Cody's Bladder Countdown: 3 posts to go (should end here)

~~~~~

"This should do."

The most immediate thing that the marshlands had going for them was the lack of poisonous stuff everywhere. Instead, there were puddles, and refreshingly clean ones at that. Cody looked up in desperation, and at Alex's nod, leapt off the Metagross Cavalry and darted to the nearest available puddle. Alex disembarked to catch up, and make sure he didn't run off too far.

A few seconds passed in silence, then:

"I can't go if you're watching."

Sigh. Alex made a point of looking away, focusing on Steely instead as Cody did his business. No, not like that, Guru. He would never think something like that whilst escorting a small child with his pants around his ankles. Because that would just be creepy and inappropriate.

Anyway. Once Cody was finished, he clambered back onto Ozma, whilst Alex rejoined Guru on Enigma's back. No accidents, no rusting, everyone was happy. They moved to continue north, towards Pontarctica. The trip would probably be much more pleasant now that the smell had improved.

Finally in a place that wasn't poisoned death, Steely took a deep breath of the wet air and sighed. So much better. It felt like her sense of smell was finally coming back after being destroyed by the putrid swamp air.

"I have never been so happy to see water in all my life," she sighed, and Ozma descended with her thoughts. She slid off of the dark colored Pokemon and stretched her arms above her head. She heard the little boy say something, glanced over, and then what he said sunk into her head and she snapped her head to look away. Hm... they weren't in a nasty swamp now, so...

She called out Raider again, who was set and ready with a disgusted look on his face but it faded when he saw where they were. Water! he made like he was going to go splash in the nearest puddle, but she managed to grab his scruff and stop him. "Could you like, wait until we move away from here,"

Raijin blinked at her, but he heard the sounds of tinkling going on Over There and it clicked. Oh. Ok, he sniffed the air and looked around, looking excited. Meanwhile, Steely climbed back up onto Ozma's back and pulled out her pokedex, thumbing through it again to see what they could find out here. She jumped a little when Cody suddenly found his way into her lap again and grinned, obviously feeling a lot better.

"We still got a ways, but it shouldn't be too much longer," she patted the small child on the head as they continued off again. Raider skirted the puddled until he deemed that they were at a 'safe' distance, and simply dove into the first one he saw. If it was deep, he swam around in it, but if it wasn't, then he jumped and splashed, getting soaked and muddy either way.

Do you think we'll find sister Suicune here? he asked, moving onto the next puddle. Steely looked up from her 'dex, slightly surprised. It was the first time he had specifically asked about his... er, 'siblings'. She leaned over to see him, while Cody played with her pokedex when she wasn't paying attention, trying to find pokemon he liked. "Well, I don't know. You can't tell where they are?"

He huffed and shook his head, shaking water out of his fur.

"Well... I hope we find one of the others soon,"

So do I.



What Frac said, yeah.

Happiness for Raider?

After Cody was ready to go again, they were off to moving and finding pokemon again. Hurray for alleviating Cody's full bladder of scariness. No accidents was a good thing, especially because Enigma didn't want to rust. He was really happy about that as he clambered up on Steely's lap and started to fiddle with her pokedex. I hope he washed his hands. I REALLY hope he washed his hands, actually. Onward to Pontarctica!

SPLOOSH. Raider splashed into another puddle and another and another. He was having a lot of fun because they were in the puddlelands, which was the best place for a thunder kitty to be. As thunder kitty splashed in puddles and ask for his sister he encountered few pokemon splashing in puddles too! Splash... SplashSplash... LOOM. Thunder Kitty loomed over the three Oddish splashing in the puddle. The three Oddish just looked up at the kitty and shrugged a little as they started to splash puddle water at him in their shallow puddle of nice... no tinkling-ness.

The three Oddish, after some time, clambered up from where they were splashing and started to dance around Raider before trying to climb up onto the kitty, being all cute. I think they just want to splash and play with Raider. It seems like fun.

+1 :happiness for Thunder Kitty.

"Huh," Alex remarked, watching Raider splash about in the puddles without a care in the world. "I thought cats didn't like water." Come to think of it, was Raikou a cat? A dog? A gerbil? Whatever, he spewed thunder and he was coated in electrolytes. Alex wasn't going to argue semantics with him.

Cue the appearance of a trio of Oddish, being all splashy and cutesy and suchlike. Figured that wild pokémon would start popping up again now that the environment wasn't toxic anymore. They looked a bit too strong for Alex's pokémon to handle them comfortably, but then again, Raider could probably swat them with but a thought. He turned to Steely to see what she made of it.

"Oddish seem to crop up everywhere, don't they?" He glanced at the plants, which seemed perfectly content in their splashing. "At least they're not attacking. Leave them to it?"

If they did, onward they went, maybe with some wildlife in tow.

Let's say for sake of cleanliness that he did. Yeah.

Raijin came upon these curious creatures and watched them while they splashed. He jerked his head back when they didn't seem to mind him, and grinned at their splashing, and lightly splashed them back. The thunder legend laughed a little, amused with the small leafy Pokemon.

"Kind of not exactly what I'm looking for... oh well," Steely looked back down at her pokedex, noticed Cody was immersed in looking at the pictures, and just let him keep playing with it. She knew the few Pokemon she wanted to find out here, and it wouldn't be that hard. Fortunately for the Oddish, they were an evolutionary step below what she was looking for.

"I know Zelda doesn't like water. She doesn't like getting dirty at all, though. And besides, tigers like water," she nodded sagely, as if tigers existed in Opaddeka besides the thunder beast that was playing below them, "Or at least he does... I guess,"

They floated onwards on their flying machines, and Raider looked up to watch them, then back down at the plants. He tried to gently shake them off, I'm sorry, but I can't stay to play with you guys. We're looking for my siblings, he rumbled at them, gesturing with his head up at the three humans and two metagross. But you can ride with us for a little while if you want, he offered, if they really wanted to stay. Either way, he wanted to race to catch up... not like they had gotten very far ahead, but still.



What Frac said, yeah.

The oddish let out a joyous shout of celebration as they scrambled to clamber ontop of the metagross to ride along with the humans. They never got to travel like this, it would be quite the adventure!

Plopping themselves, two to one metagross, one on the other. They proceeded to sing out cheerily in their little oddish voices, which would no doubt announce to every creature around that they were approaching... It would probably be sure fire way to warn off most skittish pokemon if it wasn't for the sudden wiff of sweetness and delicious scents in the air.

So content, the trio of oddish were releasing sweet scent into the air, as they were carried from the wetlands to the more wooded region.

Life! Glorious, beautiful life! Alex's smile grew when he saw the trees dotted about the landscape - it meant that the lifeless toxicity of Xugbar was finally being overpowered by greenery.

Speaking of greenery, the Oddish hitching a ride on Raikou seemed happy enough, filling the air with a welcome aroma. It was quite a sweet smell, actually. Refreshing.

A bit too sweet, if you ask me. Guru observed. They might attract unwanted attention.

Oh, right. Sweet Scent was a problem. Or, it would have been, if the party didn't contain a freaking legendary. Alex thought for a moment.

"Shouldn't be too much of a problem. Either they attack, and we fight them off, or they don't, and they join the party." Simple, in theory.

So the thundercat had his passengers and they continued onwards, over the puddles and into an area with some trees! Wonderful, green trees! They were a very welcome sight, for sure. They were actually alive.

Steely deeply inhaled the air, pleased by the sweet scent and a little drowsy and stupid from it. She wobbled, earning a glance over his shoulder from Cody, "Whatsamatter?"

"Hmm?" she questioned, though didn't seem all with it for a second, "Oh uh... nothing. Just like the smell, that's all," she shook her head and looked around, spotting Raikou down below, looking at the trees curiously as he moved around them. Through her dumb haze, she realized that the sweet scent was going to attract critters that they may or may not want to deal with, but... she was past caring. Floating through the air like they were, brain all clouded up... life was good.

And this was when I realized that sweet scent could be a bit like smoking pot or something. What a weird realization. But of course, Steely didn't realize much of anything right now, and that's what really matters here.

Thundercat and his passengers were all safe, though they started to release a Sweet Scent, which wasn't so good. It was good for luring pokemon towards the area that the scent originated. That said, who would really want to attack a Thundercat? Honestly. Odds are that you would get slaughtered. Sweet Scent was a Problem, but it wasn't a problem that Thundercat couldn't fix with a Roar or two. Maybe a few roars or some lightning strikes or something, he was the Thundercat after all.

Moving on.

The Patch of Trees area was good for finding pokemon that liked to live near trees, especially in this area of the marshlands. Like, I don't know... Mothim and Burmy? That was what the Oddish Sweet Scent attracted. Two Mothim and a Burmy being all happy. They weren't at all hostile, just enjoying the scent because it was rather intoxicating and sense dulling. The wonders of Sweet Scent, it could attract any pokemon that liked the smell which was terrible at times but this time it was good. Don't you just love Oddish Hitchhikers? They are like Raider's personal entourage.

Turned out Guru was right as usual. The scent given off by the hitchhiking Oddish had attracted some more pokémon. Burmy and Mothim, if Alex wasn't mistaken. They were typical bug pokémon, really. Not too powerful or interesting, and he had no intention of training one. But again, they weren't aggressive. If he or Steely ever wanted rid of them, it would be easy to either use the black flutes or have Raikou roar at them or something. Besides, Guru could scan their thoughts and give them an early warning if they showed any hostility.

Hey... hey Alex... The mental voice was more disjointed than usual.

"What is it?"

Have you ever just... looked at nature? Like, really looked at it? Guru's moustache jiggled as he spoke. Because... duuuude...

Oh dear. Alex knew that Sweet Scent affected the mindset of a pokémon, acting as a lure and a natural depressant. If he didn't know any better, he'd say that Guru was getting high off Oddish fumes.

The trees... the grass... the Oddish... they're all connected, Alex. It's like, a giant beehive. That... that blows the mind. Like, woah.

Alex tried his best to stifle his laughter, and almost succeeded. This would be perfect counter-ammunition for any time the Alakazam brought up lapducks in the future. Okay, he probably wouldn't be doing much battling until the narcotic Sweet Scent had gone, but that was okay. Both Alex and Steely had other pokémon, and the psychic's antics were worth it.

Duuuude... Guru piped up, inspecting Enigma's back with wonderment. It's like a living mirror!

Steely found her mental state gently poked back into normalcy by the psychic she was sitting on, and her attention directed over to the moths and cocoon. They fluttered around the sweetly scented Pokemon, and didn't at all seem to notice or care about anything otherwise. Steely, like Alex, decided to just leave them alone.

Raikou was surprised at the moths, since he had never seen bugs like these before. The thunder beast smiled at them, not hostile at all, and watched as they paid more attention to the oddish then they did to him. It didn't bother him, and he got to take a second and really look at these new creatures.

It must be nice to fly, he observed as he continued to walk, keeping his pace at a slow level so the oddish didn't fall off, and the moths could keep up. Still, the sweet scent continued, they could potentially attract more Pokemon as they ambled along through the threes and to the next part of the wet area.

