[Spruce] The group finally made it to crystal chasm, and Celes warned me that someone might be following us. I simply nodded at that, and looked behind me at the group, who seemed to be discussing something. Unfortunately, I didn't have Celes' ears, or a decent sense of hearing, so I couldn't hear what they were talking about. The nidoran took one step in the chasm, and used the button on the map immediately. Somehow, by some miracle, the entire cave seemed to shift, change, and move until it resembled the map that they were holding. [i]If... they have technology like that, why are we still getting lost in these dungeons!?[/i] I thought as I saw the event unfold. Unsurprisingly, this also seemed to scare away most, if not all of the wild pokemon, and the few that weren't scared because of that seemed to be scared me just due to my rank. I wanted to say something, but I was stunned, both at the cave's natural beauty, and the whole 'button that can shift dungeons around' thing. "Hey, wake up! We still kind of need you, our mission didn't really involve the wild pokemon!" Apparently, that was the sound of the nidoran snapping me out of my stunned state, and I simply followed along, not really answering any questions that came up, and, soon enough, we found a somewhat odd looking bit of floor that made the bronzor write something in the center of the room, opening up a trap door that led... somewhere completely different. [hr] [Nina] I nodded in agreement with Dexter on this one, we needed to get rid of that thieving team as soon as we could, and... honestly, I was hoping to track them down, myself since they stole our mission. They seemed fast, but not particularly strong. We finally made it to the cave, and I made sure that I was in the right position to use the map... and with a press of a button, the layout of the entire cave changed. It was quite a sight, too, as entire chunks of the cave seemed to just levitate around others to get into their new position, often leaving giant holes in the ground. Was... this was mystery dungeons did just to change their layout every time someone visits them? If so, then who, or what would have enough power to do that? The snivy seemed to be daydreaming after that, so, I took it upon myself to try to snap him out of it. "Hey, wake up! We still kind of need you, our mission didn't really involve the wild pokemon!" I also felt like he thought our mission would be even easier now that the wild pokemon were running away from us, but, no, they weren't even really a factor in this. I then unfurled the map, and walked in the path it described, eventually coming across an oddly empty room. "Don't worry, I still know how to get in... unless they changed it, which they would probably do if they were smart..." he start trailing off as he drew a strange symbol in the center of the room, which glowed with a pale green light for a few moments, and produced a trap door immediately afterwards. "Looks like this is the place, let's go, everyone," I said as I jumped down into the trap door. The floor in the new place seemed to be made out of a painted, white metal making it look very clean, and feel VERY cold to the touch... that wasn't very pleasant to me, but I could probably handle it, so long as I don't freeze, or something. [hr] [Bonnie] Tini seemed to try to hug the hawlucha, and that... was not what I wanted him to do. "Um... Tini? That fighting type is a bad guy, and he'll hurt us a lot if you don't use your power of fairyness to stop him, okay?" I tried my best to explain things in a way he'd understand, but I'm not sure if I understood what I said, there. Eralion seemed to want to counter something, but the hawlucha couldn't quite move, let alone attack, with Tini around him. [i]If only I had a decent way to damage him... ugh.[/i] I thought as I looked around for anything that might help us. That's when I found a stalactite hanging from the ceiling, right above the bird-wrestler... thing. "Hold on, Eralion, I think I've got this one," I said as I focused, and tried to use a high jump kick on the stalactite, hoping to break it, and make it fall on the enemy, but, unfortunately, my kick wasn't strong enough to break it, but it did crack it, and thankfully, I was able to land gracefully back on the ground without damaging myself, at all. "Er... maybe next time?" I assured Eralion, who probably thought I was crazy for attacking the scenery instead of our opponent. [hr] [Anthony] "Yeah, I guess you're right. Maybe I should read less comics," I replied to Josh informing me that mirrors don't work that way, even if it would be really helpful if they did. After that, I turned towards M, and asked "Hey, M, do you have any of those moves? Flash cannon, or Mirror shot? Uh... M...?" he didn't respond to me, Reshiram, OR Josh, and he just sort of floated there, sparks randomly coming out of him every now and then... that didn't seem right, at all. "I believe he's malfunctioning..." Reshiram reported to us, though, I had no idea what he meant by that, so I simply asked "Malfunctioning?" to which, he responded "It means he's not working right... like if an elevator can't go up, or if your badge stops sending you back to the guild," that actually helped my confusion, and I just nodded and tried to continue on, making my way to the left wall of the maze, first, and going from there. On my way, however, a group consisting of a goodra, a graveler, and an oddly familiar-looking arcanine appeared. They blocked our way forward, and they all tried to attack me, the arcanine going for a simple bite, the goodra trying to use dragon pulse (thank goodness for the tough helmet), and the graveler opting to use magnitude, which shook the ground pretty well, and was probably on the higher end of the magnitude scale, unfortunately. I didn't see ANY of this coming, so I just took ALL that damage, and couldn't even counter any of it, much to my displeasure.
