I finally woke up after having exerted myself so much in the last battle, and went straight upstairs after the morning chant which I honestly didn't really feel like participating in this time. Once upstairs, the first thing I noticed was the fact that someone let those two criminals out... and they were standing over me, smiling as if they had some sort of scheme. "Who the HECK let you out!?" I shout at them, angered that someone would let someone like these two out of their bindings. The vulpix then says "Celes did, and thank goodness... I was getting kinda scared," [i]Celes? But... she wouldn't betray the team like this... or would she?[/i] I think as I try to make sense of it all. I didn't feel as though I could fight these two, especially since I was alone, and no longer underwater. Apparently, I had a confused or stunned look on my face, as the charmeleon asked "Why are you so surprised that she let us out? Don't you two know each other?" Why in the world were they speaking so calmly to me? It was almost as if they thought I wasn't an enemy of theirs, which I was, at least, at this point. Since I couldn't fight them alone, I ran back downstairs, and shook Celes awake, shouting "Celes, why did you let those two go!? What the heck happened last night!? Did they hypnotize you!? What's WRONG WITH YOU!?" It really didn't make much sense, but, I figured that if she couldn't provide a decent answer to all of this, perhaps M could. I just hoped she wasn't still under whatever mind control they put her under... or worse, somehow convinced that they were the good guys and we were the evil ones all along.

After a dreamless sleep, I yawn and roll out of bed, only to notice a sickening amount of someone's shed skin. [i]Yuck, can't these lizards at least pick up their discarded skins? Ah, well... at least they're nice enough to me.[/i] I think as I try to maneuver my way around the thin, white sheets of pure nastiness. Samuel seems to have woken up earlier than I have, and the same could apparently be said about William, which was kind of strange. I continue trying to not touch any of that shed skin when I accidentally trip over a loose plank, and end up face-first in a pile of old lizard skin. I was too stunned to scream, however, I also noticed that there was some sort of lump, rectangular in shape that the skin was covering. I brush the skin aside, and thankfully succeed in not vomiting, and notice a book... William's journal... out of sheer curiosity, I turn to the last page, and finally figure out the who and the why of the gross, skin-covered floor. Apparently, William went through some sort of change... one that may or may not have happened thanks to the ninetales from last night. I then start asking around the guild if anyone's seen William, with the journal still in hand. Eventually, I was pointed to this smeargle, who looked beaten up and bloody as if he was hit by an entire pack of rampaging tauros. "William?" I ask the smeargle, who, in addition to looking beat-up, also looked somewhat forlorn, as if he's been rejected by someone... or possibly the entire guild. "William, it's me, Bonnie. Um... I'm sorry for reading your journal, but, that's how I know that you're you. I mean, who would make up getting changed into something like that, right?" I then add, trying to put a cheerful spin on the event, but I probably failed. Either way, I had a plan to at least allow Samuel to finally put two and two together.

Somehow, I found myself waking up right on the ground, next to Darkrai... who actually isn't here anymore for some reason. "Ugh... that was the worst..." I comment, noting that even the rocky peak of Mt. Dragoncoil was more comfortable than this ground, which, looked somewhat dry for whatever reason. If I had to guess, I would assume the ground ended up like this thanks to the large number of fire-types living right next to it. Terra was also gone, but, there was a letter from her stuck to my face. It fell off quickly enough, and thankfully was still legible. 
'Team Scarab:
thank you all for helping Blaze and I out of this situation.
if I have any more problems in the future, I'll be sure to
ask you guys first! In the package is something that may 
help out Josh... as well as a couple items for the rest of you.
Consider them your reward, oh, and, the 1000 poke as
well... that was from Blaze.
~Terra'
I then look around for this mysterious package, only to notice a sleeping delibird right next to our group. His bag appeared to be filled to the brim with things that... well, I assumed from his blue hat, were supposed to be delivered to various pokemon around the area. I try to wake him up, and after a bit, he screeches as if someone was attacking him, and I barely evade an icy wind from his beak. Then he comes to his senses, and says "Oh, um, delivery for Team Scarab... is that you guys?" I nod, and look over to my teammates, who were still asleep, and he drops a square box of some sort, and flies off as if he was in a hurry. "Um... guys? I think we should take a look at this," I then say to my group, showing the letter while next to the box, that is, after I make sure everyone's awake.
