Crush: Open
Ability: Huge Power
Moveset: Iron Head, Poison Fang, Play Rough, Flamethrower
Held item: Mawilite
Bag: Rinka Berry x6, Silver Gummi x5, Big Apple x1, Silver Spike x16
Other: Croi is a bit of double-edged sword, putting up a sweet and charmingly endearing facade with others while she masks her devious and troublesome nature. She's generally kind and tame, however, you can never been too sure when she'll strike with one of her less than harmless pranks. She often likes to spike sweets with spices for her own enjoyment- both for eating and watching the expressions of unsuspecting eaters. Croi also has a strange fondness for her two mouths, which she treats almost like pets. She has named the left Dante and the right Maw.

Name: [tip=Ahy-leet-ah]Aelita[/tip] [tip=Uh-moo-er]Amour[/tip]

Crush: Open
Ability: Aroma Veil
Moveset: Aromatic Mist, Psychic, Moonblast, Flash Cannon
Held item: Odd Incense
Bag: Mysterious Gummi x3, Grimy Food x17, Pecha Berry x8, Geo Pebble x17
Other: Despite being mild-tempered, Aelita can grow a bit whiny and acts like a spoiled child when she doesn't get what she wants. She finds her partner's antics humorous and has no trouble laughing at those who fall victim to Croi's pranks, but she becomes greatly offended and hurt when she wanders blindly into the pranks herself. However, such doesn't last long as she easily forgives and forgets. She also has a bit of a wise streak, though it may not always be apparent to others. She greatly adores cute and scented things, and often finds it enjoyable to pamper Croi as the Mawile doesn't care how she looks either way.

Name: [tip=Han-uh-hee-mey]Hanahime[/tip] "Hana" [tip=Thawrn-kroun]Thorncrown[/tip]
Species: Gardevoir (Mega)
Age: 22 years
Level: 69

Crush: Open
Ability: Pixilate
Moveset: Hyper Beam, Magical Leaf, Synchronoise, Disarming Voice
Held item: Gardevoirite
Bag: Cacnea Spike x5, Corsola Twig x5, Micle Berry x3, Gold Gummi x2
Other: Hana is a bit of an odd ball; she is sweet, open, and a bit oblivious with others, however, she has a thin strand holding her sanity together that often snaps with ease. During her sudden sparks of insanity, her behavior is crazed and erratic, and she acts spontaneously. She's often seen funny and a bit quirky when such happens during guild parties and other cheery events, but she can be very dangerous with her unpredictability during battle.

Name: [tip=Am-ee-ree-ah]Amarilla[/tip] '[tip=A-mee]Ami[/tip]' [tip=Ro-sah]Rosa[/tip]

Crush: Open
Ability: Pickup
Moveset: Nuzzle, Parabolic Charge, Iron Tail, Gunk Shot
Held item: Pink Ribbon (One the base of her tail)
Bag: Gold Fang x4, Stick x15, Yellow Gummi x7, Apple x2
Other: Ami is a bit of a cheery dimwit who sticks around Hana, often riding on the Gardevoir's shoulders. She's always brightly optimistic and sweet almost to the point where it is annoyingly sickening. She's not always the biggest help with Hana, as she can be quite counterproductive during Hana's 'snapping moments'. Such often occurs when Ami unknowingly goads Hana into a situation which isn't necessarily good for her mental state of being. However, other than that, Ami is a friend that worries over others when she can understand if they aren't feeling like they should and often attempts to help cheer them up.

Name: [tip=Al-jer-nuh-n]Algernon[/tip] [tip=Fits]Fittz[/tip]
Species: Goodra

Ability: Gooey
Moveset: Infestation, Muddy Water, Power Whip, Dragon Tail
Held item: Joy Band
Bag: Royal Gummi x12, Grimy Food x22, Enormous Apple x4
Other: Algernon, or 'Al' to those who are lazy, is a overly friendly and warm-aired member who often acts as the guy to show newbies around. He's almost always seen eating as it is his favorite past time, along with his partner. Sometimes he can seem like too young for his age and he is often seen as innocent, but he has wisdom behind hi bright and goofy words. He's the kind of person you go to for advice or just purely for comfort and he never turns anyone in need of help away.

Name: [tip=On-koh]Anko[/tip] [tip=Jak-er-jaw]Jaquerjaw[/tip]
Species: Quilava (Shiny)

Crush: Open
Ability: Flash Fire
Moveset: Crush Claw, Flame Charge, Wild Charge, Dig
Held item: Magenta Ribbon
Bag: Red Gummi x10, Cheri Berry x3, Sitrus Berry x3, Custap Berry x3
Other: Anko is a cheery character who is seen more times eating than Algernon as she is in constant need of energy due to her extremely high metabolism and high rate of fuel used- burning her flames. She's charmingly witty, somewhat sarcastic, and her attention is often lost to the wind if the topic isn't interesting enough. She's spunky and pleasantly fun to be around, even if she manages to forget about you in exchange for food. Because of this, her team is often joked as Team Munchie.

Name: [Ih-van-juh-let]Evangalette[/tip] [tip=Al-ef-crad]Alfcrad[/tip]

Held item: Absolite
Bag: Black Gummi x5, Reviver Seed x1, Vanish Seed x1, Warp Seed x1, Life Seed x1, Allure Seed x1, Eyedrop Seed x1, Evil Seed x1, Blast Seed x3
Other: Eva a gentle and soft-spoken pokemon who relies more of the trickery of items than the brute force of her raw and very honed power. She's one to show both mercy and brutality, and her wisdom is not one to be judged lightly. Eva's practically a buffer for her partner's rash and rude behavior and she is greatly revered within the guild, having been known for working with the Guildmaster more than anyone else besides the Guildmaster's own partner.

