As we beat up the muk, one runs off and the other two sink into the ground, and I transform back into a smeargle again. Suddenly, I hear a shrill shriek, and by the sound of it, someone was trying to protect something. Suddenly, a nidoqueen approaches. "I am the protector of the light orb, one of the four orbs of balance! Now, intruders, tell me why you're trying to steal it and I MAY let you go," she says. Suddenly, Bonnie screams at the nidoqueen, and I look at both of them with wide eyes, thinking that Bonnie just doomed us. I tap my fingers together as I say "Um... w-we're just adventurers, our friend Wooper--" and then Wooper cuts in. "My name's John." "Oh, um... our friend John here said he found this place and he wanted to go as deep as possible into it, so we came here and that 'orb' thing caught our eyes. It's really hard not to miss, if you are protecting it, you should conceal it rather than having it in plain view," I say. John says "We're sorry, we weren't trying to take it," and Samuel was nowhere to be seen. "Where'd he go?" I ask, and John asks "Who?" as I look around. The Nidoqueen, not paying attention to John and I, says "Oh... well... in that case, I suppose you can leave, sorry about that." I look at her and ask "What is the orb, and what does it do?" Nidoqueen doesn't answer as she stares at us. "Go, or I shall hurt you," she growls, and I take out my badge. "I've seen enough," John says and I press the button as it turns green, sending all of us back to the guild.
 
"Whew! What a trip, huh?" he says. "Uh... so, I have six Oran Berries and three gummis, so shall I split them up between the three of you?" he asks, and I nod, taking my two berries and one gummi, and eating the gummi. "Mmm..." I say, the white gummi being bland... but, strangely, I liked it that way. The boring, normal flavor danced on my tongue. I get a few looks from the other guild members, and I sniff the air. We still smelled like Sludgy Swamp... at least, I did, since I was a muk right before we left pretty much. Tini's move didn't work after he used it, and after I had saved him.
