(Steely, if you want to join in on this, feel free, but this is currently my canon thread business going on. Team is Kagami, Phoebus, Selene, Faith, Caligo and Argent. APL, 42.)

There was a very, very large rock sitting on the edge of a pair of forests. Really, some sort of ginormous boulder thing, really, with a flat top, roughly circular in shape. On one side, trees so ancient that it sometimes seemed possible that they predated the dinosaurs. On the other, frosty cold, pine trees, and snow. One side of it was thickly covered in moss, the other, frost. It was sometimes a little confusing as to how this coexisted like it did, but it was how the world worked.

And eevees, for whatever reason, reacted to rocks rather well. This one was no exception. So, on one fine day, there was a huff of displaced air on the mossier side of things as a human with an espeon perched on his shoulders suddenly appeared. He stood there a moment, trying to get his bearings back. Teleporting normally was a little interesting after having gotten used to Bob Ross' magical portals.

"Thanks, Phoebus." Five flashes of red released another sea of the critters to trot off and explore. The umbreon flattened her ears, pouting, at his feet, as the silver furred leafeon immediately leapt to the top of the stone, sniffing reminiscently, recalling meeting the one fellow here ages ago. She wondered if he was still doing well.

Still, the vaporeon that followed after her was more than enough company, and the two proceeded to start chasing each other across the flat surface. "I swear, Faith, Caligo...if I have to deal with any more eggs..." The two contrived to look innocent as their trainer waggled a finger after them.

"I still don't get why I had to go into my ball and he got to stay out..." the umbreon grumbled as she sat there, glowering up at her brother still on the human's shoulders. The flareon, fur the same shimmering silver as the leafeon's, looked mildly disgruntled as he glanced between the two.

"Because I'm the one that can learn how to Teleport, that's why." The espeon stuck his tongue out, looking self-important.

"Hey, peace, guys. We're here for Kagami, not for you to argue all over the place." Ben knelt beside the only eevee in the bunch as she leaned against the fire type's side nervously. "The other side of this rock should be able to help you become a glaceon, like you wanted, little one." He smiled to her, scritching her ears a moment before setting off to walk around the thing. Hopefully it wouldn't take too long.

"Well, you're th'last person I expected t'see up 'ere."

Before Ben could move too far off, a gust of hot air blew past the lot of them. Vulcanus stepped slowly out of the trees nearby, Steely sitting on his back. One hand was buried in his thick mane and the other was holding her head up as she watched her friend and his horde of eevee's. She had an eevee on each shoulder, Manfred and Missile. It was still plenty cold where they were, which would explain why Steely was bundled up in her Raikou coat and scarf, even sporting a pair of gloves with fingers looking like Raikou's paws. She waved when Ben looked over. He likely hadn't noticed her lurking at first because of the disorientating teleportation.

"I can share my space 'eater if you want," she ruffled Vulcan's fluff of head hair, which the legendary didn't even react to. Vulcan had unwound quite a bit over time, and while he wasn't exactly nice... he still let Steely ride him now. And he didn't radiate malice anymore. The Entei padded over and stopped near them, tilting his head at them. Manfred and Missile jumped down and the perma-eevee pounced on Selene. "Looks like you're up 'ere for the same reasons I am," she looked at Kagami.

Steely had been doing and feeling a lot better lately, which would explain why Zelda would even let the woman out of the house. Now that Ben was paying attention, he would likely notice the other aura in the trees that hadn't come out yet, and recognize it as Bushido the scyther. He also felt another extremely powerful aura, too far off to know who it was, but clearly a legendary.

Oh, and then there was Daniel. He poked his head up from behind Steely and waved. A likely stipulation of Zelda letting her out here was "YOU HAD BETTER KEEP WARM", which would explain the two fire types.



Technically teleporting in with Bec.

Definitely missed it because of the teleporting and all. Yes. It works. Ben turned in Steely's direction in surprise as she spoke up. Still, as the temperatures were getting rather frigid, he wasn't about to argue with getting closer to the Entei. Argent was useful and fluffy and warm, but not all that huge, after all. The fire eeveelution stuck himself to Ben's ankles, staring up at the legendary fire type with a slightly nervous expression.

Selene let out a howl of outrage as she was suddenly tackled, and Phoebus perked up a little more as he watched her flail around with the large eevee. "Hey, no tackling without fair warning! No fair, gerrof!" She flailed her paws at the brown fuzzball as Ben chuckled.

