Philo skidded to a halt; skidded quite a way, considering how fast he had been moving a moment before, and how slippery the ground had abruptly become in his last bound. Mud splattered under his talons, fountaining around him and, naturally, covering him in slime. He glowered, but that was nothing new. Apparently he had reached swampland; and he couldn't tell how far it went because of all the bloody fog.

Fortunately, he didn't need to see the ground in front of him to know which way to go; Sikander's presence in the south was like a beacon, brighter than any lighthouse, and if went away again... well, Philo might just curl up and die.

Nothing to worry about. The man's voice mumbled sleepily in the recesses of his mind, and Philo was satisfied with that for the moment.

Buffo's buzz caught up with him, finally, and the insect actually swung in front of him and pointedly landed, reproving him for setting such a pace. Philo blinked dimly, and turned to see that Shivo was still a great distance behind, hurrying as best she could to catch up. The fact was, though, that she was not put together to sustain a charge. The bird was almost ashamed, but not quite; he was in a hurry, after all, and he thought he had been setting a reasonable pace...

He wasn't willing to leave the monkey behind, though the thought crossed his mind. As she couldn't keep up under her own power, though...

As soon as she arrived, panting, sweating, and filthy with mud up to her knees and elbows, he plucked her from the ground and slung her onto his back. She scrabbled for purchase, leaving muddy prints on his shoulders- as if it made any difference anymore. He stooped, scooped up Buffo without consultation, and without any further ado set off running, carrying his charges into the swamp.

--

The way the landmark map is drawn suggests that Mayriver city and the Soggy Hillside are very nearly adjacent, so that's what probably happened. heading directly south into Sinklands 1.

Philo raced along, his powerful leg muscles cutting a swath through the terrain and kicking up a dense combination of mud and dirt behind him. The ground was unforgiving, however, for every few bounds a particularly deep patch of marsh would catch and ensnare a foot or cause a slight trip. The soggy earth clung to every part of the body, slowly running down like a particularly vile ooze. Perhaps taking a slower pace and watching your footing would prove more rewarding. Then again, everything looked the same.

Farther along down the hill, it appeared as if two sections of the muck were beginning to slush around, moving along up and down like the tides of an ocean. As Philo moved in closer, the two globs seemed to rise up, slowly at first, until the mid-sized forms were completely vertical. Two arm-like appendages began to grow out of the blobs while several slits began to open up along the top, gradually widening open until eyes and a mouth began to take shape. It was a rather grotesque process, especially for those with weak stomachs.

The two Grimer glanced around, gradually getting used to being back on the surface. It didn't take long until they took in the massive shape that raced towards them. Most Pokemon would have probably been on the run at this point, but this was their home territory. They couldn't back down. Rearing back, the pair suddenly thrust their arms forward, flinging globs of purple goo forward until it burst upon impact with Philo's torso, spreading the slime over his crimson feathers and a bit on his companions. The two shared a hearty laugh, seemingly forgetting the fact that the towering Blaziken would certainly be looking for revenge.

With the sheath of mud that almost perfectly encased him, Philo didn't even worry that the gunk that had been spat upon him was toxic- his armour of slime would protect him. So there was no harm in them, these merry little bags of goo.

It was disrespect, though, and he could not let it stand. It would do them no good in the long run to think they could get away with such pranks. He was prepared to teach them an object lesson, no matter how distasteful he might find the task.

Not at all?

Not at all.

He hesitated as Buffo screamed abuse at the impertinent morphs- in tones too high and confusing for them to have any notion what he was saying, of course. It got their attention, at least, and Shivo scrabbled at his shoulders, glaring balefully over his shoulder at them, though she had been entirely shielded from the abuse by his body. Philo felt a paternal warmth, and quashed it as Sikander's curiosity niggled at him. He raised his foot, and with scarcely an instant's concentration, dropped it again as gently as a stick of dynamite exploding.

Needless to say, the Grimer never stood a chance.

Of course, they never would have thought that. The two slime balls let out with a chorus of laughter as Buffo rose up, screaming profusely at them with his Supersonic attack. The noise fell on deaf ears, however, as the pair began to ignore him, instead concentrating on Shivo and Philo. The Monferno hung loosely around the taller one's shoulders, obviously feeling more protected with him as her guardian. Little did they know that not only was she hanging back from the battle, but also trying to avoid being struck by the devastating attack that was to follow.

