[IC] Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Void

[Absol]

Glass wearily stepping into Allure Town, her steps tired as she forced her paws to move forwards, her muscles straining with the effort. She'd been travelling for weeks! Okay, maybe not weeks, but days at least, and her feet were sore as all hell. Letting out a sigh, she forced herself to stand tall and proud. She had made it to Allure Town, and now she could finally sign up an an adventurer! But first, she needed a rest. Her dark crimson gaze looked upwards towards the sky in habit. The stars were more visible here then they were at her old clan, and she marveled in watching them for a bit, before someone tapping her shoulder brought her to her senses with a start.

"Ah! Oh, hi - you startled me." She said, looking over at the vaporeon that was standing next to her. It had a badge of sorts on a bag that was strapped around it's arm, and it had a jolteon beside it. The two of them looked at Glass curiously and the Disaster Pokemon grew hot under her fur. "Uh... Hello?" Sheesh, if I'd of known that Allure Town's welcome was an awkward staring contest, I'd of gone to Treasure To-

"Hi there! I'm Vapor and this is my partner Jolt! We're recruits in Arnold's Guild, which means we're explorers! Nice to meet you miss..?" Glass was brought out of her thoughts by the vaporeon suddenly blurting out a hello and an introduction, before asking for her name. This time it was Glass's turn to stare. Did that really just happen? She thought awkwardly, before nodding politely to the water type.

"Um, nice to meet you Vapor... I'm Glass."
"Oh! Glass! What a nice name! Say are you here to join the guild? You should! It'd be so fun!"
"O-Okay... Is the guild where I sign up to be an adventurer?"
"Oh yes yes! You can do that too!"
"Could you point me in the direction please..?"
"Of course! Straight ahead till you get to the shop - that's the one with the Zwelious - then take the next right and you're there!"

Glass said her thanks to the odd pair and started walking, looking around for the shop that had the Zwelious, scanning around her. She soon spotted the stall where there probably would be a shop and continued walking, taking the first right she found. She came up to a large building that was shaped very much like a wigglytuff's head. She decided against going in at that exact moment, instead going to wait for the day. She left the entrance and walked away, before resuming her bored walking, hoping to memorized the town to as not to get lost.

"Hiya, I'm with Terra and the rest of her group." Hex said, following up after the rest of the team had gotten their keys, glancing at them as they slimed or floated up the stairs. "Of course you are." The Grovyle replied, a wide grin on it's face, placing a key inscribed with 253 on it. She stared at it awkwardly for a second, reflecting on the fact that she had no hands, before the Grovyle decided to just throw it into her bag over the counter. She thanked them and began her ascent upstairs.

The first floor was a complete mess. Mold grew on the corners of the walls, and actually covered some of the doorways. Tiles were unhinged and some were flown across the room, and dirt spattered the unruly floor in various patterns of pokemon footprints and the like. Hex had never seen something so completely messy and disgusting, and the smell was absolutely awful. As if someone had recently dumped a dead body in there. She gagged before quickly fluttering to the next floor.

The next floor was not at all as bad as the first. It still retained plenty of dirt smeared across the the floor and the lower parts to the wall. Some fresh vegetation flourished in the corners and cracks in the ceiling, some low hanging vines even reaching out to touch any passerby who had the misfortune to come on by. Several pokemon stood around, mostly fire types who lazily blew puffs of smoke from their mouths, along with some slight floating embers. Hex coughed as she flew up to the next.

The next was completely different from the first and the second. The walls appeared to be made out of pure gold, and the tiles seemed just like it. Must've taken at least a hundred Persians paydaying to produce this much gold. Hex thought to herself, staring around at the luxurious halls. She awkwardly fumbled with the key for a second, working hard to try to shove it into the key lock, until she eventually settled on just biting it and opening up the door.

Almost immediately, Hex collapsed into a bed, feeling the wears and tears of the day in the city sliding off of her. Eventually she began to fade into a deep sleep, her bag lying perpendicular to her.

((OOC: I'm assuming we time skipped to day))

Glass opened her eyes and stifled a yawn. She stretched and shook out her fur, taking a look around her. She was on a beach, a small hollow dug out around her. She hadn't even remembered falling asleep. Oh well. It's daylight now at least. I can go to that guild! She thought happily, filling in the hollow and shaking some more stray grains of sand from her white coat. She yawned and shook her head to clear her thoughts, stretching once more as she trotted off towards where she remembered Allure Town was.

