Drip followed behind the two Stargate Pokemon, breathing a sigh of relief as they headed up to the Guild. She caught up with Rick as the Ralts headed inside. [color=00aeef]"Keep a close eye on them. I can't be the only one who's been noticing the shady guys around town lately..."[/color] She whispered to him as she waited at the entrance. Kale came out the entrance only moments later. [color=00a651]"Ah, Drip, I'm guessing the Tavern was okay."[/color] He said, stepping his foot into Ember's Vine Trap and looking down as the thorns dug into him, dealing little damage other than a light sting. [color=00a651]"What the..."[/color] He said, shaking it off and picking it up to take a closer look. [color=00a651]"Who could have done this..."[/color] He mumbled as he tossed the makeshift trap aside.

[color=00aeef]"They're all here, Kale."[/color] She said, Kale looking around him. There was the Togepi and Noibat, but he didn't see the Ralts anywhere. He assumed he had already gone inside, remembering hearing something about taking someone to Nigel. [color=00a651]"I gotcha. Arnold wants us stepping up patrols around town. He's getting paranoid, and for good reason. Something has to be done, and soon."[/color] He said, taking off into the skies. [color=00a651]"I'll catch you later at dinner. Be safe!"[/color] He shouted as he headed towards the far side of town.

Drip waited outside the entrance, taking the time to think about what she should do. The Pokemon from the Stargate were a priority, and she'd promised Miss Khangaskan she'd watch after the Ralts. So she'd wait for him until he headed back to the Tavern, and watch over him for the night. Dark times were ahead, that's for sure. She only hoped she'd have the nerve to face it...

As Eira turned and began to walk away quite depressed, the Vulpix suddenly launched in front of her, startling her and causing her to fall backwards again. [color=6ecff6]"H-help? With what?"[/color] She asked, now curious at to what the Vulpix was implying. She knew he was always working on some sort of plan, but she had no clue what they were. She'd heard him mention traps, so maybe he was training to be some kind of Dungeon Trap Buster... Whatever it was, it couldn't be that bad, could it?

[color=6ecff6]"I-I don't care about you helping me back. It could be fun... whatever it is..."[/color] She said quietly. Maybe through this experience she'd find out what he was really like. So far the first impression was quite different from what she thought, but maybe today was just a bad day for the guy.

Then she noticed as Ember's pupils shrunk as he heard a couple of Pokemon talking about something called The Swords. She had no idea what they were talking about, but clearly Ember did as he was clearly dismayed at hearing that they were approaching. Were they some kind of evil force? Was it something embarrassing for Ember? She couldn't recall anything that she knew of, except maybe the half a day where he was called 'Missy'.

As the four Pokemon Team reached the outskirts, a voice called down from above. [color=00a651]"Hey, down there!"[/color] It called, causing everyone to look up. A Tropius dropped down before them. [color=00a651]"I figured you bunch were bound to show up sometime."[/color] Kale said, Keldeo smirking. [color=dodgerblue]"That obvious, huh? It's been a while, old buddy. Are things as bad as we think?"[/color] Keldeo asked, Kale's expression turning serious as he nodded. [color=00a651]"Three Earthquakes in as many days. Just like before... Arnold will want to see you right away, catch you up on what's going on."[/color] He replied.

[color=steelblue]"As bad as we feared... other communities are facing the same dangers."[/color] Cobalion said solemnly, even Terrakion losing his usual grin. [color=8dc73f]"We can't protect them all, not this time..."[/color] Virizion replied. [color=a0410d]"Then we need to stop it before it starts. Let's get moving and start brainstorming!"[/color] Terrakion said. [color=dodgerblue]"Yeah, I'm sure if we can get everyone to work together we can stop it before it gets out of control like last time. Let's go!"[/color] Keldeo finished. [color=00a651]"I'll tell him you're coming. He'll be ready for you."[/color] Kale finished as he lifted off, heading back to the Guild. He hadn't flown like this in a long time. That wasn't a good thing. His days of peace were over once more.