Her eyes flashing ominously, Shivo stared daggers at the Grimer, for she seemed to know what was coming next. Philo was certainly not going to take the abuse that they had shown him. Sure enough, seconds later, his foot rose up and struck back down with a relative calmness... that is, until the earth suddenly exploded.

Unable to even conjure the thoughts that they were out of commission, the Grimer were thrown back from the force of the blow, twisting through the air as their forms slid apart from the ferocity of the attack. The piles of ooze splattered all over the ground, and they were no more. Score one for Philo.

0.6 :exp for Philo, Shivo, and Buffo.

Moving from Soggy Hillside to Sinklands 1; angling towards the beach, specifically.

--

If one thing was certain in the world, it was that an Earthquake attack would completely destroy any Pokemon that had a type vulnerability to it, and was half the level of the Pokemon using it anyway.

There might have been a more generalized lesson to be learned from the experience, but hell if Philo cared what it was. At the moment, what he cared about was the fact that the slime those insignificant boogers had lobbed on him stank; if he'd had a nose to wrinkle, he would have resembled an elephant. Buffo was keeping a wide berth of him; Shivo stayed where she was, but buried her face against his shoulder to blockade his nose.

Sikander's presence called to him... but Sikander himself stepped in and casually told Philo that he would prefer their reunion to be unmarred by horrible smells. A bath was in order, then; he knew there was ocean to the east, and not too far off. He changed his attitude of attack 90 degrees and bounded seawards.

After teh display of power, little else in the area was interested in trying to face off against such a titan as Philo. The three traveled on rather unmolested as a result. A slight change of angle in travel eventually brought a breath of less fetid air, refreshingly tangy with salt. The ocean had to be near at this point...

And it was. After a moment, the swamp cleared out, mostly, leaving a number of boggy areas. A rather rocky, scrubby excuse for a beach nestled not far off, allowing acces to the cleaner ocean water rather than the rank, tepid stuff that the swamp called water. That would be a relief...

Aside from the fact that a pair of Walrein seem to have staked their claim on this bit of territory, bellowing loudly to anyone that this was their turf, enter at your own risk.

Either that, or they were bellowing at each other over the Sealeo lady bobbing in the little cove. Whatever they were bellowing about...they were between the group and the ocean. Could either find another, less noisy beach, or do something about them, it seems.

0.3 (It's all good, I like it... except Spheal evolves into Sealeo at level 32.. and Sealeo evolves in Walrein at level 44 =P )

Philo thumped down onto the beach's verge, spraying enough sand and noise that the pair of bellowing bulls couldn't help but notice him and be wary. He crouched neutrally, eying them with a long, steady glare, while they edged and tried to weigh up his threat but not give any opportunity to their opposition. Shivo crawled down from his back without consultation, adding her adorably baleful glare to his own. Buffo appeared overhead, wheezing slightly for his exertion, and at a glance opted to summon a spectral shield over himself, pop it into a brightly glowing capsule, and drop it on Philo's head- and thereupon collapse, rolling down Philo's back until he fell onto the sand, limp like the bitch he was. Philo would have grinned, but it came out like razors.

The only question was whose side he would take: the fat fuck on the right, or the fat fuck on the left? One shot should be enough, he mused, letting electricity crack ominously on his fists.

Or you could not. A little voice whispered in his ear, throwing him for a loop.

Just a thought. Sikander rumbled, and subsided, leaving Philo feeling rather uneasy. He didn't know how to deal with unease, but there was a good chance his coping method for any other circumstance would work as well for this. Not... what the hell did that even mean?

He tossed his coin; heads. The one on the left was closer. He wandered off north.

And charged at breakneck speed in behind the lefthand fat, wallowing freak. Let it try to turn; he sunk his fist crackling deep into its blubbery hide, laying out enough force to send it cannoning into its opponent like a beachball.

.3 (Yeah, and the games pay SO much attention to that for their wild pokemon too. *chuckles* Level 15 Gyarados anyone? *g* I hadn't realized how high level Sealeo evolved, tho.)

The two bulls were considerably wary of this stranger into their midst, their bellowing decreasing a fair bit as the winsome (to them anyhow) woman bobbed on the surf. Was he here to steal the lady? Obviously not...there was no way this gunk-covered warrior type would even interest her, for one. For another...

No, it seemed this beast was here for a war, as evidenced byt the bright glow suddenly surrounding him and the leering of his monkey companion right before the bird charged. The opponent he selected bellowed in surpris, clapping his flippers together abruptly as Philo launched him skyward with a punch.