Which, it was kind of nice. Especially after that foul swamp. Steely let her mind drift away again, humming passively to herself. Almost as an afterthought, she called out Ravage, and got his attention before he too became dumb by the scent.

"Hey, uh. Keep an eye out for some certain wild Pokemon, huh? Those oddish are attracting things, but if you see, uh... a walking flower-thing, a giant flytrap, a bunch of eggs, or a yellow and brown tapir, let me know, eh?"

Ravage bobbed his whole body, and flew up higher, so the scent didn't disable him either. But he kept watch out for the Pokemon that Steely had mentioned, but didn't actively search. If they wandered into their space, then he'd let her know, but if not, then it was no big deal.



What Frac said, yeah.

Anyways. Like the Pied Piper Sweet Scent continue! The Mothim and Burmy followed Raider and co on their journey through the area, with no stopping them. They were just hopping with the Metagross and Raikou because of the intoxicating scent, even Guru was having some... minor side effects because of the smell. It was good times for pokemon, pokemon that could smell anyways.

As Steely and Alex acrossed the Patch of Trees into the Sparse Shrubs area, more pokemon had started to follow them because of the Oddish. Weren't they just lovely? You really couldn't hate the Oddish for doing what they were doing. They were just really happy because they were with their Raikou friend. I think that they loved the Thundercat a little too much, but that didn't matter since they made most pokemon very docile around the sabre tooth kitty and the two floating arachnids. Speaking of which, more and more pokemon were pulling along side Raider and the two Metagross. It was like an Army had just rose up, too bad Steely and Alex were heading up north to a colder area. Hardly any of them would last.

After a few moments Ravage squeaked to alert Steely that there were pokemon along side, something she was looking for. If Steely was to look over to Raider she would see two Gloom Dancing, awfully, beside the Thunder Kitty because of the sweet scent.

Oh hey, Gloom. Guru piped up, momentarily distracted from the oh-so-shiny Enigma. Didn't Steely want to find one of those for her pokédex? His head tilted to the side. They kinda look like they have Iapapa berries on their heads. Aw, now I've got mad munchies.

With the addition of Gloom to the entourage, they were building up quite the following. And hey, something that was on Steely's checklist. Alex consulted his pokédex to get a rough estimate of their strength, then looked over to Steely and Cody.

"Your call on the Gloom. Enigma can help out if you need him to."

Although, given how many other pokémon were nearby, perhaps it would be best to work out a plan of attack first, should they decide to try and catch one. A large-scale battle probably wasn't ideal at this point.

Ravage had to swoop down and gently hit Steely with the edge of his wing to get her attention, and he pointed down at the two gloom so that Steely would notice them. She blinked at the bat, then down at Raider and his army, and realization hit her.

"Sweeeet," She shook her head and started to slide off of Ozma and to the ground, "Let's see if I can try something here," she said up to Alex, and followed behind the others. The land was damp, but the shrubbery did a good job of soaking most of it up. Her boots and pants would likely be muddy later, but it was a small price to pay.

Raider was humming some random tune he was making up as he went along, practically prancing as he walked. He couldn't run with this group following him, but he didn't mind. The smell was nice. Steely walked up alongside, and he looked over, surprised to see her down, but she just waved at him.

Instead, she went to address the gloom. "Hey, you two. Nice day eh?" she started, still sounding kind of hazy from the smell, especially now that she was closer, "Look, uh... how would one of you like to evolve? I mean like, not right this second... but I have a proposition," she tried to think and carefully word what she was going to ask, but decided to just wing it since thinking too much was proving difficult, "Maybe, when we get to the edge of this wet area here, I could catch one of you? I won't be able to evolve you until we get to the next city, but once I do, I promise to release you back into the wild. I wouldn't want to, like, hold you down or nothin',"

Well, little loopy as it was, it was sincere at least. And if the gloom didn't bite... then no big deal. They were all cool here, right? Suuuuure.



What Frac said, yeah.

Also! Spiel? Ish.

This was a rather large group these two were starting to accumulate. Like our dear friend Alex pointed out, this wasn't the idea setting to start a massive battle. Sure with that lightning kitteh around, their chances were good, but still. Better to play it safe and wait for the opportune moment. To make matters worse, the wild Pokemon were more interested in dancing and having fun so Steely's offer fell onto deaf ears, at least for the moment. Stlll, this moment would soon take a turn for the worse.

Suddenly, the ground rumbled. It was only for a split second, but it was enough for the wild Pokemon to stop their prancing around as well as our intrepid duo. The companions then jumped off the lightning kitty as fast as their wings, legs and bouncy tails could carry them. It was obvious that the Pokemon we're afraid of something, and it was probably best to follow their lead and run somewhere safe. However, as luck would have it, there was no time.

The ground gave out beneath Alex and Steely's feet, sending them plummeting into the dark void that was the underground. Thankfully, the fall wasn't all that massive which explains why they managed stave off death at this very moment. No more than twenty feet with a soft and loamy earth pile to save them from breaking a leg or something. Well at least no one's dead... yet.

For a few seconds, Alex and Steely struggled to regain their bearings and figure out where they were. It only took a few minutes, but soon they managed to get back to their feet without much to hinder them. The only injuries were, at worst, a scrape and bruise or two, nothing to really write home about. Raikou and Guru, who had also partaken in the fall, were also okay for the most part, though they could use a bath. The flying Crobat and the other Pokemon managed to avoid falling due to their quick actions, or in the bat's case his flying. The bat slowly descended to join his team.

Once the team manged to regain their bearings, they noticed something very interesting. They were in the middle of some kind of dug out structure. Further analysis would lead to the theory that Diglett and Dugtrio had dug out what seemed to be a hall of some kind with a twenty foot tall ceiling. Whatever it was, it was an impressive architectural project to be undertaken by the moles. Still, the construction was still underway, so there was no way of telling its true purpose just yet. Another thing, there were two tunnels that connected to this space. One to the north and one to the south.

Something should be noted. The Crobat, not having been involved in the fall, managed to catch a glimpse of something. It was that a group of what looked to be Digletts and Dugtrio's were making their way out of the construction site via the use of the south tunnel. With the speed they were going at, it was possible to surmise that the falling ceiling had scared them away. Still, something caught it's eye. They were carrying off what seemed to be a Pokeball of some kind. From this distance, it was hard to make out what kind or which one it was but it'd be best to inform his master as soon as possible.

Now that the team was ready to get back to their swamp adventures, it would be ideal to check their belongings to see if it was all still there. If they did this, they would soon find out that not everything was there. Steely soon found something was missing it was... *Uses RNG* ... Zelda's Pokeball! This added with Ravage's info would lead the one obvious and logical conclusion... THOSE MOLE STOLE ZELDA'S POKEBALL!!! I don't know about you, but I know that I'd chase those things down and give them one hell of a beating.

By this time, the mole's were long gone, but there was still time. The horde of Diglett and Dugtrio made one critical mistake. They left a pretty easy trail to follow. There may still be time to rescue the poor Espeon before anything bad happened. Now go! Follow the moles and get back what was stolen from you! However doing so would mean leaving behind that little posse of wild Pokemon. No. There was no time to think about them. Steely and Alex had more important things to do and do them, they shall. Unless of course they don't care about Zelda and choose to leave her to the moles. The choice is theirs.
As a side note, the two of you entered the Diglett Tunnels. so you each get +2 :fp for finding a new entrance. Enjoy!

...so. Right.

"Ow,"

Luckily, Steely and Raider were the only two that were actually standing on the ground (Alex was in the air, sitting on his metagross, and had always been in the air), and Cody had still been sitting up on Ozma. The great thundercat hissed and yowled, flailing to stand up again, and crackling with electricity to light up the cavern around them.

Steely grabbed a handful of Raikou's skin and pulled herself up, the big cat didn't even notice, too busy hissing and watching the retreating forms of the moles. Ravage and Ozma floated down at about this point, as the diglett and dugtrio disappeared.

"Think one of your balls fell off of your belt," Ravage chirped, hovering by her shoulder. Steely followed where Ozma was pointing, down the tunnel where the moles had gone. She reached for her Pokemon, only to realize that one was missing. She was able to tell which one right away, "Aw crap,"

I've got it, Raider said abruptly, and took off down the tunnel after them. Steely bit her lip and hurried to call out another of her Pokemon, speaking to the red light even as it formed, "Hurricane, go follow 'em, alright?"

Right. he turned and was gone too, leaving Steely to scramble after them. She looked back to make sure Alex was coming, and to make sure Cody was alright. The boy was looking around eagerly, but seemed anxious too. "Well, c'mon," she hurried after her Pokemon.

Raider was actually pretty mad at the moles. They had ruined his fun with those wild Pokemon up above, and he felt the need to make them pay. But, the claustrophobic tunnels they were in made him nervous, and he knew that their comrade was more important then revenge. So he was focused on trying to get Zelda's ball back.

Hurricane was right with Raider, just in case things went bad for them, then the thunder legend wasn't alone. That and if he failed to grab Zelda's ball back, then Hurc could try.

The thunder cat leapt once he saw the ball, saber teeth spread wide, and he tried to grab the sphere in his mouth. If he missed, then Hurricane would try right after, leaping like a ninja. Luckily, Raider's back cloud was crackling with electricity, which provided them with light. Not that Hurricane needed light, being able to read the mole's aura... and that power would also help him figure out where they were going to move, if they were going to run.

And, well, once they got the ball back, they could get back to Steely and get the hell out of this hole.



Raider the Raikou is using Quick Attack to chase down the moles (and Hurricane is using Extremespeed) and trying to grab the ball back.
And if that doesn't work, then Hurricane is going to try and predict the mole's movements and grab it back himself.

If they get it back, then they run back to Steely and co.

Suddenly, everyone vanished.

Alex blinked, then looked down at the gaping hole that had appeared in the ground. How rare! The trainer leaned over and peered into the hole from his perch on Enigma.

"Steely? You okay down there?"

Since the sweet scent from the Oddish had suddenly vanished, Guru snapped to his senses, shaking his head to clear his mind.

Way to harsh my buzz there. His moustache twitched. Wait a minute... I was high off Oddish fumes, and you didn't try and snap me out of it?

Alex shrugged. "Consider it payback for the lapduck routine."

Touché. Guru glanced down into the hole. I suppose you'll want to get Steely out of the tunnel system, then? After she's recovered Zelda's pokéball, that is.

"It's a plan. Ozma or Enigma can help get her back up." Alex descended into the tunnel system on Enigma, following Ozma and a quite bewildered Cody. Poor kid didn't quite know what to make of all this, so he kept quiet, clinging tightly onto Ozma's back.

Since Raikou and Hurc seemed to have the chase covered, Alex organised the assembled psychics into a recon centre. With an Alakazam and two Metagross monitoring the immediate area and locked onto the locations of the two chasers, there wouldn't be any danger of anyone getting lost.