Kagami kept near the rock as Ben waved a hand, bowing his head respectfully to Vulcanus as he idly tried to get a better feel for the unknown legendary out there and who it might be. "Didn't really expect to see anyone out here myself. But...probably am out here for a similar reason, yeah." He tilted his head slightly. "I'm not going to get anyone screaming at me for not telling you to go home now later, am I?"

He grinned up at her as he said it, to show that he wasn't planning on doing it even if he was supposed to, since he was pretty sure that some getting out of the house really would be good for her anyhow. Faith and Caligo chased each other happily across the top of the rock as Ben considered the sulking scyther thoughtfully a moment, then shrugged to himself.

"Only one I'm missing at this point, really, is glaceon, and Kagami likes the sound of it, so yeah. Here we are. You after another one, or going for the greener side?" The legends probably explained why it was so quiet, though. Kagami minced her way cautiously past Missile I think he's the perma-vee, right? and Selene's messy pile of not really war toward the rock, cautiously edging around the side of it, glancing toward the others from time to time as she crept closer.

Missile (yes, that's the permavee) giggled and hopped away, wagging his tail and barking. He dropped into a playing pose and waited for Selene to come at him, so they could wrestle.

Vulcan looked a little bored while the two humans talked, looking around until eventually his eyes found Argent. He quirked a furry brow under his red forehead plate at the nervousness, but then smirked proudly to himself. His ego let him be proud with the fact that he even made other fire types nervous. Because, yeah, the ego hadn't changed at all.

"Haha! No, no. I have my mother's permission t'be out 'ere. Stipulation being that I bring this guy here," she paused and noticed the way Ben had kind of glanced around behind her after he'd bowed to Vulcan (which the legendarly surprisingly returned). "Helix is out there somewhere, if that's who you're feelin'. I think she's tryin' t'spook something towards us, so Manfred can train."

Said eevee had been shyly sitting by Vulcan's paws, watching quietly. He noticed Kagami edging towards the rock and cautiously padded to follow her. Manfred jumped up onto the rock, digging his paws into the moss and feeling the power flowing vaguely through him. Now he just had to level, and then he'd change? That was how Steely had explained it, but the eevee was still pretty new to the world.

"Yeah, Manfred there is going t'be a leafeon. May as well complete my own set, huh?" she chuckled.

"Yeah, a complete set is probably the way to go." Ben chuckled as he replied to the comment, relaxing a bit more as he kept near at hand to the legendary fire type. The slightly worshipful expression behind the nervousness certainly would cater well to Vulcanus' ego, from Argent, as the flareon wrapped himself around Ben's feet.

He might as well prove he could be a good footwarmer, with all that fluffy fur he had, after all.

Selene rolled to her feet once Missile was off, huffing for a moment. "Oooh, it is so ON!" she barked after a moment, shaking herself once before pouncing, to make an impromptu game of pounce-tag start on. "Banzai!"

Kagami looked up as Manfred bounded to the top of the rock, shuffling her own paws a little uncertainly, trying to decide if she should join him. Ben shook his head at the fuzzballs everywhere as he turned his attention back to the forest. "And yeah, that's probably what I was wondering about out th..." he trailed off a moment later, and tilted his head.

Hooves suddenly beat a frantic tattoo against the ground as a terrified brown creature suddenly blasted past Bushido and into the open around the rock. Kagami flattened herself beside the rock with a startled squeak as the deerling sprang wildly to the top of the rock, charging blindly across it, all set to plow right through Manfred if he didn't do something to catch the thing's attention.

"Well. I think Helix successfully scared something up..."

Missile zipped away from Selene with a burst of quick speed and keen detection skills, like all of the eevee horde had. Made watching them interesting, at any rate. He slowed down for a second to let the umbreon try again, his tail wagging madly.

Steely tilted her head when Ben paused, and looked over when the deer burst through the trees and ran up the rock. Under her, Vulcanus growled shortly, but she put both of her hands in his mane and squeezed. Not hurting, just as a warning for him to keep his temper.

Missile looked up at the deer when it appeared, and broke away from Selene. "Sorry!" he yipped, following the deer.