Name: [tip=Nah-z-oh-me]Nazomi[/tip] [tip=Bloo-bel]Bluebell[/tip]
Species: Furfrou (Kabuki Cut)

Moveset: Cotton Guard, Snarl, Role Play, Dark Pulse
Held item: Indigo Ribbon
Bag: White Gummi x8, Decoy Orb x3, Petrify Orb x3, Brushoff Orb x3, Trawl Orb x1, Lum Berry x6
Other: Foul-tempered and snooty, Nazomi isn't really one who's pleasant to be around. She seems to always want to find fault with others, and such helps to better define her inferiority complex. The only who can tame her ego is Evangalette, and because Nazomi revers her so much, she easily feels ashamed when Eva has to scold her. She is rarely ever seen sporting a different haircut, and has never been seen by anyone in her uncut pelt.

Name: [tip=Ah-rah-nah-ran-hah]Aranaranja[/tip] 'Ara' [tip=Prim-rohz]Primrose[/tip]

Crush: Open
Ability: Flower Veil
Moveset: Petal Dance, Petal Blizzard, Fairy Wind, Flower Shield
Held item: Rose Incense
Bag: Grass Gummi x7, Tasty Honey x13, Roseli Berry x10
Other: Ara is cheerful flower child of a pokemon whose bright optimism spreads like a plague through the guild. She is always seen roaming about the guild and Whimswood without a purpose other than to sped her time in peace. Often, newcomers mistaken her for a lazy guild apprentice who had long since missed her graduation. However, her power in battle is nearly unknown to all as when she fights, she always holds back and leave her opponents with berries to heal themselves.

Stationed Village: Whimswood
Appearance: Da Chessy

Crush: Open
Ability: Bulletproof
Moveset: Wood Hammer, Frenzy Plant, Spiky Shield, Needle Arm
Held item: Sticky Barb
Bag: Golden Twig x14, Grass Gummi x18, Chestnut x10
Other: A bit slow-witted, Kaa remains Ara's closest friend as it was the young Fairy type who had nursed him from an egg and raised him up to the grand pokemon that he is now. He understands that his partner doesn't like battling, thus he acts as her protector as best as he can. Often he allows her to ride upon his back and he finds great pleasure in seeing her smiling. Funny as it is, he is often mistaken as the Guildmaster by newcomers.

Name: Applette Amberline
Species: Bulbasaur
Age: 10 years
Gender: Male
Team Type: Prosecution
Team: Team Terra Kits
Rank: Diamond
Status: Scout
Guild: Pixiemire
Stationed Village:
Appearance: [hide=Pic][/hide]
Nature: Adamant (Likes- Spicy, Dislikes- Dry)
Crush: Open
Ability: Overgrow
Moveset: Seed Bomb, Vine Whip,
Poison Powder, Grass Knot
Held item: Miracle Seed
Bag: Grass Gummi x4, Apple x12, Oran Berry x6
Other: Apple was given a girl's name when born, and though he's a male, he is often mistaken for a female. This usually upsets the young Bulbasaur and sets him off into a meaningless rant of anger. He has a bit of short temper, though despite this, he is more understanding and respectful to his mother than his sister is. He does, however, share Sage's annoyance with Poppy from time to time and to be honest, its more from embarrassment than annoyance.

Name: Sageous Amberline
Species: Ivysaur
Age: 15 years
Gender: Female
Team Type: Prosecution
Team: Team Terra Kits
Rank: Diamond
Status: Guarder
Guild: Pixiemire
Stationed Village:
Appearance: [hide=Pic][/hide]
Nature: Hardy (Likes- All, Dislikes- None)
Crush: Open
Ability: Chlorophyll
Moveset: Petal Dance, Power Whip,
Magical Leaf, Sludge
Held item: Poison Barb
Bag: Grass Gummi x4, Big Apple x12, Lum Berry x6
Other: Sage often feels as if she is the only one in her family who has the slightest bit of sense, and often she is. However, just as any big sister with a snarky sense of humor, she takes great amusement in pestering with her brother- often making comments about his feminine appearance to upset him. She is the one who is the most bothered by her mother's seemingly lack of responsibility and often attempts to argue with Poppy about growing up. However, in the end, she greatly trusts and respects her mother.

Name: Poppybelle Amberline
Species: Venusaur
Age: 34 years
Gender: Female

Guild: Pixiemire
Stationed Village:
Appearance: [hide=Pic][/hide]
Nature: Bashful (Likes- All, Dislikes- None)
Crush: Open
Ability: Overgrow
Moveset: Petal Blizzard, Frenzy Plant,
Leaf Storm, Skull Bash
Held item: Black Sludge
Bag: Grass Gummi x4, Enormous Apple x12, Sitrus Berry x6
Other: Though Poppy is the mother to both Apple and Sage, she tends to act more like a big sister and her offspring respond to that. Instead of call her 'Mother', the two offer refer to the team leader by her name more than anything else, but this doesn't bother Poppy. With her easygoing nature, she tends to think of it as them sharing a closer bond, however, despite how close of friends she may think they are, she is really more like a bit of an annoyance to her young.

Name: Rem Shinra
Species: Rattata (Shiny)
Age: 12 years
Gender: Female
Team Type: Persecution
Team: Team Minx
Rank: Normal
Status: Leader

Nature: Brave (Likes- Spicy, Dislikes- Sweet)
Crush: Open
Ability: Run Away
Moveset: Ice Beam, Flame Wheel,
Wild Charge, Grass Knot
Held item: N/A
Bag: None
Other: Rem was originally born to a highly ranked clan within the Whimswood Village, and once she was old enough to begin battle training, her family sent her to the guild. In all honestly, it was both a measure to ensure her safety as well as a way to make the clan more famous in hopes that her natural-born talents would excel through training in Pixiemire. She is sweet, loyal, and fired up when things she's passionate about come into play. She loves her partners greatly and often she is seen riding Ky with Vash on her head.

