[Spruce] The ice covering the city was proven to be unnatural just from the fact that Kamina couldn't do anything to stop it. [i]Hm... a legendary pokemon that can create ice... maybe this is Articuno's doing? Nah... that doesn't seem right, Articuno seems perfectly content just appearing to announce winter, or whatever... but, who would do this?[/i] I think as I move around the once probably great city, and look at the occasional shocked expression, or horrified face. Whatever caused this took them by surprise, and must have been pretty scary. [i]I guess just the faces of horror and shock alone means that this could only have been a legendary pokemon... that means we'd need another legendary pokemon's power to stop it... maybe.[/i] I think as I continue to inspect the area, trying to see if I could find ANYTHING at all that might point me to who or what did this, however, all I could find was snow, ice, and frozen-shut buildings. A strange kirlia seems to approach Anthony from his left, and teleports away after saying something to him. I was just about to ask if anyone had any ideas about this when Anthony just blurted out "This is all Kyurem's fault! We need to wake up Reshiram, Kyurem's brother, or something, to fix it... of course, Kyurem's also mad about something, so, maybe we'll have to help out Reshiram against him?" I was just about to ask where I could find Reshiram, and Anthony, as if he was psychic said "We can find Reshiram at the top of Sunrise Tower... it's off to the west, and it's actually not too far from here," Anthony then headed off in that direction, however, he was slow thanks to Kamina removing Anthony from his head in order to try to melt the ice block surrounding a hapless horsea. I then finally noted "It's kinda getting late, we should probably get some rest, right?" Anthony... finally stopped at that, and started placing a few twigs that he found on the ground before looking around to see if anyone could light them. [hr] [Anthony] I listened in to all the conversations until Kamina removed me from his head to try to melt the ice surrounding Kiera, Josh's girlfriend. It failed, however, and I ended up saying "Don't worry, Josh, I'm sure there's a way to help her... hey, a legendary started it, maybe another legendary can stop it, right?" hopefully, I cheered up Josh a little bit, but honestly, I didn't have much faith in what I just said... for all I knew, there was no breaking this ice, or melting it for that matter. Spruce wandered off from the group, probably trying to freeze to death, or something, given his type, and after what I can only assume was him trying to 'inspect the land', a strange kirlia approached me and spoke to me in a familiar voice... "I see that you are the ones who got my message... if not, then at least you can see the plight of my village. I am the only one who avoided being frozen, and I've been trying to get help since, well, THIS happened. It is because of Kyurem, who was once our protector. As of late, however, he's been overtaken by some strange energy, and this was the result of that," I then started to ask her something, but she simply continued "I'm afraid that the only way to reverse this is to reawaken Reshiram, one part of the same entity that Kyurem once was... he can be found in Sunrise Tower, west of here, it's not far," I then nodded, and she teleported away. "Guys, we're heading west. Sunrise tower, gotta wake up Reshiram and save this town," I then headed west, and Spruce seemed to be trying to ask me a few questions, which I just answered before he even had the chance. I was moving somewhat slowly thanks to Kamina still not putting me back on his head, however. [hr] [Nina] I was about to start commenting how I'd like one of those crystals in my room, but, out of nowhere, a growlithe with a badge appeared. I honestly expected some slobber, and an over-excited tone of voice, but I didn't get any of that. I then overheard Rebecca asking whether or not his badge worked, and I actually started thinking about just how random an arbitrary the 'badge states' are... if you were in the middle of a dungeon, but just so happened to have completed a 'mission' in said dungeon, you'd be able to teleport even if you were in the middle of a monster house, however, if you didn't finish it yet, and there wasn't a single wild pokemon in sight, you wouldn't be able to teleport back without losing everything due to some sort of 'emergency' function. It didn't make any sense, but at least a guild member has finally found us... and we won't have to clean anything, at least, not yet. "So, back to the old guild, right? Kinda funny how we're an exploration TEAM, and yet we had to get saved by a single explorer on his own, though, huh? Well... what we just had to deal with... er... will do that to you, I guess," I tried to not name anything, or detail any sort of specifics, and if he asked about specific details, I'd keep them about as vague as possible. I felt like this was the sort of knowledge that shouldn't just be spread around town, at least, not until we've figured everything out. For some reason, I felt like it was late, and I was already getting hungry. I wished that our rescuer would hurry up and finish his mission, already.