~~~~~

Guru, Enigma and Ozma set up a psychic communications centre to keep track of Raikou/Hurricane/fleeing Diglett.

Several things happened before the rescue operations began. Let’s start with Alex and his Communication Center. It was a sound strategy, for the most part yet it had a hole. There were a ton of a Diglett and Dugtrio’s. By a ton, I’m referring to well over a hundred at the bare minimum. This is what caused the huge trail of over turned dirt and mole claw marks. In addition to that, the simple fact that they didn’t know that they were dragging the Pokeball along with them made it hard to keep track of the moles. I mean, there were hundreds in the area beyond the ones that they were following. Still, they tried their best.

Meanwhile, Steely released her Lucario. A quick order, and both the lightning cat and the iron dog went off full speed in search of their prey. This is when things got a little frustrating. Both monsters were pretty fast and managed to cover a lot of distance in just a matter of seconds, however they hit a snag. This snag came in the form of a fork in the road. They barely managed to stop in time to avoid slamming into one of the walls, let alone figure out where the Pokemon headed off to.

A few seconds after stopping, and taking a moment to read the tracks, they saw that the group had slip up into one of four tunnels. Each one had the scent of Diglett and Dugtrio, which made it impossible for the legend of thunder to trace effectively. Meanwhile, Hurricane attempted to use his power’s of aura to try and locate the moles. He met with slightly better results than the kitty. His power of aura allowed him to see into the tunnels and locate the fleeing Pokemon. However, he had a limit. Since he was trying to locate a small object in a mass of dome like creatures, he failed. All he was able to tell the others was that they split up, which was pretty much what Raider came up with.

The bad news just kept getting worse. At the current distance that the psychics were allowed them to coordinate the movements of their comrades but this was quickly becoming difficult. The growing amount of dirt, stone and wild Pokemon minds that had built up to this point made it hard to continue this long distance communications. If any further distance was gained, there was no guarantee that the communications would hold, leaving three Pokemon lost in the tunnels. Perhaps splitting up wasn't as good an idea as it originally sounded.

Raider slammed his paws into the ground and skidded to a stop, growling in frustration at the four tunnels. Hurricane skidded to rest beside him, ears and the things on the back of his head standing up as he scanned around.

Somebody must hate us,

What?

Nothing.

At this point, Steely and co. caught up to them, and the girl groaned when she figured out what was going on, "And we had been doing so well too," she sighed, referring to the fact that they had been covering ground on the island rather well, only to be thrust into this stupid little side quest that would earn them nothing in the end. Just their luck, she figured.

I am going this way, Raider said suddenly, turning and heading down the first tunnel. Steely snapped her head over to look at him, but he was already walking away. She could easily sense his irritation and how much he wanted to get this over with.

"Could somebody go with him?" she said to everyone else, and looked down the second tunnel. Ozma was peering in that direction, so she figured that they could search there. "C'mon Ozzy, let's go," she climbed up on the metagross and they headed off.

Apocalypse and Ravage started down the third one, hopefully not alone, and left with Alex, Hurricane peered at the human and shrugged. Guess I'm with you,

Steely sighed where they were floating along, looking around for any sign of Zelda's ball, mumbling angrily to herself. Cody blinked up at her innocently, "Why don't you just ask them to give it back?"