Name: Vash Garganta
Species: Joltik
Age: 8 years
Gender: Male
Team Type: Persecution
Team: Team Minx
Rank: Normal
Status: Scout
Guild: Pixiemire

Nature: Bold (Likes- Sour, Dislikes- Spicy)
Crush: Open
Ability: Compound Eyes
Moveset: Cross Poison, Electroweb,
Infestation, Tickle
Held item: N/A
Bag: None
Other: Vash was born from a large litter of Joltik, which he visits in his unnamed village often, however, he left home to become something great. As he was the largest of his siblings, he took it as his duty to be a role model for them. What he doesn't know is that his parents only agreed to let him leave because Kirayuri offered to accompany him to the guild. He is very attached to his partners and often sees it as his duty as well to stand up for them as he is the only male on the team.

Team Type: Persecution

Rank: Normal

Guild: Pixiemire
Stationed Village: Whimswood

Nature: Docile (Likes- All, Dislikes- None)
Crush: Open
Ability: Volt Absorb
Moveset: Baby-Doll Eyes, Shock Wave, Stored Power, Double Kick
Held item: N/A
Bag: None
Other: Kirayuri is the shyest of the team despite being the toughest and she's often wary of fights. At a young age, before she was old enough to remember, she had come into contact with a Thunderstone and was lost from her original family. Whenever Vash's family was flocking from the breeding grounds back to their home in the village, they stopped for a night in a cave which was too dark to see until morning. However, in the morning when they were trying to wake their large cluster of babies, they were surprised to see a small Jolteon blended in. Ever since then, they've raised her as their own and for the longest time, she believed she was an extra large Joltik. Even now, she doesn't like to think she's a Jolteon and she often still refers to herself as a Joltik.

"HUUUUUHHHH?! You've got to be kidding!!" A sharp wail of annoyance split the air of the business-bustling marketplace of the large village. As many bodies of all types pushed forward along and against the current of both eager and weary shoppers, one displeased customer stood out among the throng. Deep rumbles of roars bellowed out with their owner's distress only to be shortly hushed by the Fairy-type's lighter voice.

"Croi, maybe you should calm down a bit? It's not very lady-like to-"

"Aye, shaddup, ya hear! If Miss Chompers thar's got sumthin to say, let her go ahead and say it!!" The sharp hiss of the white and navy-pelted Meowstic cut the air, piercing through the growls that the emanated from the Mega Mawile's twin jaws of ivory fangs as the shopkeeper leaned threateningly over the edge of the counter where the astonishingly expensive object of the dispute rested carefully. Beside her, the Psychic-type's mate attempted to calm the she-cat Pokemon with soft, unheard words as he kept his gaze warily on the precious item at the same time. Neither of the two would be allowing anything thievery from their shop any time soon.

"Like I said- You've got to be crazy to think I'll be paying any more than 5,000 Poke for that Quick Claw! Aelita, you agree right?! That's insane- she's insane!!!" Croi huffed with a growl as she slammed a fist on the counter of neatly smoothed wood, very much to the she-Meowstic's displeasure as evidence from her rage-riddled gasp.

The slim and trim form of the Aromatisse stiffened for a moment before relaxing and slumping to on side, resting her small claws on her downy, pink hips. With a sigh, she lifted her pale nose of snow to the air above the shorter Pokemon and chittered out calmly with a faint sigh,"Ah, the price does sound a bit absurd." Her lightly freckled cheeks flustered a bit as her crimson gaze traveled slightly down to the seething shopkeeper before darting back up to her long lashes fanning above each eye. She did not want to get dragged into one of Croi's arguments- especially with the fiery-natured shopkeeper's bride.

"Chah!! Like hell I'd let you take it for that measly price!! I'm not dropping the price from 15,000. You can either take it and go, or leave it and go- either way, ya need to get outta my fur and NOW!!" Her golden eyes flickered threatening as her long claws of white slid out from each toe of her forepaws, her tails lashing furiously.

The charcoal-fisted Steel-type gave an utterly ear-splitting yell of distaste and defeat as she slammed her tightened ball of a grip into the counter with a hard thud, her fuchsia sleeve draping across the wood. Releasing her grip, a few golden coins of the Poke currency cluttered across the smooth surface in a short slip as she brought her other hand around to pluck up the small sack of the berries and seeds that the husband of the angry white Pokemon had readied for toting by the regulars that were Team Fay. Turning away slightly, Croi narrowed her eyes and sneered with a fangy maw curled in a frown and brown closely knit in a deep scowl,"Ehhh whatever!! I'd ave better luck ripping one of those suckers straight from the Sneasel's paw rather than trust that rinky-dink ol' spur!!" With a snort and a hard, short chuckle, Croi-nimh started off back into the foot-trodden path across the rather dry ground which all the shops were lined along, the Steel-type easily making her way against the flow of shoppers as her mighty set of maws intimidated all others to avoid collision with her.

Aelita hurried after her team's leader as she glanced over to slim shoulder, seeing the pale form of Miss Meowstic's paws scuttling hungrily after each little glimmer of the metallic coins, a zealous light igniting her rage-emblazed eyes. Shaking her head with a breathless sigh, the Aromatisse quickened her pace as she looked back ahead of her, her red eyes searching and scanning for any sign of her partner. After catching a glimpse of the flutter of a white scarf and rose ribbon, she noticed that Croi was a few paces ahead and moving out of the marketplace. So she's already heading back to the Guild? How strange- she usually wants to stop by Slurpuff's for a treat after every shopping spree. The Fairy bird laughed heartily to herself and murmured softly,"Meowstic must've riled her up so much that she needs to let out some steam on a mission. But that sounds pretty good at the moment." Aelita hurried up as the pair made their way towards the massive structure at the center of the grand capital of the Land of Shadow, Whimswood- the Pixiemire Guild.

"Hana!! Haaaannnnnaaaaaa!!"

