[Spruce] The trio was pretty badly beaten down by everyone else, with Kamina's flame charge, Celes' father's psybeam, and M's odd lightning doing a ton of work, however just when I thought I might get the finishing blow, they all pull out some sort of golden oran berries, and eat them all at the same time. Somehow, the berry's juices seemed to heal whatever pain they were in, and even healed Sean's paralysis. "Ah... that's better. Heh, you punks ready for round two?" I couldn't help but faceleaf at the stupid sentence Sean put together in some attempt at being intimidating. Sean and his group then laughed, and Sean used Feint Attack on Celes' father, disappearing into the shadows for a moment before reappearing behind him while Carl floated over to Celes' mother, and used Poison Gas, possibly poisoning her. Bart then flew over to Celes' brother, and used Supersonic on him, hoping to confuse the flareon, and get him to attack his friends and family instead of them. I then manage to stumble over to Sean, and use Void Whip on him, though, the poison made it hard for me to actually use the attack, let alone hit him with it, I managed to do just that. Kamina seemed oddly faster after both evolving and using Flame Charge on these jerks. I almost forgot to say anything, but I thankfully remembered, saying "Great job, Kamina!... sorry I don't sound very enthusiastic right now, poison will do that to you," Sean then disappeared into the shadows again, and hit Celes' father again with Feint attack, apparently hoping that the super-effective damage will be enough to take down the one who was probably the greatest offensive threat to their team. I try to use Void Whip again on Sean, and thankfully manage that, but afterwards, I almost feel as if I'm about to pass out from the poison. Bart then, rather stupidly flew towards M, and tried to use Supersonic on him, in yet another effort to confuse our team. Carl then floated over to Celes' brother, and used Smokescreen, trying to make sure that he can't hit anything. --- [Daniel] Anthony was down and out, the rest of us were getting exhausted from the fight, and worse, our attacks weren't anywhere near enough to do anything of significance... well, either that, or this scrafty had an amazing poker face that could win him millions. I tried another shadow rush, but despite the supposed effectiveness of the attack, he seemed to just brush it off. "What's the matter? You guys can't fight without your mascot?" He jokingly asked us. I didn't reply, as I was too shy to talk to him. He was about to use another Crunch on Matt, however, some rocks, and a sableye came tumbling onto his head. "Agh... okay, okay... just take the dang thing... why'd you have to have a bunch of traps, too?" I didn't know what he was talking about, nor could I hear him very well under all those rocks, let alone the other pokemon, but I was more than happy to take that as a win. Static jumped out of Anthony's bag, and said "Well? What are you waiting for? Let's grab the orb and get back to the guild!" I've never actually seen the guild, but I assumed that this badge came from there. I then dig around in Anthony's bag, and pull out another badge, handing it to the mysterious sableye, as well as a strange, bluish gem, saying "Here... you probably don't know it, but you saved our tails with your, um... excessive tunneling? Anyways, I'm sure Anthony wouldn't mind having you on the team," I smile at him, and head for the normal orb, picking it up in my talons, and passing it to Static, who put it somewhere in Anthony's bag. I then press the button, and teleport all of us, Static and the sableye included back to... whatever guild these badges went to. --- [Bonnie] The vine whip seemed to be more than enough to finish off the mystery pokemon, who revealed itself as a sandshrew after passing out on the hot desert sands. "Hm... hey, William, are you absolutely sure you can't use Sketch again?" I then ask William as I continue towards this supposed city, the sun and heat actually getting to me pretty badly. [i]Yeesh... I feel like I'm actually cooking in this heat... I think I was thinking about something earlier, but I can't remember anymore. This heat's getting to my head...[/i] I think as I start stumbling around in the heat, my head feeling like it was on fire. Another pokemon attacked us, this time using Feint Attack, though, it didn't seem to actually hurt me that much. A closer inspection revealed the attacker to be a scraggy, and one that was ticked off at me... for some reason. I then notice that I was standing on his tail, and step back a little, though, that didn't stop him from attacking William with Low Kick, probably hoping to one-shot him with just the fact that it's a super-effective move, and given William's low weight, probably nothing else. I then use attract on the scraggy, who starts looking at me again, and fails to attack anyone. I manage to use pound, though, thanks to the desert heat, I hit a mirage double of the scraggy, and fall face-first into the sand, causing the scraggy to laugh at me. Dazed from the heat, I try, but fail to attack again, and I notice some strange things in the desert, such as another Wally's guild, a lake, and a cup of cold, refreshing water. I was getting delusional already, unfortunately, and I knew this wasn't going to stop any time soon.
