder in front of the cave that would lead to the peak, keeping anyone else from advancing. At last, he connected his mind with that of the others. "You six have completed the challenge I have set for you. Good work. You six are truly worthy of my presence, but I will not reveal myself to you yet." The Bisharp spoke up for the first time since he had arrived. "Who are you even? And why bring together a bunch of random Pokemon like this?"

He chuckled. "You may refer to me as "The Master." And I have brought you all together to complete a number of tasks for me. Believe me, if completed, you will be greatly rewarded for you efforts. Money, Power, Eternal Life, all of it can be yours. Just do as I say from here on out. If you disagree with these terms..." He telekineticaly moved another boulder, revealing a hidden cave across from the first. "You may leave. If you agree, then listen to what I have to say. I'll let you make your choices."

He could feel it in their minds already. The gears had turned for most of them. The Bisharp wanted power, the Hippowdon wanted purpose, the Machamp wanted fame, and the Beartic also wanted purpose. He could sense in the Salamence it wanted money. The Haunter, well, purpose as well. The choice seemed clear to them all. "I'm in." Said the Bisharp. "As am I." Replied Hippowdon. "Count me in." Responded the Machamp. The Beartic merely nodded his head. Now he just waited for the Haunter and Salamence to reply.

@Shiny Keldeo
Valiant Village, Town Gate
"I came to start a rescue team away from my hometown. Get some new faces and have people that actually want to form a team. Then again my chances are slim, huh?" Kargool noted that Razor was the Guildmaster's right-hand-man, and hopefully in the future that would be beneficial in Kargool's goal of having a new team to work with. "Actually, a Snorunt told me an outlaw was coming from the other side of town, and she described it as a Scizor. I mean the guildmaster took down Flash so I think the Snorunt was just faking me out." Honestly Kargool didn't trust Hat from the start. He got a vibe from her that wasn't very trusting, and it rustled his jimmies a bit.

@Shiny Keldeo

She stayed in the comfort of her son until she had started figuring out what had transpired, she realized she must have lost it and yet it scared her more that she actually couldn't remember what she had done. The Magnezone called it a 'Episode' after calling it 'bravery' to go into battle... but she didn't feel very brave, she knew deep in her heart there was nothing brave about what she had just done. She didn't fight against an opponent she feared, no she was fighting against a life she hated, and a life she respected. She didn't know if she actually fought against Flash's gang or if she actually had fought against herself. In the end she knew that if it haden't been for her child she would have lost the battle and sunken into deeper and deeper frenzy until her own blood had been completely spilled.

The guild master haden't said a word to her, and that fact hurt her more than a thousand stings. Perhaps now he wouldn't like her anymore... perhaps now he would come to detest her. She looked to Razor, she could see the bitemarks still on him and she knew she had hurt him too, it made her lower her head but she couldn't bring herself to say much too him. She Saw Omen walk by, causing her to lower her head in shame "I'm Sorry..." she said and turned around, he walked back home after that. Taking her Baby home was her top priority and getting him fed... after that she would go to knock on the Town's healers door, tail tucked between her legs as she realized she had to put an end to this... she needed help, and she didn't know who else could help her.




He Smiled to Zaru, and was going to respond to him when he Suddenly saw the Riolu twins fire an Aura sphere at... Flash!... he was up and about to strike Spirit down... then he was down again causing the Zorua to gasp. It was amazing, incredibly amazing. He haden't seen anyone besides the Guild Master and A Togekiss that Visited the Guild before use that move. However he knew that he could learn Night Daze if he trained hard, and that would be a move unique to his specie.

As he saw that The Guildmaster left with Omen and the Riolu twins in tow he stalked them quite litterally. He used the vantage point he had gained on the roofs by following the Riolu twins from before and was now following. He didn't make much sound at all and stayed out of sight. He leaped to the next roof when he could and kept his eyes on Omen, he knew of course that the Guilmaster probably would sense him if he tried... but it didn't stop him from stalking them anyway. Yet as they went into the Dojo he flicked his tail slightly and frowned. He was riled up... pepped by the recent battle, he wanted to fight too!... he leaped down near the Riolu twins once he got the chance and starred at them. I Challange you to a battle!... who will be my second?!" he said as he looked around, Perhaps Zaru or someone would assist him... not that he fully expected to win easily over a duo with type advantage.

@Ninian@Empour@Noklu@Shiny Keldeo



As if on cue, Spirit and his group entered the dojo. Turning to look at them, Devon opened his mouth to say something. To finally ask the question that had been eating away at him ever since his conversation with Dylan under the bridge. But alas, it was not meant to be. Spirit and this new Absol guy took their private matters to one of the other rooms, making the Totodile's mouth clamp shut as they came past. Crap. Guess I'll just catch up with Spirit after they're done....

