[Anthony] Before I could even object, an icicle ended up crashing right into my helmet, and I felt a weird... daze... "ALRIGHT, MAGGOTS! IT'S TIME WE TURNED YOU INTO MEN!" I shouted, though, of course, I didn't mean to say that... what I DID mean to do, however, was use that weird aura that appeared, again to heal whatever injuries the team had, and make it so their attacks hit two to five times in a row, regardless of whether or not they did so to begin with. "Alright, MAGGOTS, send the enemy your best barrage! NOW! FIRE AT WILL!" and on that word, I used dragon breath over and over again, dealing a decent amount of damage to kyurem, and even managing to paralyze it while I did so. Reshiram decided to use flamethrower, which, just like dragon breath, seemed to hit multiple times, in his case, four, and that didn't seem to sit too well with kyurem, as it started to look around for any sort of berries, or other healing items. "NOW, MAGGOTS! FINISH IT OFF! IT CAN'T HAVE TOO MUCH FIGHT LEFT IN IT!" I shouted, again, without my own say-so. I then finally shook off that daze, however, the effect of... whatever that was... was still active, thankfully. This could easily end up winning us the fight, and Kyurem tried its best to attack after the paralysis, but, of course... it didn't get too far, making the big bad ice guy lose a turn while Daniel just flew up to the paralyzed legendary, and just started beating the thing up with his wings, using wing attack five times, and dealing quite a bit of damage... and while Devon somehow found the strength to lift the thing, and just slam it against all of the walls, the ceiling, and the floor, using psychic at least four times with that, and, of course, dealing even more damage. [hr] [Spruce] Rebecca seemed to suggest that we split up, and I nodded at that almost by complete mistake. The bronzor then said "Yes, I think that splitting up here would work to our advantage. Spruce and Celes should bring the guildmaster back to his guild, while the rest of us should keep exploring... if they were able to harvest a piece of... THAT THING... then we have to get rid of whatever they used to take it, right?" after that, the guildmaster started following me, saying "I know the message said to skip Treasure town, and never come back, but I think my guild needs me... so, I'll take you guys back there!" I then held out my badge, and just teleported him, and us, back to Arnold's guild, and I quietly led him out of the place... after which he just started spinning while walking back to his guild. "Yeah, still the same guildmaster... let's hope he actually finds his way back after getting himself that dizzy," I said as I looked at the SOS board for the first time in a while. It seems like there were a few missions that weren't already taken, including one involving a missing Arcanine in the northern forest... wait... weren't we THERE? Didn't we find an arcanine while we were there? Seems like the arcanine's friend, listed as 'Barry' has been looking for him for years. That... that can't be true. I took the paper from the board, and immediately showed it to Celes, who teleported in with me, and as I showed her, I asked "Celes, do you remember that crazy arcanine who attacked us, and called everyone 'Barry'? I sure do, I just didn't think Barry was a real pokemon, let alone that he was LOOKING for this arcanine," [hr] [Nina] As soon as Rebecca said they should split up, the bronzor explained that there was more to be done, but he WANTED us to split up for some reason, and, unfortunately, we lost our three most powerful allies all in an instant as they all just teleported away. "Well, I was going to suggest we stick together, since splitting up like this was the WORST thing we could have done," I said, annoyed, and just as they left, a group of dragon types walked up to us... welp. In the group, there was a dragonite, a salamence, and a hydreigon, and they seemed to come from the hallway that led to our left... maybe that's where we should go, next. I decided to just use a flash tackle on one of them, revealing a very important-looking door behind the trio... maybe that's what we were here for, or, at least, maybe our client will be satisfied once we get there, and, of course, it dealt some damage to the dragonite, nowhere near as much as I had hoped, but at least it wasn't at full health, anymore. The dragonite then decided to attack me with dragon rush, sending me flying back to my team, and causing the bronzor to try to use iron defense, yet again, as if his earlier usages of the move wore off, or something. "Guys... I found an... important-looking door..." I said through my daze, and yes, of course, I was dazed, I was sent back to a metal wall with a powerful, dragon-type attack, I'm just surprised that I wasn't knocked out with that. [hr] [Bonnie] The gallade was still confused, and he took the hit, but that didn't seem to slow him down, too much, and oddly enough, neither did Tini's fairy wind. "I won't buy any encyclopedias... what do you think I am? An idiot? Goodbye sun, goodbye moon, goodbye June, goodbye hon," Tini seemed to believe every word the gallade was jabbering while confused, so I just had to wonder what he'll say about THIS one. I then mustered up as much hate for my father as I could, and focused it all into a frustration attack, dealing some decent damage to him, and he fired back with a close combat, this time, actually hitting me, and... and I didn't die... I wasn't even knocked out. Sure, it hurt, but have I really gotten THAT much stronger? That can't be right. He then looked over to Tini, specifically, and said "Only idiots buy encyclopedias thinking that they have ALL the knowledge of the world in them... spittoon, golden spittoon... that's not what you should have stolen..." he then kept trying to look in a single direction, but it seems like the world was still spinning in his mind, which was very good for us. [hr] [Magma] It seemed like Gavin had a plan, and I wasn't one to say no to something like that, so, I put myself in a position that didn't allow the wurmple to escape, and, of course, he backed away from Gren as soon as Gren attacked him, only to bump into me. "Where do you think you're going, hm? Sorry, but I'm not about to just let you escape," I then used ember on him, again, dealing serious damage, and causing him to just throw the bag at Gavin, with him shouting "ALRIGHT, THAT'S IT! I thought you were an easy mark, but NOOOO! You had to just DOG me for some stupid, random seeds and other garbage! I'm getting out of here!" I then noticed that he dropped his badge, and I picked it up, just to press a weird button on it that teleported me, my allies, and Hudson over to... somewhere that had a wooden floor. Hudson seemed to be scared of this place, but, of course, he still couldn't move, and soon enough, a couple of magnemite showed up just to take him away... they even handed Gavin some golden coins as a reward. What an odd interaction, but I assumed that they'd explain what just happened, and if not, asking them about it would make me seem suspicious. One thing I did notice, however, was the fact that it teleported BOTH of the aron with me, Gren, and the one that was still acting like a turtle on its back. I weighed my options, and just decided to flip him back over, and explain "I guess you're one of our allies, now? Welcome to the um... team?"