"Hmm? Oh Ami, hi!" The svelte form of the elegantly displayed Mega turned smoothly around to meet her partner as the Gardervoir's hands still lightly gripped the slightly crumpled paper next to the mission board. Her raspberry eyes twinkled brightly as she met the starry-eyed Pachirisu that was her partner and good friend. With a cute tone, she chirped out eagerly,"Did you find anyone who would maybe like to go on a mission with us?" Her head tilted to one side and her leafy locks bounced slightly in the light that poured in from the glowing vines that wound and weaved through the stony upper walls which emitted light in every room of the Guild's building.

Shaking her pink and white head, the shiny Electric-type scurried over to her partner's side and scuttled up her skirt to clamber onto the Gardervoir's tiny shoulder. With a slight frown, she chittered quickly,"Nah, I couldn't find anyone. Team TK already left on a mission to chase some criminals close to the border of the Land of Haze, and we cant take the newbies since Team Minx said that Evangalette was going to train them how to track down wanted pokemon. I think since Nazmoi hates working with kids that she's free, but i really don't want to work with her if she's going to be in a bad mood." Amarilla scrunched up her nose and furrowed her brow as her small grip on Hanahime's shoulder blade tighten to a stronger squeeze. Her grip quickly slackened as her ears were met with the soft chuckle of her friend.

"Yeah, I feel the same way. Well, I did find this request from a Yanma. He and his friend had been heading back to their village when his friend veered off on accident and got himself lost."

"Oh? And where did they get lost?" Amarilla's voice seemed not to bear a single twinge of worry for the individual lost among the abyss of the shadows in the lands which they had made their home.

"Brume Moor in the Land of Haze. I know its a little out of the way and one of the lesser teams in the country could probably get to him, but the request came to Pixiemire and it would be nice to get a little exercise, huh?"

"Yeah! Let's go talk to Lady Guildmaster!!"

(You may begin posting NOW!! ^^)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The female Meowstic flicked her golden gaze up as she plucked the last coin from the counter keenly. Raising a brow, she stuffed the pawful of Poke into a pocket on the old waist apron- she would be keeping Team Fay's money to herself after all the trouble they had given her. With the same cocked eyebrow hovered in place, she rose one corner of her furry lips and meowed as she eyed the Lucario,"Oy, it depends. What kinda stuff ya looking fer?"

~

"Nyaa! Alggie, pass the Lum Furikake, would you!?" A loud squeak purred out into the air as a softer sound of cluttering glass against tablecloth filled the relative silence of the large room. A sudden gust of heat filled the corner of the room as a short surge of a flame shot from the top of the gleaming Quilava's head before quickly extinguishing. Her squinted eyes were pinned on the green shaker that was rested beside her partner's arm until he reached over and engulf the small vial with his gooey grasp.

"Of course Anko, as long as you pass me the Tamato Rayu and the Tanga Ponzu!" a deeper, but equally gleeful giggle rang out as the large form of the Goodra struggled to reach over to the other side of the small table that the partners sat at, attempting to hand Anko the spice she had requested. Algernon smiled in reply as the fiery weasel Pokemon carefully passed him two small saucers, one with a shimmering red liquid that smelled strongly of spice and the second a much lighter hue of green and brown. A little spilled onto the soft, powder pink-colored tablecloth that protected any mess from reaching the lavish wood beneath as the Quilava's attention was focused more on the retrieval of the furikake rather than the delivery of her own sauces. The Goodra quickly but graciously grabbed the saucers from his partner and pulled them closer to his own plate, a few drops of lavender goo clinging to Anko's paws as they touched his hands from the trade off, but Algernon smiled as he watched Anko pay no mind to the slight mess as she immediately went to grabbing at the shaker she had requested despite the goo sticking to her paws.

With a chuckle, she snatched up the glass shaker filled with a sharp-scented green substance and she began eagerly sprinkling the bitter-flavored dust onto her own plate where a small cluster of violet Payapa Berry and tawny Liechi Berry- type treats sat delicately in little ball shapes. "Doesn't a Bitter topping on Sour-Sweet and a Spicy-Sweet treat sound so god?! I can't imagine why you're putting Spicy sauces on your Ganlon Cakes. A crazy baka you are, Algernon!" she giggled aloud before pushing one of the powdered-green pastry balls into her maw.

"Ah yes, but the spiciness will drown out the Bitter-Dry taste. You know I'm not as big a fan of Dry-flavored things." He gazed down at his meal as his soft fingers pulled away a flaky piece of the treat, which he quickly dunked lightly in both of the sauces before popping it into his own mouth. He closed his eyes as he savored the burning tingle of the Tanga and Tamato on his aquamarine tongue.

"Blaaah!! Then why did you pick Ganlon?!" Anko mumbled through her crammed mouth as she reached for her tall glass of a Mago Berry shake. She slurped down the mess of food that threatened to clog her throat, sighing with relief at the Sweet taste that washed down into her belly.

"Ganlon was the only flavor left of the cakes I wanted." Algernon shrugged as he reached to tear off another piece from one of the treats.

"Ahh has everything been to your liking, Mister and Miss Munchie?" The slurrish purr of the café's owner sounded as the Slurpuff hobbled over to their table with a wide smile. After all, these two were her best customers and almost like family to her. "Can I get you anything else?" She patted her small paws against her flour-dusted apron as she awaited the pair to finish swallowing their food.

"Gaaaah!!" Anko released her straw and giggled as a small spray of pink liquid met Algernon's surprised face. "Yeah, do you think you could whip up a couple of macaroons with Razz and Bluk Berry filling to go?"

"Yes, and might I get a refill on my Pecha Berry smoothie?" Algernon mused kindly as he wiped his face with a lacy napkin of white.

