[IC] Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon: Crossroads of Time [Full]

[Light Lord]

Devon the Totodile

[Folio Town - Observation Post]

@Ninian
Devon's eyes went wide as the not-so-hidden truth was revealed, leaning his right arm onto the bench for a second to swing his tiny legs onto the seat with him and stare at the time traveller before him. "Wow....First I get told I'm a human that's supposed to be some sort of legendary war hero, now I find out I'm talking to a literal time traveller! What are you doing in the past then? I doubt it was just to meet me right? I'm not THAT cool."

[Ninian]

Lilisette the Kirlia

[Folio Town - Observation Post]

@Light Lord
Taking a seat once more, the Kirlia placed a hand onto her cheek. Letting out a sigh, she shook her head, "I mean, you're probably that cool, but... no I'm not some creepy fangirl stalker or something. Um, I just happened upon some weird thing that sent me to the past. I figure since I'm already here, I should probably save my dad from dying. Sooo... that's pretty much it.

[Light Lord]

Devon the Totodile

[Folio Town - Observation Post]

@Ninian
Large brown eyes going even wider once again, Devon blinked a bit as he crossed his arms. "Well uh...That's pretty brave of you Lilisette. Coming back to save your Dad and all. Is that the thing you mentioned wanting me to help you with earlier? How are you supposed to do it?"

[Ninian]

Lilisette the Kirlia

[Folio Town - Observation Post]

@Light Lord
"Ding, ding ding! You guessed it! Yeah... uh, I don't really know. According to my mother, he perished in one of the Mist Continent's dungeons. So... I guess I just need to figure out WHICH dungeon, and ... go there?" Hanging her head, the Kirlia let out a dejected sigh, "I don't even know where he is. Like, at all."

[Shiny Keldeo]

Breeze the Shaymin

[Folio Town - Town Square]

@Ninian @Lucius Cypher
With Robel finally being taken away by the Town Healer, Leanne the Meganium now turned her attention to searching out her now missing daughter. She was always so shy and easily hurt by a few simple words.

Breeze, on the other hand, was greatly intrigued by this "Guildmaster Glyph". She wondered what he was like, what kind of Pokemon they were even. She'd seen quite a few interesting Guildmasters during her travels, one of the most perplexing being Wigglytuff of the Treasure Town Guild. "Oh, yes, just a second." She said, quickly breaking off and heading back into The Blue Treeko.

She picked up her previously ordered meal, taking note that the Lampent, Veronica she thought it was, seemed to have vanished. She didn't have a second thought, though. Ghost types generally kept to themselves, and tended to disappear from time to time. She wouldn't worry about it, she had more important things to worry about. She quickly returned to the Umbreon's side. "Alright, now I'm ready. I had to get my food, after all." She said, holding a small bag in one hand, grabbing out a few pieces of the Oran Berry Salad with the other. She delicately munched on the small pieces of salad as she floated alongside the Umbreon.

"I really am sorry about... all that back there. I really haven't been myself, that's kind of another reason I came out here. Start fresh, try to find a new perspective on life or something like that." She admitted.

Selena the Bayleef and Ember the Quilava

[Folio Town - Near Observation Post]

@Ninian @Light Lord
Strolling along the branches, the duo were coming up on the main town of Folio when they spotted two Pokemon in the Observation Post. One they had both seen back at the scene of Robel the Heliolisk, a Totodile that neither had really known or seen before. "You know something, Selena? That Totodile actually stood up for you back there. I heard him yelling at Bruce after I took off after you." Said Ember, looking at the two of them. "I've never seen that Kirlia though, I think she came in after I left or something."

The two were still our of earshot of the duo in the Observation Post. "Should I... thank him? I don't know..." Ember smiled and pointed in the direction of the two. "I think so. And don't worry, I'll be with you. Just relax." Ember replied. Selena nodded nervously and the two approached the two. They caught bits of the chat, but couldn't understand what they were talking about as they hadn't caught the main context of the conversation.

"Excuse me, I... I wanted to thank you. Ember said you... you stood up for me back there. No one's really done that for me before... so... thank you..." She stuttered, looking over to Ember, who helped ease her nervousness with a smile.

[Light Lord]

Devon the Totodile

[Folio Town - Observation Post]

@Ninian@Shiny Keldeo
An undecided frown came upon Devon's face as Lilisette relayed her non-informative plan. Looking away for a moment at the vast sandy dunes past the gazebo's railing and far below the large tree of Folio he sighed. "I don't really have a clue either. 'Mist Continent'? You probably know this world way better than me, so you'd need to fill me in on where everything is, but..."