Some sort of mystic force of that applauding the maneuver attempted to confuse Philo, noting how wonderfully executed the move making it an amlost overwhelming desire to repeat it. Exclusively. However, there is a Safeguard on the field. I don't know whether it saves one from an Encore, but hey. Two Sky Uppercuts would certainly be sufficient to take the lard butt out. Or if it isn't, the other is more than opportunistic to take the opening and capitalize to get the woman all to himself that much sooner.

No matter whether Safeguard keept Philo from having to Sky Uppercut instead of Thunder Punch...the end result is the same. One happy walrus bobbing off to go make bundles of joy, another flopped on the beach in a state of unconsciousness or worse, and an open beach for Philo and his two friends to rid themselves of the grimer goo.

The one could have been more grateful, though. But really is it worth it to go take him to task over it?

Yes.

Philo crashed down, feeling ridiculous for being coerced into this leaping frenzy. Even with the blubberous tard that had done it to him vanquished, the compunction remained. He just wanted to jump and smash... jump and smash...

... and there was the second blubbery thing, flollopping away as though Philo had done him a favour. Well, that wasn't right at all.

Even it he was expecting Philo to continue the assault, he probably wouldn't have time to react. The great fighting cock skidded across the sand, to get in and under the wobbly mass, the better to lift it into the sky on wings of unrighteous anger. He tried to get his hands crackling and snapping with electricity, but he wasn't going to wait around for his mind to figure it out. Smashing things was easy enough without juice.

And then there was the little girl to consider.

Meanwhile, Shivo had had an excellent idea. Beating up a couple of disgusting bags of lard was well and good; beating up their fat girlfriend as well, though- that was an accomplishment. Sort of. She nudged Buffo into a semblance of awareness and convinced him that her need was great, largely by tugging on his antennae until he did what she wanted: a shield to protect her from the depredations of her foe's elemental advantage.

Skirting Philo on his rampage, she made her way to the shoreline, and caught the attention of the girl floating on her bulk, out on the water. Totally out of Shivo's reach, unless she could figure out how to run on water.

Which maybe...

But no; she needed to bring her target to herself, and proceeded with a display involving several graphic hand gestures which were to indicate that, though the sealeo was a flagrant and repugnant whore, Shivo was going to leave her with her hunger for fatty sea-lion meat unquenched, by stealing both of her boyfriends.

It wasn't supposed to make sense, it was just supposed to be inflammatory. As soon as she knew she had the hefty girl's attention, she capered and danced to foil any attempts to attack from range, dodging backwards in an attempt to draw her out of the water and into vulnerability.

Such a joyous thing, jumping and smashing things...and the target of such, the triumphant walrein, bellows in surprise as you proceed to follow up on him after so kindly removing his enemy for him. The tub of lard is launched into the air, waving his flippers wildly as he discovers the joy of flying, spinning about to try and retaliate against his attacker, managing a blast of water right in Philo's face right before another Sky Uppercut sends him flying into the water, to bob there, stunned.

Upon landing thereafter, it seemed awfully silly in retrospect to the blaiziken not have just thunderpunched the fool walruses, but there it was. They were both out for the count anyhow. At least the fool walrein had washed the worst of the gunk off before he went under...

As for Buffo and Shivo, the pair of them turned their attention to the now slightly confused lady sealeo, the monferno sneering and making a few lewd finger suggestions to insence the female as she bounced about on the beach, and Buffo proceeded to make a screen of energy that helped dampen the effect of ranged attacks, to further make the agile monkey harder to hit.

The taunting worked just as planned, causing the female to bellow in outrage. It certainly didn't hurt that the third partner-in-crime had just taken out her other prospective boyfriend. That was unacceptable! The sealeo made for shore, sending a bright beam of icy energy winging across the distance, barely clipping the agile little monkey as she danced about, tauntingly.

Philo landed with a thump, as Walrein plummeted toward the water and pierced it with an enormous splash a few seconds later. Fortunately, it seemed there was a sandbar at least that far out, as it didn't sink under its weight immediately, just washed back and forth in the gentle tide. Philo would have grinned, but was, as always, hampered by his rigid beak. It had been a while since he had eaten; he was probably overestimating himself, thinking he should retrieve the walrein in the water AND the one on the beach... but, it was not so terrible to leave something for the scavengers.

Leave it live, until you're certain you wish to eat it. Sikander murmured suddenly, and Philo, taken aback by the strangeness of the request, thrust the man from his mind.