She climbed up the small cliff, her paws gliding across the stone with practiced precision. She bounded up the rock with great balance, before jumping up onto the edge of the rock known as Sharpedo Bluff. She had come down this way the other day, and she had a fairly good knowledge of the area. She walked past the Kangaskhan storage shop and trotted off towards the center of Treasure Town, her dark crimson eyes scanning the signs that pointed to the nearby towns and dungeons. She turned left towards Allure Town and increased her trot to a slow-ish jog as she went along, hoping to make Allure Town rather quickly. Her hopes were granted as she saw the town coming into view. Increasing her speed, Glass ran towards the town, before slowing down rather quickly with a skidding halt as she turned to the Guild entrance. Stepping onto the grid, Glass stood tall, her dark red eyes looking ahead with glee. She was going to become an adventurer!

[FyreFenix]

After, to my surprise a dreamless night I awoke quickly and flew towards a wall. After encountering a swift pain on my head I get up and blink. 'First one up I assume.' I think to myself as I look out the window. Seeing the light pouring in I look around the room to find Ratnika still sleeping lying against the wall. I pull out a piece of paper and begin to scribble on it. "Going outside for some fresh air." after I am done writing down the note I place it close to Ratnika and walk outside the room. After walking down the hallway and seeing multiple drowsy pokemon, I make my way to the front door of the guild and head outside.

Walking forward and thinking to myself I begin to wonder what sort of things will happen today. Looking at the ground I don't realize that there was a pokemon right in front of me. Bumping into it I look up and begin to apologize. Before me I see an Absol with a white orb imbedded in its head. "Sorry about that. I wasn't watching where I was going." I tell the Absol. Bowing my head again I say sorry once more and take a step to the side. "I'm Ven by the way." I tell the Absol politely and I bow my head in greeting. "Whats your name?" I ask the Absol.

[Absol]

Glass heard sounds coming from the inside the guild, and before long there was a small eevee walking out of the guild, looking down at the ground, watching it's steps - and it bumped right into her. It was very apologetic in it's hasty introduction, telling her that it's name was Ven. Glass smiled slightly. "Hi there Ven, I'm Glass. Is this where one would go to sign up as an adventurer?" She asked, peeking inside the guild to see pokemon of all shapes and sizes. Her heart raced in excitement, and she could feel a bouncy energy build up as she looked inside the guild and at the boards. This would be one fun ass adventure in itself.

Ugh... now I wish I actually had money... I think as I get out of my bed, which, now that I could see it, looked horrible. Even though I was awake, I still felt sleepy, unfortunately. I yawn as I head out the door, and into the mess that was the ground floor of the hotel. I guess you really do get what you pay for... I then think as I carefully avoid the mold on the floor and head back to the desk. The two behind the desk seemed as energetic as usual, however, they looked the other way when they saw me. I almost heard one mutter "Well, you get what you pay for... don't sue us..." I would have said something, but, I was a little too tired to put my thoughts into words at this time. I also had somewhere to be, and I also had a criminal to catch here in town... no, not these guys, who should consider actually cleaning the lower floors, and doing whatever they need to in order to let that happen... there was someone else out there, someone who was the source of my frustration. I open the door to see the bright, blue sky, and nearly feel blinded for a second. My eyes adjust to the sun, and I start my search. Apparently, word was getting around about some hero by the name of 'Shadowlight'... how odd, but, it didn't stop me. I started my search at the dojo, which was really more of a way for me to spend the rest of my money... you know, just to make sure I didn't end up back in that hotel, again... well, that and hopefully, this would give me a way to calm myself down, as I was still frustrated from yesterday's little goose chase. The building itself looked a little strange, as it seemed to have a cube shape as if it were a standard building, and not one of the 'important' buildings. The structure itself was made of reeds, some of which were painted blue or red. It was a sharp contrast to the other buildings, which almost looked as if they came from the future. I went inside, and was greeted by a very battle-torn garchomp. He seemed to have scars and cuts all over his body, and yet, despite having giant gashes on both of his eyes, he could still see, apparently. "Ah, another has come into my dojo. Welcome, strange snivy." the garchomp says to me. He then asks "What would you like me to do?" I hand him the 150 poke that I still had, and he says "Hm... well, you can train against my students with this much, I suppose..." after that, he hands me back 50 poke, and shouts "STUDENTS! Another trainee!" A blue-colored noibat, a dratini, and an axew emerge from some random door, and each of these pokemon seemed to have a small blue badge on them... strange. The noibat flies up to me, and says "I'll be your first opponent... um... be ready!" I then prepare to attack the small, batlike pokemon.

