Zarus opinion about being team leader made Milton laugh, he found it quite funny that he basically said that he rather follow than lead. Yet in this case he didn't have much choice as he already had gone ahead and accepted the mission and Milton had joined later. "I see. I suppose a Fellow fire type should be able to handle themselves, my guess is that the Growlith might only be lost... But who knows. Guess I'll keep my eyes out for one" he said and followed Zaru.

He raised a brow just slightly as the Flareon responded to him, he noticed her attempt to hid her thoughts which of course made them only more apparent. But he lowered his ear and walked towards the dungeon. "I see... I guess that means we have to turn every rock we see upside down" he commented as it was true, dwebble had the natural Apperance of a rock shell after all and he had hoped to get a bit of a clue of its size and possible damage, yet the flareon refused to supply them with any details.

Before entering he sensed a Strong psychic presence and smiled as he looked into the sky, he raised an ear again as he easily sent a message to these two fellow psychic types. "welcome my friends. It's been a while" he sent before entering the mystery dungeon. '*click* Guild master Spirit... It seems our guests have arrived. " he sent to spirit. He then focused on the task at hand.

Kargool followed Relay into the mystery dungeon. It was a rather unsettling place actually, even though Kargool could probably take down anything nearby in a very low amount of blows. As he was floating, he just realized that Relay was a Psychic type and how Bug was effective against them. He spoke up about it. "Why did you choose this mission if you're weak to Bug-types?" Kargool didn't mean to be rude, he was just curious.

"I guess so. But if he's been lost in the woods for quite a while without much supplies, he might not last. We're guild-trained, they're not." Zaru reasoned. While he knew that most civilian pokemon knew how to protect themselves, they aren't exactly on par with guild members. They can't really last a long time of being bombarded with aggressive pokemon. That was the main reason why he was so worried about the well being of the Growlithe. Hopefully what Milton said is true. That Growlithe could handle himself well because of his type advantage.

He kept his eyes and ears open for any disturbances. It would be best not to be taken by surprise by any of the aggressive pokemon here. That was his forte anyway.

"Oh... uh, yeah kid food actually sounds pretty good." Thinking for a moment, the Mawile's eyes trailed to the ground. "You know, I'm sure that forest is usually pretty safe, but... after everything that happened yesterday, are you sure going out at night's a good idea? I'd just really hate to see any of you hurt..."

The group started walking, Celty noting her concern about heading into the forest at night. "Nah, those things rarely happen around here, really. The forest itself is usually pretty safe, it's the crevice deeper inside that's dangerous, if you can even use that term for it." Said Rico. "Yeah, we've been going out there for as long as we can remember. Only thing that usually happens is that dad finds out and we get stuck with extra training or something." Said Lulu.

It wasn't long before the group arrived at Slurpuff's Bakery, the twins were first in the door. "Hi Mister Slufpuff!" The twins said, a pink and white Pokemon soon appearing. "Ah, hello Rico, Lulu, how can I help you two today?" Asked Slufpuff. "We need some pastries for lunch up on the Overlook." Said Rico. "Ah, I see. Well then, have a good look at my selection for today. Once you've chosen, come see me at the counter." He said, turning and heading over to a small counter near the door.

"Oh wow, he's got a lot in stock today, what should we get?" Asked Rico. "We've just GOT to get some of these... or... maybe these... Aw, I can't decide either..." Said Lulu. The twins looked over everything more times then they could count, but still couldn't make up their mind on what to buy.

[Valiant Village - Sawk and Throh Dojo]

The couple quickly made their way across town to the Dojo, finding Spirit finally sitting, meditating, and somewhat relaxing after his morning workout. The remains of several more sandbags littered the floor nearby. "Spirit, we've got company, the good kind this time." Omen said with a smile. Spirit nodded. "Yes, I've already gotten the message. I could sense them from here myself." He said, opening his eyes and standing up. "Well, they're sure to be landing in a moment, let's go greet them."

A Few Minutes Later...

Soon the group had made its way to the Valiant Village Guild. The two shapes were now unmistakably familiar to everyone as they landed. "Latios, Latias, it's so good to see you both again." Said Spirit, holding out his hand. The blue Pokemon raised his and shook it. "Master Spirit, it has been a long time, hasn't it? I'm sure my sister would say hello, as well, but as you can see..." He said, motioning to the red Pokemon on his back. "...I told her to get plenty of sleep, but she could sleep a wink last night I guess. Fell asleep halfway here."

Spirit raised up his hand. "It's fine, let's bring her inside and get her a room to finish her nap in. We've got some catching up to do." Said Spirit as the group moved inside. Following behind, Serenity got close to Omen and whispered. "So these are two of the Pokemon you told me about? I think I remember them, but it was so long ago..." She said, Omen smiling and nodding. "Yes, these are two of them. I remember them from a few years back, they made the trip out here for the Eighth Founders Day Festival. Those were good times..." He said as they continued inside.

As the foursome walked along, Rico and Lulu swept aside Celty's worry. Devon piped up, while taking a bit of a cautious glance at his battered form before nodding. "If we're careful, and we stick together, we should be fine Celty. Don't sweat it."

Arriving at the bakery, the small brown spiked Totodile gazed around the small shop and sniffed at the air. Smiling as the scent soon attracted him over to the display counter. "Wow, it smells really good in here. I don't think I've been in many bakeries..." His attention then caught on the undecided confusion of the twin Fighting-types, shrugging as he himself looked over the many options. The croc's brown eyes slowly scanning the pastries as he looked back at the other three. "Uh...I don't have any money, I only have one Poké coin that I found in the river yesterday. Should we just get one Tomato berry loaf? That should be enough for all of us right? We can make sandwiches out of it or something."

Looking over at the Mawile, he frowned. "I know you said you'd pay for us Celty, but I don't wanna break your bank."

@Polaris North

He looked around while they walked, keeping his eyes behind, it seemed like their plan worked seeing as fewer pokemon jumped them as they didn't want to challenge two fire types, however it didn't mean there was no trouble, but usually nothing they couldn't deal with swiftly. "I guess your right about that, and anyone could be brought down eventually from exhaustion. " he commented as they kept going, he hoped they would find the one they was searching for soon.

When Kargool asked why he accepted a mission that he technically was weak against he simply smirked "We can't always pick missions where we have the advantage. These pokemon request help now... And it's our duty to help them no matter how dangerous it is to ourselves. Besides, the Pokémon in this are is in general quite weak making it good for new teams... If we start choosing being picky about missions we in turn is picky over who we choose to help" he said and raised his ears as he started scanning the rocks in the area one by one just in case one would be the crustle... After all, it was difficult to tell their rock shell from the normal rocks.

@Iatos@Shiny Keldeo
"Fair point." Kargool said as he thought about it. If anything, it'll just add a bit of spice to the mission, which was always accepted gladly. Kargool obseved what Relay was doing as he began doing it himself, dropping onto rocks until one popped up as a Dwebble. It's going to be a while before the right rock is found, it seems.

@Iatos@Shiny Keldeo



Zaru walked down the path. This must've been his twelfth time circling the dungeon and they still couldn't find the Growlithe. "Ha, I'm starting to doubt he's in here." He joked before gesturing for Milton to climb up one of the trees. He, himself, climbed up one of the trees in record time. He then surveyed where they were. Yeah, this is familiar. "I'm willing to bet he's still fighting though. If he isn't, well, we should've seen him by now. He's probably running away don't you think Milton?" He looked towards the Zorua, waiting for his input.