Manfred's eyes widened at the deer charging for him, and he dropped into a ready stance. He couldn't think of anything better, so when the deer was close enough he jumped and slammed into it himself, his adaptable nature made it a particularly powerful hit, but not nearly enough on his own...

And that was when Missile happened, crashing into the deer as well. They were not only siblings, but littermates, and Missile really wouldn't have let anyone get run over by... well, anything.

"Yeah, I think so too," Steely sighed and looked to the sky, still not spotting her dragon. She certainly was closer, though.

So, Ben still has 3.9 :ffexp to abuse, and Kagami is level 42 with 1.2 :exp . So, .3 :ffexp onto her makes her level 43, and she evolves into glaceon. Eeveelutions complete!




Kagami scrambled around the side of the rock as more things catapulted onto the rock, flattening herself against the frosty side with a irritable hiss as she looked around wildly for anything else that was going to go flying through the air.

See, because Selene didn't quite catch on immediately what Missile's 'Sorry!' was about, she sprang after him with a squeal of glee, since this was a game of chase-tag, bounding into the fray after him. So not only did a deer go flying over her head, but an eevee and an umbreon catapulted over as well.

Selene skidded to a halt as the little deer squealed, skidding to a halt as Manfred charged. He lashed out with his forehooves at Manfred with a pair of powerful kicks, but it didn't seem to slow the eevee down too much. Manfred slamming into his chest a moment later caused his eyes to bug out, before Missile plowed into his hindquarters a second later, throwing him a full three-sixty, to skid off the opposite side of the rock in a heap of tangled legs and fur. Didn't really get up again, either. "Wow, tag team death for the win. Awesome." She grinned.

"Ouch." Ben winced a little at the train wreck that had put the poor thing through, frowning a little in consideration. The vague notion of catching the deer was put aside almost as quickly as he considered it, really. There wasn't much need for a deer other than data, and he really didn't feel like using a Phoenix Ball on something that was just for data. "Might want to put him somewhere less obvious to keep him from being dinner, though..." he muttered, heading around in that direction.

Kagami, once all the noise and fuss died down, hopped up onto the rock, ears slicked back irritably, a faint glow fading from around her silver-white fur. "Are we done with the jumping and noise and flying now?" she inquired, flicking her tail primly. Her colors seemed a bit faded for a glaceon, as she huffed a little indignantly, looking around.

"Well...I guess that works..." Ben tilted his head in momentary surprise at the glaceon, then went to go move the little deer to under a bush to recover. Something might still find and eat it, but at least it had a chance, now.

Manfred shook his head to clear the stars out of his vision when he sat back down on the rock, Missile running circles around him and barking in triumph. The smaller eevee's ears shot straight up and a split second later he started to glow. He got bigger then Missile, and when the glow stopped there was another leafeon sitting there, normal colored unlike Faith. He swished his ears.

"Huh..."

"Yaaaay!" Missile yapped.

"Well, that was straightforward," Steely said after she finished wincing. She sat up like she was going to go move the deer herself, but Ben wasn't crippled so he beat her to the punch. Steely still had her cane tucked up against her side where she was sitting on the lion. "Thanks, dude. I'd'a done that myself, but..." she trailed off.

The lot of them looked over at Kagami, seeing that she had evolved too. Residual magic in the air, or something. Steely chuckled, "Hah, that was easy. You headed home now, Ben?"

Bushido slunk out of the forest during the battle, and had crept to stand nearby, looking at everyone. He politely nodded at Ben, remembering full well who he was.

Ben settled the little deer down comfortably and considered, frowning for a moment or two in consideration of Steely's question. "Actually, I'd been thinking of taking a few minutes to hunt down a cherubi somewhere. They're in the woods around here, I just keep forgetting to get myself one."

And I totally hadn't derped in forgetting that detail until I was updating my pokedex with glaceon a few seconds ago, silly Eevee.

"Probably wouldn't take too long to do, and I wasn't sure if I was going to head back to the ranch, or maybe off to challenge some of the gyms." Ben shrugged a little, as he moved out of the way of the deerthing, and whistled his horde of eevees over. "After that, I've only got a few more plates to find..." he muttered, mostly to himself, before raising his voice again. "Might head toward Yorek, don't have a croagunk."