She fixed the kid with a skeptical look, and the boy shrugged and turned to look down the tunnel, cupping his hands to his mouth, "Hey mole-y things, can you come back so we can have that ball?" he called down the tunnel, which echoed slightly. Steely didn't say anything, just a little snorting chuckle. She doubted that would do any good. Knowing their luck, it would end up screwing them over, but oh well. That was life.

Problem, folks. They've split up. Guru relayed to the trainers. All pursuits invariably seemed to involve groups splitting up. That would mean the party had to go farther into the tunnels than they had planned, which was slightly annoying. Alex made a point of remembering where this opening was, and memorising the route taken so that they could find their way back again. His memory was excellent by human standards, but even if the maze of tunnels became too complex, it would be easily within the capabilities of the three superintelligent psychics that he and Steely had between them.

Once they'd caught up with Raider and Hurc, they made search plans. Or rather the Raikou made his own mind up and Guru accompanied him in the first tunnel. Since Ozma was taking the second tunnel, Enigma covered number three with Apoc and Ravage, which left Hurc with Alex and tunnel four. And the pokémon he had yet to release.

"Guru, Enigma, Ozma." Alex said as a quick briefing. "Try and maintain communications between the groups. If anyone finds Zelda, let us know. If we get cut off, meet back at this junction."

If only there were some way of remotely activating a pokéball, then the Espeon would be much easier to find. As it was, Alex resorted to keeping his eyes peeled. If the light levels got too low, he had those night vision goggles of his to detect any Diglett heat signatures. That, and Hurc's funky sight beyond sight.

Right, so.

They were back here again. The two metagross floated up out of the hole and they were back among the shrubbery and damp air. That made... forest, swamp, tunnels, and water that they had covered. Now they just needed the snow and the mountains and they were set!

"Nearly there. Ish. We should prolly hurry now, though," Steely looked north, seeing the capped peaks way, way in the distance. But, she wanted Raider to have some fun, so she let the big cat out again.

Do you think those other Pokemon are still around? he asked, looking for the oddish and other grass and bug types that had been part of their little parade. "I dunno, but if not, we should get going either way. The fall prolly scared them away," Steely said to the thunder cat. The two floating Pokemon continued on, and Raider walked after them, looking around for the Pokemon from before. Mostly the oddish, because they had smelled really, really good.

The trainer girl chuckled and shook her head, looking down at Cody playing with Mr. Miju, pretending that he was flying. Must have been nice to be five years old... didn't have to worry about much of anything, unlike the older folks. But, hey, that was life.



Raider is looking for the oddish that he had kinda befriended before.

Obligatory sidequest to provide contrast to the Main Event - check. Now that Zelda had been recovered and everyone was successfully out of the tunnels and back above ground, they could get back to the white-knuckle excitement that was scouring Phaldan Island in its entirety. Alex was stationed atop Enigma as before, browsing the map to remind himself of the route. Still the same as before.

"Yeah. We just keep heading north." He said, eyeing the mountains in the distance. Ew, cold weather.

If it helps, you probably won't have to worry about getting trapped in an underground hot spring this time. Guru offered, which prompted a pointed look from Alex. What? I'm actually tall enough to cover you up properly this time.

Anyway. Onward, to the ice flats!

The sparse shrubbery slowly gave way into the damp wetlands that seemed to fit the rest of the personality for this region... Unfortunately the Oddii seemed to be nowhere to be seen, probably slipping back away after enjoying a nice ride, there wasn't even the scent of their sweet scent left to follow them.

Then again, it wasn't like it was going to be a long term trip for them either way was it?

Left long behind them was the tunnels that the Diglett had delved into, and the entire marshlands now nearly crossed. How much further would their trip last? They had their destination all laid out, and nothing short of Arceus itself would seemingly dissuade their passage for too much longer.

Raikou's ears slicked back moodily when he realized that the other Pokemon were gone, and trotted along with his head down, blades of grass brushing against his chin.

"Shame we lost those other Pokemon we were with. Raider really seemed to like having the herd," she sighed as they floated away from the shrubs and into the wetlands. The grass stuck up out of the ground, which was steadily overtaken by water. It was some kind of wetland marsh sort of thing, with grass and reeds poking up, though Raider sunk down in the water halfway up his legs.

The big cat seemed to get over the loss of their companions, though, and jumped up to splash back down in the water, and lope along as best he could. He almost wished it was deeper so he could swim properly, or shallower so he could run better. But, well, this was fun. The cloud cape on his back sparked and fizzled from the water, shooting sparks into the air.

"He's really zappy," Cody pointed out, watching the cat down below. The pair of Metagross floated well above the surface of the water, with their trainers and the boy sitting on their backs.

"Yeah. Comes with being who he is, really,"

The boy watched Raikou for a few more seconds, "I don't think he could beat Mr. Miju though," he hugged his plushie.

Steely wanted to keel over laughing, but managed to keep her mouth shut and her expression straight. Silly children.

So the Metagross Cavalry and Raider ventured a bit farther north, and the ground underfoot became lightly flooded once more. No sign of the Oddish, or of the narcotic scent from before. That left Alex to hover serenely above the marsh on Enigma and admire the view of nature and stuff. And the Raikou happily frolicking about in the water.

"Yeah, and Guru seemed to appreciate the Sweet Scent." Alex said with a smirk. The psychic in question raised an eyebrow.

...I have no idea what you're talking about. He huffed.

"Really?" Alex challenged. "You were so baked you were about to form a conga line."

Lapduck.

"Living mirror, dude."

Touché.

That friendly ribbing out of the way, they got on with travelling, with Cody saying adorable childish things and playing with Mr. Miju and suchlike.

The wetlands squelched and squished as Raikou walked through it, the trainers riding safely above their little hover platforms... The pokemon by now used to the feeling of human butts resting atop of its head. Atleast human butts were squishy, so it wasn't uncomfortable in the least.

Suddenly something caught ahold of Raikous foot, causing the usually cool and charming electric cat to stumble forward and land down in the mud... Giving it quite an unkempt and less than cool appearance.

Immediately several things lunged out from the marsh, jumping up and grabbing for the Metagross, seeking to tug and jerk on them, to topple them over and the trainers atop of them as several objects began to rise out of the swamps....

Wait... Doesn't this scene seem a bit familiar?

...a leetle, yeah. But, that's alright.

Raider did a startled yowl, but managed to have mind enough to close his mouth before he faceplanted into the mud and water. The big cat hissed in his throat and drew himself up, turning his attention back to the grass types. His startled noise got Steely's attention, and she and Cody leaned over to look down at the water below. And then she saw the tentacles. Vines. Whatever.

"Oh for the love of- Not this again,"

"Again?"

"Yeah, for some reason the carnivines really want to eat Enigma and Ozma, or something. Either way," she decided to let some of her other Pokemon get some experience for now, and tossed Hurricane out into the fray, "Raider, steer clear for now and let the others take care of it. You'll fry everything in the marshes if you try,"

If everything else is like these two, then they deserve it, he hissed, shaking off the mud and water and trying to groom the mud from his fur.

Hurricane hit the water with a big splash, and used the cover of it to dart after the bigger carnivine. He leapt straight up, dancing and spinning in the air, clearing his fur of water until his legs ignited with fire, and he plunged down for the higher leveled carnivine, leaving one of Alex's Pokemon to take care of the other two. Not like he hadn't done so much at one point anyways...

Alex looked up when he heard the splash ahead of him. When he saw the familiar tendrils snaking up out of the water, he sighed to himself.

"Riiight..." He said, unclipping a pokéball from his belt. "I reckon Yin's up again." And with that, he released Yin into the fray.

The Ninjask materialised somewhere above the impending battle. He glanced down, saw the Carnivine looming ominously, and clacked his pincers together in eager anticipation. The last time he'd faced critters like this, he'd ended up punching a hole straight through one of them. And a couple of these Carnivine didn't look as strong as that one had been.

"Swords Dance first, Yin." Alex called out, again with the unspoken instruction to Protect first. The nippy bug duly obliged, using insane reflexes to erect a nigh-impenetrable barrier around himself to buy some time. He'd only need a few seconds, which were spent throwing a private rave party for himself, crunking to a massive internal beat while he sharpened his pincers for the next moves.

Once that was done, he'd strike. X-Scissors would be the strongest attack, especially when launched by a hypersonic sentient bullet-sword. Even if one of the plants tried to swallow him, they would get the mother of all indigestion problems.

