The escape from Wolfwing's lair

Kenza’s adrenaline was already at its peak when the forceful sluggishness hit, and she found herself moving much slower than she would on any other day, escaping any other beast. Gods above, move Kenza! she thought, forcing herself into a faster pace than what she had originally tried to escape in.

It worked — partially — sheer willpower propelling her forwards a few meters per second closer to her real pace but still far from full speed as the hunter fled after Derrick and Mistletoe. The hallway was void of any viable options of escape. Kenza’s mind was too preoccupied at the moment to stop and consider her surroundings, so everything was a fleeting blend of colors and useless backdrops as the hunter’s eyes darted around the dark and stoney landscape in search of an escape route.

The emergence of a flight of stairs at the end of the hallway was traced to a spiral staircase that ascended upwards in a tight coil. Immediately noticing that the upwards corridor appeared too small for the gargoyle-like creatures to ascend smoothly, Kenza swiveled and followed Mistletoe up without another thought. Derrick would follow, naturally, as would the creatures. But in the corridor where their wings were more of a hindrance than an advantage, the hunters stood a chance.

Leisy Takigawa

— Stillwater —

Leisy’s eyes opened at the second blare of her alarm, and she rolled out of bed to turn off the call for morning before making her way to the bathroom. A brief five minute shower turned into ten as she thought over what her team was shaping up to be. Obviously, Bidein and Naunet were her forefront runners, and Devinco trailed not far behind them as an equally strong contestant. Cassia, her Ekans, trusted her more now, but only more so than when Leisy had first caught her. So, Tyrus, her Ghastly, was probably stronger than the Ekans, having been through a battle with Ella. Animo, her Sewaddle, was newest and therefore last, although perhaps tied with Cassia since, again, the Ekans didn’t trust Leisy entirely yet.

Trust — we’ll have to work on that first, Leisy thought as she clambered out of the shower stall, toweling her hair off with one of the supplied towels. The bathroom was run-down and without most basic electric appliances, but at least it had the basic necessities covered.

After changing into some clean clothes, Leisy made her way towards the lobby. There, she found the old man attending to the desk conversing with a small group of people. Spotting the approaching girl, a crooked-toothed grin stretched on his face.

“There she is!” he said, waving Leisy over. “Where’s your friend? Oh, over here, girlie!” he called, spotting Ella walking over. “You two young’uns really did a number on our resident haunt. Never woulda’ though’ he was real. Darkrai, I mean.”

“Are you the trainers who defeated him?” a nearby townsperson asked, eyes scanning over the girls curiously. “And what of the other two — the Metang and the tall one?”

“Olivie and Bernard?” Leisy asked, frowning. “I’m not sure. We parted ways after we woke up.”

“Alright. Well, as promised, we’re transferring the trainer points into your accounts,” the younger man said, bowing. The group followed suit, “Thank you for your service.”

With that, the townspeople left promptly. Beside the girls, the old man chuckled. “Don’ mind them — Stillwater’s a place of private people. They don’ much like travellers, helpful or not,” he explained as he reclaimed his place behind the counter. “So, you two are leavin’ now, aren’t ya? Safe travels, trainers.”

“Thank you. Take care as well,” Leisy said, dipping her head to the man since bowing seemed custom in Stillwater. “Alright then, Ella. Let’s go?” Leisy prompted, heading out of the makeshift Pokemon Center. “We should grab some food as well — It’s past lunch, and I haven’t even had breakfast yet.”

@Lugubrious Since you made the location and have dominion over the original location post, the ideas and location will still belong to you, and we may end up contacting you to ask you to put up a mission here or there. However, creative liberty will be given to users now that you're not an active member, although I'd like for everyone to maintain the general feel of what you originally aspired to.

