[h2][color=darkturquoise]Devon the Totodile[/color] and [color=cadetblue]Brick the Poliwrath[/color][/h2][b][Folio's Trunk - Waypoint][/b] [@Shiny Keldeo][@Ninian] Lilisette waved off the Glaceon's guilt and embarrassment, Devon rocked back on his feet a bit. [color=darkturquoise]"It's all good, we're not offended. And uh..."[/color] Looking over at the blue Kirlia for a moment, the little Totodile put a hand to his chin and looked to the ceiling for a moment. [color=darkturquoise]"I...I can't remember how old I am either. I thought evolution didn't have anything to do with age though?"[/color] Shaking his head, the Water-type then looked back to the three new comers and gripped the strap of his bag. The gold badge pinned to it glittering. A grin spreading across his maw as the Kirlia praised their team. [color=darkturquoise]"You got that right! I'm Devon,"[/color] Pointing his thumb claws to the Bayleef and Quilava, he continued. [color=darkturquoise]"And this is Ember and Selena. It's really cool, I didn't think we'd meet Pokémon from another Guild way out in the middle of nowhere."[/color] When the Absol looked over to Brick, the Poliwrath simply gave a stern stare, and nodded silently. When the other trio expressed their excitement for teaming up, Devon smiled at them before lowering his voice, and turning around to look at his own team and cross his tiny arms. [color=darkturquoise]"I think we should. Sure, we just met them, but they're Guildies too, right? If we have the option for help, we might as well take it. Ember's got a point too, he might not mess with us if we got a bigger group."[/color] Turning to look back to Team Sanctuary, the tiny blue croc nodded. [color=darkturquoise]"Sure, let's go together! With all of us working together, getting to the next town'll be easy."[/color] [h2][color=a0c9a1]Glyph the Flygon[/color][/h2][b][Folio Town - Glyde's House][/b] [@Shiny Keldeo] Despite the reassurance of his health, Glyph still bore a look of concern as he looked to the old Typhlosion. [color=a0c9a1]"Yes, of course. We can talk in the study."[/color] Turning to look down at the small Trapinch still standing behind him, the Flygon pointed off into the house. [color=a0c9a1]"Glen, go find your mother and stay with her for a bit. I need to speak to these two alone."[/color] The little orange mon gave a big frown, before opening his large jaws. [color=Chocolate]"Aw, but uncle, I wanna know what's up!"[/color] [color=a0c9a1]"No 'but's, Glen. Go on now."[/color] The Dragon stated firmly, before the little Ground-type sighed and walked off. Once his nephew had left, the Guildmaster gestured for Pepper and Fuse to follow him further into the house as he closed the door behind them. [b][Glyde's House - Study][/b] The large green Dragon sat down on a rather large wooden chair as the Fire-type began to recall his tales. An expression of intense interest and focus plastering his rounded face as he listened intently to the old badger's wise warning. [color=a0c9a1][i]So he was correct....Another dungeon, another community of Pokémon....And another wise soul that has already seen the inevitable....Arceus help us all....Why must this happen?[/i][/color] A deep exhale came from Glyph as Pepper finished his tale, and both him and Fuse turned to him for an answer as to what their next move would be. His fingers lacing as he sat up straight, and stare them both down with a veil serious air that hid behind it a thick sorrow. [color=a0c9a1]"Pepper....I....We, already knew about the approaching destruction meant to befall our town. Preparations for the evacuation of all of our citizens have already begun as of this morning. Our only option, as much as it pains me to admit, is to abandon Folio."[/color] Antennae drooping, the old mon looked past them. A shuttered wood window offering a crack of sunlight that looked out upon the neighbourhood outside. [color=a0c9a1]"I had a strong feeling, that from the very beginning, that 'darkness' the Sibyl spoke of in her prophecy would involve Xicu in someway. For years, she's been troubled by emotions she could not control, which led to her isolating herself within Folio's roots with her follows. Finding a way to rival her influence and new found power now, in such little time with little direction, would be foolish, and would put all of us at risk."[/color] A rather sad chuckle escaped the Flygon, before he continued, looking to Pepper in particular. [color=a0c9a1]"Though things may seem rather bleak, there is still hope to be found even as this disaster descends on us. Part of that hope, Pepper, lies within your daughter. She's formed a Team with other children from town, and one of those children, is a human. The same creatures spoken of in legend across the continents. I hold a firm belief that their Team will be the ones to find and wield the power that will be able to rival our enemies."[/color]
