Margo exchanged the same look at Indigo, not quite sure she was seeing the same thing as him. Why were the pages all blank? Were they written in some sort of ink that wasn't visible to the naked eye? She bristled at Indigo's question, not sure if that could have anything to do with this but something sent a shock through her nerves at the idea. Asking her what they should do next, the teen quirked her mouth. I mean... what should they do next?

Thankfully, Indy had a brilliant idea and thus she gave a quick affirmative nod as she put the book into her backpack delicately--taking extra care to push some of the extra things she had in it to the side to protect it. Following Indy's lead, she smiled politely at the grumpy-looking librarian as he turned around and looked them over.

Following his gaze, Margo stared at the tree as he spoke about its history, holding her backpack straps. By the time he was done and Margo looked at him once more, the man's frown was still plastered on his face. Glancing in Indigo's direction, she made a face that said 'sheesh.'

But the two left the library, and began to ponder what to do next. She peeked over Indigo's shoulder as he searched the map on his pokedex. She couldn't say she wasn't surprised that Indigo wanted to walk ten hours to Jimmal, but maybe he was full of surprises to learn about.

"Sounds like a plan to meeee~" She sung the last word, drawing it out a bit as she took the sandwich offered to her. Margo was ready to scold Indy for not remembering what the old man said about the bag, but apparently he was also a better listener than she thought. "Yea, sure, I'm ready to not feel my legs for the next couple days," Giving a nonchalant shrug, Margo took a bite of her sandwich and began to make her way towards Jimmal, Winding Path taunting the two trainers before they even started.
Hey you guys. Thanks for being patient, my reply is going to take an extra couple days, I'm incredibly sorry about this.
I'll try my best to get something up within the next few days.
Again, I'm so sorry.
Margo felt incredibly at peace as they wandered the floors of the library. It was like the Nacrene City library... almost, dare she admit it, better.

Her fingers danced across the spines of the books as they slowly made their way through, occasionally stopping to glance through some of the old pages. It was a little strange to be walking through here with Indy and not Dan but she tried not to dwell on it-- it was strange in general considering she would always go to her own local library by herself. Rarely did she have friends come with her unless it was a school project. It felt... nice to have someone accompany her to this safe place.

The time passed a lot quicker than she realized, and by the time they were at the top, Margo was delighted to look over the railing at the floors below them. "I think I would live here if I could," Margaret sighed dreamily, placing her elbows on the railing and resting her chin in her hands. She closed her eyes for a moment and inhaled the library air once more, the smell of the old books intoxicating.

However, her pause was shortlived as she heard creaking and cracking, like a tree giving way to a gust of wing. And, much like what came to mind, a branch from the grand tree growing in the library was reaching out to them and blossoming before their eyes. She hastily jumped back from the railing, more out of surprise than anything, and looked at Indy in disbelief, wondering if he was seeing what she was. With the book now revealed within this blooming flower, Margo shot another skeptical look at Indy before realizing one of them should probably take it before the branch decided to snatch it back-- she would jump off this floor if it suddenly decided they weren't chosen ones due to hesitance.

She cautiously took a step forward and picked up the book with dainty hands, careful to not touch the flower if she could help it. Bringing the book to her chest, she didn't take her eyes from the branch, returning to Indy's side and presenting the book before the two of them. "Don't see that in every library either, hm?" Margo still didn't take her eyes from this magic tree before the teens.
Margaret nodded at Indy's soft exclamation at the beauty of the library. She put her hands into her backpack straps, tugging them slightly to keep a hold of herself. "This is pretty neat.." She murmured in agreement, staring at the large tree springing out from the library. She wondered how many pokemon called that majestic tree their home. It was more picturesque than any place they had been, in her opinion, and even pulled up the camera on her pokedex to take a quick picture or two for reference.

The teen didn't bother return Indigo's look until she felt his eyes on her, glancing his way and giving a shrug of indifference to his suggestion. "That would be good, hm?" She smiled at the librarian before leaning slightly to the side, looking around the woman at the tree again.

It really was almost magical, the smell of the old books and the serenity of the silence held within its wall.
Perfect so now Indy can reply in response to Margo along with the legendary pokemon encounter~

Margo flinched at the whistle and she flinched again as Pawpaw came bounding out from the thick forest, her hair blowing past her shoulders and her eyes screwed shut. She chanced one eye open and watched Zvi whisper something to the dragon. She was glad she was on Pawpaw's good side as they all climbed aboard and began their departure from Cloud Temple.

But then something strange started happening, the sky brightening as the clouds seemed to part ways for something's arrival. The teen squinted, wondering if she had seen something fly down from the hole in the sky or if she was imagining things--based on Zvi's excited command to the Drampa, perhaps she wasn't the only one. And so they flew to the top of Cloud Temple once more and were met with the back of a majestic-looking bird pokemon.

It was a brilliant crimson color, its feathers glimmering in the sunlight that shone down upon it like a spotlight--the pokemon looked like it was sitting atop its throne in all its glory. Its tail feathers were a vibrant yellow, fading into an almost blinding white color at the tips. The colors on the bird reminded Margo of a campfire she had sat around with her family at one time or another, feeling herself starting to get choked up by this mythical pokemon. She fumbled around with her backpack as she continued staring at the bird, pulling out her pokedex hurriedly, as if she was going to miss this opportunity. Bringing the red square out and attempting to take a picture to get an entry on the pokemon, she sucked in a breath as the bird suddenly turned around.