On the other hand, could you take down the "Bad Dreams" Mission since it's completed? @luckyblackcat's Ella and my character, Leisy, will be splitting the TP 20-20, if you're intent on leaving and not returning (as opposed to a 40/3 split between us and Olivie)

//Edit: I'm drafting and posting soon, but if you'd like to split the reward three ways just say the word :)

@Hekazu Haha yep figured I'd wait for you to post, but don't feel (too) rushed :)

Leisy Takigawa

— Stillwater —

“We won’t do nothing. We’ll train,” Leisy said, realizing that she was falling back on the old mantra from Feyhollow. It was however, true, so she pushed on. “We need to get stronger, and taking on a mythical Pokemon like Darkrai isn’t the way to do it,” she said, as much to Ella as to herself. “Let’s start back a—after,” Leisy broke off, a yawn smothering any further words. “After we get some rest,” she finished, turning to the hallway that lead to the back. “Let’s say… five, six hours? We’ll need to get rested up if we want to make the journey back. That would put us just after noon, and I think we can make it back to Feyhollow if we move faster than we did last time.”

In her room, Leisy didn’t even bother trying to clean up before collapsing onto her bed. Her time in Darkrai’s Dark Void may have been called ‘dreaming,’ but Leisy felt as though she’d just pulled an all-nighter, her brain groggily trying to make sense of left and right as she kicked off her shoes.

Bidein, goodnight, she thought hazily as sleep claimed her. The Fletchinder chirped disapprovingly at its trainer’s sprawled form but flew over, perching himself on the bedpost and shutting his eyes as well.

Aedre Charbonnet

— Mesalon Outskirts —

“Glad to hear it,” Aedre said, grinning. A kindred soul who loved Pokemon as much as she did was always appreciated, although she hadn’t planned on finding one. “I’ve heard about Rockruff but never had the pleasure of making one’s acquaintance,” she said, leaning down to the puppy Pokemon. “Hello there, Kyra. Nice to meet you. You have lovely eyes — adorable and sharp.”

At Deneb’s remark, Aedre laughed. “Well, that’s my job, my passion. It’d be odd if I didn’t know much about Pokemon, wouldn’t it?” she asked. Watching curiously as the grass-type handed her maracas to her trainer, Aedre’s mouth formed a small ‘o’ of surprise. “Your Maractus seems really loyal,” she said. “I don’t believe that I can convince my Togepi to hand over anything that she’s gotten her hands on. She’s a little… peculiar about her things.”

Her brows furrowed at the boy’s question about ghosts. “Yamask is a ghost-type, but ghost-types come in all different shapes, sizes, and forms. Spirits dwell where they wish, be it just in spirit form like a Duskull or Ghastly, or in an object like Yamask or my Honedge,” she explained.

A round of sharp, surprised exclamations pulled Aedre’s attention away from the boy, directing it towards a crowd of people nearby. Amidst the crowd she saw the familiar figure of Sophia, a black-and-white Pokemon at her side. Gothita, a psychic-type, Aedre recognized, following Amber over to the crowd. “Are you alright?” she called when she was close enough, giving Amber some space since the two girls appeared to know each other better than Aedre did. They both travel with Rheese, so I guess that’s not a surprise.

The arrival of a few more trainers — none of whom Aedre recognized, yet they all seemed to know Sophia — surprised Aedre, as did Sophia’s subsequent flight into the night. Following the girl’s steps with Amber in the lead, Aedre held a hand out to steady the Fletchling hanging onto her shoulder. “Hang on, Alitis. We have to catch up to Sophia,” she told him as she kept pace with Amber. A warning chirp in her ear instructed her to glance up, and she caught the red glints in the trees.

“Little, Growl,” Aedre instructed, figuring that her position was already exposed and the other trainers could do with the warning growl. The Fletchling rasped a loud noise from its throat, the sound almost deafening from her shoulder. “Follow with a Quick Attack,” Aedre said. Her Fletchling quickly delivered, knocking back the first Hoothoot that flew towards him and his trainer.

“We’re holding them off, but I think they’re just looping back to attack again,” Aedre called to Amber. “We need to get out of here!”
