[Anthony] Josh seemed to lay out a plan, I was going to head back and find a pecha berry while he was to dislodge reshiram from his current... issue. All of this was while Kamina, M, and the mystery Kadabra were running a distraction, though, if the ice types were all down by the time I got back, I wouldn't be surprised. "Right, on it!" I said to Josh with a mock salute before sliding off into the previous room to look around the place... for a while, all I could see was a blanket of snow on the icy floor, and the almost blinding light coming off of the icy walls surrounding the room, but, eventually, I noticed a small lump in the snow, and headed over to it, only to get ambushed by a graveler, who tried to attack me with rollout... a lucky dodge stopped the attack from hitting me, thankfully, and then I tried to dig the thing out as fast as I could, which, it turns out, wasn't that fast, since another rollout was aimed at me before I could get it. This time, however, I wasn't expecting it, and I took... oddly little damage despite the icy floor speeding up, and probably powering up the attack. The berry in hand, I used muddy water just before I left, probably knocking out the graveler, and then I finally returned to Josh. "I... I got one, I think..." I said to him as I held out the obviously frozen berry. I figured a layer of ice wouldn't really be too much of an obstacle for a pokemon that can just create fire, so I didn't really bother thawing it out, myself, and thankfully, by the time I got back, Reshiram was past the archway and in the middle of the fight, breathing fire on the enemy ice types... yeah, the fight was pretty much over by then. [hr] ["Magma"] [i]I really hope I see that town, soon...[/i] I thought as I tried to hurry through the forest, and, while I scurried around, I caught bits of a conversation between a gible and a wurmple... at first, it seemed like the two were on a team, however, at some point, the wurmple led the gible over a river, and to a clearing that was probably far enough away from civilization for him to try what he did... he tried to KILL the poor dragon type with his poison, though, the dragon type resisted it, and only passed out, thankfully... what wasn't so lucky was that the wurmple decided to just steal everything the gible had on him... no, I wasn't going to let this kind of thing stand. That wasn't the wurmple's stuff! He shouldn't take it! As soon as I was able, I leapt from my hiding place, and spewed forth an ember attack, hoping to knock the thing out in one hit, and or burn it, though, unfortunately, neither thing happened, and while I got him to drop some of the gible's coins, he ate some weird seed and just teleported away immediately after. "Agh... we can't let this stand! Mister Gible, we have to find him, and fight him! That guy has all your stuff," I said to the gible... and then I realized that I never introduced myself, and I added "Uh... my name's Magma... I'm from the Ashen Volcano, a fire-type mystery dungeon," after that, I shook his hand, as I've learned that most civilized pokemon do when they meet each other, and then I got a vision... one of a garchomp holding off a horde of enemies with a spear, one that even had a metal spearhead, while a salazzle lay there, unconscious... [i]I... really hope that never ends up happening...[/i] I thought to myself, knowing full well who that salazzle was, and if the garchomp was using the spear, rather than moves, it HAD to be a desperate situation... maybe, just maybe this vision won't come true... I really hope won't, at any rate. [hr] [Spruce] The guildmaster tried to use double-edge on me, but, Celina's chains finally came in handy in this fight, causing him to trip and fall... even if it didn't seem like much trouble for him, given that he somehow used his agility and grace to make it look like an acrobatics trick, it DID still stop him from attacking us. "Whew... that was close," I said as I used coil again, only to see the guildmaster heal from his wish... and then try to set up another one for later. I could hear Nina screaming in rage, by now, even if I was across the room from her, and she just seemed to LOSE it as she put herself right in front of the guildmaster and kept trying to poison sting him, as rapidly as she could, all while shouting about how we're never going to knock this guy out... I would have tried to calm her down, but something told me that she wasn't going to listen to me at this point, anyways, especially since she didn't seem to be listening to Rebecca, who was trying to calm her down, herself. Of course, all of that ended with Nina taking a hyper voice right to the ears, at point-blank range, flinging her backwards and knocking her out. [i]I guess he countered all her shouting with a shout of his own... I'm sure Vine would have had some joke about some human video game if he were here...[/i] I thought as I just bode my time, using coil one more to increase my stats yet again... next turn, that's when I was going to do something. [hr] [Nina] The guildmaster, who was already on fire, and covered in acidic chemicals ended up tripping... and then doing a double front flip to a somersault and then even finishing it off by showing off that he was just fine... "I guess he's not the type to just 'fall' is he?" Rebecca said to me, causing me to shrug before I saw the guildmaster heal... and then pray again. No, I was NOT going to get caught in this loop, I was NOT going to just have him heal every other turn, this was NOT going to happen... of course, that's what I thought I said, but it came out as "AAAAAGH! F*** THAT HEALING S***!" instead, despite me having never sworn before in my life. In my rage, I jumped right in front of the guildmaster, and tried to use poison sting as if it was also the move fury swipes. "Uh, Nina, I get that there's a practical use for rage in combat, but I really don't think this is the time for that," Rebecca warned as I continued on. "Nina, you're not tough enough to JUST stand in front of this guy, he's going to-" she didn't even finish her warning the second time as my ears were blasted, and my body was flung backwards from a hyper voice attack... one that I could have prevented if I had kept a cool head... welp. I tried to move, I tried to speak, but nope, I was knocked out... that attack hurt me way too much... and I might even be deaf once I wake up from this... great, that's what we need, right? A deaf party member? I kept going over what I could have done differently in that scenario, and pretty much every alternate scenario started with me not going into full rage mode... for example, there was a loose ceiling tile I probably could have told someone about, and there were a few wire things that had sparks coming off of them... that might have helped... and if that failed, there was a heavy bookcase behind me that we might have been able to use. [hr] [Bonnie] Tini said something about me now having a stalker, and while I was about to point out that using that move was NECESSARY to get across that chasm the first time, I was interrupted by Eralion mumbling something about how that throh shouldn't 'try anything'... when did HE become interested in me? [i]Maybe Tini's right... Eralion has clearly seen me use that move too many times, and it's making him slowly go crazy...[/i] I thought as I continued following that throh, who thankfully didn't get too far. He approached me as soon as he saw me, and once he got to me, he decided to give me a BIG, almost painful hug "So... ack... how did you get across here?" I managed to ask through his aggressive hugging. My question caused him to stop hugging and just lead me, and, I assume, the rest of my team to what appeared to be a hidden door... he then gestured for me to try to touch it, and, it didn't seem to respond. Confused, he tried it, himself, and the hidden door just flung open... did that mean that the door would ONLY open for pokemon that lived in this dungeon? How would it even know? Heck, there are some teams that have a bunch of pokemon from different dungeons, if they brought a teammate that they recruited here, would THEY be able to use this door? Either way, the door led to a passageway that led right to the other side of the chasm, where we could now look for a certain villain's hiding spot.