At least he could make some conversation until then. Rico piped up, with Devon turning to the Riolu and smiling. "Hey Rico. It's going....Fine." He didn't know quite how to answer that question. The seemingly random panic from earlier still left him a bit confused. Then Lulu chimed in, and though what she said didn't quite give him some clarity, it did impress him. The twins amazing feat made his smile grow wider. "Whoa! Really? That's awesome guys! I thought Riolu weren't even able to learn that! And you used it to save your Dad huh?" Waving his claw in a circle a bit, he frowned. "Is that why everyone in town was flipping out back there? You were busy duking it out with someone? What's the deal with that? You're all ok right?"

[Valiant Village - Sawk and Throh Dojo]

@Empour@Noklu@Light Lord@Shiny Keldeo@Iatos
Blinking a few times, Celty was about to answer the Totodile's question when in marched Spirit, with an Absol by his side. Obviously, there was no need for what she had planned to say. Looking over the Lucario and the new arrival, her curious gaze averted when the Guildmaster pointed out her troubled disposition. "It's just... Gredy..." That was all she was able to muster before the pair hurried off. Whatever it was, it was clearly quite important.

Hopefully Devon was right. With luck, Gredy might be somewhere safe.

As the Lucario and Absol exited, the two Riolu siblings remained in what Celty could only assume was some sort of lobby. Dojos weren't exactly a thing where she grew up.

"Aura Sphere? That's quite a powerful ability, congr—Hold up. Flash? Isn't that the Scizor wanted by... like... everyone!?"

@Light Lord @Ninian @Noklu @Empour @Iatos
"Well, usually that's true Devon. But there are many Riolu who have mastered the move. It's not impossible to learn, but it's much harder before evolving into a Lucario like dad." Explained Rico, as his sister continued with the story. "Yeah, that Flash. Dad was amazing, Flash couldn't land a single blow! But dad thought he was down for the count, and turned his back on him. Flash tried to blindside him, but we blasted him, then dad gave him an uppercut to remember." Said Lulu, miming out the punch.

Then Milton jumped down from nowhere, challenging the twins to a battle. "Um, you realize it's two against one, right?" Said Rico, looking around to see if anyone would step forward to aid Milton.



Spirit sat down in a kind of meditative pose, while Omen rested in a lying position. "I'm sorry to pull you away like this, but what I'm about to say, I know only you would believe." Began Omen resting his eyes upon Spirits. "In my entire life, I've never felt something as disturbing as this. I felt a great disaster coming, greater than any since..." Spirit raised his hand, not wanting to even speak of that event that had transpired over ten years ago. "The world is in danger, from what I cannot determine. Something is... blocking me, shrouding itself in a veil of darkness. Whatever it is, it could mean the complete destruction of our world."

Spirit remained silent, taking in every word that Omen had said. It was true, yes, that Absol could sense coming danger. And Omen and his family had saved Valiant Village in the past because of it. But another apocalypse event... it seemed like the world never changed from this routine of imminent destruction and salvation. "And you are sure that the danger is that great?" Omen nodded his head once in response. Spirit put his hand to his chin, thinking. Then it dawned on him. "If the world is in that great a danger, would something else not happen again?"

Spirit was referring to the story told many times over. Of how humans would be brought to their world when it was on the brink of destruction, as they were the only ones who could stop it. Omen contemplated this for a moment. "That is true... but who, or where, if they are here, are these humans? They would probably be greatly confused by the turn of events, possibly even no memory of even being a human..."

Spirit thought long and hard, but nothing immediately came to mind. Then again, much had happened today, but it felt like he was missing something important... what was it? He thought back as far as he could. He rescued Rico and Lulu, the morning meeting, the talk with Celty, Devon, and Dylan... Devon and Dylan... wait! Didn't they say something about having amnesia? Could it be... or was it just a coincidence? Well... truthfully it wasn't a rare occurrence for a Pokemon to end up in that state. Then again, he never did take a good look at their Aura did he? In his experience, one's Aura could speak thousands more words than most Pokemon would actually speak.

Finally, Omen broke the silence. "So, did you think of something? You got that look on your face when you realize something." Spirit looked over to Omen. "There's a look?" Omen cracked a smile. "You can't miss it. So, what is it?" Spirit shook his head. "Probably nothing, just a wild hunch that probably would lead us on a wild Unfezent chase." He said this, but he wasn't too sure of the truth behind those words. "So, tell me, how were your travels, I'm very intrigued." Omen perked up a little. "Well, the south is way different than here, that's for sure..."