"'Course! I'll gt those to you right away!" She hobbled on her short legs towards the kitchen, smiling widely as she passed the more quiet customers by. She was always happy to cook for Team Sprite- they gave her a workout with all her running back and forth, and they always knew how to tip a lady.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well, we do have a nice stock of fresh Oran Berries and a couple of Reviver Seeds if you'd be interested," piped up the soft-voiced husband of the two shopkeepers, his green eyes glowing hopefully. He ignored the short snicker of annoyance from his wife, but uttered a silent sigh of relief as he watched her lean back lazily against one of the crate behind their counter. Ah, she's not going to argue about letting me have this customer. Good. The navy and white-pelted tom reached into one of the smaller crates resting against their hut of a house and pulled out a small pawful of the blue fruit and setting them on the smooth wood counter top. "See, nice and ripe."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Meowstic paused, putting a small paw to his chin as he thought. "Hmm....how about 10 Poke per berry? And if you're thinking about the Reviver Seeds, then 800- no, 1,000 Poke per seed." He caught a glance of his mate's wide sneer of approval and he beamed to himself. She's pleased! Maybe she'll honor me with siring another Espurr?! With a stern nod, he stifled his smile and meowed,"Yes, 1,000 Poke per seed. You know how hard a good Reviver Seed is to come by these days, and they aren't fresh for very long. My price is surely appropriate, but can your pocket take the strain? I don't believe you're one of the Guild's Pokemon, so perhaps you don't have the means for such a luxury."

With a short smirk, the lady Meowstic added keenly as she leered one golden eye on the Lurcario,"Surely it would be wiser not to stick your nose into affairs that don't concern you. Dungeon-exploring is guild work. But then again, that's not for me to say." She twiddling with a single golden coin before biting her ivory teeth onto its edge, relishing the metallic click of the Poke against her fang.

(Lol slightly suggest references anyone? XD)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The shopkeeper bride merely snickered darkly to herself and without any more of a reply, she turned and walked into the small house behind their family's shop, disappearing behind the thick curtain of leaves and beads on strings that functioned as a door. As for her husband, the Meowstic nodded to himself and pulled a couple more berries out of the crate to meet the customer's demand. After assuring that the Oran berries had not major damage or bruises, he gathered them into a small brown bag and rolled the top before pushing it to the Lucario. He gave a small smile as he awaited the payment and mewed softly,"Best of luck on journey, young explorer."

~

Blinking at the sight of another cluster of Pokemon entering her café and completely filling a table, she smiled and walked over to their group. Still holding a platter containing Anko and Algernon's order of a Pecha Berry smoothie and jam-filled macaroons, the Slurpuff mused,"Ah, good afternoon. How may I help you today?"

"Ah hey, Alggie- its Team Elemental!!" Anko mused as her attention was drawn to the group of larger Pokemon as she waved one paw to them. In another loud chirp, the young Quilava squealed brightly,"Hey hey!! They're our friends, so Slurpuff, their bill's on us!!" Another short burst of flame blaze atop her head before vanishing out to leave merely a slightly smoky scent to the air.

Algernon nodded and smiled cheerily as he spoke loudly to reach the other side of the café's room,"Yes, so please eat as much as you'd like." He had stood up from his seat- or rather seats, as it took more than one to hold him up- and began to make his way to the front counter to pay for their own meal. As he reached the counter where a Swirlex sat at the cash register, the Goodra gave a nervous smile and replied softly,"Again, sorry for the mess. I'll pay extra for the cleaning costs." Of course, he was not talking about the eating habits, as both he and Anko were rather neat eaters, but more on the fact that they probably stained the tablecloth and the fact that almost everything he ate there, he left a mess of slime on the table and chairs he sat at.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Meowstic nodded and took the money before turning back to enter his house after his wife, leaving Zeira to herself.

~

After paying for his bill, and that of Team Elemental's drinks, Algernon walked over to where the shiny Quilava was standing at the other team's table. The large Goodra gratefully took the to-go baggie of Anko's order and his smoothie in both hands as the Slurpuff's attention was drawn elsewhere. He listened with a smile as his young friend did the talking.

"Ahh cool! Taking out outlaws is so much fun!! We'll have to tag along some day soon!" Anko cheered before looking up at Algernon as he handed her the white bag of her Razz and Bluk Berry macaroons. Turning back to the Luxray, she mused,"Well, we'll see ya later!" And with that, the two headed out of the quaint and cute building.

Meeting the Lucario's call as she moved quickly over to the counter to begin the smoothie, Slurpuff mused,"Of course! Can I get you anything else? We're having a special on Berry Breads! Got Chesto-Leppa, Figy-Persim, Pompeg-Kelpsy, and Qualot-Grepa. All with a smooth Hondew or Occa syrup."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Slurpuff nodded and got to her work of blending together the Rawst Berries before adding in the MooMoo Milk- extra cream- to the mixture. After it was finished, she hobbled back over to Zeira and set down the glass. "Here you are, lovey! Just call me if you change your mind about wanting something to eat." The Fairy-type gave the Fighting-type a smile before moving off to tend to other customers.

