[Spruce] We simply continued on for a while, making it to the stairs before getting into any more conflict, however, just before we actually started climbing them, I heard a familiar voice... "Hey! WAIT FOR US!" I decided to turn around to try to see who it was, and the answer surprised me. It was the same charizard and salamence that we just got done beating up. [i]What in the heck? Why are they talking to us? Are they just going to try to trick us, and try to beat us up, again? Either way, they caught up with us, and the charizard continued talking with "Th...thanks. I don't know what came over us, but we were sent to explore this place years ago... is ol' Wigglytuff still around?" I answered with "Er... I think he goes by 'Wally', now..." the salamence then said "Doesn't matter, the point is, we want to repay you for making us come to our senses... hm... you seem rather light... now, were you sent here to explore, and figure out all you can about this place, or were you just sent here to get to the top?" I was amazed at this... were they really just offering to fly us to the top of this place? How would they carry Kamina, though? He weighed more than the rest of us combined. The salamence then asked "Well? Which was it?" and Anthony spoke up with "We weren't really sent by a guildmaster, but our goal is, in fact, to get to the top of this place. We need to meet with Reshiram," the charizard then asked "Well, would you like us to fly you there before we head back to our guild? It'll be free of charge," both Anthony and I looked at the rest of the group, wondering what their response might be to this. [hr] [Anthony] And with that, the battle was over, and we could continue on our merry way. Spruce looked like he was wilting, or something... plant pokemon were always kind of weird, they don't like the hot, they don't like the cold... I mean, at least dragon types like one of those two things, right? We made it to the next set of stairs, and before we could continue on to the next floor, no doubt filled with challenges, and other wild pokemon, a familiar voice shouted at us "Hey! WAIT FOR US!" Spruce turned around, and apparently just let them approach us, despite the fact that I already knew it was the two pokemon we just knocked out. They started asking Spruce about where we need to go, and who sent us, and I had no idea why until they said something about 'Wigglytuff'... which reminded me about the rival guild... they were run by A wigglytuff, but he went by the name 'Wally', and Spruce decided to explain that to the duo, after which I finally explained to them, thinking that it won't do any harm "We weren't really sent by a guildmaster, but our goal is, in fact, to get to the top of this place. We need to meet with Reshiram," the two smiled at that, as if it made their job that much easier, and they then asked if we wanted to be flown to the top of this place. Honestly, that would be a gift straight from Arceus at this point, but, the rest of my team, and Spruce's might not actually trust these two, after all, they DID just fight us, not too long ago. Spruce and I both turned to our teammates, as if expecting a response. [hr] [Bonnie] The golurk seemed to just barely hold on after those attacks, and, seemed to cloak its fist in that shadowy energy to punch Eralion, not fearing a counter-attack mainly due to the fact that it was a ghost type, and said counter-attack would just pass right through it. Eralion told Tini to guard the client, and after a salute that made me want to hug the giant snake pokemon, he did exactly that... all while trying and failing to look intimidating. Oh, if only our enemies knew... if only they knew exactly why an angry Tini SHOULD be intimidating... even if he still doesn't look it. I had some time to think, since the thing wasn't attacking me at the moment, and eventually figured out that the only move I have that can hit him is frustration, and even then, it's not typically supposed to. [i]I wonder if this will even surprise the thing... I mean, it IS a robot, and a wild pokemon, those things typically don't have emotions, right?[/i] I thought as I decided to use frustration on the golurk, dealing enough damage to finally get it to faint... however, that doesn't mean that his attack that was aimed at Eralion didn't hit, it just meant that the golurk fainted afterwards. "Whew... that was close. Onwards?" the client said to us as soon as the giant clay and stone pokemon fell backwards from my attack. I simply nodded, and continued the mission, heading up towards the top of the mountain, all while keeping a sharp eye out for any nidorino that might be here. [hr] [Nina] Dexter bit the golett, and Rebecca made it trip with her psychic powers. I was just about to finish the thing off with another flash tackle, when... something else actually decided to knock it backwards with some other tackling move... more specifically, whatever it was used Dragon Rush on the golett to finish it off. [i]Now, where have I seen that move, before?[/i] I asked myself as I looked around for who did it, only seeing a tiny, and familiar swablu. "Er... hi?" I said to her in an almost questioning tone of voice. She responded with "Hello. I... um... I'm sorry for attacking you, earlier... I wasn't really in control of my own actions, but that's no excuse, right? I... I want to help, at least for a little bit. What are you three doing here, anyways? You look like city pokemon," I looked at my team wondering if they'd answer before answering, myself with "Er... we're here, looking for someone's missing friend abra, have you seen them?" the swablu seemed to have to think about that, and she shook her head, unfortunately. "Oh... er..." I tried to change the subject, eventually asking, almost out of the blue "So, what's your name?" this caused the swablu to look down, and away from us, and said "I never had one... my momma never gave me a name after I hatched, and... I... I never gave myself one 'cause of that weird thing," I had an idea of what she meant by 'weird thing', and decided to try to change the subject, again with "Thanks for helping us back there," she smiled, and asked "Do you guys have any ideas for a name?" why she changed the subject back to that, I had no idea, but I was never that great at coming up with names... heck, when I heard that this team already had a name, I was relieved since that meant I didn't have to come up with one, myself.
