Korrigan
Korrigan nodded as he listened to Kale, moving to a more respectable distance from Aiden when he saw that the Ghost-type didn't seem to appreciate it. He put his hand out towards Kale for a handshake.
"Well that's something you don't hear everyday. It's a pleasure to meet you Kale, and you as well Aiden. Please don't take offense of I don't shake your brother's hand, but I already have a date with death, and I would hate to show up early. That's just bad manners."
Korrigan knew his joke was rather morbid, but he needed to relax himself somehow from the dream he had. He sometimes joked about his assured untimely death, finding thzt it sometimes made it less frightening. He could also tell that Shade didn't approve of it, if the chill up his spine from his icy blue glare was any indicator.
Shade despised it when Korrigan tried to laugh off his impending doom. It wasn't like Shade wanted to kill his other partners,to see them all die horrible deaths, withering in agony as their soul is torn from their bodies. But he had no choice, as ut was either them, or a town full of innocents. He couldn't fight his instincts.
As my partner has informed you, my name is Shade, and it is a pleasure to meet the both of you, Kale, Aiden. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be going on a short flight around the general area.
With that, he flew off the battlements and into the night.
Korrigan heaved a sigh as his friend and partner flew off.
"Oh great, I pissed him off."
John
John was about to head into the local tavern when he heard more fervant shouts about worshipping fossils. Wonder who that could be.
Turning around, John saw the priest from earlier give some sort of sermon. He would have found it enlightening, if they weren't talking about a hunk of rock and dead pokemon. It wasn't even an impressive one either, just a shell. Who was the idiot who started this thing anyway, cause they clearly needed help. And by help, he meant a mace to their face.
John walked over to the priest, bored again and in need io some entertainment. He knew the guy had a pokemon around, since Axia hadn't let her guard down around him, even though the fugitive had escaped.
"Hey priest, how about you put your money where your mouth is. If this Helix God is so great, then how about we put that to the test. A duel between my Axia, and whatever you got wacthing your back from the shadows right now. Surely such a 'great and powerful god' wouldn't let his priest lose to a heathen such as myself. And if your pride as a priest on the line ain't enough, I'll even convert if you win, and travel with you as your personal bodyguard."
John meant only half of what he said, he would travel with the man, but in no way would he convert over to his stupid religion, or any religion for that. They were much too constricting for his taste, but he would pretend for a bit, then ditch him when he felt the need, but at the moment he seemed like an interesting travel companion.
Of course, the zealot would have to beat Axia first, and that wouldn't be an easy feat. As long as he didn't have an Ice-type,or else John was screwed with a capital K.