Turning back to the shiny Kirlia, he edged a bit closer in his seat and set a clawed hand on her shoulder. Giving the traveller a small reassuring smile. "...I bet we can find him if we look hard enough. I promise I'll do everything I can to help you save your Dad Lilisette."

A very quiet, timid voice then spoke up behind the Totodile. Devon looked back over his shoulder and spun around in his seat to face the newcomer. Actually, there was two of them. A rather skittish looking Bayleef and smiling Quilava. Seeing the two faces that he slightly recognized from earlier, the Water-type smiled wider and gave a dismissive wave. "No problem. I just can't really stand Pokémon like that Hitmontop dude. I had to say something. You really don't come off as a bad Pokémon, you don't deserve to be made fun of."

Hopping off the bench, Devon pointed to himself, then to the Psychic Fairy he was with. "I'm Devon, and she's Lilisette. What're your names?"

[Ninian]

Lilisette the Kirlia

[Folio Town - Observation Post]

@Light Lord@Shiny Keldeo
A small appreciative smile crossed the Kirlia's lips at Devon's promise. Words were about to escape her lips when two others approached them. Figuring it was likely not the best idea to divulge everything in front of strangers, she kept herself quiet and watched as the trio interacted.

She was entirely out of the loop as it were.

Karaha the Umbreon

[Folio Town - Town Square]

@Lucius Cypher@Shiny Keldeo
Once the Shaymin returned with her meal, the Umbreon tilted his head, "You do not need to apologize for anything. That said, I do hope you find what you seek."

A small voice cut through the wind, and the Umbreon paused, turning around to see a small Aron approaching at a hastened pace. With furrowed brows he flashed an apologetic smile, "I did not think this was going to be quite the... event it was. It is all settled now, at the very least." Twisting his maw into a small frown he continued, "I do hope you were able to finish your meal. If not, we can always go back."

With both the Shaymin and Aron in tow, Karaha made his way to Glyph's Guild.

[Folio Town - Glyph's Guild]

Nudging the door open with his muzzle, he held the door open with his body to allow the others to enter. The Guild was a rather large guild, or at least larger than one might expect from such a remote town. There was hustle and bustle of members going back and forth with chores and the like, but no immediate sign of Glyph. "I do believe he should be in his study... it's...the staircase to the left, if I'm not mistaken?"

[Shiny Keldeo]

Selena the Bayleaf and Ember the Quilava

[Folio Town - Observation Platform]

@Ninian @Light Lord
Ember heard how he talked about Bruce. She had to say, from first appearances, yes, he was like that. But he wasn't bad at the heart, he was just misguided. "Bruce. That's the Hitmontop that said those things. He's not by any means a bad Pokemon, he just doesn't understand Pokemon like Selena. I've been trying to change his views, but... it's gotten on my last nerve." She said, causing the flames on her back to flicker a bit, not igniting fully. "It would be fully his mistake if he breaks that nerve, last one who did that I accidentally put in the medical hut for a few days... I won't go into detail."

She then realized she had completely ignored the young Kirlia. "I'm sorry, nice to meet you Lilisette. You look around our age, am I right?" She asked. It was rare to see an oddly colored Pokemon, especially in these parts. Well, there was Karaha, but he lived here. Alright, it's rare to have an oddly colored Pokemon come to Folio. "My name's Ember, by the way." She finished.

"I'm... Selena..." Said the Bayleaf shyly. She stayed mostly quiet after that. She barely got out what she said before. And with this new Pokemon here too, she was surprised she wasn't shaking already.

Breeze the Shaymin

[Folio Town - Glyph's Guild]

@Ninian
The Umbreon led her to a massive building. Well, massive in comparison to the rest of the town. They ventured deeper inside, finding Pokemon hard at work everywhere. "This reminds me so much of Wigglytuff's Guild in Treasure Town, everyone looking happy and getting their work done." Looking around, she noticed the staircase that the Umbreon had pointed out. Then she realized something.

"So... what's Guildmaster Glyph like? What kind of Pokemon is he? I can wait and see for myself, but I'm just so curious." Now that she knew there was a Guild here, she thought maybe she could really start anew. Her time in Treasure Town is a time she'll cherish, so if this was anything like it, she was all for it.