With a rasping gasp, a strange cluster of yellow fur radiating static electricity came hurtling through the door of the café and into the center of the room. Bright eyes of blue glazed over, the odd creature darted tiredly over to Zeria and hid beneath her table. Despite the show it put on from it outburst, none of the other customers seemed to care and went about their own business without even the twitch of an ear or tail.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With its electric blue eyes wide and igniting the dark underside of the table with light, the creature mused a nervous voice,"They're not here, are they? The team of an Absol and Furfrou- they're from the Guild." However, though the blue eyes locked on the Lucario's, it didn't seem like the voice was coming from the creature's own mouth, as the long muzzle of yellow remained clamped in fear.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A sigh of relief came from the creature as it rose to his small paws and climbed from under the table. Standing in the light of the room, the creature could be seen as an unusually small Jolteon- obviously very young. However, an odd ball of yellow and pale faded gold fur rested on her back. However, only another second passed before the bundle came loose and a shiny Rattata with a Joltik on the top of it's own head stood on the Jolteon's back. With gleaming azure eyes, the Rattata looked up at the Lucario and opened her small jaws to speak. With her large ivory tooth jutting out, it was clear that she had been the one to speak previously. "Oh goodness great. Yeah, sorta. But we're okay now." She gave a chuckled sigh and blinked at the smoothie. Without removing her eyes from it, she chittered. "Mmmm that looks good. Do you think we could sit here with you?" Her eyes flickered up to Zeira.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Rattata blinked at the smoothie before shaking her head and moving her gaze up to the Lucario. "O-oh! No no, that's okay. I'm sure we can scrape together enough to get something for ourselves." She glanced up at to her friend on her head as the Joltik, at her words, head begun to search through the dirty bag that hung cross the Jolteon's side. With a smile, the Rattata then mused," Well I'm Rem Shinra and these are my friends, Vash Garganta," she pointed her coiled tail to the Joltik, who waved one of his cyan claws at Zeira before ducking back into the bag. "And Kirayuri Garganta-Esquire. But we just call her Ky for short." At her words, the Jolteon gave a coy smile.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At her words, Vash pulled himself out of the bag and crawled onto the table which Rem and Ky had situated themselves at. With beady eyes of bright cyan, he chirped brightly,"Yeah! We're Team Minx!! We really haven't done much as a team, but we're practicing to become one that rescues others!"

Rem smiled and nodded eagerly. "Yeah and I'm the leader! I can't wait till we can go on adventures and stuff!!" She giggled and rested her chin on her small pink paws which gripped the edge of the table. Her tiny, mousy feet stood on the soft cushion of the chair and her rump stuck up in the air, waving her tail like the flag that they would someday have for themselves.

Kirayuri smiled at Zeira and mused in a soft, gentle voice,"Its very nice to meet you, Z. You seem to know quite a bit about dungeons and stuff. Are you an explorer?" Her pointed ears twitched and stood up tall as her words and gained the curious attention of her other two partners.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Of course!! The kind and also the flavor of syrup?!" Slurpuff wailed from behind the counter as she fiddled in one of the cabinets for a couple of items.

"Oh?! Then you've gotta tell us of some of your adventures!! Surely you've had a crazy mission or two?!" Rem's eyes were gleaming saucers of periwinkle light as she and Ky leaned in eagerly, and Vash even climbed onto Zeira's paw to look up at the Pokemon with wide, buggy eyes of blue.

"Yeah yeah!! Come on then!!" they all cheered playfully.

~

"Hmm? Oh Team Royal, how delightful it is to see you again!" The sultry-sweet voice of the calm tone arose from a pretty creature who sat in the center of the office at a desk. Such was Sylveon, the scout for the Pixiemire Guild acted as the secretary for the Guild when she wasn't scouting the area for dangers. As such in every Guild, an Eeveelution of the most befitting for traveling the territory was assigned the duty of 'Scout', by which they traveled the land to gather any news and info on any changes in the territory- like a Flareon in the Land of Fire and a Leafeon in the Land of Earth. Such character also added a third member to the Guildmaster's team if they were ever needed for a certain mission.

However, as the Pixiemire's guildmaster was almost always gone whenever you needed her, Sylveon's greatest priority was managing the guild in the Guildmaster's absence. Thus, an Umbreon stationed in the Land of Haze was elected to be her substitute as Sylveon worked in the Guild.

In a gentle voice, the Fairy-type purred as she continued to keep her eyes on her work- her fleshy ribbons working as hands as they wrote and filed through paperwork that would otherwise be meant for the Guildmaster,"If you're looking for Lady Primrose, she's gone off for lunch. A picnic somewhere with Mr. Briar; I'm afraid I don't know where they went nor when they will be back. However, dinner is scheduled for six this evening and they should surely be back by then. Please feel free to stay here as long as you'd like."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ooooooo!!! Tell us!! Tell us!!" The three young children chimed in unison as they eagerly bounced in their seats- Vash on Zeira's paw. Eight eyes of blue twinkled brightly as Team Minx's attention was utterly upon the Lucario and her alone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sylveon looked up and closed her blue eyes pleasant with a smile. "Why, you to are just wonderful dears. Of course you must join us for dinner! Pumpkaboo would see it as an insult if you didn't!!" She gave a soft chuckle as she set down her work to get up and gather the loot. Despite the weight, the Fairy-type seemed to show little concern for the heaviness as she grabbed up each bag, and one by one, put them into the large safe at the back of the room which she had unlocked with her ribbons without having to look up at the numbers. "My oh my, you two never disappoint. If it would please you, I'm sure I could find a couple of apprentices to go search for them." She blinked warmly at the two- she always enjoyed hearing about their feats and never missed a moment when they were at the Guild. Perhaps she would even set aside her work to have dinner with them all....

(Aww Sylvie has a crush or so- too bad she isn't a main character ^^')

"Woah!! So cool!!"

"What happened?!"

"Continue, continue!!!"

The three were literally on the edges of their seats as they awaited in suspense for the Pokemon to continue her story. Anything that had to do with stories of adventure and the like always got their blood pumping and nerves tingly. However, their attention on Zeira was short-lived as the jingle of the bell on the cafe's door was drown out by the loud crash of the door meeting the wall. The three young Pokemon spun around to see three more Pokemon pull in.

In the center was a large and rather tall Jolteon with gleaming chartreuse fur formed into sharp spines. He wore a spine-tingling expression that would appear extremely cool and bad boy-like to some and fear-inducing to others. Long fangs of ivory poked out of his mouth on either side as he stalked in, a Summer-green Deerling following quickly on his left and a surprisingly small and pale Sandslash slowly on his right. The trio entered the cafe and gazed around before clambering over to the closest table and piling around it. With one paw, the shiny Jolteon hit his paw against the tabletop and roared halfheartedly,"Oi, barkeep or whatever!! Can we get some service over here?!"

"L-Lynch, don't you think that was a bit brash...?" The Deerling girl whimpered out nervously.