.2 This... this is a modding hiatus. This is just a hallucination. >.>

Seeing the sudden threat of the Lucario, the more experienced of the Carnivines snarled at the bipedal dog and immediately turned his attention to it. He didn't seem to enjoy interruptions, for some crazy reason. He didn't look too threatening, even with his angry face on. He still had the same goofy grin his species usually had, except his eyes were stuck in a frown now. The end result was goofy, to say the least. But you're not here to hear the mod's opinions on the threatening appearance of plant pokemon, so on we go. Yin was, of course, quietly boosting in the background.

While Hurricane was boosting his energy, the Carnivine readied his vine, throwing it back a little... before sending it flying at Hurricane with great force. Ah, power whip in action. Such a splendid move it was. However, it wasn't the most accurate of moves. This was why, when the whip was sent at Hurricane, it missed by a few inches. It was a close call, but the dice gods were just not in the plant's favour that day. He was quite shocked by this, actually, not understanding that he just failed at doing something. Not that he had a long time to be upset, mind you, as Hurricane quickly delivered a fiery kick, sending the Carnivine flying back, hitting the ground with a thud. The score was 1 - 0 for the trainers.

The female Carnivines were just a tad upset at this development, and shared a short glance, before nodding at each other. They both decided to do what their instincts told them and... bit down on Hurricane's arms. The girls refused to let go, determined to avenge their fallen comrade. This barely even did anything, but it was bound to be very annoying. That was a suitable revenge... right? Well, it was a revenge, at least. Sort of. Hurricane must be very delicious. Their anger made them ignore the Ninjask that was, you know... right there. Just a little bit away. The doggy must be more interesting than the bug.

This proved to be their undoing when Yin slashed at them with his claws. Normally it would already hurt, but with the preparation, the two Carnivine fell to the ground. Leaving a nice trail of drool on Hurricane's arms, of course. Yuk. Well, with that out of the way, there were three unconscious plants and a free path. Carry on, brave heroes, as a tv show would say!

...ew, Hurricane looked at his sticky arms, his nose wrinkled up practically into his face as he tried to shake it off. Luckily for him, though, they were standing in the middle of a clean-ish bog. Raider was already splashing the mud off from his earlier faceplant, and Hurricane followed his example by plunging his arms in and scrubbing the drool off.

"Woo!" Cody cheered, clapping for the Pokemon. He might have liked ice types better, but it was hard to not be impressed by Yin's speed, and Hurricane's power. The lucario jumped back up when he was done, sitting perched on one of Ozma's arms.

"Feel like being out?"

Yes, just not in the water, he looked down, seeing Raider splashing around, sparks shooting from his back. Steely couldn't argue with that. So that left her four Pokemon out (since Ravage was still flapping around up above), and them moving on again.

Floating over the water, with Raijin splashing around below. Fuuuun trip man.

"Whatcha think's up with all the carnivines trying to eat us, anyways?"

...aside from the obvious tentacle monster joke?

(0.2 :gexp . Yin levels to 33.)

It appears that the Carnivine might not be as smart as you've given them credit for. Guru said, looking on the battle scene with faint disappointment. They're ignoring Yin entirely.

"I'm not surprised," Alex replied. "They've seen Hurc as the bigger threat, and Yin hasn't done anything to them yet. By the time they realise he's fighting as well -"

*fwoosh*

*thunk*

*splash*

"...Something like that. Well done Yin." The Ninjask buzzed in triumph, and high-fived Hurc to celebrate, before zipping back to a scouting position somewhere above the group. This left the Metagross Cavalry and Entourage free to carry on as before, over the puddle-infested landscape towards Pontarctica.

Alex smirked at Steely's question. "I guess I'd try to eat everything in sight too, if my mouth was larger than the rest of my body."

Considering you once ate an eleven pound monster burger, that thought is slightly scary.

That is... kind of scary.

Moving on, giant Venus Fly Traps were the least of your worries as your crossed the landmark in search of Raider's 'sister' as he liked to call the blue wolf-cat-dog thing...y. The Metagross Cavalry (Entourage free) carried on without a hitch. Through the puddles they went with the fond Raider and the not so fond Hurc, though I think they could all agree that rain puddles were so much better than Black abyss Swamp, any day (as well as the pokemon).

Steely, Alex, Cody, et al moved on from the puddlelands and into the Great Bay. Being a very large inland body of water, it spread across the landmark... though, I wouldn't drink the water if I were you. It isn't the cleanest of waters you'll ever see, but at least it was non-toxic and didn't smell of rotten eggs. That is always a plus when it comes to water conservation. Like it isn't a red flag to say, if the water smells like sulphur, don't drink it because it will kill you. Hey, Cody hasn't whined for a while, "Steeeeeeeeeeely, I'm thirsty." Okay, maybe that really wasn't whining but he is a little kid. He will say these things.

Getting closer and closer to the end of the side quest, woo. Anyways, while Cody was whining, the group encountered a strange conglomeration sitting in the waters below. They were shaking down an Gloom that was giving off Sweet Scent.

"Steeeeeeeeeeely, I'm thirsty."

Said Steely blinked once, twice, and then looked around. There was water everywhere, though none of it would be good for drinking. Hurricane chuckled at her train of thought, Water, water, everywhere, but not a drop to drink,

"Good thing trainers are prepared, then," she laughed, reaching into her pocket and pulling out a bottle of water for the little tyke. He unscrewed the cap and nearly drank half of it in one gulp.

"You know, I think I'd be the same way," she looked over at Alex, still envious of the fact that he could eat a cow and not gain a pound, when she was miss chubby pants over here. >: "But still, I don't think Ozzy and Enigma look very tasty,"

Rock candy.

"I guess," she sighed, watching Cody pretend to give Mr. Miju a drink.

Down below, Raijin's nose twitched at the familiar smell, and he raced towards the source. He pulled his lips back over his teeth and snarled when he saw the four river rats giving the gloom a hard time,and started to spark with more electricity. He let loose a roar that made Steely nearly fall off of Ozma, and shockwaved a bolt of electricity out from his body, aiming at all the water types, trying to hit all four of them in one sweep. Steely leaned over to see what in the world he was up to.

"Oh hey, another gloom," she jerked back when Raijin released another powerful shockwave, if the first one didn't down them all. "...he has too much pent up energy, I think. Wonder if I should start taking him for walks or something,"

...yeah, good luck with that.

And then all the puddles coalesced into one giant body of water.

"This must be the Great Bay, then." Alex said, checking his map. The easiest thing to do would be to skirt the edge of the bay, breaking off once they reached the northern reaches to stop in at Ignis Fatties. Then a bit of zigzagging, and then some ice. But that was for later.

Of course, Alex was very fond of Steely and her chubby pants, so there was no need for envy there.

Suddenly, an interruption!

Something smells good over that way. Guru said, feeling for a mental signature. Gloom, and a bunch of Buizel.

Alex had just started to come up with a battle plan for the Buizel when Raikou charged in, no pun intended. A quick session of mental arithmetic and power estimation told him that his assistance would not be required, so he was happy to hang back and let the thunderkitty deal with it. On the off-chance that something unforeseen did happen, then they both had other pokémon that could battle. Like Yin, for instance, who hovered at a safe distance, far away from all that nasty electricity flying about.

KRRRRACK--A--ZOW!!!!

The loud thundercrack seemed to shake the vegetation around them as Raikou let out a full discharge of it's stored energy... All that electricity that was building up, suddenly released like a judgement bolt from god.

The poor Buizels didn't stand a chance as they were flashfried in an instant. They barely even got a chance to see the Raikou before they were hit with the unbelievable bolt of electricity.

Unfortunately, Raijin gave up alot of accuracy for that power... And once the Buizels fell around, the poor Gloom was laying down in a puddle too, twitching and drooling, a little crispy and the smell of its sweet scent now smelling like burnt charcoal... But it was still alive and conscious atleast. Just now, its fried brain was beginning to wonder why it was tasting the color purple.

...oops.

Steely knew what had happened, but was trying to keep Cody's attention away from it. He didn't need to see the fried weasels and gloom. "I'll say,"

Sorry, the big cat walked over to the gloom, poking at it with his paw. Ozma let her know that the plant was still alive, and she handed down a ball to the metagross, who tossed it at the gloom. May as well catch the thing and get it healed up at portartica. And if one ball didn't work, then well... She had more.

They moved on, away from the carnage once that was all done with. Raikou didn't seem that bothered by what had happened, back to splashing around in the water as they moved around the bay and to the next area.