[Ninian]

Lilisette the Kirlia

[Folio Town - Observation Post]

@Light Lord@Shiny Keldeo
The young Kirlia had lost focus; at least until she was addressed. Perking up, Lilisette looked over the newcomers. "It's nice to meet you both! To answer your question, yeah, I'm probably about your age." Flushing slightly she continued, "I'm sure it's obvious, but I'm not from here. Oh, and sorry to hear about your friend, too."

Looking around, she then faced the other two, "Soooo uh, I'm not too late for the traveling dance troupe, right? Like, they didn't come yet?" They have not come yet.

Karaha the Umbreon

[Folio Town - Glyph's Guild]

@Lucius Cypher@Shiny Keldeo
"Treasure Town... I have not been there in quite some time. Years, in fact. Their guild is, I would say, one of the best in the world, if not the best. Well, I suppose that's off-topic..." Trailing off, he would make his way towards the staircase, "Glyph is a Flygon, and quite the intellectual. A trait we both have in common."

[Light Lord]

Devon the Totodile

[Folio Town - Observation Post]

@Ninian@Shiny Keldeo

Devon reeled and leaned back onto his tail awkwardly when the Quilava mentioned her....History, with Pokémon that had broken her limits and upset her. "Ooook. I'll uh....Try not to get on your nerves then."

When the two children introduced themselves as Ember and Selena, Devon grinned and waved at the two of them. Keeping quiet as Ember seemed to hit it off with Lilisette. The Totodile stood up straighter as his eyes drifted over to the Bayleef that was also keeping to herself, a a thought crossed his mind. She is really shy.....I won't bug her for now....But you can't just keep quiet like that all the time...Wonder if we can help her with that?

Half listening to the conversation between the two girls, the Pokémon once human caught an interesting tid bit. Devon turned his head to look over at Lilisette still sitting on the tree limb bench and tilt it. "There's a dance troupe that passes through here? That'd be cool to see. Is there like, Fire-types in it that do the whole thing with the spinning torches?"

"I think there's one Fire-type with em, but I doubt they'd do their whole routine at the top of a giant tree."

A very deep, gravely voice spoke up from seemingly out of nowhere to answer Devon's question. The small Water-type was left with a confused expression as he tried to locate the source of the voice. Soon enough his eyes settled on a very tall Pokémon standing just off to the side of the gazebo. Their appearance concealed by a large, ragged brown poncho complete with a hood overshadowing their face. The mystery figure leaned their right shoulder against one of the rooted support posts of the platform as their arms seemed to shift under their cloak. "Sorry I just kinda cut in there. Haven't been out and about in awhile, so my social skills are a bit rusty. I'll quit bugging ya in a sec, but if you wanna catch that dance troupe...." A clawed hand slowly came out from under the dirty cloth, and shot a thumb to the left down a set of stairs. "....They usually show up in the plaza later in the day. Shouldn't be too long now til they make an appearance. If ya miss em this time, don't sweat it. Pyrrha and her gang usually stay a day or two in town since it's such a pain in the ass to drag themselves across the desert and get through the trunks dungeon all in one go."

Devon smiled at the anonymous newcomer, and snapped his claws at them. "Hey, thanks for the info dude. I'm guessing you live around here?"

The figure visibly shook their head as they stood back to their full height. Their form towering over all four of the kids as they turned around to stomp towards the stairs. However, they stopped at the top of the chiselled steps to look over their shoulder at the group one last time. "...If you kids are autograph hunting, you'd better be quick though. Troupes leader gets flogged with crazy fans all the time. But like I said, they don't show up til later."

And like that, the cloaked mon disappeared as fast as they had came. Strolling down the stairs with what seemed like no care in the world.

[Shiny Keldeo]

Selena the Bayleaf and Ember the Quilava

[Folio Town - Observation Platform]

@Ninian @Light Lord
This Lilisette girl seemed nice enough, it was always good to have another kid like this around town. Although by all appearances the town was almost a paradise, there was a lot of trouble brewing with the younger generation. When she mentioned the dancing troupe, Ember was about to respond when the stranger appeared behind them.

Selena nearly lost it, of all things someone could do to scare the timid grass type, silently sneaking up behind them and then speaking up out of nowhere was near the top of it. If this was a normal day, she probably would have taken off running at this point, but she had a friend with her. Although she had a bit of a temper, she was still her friend. Her first real friend. She felt stronger just by being near her, but that didn't stop her from shaking all over or being completely freaked out.