I almost felt as though I had melted into the bed from how comfortable it is, however, the sun's rays found their way over to me, waking me up. I stretch and yawn before jumping off of my bed. Once I do, I notice some sort of silver plate with a pastry on it. There was a note next to the plate, and once I got there, I pick up the note, and read it... all it said was 'Complimentary'. Oh, sure, there was some miltank milk next to the pastry, as well as an oran berry, but the main event was the pasrty, which was pretty much gone as soon as I picked it up. It was a pecha berry pastry, and it tasted great. It was very sweet, even without the frosting on the top, and the crust was very flaky, and added a nice 'bread' flavor to the mix. I then finished off the milk, and took the oran berry with me, just in case I end up in trouble on this 'Mt. Dragoncoil'. I figured that everyone else might still be asleep, and there were a couple rooms in my, er, room, that I haven't even seen yet, so I headed over there, slithering across the golden tiles, which were somehow warm to the touch, and end up in a room with two different baths. One of them had a wooden frame, and the other was just as gold as everything else, and had an odd, irregular shape. I decide to try out the wooden one while I was waiting for the others, turning some sort of knob as far as it would go. Water quickly poured into the thing, and steam began to fill the room. I jumped in, and felt even more relaxed from the warmth of the water. The bubbles helped as well, and, after not too long, it almost seemed as though I was just a helmet floating around in the water. I wonder when everyone else will wake up. I think as I continue to stay in this hot water. I'm sure that if I were a different pokemon, for example, a krabby, I wouldn't find this too relaxing, but, since I wasn't anything like that, it was very relaxing to me.

The bed was very comfortable, and I actually had a good dream for once. It actually didn't start off too great, with my father finding where I was, however, soon enough, that grey snivy from a couple days ago came out of nowhere, and defeated him, leaf blade held high. The dream continued with him asking me to be his girlfriend, him defeating that evil conkeldurr, and the dream kept going long into our old age... that is, until I woke up. For the first time in my life, I woke up energized and ready to go. I jumped right out of my bed, and almost said 'Good morning, everyone!'... but, it seemed as though both of my teammates were still asleep, and I didn't want to disturb them. Instead, I, for the first time in my life, hopped (rather than walked) over to the main hall, where that chatot was just waking up... for some odd reason, he was heading down the ladder. I thought he would sleep in the guildmaster's room, but apparently not. "Hey, good morning, whatever your name is!" I shout to the chatot, who squawks in surprise, and turns around. "B-bonnie!? Uh, good morning. Why are you up so early? Oh, and I'll have you know that my name is Charlie," he responded, to which I responded "Uh... I dunno, I just feel ready to wake up. Are there any good missions on that board?" Charlie then mumbles to himself, and heads into the guildmaster's room. I simply head up the ladder, and start looking around on the board. It seemed as though something was going to happen, but, I was just too ready to go to stay here for any longer than I have to. A few of the missions looked decent, but none of them really stood out to me, yet... maybe I just have to look harder, or something.

[Sumable]

I snore a little, and wake up with a loud yelp as I die in my dream. I sigh, and relax, because I had finally woken up. I take in deep breaths before standing up and waking Samuel up. He swats at me, still asleep, the first time but eventually wakes up. I mumble a bit and rub my eyes as I start slouching. I yawn, and stretch, and Samuel does the same. "Are you copying me?" I ask, and he repeats what I just said. I sneer at him, and then walk into the main place, and cough a little. "What time is it?" I ask as I pass by Chatot. I get no answer, so I lean on a wall to try and stay awake but my eyes slowly close and my head droops with my mouth partially open, and my tongue was hanging out just a bit. I begin slightly snoring and fall. I wake up as soon as I slip and I can't stop it, and I fall flat on my face. I get up and wipe dirt off my hands and arms and face, and crack my knuckles. I climb up the ladder, albeit slowly, and when I get up there, I see only see you and a Zorua who quickly forms into a kecleon and it's obvious he's trying to hold back laughter as he plans to copy me, like a mirror. I look at him and he looks back. When I begin walking, he does too.