"...sometimes I wonder if he knows his own strength," she looked over at Alex, looking away from Raider down on the ground.



Ultra Ball on the gloom until it's caught, then moving on.

Alex only heard the apologetic grumble from Raider, but he could figure out the general meaning of it from the scene of inadvertant carnage. "Let me guess, oops?"

Guru nodded, the tip of his moustache flicking upwards.

Oops is right. Classic overkill right there. The psychic then offered the thunderkitty some useful advice. If they're weak water pokémon, you should tone down the power of your attacks a bit so that you don't instantly fry them. Trust me, I know all about it. Guru was well practised in the art of restraint - his run-ins with weaker fighting and poison types had taught him exactly how much force to use to overpower an opponent without causing permanent damage. It was a skill that Raider would learn in time.

Alex patiently waited while Steely attempted to catch the injured Gloom, then once she was ready, the group continued north, hovering quietly on their magnificent Metagross mounts.

"I'm sure he'll figure it out. He's probably not used to the idea of restraint or something."

Gloom nearly toppled over when Raider went to poke his paw at it. It was still rather dazed by the looks of it, though it didn't seemed at all frightened by the sabre cat. What a surprise. The injured Gloom looked up and over when the Raikou went back to splashing his way into puddles, which was really just a bay at this point. Just one giant puddle that the thunder cat had charged electrically. I wonder if anything else died when Raider set a discharge into the water... probably. Then, Steely tossed the Ultraball at the pokemon without much warning. The Gloom was absorbed into the pokeball and started to shake when it plopped into the water, causing a bit of a ripple as it wobbled about.

As soon as it was done that, the ball dinged and the Gloom went to Steely's PC. Wonderful. I guess the Gloom decided it was better of shocked than being mauled by Buizel. I don't really think it likes Raider that much though, but it doesn't really matter, does it? It probably won't see Raider very soon anyways. All is good. Captured: Gloom - Female - Level 45, Anger 2

Moving on.

Steely, Alex and Cody travelled over the Great -- vast -- Bay and saw nothing. The bay was obviously bigger than anyone could have thought as the crew arrived in the middle of it after a bit of a journey to see a few Muk group below them trying to get up and attach themselves to the Metagross legs. I don't really think that Enigma or Ozma appreciated it very much, but it was Muk love, everyone loves Muk love and if they didn't? Well Sludge Bombs away, I suppose.

Ok did they have an 'eat me' sign posted on their undersides or something? Steely made a mental note to check when this was over with. But first, muk.

I do not appreciate these shenanigans. the metagross said with a monotone finality that could only come from being named after one of the hardest optional bosses I have ever tried to beat in my whole life. Still haven't beaten him yet, but anyways. Rambling. The psychic tank's eyes started to glow, and Steely could have sworn that she saw the dark Pokemon's armor swirl with color for a brief instant. But the Pokemon loosed a psychic blast at one of them that was too close to him, and again if it didn't melt the critter the first time.

"Raijin!" Steely called out to the cat, snapping his attention back to them. Raikou had been grumbling about Guru actually having the nerve to tell him what to do, even if it was sound advice. He'd show that spoony thing what for... if he was allowed to anyways. He didn't think that Steely would have appreciated that. Besides, there was more important things to think about.

The big feline snapped around, seeing the muk and assuming them to be targets. Not too big of a leap there, but he didn't want to fry these ones... luckily, he had other powers. His eyes started to glow too as he pulled his lips back to reveal his teeth in a snarl. He might not have had the same powers that Ozma and Guru had, but he had something just as good, as far as he was concerned.

"Hold on tight, Cody," she whispered to the boy, taking a good grip on him... just in case the muk managed to offbalance the metagross or something. She didn't want to drop him or anything. Hurricane too stayed on alert, tense and balanced on the point of Ozma's leg.

Actually, Metagross have huge chomping jaws of death on their undersides, so it's really more of an "I eat you" sign. Perhaps all these wild pokémon secretly wanted to become snacks.

Like these Muk, for instance. Alex saw the amorphous blobs of purple goo attempt to attach themselves to Enigma, remembered that they were highly toxic, and responded by drawing his legs up to a more concealed position. It wouldn't do to get poisonous slime on his skin, not out here.

Enigma, however, had no such worries. Being fully tricked-out in a handy suit of armour, the Metagross simply didn't care about poison. The Muk could spit Sludge Bombs at him all day and he'd just smile and keep on coming. Or perhaps he could just charge in with a psychic attack of choice and let the Muk worry about them instead. Alex just so happened to agree with him.

I don't think your Psychic will be quite strong enough. Go for Zen Headbutt instead.

Understood. The Metagross rose slightly in preparation, then slammed down with a surge of telekinetic energy right where one of the Muk was. At least Guru had had the foresight to psychically lift himself and Alex out of harm's way. The weight would probably hold long enough for Enigma to finish up, but even if it didn't, Guru didn't think that his trainer would care too much about being lowered into the water. It looked non-toxic enough.

Mmm, the taste of overkill in the morning, well afternoon but whatever.

Maybe there was an 'eat me' sign on the bottoms of the floating ones, but that was not of any concern for the moment, it was the Muk. They continued latch themselves upon the two blue creatures before they started to fight back with the thunder cat in tow. It wouldn't be long before they would be history, no not long at all. This was especially apparent since Ozma and Enigma didn't take very kindly to the clingy blobs of poisonous residue.

Ozma and Raider quickly mind raped the first two Muk with ease. There was no frying pokemon this this, well unless you meant mentally fried. Then, well, that couldn't be helped. It was what came with the psychic abilities and what not. It really could have been worse, the Muk could have had he opportunity to attack. Wondrous. Enigma was up next with his head butting skills, though it was beyond me as to how one could head butt a Muk, he really didn't have a 'form' per se. But, somehow, Enigma pulled it off, head butting the foul beast back into the waters where they just released a foul odor.

Ozma gains 0.9 :exp . Raider gains 0.6 :exp . Enigma gains 1.0 :exp . Woo.

Might want to scuttle away now.

Whatever the case may be... well, didn't matter anymore, either way.

"Phew," Steely sighed, the poisoned blobs easily taken care of, leaving them still hovering around the big body of water. But it was starting to stink, so... yeah, definitely time to get out of here.

There is no such sign on either of us, by the way, Ozma said suddenly, making sure to fling any residue from the Muk off of his steel frame. Even if it didn't effect him at all, he still didn't want to have it on his armor. Steely laughed a little, having partially forgotten about thinking that, "You never know."

They continued along the edge of the Bay, Raider running along the edge below them, not trying very hard and therefore able to run forever. Steely noticed that he never seemed to get tired, at least not during their adventures so far. She wondered if trying to catch one of his 'siblings' would make him exert enough of his seemingly endless energy supply. She sighed, again wondering if she was good enough to capture the other two, and looking out over the water. The marshy area made her think of dragonflies, even though they hadn't seen any. Hm. She kind of wished that they could find one... but there was no time to search. Time was of the essence, she knew, so there was no time for fun now, unfortunately. Only the mindless searching against the clock.

Raider looked up at her, slowing down to pad along under and stare at Ozma's underside. No sign, he noticed, but he also didn't like how down she had been getting lately. Not much he could do now, though. Part of it was that she was worried about Cody, which was understandable. Perhaps once they reached Pontartica she'd start feeling better.

Doubtful, but hey. We can dream, right?

The battle wasn't even close, as it turned out. It was a veritable drive-by mindraping, it was. Still, the Muk would recover in time, so Alex didn't dwell on it too much. Merely another battle successfully navigated. Guru set him down on Enigma's back once the Metagross had finished fighting, and then everyone was ready to continue. A quick dip of his lower half into the puddle washed off the Muk residue easily enough, so no more risk of contamination. Hooray.

In case you were curious, our mouths are on our undersides. They're just hard to see unless we open them. Enigma added, regaining altitude to hover next to Ozma. It sort of explained why pokémon kept grabbing at them - most of the wild critters here had probably never seen a Metagross before, and weren't aware of the dangers they posed. The metal beast saw Raikou peering up at them, and briefly opened his jaws wide to satisfy the cat's curiosity.

Meanwhile, Alex looked over at Steely when he heard her sigh, and frowned. She seemed down, and that was never a good thing. Guru filled him in on what she'd been subconsciously projecting. It wasn't an invasion of privacy if he didn't have to make an effort to read her mind. That was his justification, and he was going to stick to it.