Ember saw this, placing her paw on Selena's, trying to comfort her a bit. Finally the cloaked figure departed, and Selena breathed somewhat of a sigh of relief. She looked over to the others apologetically. "Sorry... growing up the way I did... I'm not good with surprises either..." Ember looked over to her new friend. "You don't have to be sorry about who you are. Everyone's the way they are for a reason, although some reasons I haven't figured out yet..." She said, somewhat making a reference to Bruce.

"That was very sudden though... I even jumped a bit when whoever that was started talking... but yeah, that dancing troupe, I've seen it a few times. It wasn't exactly my taste, but I've never been one for those kind of performances personally." Selena looked over towards the Town Square. "I've never actually seen it... I tended to avoid Town Square whenever possible up until recently... but it sounds nice."

Breeze the Shaymin

[Folio Town - Glyph's Guild]

@Ninian @Lucius Cypher
So he was a Flygon... interesting. Well, it would make sense, being where they were. She'd heard that Flygon were sometimes called the Spirits of the Desert back in the ancient times. And he was intellectual... she wasn't too sure what he meant by that. Anyone could be intellectual, but there were different degrees. You had your Dungeon Researchers, those who were smart in their field but could hold themselves in a battle. Then there were flat out Bookworms, those who've read about dungeons and knew everything about them but had never set foot in one. She would expect the first, considering it took great strength to earn the title of Guildmaster.

"Sounds like a really nice guy, can't wait to meet him. That is, if he's here of course." She said, having seen no sign of the Flygon Guildmaster yet. Karaha was leading her and Gren towards a staircase up to a set of doors it looked like. He said it was Glyph's Study. Maybe he really was the bookworm type...

[Ninian]

Lilisette the Kirlia

[Folio Town - Observation Post]

@Light Lord@Shiny Keldeo
The mysterious arrival caused Lilisette some distress. His information was useful, and she was grateful, but if he had been around when she spoke earlier... It was anxiety-inducing, to say the least.

Though uncomfortable, the Kirlia did her best to smile and nod as the stranger continued. Finally, she twirled around with a big smile, "Thank you for all the information! I can't wait to meet them! It'll be sooo cool."

Leaving as soon as he finished his words, Lilisette was left staring blankly. Turning to Devon she furrowed her brows, "Sooooo... he wasn't like standing there this whole time right? Eep. I mean, I'm glad he was here to say something, but..." Taking a deep breath she allowed herself to fall to the ground in a seated position.

With her gaze focused on Ember, she tilted her head, "You don't like watching dance performances? Really? Well... uh..." Letting out a small grunt, she then looked to both Selena and Devon, "When they arrive, wanna come watch them with me? No pressure or anything, it's just nice to have company."

Karaha the Umbreon

[Folio Town - Glyph's Guild]

@Lucius Cypher@Shiny Keldeo
A wide smile crossed his maw as Karaha looked over his shoulder at the Shaymin, "He is quite lovely, in fact! If I were one for dungeon exploration, I would have joined this guild a very long time ago, but alas."

Once they reached the top of the staircase, the Umbreon nudged the doors open with his nose. The double doors opened into a large library that also very obviously doubled as some sort of private study.

[Light Lord]

Devon the Totodile

[Folio Town - Observation Post]

@Ninian@Shiny Keldeo
Devon watched as the stranger strolled out of view down the stair case, attention being brought back to Lilisette once she asked him a very wise question. The Totodile frown as he shook his head and shrugged at the Kirlia. "Uh...I didn't hear or see him walk up. I don't think he was spying on us that whole time....Hopefully hes not THAT creepy...."

Devon crossed his arms and checked back down the stairs that their visitor from earlier had gone down. There was no trace of the large cloaked creature at all. When not much to look at, Devon looked over at Lilisette once again when asked if he wanted to go with her and watch the dance troupe. A warm smile crossed the blue crocs maw. "Sure! I'll defiantly come watch em with ya. I don't really know what we can do in the meantime though..." Straining his face in thought for a moment, he then spoke. "I guess we can go hang out in the plaza until they show up? It looks like a place where there's alot to do. How about that?"