"Agh, great, now I have two idiots copying me," I say as Samuel climbs up the ladder and immediately gets on the other ladder. "Well, I guess one, now." I rub my eyes again and ask "My bed at home is so much more comfortable, but the way the room feels, the way... everything here feels... it feels so much better for some reason... so what do we have to do here?"

-Samuel-
I wake up with William poking me with a stick he found lying around. I swat it out of his hands and I go back to sleep, to my dream. I wake up after more poking and stand up, and stare at William, and start coping everything he does. He walks out of the room, and I do to, and he tries to sleep standing up, aaaand he kinda failed. He fell flat on his face, getting a nose full of dirt, and he stands up, coughing and kicking. I bust out laughing and say "Try again next time, bud," and he climbs up the ladder. I follow him, but decide I wanted to roam around town and climb up the second ladder, out of the guild and into Treasure Town. I walk around Treasure Town and see a cute Kirlia, and I walk up to her and try to make a petty pick-up line. "Hey girl, did you use attract, because I'm definitely infatuated to you," I say to her and she giggles. "Cuti-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" she screams as she sees my er... blood of the eyes. I see her run off, screaming and crying. "Oh."

[Evanist]

As Celes was waking up slowly, she adjusted her eyes from the sunlight. She looked up in the sky, seeing the bright blue sky. She grown a bit. She did not have too much sleep, but at least she felt energized thanks to her special mix. She then jumped down on the floor, and then looked into the city. She shook her head as she then looks around. No one was there. She put her costume back on, before heading to the city, and starting to jump from building to building. She was heading to the hotel, wanting to go and fallow Spruce. What she saw only was him walking away, towards the dojo it seemed. He was going to train it seemed.... it might be a good idea to train here, but if she did fight, he might figure out her finding style and then blow her cover, and the costumes whole purpose. No... she would not come to train with him. Though she would need to keep a eye on him. Just then though, she started to hear some rustly. She looked down from the building she was on, only to see a dratini being chased by a angry deino.
"Your money now, or this will get much worst!" the deino then says.. It used dragon rage towards the dratini, knocking it on the ground. Shadowlight stared at this, and growl, before jumping down and then striking the deino with swift, striking it hard.
"What in the world!" the deino cried out. Shadowlight stares at him.
"Attacking the innocents.... have you no shame!" Shadowlight then says. The deino looked at him.
"Who are you!" the deino yelled. Some pokemons were starting to move towards the scene, looking at what was happening, seeing Shadowlight and the \Deino.
"I... am Shadowlight, defender of peace, protector of the innocents! Warrior of the right! You shall suffer for your crime!" Shadowlight then says.
God dang it... I sound like Kamina right now... if he were to see this.... while our travels I will never hear the end of it, especially if he discovers who I am. Shadowlight though to herself. The deino then yelled in rage and used dragon rage. Shadowlight took the hit, but then used confuse ray, making the deino miss completely his next attack, hitting a wall. Shadowlight then rushed and blasted the guys hard on the side with hidden power, sending him crashing in the wall, fainting him. Pokemons were looking at what happen, and stares at Shadowlight, who then gave and nods to them.
"My work here is done..." he says before jumping to a wall, and then propelling herself wall to wall, going on a building and then running off. Lucky that suit had very good grip. She ran off farther, waiting a bit, and keeping a eye on the dojo while she waited for Spruce. She needed to rest and heal up a bit, that dragonrage did hurt her a bit.

[a00000000000]

Ratnika flickered awake. His tapestry jolted upwards then fluttered back down. He looked around the room and saw the note. He read over it, then threw it away. He hovered out of his room and in the hallway, thinking that he might could use some air, too. he saw Ven and some Absol talking, so he hovered over to them. "Good morning Ven." he looked over to the Absol. "Who're you?" he asked, wondering if this was a new member to the guild. If so, then maybe he could join theirs. The more, the merrier, as they say. he thought to himself.

[FyreFenix]

"This would be the place." I tell Glass. "I actually just signed up myself with a Honedge named Ratnika." I inform her. "Oh, here he comes now." I say as I watch Ratnika float out of the guild. "Morning Ratnika, this is Glass she is possibly going to be signing up as a guild member." I tell him. Looking back at Glass I ask "Would you like me to show you where to sign up? Its quite the maze in there and its pretty easy to get lost." I ask Glass. Looking off into the sky I see that it is still early in the morning and there should still be enough time for me and Ratnike to go out on a mission.

