[Spruce] Everyone else seemed to almost instantly come to my aid, attacking whoever they could, yet, focusing on the pidgeotto, who, honestly was the bigger threat at this point. The bird seemed outraged, for some reason, and shouted "NORMALS!? You brought NORMALS into this place!? Not only are you a traitor, but you brought a bunch of normals into this sacred realm!?" This seemed to distract him, but I couldn't really take advantage of this. For some odd reason, the other void pokemon didn't seem to know or really care at this point. The numel still seemed focused on me, but the sneasel started to focus on Kamina, using pursuit on him, as if he was going to run away, or something... clearly, someone doesn't know Kamina too well. The numel used ember, and, try as I might, I couldn't avoid taking damage from the attack, and unfortunately, it was more than I thought it would be. I counter with a vine whip, but it didn't seem like he even felt the attack, let alone was knocked out by it. The thing was laughing at his easy victory, and fired another volley of ember at me... this was going to end me... this was going to finish me off right here and right now, or... not? Somehow, the ember never came, and my vision was blocked by something, or someone. I stand up, and notice an eevee, or, more accurately, that void eevee from earlier standing between the numel and I. The eevee uses take down on the numel, charging headfirst into danger... and it still wasn't enough, but at least I wasn't knocked out, yet, right? I tried another vine whip, and the thing still didn't fall over. "You think that eevee's enough to stop me? Pffft... I didn't feel his last attack," he says with obvious confidence. He tries using ember on me again, and just like last time, the eevee takes the hit... but... why? When did this random void eevee switch sides, and why? --- [Anthony] The torch nearly explodes in white light, and once that dims down a bit, a bluish flame can be seen on the tip, a flame which served to light the cave. There were four more of these torches, each with different-looking stuff on the tip. "...wow... water lighting a torch, and then this much light? What is this place?" I think out loud as I make my way over to the note. It seemed to have the same horrible handwriting as the last one, which is to be expected, and it read... 'Darkrai If you're reading this, then that means you're a bit more serious about following me into this dungeon. Now, let's get right to the point. All of these torches need to be lit in order to reveal the way further into the cave, but, each of them is different, and each one responds to a different type of move. The type it responds to can be determined from the torch's color... with the only weird one being that white torch... apparently, that one responds to water instead of normal or ice like I thought. Anyways, hope to see you soon!' I then check the four torches more carefully, and note that one of them was green, another was brown, yet another was purple, and the fourth was pink for whatever reason. [i]Hmm... maybe if I try...[/i] I think as I head over towards the green torch. I use Absorb on it, and a green flame bursts into existence shortly afterwards. I then thought about the brown one, and figured that its color might have faded over time... or... that either a rock, ground, or fighting move needed to be used on it. I hoped it was rock, given that rocks were pretty common, but if it was fighting, I suppose Matt could hit me with the torch, and I could use counter... but if it was ground, we were done for. We couldn't go any further, and the door back was already locked. --- [Bonnie] After watching William as he stumbles through trying to live his life and trying to explain everything to his parents, I notice Tini ask why he'd need transform, assuming he was an outlaw, or something. "No, Tini, he's not an outlaw... he just somehow, mysteriously changed into a smeargle... he used to be a keckleon, so, nobody thinks he's William, anymore, well, nobody but you and I, that is," I explain to Tini as I head back into the room, and check to see where Samuel might be. The beds were all empty, so he wasn't in the room, anymore. I shake my head, and look around the guild, trying to find him so I can explain what happened to William, however, I come across yet another mission statement regarding me and my father... I quickly take the mission statement off of the board, and run off into my room, hiding the mission under my pillow, just as I have last time. I then notice that bidoof's diary, again, and couldn't resist taking a peek. inside the 'journal', it said something about him finally getting to my father's house, and worse? Apparently he met the man, but, obviously, my father was too much for him, and he had to use an escape orb... which would explain how he was able to write this entry. [i]You know, for a bidoof, this guy's pretty dang persistant...[/i] I think as I put away the journal, and, just in time, too, as the bidoof seemed to appear right after that... unfortunately, I wasn't as good at making it seem like I wasn't here as I thought I was, and he noticed something was off instantly "Hey... who's been reading in my journal?" He asks, though, I don't respond. He continues to ask around the guild, not getting a response from anyone, including me. '