Glyph the Flygon

[Folio Town - Glyph's Guild]

@Ninian@Shiny Keldeo@Lucius Cypher
In the center of the vast semi-circular room was a large rectangular pine wood desk. Behind it in a tall cushioned chair sat the Guildmaster himself. The Flygon was hunched over the desk, a tiny bottle of black ink just off to his left as one of his claws dipped in the substance scratched away at a sheet of paper underneath it. His large shielded eyes burning into the paper with intense focus as he mumbled to himself. "I do hope I have it all in order.....Hm...Then perhaps I should..."

The dragon's antennae twitched as the creak of the heavy double doors caused his head to turn up from his writing. Glyph seemed to visibly relax as he leaned into the back rest of his chair with a smile. "Oh hello there Karaha. And to you as well Gren. And...." The pleasant smile seemed to grow even more so when the Mystic Pokémon took notice of the Shaymin among the trio. Glyph pushed his chair out from his desk to walk around it to the edge of the room. Properly greeting his guests with a formal bow and claws behind his back. Standing tall the Flygon turned to the newcomer of the town with a kind light reflecting in his red lens. "I do not believe we've met. It's truly a rarity to see a Shaymin in this part of the world. I am Glyph, master of this fine Exploration Guild. What is your name?"

[Shiny Keldeo]

@Ninian @Light Lord @Lucius Cypher

Breeze the Shaymin

[Folio Town - Glyph's Guild]

Breeze was a little caught off guard by this Pokemon. He had an air of seriousness that she'd never really seen before. He had the looks of a seasoned adventurer, but spoke as if he was a sophisticated resident of somewhere like Lively Town. He seemed... one of a kind. "Oh, Um... My name's Breeze, nice to meet you Guildmaster Glyph. And, yes, I can kind of see why my kind don't like it out here. It is a beautiful place, in it's own way though."

She looked around the room, taking great notice in the number of books around the room. She'd never seen this many books in one place ever! She'd never seen anyone quite like him.

Fuse the Luxio

[Folio Town - Glyph's Guild]

Another day, another false request. He'd had a bad luck string of those this week. So far, over half of the requests he'd gone on ended up being dead ends, as in the Pokemon who sent the request either wasn't there, or the item they wanted wasn't there, or the outlaw he was after had gotten wise and bailed. He sighed as he entered the guild, he knew the Guildmaster wouldn't be mad, but he was even more disappointed in himself.

He moved through the guild, keeping his outer appearance somewhat upbeat, but once out of sight of his guildmates he fell back into his downcast expression. He rose up the stairs to the Guildmaster's study, eyes closed, and entered the chambers. "Guildmaster Glyph, I'm sorry to report that my mission was a failure again..." He started, opening his eyes he noticed he was not the only one in the room. "Oh, I'm so sorry! I didn't know you had company..." He said, immediately backing up a bit.

Selena the Bayleaf and Ember the Quilava

[Folio Town - Observation Platform]

Selena was a little hesitant on the subject of returning to the plaza. Usually, after she would be run out of the plaza, she'd just spend the rest of the day around the outskirts, often near the entrance to Folio Trunk. But after what happened to Mr. Robel, she was just about out of options. Plus... this Lilisette girl seemed really nice, it would be completely rude to refuse her request. "I'll go, as long as I don't have to go alone..." She said, looking over to Ember, who sighed. "Sure, why not? It might be better going with a friend or two, who knows?" She replied.

Selena beamed hearing this, looking over to the others. "Whenever you're all ready." She said, finally in a somewhat steady voice, having a kind of twinkle in her eye that Ember hadn't seen before, making her smile. "Well, who's leading the way? I can if you want." She said, looking over the group. She'd never seen the Totodile or the Kirlia before today, leading her to believe they hadn't been to Folio before. And Selena, although she seemed a bit more confident, she felt like she wasn't willing to take the lead on this one.

[Light Lord]

Glyph the Flygon

[Folio Town - Glyph's Guild]

@Ninian@Shiny Keldeo@Lucius Cypher
Closing his eyes and tilted his head a bit, Glyph leaned in. "Breeze, a lovely name! Welcome to Folio Town. Even if it is not the most favourable location for your species, I hope you enjoy your time here."