And he'd eat a hat if the Toxic Plate wasn't to be found around there somewhere. He bowed back, blinking, to Bushido as the scyther then emerged and bowed to him, automatically. It took the blind man a second to figure out who the bug was, but once he had, he spoke up respectfully. "Good day to you, Bushido...you haven't by chance seen a cherubi, have you?" No harm in asking, anyhow. "You can head on back, if you want, Steely, though...I'll probably catch up in an hour, tops."




So yeah, the Eevee derped big time in forgetting the Cherubi thing. It's a common in both Primeval and Frosted Forest, so I'd been planning on grabbing one real quick when I did this, and then since I procrastinated so long...derpderpderp. You can move on, or whatever, of course. n.n

As long as he doesn't eat Steely's hat.

"Well, I did tell Zelda that I'd only be here for an hour or so... but since I have an escort, I don't think she'll mind," she laughed again. "Another human, anyways."

Bushido stomped over to stand next to Vulcanus, the Entei watching the skies while everyone else spoke. The scyther considered the question, sharpening his scytles against each other, "I apologize; I have not, no."

Is that one of those fruity looking things? Helix suddenly exploded over the top of the trees, slamming down into the flat part of the rock where there wasn't anything frolicking. I think I saw one of those further south east-ish. No shrooms though, sorry boss.

"There's a new pokemon called a foongus that I thought would be nice to have around... make Windy more comfortable with some more Jgsei pokemon, and maybe help out in the greenhouse," Steely scratched the back of her head. To be fair, there was a lot of things she could use out here, but if Ben was going to go look for one thing, then she was going to pick one thing too.

Manfred and Missile were looking at Helix, and both scampered back over to Steely and climb up into her lap when the legendary looked at them. "Alright, alright. You guys had a hell of a time staying on Vulcan anyways," she withdrew the two eevee-things, and looked back at Daniel still behind her, "You too, Dan?"

"If you think you're warm enough, yes," he said quietly. To stay on while Vulcan was moving, he had to hold onto Steely which was... awkward for him. Steely had given up trying to figure out the chandelure a while ago.

"Bushido?"

"I can fly, I will stay out."

Bitchin'. Hey, little man, you want a ride? I can carry you, Helix looked over at Ben, her turbine tail revving up for a moment.



I would not be against finding a foongus, personally! Also a common in Primeval.

Helix said she saw a cherubi down in Thick Forest 2, though. Shall we?

"Fruity..." Ben blinked a few times at that, then shrugged a little. It sounded about right anyhow. However, the idea of riding the legendary was a little...discomfiting. But it was either that or try to join Steely on Vulcanus. And he doubted the fire beast would approve of that much.

So, with a shrug he recalled all his fuzzballs, so that there was no griping about anyone staying out when they didn't get to. Plus, he really didn't want to have to try and catch one of them if Helix got going too fast or whatever. "There's munna down there too, and probably others. If you think Zelda wouldn't object to you staying out a little past curfew with a chaperone, I'm game for a bit. Plenty of birds in the forest and while I got the evolutions, I managed to miss starly, as well, for data."

Whether or not he caught the munna he ran into down there I don't even know yet, but hey. He also made a mental note to see about a few more of the new pokemon on his searching. Just because he liked to be helpful. But he couldn't keep putting off getting on the legend forever, so with a certain amount of reluctance, he got aboard Helix, grabbing whatever he could cling to. "I haven't really flown much..."

Honestly, he wasn't too comfortable with flying, really. But a short flight wouldn't be too bad, hopefully.

"Yeah, I just didn't want to keep you out too long either. Nearly got all those plates, and there's still plenty of daylight to search for one somewhere today, right?" she laughed, thinking along the same lines Ben had earlier. "I guess we can keep an eye out of one of those silly birds Celeste has... I don't think hers is ever going to evolve."

Derpy thing that it is.

Helix beamed and helpfully crouched down so Ben could grab the base of her wing and put his foot on her knee to pull himself up. He could comfortably sit on the dragon's back and put his arms around her neck to hold on, since there really wasn't much of anywhere else. The turbine whirred and buzzed, but none of the energy came out to tag Ben in the ass or anything, thank goodness.

Ah, don't worry dude, I don't let you fall. Just don't scream! the legend crouched a little, wings snapping wide open and tail whirring like a jet engine. Before Ben could protest, the dragon shot off into the air, making the air whip around on the ground. Steely covered her eyes from the flying dirt, blinking in bewilderment.