@Banana
Razor listened to the little Ice type's story, nodding his head. "Well, a team would be out of the question for a brand new recruit. But, if you were to join, and get your work done right and on time, you'd probably be climbing that ladder pretty quick." Then he told him about the Snorunt named Hat. "Hat, huh? Never heard of him, so he must have just gotten into town today. I'll find him later and have a chat with him." The crowds had finally cleared out, and life had returned to normal in Valiant Village. Razor sighed and turned towards the Guild, stopping for a moment and looking back. "Well, the least I can do for you right now is to give you the grand tour of the place. It's not as luxurious as it looks on the outside, but it's home." He said, waving his arm forward, urging the Vanillite to follow.

@Shiny Keldeo@Iatos



Zaru was quite amazed by what the twins did. Bro, doing the aura sphere and then beating Flash when he tried to suckerpunch their guildmaster was just simply... epic. He hadn't exactly expected the two to do something as flashy as that. Then the two left for the dojo. He was about to follow before he noticed a certain Zorua being sneaky so the Chimchar didn't jump down to congratulate the two. Instead, he followed Milton as he jumped from roof to roof. Honestly, he didn't know what he was doing but he was willing to go with it.

Suddenly, Milton jumped down so Zaru soon followed. What shocked him completely was Milton's sudden request to battle with the two. Come on! They literally just beat an outlaw, given that he was already injured and stuff, but still. He then noticed that Milton was in a really great disadvantage. Then Milton asked if someone would step up to help him. "I'll help you bro." He said, stepping up to the challenge. "After all, it's training ain't it?" He then looked at the Riolu twins. He'll also get to see just how fast these two were. Zaru was a quick monkey, that's for sure, but he never challenged these two fighting types so it will be interesting. And he'll improve. Good enough reason right?"

---

Drogo watched as the other pokemon came in after him. When he said that the time was up, he moved a boulder to block the entrance and Drogo couldn't help but wonder if there was some other pokemon who didn't make it but wanted to join them. He didn't dwell on it too much as he returned his attention to the pokemon present at the peak. There was the Bisharp, the Haunter, the Hippowdon, the Machamp and the Beartic. All of them seemed powerful and capable of handling themselves. Well to prove that, they did make it to the peak of the Infinity Mountain and they didn't seem injured.

Then the pokemon who referred to himself as "The Master" spoke once more. He offered them power, eternal life and money in exchange for their services and will get these should they succeed in every single request. The Salamence couldn't care less about power, but his interest was caught the moment he said money. And then there was the eternal life. Now that was something that could easily rope someone in. Admittedly, Drogo was interested in both the money and the eternal life. He looked back at the hidden cave that was opened. It was their choice, to join or not.

The others said they were in and now they were awaiting his and the Haunter's answers. Well what does he have to lose? "I will join your purpose." He answered. His speech seemed much more refined than the others but he didn't exactly want to be heard like that. It was just force of habit. Ah well. And then, he as well, turned to the Haunter, to hear his answer.

"I guess my previous experience doesn't help me make a team off the bat easier? Okay, I mean we can't win them all, am I right?" The Vanillite floated behind the Excadrill while he was giving the grand tour. Everything was massive, but efficient. Sort of like Durant colonies, which surprisingly are very difficult dungeons, and this seemed no different. Everything sort of worked together in a neat and organized fashion. Kargool admired this and was sort of excited that he would be living here for a while. "Hey... could I ask about how the recruitment process works? I knew the gist of it back in my hometown but I dunno if it works differently here."

@Shiny Keldeo

More Pokemon arrived after Valentine, each one looking powerful enough to match him. A Salamence, a Machamp, Hippowdon, Beartic. The best of their typings some would say. He might have to work with some of them judging by the number of Pokemon here. The Bisharp seems the most tolerable.

"You six have completed the challenge I have set for you. Good work. You six are truly worthy of my presence, but I will not reveal myself to you yet."

"Who are you even? And why bring together a bunch of random Pokemon like this?"

"A good question. Why are we here?" Valentine wasn't a fool, he didn't like to work without purpose. That's the best way to get screwed over.

"You may refer to me as "The Master." And I have brought you all together to complete a number of tasks for me. Believe me, if completed, you will be greatly rewarded for you efforts. Money, Power, Eternal Life, all of it can be yours. Just do as I say from here on out. If you disagree with these terms..." Suddenly a boulder rolled away, unblocking a nearby cave that presumably led to the ground.