[KaBling]

I silently watched as Spruce left the hotel, leaving through the already opened door which was propped by a block of wood. I felt exhausted, which shouldn't be the case; I'm a Magnemite, not a damn... something. Regardless, I began floating upwards, ignoring the state of my third magnet for once. Rubbing my head, I passed by light wooden doors and panels of yellow-painted wood before meeting up with the owner.

Or rather, just someone behind the wide reception. "Yeah, I'd like to return this key." I said, apparently bored, getting the attention of the Grovyle. He seemed as tired as I was, attending to a Farfetch'd that had began complaining over the dampness of the first floor - that place was rotting his pink rhubarb.

"Oh, yeah... sure, just hang on a minute." Talking to me, he was suddenly relaxed, no longer stressed. Unfortunately, he just realised this and unwittingly went back to talking the Farfetch'd out of burning his house down with lemons. I rolled my eye, flicking the key onto the polished bench and leaving some yellow arcs on it. Without another word, I left the hotel, shutting my eyelids halfway to cope with the sudden light.

Oh lord. As if the moonlight didn't get to me. It was awfully sunny, a contrast to last night where clouds occasionally blotted out the moon. However, they didn't pass silently; they left puddles and drops of water around Scale City. I was slightly worried I could accidentally fall into the water and shock an unfortunate Pokemon, but how would that happen? That Porygon sneaks behind my back again? Getting that out of the way, I had opened my eyelids, feeling less tired as each minute passed. I had no idea what was going on with myself, now that I required breathing, sleep, and... damn, I was getting hungry.

Using the Pokes floating in orbit around me (which no one and even myself didn't notice at times), I went by a thin yet tall tree, carefully dodging droplets of water before floating behind a Vibrava as he was counting his Pokes. I looked around the place, shaken from yesterday and fearing another attack.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Hm?" I turned to the shopkeeper, taking my eyes off a group of dragon Pokemon. Which I would later realise was actually a fight going on. "Oh yes. I'd like to buy several Oran berries. Is it possible not to have them mushy?"

After a minute, I was leaving with confusion - I didn't know how to eat. So, using the only opening on my face, I reluctantly mashed the Oran berry into my eye. Thankfully, it didn't hurt, and in fact it worked. The only bit I was not too keen on was humiliation. After squashing two into my eye and cleaning by closing my eyelids, I felt refreshed and energised, ready to go for an adventure.

My adventure for the time being would be joining the crowd and witnessing a fool. Well, maybe a good fool. How about not a fool at all? I didn't know, because I could only see the hero for a few seconds. (I'm aware of the term 'heroine' from dusty comic books, but I'm definitely sure it's a male... or, a high-pitched male.) Sure enough, I decided to leave, getting a distinct feeling that someone I needed was at the dojo across the plaza.

What did I know? That hero was there alright, still got a suit on and everything...

[Riddles]

"Josh, wake up!"
Josh opened his eyes upon hearing Matt's voice. With all of the thoughts going through his head that night, he didn't get much sleep. He yawned as Matt put him in the bucket and drained the water out of the tub. "Here." Matt said, handing him a pastry.
"You eat it, Matt. I'm not hungry." Josh said, pushing it away.
"I know you're a little stressed about what happened yesterday, but you need to eat something." He split the pastry in half. "At least eat this. You need your energy today."
Josh reluctantly took the pastry, and took a bite out of it as they headed down the stairs. They waited in the lobby for Hex and Anthony, hoping they'd wake up soon.

[Lugia]

[Spruce]

The noibat gets the first attack on me, however, he wastes it on using screech... yeah, it hurt my ears, but I was otherwise okay. What the heck is he planning with that? I ask myself as I lash out at the thing with Void whip, obviously surprising the noibat, who, despite flinching from my attack, continued his own attack by tackling me, sending me to the back wall of the dojo. "Ugh..." I end up saying as I slide down the wall. I get back up, however, not to be defeated so easily, and leer at the noibat, as well as secretly prepare for another tackle attack... which comes shortly after. This time, I was prepared enough to dodge the attack, and counter with another Void whip. The thing was nearly beaten, and I was ready to finish him off when he shouts "ENOUGH!" He then retreats, and Gabe tosses me an oran berry to heal up the wounds that I have taken. I quickly eat the thing, and my next opponent, the dratini, slithers forwards, while the noibat quickly eats his own oran berry. "Alright, let's make this quick," the dratini says to me before Gabe says "Fight two... begin!" I manage to attack with Void Whip before the dratini could do anything, which the thing wasn't expecting one bit. He tried to counter with the move wrap, however, I was able to dodge the move, and continue on, this time with leer... a move that I feel as though I should replace ASAP. Another wrap, but, this time, I wasn't so lucky.... this... wasn't the best thing in the world, and I was trying to break free attacking with Void whip after Void whip, but this thing was durable, and persistent. As soon as I was freed from wrap, I managed a powerful, well-aimed void whip right to the thing's face, knocking him out. As soon as he woke back up, he said "E-enough... ow..." and slithered back to his position. My next opponent would be the axew, and I knew I had to come prepared.

