[Spruce] CRAAAAAAASH! I could have sworn Reshiram was going to say something, but, someone, or something just produced lightning and thunder loud enough to temporarily mute the booming voice that the legendary pokemon had. A quick glance once everything settled revealed the culprit to be Miles, who looked... well, pretty much the same as he always did, honestly. He seemed more motivated, somehow, and, oddly, so did I. "H-HOW IS THIS HAPPENING!?" Reshiram shouted at the top of his lungs once we could hear, again, and he tried to use Fusion Flare on me, once more... and just like last time, it didn't seem to do much. Sure, it hurt, but I could easily take a hundred of them, I felt. Celes said something about fighting until the end, and Reshiram seemed oddly scared, now... the tables truly have turned. It was odd seeing a legendary afraid of some common pokemon... pokemon that the legendary would normally just swat away without a second thought, and yet, here I was, witnessing this usually mighty creature experience fear... I used another void whip, knocking Reshiram into a pillar, a chunk of which somehow fell on Anthony's head, or, at least, his helmet, which at first, seemed to knock him out. Anthony got back up, and started barking orders, apparently, he, in his own words, was something called a 'general' now, whatever pokemon that was. What was really odd was Reshiram's reaction... "You have no rank here, General, can't you see? The world has changed, now, General," [i]You have no rank here? The world has changed, now? Was it ever different from what it is, now? Is he talking about the mystery dungeons, or something even more mysterious?[/i] I thought as Reshiram argued with Anthony, who somehow pulled off five dragon breath attacks in a row! [hr] [Anthony] I became blind and deaf for a short moment before Reshiram shouted something, and a chunk of rock fell on my helmet... I felt REALLY weird after that, and I started shouting almost random things, such as "WHOSE FLASHBANG WAS THAT!? ARE YOU TRYING TO GET US ALL KILLED?" as well as "C'mon, troops, we got the enemy cornered, now we just gotta tie him down!" I wasn't sure if I was motivating them or not, but, for the first time, I could HEAR what I was babbling about while I was in that alternate state of mind. "Huh!? HEY! I'm the only general around here, ya grey bastard! Go command your own troops!" I shouted at Vine in this state. He didn't seem to understand, but, then again, neither did I... what was strange was the fact that Reshiram, of all pokemon, understood, and he even gave a rebuttal "You have no rank here, General, can't you see? The world has changed, now, General," after which, I mostly returned to normal, and used that strange power I seemed to get after all that... weird crazy-talk to power everyone up, and immediately afterwards, I used dragon breath... and somehow, with that power active, I used it five times in a row, dealing significant damage to Reshiram, who I just noticed was actually afraid of us, now. Daniel got back up at this point, and he tried a shadow rush attack on Reshiram, yet, somehow, even with all this motivation, even with all this extra power, that STILL did nothing. [i]Is Reshiram somehow immune to shadow attacks? CAN a pokemon be immune to those?[/i] I thought as Daniel noticed the fact that his attack did nothing, and retreated back to me... the charizard and salamence that brought us here finally joined in, attacking Reshiram with two dragon claw attacks each. [hr] [Bonnie] Tini absolutely refused to get off of Rayquaza's head, and he continued to hit the giant green dragon snake with his frying pan while I tried to explain "We're really not here for the crystal, we're just trying to finish a mission, alright!?" of course, Rayquaza wasn't buying this, and he finally tried to attack... Eralion? Yes, for some reason, he tried to attack Eralion with a Sky Drop, flinging Eralion, and himself into the air... and, of course, doing the same to Tini, just because Tini was still somehow on his head, and still attacking. I couldn't hit the thing while it was in the air, but, as soon as he did that, I overheard someone familiar "Alright, now's our chance, let's get outta here!" That was that nidoran, and her group... [i]how can that psychic type stand being around me? Heck, she's even a ralts! Those things are supposed to be extra sensitive to that stuff, aren't they?[/i] I thought as I tried to formulate some sort of plan... maybe we could make it out of here without actually fighting Rayquaza... if only I had the right seeds... I looked around in my bag, and noticed two very old seeds... yeesh, I had no idea what they were before, but I could smell it from here... they were X-eye seeds now. Wait... that was it! That was our way outta this place! Now... I just had to wait for Eralion to land... "Hang in there, Eralion! I got a plan to get us out of here! Tini, get off of Rayquaza as soon as he lands, alright? We're going to make a beeline for our client!" I shouted to my team, hoping that at least one of them heard that. Just after that, I saw a few pokemon teleport away... I guess the others finished their mission up here. [hr] [Nina] It seemed like everyone was in agreement... we weren't going to help the fellow explorers against the legendary. [i]Fair enough, I suppose... it's not like we'd be a match for that thing, anyways, at best we'd provide a temporary distraction...[/i] I thought as I tried my best to sneak past everyone. "We're really not here for the crystal, we're just trying to finish a mission, alright!?" the lopunny shouted at the legendary... who obviously didn't care, and decided to take her pangoro friend into the sky with himself... which meant that he wouldn't be able to do anything if he saw us, right now! "Alright, now's our chance, let's get outta here!" I shouted to my teammates as I ran right for our client, the abra... but, as soon as I got there, a team consisting of a snivy, a bulbasaur, and a mudkip appeared out of what seemed to be thin air, and teleported away with the client. I was shocked... did someone just STEAL A MISSION FROM US!? Thankfully, we could still teleport back using the badges, and I did exactly that... even if it meant that most of my items somehow miraculously disappeared. Once I, and the rest of the team, were back at the guild, I finally spoke "Is... is that legal? Is that... ugh! Those must have been the same jerks that were spying on us from the bushes! You remember, right?" I was looking at rebecca when I said this, but I guessed either of the two could give a response, and, either way, I continue on. "Those jerks... they waited for us to stumble, or, I dunno, they went on ahead after catching wind of our mission while we were taking a break, and... AGH... that's just..." I couldn't really form a decent sentence after that, and grumbled all the way to the team's room... which had an envelope in the middle of it.