"You may leave. If you agree, then listen to what I have to say. I'll let you make your choices."[/i] This "Master" person was shady. Shady beyond all belief, yet Valentine was intrigued. Everyone slowly agreed to join, leaving only Valentine. A moment passed and Valentine closed his eyes. When they opened once more, they were filled with conviction. "Your cause is my cause. I will join."

@Ninian@Empour@Noklu@Shiny Keldeo@Polaris North@Iatos



The description of the battle made Devon's jaw drop. Spirit and his kids took down a criminal all by themselves? And Spirit didn't even get hit? That was pretty impressive, and the Totodile made sure to admit that. Starting a bit of hammy clapping, he grinned at the two Emanation Pokémon. "Nice job wonder twins. You guys are badass! Criminals will probably think twice about messing with your family!"

When the other kids brought up the subject of a practice match, Devon shook his head before turning around. Pointing a claw at the space next to Celty. "You guys go ahead and have your match. I'm just gonna sit over there and watch while I wait for Spirit. I gotta ask him something really important after he gets done with his buddy." With that, the reptile wandered over and plopped himself on the ground to watch the sparring.

@floodtalon @Polaris North
Well, that was easier than he expected. Now he just had to drop the bombshell of a job he had for them. He spoke into their minds once more. "Good. I'm happy to hear your conviction to aid me. Now, your first job of course. There is a chest behind you, in it are special items that you will need to access the Dungeon you must pass through to reach your target."

The Bisharp stood up from the rock he sat on and looked around, spying the chest off to the side. He walked over to it and opened it without hesitation. "Eh? What are these things?" He asked, holding up some type of gem. The Beartic walked over to his side. "Teleport Gems." Is all he said, taking one himself. The Hippowdon took one as well. "Where are we going that we'd need these old things?" Asked the Machamp as he took one too.

A beam of light lit up the sky, pointing up into the sky. "There is where your target lies. You target is the Pokemon Rayquaza. You must eliminate him for my plans to continue, and for you to receive your next job." The group looked stunned. Rayquaza... the Legendary Pokemon was their target. "You want US to take out THE Rayquaza?! You're Nuts!" He expected this kind of response. "Come now, a Team of a Charmander, Chikorita, and Squirtle managed to defeat him, how could you not?"

He saw those words alone would not be enough. "Ah, of course, I almost forgot. Of course you will be compensated with a pre-payment for the job, and another half of it after the job is done." A flash of light covered the area, and when it cleared, there were now six treasure boxes in the center of the peak. "Each of you is entitled to one of the chests. They all have the equivalent payment within."

The Bisharp was the first to open his chest. And inside was:

• 20 Reviver Seeds and Revival Herbs
• 40 Gold Bars
• 50 Oran Berries and Sitrus Berries
• $5,000.00

"Woah! Okay, now we're talking! This makes the job a lot easier!" The others gathered around, taking their payments from the chests. Ah, that's what it would take, payment. He'd keep this in mind for later. "Once you are prepared, then, use the Teleport Gems to head high into the sky. Defeat Rayquaza and return safely. I'll be waiting."

@Shiny Keldeo @Ninian @Light Lord

Hat

Valiant Village, Sawk and Throh Dojo, Afternoon

Hat continued to hide in Celty’s shadow, trying her best not to be noticed by her. Since the fighting had broken out, she’d just been running alongside the others, trying to keep near them. She didn’t want to get involved in any fights, and neither did they. Common interest is a wonderful thing.

From what she could overhear, not only had there been an actual attack by an outlaw on the town, but it had been the same one she’d chosen, the Scizor. To make matters worse, the Pokemon responsible for defeating him was here...

And he was a Lucario. Hat had expected a ghost type, or maybe even a psychic, but a Lucario? That was bad. Really, really, really bad. Lucario were rumored to be able to read your mind, without you even noticing. They were strong, fast, and clever, and she had no way of defending herself from being mind-read, identified, and locked up. She had to esca-

She couldn’t escape. After an attack like that, town security would be very high. She wouldn’t be able to get out without good reason.

No, she had to hide, somehow. She had to find a way to either conceal or disguise herself to the point that the Lucario wouldn’t be able to invade her mind.

But, how?

@Polaris North@Light Lord@Shiny Keldeo

He cracked a smirk as he heard Zaru's voice behind him reply to the Riolu's, of course he knew he didn't stand alone in this. Now he were more confident than ever and it was quite visible on him as he didn't really try to hide how excited he was. "That makes it two" he corrected as he nodded to Zaru and leaped back away from the Riolu's. He stretched slightly as he braced himself for combat, glanced to his surroundings and made sure there was enough distance in every direction before he shut his eyes to focus for a while then focused on the Riolu twins again. So two fighting types, both Riolu's... their strenght laid at short range but if they could use their Aura sphere now freely they could engage at longer range. They also had type advantage meaning their moves would do double damage if they could land them, which was bad... they would also have higher resistance towards his own Dark type moves.