[Bonnie]

I finally found a mission that didn't look too difficult or nightmare-inducing. Apparently, some mother Pyroar lost her son in sunnyside plains, which meant that I got to head back to that place, and perhaps even meet my friends again... of course, I would be helping out a cat... I'd just have to try my hardest not to run away this time, as it could have led to someone's death last time I did that. I'll just have to be braver... and this is the best mission on here... the only one for us, at least. I think as I take the mission off of the board and look around for my teammates. I heard both William and Samuel here earlier when I was trying to pick out a mission, but I was a little too focused to respond... thankfully, it seemed as though William was still here, and I quickly showed him the mission, and asked "Hey, do you know where Samuel went? We should try to find him before we head off," that voice almost didn't seem like my own... after such a nice rest, I didn't sound as though I was constantly fighting back tears and pain... I almost sounded normal, for some reason, and that much was apparent to a nearby bellsprout who was carrying some odd, unidentifiable item. "Hm? You sound different today, Bonnie," he responded... though, why or how he knew me by name was beyond me, given that I have never met a bellsprout before. He then continued with "...uh, Bonnie? Why are you giving me that confused look?" After a bit of thinking, he simply continued on with "Oh, right, the name part... I kinda overheard you introducing yourself to your team. Congrats on joining, by the way," I then turn my attention back towards William, though, I was slightly annoyed with that bellsprout for eavesdropping on me.

[Sumable]

-William-
I yawn a bit, and grab the slip of paper. "Hm... I guess... ugh..." I say. I say "I think we should get a little more rest, I'm not awake at all yet..." and I suddenly hear some weird chanting down-ladder. I jump at the sudden, random loudness, and hear "ONE! DON'T SHIRK WORK!" and I rub my eyes as I go invisible for a second to see what was happening. "TWO! RUN AWAY AND PAY!" I hear, and the sheer loudness makes me fall. It kicks up some dust, and I lie still, and there's silence. Everyone seemed confused, since they couldn't see a thing, but something made the dirt and rock shift. After about a minute of random chatting, Chatot says "Well, then, back to the morning chant!" and I hear "THREE! SMILES GO FOR MILES!" and then the group is released. "I wonder where that new team went... I was going to introduce them," Chatot grumbles. I climb up the ladder as fast as possible and go back to normal. "Ow... my ears hurt after that..." I whine, rubbing my head. "I don't know where Sam went, I think he's in Treasure Town somewhere." I climb up the ladder and walk down the hill, and hear a scrafty yelling something, and I walk in that direction. He seemed to be far away, but he was loud.

-Samuel-
I slouch as I walk back to the guild, after scaring off a pretty lady. I made sure my dimples showed and everything! Ugh. I hear some stomps behind me, and I look back and see a Scrafty, and that same Kirlia. The scrafty walk over to me, pulling up his pants every two steps. He growls at me, and says "You hit on my girl, and then you make her cry, bro!" and he pushes me. I begin sweating and he pushes me again. I say "Stop! I didn't mean to," and he pushes me a third time. His pants almost fall from him not pulling them up, again. "You might want to get smaller pants," I say and he glares at me. He pushes me to the ground and spits on me. The acid lands right on my stomach, and I squeal like a wild spoink as it begins burning me. He then picks me up and throws me to the ground and when I get up, he continues shoving me. Bloody tears were flowing down my face and I begin to feel dizzy. The Kirlia runs up and says "Stop! Stop, I think he knows! Please, stop..." and the Scrafty continues beating me up and taunting me. I had a sense that he was holding back on beating down on me because of my small size, but that thought was diminished after he picks me up and slams me against a wall, really hard. "I-I'm--" I say before he stops me and says "YOU'RE WHAT, HUH? WELL SAY IT, SHRIMP!"

