[Spruce] I honestly didn't know how to respond to Celes' description of the amulet, and the fact that it had a picture of her dead parents in it, but, whatever I would have said was obviously going to be cut short, as it seemed as though my prank didn't do anything to calm M, no, instead, it enraged him. "Uh... I did... why?" I ask M before he explains how he supposedly died. I then add "What? How? Water isn't exactly lethal to electric types, is it?" After that, I think a bit, remembering type match-ups, and say "No... if that were true, water would at least be super effective against electric types. How did that nearly kill you?" This was strange, given that he really shouldn't have been all too harmed by the liquid, and somehow, I could almost feel something else stirring inside of M... something more... well... evil, and somehow, I could also see a faint image of Yveltal surrounding M. Of course, I ignored what was probably a hallucination, or a trick, but even so, I found it difficult to speak after my previous statement. I then look around the room for anyone who might be able to help me out in case things went south, but, the only one I could find was Celes... and I already knew she can't handle steel types very well, thanks to her fairy typing. If she knew some sort of confusion, or sleep move then we'd have a chance, but, no... if he decided to betray us right here, I'm not sure if I'd be able to stop him... not with whoever was nearby at the moment. --- [Bonnie] My father laughs at my failed attempts to get any sort of help from my friends, their blank stares doing nothing to help, either. "Why...?" I end up asking, with a voice that used to be all too familiar to me... a quiet, scared-sounding voice, my own from before I was able to escape my house. My father apparently overheard that, as he answered "Because you've betrayed every single one of them. Yes, you've done something horrible to each and every one of these so-called 'friends', Bonnie, so now they're just going to leave you here... with me," I then finally get some sort of speech from them, starting with Tini, who turned to face me, and whose voice sounded angry "You used one of the Three Unforgivable Moves, even AFTER I told you to stop," William then added, turning towards me just as Tini did, his voice sounding more annoyed than mad "Why did you ditch us back in that mansion? You could have killed us all, and, what? Just because you're afraid of a SKITTY!?" Before I could answer, Samuel turned, and with a voice as angry as Tini's said "I know you think I'm some sort of idiot for burning that place down, but, let's face it, we didn't have any other options! You're not a genius, yourself!" I then manage a "But... I..." unfortunately, I didn't have any excuse, and at this point, I couldn't find any redeeming qualities I could point out to the trio. "Ah... I see that you're finally realizing that you're dead weight. You're not just weighing down the team with your uselessness, either, you're weighing down the planet," my father then said to me, knowing that I was too emotionally beat down to actually attack him at this point. An image of my mother's head then appeared next to my father, and holding back a scream, I hear my father explain "This could have been avoided you know... if you never said a word about what you saw that night, this never would have happened... but, I guess we can't trust you with any sort of knowledge, can we?" I try to manage an answer to my father's question, but can't come up with anything, only thinking [i]Why do my dreams have to torture me? Why can't I just have normal, happy dreams like everyone else? Have I really wronged that many pokemon?[/i] My father then finally attacks, and with me having no real escape. He apparently wasn't greedy today, as he went for slash rather than pay day. I had no escape... I wasn't in the right mind set to attack back, or even evade at this point... the only good thing about this was the fact that I was dreaming... right? RIGHT? --- [Anthony] I just kept moving along, noticing that Xeno and Josh seem to have something in common, but not saying anything about it. Eventually, I make it to what could be described as foggy plains, mainly because it as foggy, and as far as I could see, the land was, well, plain. For a brief moment, I see a silhouette of a mudkip, a pokemon that was normally foreign to these plains, and obviously our target. The silhouette was gone before I could act, or say anything, but, at least I knew he was here, and probably not too far from us at the moment. I then notice some clouds moving around, and eventually end up taking an astonish attack from said clouds, somehow. [i]Moving clouds? Attacking clouds? Wait... aren't swablu common in this area? Oh... this must be one of those.[/i] I think as I try to use bubble on the moving clouds, unfortunately missing them. Daniel then appears behind the clouds, using assurance on the pokemon, this time hitting, and actually doing some damage to the hidden pokemon. It then flies away squawking and shouting "BOSS! They're tough!" that was odd. "Hm... seems like Martin found some new recruits..." I say to the rest of my team as I watch the pokemon fly off and attempt to follow it to, well, hopefully the 'boss', my old buddy. Either we really were too tough for the area, or that pokemon just gave up too easily, as all it took to scare the thing was one attack not missing due to the fog of the area. Unfortunately, I couldn't track the swablu too far, and ended up waiting, no, not for my team, I'm too slow to ever have to wait for my team, I was waiting for another pokemon to appear so I could scare it into bringing us closer to Martin, and whatever group of thugs he banded together since he apparently escaped from jail.