He waded a few steps into the briny deeps before he remembered his companions, and turned to check that they were faring well. They certainly seemed to be having fun with the fat little coquette, so he left them to their devices and dunked himself, scrubbing at his feathers roughly to remove the foulness that still clung. He observed the unfolding rout as he cleaned himself, appreciating the deftness and agility in Shivo's movements, the lithe grace of her furry little body, tumbling and twisting and showing off everything she had...

Philo shivered, and decided dunking himself again was a fine idea. He stayed under the water for an extra-long moment, mind racing, while Sikander dimly chuckled from a long way away.

---

Shivo leered pointedly at her weighty target, keeping up her stream of lewd gestures, though there was clearly no need anymore. She danced constantly, tumbling away from perceived or imagined moments of opportunity frustrating her lumbering, legless enemy's attempts to draw a bead on her.

Buffo didn't help the mustachioed lady's efforts when, abruptly, without warning, without any preamble at all... punched her across the face, then zipped straight up at speed before she could have realized what had happened. Even as she still reeled, though, he dropped again, landing on her broad backside, and leaned forward to embrace her, whisper sweet nothings in her ear- incredibly high-pitched nothings, but they were just for her; special. He, somehow, winked at Shivo as he fluttered away. She incorporated a thumbs-up into her gesturing, then extended it into a superfast jab, smacking the poor girl directly between her boggling eyes. Shivo capered perpendicular to the way she had come, so that the disoriented and battered sea lion would lose track of her entirely. She caught sight of Philo, submerged up to his beak such that only his baleful eyes and sodden crest reared above the water. She giggled and blew him a kiss as she danced, cheekily giggling; she was having such a good time. he seemed to stiffen, then subsided beneath the water again. Strange bird.

Philo's bath was more than satisfactory, the cool ocean water removing what gunk the Water Gun hadn't managed to clear off, the faint briny tang making it all hte more refreshing. It was a lovely little trysting spot, this beach...many a pokemon used this out of the way cove for such things..but I'm sure Philo isn't interested in anything of the sort.

Really.

Still, for his two companions, the fight goes quite well, as first Shivo, then Buffo flash forward at unbelievable speed, one from the left the other from the right as she comes ashore. The sealeo bellows in confusion and surprise, lunging forward almost randomly at the nearest target, Slamming into Shivo and knocking her tubmling back as she's recovering from her own attack, Buffo darting betwen her and the lady walrus and blasting her in the face with a confusing array of lights to further muddle the situation.

She bellows and flails about wildly as your two companions back away, writhing on the beach in confusion, attacking anything near her, including rocks and the surf and the scrubby little tree on the shore...a few times of bashing at it and she topples over slowly, having knocked herself out in her own confusion.

The tree seems to have weathered it rather well, though the wobbling flash of blue among the leaves is eye catching, as a small sphere wobbles there. It's not alone...but the others are much darker, more black than blue, as if not yet ripe.

Philo reemerged from the water, dragging the bloated body behind him, only to be attacked immediately. Shivo catapulted into him, wrapping herself around him as she gibbered excitedly, describing her epic battle and supplicating his approval with her great, big eyes. He awkwardly patted her on the head and muttered something encouraging, earning a deeper hug with a great deal of pressure from her little body against his, before she leapt gracefully off of him and tumbled away to see what Buffo was doing, investigating that tree.

Philo thought he should probably go back in the water. Sikander dimly suggested that he should train her harder.

Why? Philo shot back at him, perplexed.

Build her up to evolving faster; make you look like less of a cradle-snatching freak. His man laughed, and Philo, for the second time that day, attempted to shove him angrily from his mind- pausing only as the images the man was gleaning from his pokedex filtered through to him. The infernape examples looked... strong. Philo stared at Shivo, as she and Buffo played with the weird fruit they had found like a ball, wondering how her little monkey self would translate, losing her awkwardly charming disproportion to become svelte, elegant...

Philo shook himself, and forced his mind to how to proceed. The three bodies arrayed were clearly far too much to eat for the three of them. Philo was loathe to leave such a feast behind, but on the one hand, there was no fresh water readily available, making stopping for repast right here an unwelcoming prospect, and on the other...

