[Spruce] We finished off the pokemon in the area, however, before we could continue on, Josh stopped me to ask if we could talk for a moment. "Sure, talk away, Josh," I responded, and he continued on by asking me what my problem was with Anthony. I had to think about that for a moment, and... I couldn't come up with any concrete answers, unfortunately. "Um... I... I don't know. Maybe it was just from when he made us all wait for hours back at the start of the adventure? I really don't know why I don't get along with him... I'll try to get along with him, though, I can tell it's starting to make the rest of the team worry," as I said that, Daniel flew overhead, and I recalled when he helped me through the forest... I didn't like him that much until after that... hm... maybe I just don't like Anthony because of his time as an outlaw, because of his slow speed at the start of this adventure, and because he hasn't done anything of that magnitude to help us, yet? That seemed a little selfish, but, maybe that was it... I then felt bad for thinking that way about him, and tried to focus on his more positive traits, on the things he's helped us achieve. I recalled when he took a fire attack for Mile, and how he boldly went on ahead of the team to see if we were safe, and, when we weren't, he even took a super-effective attack to the chin. I then turned towards Anthony, who stayed behind to hear all of this, and finally said "Anthony... I'm sorry for being a jerk. I... I dunno what happened, I dunno why we couldn't get along, and it was probably my fault," Anthony smiled, and said "Thanks. I'm sure I did something to provoke this too, so, sorry," things seemed a little bit less hostile after that for some reason. [hr] [Anthony] For some reason, Josh asked why Spruce didn't like me, and... I decided to listen in, as this interested me, as well. Unfortunately, it seemed as though Spruce had absolutely no idea what made him act like this, and, just as he was saying that, Daniel flew over his (and Kamina's) head. Daniel was probably thankful that he has wings, else he'd have to walk on this hot metal, which probably wasn't too comfortable for Celes, or Spruce before he got on Kamina's head. Spruce then did something I never thought he'd do... he apologized for acting like a complete jerk, and I responded with "Thanks. I'm sure I did something to provoke this too, so, sorry," either the heat of this place was getting to his head, or he genuinely wanted our teams to finally work together, for once. Either way, the place seemed somewhat less hostile, and a set of stairs was found, and thankfully, no wild pokemon were around them. Things were really looking up for us, by now. I headed up the stairs, only to find Daniel eating an apple. That only reminded me that I didn't have much to eat, yet, and the look on my face must have given that thought away, as Daniel offered me another. I had no idea where he got it from, but I took the apple, and ate the thing in one bite. "Thanks Daniel, but... where'd you get this from?" He responded with "Well... there's a bunch in the next room. It's like some sort of buffet, or something. They're all in these vases, and boxes," [hr] [Bonnie] I nodded grimly at Eralion telling the team to finish off this group of children, and Tini gave them all a speech about how their mothers would respond to this, and how this is a bad thing to do... however, the one that was awake didn't want to hear any of it, and used twister on Tini, probably still unaware that he's a fairy type. I was a little conflicted, but I ended up using frustration on the last one, finishing it off. "Sorry, Tini, but I don't think they're willing to listen. Maybe something else is controlling them and making them do evil things, or something," I explained to Tini as the group moved onward. I tried to make sure I was at or near the front, mainly to protect the client, who started talking about how amazing her boyfriend is, and how sad it is that he had to get lost in a place like this. I had to agree, as the last thing we'd want was an angry or annoyed client. "...anyways, I didn't like the color of the badge he gave me, but it's the thought that counts, right?" she asked after her long speech about her birthday. I was about to respond when a druddigon ran up to me, and used night slash. It hurt, but not nearly as much as it should have, for some reason. "Huh!? HEY! THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HURT YOU MORE!" The thing yelled at me in rage. I took note of his gender, and used attract, which had him mumbling about me within moments. "Sorry, Tini, but I had to do it... I don't want to touch his rough skin," I said to Tini, who would probably be angry at me for using that move. The druddigon tried to attack... however, he took one look at me, and just decided against it. [hr] [Nina] Thankfully, Dexter's last bout of Ember, not to mention Rebecca's disarming voice was enough to finish off the buneary... again. Once it was done for, more of that weird stuff just blasted out of it, thankfully missing all of us, and that stuff, whatever it was just dissipated into the air soon enough. "So, Dexter, this is the kind of stuff we have to deal with every day. Do you believe us about the weird... thing trying to kill us now?" I asked Dexter. I would seriously be surprised if he still didn't believe in whatever we were fighting after all of this. "So... mission on Mt. Dragoncoil, let's hope this one's normal, am I right?" I then told the group, probably reminding them of what we were supposed to do in the first place. I then ran off to Mt. Dragoncoil, as if I was in a hurry to prove myself in a mission... or maybe even prove whether or not this thing controls ALL wild pokemon.