With the introduction given, Glyph cleared his throat and stood back up straight. Eyes opening back up to gaze upon the rest of the trio, he opened his mouth to speak when another guest made their way through the wood double doors. It was Ligero, or rather Fuse as he had taken to be called. The sight of the lone Luxio and his message of another quest failed was enough to cause the Flygon to visibly deflate. Antennae and wings drooping down behind him as he held up a hand to halt the lion. "Oh dear...It's quite alright Fuse. You're not intruding. If you wish to stay until after I have addressed these folks concerns, I will be happy to talk with you about your recent difficulties."

Glyph's features then seemed to harden into a sort of stern expression. "However, I want you to know that I believe what ever it is that may have caused your mission failure is not you fault. You are still a very valuable member of this Guild, and your previous work has proven that. Do not be hard on yourself, for there is no point in it."

Clearing his throat once again, the Guildmaster flashed the trio in front of him a pleasant smile. "Now, is there anything I can do for you three?"

[Lucius Cypher]

Gren

Location: Folio Town - Guild Hall
Activity: Watching what's happening

Gren just sorta followed along everyone else, a bit lost at what was happening. While he hasn't exactly abandoned his quest, he didn't feel that now was a good time to interject and mention to everyone what he wanted to do. As the party moved about, he noticed that they where heading to the guild hall. Gren never really hung out here, though he did at least know the guild leader. Hard not to, the flygon was practically a leader of the community, or at least one that's easiest to access. Gren never had the pleasure of talking to the dragon himself, though his mother occasionally visits for some reason. Still, this was a good opportunity for Gren. He wasn't sure why everyone else was here, but now that he was at the guild Gren was certain he could finally get some help exploring the lower trunk.

Of course he had to get up the stairs first. Gren preferred gentle slopes as his body was ill suited for climbing stairs, and his heavy weight made it a bit hard for him to keep up with the others. Eventually however he managed to catch up, just in time to see the guild master. His name was Glyph, a flygon who oversaw all the jobs and such for the guild. He pretty much knew everyone but Breeze, who was a newcomer anyways. Soon another pokemon arrived, someone named Fuse who apparently failed his mission. Gren didn't know the pokemon, but he looked strong. He wondered what caused him to fail his mission, but quickly turned his attention back to Glyph when he asked why they were all there. Speaking only for himself, Gren stepped forward.

"I need to head into Folio's lower trunk! There's someone I need to find, but I can't go alone. I'm not strong enough..."

@Ninian@Light Lord@Shiny Keldeo

[Ninian]

Karaha the Umbreon

[Folio Town - Glyph's Guild]

@Lucius Cypher@Shiny Keldeo@Light Lord
Once introductions were made, Karaha's head lowered as he averted his gaze. "...It's been a while Glyph, and I do wish this visit would have been for a more joyous reason. Robel has been badly injured, and is under the care of Rhys. I do not know for certain why, however..."

Throwing a glance at Gren, the Umbreon let out a soft sigh. "I truly do not recommend traveling to the lower trunk at this time. There's... it's.. truly quite dangerous, I cannot express that enough."

Lilisette the Kirlia

[Folio Town - Observation Post]

@Light Lord@Shiny Keldeo
With a fist pump, Lilisette cheered, "Thanks everyone! This should be a lot of fun. I do hope they arrive soon, I'm pretty sure they're scheduled to arrive today. Don't quote me though! Anyway, if you don't mind leading us... Ember, right? That'd be cool. I'm not super familiar with the area."

[Light Lord]

Glyph the Flygon

[Folio Town - Glyph's Guild]

@Ninian@Shiny Keldeo@Lucius Cypher
Glyph's head turned to look down at the little Aron, giving Gren a small nod. "That can be easily arranged Gren. I'll send a team of our members out to escort you shortly."

Karaha began to speak, and the words that came from the Umbreon's mouth caused the Flygon's eyes to widen. A gasp escaping his mouth. "Robel is hurt!? Oh....Oh dear." Looking down at the floor he shook his head. "That fool...I told him to bring a partner. I don't understand why he would not....Perhaps because he assumed that the mission would be simple, and that having another party member would be unnecessary? That would be very unwise...."

Looking back to Karaha with his glossy domed eyes, Glyph bit his lip. "...Any Mystery Dungeon is dangerous, for one can never know in advance what they may encounter. There's requests going in and out of this Guild every hour, many of them pertaining to exploring Folio's Trunk. Though it would be impossible for me to halt all travel inside of it, I can warn the townsfolk to refrain from entering the Roots for now. Other than that mission I had Robel go on, I know there are no requests currently that ask for travel there. Unless..."