[Evanist]

As Shadowlight looked at her wounds, she though a bit. She had been training quite a lot lately with this whole superhero role thing. It felt good to let out some anger on those criminals. At least she was doing something good. She waited on a building near the dojo, waiting for Spruce, hiding, observing. Might as well rest up a bit before continuing. It will probably take time before Spruce is finish with the dojo anyway. Well, best to just wait. She breath in deeply, and observed the place around. People were walking around, talking, some talking about weather, some about the whole fact that she was beating down criminals around town. At least this would make the crime rate drop a bit. Though it mght make the guild have less work. Bah... With the usual number of missions, it would probably not bother that much. So she waited. When will Spruce go and beat those criminals down?

[Noire]

Hex eye's slowly opened, accustoming themselves to the new morning light. It flooded into the room, revealing more details of the heavily luxurious room. The bed was a comfortable and warm, and she felt like she could sink into the sheets at any time and suffocate, they were so deep. A feeling of warmness gushed out around her, and she slowly fluttered into the air, shrugging off the blanket. This is better than home life, Hex realized. I should do this more often.

"Hm? Oh!" Hex, noticing a pastry on her bed, almost immediately tried to wolf it down. Usually she didn't get much better than honey or berry jam. She had seen something like this before. It occasionally came in as a rare treat, from her mother. Usually, she never got to eat it, but it always smelled delicious and her mother always seemed to savor it. She bit straight into it, flying right above it, and tried to chew on the thin wheat crust.

Hex finally got a good grip on it with her mouth, only to find she couldn't really bite into it, considering she didn't really have teeth. She went through various stages of gripping it with her mouth, trying to get possibly one sharp end of her mouth into the pastry, only to soon find out she couldn't really do anything about it. Hex eventually, frustrated, gusted the pastry in her bag to save it for later, or maybe crush it up to slurp.

Hex eventually tried to set up a bath for herself, only to realize she had no hands, and couldn't push the faucet. A couple of strong gusts later, and only getting a slight drip out of the faucet, she decided to head out and pack up her stuff. Hex slung the bag over her body and fluttered outside, gusting the door open with a strong one. She saw Joshua and Matt in the lobby, waiting, so she just decided to wait for Anthony, who was probably enjoying absorbing the pastry into his body.

Kamina

Kamina sprung up when he woke up "yes! A brand new day filled with new opportunities! My friends; let us seize the day..." it was then that he noticed that he was alone "...oh boy." Rushing outside as fast as his little fishy body could go (which wasn't very fast at all, but the poor little guy was doing his best) Kamina left the guild building and headed into town, looking for his team. He soon came across a strange building "hmmmm...this mus be that 'dojo' that I've heard about"

Tini

Tini had somehow made it to treasure town while following a leaf...yes, you read that right. As he wandered around the town. Looking for his leaf, he suddenly saw a Scrafty beating up a poor Treeko "halt vile fiend!" he cried out in his most dramatic voice (which wasn't really dramatic at all, but the poor little guy was doing his best). Quickly using Wrap on the Scrafty, he said "stop...being a bully! Bullies are...meany heads!"

[Sumable]

-Samuel-
I scream and cry as the scraggy keeps spitting and stomping on me. Suddenly, he stops after hearing a stranger say in a weird voice, "Halt vile fiend!" I grab my head and try to stop crying. I look around dizzily and grab my stomach, which was very red and burnt-looking, and I howl in pain as I do. The acid had hurt me pretty badly. "Oohhh..." I moan, not paying attention to the Scrafty any more. I fall on the ground from exhaustion and close my eyes to rest for a small bit. I hear the Scrafty say "OW! Let me go! This little punk was trying to steal my girl, an-- OOWWW!" Apparently a few other pokemon were attacking him, not hitting the Dratini. "Stop! Please just stop!" the Kirlia cries, pulling at the Dratini. "He made her cry, so I felt that I needed to protect her! I mean, if someone made someone you love cry, wouldn't you want to defend whoever you love?" The Scrafty continues.