... actually, he wasn't entirely averse to carrying the meal to water. The fat bodies weren't particularly burdensome to his prodigious strength. He hefted the walrein rivals by their tails, dragged them experimentally, and determined he would be fine. With a whistle, he indicated to Buffo and Shivo that they were on their way. It would be a pleasant walk down the beach, dragging a pair of insensible walruses behind, until they found a freshet of water running to the sea. Shivo unceremoniously climbed onto one of the dragging tubs of blubber, increasing the burden of it imperceptibly; she stretched out to take a rest, using a new trick to restore herself back to fighting condition while she chilled.

Buffo was lookout, then. Bored, he zipped ahead, scouted around, waiting for anything interesting to pop up; he investigated every tidal pool and stand of rocks left behind by the rushing sea, hoping looking for something shiny to play with.

Hey, lazing around and doing nothing always makes one feel better about life, and Shivo was no exception. It was a lovely day, now that the gunk was gone, and the prospect of a rather tasty meal ahead...well, what was not good with the world?

The group trudged on, looking for a good campsite. Buffo, a ways ahead, spotted the river first, small, sparkling from time to time from sunlight on rapids, but cheerful and welcoming. It would likely be the perfect spot to set up camp for a time.

"Bui! Bui!" A head popped out of the river, and glided ashore, quickly followed by another. "Zel!" The two otters darted ashore, sleek hides glistening in the sun as the bounded up a hill, and then slid down the side of it to splash into the river. What fun! One of the two of them waved cheerily to the ledian, as if inviting him to play with them.

Philo was ignoring Buffo when he looked back for advice on how to proceed. The bird himself was looking behind him, presumably giving his attention to Shivo while she reclined vacuously on the unconscious walrein. Buffo snorted out of his abdomen. Shivo wasn't bad, really, but Buffo more and more often wished he'd been able to ditch her before Philo had met her. If Philo was going to get all stricken over her, there wasn't much Buffo could do but recklessly endanger himself in order to get the bird's attention back.

So he hovered down to the level of the otters, recalling the spherical fruit he was carrying, thinking how remarkably like a ball it was. Well, if they wanted to play...

He didn't completely intend to hit either of them with it very hard. He made no attempt at a gentle throw, but he wasn't exactly a physical powerhouse; it bounced before it reached them easily. How the offering would be taken, was anyone's guess. Probably better than the appearance of a giant, murderous blaziken without any warning would be. He wondered if he should. Maybe, maybe not. Big Bird was still a ways off, anyway. So Buffo bobbed in a merry sort of style and got closer, indicating he would follow these guys about and see what sort of adventures they could get up to.

ADVENTURE TIME.

So you wanna be a master?
.3 :gexp and, uh. Sure. Water is awesome.

Bored and irritated with his larger traveling companion, Buffo decided to have fun with some little water weasels! Luckily for him, they were paying attention when he threw the apricorn at them.

"Bui!" Barked one weasel merrily, catching the apricorn on the tip of his nose and swaying back in forth in the water, balancing it expertly there for a moment before giving his head a little bob and tossing it to the other Buizel. "Zel!"

"Zel!" The other weasel caught the apricorn on the base of his snout and gave his head a little flick and roll to get the blue sphere back up to where it should be, on the end of his nose. Barking back and forth at each other, the two Buizel tossed the apricorn back and forth between themselves as they cavorted about in the water, putting on quite a show for the watching Ledian. Eventually they took to tossing the apricorn in the air and shooting thin streams of water at it to make it bounce.

While the one Buizel was demonstrating how long one could balance an apricon on top of a stream of water no bigger than a pencil, the other weasel swam over to the bank and popped up right underneath Buffo, tail wagging behind him and throwing up little splashes of water. "Bui!" He barked, gesturing at the Ledian with his paws, inviting him to come and play further out in the water. There were a series of small rocks protruding from the surface of the river, a place for Buffo to rest should he get tired, or simply desire a better place to stand while playing. Who knows, there could be something interesting around those rocks.

Buffo watched for a moment, calm, collected, dispassionate... and then zipped forward, kicking the ball out of their control and juggling it midair, avoiding their playful jets of water trying to nab it back. Tiring of keep-away quickly, he spiked the apricorn down into the water for them to reclaim, and settled on the midstream stone, ruffling his wings as he looked around him for something more interesting to occupy him.

Philo, meanwhile, pointedly urged Shivo to mend her layabout ways and go join Buffo in his fun, while he lugged the walrein into a likely spot, and cracked their heads together to belay their revival.

Shivo danced to the edge of the water regarding the pair of otters with only mild hesitation, scooping water to drink from the river, then bounding onto another isolated stone to join in the play.

