Ross watched in disbelief as the sandstorm formed around the two battlers. It was hard for him to make out who was who through the storm but he had to admit, he was a bit worried about how Tinder was doing. He did manage to catch a glimpse of a bright blue...thing attacked one of the fighters and he feared it was Tinder that was being attacked. 

"Tinder!" He shouted over the roar of the sandstorm. "Are you alright?" He shouted again as he began to make his way towards the area of the village that was now a swirling sandstorm. He had to make sure she was okay. He did managed to catch a glimpse of a snag ball hitting the ground and shaking slightly before it stopped moving. [i]Did the Peon capture one of hers or did she managed to capture the Peon's Shadow Pokemon?[/i] Ross wondered as he tried to fight his way through the storm.

Velis looked at the man who had identified himself as Eagun and her eyes widened as she saw how beat down and ragged he looked.

"You were the Mythical trainer?" She asked quietly. "Cipher managed to do this to you?" She asked in disbelief as Eagun told her that he nothing, a failure. "You are NOT a failure!" She shouted angrily. The Old man looked at her and Justine and shook his head. "I am." He replied. "It's thanks to me that the Time Flutes were destroyed and the Relic Stone destroyed."

Velis was tempted to slap the old man upside the head but she restrained herself and smiled a very tight smile. "Old man, today is your lucky day." She said as she reached into her pocket and pulled out the small case that held the last remaining Time flute. "Cipher didn't get them all. Fateen in Pyrite town managed to save this one and she entrusted it to us."

Eagun shook his head. "It doesn't matter. The Time Flute only works once and it will only purify one Shadow Pokemon. You could call Celebi forth once and then it would be gone forever and even then there's no guarantee that it would stay. Celebi was nearly captured back when Cipher destroyed the Relic Stone and as far as I can tell, it was terrified the last time it was here."

Velis smiled. "We're not using it to purify a Shadow Pokemon, although it would be nice to use it for that. We're going to summon Celebi and we're going to try and convince it to come back. Celebi can save the Shadow Pokemon of Orre with it's abilities. It has to realize that. All we need to do is convince it that we are not it's enemies."

Eagun looked up and there was a faint glimmer of hope in his eyes. "I can help you. But we need to get my Pokemon and my wife back. They're being held in a cave near the edge of town. Once we free them, I will gladly help you." The mythical trainer said as he extended his hand to both Velis and Justine.

"Deal." Velis said as she shook the hand. She looked over at Justine. "What do you say?"
