Whatever it was, though, Novis apparently had it, and as the lady began to talk, he stood up a little straighter. His face shifted from the angry look he had to a much more... entertained expression. He was as excited as he was before, but in an instant, the focus shifted from petty revenge to a determination to help. Or maybe it was a determination to win, an equally petty urge to show off? Who knows. Regardless, the trio listened attentively as the researcher lady quickly-- well, not [i]that[/i] quickly -- briefed them on what was up. Apparently, after having sneaked in among tourists, a group of malicious thugs started to scare off the civilians and everyone else so that they could use their machinery without opposition. By the sounds of it, they were using Pokemon to hold back anyone that was trying to interrupt them. Of course, that meant they needed the strongest trainers possible, and enter the Three Escavaliers!... or something like that. Either way, Nov was filled with emotion, fists clenched and eyes burning up. By the looks of it, the others were fired up as well. Nothing was gonna stop this party of angry teens! [color=red]"Forget the Yamask!"[/color] Nov shouted, throwing his arm out dramatically and pointing further into the ruins. Nier barked to accentuate Nov's point, shooting out small embers from its nostrils. [color=red]"I'll deal with it later. For now, we gotta stop those thugs! I doubt the security's gonna stop 'em before they start breakin' shit, so it's now or never!"[/color] Rox was similarly pissed off, but in a much angrier way. Nov found it almost entertaining to watch her go off like that, shouting about the "abominations" they were gonna go mess up. He couldn't help but laugh as she charged off without delay; the energy was clearly lost on her two Pokemon, who struggled to even keep up. [color=red]"C'mon, Aiden, let's go!"[/color] Nov pointed towards the ruins before jogging off after Roxy, Nier instigating Zorex to follow with a bit of rough-housing. As the group progressed into the ruins, Nov couldn't help but notice how it grew a little harder to breath. The muggy, dust-filled air felt stagnant in his lungs, and even though he was glad to get out of the sand-pelting breeze outside, the walls blocking any wind created an oppressive atmosphere. Regardless, that wasn't important. A little musty air never killed anyone, but the same might not be true for Roxy soon... [center][b]| Zamak Ruins (Entrance) |[/b][/center]