-William-
I run as fast as possible, and eventually get to a alleyway. I see a kecleon staring from his stall across the dirt road, and we lock eyes. We eventually go back to staring at the Scrafty and I grab my head as I see Samuel lying on the ground. "Oh, crap!" I say, looking at him. I run and lift him up. "What the hell happened?" I ask Samuel. He doesn't reply, and I hear the Kecleon across the street snicker and say to a random Pokemon "Aw, look at the little lovers," and I blush at hearing this. I look at the Kecleon, and I say "We aren't a couple, we're partners," and the other Kecleon bursts out laughing. "Too much information," he snickers. I say "N-no, not like that! I mean we work together!" and he keeps on laughing. "Stop!" I yell at him, and he continues laughing, and banging his hand on the table. "Wow... heheh... I never thought two gays could make me laugh that hard," he mutters, and I grab a rock and throw it at him. He dodges is and snarls at me. "We are partners at the Wigglytuff Guild, not like that," I inform. He shakes his head and I cover my face as my color drains into a pasty white, and then I go invisible. "I can still see you, you know. I can do that too," he says, chuckling and popping an Oran Berry into his mouth as he goes invisible. "Hey, we could have used that!" I say. "Oh, I'm sorry. I have more, for a cheap price of 500 Poke," he says. "W-what?! That's not cheap, that's a ripoff!" I say, becoming visible again.

Tini

"That doesn't make what you did right! You were beating up someone who couldn't fight back! If you just argued with him, or if he could defend himself, then that would be one thing...but no! You were just being a big meany head bully! What would this 'girl' of yours say if she saw you being so mean!?" Tini shouted, not realizing that the Kirlia nearby was said 'girl' "you better say your sorry you big bully, because I'm not letting go until you do!"

[Anthony]

After another hour in that tub, I reform, and get out of there, body still, thankfully intact. I was way more relaxed than when I first got in the tub. I make sure to grab my helmet, and then head out of my room. Oddly enough, there wasn't gold everywhere, but it was still clean-looking. I was slightly disappointed, as it seemed as though just yesterday the place was covered in gold, and now it just looked like a normal hotel. I made my way down the stairs, secretly dreading the fact that I had to, however, there wasn't mold and moss growing everywhere, this time. Yeah, there were a few dirty spots here and there, but it wasn't anything like yesterday... strange. I continued down to the bottom floor, which was looking much cleaner than it used to... again, it was somewhat obvious that less attention was paid to the upkeep of this area, but at least it was passable. Josh, Matt, and Hex were all in the lobby, waiting for me. "Okay, great! Everyone's here!" I hear someone shout from behind. It was enough to make me jump, and then turn around... only to see Terra, as well as a tiny pokemon who seemed to be poking his head out of her bag. "Hewwo, sluggy-guy!" the smaller pokemon said to me. Terra then sighs, and says "Everyone, meet Blaze. I'm going to see if I can't disguise him before we leave, though." I then, smiling, say "Hey there, little Blaze." Blaze then puts his head back in the bag, and Terra heads outside. I follow her all the way to Amanda's Threads, though, I do look back towards Hex a few times. I wonder what will happen to Terra once she returns home? I think as I continue following her. She makes it there without much trouble, however, once inside, it turns out the entire place was taken up by a giant line. "LET ME THROUGH!" Terra shouts at the dragons, who actually get out of her way, for some reason after that. Of course, this could have been the first time they've ever seen a fairy type, or something, so...

[Bonnie]

I try my hardest to follow William all the way to some sort of fight between himself, a scrafty, and Samuel. There was also a pink dratini wrapped around the scrafty, for some odd reason. Looking at the scene, as well as one that unfolded between William and another keckleon, I eventually decide that using Attract on the scrafty would be the best course of action. I then look at the kirlia who was now staring daggers at me, and whisper to her "I'm only doing this to get him to stop fighting... I don't actually like him," she then calms down and I continue distracting the scrafty while everyone else either runs off, or attacks him. Unfortunately, I didn't really have a decent attack I could use, hence the reason why I used attract in the first place. Please work... please work... I think as I continue trying to make sure he doesn't attack everyone. It wasn't exactly easy, as he seemed pretty dang angry... and I had to make sure that the dratini didn't also see, else this might just cause more trouble. I then check my bag really quickly, only to find nothing that might help... I was thinking about possibly using switcheroo while he wasn't looking to give him some sort of damaging item, but I didn't have anything like that. I used switcheroo anyways, taking his cheri scarf while he was distracted, and actually giving him nothing in return. I then wondered if I should keep this or not... it would be stealing if I did, however, it's not like he's exactly the most law-abiding citizen here, as he was attacking a kid right in the middle of town. I then whisper to Samuel "Hey, try paralyzing him, he just lost an item that was preventing that." I then hoped that he had some kind of luck with his attacks, of course, if he was paralyzed and infatuated, then this fight will be loads easier.