"...oh for fuck's sake, I shoulda known better'en that. C'mon," she hunkered down on the legend's back, grabbing handfuls of his mane as he shot off like a comet. Bushido followed... much slower, but he was confidant that he wouldn't lose them.

The flight wasn't long at all, and before Ben could make sense of things, the dragon slowed to a stop and hovered in midair, Fruity things, right? she pointed down at a gap in the thick trees, where there were a trio of cherubi pushing each out of the way of a sunbeam. They looked at the legend hovering, then at each other, then went back to pushing. Nope, not even the legendary was going to stop them from trying to get in the sun, and besides... she'd flown past before and hadn't done anything.

Let's assume that she went low enough for Ben to feel their auras and confirm that's what he was looking for. Also let's assume that she'll land/whatever if he tells her to.

Pfffft.

Ben gave a strangled sort of yip as Helix took off, and then just held on for dear life. The joyride thankfully didn't take all that long. Screaming really didn't occur to him, as much because it was enough of an effort to breathe that he was more worrying about that than anything else. And naturally, screaming required breathing, so it wasn't going to happen.

That and he didn't really do that sort of thing as a fear reaction. Pain, sure. Fear, not so often. "...I think we might have left a few things behind back there..." he mumbled several seconds after they had stopped. Like internal organs. He didn't hardly dare try to even move to get his bearings, but eventually things filtered back to sort of normal.

"Fruity things, yeah..." he said a bit more clearly, as he turned his attention to the squabbling trio. Fighting over a sunbeam, were they? Well...huh. "Land somewhere nearby, but try not to block that sunbeam. I wonder..."

Once they were safely on the ground, Ben didn't waste a second in getting off Helix, and not being very inclined to get back on any time soon. A flash of light caused Faith to appear beside the two of them, and Ben tilted his head. "Hey Faith, could you maybe use Sunny Day to make another sunbeam for these guys?" The leafeon whuffed once and threw her head back, trotting around to find a likely spot to call down the sun nearby.

He really didn't want to have to get into a fight with all the things to just catch one of them, really. So maybe if he got a distraction, he could get one of them alone in one of the two beams and either convince it to come to a sunny greenhouse and be happy forever, or just make the other two happy by removing one and leaving them two sunbeams.

There was also the chance they might decide to try to turn Faith into a sunbeam making slave after seeing this, but he could deal with that too, if it happened.

The dragon powered sideways and dropped through the canopy, landing on the ground with a thud. She picked up and tossed a couple of logs out of the way so they could clearly see the three. Still didn't get any of them to look over, which was just as well.

Also, what did we leave behind? Steely? She's right there, Helix pointed behind them and the Entei with his rider burst through the trees a second later, slamming to a stop just short of plowing Ben over. Vulcan wasn't even breathing hard as he looked around.

"Oh good, she's behaving," Steely pulled her face out of the legend's mane and looked at Helix, who just smiled.

Faith trotted out and the three grass critters gave her a nasty look, knowing full well that leafeon's thrived in the sun as much as they did. Instead of making another sunbeam, the bright sunshine made the existing one bigger. Big enough for two of them, and they shoved one of the males away and cuddled up together.

So that left one of the males, looking like he just got dumped, dejected and in the shadows. Poor dude.

"..." Ben decided against commenting about the behaving bit, since it was technically true. But he quietly set to work on the mess the jetstream had made of his hair and nodded to Faith as the sunbeam got bigger. Well, that had kinda worked, anyhow. The leafeon glanced back, then giggled and leaned over to conspiratorially whisper to the dejected fellow.

"I know of a place where there's lots of sunshine all the time...well, aside from when it's dark out or rainy I guess, but still. All the sun you could ever want, if you want to come along with me and my friend. We'll let you stay there for as long as you want..." She flicked an ear dismissively at the other two pokemon. "No stupid fake friends booting you out of the way as soon as there's no room. There's plenty of room for everyone there."

She hopped up, prancing back over to Ben, looking over her shoulder hopefully to see if the cherubi would follow her. "I promise, we can get you tons more sunshine than that silly little sunbeam if you come...and you'll be able to make lots and lots of friends that don't mind sharing with you."

Steely leaaaaned way over, like she was going to intentionally muss up Ben's hair again, but she managed to contain herself. She still halfway reached for it, though, before Vulcan snorted at her antics and she pulled herself back onto his back properly.