The Guildmasters vision slowly panned back to Gren. "...That is where you want to go Gren. I do hope that you were not planning to travel into the Roots of Folio. It must be a very good reason for me to allow a non-experienced Pokémon down there even with assistance from a member."

[Shiny Keldeo]

Breeze the Shaymin and Fuse the Luxio

[Folio Town - Glyph's Guild]

@Ninian @Light Lord @Lucius Cypher
Breeze and Fuse remained fairly silent during the whole conversation. Every time Breeze heard of the Folio Trunk, it seemed to sound more and more dangerous. Then she remembered the injuries she'd seen done to the Heliolisk earlier. "I'm inclined to agree with Glyph on this, Gren. I've only seen injuries like those on... Robel... once before. A Salamence had gone on a complete rampage, it was really tragic... details aside, I don't think it's safe to go down there myself."

Fuse looked over at the Shaymin. He'd heard of them, but never seen one before. This one had a strong spirit, for sure. Then he realized what the Guildmaster had mentioned before. "You see... that's something I wanted to talk about too. It's not just me who's been experiencing this. I talked with some of the others, and we seem to have been getting a lot of phony requests lately, it's really strange." Breeze looked over to him.

"Phony requests? What do you mean?" She asked. "Well, we've been getting some really strange requests lately. They don't show a name, just a location. When we get there, there's no one or nothing there. It's quite irritating to say the least, it's preventing us from getting to those who actually need help." He growled, obviously agitated. Breeze was shocked, what kind of low life would put in a fake mission request? Really, who would go so low?

Ember the Quilava and Selena the Bayleaf

[Folio Town - Observation Post]

@Ninian @Light Lord
"You got it right, girl. They usually like to set up right in the center of town. And, like that... whoever it was... said, they won't show up for a bit. So, I could probably show you around, all the different shops and places here in town." She moved to head into town, with the others right behind her, Selena especially close.

[Folio Town - Town Square]

It didn't take long to arrive back in Town Square, and it was easy to see everything there was in the town from there. "Now, we have quite a few regular sights here that you may have seen before: Hawlucha's Slam School, it's not everywhere, but it's fairly popular. Kecleon Market, those things literally ARE everywhere. Klefki over there will open up Treasure Boxes for you." She pointed to each individual shop and continued. "Over there is Cofagrigus' Glorious Gold shop. He's kinda freaky, but he's got some great trades if you bring him some Gold Bars." She turned towards up town.

"Up there you'll find the Blue Treeko Inn, beyond that is a Guild run by Glyph the Flygon, he's amazing! But WAY beyond that is the home of a Pokemon named Sybil. I don't even know much about 'em, whoever he or she is, they don't come down very often it seems." She continued turning. "Back the way we came is the Observation Post you were at, as well as some housing and windmills. Beyond that, not much. Some Pokemon live out there though, they like the seclusion." She completed her circle by turning once more. "Then that way is the path into the Folio Trunk, probably one of the easiest ways up to Folio from the ground besides flying. And that's my tour... It's my first time actually doing this, so I probably lost you a lot didn't I..."

Selena perked up hearing this. "I understood it all, partially because I already live here, but you summed up everything pretty well." She replied, giving a small smirk, making Ember smile. After all Selena had been through, she was happy to see her smile out here. "Well, not much left that I can think of, guess we just wait now."

Gren

Location: Folio Town - Guild Hall
Activity: Talking to the others

Gren looked at everyone. They all seemed like they didn't want him to go down. But he had to. He must. And if it was as dangerous as they said it was, all the more reason they needed to go soon. The person he was looking for was in the Folio Trunk, and if something happened to her... He wouldn't know what to do. "I have to head down there. There... There's a pokemon down there who knows where to find my parents." Gren turned his head towards Karaha. "My real parents. I don't know what happened to them, but I'm told there's a pokemon who lives down in the lower trunks who could tell me. So I need to find her and hear what she has to so. But if it's as dangerous as you say, then she might be in danger too! And if something happens to her, I won't ever be able to find out who my parents are! I need your help. No... I want to make a mission request! Take me to the lower trunk and help find this pokemon! I'll pay whatever I have to." Gren then reached into the bag onto his back and tossed out the 10,000 pokedollars that Masha had paid him. Then Gren slammed his head onto the floor, trying to bow despite his stubby legs.

"Please, I'm begging you! Help me find out who my parents are!"
