[Spruce] With only a bit of convincing from the nidoran, it seems like the other team was more than ready to let us join them for this mission... whatever the mission was. Of course, the growlithe on their team seemed to be less than happy about this, and he tried to storm off to the cafe, complaining about them recruiting complete strangers... of course, I knew that I wasn't going to do anything to them, that is, unless this whole thing DID somehow turn out to be illegal, which I doubted it would, of course, even then, the plan wouldn't be to turn to the opposite side, I would simply leave the area with my badge, and refuse to fight if I learned that this mission wasn't legal. While Celes probably thought she was prying, it was true, we did kinda need to know a little bit about this mission, so, I simply asked "Where, exactly, is this mission, anyways?" to which, the nidoran answered "Oh, it's in Crystal Chasm," [i]Crystal Chasm? Isn't that place easy to go through, even for beginners?[/i] I thought as I noticed a strange map with a button on it in the ralts' hands, and I asked "Why does that map have a button on it?" The nidoran didn't seem to want to answer, and I doubted I would get an answer out of the growlithe, who was still heading to the cafe before the nidoran said "Our mission's not in the cafe. Let's just head to Crystal Chasm, alright?" I then started heading there, myself, hopefully, with at least someone else following me, else it would look like I just abandoned everyone. [hr] [Anthony] As Josh used his poison to help Reshiram get out of that tight opening, and told Kamina to push the legendary through, I looked at the others... more specifically, I looked at M, and I remembered him using lightning, which... I dunno, the mirrors might reflect, so, after some thought, and the rest of the team continuing to help Reshiram, I asked "So, M, do you think you could reflect a lightning attack so it'll hit as much of the maze as possible, except where we are, now?" I knew it wouldn't do much, but it would still soften up the enemies, with them having already taken at least one attack, or, at least, the ones that weren't ground types. Either way, if it was possible for him to do that, then all the better to weak our enemies, right? I continued waiting as the team continued helping Reshiram, and once he was out, he coughed a few times, implying that he either got dust in his mouth, or that he ended up poisoned from our strategy, and he said "Thank you all... I'm not sure if I would have been able to make it through there without angering my brother... shame about the poison, though..." he then lumbered over to M, as if he was curious about what he was trying to do, after that. [i]Why is Reshiram so interested in M?[/i] I asked myself as I started heading through the maze, again, my slime leaving a trail behind me. [hr] [Nina] The snivy finally decided to ask me where this mission was taking place, and I answered with a simple "Oh, it's in Crystal Chasm," which probably got him thinking that we weren't very good at our job, given that Crystal Chasm is usually meant for beginners, and he eventually found the map that Rebecca was holding, causing him to ask why it has a button on it. Instead of answering that, I turned my attention towards Dexter, who was heading into the cafe, and instead of yelling at him, like I thought I should, I said, in an oddly calm voice "Our mission's not in the cafe. Let's just head to Crystal Chasm, alright?" I then waited for Rebecca to start moving, something that the snivy didn't do, as he just walked off on his own, either bored of us, or tired of waiting. Before the sylveon had a chance to leave, I asked "Wait, what's your name? If you're going to help us on this, we might as well learn your names, right?" to which, I told her my name with a simple "I'm Nina," I then heard some rustling in some nearby bushes, and some muttering about 'quick seeds', but whoever they were, they ran off before I could scold them... they were probably that same group that stole our last mission, too. I then headed over to Dexter, and whispered "Keep a nose out, I just heard the thugs in those bushes..." after that, I told Rebecca to "Watch out, we got thieves running around," she probably knew what I meant, at least, I hoped so, but if she asks, I'll just tell her what I meant, plain and simple. [hr] [Bonnie] The room lit up the moment Tini used Fairy Wind for some... unexplained reason, and that 'huge' pokemon... was just a bunch of baby pokemon, and an onix, none of whom were really that tough, and most of whom just ran away at the sight of Eralion. "Whew... that was less dangerous than I thought it would be," I admitted to everyone else as I continued down a hallway that led in a vaguely eastwards direction, as well as upwards, being a ramp. Before we could get to the next puzzle of this place, we encountered a hawlucha, as well as a medicham behind him. I couldn't see anything behind the medicham, but I figured that either Eralion or Tini would be better for facing off against the fighting bird, so I tried to swap places with whomever was directly behind me, hoping that it was Tini. Whomever it was, I gave them a simple pat on the back, and whispered "Good luck," to them, knowing that I won't be much more help in a narrow hallway like this. After that was done, I waited, and tried to pay attention to any odd noises, or smells, though, I couldn't really hear much other than the battle... maybe we still had a long ways to go, as unfortunate as that was.