As the newcomer made quite the commotion, Kirayuri's eyes widened and pupils dilated nearly three times smaller than their usual size as her gaze was glued in fear to this supposed 'Lynch.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Of course. Now then, go on and rest. I'm sure I can handle everything here." She gave the pair of treasure hunter a swift wink before walking back to her spot at the desk and resumed sorting the papers into orderly piles for filing out. With a single free ribbon, she waved the Flygon and Rapidash out and smiled softly to herself before her mind was once again engulfed with her work.

~

"Ehh? EEEHHHHH?! Yo, I'm hungry here!!" The shiny Jolteon yowled darkly as a few stray sparks shot off from his body with annoyance, zapping a couple of others who were trying to enjoy their meals before they were so rudely interrupted.

With a scowl, Slurpuff grumbled as she hobbled over,"I'm sorry, but I don't help those who make a mess of my business. You need to leave and now!" The Fairy-type stood her ground as the shiny Pokemon, despite his partners' pleas, got up and stared the cafe owner down.

"Excuse me, but what was that?! You sayin' you're not gonna get us any food?!" Her growled, his pointed pelt sparkling threateningly.

"Hey! She said she's not going to serve you, buddy, so why don't you hightail it outta here!" Rem growled as she turned away from the Lucario to face the Jolteon. Glancing over her shoulder, she gave their newest friend a somber look and added softly,"Sorry Zeira, but we'll have to see it some other time." As she spoke, she hopped off her chair and scurried over to the newcomers' table, along with Vash and Kirayuri, though Ky was a bit more hesitant.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Slurpuff smiled at Zeira as she come back to the counter, leaving the group of Pokemon children to handle the outburst. Ah yeah, here you go." She handed the Lucario a bag which contained the wrapped Berry Bread and a small sealed cup of the syrup. "In all, the smoothie and special will be 175 Poke. Would you like to pay now or keep a tab?" As she messed with the register, she glanced over to Team Minx and mumbled softly,"You think they'll be okay on their own against those guys?"

"Who do you think you little pipsqueaks are?!" Lynch growled as he turned to glare down at the trio who had resumed their totem pole-like form with Vash on Rem's head and Rem on Ky's.

"I think the question is who do you think you are?! What makes you think you can come in here acting like that?!" Rem sneered as a small flicker of heat radiated from her tail threateningly, however, though it happened so quickly, it could be easily missed by all others.

"Hah! We're Team Leef of the Greenleaf Guild in the Land of Earth- your Big Sister country, little pests! You should treat us with the utmost respect as we are at Silver rank! Cha- eat that!!" However, despite his arrogant grin and ego-puffing words, Lynch noticed that the trio before him weren't backing down. Frowning, he roared,"What?! You planning to do something about it?! Well let's go outside then!"

"Fine by us!!" Rem roared as she urged Kirayuri forward with a tightened grip of her pink paws. The two teams pushed their way out of the Cafe, leaving only silence to the room and a soft jingling of the bell.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Damn, damn, damn- so which one of you plans on keeping out of the fight?! Huh?! Which one of you are going to leave me like the wusses you are?!" Lynch snapped at his teammates as they stood behind him, the shiny Pokemon looking at them from over his shoulder. He scowled at the glare he received from the Sandslash. "What?" he mused in a mock sweet voice. "You upset with me, Layle? You may be the leader, but I'm the strongest so I'm pretty much the boss!" Despite how he kept his fearsome facade, the Electric-type flinched in secret to the dark glare the Ground-type gave him as a trickle of sand began to dance around on the ground threateningly.

In a cool, low voice, Layle spoke calmly,"Lynch, if you're going to fight, Lilty and I are not going to join you. These are children we're talking about-"

"Children, shmildren! They should learn how to talk to adults! I'm not gonna hold back you know!!" Lynch yowled the last part to Team Minx as they readied themselves on the opposite side of the grassy yard that say in front of the cafe.

"Rem, are we-" Vash didn't even have to say it in full for his friend to understand his question.

In a serious voice, the gleaming golden Rattata muttered,"Yeah Vash, we'll ll have to fight if we're going to stand a chance. You heard them- they're Silver-Ranked Pokemon from the Greenleaf guild. We can't just let them do as they please here in the Land of Shadow." With a frown, she turned her periwinkle eyes to Lynch and hopped off of Kirayuri's head, walking a few paces to stand a few feet in front of the lime-colored Electric-type and murmured,"Ready?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The three of Team Minx all turned their heads to look at Zeira over their shoulders and beamed. That was all it took to make them feel as if they could accomplish winning this battle. Fired up even more now than before, they all looked back to Lynch and Rem roared,"Let's go!!"

At her own words, the shiny Rattata started forward quickly with her body braced for a massive tackle. However, unusually enough, she would moving extremely fast as if she were about to use Quick Attack. However, a she bolted ahead, her body became engulfed in  cloak of electricity as she collided with Lynch's chest, knocking him back a few steps.

Such an attack as Wild Charge surely stunned the Jolteon for a moment, but it didn't do much to injure him despite not having the Volt Absorb ability. Not giving the younger Pokemon a chance to recover from the recoil,Lynch put his Quick Feet ability to good use as he began to make some distance between himself and the younger trio. With a smirk, he released a large volley of sharp, green needles spraying towards the group as he used Pin Missile.

The three dodged most of the needles, but a few did prick the youngers' bodies in a few places. However, that wasn't about to stop them. Rem's tail exploded into a flame and as she ran at Lynch, it ignited the rest of her body with a burning heat. Once she reached Lynch, Rem jumped up and flipped forward, pounding the opposing shiny Pokemon's face with a flaming tail repeatedly, using Flame Wheel. Such took quite a bit out of Rem, but she had to continue this in order to uphold her honor as a Pokemon of the Land of Shadows.