The cherubi looked at where Faith had come from, seeing the humans and the legends. Sure, not like he knew they were Ben's, but they at least looked happy. And nearly anywhere else would be sunnier then this place of the thick trees.

...and his friends were dicks. Being a wild pokemon sucked, yo.

He stood up and shot the cuddling couple in the sun a look before trotting over and sitting on Ben's shoe. If he didn't like it, he could just leave.

Once Ben zapped the thing away, Helix chuckled, He still didn't seem too happy about it, but ah well. We all come around eventually. The smart ones anyways.

Vulcan gave the Deep Black dragon a sideways glare, smoking a little, but didn't say anything. Helix could kick his ass and he knew it.

"Wonder where Bushido went..." Steely trailed off suddenly, looking around.



Bam, caught, neutral happy.

Well, that worked quite swimmingly, all things told. As Steely leeeeeaned toward Ben, he automatically leeeeeaned away as he fussed at his hair, tilting his head a little as Faith wove around his leg, and then the cherubi plopped down onto his shoe.

Very swimmingly indeed. And they didn't need water, either. He reached down with a lovely luxury ball to tap the little thing with, and zapped him off to the ranch, where shortly he'd be introduced to the wonders that was the greenhouse and probably be very happy indeed. Not all that exciting in the end, but you never knew.

"Well...that's one down, anyhow." Faith nodded happily, looking forward to going and finding her new friend and showing him around later, as Ben straightened up, tilting his head a little. "And...that's a good question, really." He furrowed his brows, trying to see if he couldn't sense the scyther anywhere nearby.

The scyther just wasn't quite as fast as everyone else, and honestly, got a bit more slowed up when a few derpy looking birds decided that despite him being several times larger than them, he was a bug and therefore tasty dinnernoms. Annoying, to say the least.

Steely frowned when she heard some kind of struggling going on further in the trees. "C'mon," she waved for them to follow as Vulcanus started plowing through the undergrowth. Helix smiled at Ben, but I'm assuming that he wouldn't want to repeat the ride again since it wasn't very far away.

"Back, savages!" he bellowed, slashing a line of darkness at one. He'd tried to hold off attacking them as long as he could, but they were relentless and ravenous. Vulcan trotted into the clearing where the fighting was happening, and raised an eyebrow. His coat started to smoke and spark alarmingly, making Steely shift back and fourth.

"Should I get off?"

No... I'm waiting for a clear shot, Vulcan raised his paw, waiting for Bushido to knock the one away. The scyther did, with the slash, and the legend slammed his paw into the ground. A crack traveled along, spewing hot air and the smell of sulfur, before exploding under two of the birds to rain down fire and molten rock. Steely stared, and realized herself again when she heard Bushido shriek. She pulled out an ultra ball, and handed it to Helix, who pulled her massive arm back and pitched the ball for the last bird standing.

Ben winced, hurriedly grabbing for Caligo's pokeball as fire and death rained down in the vicinity of two of the birds. The final bird got knocked into a tree, before getting sucked up by a pokeball, which rattled wildly several times before it went still and whatnot.

A couple of the birds had gotten noms in on Bushido before they'd been crispied or knocked into trees, but at this point it seemed like there was only so much to be done. Between the angry legend and all the fire, the little bird that had almost been caught was hesitating and trying to rethink her options.

"Cal, rain, now..." Ben said hastily, coughing at the smoke. They didn't really want to burn the forest down after all, and several fires were threatening from Vulcanus' eruptions of destruction. He was mostly concerned with the damage control to the area as the vaporeon danced and clouds rumbled suddenly overhead, dropping a lot of water on them all suddenly.

A bit belatedly, Ben realized soaking everyone probably wasn't the healthiest for Steely, but then, it was healthier than being caught in a forest fire. Right?

Steely had pulled up her shirt over her face when the smoke started to reach them as the trees caught fire, though it quickly went out under the pouring rain. All the water that got onto the legend's coat fizzled away quickly, and he surveyed his handiwork with a smirk.

"Moderation?"

Psh, fuck that.

Helix was watching the sky, and Steely started a little when the clouds rumbled with thunder. She stopped nervously watching the sky when Bushido walked over, his wings folded up.

"I would like to go back into my ball, if you don't mind," the scyther blinked up at her, water streaming down his armor.