She thinks she's not good enough to capture Suicune and Entei. The psychic said privately to Alex, moustache twitching slightly. Silly, I know. What with Raikou being right there and everything. Clearly she needed cheering up, so Alex drifted over and reached out his arm to give her a reassuring squeeze, which also caused Cody to giggle as children do.

I bet I know another way you could cheer her up. Guru quipped, earning him a pointed look. Hey, you're the one thinking it. Nothing to do with me.

Battle done, awesome. After a little show and tell and some cleaning, they were off again -- just floating. Over the Great Bay the went, until the watter shrivelled up again into puddles again. The water fun just wouldn't end.

Welcome to Ignis Fatties... Wait... Okay, seriously, who named this place? It has nothing to do with... nevermind. Ignis Fatties was an interesting place, a place for illusions in the dark, things unseen and pretty lights. It was an awesome place to go to at night, kind of romantic, if you were looking for that kind of thing -- then again Tromante was probably a better place to get all romantic and cheer someone up. Ick.

Anyways, there weren't many things to see in the Ignis Fatties. Nothing remotely interesting... at all. Well, okay, there were things to see like pokemon scurrying about to get out of the way of the large thunder cats and metal tanks, but nothing else. Birds flew over head, littles ones scuttled underneath and other pokemon just stood around watching the group pass on through. Nothing really wanted to attack, well aside from some crazy Buneary. They were rabbits and as you know, rabbits are like rabbits. I don't really know what to else to put here... other than the fact that they attached themselves to Raider. Everyone loves thunder cat, but I don't know if everyone loves to try and mate with thunder cat. Well, Raider is an attractive sabre tooth tiger, so I suppose it could be said that a lot of things wanted to mate with the large cat. This time, it just happened to be Buneary.

I don't want to see bunnies trying to get it on with a Raikou. D:

...oh boy. So much irony.

But other things first. The Great Bay faded away under them, replaced by a smaller body of water. The air had a strange quality to it, and Steely felt... something strange. It was the same kind of feeling that she felt in Corporcana, Loch Neeru, and at the stump in Halcyon.

When Cody started giggling, she looked sideways at Alex with a little smirk, "Thanks," she whispered while Cody was distracted looking at the wavering air, and in a moment of a random idea popping into her head she leaned over and quickly kissed him on the cheek.

"Well, let's see how much further it is!" she said suddenly, pulling out her poketech to take a look. She partially wanted to see where they were... and wanted to see something else. The weird resonating feeling she was getting from this place was bothering her, and she could remember snatches of a poem that she had read a few times but never given much thought...

(Here it is,) she thought, quickly reading through one of the poems. Wettest marsh? Check. Pool of steam? Looked about right. Ghost? Didn't see one, but there was something weird here. As she finished reading the poem, her mind automatically filled in the last word that was missing.

(I am not kissing some critter like that cat from Corporcana.)

And then Lady Fate decided to throw something hilarious at them!

Raider slammed to a stop, fur sticking up as the bunnies clung to him. He whirred with confusion when he realized that they weren't hurting him. They were doing... something, but they weren't hurting him.

What? he hissed, trying to shake them off, Steely, what do they want?

...oh my goodness.

Leaning to the side to see around her platform pokemon, Steely looked down at Raider, who was helplessly looking at her, then over at Hurricane, who had his paws over his ears and was rocking back and fourth a little bit. Hurc only did that when certain... emotions were in the air. Steely looked at Alex for a brief second, then back down at the bunnies.

"...er,"

So, she was going to have to give the Birds and the Bees conversation... to her Legendary. Though, Cody chose that second to remind Steely that he was there by leaning forward to see what was going on. Ok so... she had to have said lecture... and try to think it at him. The thundercat had no problem being in her head... maybe the link worked both ways?

Oh goodness, this'll be good.

[So it's like... they're female buneary. Being wild Pokemon, they want to make more bunnies, so-] she came to a full mental stop when she realized one crucial detail here. Even though she considered Raikou male, from the tone of his mental voice... he was technically genderless, [Well, they want to find a male to mate with and... make more babies. Which, it's weird, I don't know why they're mobbing you,]

What's that supposed to mean?

She winced at the sharpness of his voice, [You... Raijin, you're not technically male. You don't actually have a gender. Like... you don't have the parts that normal Pokemon have,]

And not only was Steely struggling to explain, all this was going on over those weird mental brainwaves. So she was sitting completely silently, with this bizarre look on her face and gesturing... something in the air. Cody was sitting very still and wondering if she was mental. No doubt Guru is laughing his ass off by now.

...why not?

"Because Arceus has a sick sense of humor?" she mumbled aloud, despite herself.

Raider blinked twice, and turned his attention back to the rabbits, trying to shake them off by shaking like a dog and running around in circles, Go away, I can't help you make bunnies! he hissed, flailing around.

Steely just kind of facepalmed with both hands and sighed.

Another hour, another landmark. The ground here wasn't quite as flooded as back in the bay, but it certainly looked damp and spongy. The change of scenery was a good thing, though. It was a sign of definite progress.

Alex returned Steely's smile, glad that she'd decided to focus on happier things. Like her pokétech, apparently. He leaned over to check the map she was looking at, then at the poem she'd brought up. One of the Holy Mechanism poems, eh? Looked like the Fog Clear one.

"Think this is the place it's talking about?" He asked, noting the similarities between the Ignis Fatties and the location described in the poem. It didn't help that the last word was missing from it, but given that all the other ones rhymed, it was fairly obvious that it had to rhyme with "miss". Unfortunately, Alex's many long hours of word gaming caused him to come up with multiple possible answers to the riddle, most of them quite unexpected.

"Words that rhyme with miss... hmm... okay, there's bliss, bris, Chris, diss..."

I hardly think that a guardian of a sacred Holy Mechanism would want to be told a yo mamma joke. Guru piped up. Let's see. How about, "yo momma's so fat that the recursive function computing her mass caused a stack overflow"?

"Hiss, kiss, kris, miss, piss..."

I sincerely hope that that's not the answer.

"Swiss?"

As in the cheese?

"No reason a ghost wouldn't like cheese."

I think we all know what the likely answer is. Guru said. After all, guardians need love too.

Speaking of which, Raikou was being molested by bunnies. When did they show up? Judging by the way Steely was concentrating on the thunderkitty, Alex guessed that she was trying to explain their motives to him. And judging by the frantic activity of Guru's moustache, it wasn't going so well.

Could be that Arceus only ever intended there to be one of you. If he'd just created matching pairs and said "go forth and multiply" or something, then legendary species would outcompete all other species, and we'd be eyeballs-deep in demigods right about now. The psychic was trying ever so hard to resist beaming a mental image of Buneary's mating habits into Raikou's head, he really was. For now, he was succeeding.

The bountiful buneary brood bounced and buffered briskly against the saber kitty. Clinging to various part of him as he dashed and ran and kicked... Still the bunearys clenched and made soft buneary sounds as the jerking and running only rubbed more against them, little pink hearts popping up around in the air, threatening to drown the legendary creature of thunder in love (or lust).

The fuzzy bunny bodies and ears would cling to the muscular legs, two of them. One hopped onto his back and rubbed her face up annd down the spine, while the other glomped ontop of his face with a cheerful cry of exhuberation!

At this point it wasn't clear if they really understood Raijins opposition, or if they didn't care. The fact was, love was in the air... It was like... Pheremones. Yeah, that's the ticket. The smell of the beast, it filled the air and drove all the bunny ladies wild in this region.

A Raikou... It had to be a Raikou. He thought. Why couldn't it have been a jigglypuff? He could have handled a jigglypuff... But no, it had to be Death Incarnate. Oh well... Noone ever said fighting for the love of ladies was ever easy.

Suddenly, out of nowhere a male Lopunny leapt forward, and pointed to Raijin accusingly. " Alright! You think you're so Alpha Male! Well, I'm not going to stand for it! " He said in Lopunny language... He had tried so hard to impress the local ladies, getting buff, stealing human clothes, acting charming. And all Raikou did was just show up to earn their woo.

Well, this Lopunny was ready to earn the woo back.

"Cheese?"

That snapped her out of her disturbing thoughts! Thank goodness. But she would have been snapped out of it either way, since she heard Raider yowl with sexual frustration down below. Leaning over to look down, she sighed when she saw the situation, "It can never be simple, can it?"

Nope!