He also suspected that they would be able to read each other well and fight quite synced compared to himself and Zaru who could only guess what the other would do until they caught each other's rythm. Yet, it was what would make the battle exciting, after all as the old and wise Dojo poké used to say, they could only get better from meeting new challanges and that they would learn nothing if they were given easy tasks. "Okay Devon, your the Judge then... I'm ready... just tell when to start Devon and call if someone's out" he said looking to Zaru. He then Ran straight towards Zaru, high leaped in for a high five and at the last second Transformed into a Chimchar before landing behind him. "Lets do this... " he said with a sly grin before starring at the riolu's.

Zaru the Chimchar

@Iatos@Shiny Keldeo@Light Lord

Indeed, that makes two. Zaru sighed. He got himself into this mess, might as well aim to win it. He took steps back and then went into combat mode. His stance was relaxed yet alert at the same time, instead of placing all of his attention to the twins that were his opponents, he focused everywhere. He looked at Milton to the surrounding things. There were houses but far enough that they wouldn't damage them so long as they would keep away. To the other side was the stream they were playing in earlier and then there was that huge tree. Nothing to use his advantage on. Then again, he couldn't be sneaky since the Riolu twins knew how to sense aura and they could fight him blindfolded, literally.

Then there was the matter of their skillset. Zaru, himself, mostly had close fighting rage. His taunt wouldn't be of much use either since if he was going for a tag team, he needed to know what the other was thinking by reading them, something he could easily do with his brother but with Milton? Not really. These two, as fighting types, would most likely be close ranged fighters too. And it was highly likely that they couldn't use Aura Sphere all the time considering the first time they used it was earlier but he shouldn't rule out that yet.

He then looked back at Milton as he announced that Devon would be the judge. Alright, that's fine with him. Mitlon then ran straight for him and then leaping up for a high five. Zaru then met it with his own hand, smirking as Milton transformed into another Chimchar and then landing behind him. Wait a minute, Rico and Lulu still hasn't mastered the aura reading like their father right? Maybe they still couldn't tell the difference between him and Milton. But that was just his guess, better not act upon that guess yet until he had proved it.

He nodded at the Zorua and then looked back at the twins. "Alright, lets dance." He said at the two.



@Shiny Keldeo

Once the Haunter accepted, The Master talked in their minds once more, directing them to a chest. Special items for them to get through a dungeon to get to their target? When the Bisharp headed for his, Drogo wasn't far behind. When they held up a teleport gem, Drogo took one too, of course. There were only a few places where they actually needed to have a teleport gem to go and those places were hardcore dungeons.

"There is where your target lies. You target is the Pokemon Rayquaza. You must eliminate him for my plans to continue, and for you to receive your next job."

"Huh?" Was the only comment Drogo could say. Defeating the legendary Pokemon Rayquaza huh? Oh, this is getting mighty interesting. He should've expected it to be hard considering that they were promised eternal life which is pretty hard to get. However, the others had quite the different reaction from him. Instead of feeling excited and interested, they looked shocked.

"Come now, a Team of a Charmander, Chikorita, and Squirtle managed to defeat him, how could you not?"

Drogo smiled at that, stifling a laugh. Oh yes, that team. Known far and wide as saviors. Certainly if they could do it, then a group of six well-trained adventurers could surely do something against the pokemon. When he said something about pre-payment, several chests appeared, one for each of them. He quickly made his way to his chest when the others started getting excited. His eyes widened. He never carried this much Revival Seeds and Herbs, Oran Berries and Sitrus Berries, in quite a while, ever since he left the Exploration Guild. Yes, they would manage with this.

He looked at the others and waited for them to use their teleport gems before he would use his.

@Ninian@Empour@Noklu@Shiny Keldeo@Polaris North@Iatos



Devon was called upon to be the judge of this battle, and he met Milton's call with a smirk. "Sure. I could go for a show."

The Totodile watched as the Zorua and Chimchar duo psyched themselves up for the match. Though....The scene reminded Devon of something. It was true that he had been getting an odd vibe of familiarity from Milton and Zaru, but it wasn't until now that it started to really become apparent. That same sort of blank stare came upon the blue reptile's visage. Mouth hanging open slightly. ...This is really weird....If I'm human, er, 'was' human, I must not be from around here....There's only Pokémon....But....It feels like I KNOW Milton and Zaru. I get more vibes from Zaru when I look at him....But Milton's trick with the illusion....I've defiantly seen something like that before...Maybe I should talk to them after too....
