[Spruce]

I notice everyone slowly start to get up, and realize that, yeah... we should probably stop adventuring for the day. Whether we liked it or not, we had to stay at the guild. "Good to see everyone's awake, um, Gregory, I'm assuming you don't have much, and I won't require a reward. Unfortunately, I don't think my team would agree with that..." I say to him, realizing how much of a drain this day was on us, let alone him. He seemed to have a rather large wound... but... something didn't look right about it. I then start to feel all the damage I took all over again and though the pain add "We should probably return to the guild... we're in no condition to adventure anywhere." I then start heading back at a slow enough pace for the rest of my team to easily follow, with Gregory walking off in the opposite direction, towards a rather recent addition to town that allows those who aren't in either guild to be healed as if they were, which was probably for the best, given that his wound looked like it needed some medical attention. I finally make it back to the guild, and once I get there, Arnold runs up with a banana pointed at my face and shouts "INTRUDER!" I jump back and show him my badge. "It's just me... Spruce. I kinda had a run-in that I'd rather not discuss at the moment." He then puts away his banana, and starts walking around me, eventually coming to the conclusion of "Oh... okay. Welcome back, Spruce!" he then went back to his own office, and let me head towards my room. I was tired, even if it wasn't late.

The tyranitar wasn't really taking much in the way of damage from any of my teammates, and worse his attacks seemed to hit my teammates like an exploding registeel... heck, Carrol was shaking like something that didn't like the cold, but then I remembered... [i]Wait... he's using PHYSICAL attacks against me, isn't he? Why did it take me so long to do this?[/i] I then wait for another attack, eventually shouting "Hey, rocks-for-brains, it's not nice to traumatize kids!" my admittedly pathetic insult seems to grab the tyranitar's attention, evidenced by him charging at me, only to use stone edge on me. Sure, the move cut deep into me, and I was barely standing when he was finished... but that was just what I wanted. As soon as he finished his rock-based onslaught against me, I almost literally threw the attack back at him by using counter, and for once, he took damage. Heck, I even somehow managed to knock him back from that. After I eat an oran in one bite, I say "How's that, huh? Not so great when you're not invincible, or when your supposed 'helpless victims' can fight back, is it?" it was probably humorous to the rest of my team that this was coming from a goomy of all things, let alone the only one to have to use a reviver seed so far. He charges at me again, and I ready myself, however, before he could get to us, I hear someone shout "DAD, STOP!" the mawile from earlier then runs out of the cave, and places herself in front of me for some reason. "They're a team of explorers, not a bunch of wild pokemon. They might even be able to help us." the giant, dinosaur-like pokemon seems to stop in its tracks at the small, almost innocent, humanoid pokemon's words, for some reason. He then says "E-explorers? Have we been causing enough trouble around here to be hunted down? Yeesh... I really do hope they can help us, Terra." the two then head into the cave, and motion for us to follow... which was weird. "Well... that sure took a U-turn..." I then say to the team as I wait for Hex to follow the two into their cave.