Lynch screeched and attempted to lumber back blindly as the hot embers burned his eyes. However, unable to move backwards as he met with the rough surface of a tree, the Jolteon snarled and sent a paw forward to swat away Rem. As he sent her small body flying into the ground ahead of them, he grinned darkly at her loud and broken squeak before opening his jaws widely and began charging up a ball of electricity. Eyes still clamped shut and lids red with slight burns, he focused his hearing on Rem's faint breathing to locate her position before allowing a beam of condensed light erupt from his maw towards the Rattata.

With a jolt of fear coursing through her veins, Rem suddenly shot a beam of ice as a last resort to save herself. The Ice Beam, luckily, collided with the Charge Beam as both attack met halfway. However, Lynch's speed far outclassed Rem as he was able to generate another Charge Beam behind the cloud from the failed former attack before Rem could realize what was happening.

As the attack struck Rem, she wailed in pain as the electricity charred her golden fur. Despite this, however, the majority of the attack had been absorbed by Vash as the Joltik staggered forward off of Rem's limp head. Obviously, the last attack had been an attempt to kill. Angered, Vash sprinted forward, thankful his small size allowed him to not make much of a sound. Such threw Lynch off as he still hadn't regained his sight from Rem's Fire-type attack. As Vash reached Lynch's side, he used the surplus of energy he had so painfully received from the Jolteon and released it into a super-powered Electroweb. The sticky silk trap limited Lynch's speed as it clung his gleaming, bristled body to the tree's truck before the electricity surged along the web's lining.

Lynch yowled in pain, though the spikes on his body allowed much of the electricity to shoot off randomly in all direction, some just barely missing the cafe and bodies around. However, what was most painful was the tiny thorns which dug into his flesh from where the Joltik had climbed onto his shoulder and stuck him in the side of his neck. He could feel the puncture wounds burning, and not from the stabs. The little bugger had used Cross Poison on him and Lynch could feel the venom seeping into his blood flow. "Gahh!! Get off of me!! Get off!!" He thrashed his head around wildly as he tried to throw Vash off of his neck. As he did such, he slammed his head against the side of the tree and yowled out in pain from the blow.

However, it was Vash who got the worst of the action. The young Pokemon had gotten crushed between the Jolteon's neck and the barky surface of the tree. From the blunt, crushing force against him, the air was knocked from Vash as he dropped like a fly from Lynch's body, collapsing on the ground with faint, short breaths until he black out among the gnarled roots.

Kirayuri looked petrified at how quickly her friends were wiped out. With a gasp, she snapped her head around and barked to Zeira worryingly,"Z, can you get them out of the way?! Please!!" The small Jolteon ran forward towards Rem. As she reached her leader, she plucked up the Normal-type's limp body and tossed her carefully, but strongly at the Lucario in hopes that Zeira would catch the Rattata. Now for Vash.

As Lynch gasped for air from exerting himself too much with all his thrashing, he panted and blinked his burning eyes. "Damn!!" he wailed out in almost a whine as they appeared pink and inflamed. Such was almost unbearable for Lilty to witness and her friend's cries broke her heart. After a second longer of his pained gasps and complaints, she bound forwards on swift hooves to Lynch's side. She carefully popped in an Eyedrop Seed into the green Jolteon's maw and nuzzled his neck to make him swallow. However, because she had no other items on her, such as a Heal Seed of Pecha Berry, the Deerling could do nothing for his poisioning. In a broken murmur, she cried,"I'm sorry Lynch, but this is all I can do." As she went to return to her spot beside Layle, she noticed Vash's tiny body and she carefully picked him up to remove him from the danger zone of the fight, to which Ky shot her a thankful look. Lilty could only reply with a somber nod and look that said 'just do what you have to.'

Blinking his eyes, sight returned to Lynch as he used his fangs and brute strength to tear through the zapping web which has formerly trapped him against the tree. He grinned darkly across his burnt muzzle at Kirayuri and growled,"So only the Jolteon are left? How appropriate! We are the greatest of all Eeveelutions, eh?!"

Ky furrowed her brow and the shy Jolteon yowled,"No. I'm not the same as you- I'm a Joltik!" With that, she barreled toward Lynch and the shiny Jolteon frowned. With a roar, he unleashed a heavy Discharge attack upon Ky and cackled wildly as he did such. "You idiot, of course you're a Jolteon- just look in a mirror!!" However, his laugh was caught in his throat as he watched the electricity of his attack roll off Ky's body before her own spines sucked it all in. Crap! Her ability is Volt Absorb, isn't it!!

Kirayuri gave a stern frown as she darted over to Lynch's side. Mouthing a few words silently, she spun around and sent two sharp kicks into Lynch's thin flank, feeling a dull squish with the first kick and a faint crunch with the second. After the Double Kick attack, Ky spun back around to face the limping Lynch and her eyes darkened. A dark violet glow radiated off of her slim and bristled body as a Psychic-type move was powering up from all the energy she had absorbed during the Discharge attack. The inaudible words spoke only a moment before now filtered through Lynch's brain. Stored.....Power?! As he refocused his glazed-over gaze on Kirayuri, the younger Pokemon released all her pent-up energy into a blast that knocked the broken-boned Jolteon to the ground. With a tired pant, she  walked past Lynch's collapsed body and over to Lilty to regain her fallen comrade. "Tha...thanks..." she muttered to the Deerling before picking Vash up in her mouth and padding slowly over to where Zeira and Rem remained.

(This almost killed me....nyaa. I'm terrible at fighting posts....I'm better at fluff ^^')

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kirayuri padded up with a slight limp from exhaustion net to Zeira and nodded to the Lucario with a small, tired smile. Reaching her head around to drop Vash's body onto her shoulder before softly speaking,"Thank you. Do you think.....we could sleep somewhere?" Her sky-colored eyes fluttered dimly as she misstepped only to caught herself before the fall, staggering forward. Her tall ears perked slightly as she heard the faint scuffling of the other Pokemon fleeing, but she made no attempt to chase them down.