"Oh, yeah, sorry man. Didn't mean to leave you behind," she pulled out the bug's pokeball, and he shrugged before she recalled him. She looked at the sphere in her hand with a sigh. "Least I got him out of the house for a while. Now, what were you looking for? A... starly, right?"

More birds? Ffs.

"Assumin' that means that y'haven't seen one?"

I wasn't lookin' for birds, lady.

Steely shook water out of her face and looked at Ben, "How y'think we could scare up a starly?"

I could start more fires.

"How about not."

Ben shook a little water out of his hair, not that it did much in the heavy rain. "I suppose...not a whole lot of harm done..." he mumbled after a pause. He decided against commenting that the two birds were nothing more than barbecue after that. For one, it really wouldn't serve a purpose, and to be fair, they'd been trying to inflict the circle of life onto Bushido first, so fair was fair, one supposed.

Still, he really felt it best to continue on their way, picking a direction that headed away from the smoking remains with a shrug. "Birdseed is the first thing that comes to mind. I suppose birdcalls might work too, but I'm not really too practiced at whistling or the like." They could try berries, but that probably would attract a bit too much attention.

And the other option that occurred he wasn't even going to suggest because it was plain mean. Bushido had gotten some attention once, though, so it was a valid idea. Just not a good one, or fair at all to the scyther.

"So, uhm..." His head tilted as he wandered a bit. "Faith, how about you try some whistling, I guess?" He wasn't sure what it might do, but it couldn't hurt. He raised hands to plug his own ears, though, just in case, figuring the others probably would take the hint.

Faith tilted her head, then minced forward to a small clearing, and crouched low, starting to wave her tail through the air, creating an odd, soothing piping whistle as she did so, ears twitching to see if she heard anything in response.




So, uh. IDK man. Faith is using Grasswhistle to see if she puts something to sleep or attracts attention from something else that whistles. Really, IDK, here.

Steely was confused as to why Ben was covering his ears, at least until the whistling started. When she started to waver slightly, realization hit her and she straightened up, hurriedly plugging her ears. Vulcan didn't seem affected, just looking around boredly, absorbing the smell of the smoke still in his nostrils. Not often you got to set an ancient forest on fire, after all.

This seems kinda silly, Rapier said suddenly, tilting her head.

It seemed to work, though. Suddenly a starly bolted through the trees, angry that someone was making music in her turf.

Wild pokemon are weird.

Sometimes silly works. Ben hadn't really entirely necessarily expected it to work THIS well, however. Angry birds going after Faith because she was making sleepy music wasn't exactly the game plan. But it was what they had got. Whups.

He had kinda been hoping for something to fall asleep, but the bird was way too angry to be messing around with that, and Faith laid her ears back as the thing dove for her with an angry whistle. "Deal with it princess, you'll do fine. Don't hit it too hard, though..." Ben dug an ultraball out of his pockets, enlarging it to toss after the exchange happened.

Faith yapped. "I bet you're just jealous because you sing off-key," she grumbled, leaf-tail glowing brightly as she crouched, and whirled it in a fierce slash at the bird as soon as she got close. Ben threw the ultraball a moment after the exchange, trying to keep the damage down to a minimum.

Steely pulled her hands away when the whistling stopped, watching as the bird divebombed Faith and got a blade to the face for her trouble. The screeching bird sent a knifing, highly accurate gust of air for the grass type, which hit her hard but it didn't matter, because a second later An Ultra Ball Happened.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, ding!

"You ever notice that a lot of the basic pokemon have a really high catch rate?" Steely said suddenly, looking at Ben. It was true, but it wasn't like anyone ever actually... said it. Weird.

But, now Ben was + 1 bird. With 11 anger. And let's say that Faith took like half health damage, not that it matters because lol synthesis/wish.

Hey, if you're looking for a shroom, there was a hugeass log over that way, Helix pointed off to their right a little. Might be a good place to look?

"If Ben feels like it," she glanced over at him. And since the answer will obviously be 'why not' or something similar, Steely abruptly remembered something.

"You, uh, wanna ride up here instead of walking? Vulcan won't mind, right big boy?" she ruffled the lion's hair, which he just pouted at. He didn't really care, honestly, and he knew the reason Steely was asking. Actually, thinking about the reason made him puff up with pride a little bit.

Since, you know, riding on Helix had totally been a good idea. Steely was pretty sure that Ben didn't care to repeat that experience.