By now, the thundercat was pissed, and this new wild pokemon just adding to the mess only made it worse. He started to crackle all over with electricity, hoping they would get the point and get away before any of them got hurt.

I don't care about any of you, now get off! he bellowed, snapping his fangs at the bunnies to chase them away from his body. He just wanted to get out of here, and was starting to get claustrophobic by all the rabbits. And he didn't care to fight the male. Raider already knew he was stronger, and this was only a waste of time.

A new sound started deep within his chest, growing in volume until a huge roar ripped out of his jaws, shaking the air and even making Cody and Steely wince and cover their ears. It was the kind of roar that Raijin rarely used, since it was the kind that repeled everything away from them. Hopefully it would do the same thing here, otherwise... things would get messy. For the bunny, anyways.

But if things were simple, they wouldn't be nearly as funny. Guru quipped, but broadcasting only to the two trainers. He had the sneaking suspicion that Raikou would not react well if he overheard. And huge fangmarks in the neck were so passé.

Alex was about to say something when the new pokémon burst onto the scene. The Lopunny looked suspiciously buff and muscular, almost like a bodybuilder or something. He stared at it quizzcally for a few seconds, then shrugged. It was strange, sure, but he'd seen worse on his travels. Heck, he'd seen stranger since leaving Deepwood.

"You got this?" He asked, almost redundantly. Raikou could handle pretty much any wild pokémon on his own, so Alex was content to hang back again, with the intent of sending in reinforcements only if needed.

He's going to Roar. You might want to cover your ears. Guru helpfully informed. So the trainer hunkered down, and dd just that. Guru simply raised his spoons to the sides of his head, and got himself into the mindset to ride it out. He could cope with a few seconds of noise when the occasion called for it.

Many bunny is manly. o_O

Okay, that aside. Mod time.

Many Bunny need fear no silly kitty, not when there are buxom babes in need of loving in the area. Oh no. Manly Bunny must show off his manliness, take on the monster, and woo the luscious ladies to his side. Manly Bunny has all the manliness that the tiger lacks to make those babies bounce...

*ahem*

Um. Right.

Anyhow. Manly Bunny is not in the slightest put off by the bellowing, but the lovely ladies clinging all over Raikou...well. They are not nearly so manly, being delicious damsels in sexual distress. All of a sudden, Raikou is no longer a object of desire...

However, now, he's more equated into a dragon.

With simultaneous shrieks of maidenly terror, naturally designed to arouse every protective manly instinct in whatever may be in the area, they dropped off Raikou like rats bailing the Titanic, and shoot over to cling to Manly Bunny, who stands tall, threateningly pointing towards Raijin, in a pose designed to show off all his manliness in its full glory. "Fear not, my lovelies, I shall now...whoop!"

Somehow simultaneously juggling all the ladies at once, Manly Bunny leaps straigh into the air, as Raijin took the pointing as an indicator that he was going to attack, and let out a warning crackle of electricity into the swamp. This likely would have murdered many a fish in the area, but the roar chased all them out, too.

Now the option applies. One can skeddaddle before he gets back to earth and make the next landmark, most likely, leaving Manly Bunny to prove his manliness with his four princesses. After all, with the ladies all to himself at that point, I doubt he'll very much care to go hunting people to the ends of the earth.

Or, we can wait for him to get back to earth and murder all of them with another Discharge. Up to you.

Here is deal. You can wait for Manly Bunny to land and kill him and the ladies with a discharge or whatever. OR! You can move yourselves into the next landmark with your next post. :/ Your choice.

Raikou's ears pinned back against his skull with irritation. At least the females were off of him. His eyes were narrowed as the bunny leapt uuuuup into the air, even flying past Steely and Alex sitting on their metagross.

Steely would have been watching with amazement, but at the moment she was kind of in pain. Whatever maternal instincts she had seemed to have kicked in the second Guru said 'cover your ears', because she ended up with her hands clamped over Cody's hands, which were over his ears. The end result was that Cody had barely heard the roar at all (he'd felt it more then anything else) and that Steely was a tiny bit dazed at the moment.

"Are my ears bleeding? It feels like my ears are bleeding..." Her hands dropped into her lap for a brief second before she gingerly felt her ears to see if they had ruptured.

Time to move on, I think,

"Don't be so loud,"

I like that idea, Raikou grumbled, and turned to trundle off to the next landmark. It wasn't very far, and they left the Ignis Fatties behind them for... more puddles! Awesome!

Well, Raider thought it was anyways. He liked splashing in the puddles. Steely was dazed and confused still but she'd get over it eventually.

Once the intense roaring had died down, and Guru had given the all-clear, Alex uncovered his ears and checked the ground below, only to find no sign of bunnies anywhere.

He jumped. Guru said. Mr. Zappy over there's had enough, so it looks like we're moving off. The psychic's moustache twitched. Oh, you might want to check on Steely. She didn't cover her ears.

Oh dear. Alex drifted over to Steely and intently inspected the side of her head, looking for any sign of residual damage. After a few seconds, he relaxed, and nodded.

"Your ears are fine. You might hear ringing, but that should go in a minute or two." She still looked dazed, so he told Enigma to hover close to Ozma, practially touching. "I'll stay here while you recover. If you get dizzy, try and lean this way, okay?"

While all this was going on, the group drifted into the Puddlelands. Well, the northern section of Puddlelands. From here, it was more or less straight north to Pontarctica. Alex shivered in the gradually cooling air, and retrieved another sweater from his backpack, with a bit of fumbling and help from Guru while he slipped it on. Never hurt to have too many layers on around these parts.

Sure enough a cold wind was blowing through the root filled region, perhaps far cooler than there should have been.. even as they headed northward towards the least hospital icey lands of the north. Where the wind cuts through you like a knife through butter.

As you traveled on however, the source of the sudden gust became apparent as a Jynx was standing in the middle of the root lands, blazing a fierce blizzard left and right, freezing everything in its path.. seemingly carving an icey path down from the north, and to the marshy lands to the south!

Rootlands arrived!

"What?" Steely said, louder then usual since, you know... she can't really hear right now. She blinked a few times, hearing the ringing that Alex had mentioned, and looked around with wide eyes while she waited for it to fade. Yeah ok there was a little bit of dizzy, but- oh hey is it starting to get cold here?

"Snow?"

And indeed, it was getting colder, and the wind was starting to blow. But... they weren't quite there yet, were they?

What is that?

Since the voice was in her head and not through her ears, Steely leaned over to see the Pokemon on the ground, whipping up a storm. Steely blinked, and decided that she didn't feel like messing with that critter at all right now. Also-

"Look look! Snow!" Cody's face lit up, and he pointed towards the north, where they could easily see lots and lots of snow, "We're nearly there, right?"

"What?"

Nearly there, yes, Ozma waved down at Raider, to have him avoid the jynx so they could get the hell out of dodge and to the next city finally. Steely didn't really have anything that could easily maim the thing, so it would be in their best interests to just avoid it. And besides, they had nearly gotten Cody home finally.



Avoiding the jynx and continuing to the next landmark.

"For the record," Alex stated as he shivered slightly, "I am not looking forward to all this ice. It's like I can feel the blizzards already."

Actually, he could feel icy winds. That was rather strange - weren't they still in the marshes? He looked down, and sure enough, the ice storms were artificial. A Jynx was busy conjuring up snow and ice down at ground level. They were an interesting species, certainly, and if he didn't already have a multitude of psychics at his disposal, Alex would have moved in to engage it in battle. As it was, they had Cody to escort back home, and the only pokémon that could easily withstand its attacks were the two Metagross carrying them. It would take too much time to stop.

So they continued on, Metagross floating past at a safe distance. Cody was getting more excited now that he could see the ice fields to the north, and that spurred Alex on. Soon they would hit Pontarctica, and everything would work out nicely.

Steely, Cody, Alex and co avoid the Jynx that cross the boarder between the two areas and pushed on into the next area. It wasn't very far anyways, they could already feel the cold and see the snow and frost that laid out on the marsh area that they were already in. Oh, you guys need warmer clothing, but I'm sure you can get that when you send Cody home safely. Welcome to Glacier Valley, home of the Cold Marsh. The group feel the chill in the air, especially when they started to breath in the cold air, probably causing a sharp pain in their chests. Cody seemed fine though, he was rather cheery and happy to see the snow, not to mention that the Metagross were okay too. They couldn't really feel the cold. Well... at least you'll be able to send him home, and maybe fill out more of Steely's pokedex!
check your egos at the door, it is all about the id now.
