[Anthony] After Matt and Josh rejoin me, Darkrai suddenly seems to have remembered something. "OH! Now I remember where that thing was. I was actually trying to visit the place myself which led me to this city. The orb's just past the city itself and better yet the guardian shouldn't be too much for you to handle. It should be just north of here on top of the nearby mountain which is populated primarily by fighting types. There aren't too many traps along the way and the guardian as I've said before isn't too much. He's just some scrafty and isn't a shadow pokemon or anything like that. In fact I think my friend might have even solved some of the puzzles on his way over to the orb. I mean assuming that he continued towards the orb even after I got caught. So north and on top of a mountain got all that?" He... unfortunately spoke a little too fast, as if he was incredibly excited about what he remembered. All I could really make out was 'north of here' and 'populated primarily by fighting types'. "Could you slow down a bit?" I ask Darkrai, not having heard much of that. He repeated what he said, but, he didn't say it any slower, unfortunately for me. "Er... could either of you understand what Darkrai just tried to say to us?" I then ask the other two. Hopefully, they each understood at least something from the two times that he went through his little spiel. Static then adds "Well... all I got was that the guardian's a scrafty... does that help?" It almost sounded as if Static's head was spinning from the speed of Darkrai's speech. I wonder if he's going to get like this every time he remembers something about the orbs of balance? That wouldn't be very helpful. --- [Bonnie] That last fairy wind from Tini was enough to knock out the scrafty, thankfully. "Alright, we won!" I say to the rest of my team, including Samuel who was, for some reason, slapping William repeatedly. I then press the button on my badge, but for some reason, it only teleports us to Treasure Town... and not even in front of the guild. Odd, was someone somehow messing with our badges? I notice a vaguely canine shaped pokemon a few feet in front of me, but, the second I spot him or her, he or she darts right into the bushes. [i]Who or what was that?[/i] I ask myself as I look around for the rest of my team... whatever that was, I didn't want to face it alone. "H-hello?" I call out to the bushes, only to, obviously, get no response. As soon as the rest of my team gathers here apparently via teleportation, the thing rushes right towards William, shouting something along the lines of "You knocked out my boyfriend!" Or... something similar to that. Did that scrafty we brought in have some sort of relation with this pokemon? Was this the real reason that the mission was put up, to get revenge on someone who was apparently seeing other pokemon? If that was so, then I honestly felt pretty bad for our victim, now... and I also kinda felt bad because I took a mission that was written out of rage, rather than urgency... we're not mercenaries, we're supposed to be rescuers... as in, we help those who are actually in NEED of help, rather than just whoever WANTS help. --- [???] "The shrines should return to normal once we place all of the void crystals in their spot in Giratina's grave. I hope none of the pokemon died because of this... but, even if that's the case, then I suppose I'll have to call it their sacrifice," I say to the sylveon who somehow was capable of tying us up with these chains. I then notice the angry magnemite, who simply floated down, possibly to his own team's bed, and add "What his problem? Either way, at least I've got the name of the one who tricked Giratina... Desia... why does that name sound familiar?" Flare then finally asks "So, would you mind telling us your name, miss?" she seemed rather calm, which was weird given her fear of being unable to move. I was about to say something, but she apparently finally snapped, shouting "Get me outta here! I can't handle this anymore!" She then just went on to shouting... not really forming words, just, screaming, obviously out of fear. It took her long enough, as she usually goes right to the screaming and shouting, not even giving herself a single second to try to be calm. It can be difficult with her sometimes, especially on mornings when she wakes up and thinks that her own blankets are preventing movement somehow. "Yes, um, would you please let us go? I'd rather not have to listen to this for too long," I state, only raising my voice so that I could be heard over Flare's screams of fear. I tried to get out again, but, just like last time, there was no luck... and worse, I couldn't cover my ears as Flare's screams got louder and louder... hopefully, I'll go deaf soon enough, and wouldn't have to hear it anymore.
