[Spruce] The dream continued on, and Giratina decided to attack, me again, but... somehow, this time it didn't hurt very much, at all. "What of Miles, though? Surely, he cares about me... I'm the only one he trusted with his actual first name, after all," Giratina laughed, and answered with "He's not long for this world... and besides, that pathetic excuse for a pokemon barely even cares about himself," I didn't know much about the first part, but the second part seemed true, unfortunately. He did always seem depressed, or otherwise down, for some reason. A faint, spicy smell filled the air after a while, but Giratina didn't seem to smell, or otherwise notice it... however, he did notice me sniffing the air, which he taunted with "Sniffing the air like a common dog? How... fitting for someone of your standing in the new world," I decided to ignore this taunt, and continued healing from my leech seed. I was feeling a bit more certain that this was just a dream, but, I still had a few doubts at this point. [i]Hm... his attack didn't hurt much, this time... and that smell wouldn't make any sense if this was a dream... and, I guess if it was, it would make sense for him to do things like read my mind, or attack multiple times in quick succession... without using moves like fury attack.[/i] I thought as Giratina just floated there... once I finished that thought, however, he shook his head, and responded with "I'm glad I put you so low in my ranks... you seem to still think this is a dream, even after my demonstration, and even after feeling pain in this so-called dream," [hr] [Anthony] With the enemies defeated, everyone seemed exhausted. Miles muttered something about this being 'over' someday, and I carefully made my way over to him, just to say "Yeah, I hear ya, buddy... but, we have to at least try to make that happen, right? It doesn't seem like anyone else is trying to strive for this... right?" I didn't really know what I was saying at that point, and Josh suggested rest, and I responded by nodding, tiredly, and just passing out... of course, I could overhear Reshiram saying something about him keeping us safe with his fire, or something like that. That being said, there shouldn't be too many more pokemon trying to attack us, now that we have a legendary pokemon on our side. The ice was cold, and hard, and despite it being the worst 'bed' I've ever slept in, I still tried to find a way to actually fall asleep, here. I had get to sleep at some point, as tomorrow, we were going to face off against Kyurem... a pokemon who could probably knock me out in one attack if I'm not careful, or if I'm even slower than usual. I muttered, and tossed, and turned as I tried to find even the most remote possibility of comfort, here, and eventually, some of my body seemed to just freeze to the ice. With that, I finally started losing consciousness, though, whether I was sleeping, or just frozen... well, I'll find out tomorrow when and if they thaw me out. [hr] [Nina] Dexter didn't seem to like the idea of having that bronzor join us, and honestly, I could see his point, that he'd slow us down, even if he wasn't going to betray us, but, I found Rebecca's point about us having survived far worse things than a simple betrayal from a weak friend, or just having to watch over said friend, but, it was agreed that we should probably get some sleep, with the argument being that the dark types were most likely nocturnal, so they'd have an advantage against us during the nighttime. I simply nodded, and headed towards our team's room, not wanting to argue against two of my teammates, when I could just sleep in a relatively warm bed. Once we got there, I said "Well, at least today wasn't a TOTAL waste, right? We got the information we'll need for our next mission, and a map that should get us there... and this time, I'm positive that this mission cannot and will not be stolen," it seemed like someone was listening in on us, but, I didn't know or care who they might be. If they were the thieves, then something told me simply waking up early should be enough to deter them from stealing our mission, and if it was Archie, or Arnold, then at least they'll know why we won't be there, tomorrow... and might help us if things don't go as planned, for some reason.