Margo's hands dropped, unable to bring herself to look at the bird with anything other than her eyes. The fierce animosity in the bird's eyes was palpable, feeling as if their eye contact was never going to break. But then, it started to fly away from the kids, Margo feeling an overwhelming sense of panic as it started to leave. For a brief moment, Margo felt like she was floundering, like she couldn't survive if she wasn't going to be around this bird. Thankfully Zvi was more focused on following the bird than she would have first thought, quickly launching himself into action and asking Pawpaw to follow the beast.

Margo wrapped her arms gingerly around Zvi like he requested, immediately tightening her grip once Pawpaw began to gain altitude, chasing after Ho-Oh with much more gusto than she had given him credit for. Despite her fear, the teen left her eyes open, looking up at the beautiful rainbow overhead, that panic from before washing away at the serene colors above them. She felt like she was at peace now.

By the time Ho-Oh had lost the teens, Margo was deep in thought with their sighting of the legendary pokemon. She put her pokedex back in her backpack and with a little help getting down from Indy, she said her goodbyes to Zvi and Pawpaw, not many words coming from her in reference to the legendary pokemon. She felt like she would taint the memory if she talked about it so soon, not sure if she really wanted to share her feelings about it right away; Margo was selfish and wished to think on it a bit more for herself first.

As the pair made their way to Zanna town with Zvi's directions, they spent most of their walk in silence. Margo felt as if the two were just getting to know each other all over again now that Dan was gone, unsure of if she should say something about it or not. It was too fresh of a wound, she supposed, but every once in a while she looked over at Indy curiously, wondering if she could find something to say to him that might make him feel better, or perhaps if she should just distract him with her own musings. It was all up in the air for the time being.

However, after an hour of hiking, the duo made it to Zanna Town with all their limbs attached--although Margo felt as if her legs might fall off. "Man, I think after I'm done hiking around this region I'm going to be a body builder," The teen whined her words but secretly thought that having the legs of a kick boxer might be pretty sweet. She took a look around the new town they'd be staying at and looked at Indy expectantly. "So where to, first?"
@Balthazar007

Hahaha I think Margo has enough pokemon atm, so we won't be catching another one as of right now. I did however already post in reaction to Dan's letter.... Should we both post one more time in the temple or do you want to go ahead with the Legendary Pokemon? I don't mind either way!

@prettydrops

But Zanna town sounds like a plaaaaan~
Margo was as shocked as Indy at the hermit's words, looking at Crowne and furrowing her brow. "He... just left?" She quirked her mouth at the idea--he was always the most rambunctious of the three. How could he have just left them out here without saying goodbye? Was he really that upset about what happened with Twiggy in Kanto? The teenager felt bad as Indy attempted to grab the attention of his friend up in the sky, moving to his side and placing a hand gingerly on his arm.

She read the letter over his shoulder, every few sentences glancing at his face to see if she could read what he was thinking. Her pokemon gathered with Indy's behind their trainers, exchanging some curious looks among one another. Margo finished reading before Indy, taking the tiniest of steps back as she waited for him to finish.

She felt a swell of pride in her chest from reading the letter--it was good that Dan was putting himself first! He was doing what he needed to do for himself and his pokemon, even if that meant leaving Margo and Indy behind because they were hindering his own personal adventure. She was proud of him for realizing that just because it might hurt them, Dan was doing what he needed to do for himself. She felt an even bigger wave of happiness wash over her as Indy finally spoke, expressing his own opinions on what Dan was doing.

Hearing the slightest reluctance from his voice, Margo gave him a look that asked him if he was ok, arching a brow skeptically. Nobu seemed to put it more into perspective for the two of them and the teen was grateful for his kind words.

"It's like the new start to our own journey together. Dan will be here in spirit with us, cheering us along the way like he would have if he had stayed!" Margo beamed at Indy, hoping to cheer him up. She knew he was probably hurting right now, but Nobu was right, they could move past this and become even better friends to support one another.
Margo could feel her legs getting a work out by the time they reached the top of the stairs, leaning over and resting for a moment, her hands on her knees. Once she pulled herself back up and stretched her back, the teenager admired the view. It was strange what kind of feelings were being evoked at the top of this place. She felt free, like something had been lifted from her shoulders, and everything seemed to melt away.

Any sort of stress or grumpiness she had had that morning was gone, nothing left in her mind besides the clouds overhead that drifted lazily across the sky. Indy's voice was faint but he said something about their pokemon, making her blink as she remembered them. Surely they'd love to experience this place but... her newest addition would probably cause some problems. She felt guilty as her thoughts immediately went to the way her Mankey had first tried to attack her. Still, she thought with a small shake of her head, her other pokemon didn't need to miss this opportunity.

Margo followed Indy's lead and let out her pokemon. Crowne was happy to have some fresh air, looking up into the sky and letting the sun wash over him. Poinsettia, a freshly-evolved Spewpa, opted to stand with Margo as well, pushing on her shin until she relented and picked up the little bug-type to give her a better view. Oceana and Wulford took flight and played tag with one another in the air, taking turns nipping at the others tail feathers as they merrily filtered between pillars. Julep decided to run around the broad platform, stretching his legs and chittering to himself happily. That twinge of guilt plucked at Margo's heartstrings but she stayed steadfast with her decision, instead turning her attention to the lack of Daniel.

"Do you think he's going to be ok getting up the steps? I thought he would be up here by now..." She cast the question to either of the two boys, turning to look down the steps they had come up and biting the inside of her cheek. She could feel the calm atmosphere beginning to dissipate from her mind.