The stone was slick, threatening to throw Buffo into the currents that awaited had it not been for the ladybug's natural adhesion to surfaces. His wings ached from the earlier exertion, though not as painful as it could have been should he had found himself in the middle of a battle, dodging and diving to stay misaligned from any rogue or successful attacks. The rocky outcrop was barely out of the rushing waters, fresh foam and mist wafting around the Ledian's small body, but in the center of the rocky formation sat a small pool of water, not even submerged half-an-inch. The water was calm,

And buried underneath the watery surface was the glint of something metallic, though the corrosion of rust from untold time sitting here in the sun and water made it almost impossible to identify without a closer inspection.

"Bui!" One water weasel looked up at Buffo, a small wicked smile on it's face. It had been such a long time that another Pokemon had come to play with the both of them, it could hardly contain himself, jettisoning a stream of water into the air above the flying bug. The dark iris of his eyes turned even darker, a ripple in the water behind him becoming gouged out as an current of wind sliced through the surface

"Zel!" His companion chattered, frowning as it let loose a small water gun, striking the staring Buizel squarely in the back of his furry noggin. He had scolded his friend for getting too wrapped up and aggressive in their playtime, but noooo, he never listens.

"Zelbui! Buibuizel!"

A jerk over his shoulder towards Shivo antics seemed to settle whatever exchange the two had, the acorn flying high in the air towards the Monferno.

Buffo watched the playful mammals warily, wondering if they were about to turn on him... and darting glances at the shiny thing he had spied. When their attention turned to Shivo, he shamelessly began to gouge at the tiny pool of water, splashing it out of the way to get at the precious shiny whatever.

And Shivo, rather lazily, raised her hand over her head without her eyes following, snatched the ball out of the air, and looked at it contemplatively. Ball. Blue. Hm. She sat, and spun it on her finger, paying no attention whatever to the otters who had chucked it at her.

Whatever they might have thought of that, Philo distracted them from it by dropping into the water upstream, ducking and throwing his head back to drink, completely unconcerned. If they wanted to stick around while he was doing his thing, well, let them. He didn't think they would, though; he didn't spare them a thought, either. Not to encourage them to run, nor to stick around; he was taking a drink, and then he was getting back to cooking. And if they wanted to screw around with his young friends, well, they could probably guess what would happen to them.

Shivo petulantly threw the apricorn back to the buizel, forgetting it belonged to them in the first place, and began leaping from rock to rock, heading gradually closer to where the mouth of the river led to the ocean; Buffo had apparently found something shiny. She wanted shiny things, too.

.3 (Sorry for lack of inspiration...hopefully it's at least satisfactory.)

The buizel caught the ball hurled at them as they darted around Shivo's rock, barking eagerly as they tossed it from one to the other and back as she bounded toward Buffo. The sight of the blaiziken coming to drink made them a bit wary, though, and they moved a bit downstream to play with their toy.

Philo didn't look like someone who wanted to play, nor did he look like someone they wanted to mess with.

Still, they didn't go completely out of sight, moving a distance downstream, still playing catch with the nifty toy given to them.

Buffo pryed and pulled and scrabbled at the rock, trying to free the sparkly prize from it's watery little grave, but it was stubborn, proving nearly impossible to wrest loose. Finally with a heave and a pop, the Ledian managed to yank it out just before Shivo arrived. It was a good thing he could fly or that would have landed him in the river.

Still, he had the shiny, and not Shivo, so hah. A close examination revealed the thing to be a coing resembling that which one found on a meowth's forehead, though tarnished and a bit crusted over with grime of goodness knows how long it had been trapped on that rock. Still, with enough effort, it could be shined up to a brand sparkly newness, that was sure to bring its owner luck...

~~~~~~~~

Guess what? It's an Amulet Coin! (It will need cleaned up before it'll function tho.)

...Iunno. It was the first shiny thing I could find. Polish it up and start earning double the cash...oh, wait. Well, maybe Sikander will like it.

Buffo exulted, and Shivo fumed. She made a half-hearted swipe at the bug, but she didn't really want his shiny thing. She wanted a shiny thing all her own. And by the shining light of Arceus, she would have one.

She bounced downstream, eventually coming upon the tidal rocks that filled the mouth of the stream, where the water began to become salty. The tide would be low, this being pretty much the middle of the day, leaving pools of varying size scattered around, and very likely the bounty of the sea trapped in them as well. She began to survey each and every one, looking for anything that glinted or glimmered, so she could claim it for her own.