Shit, I could give him a ride again.

"No because you are dangerous. :c"

And he isn't???

Heh heh heh.

Faith let out a shriek of outrage as her beautiful coat was ripped apart by the razor winds. Never mind the damage it did to her otherwise, her coat was sacred and now she'd just had hours of self-preening undone! The horror!

However, before retribution could be unleashed, the bird was sucked into a ball, which landed beside the outraged silver leafeon. With a decisive whack of her paw, she set it flying in Ben's general direction even before it had stilled and sat down in the center of the glade, soaking up the sunlight and starting to set her mussed up coat back to rights, growling under her breath.

Ben decided to leave the silver leafeon to her Synthesizing the damage away for the moment while he considered the next course of action. He nodded at the mention of the log, because it did sound like a good place to go for finding what else they were looking for, but the suggestions for how to get there gave him decided pause.

"Uhm..." he hesitated for several long moments as the exchanges went on over his head, but still letting him hear it all clearly. There were a few other complications he had, as well. Helix was one thing, in that she was an airborne beast and so forth...but if Jax ever heard that he'd gotten on top of another fire-dog (even if he was part lion), there would be no end to the trouble. And Jax actually could teach Vulcanus a thing or two these days.

And he really didn't want to contribute to making the entei back into a grouch-face. "Er...I think I'll let you go on ahead and walk a bit. Shouldn't take me long to catch up and I can have Phoebus practice some line of sight jumping while we're at it to speed things up." He rubbed the back of his neck and coughed. "No offense intended, but Jax is a rather jealous one...Phoebus could use the practice, too."

And with that, Faith was recalled, and Phoebus reappeared, blinking a few times in confusion as Ben picked him up. "See how far you can spot something to jump to in that direction, Phoebus. You've been wanting Teleporting practice. Should be good for you." The espeon perked his ears up and looked in the indicated direction eagerly.

So unless Steely decides to have Vulcanus scoop Ben up by the seat of his pants anyway, they can run off ahead for now.

Steely actually did get the bizarre, irrational urge to have Vulcan scoop Ben up anyways, but quickly fought off. She also noticed that Helix pouted, and moved like she was bodily going to scoop the boy up herself, but Steely grabbed her cane and thwacked her in the shoulder before she could.

"No."

Fiiiiiine, the dragon coiled her legs and jumped straight up again, disappearing into the sky. Helix liked looking around Opaddeka, and Steely didn't feel inclined to stop her. As long as she wasn't doing anything stupid.

Steely looked in the direction that the dragon had pointed, and shrugged at Ben. May as well.

"Ready?"

The Beast responded by crouching down slightly, muscles flexing before he took off running through the trees again. His paws thundered on the ground, but he glanced around occasionally to see if he could see the boy and his teleporter.

And thus, they ran towards the log. Next landmark over, shouldn't take that long. Then, possibly, a shroom.

Ben has a teleporter in his arms, so that would have been...interesting to say the least. But the two quickly outdistanced the human, though there was a couple points where there was a flash of sudden Ben to one side or the other, but there wasn't really any keeping up with the running lion-dog with all the trees keeping line of sight limited.

And not too much wanted to mess with the lion-dog locally with smoke still rising from the last altercation involving him. And so, there wasn't much progress, until they reached the next landmark.

It's Log, Log, it's big, it's heavy, it's wood. It's Log, Log, it's better than bad, it's good!

*brick'd*

...right then. So yeah. It's nice and round and woody and sitting there all hard...

*brick'dx2*

....um. What? It's a log. There's only so much excitement you can get out of a log. But there is a shroom on it. But it's not the right shroom. But no harm in asking directions, right?

Or you could light the log on fire to see if that smokes some out. Mmm, burning wood...

Well we know what YOU had in mind when you wrote that. :P

The mighty beast of fire slowed to a stop when the log came into view, looking the giant piece of wood over- god damn it now you have me doing it too.

Ahem.

The Entei looked around, padding into the cleared area around the log and keeping an eye out for mushrooms and/or Ben. He spotted a mushroom first... but it didn't look new or interesting, so he didn't think that was it.

"Well, that is a mushroom. Hm," she looked to see if she could see anything else, but not in the immediate area. She pulled on his faceplate when she noticed the legend smoking slightly, "None of that, that thing'll go up like nobody's business."

I fail to see the problem with this.

Steely barely resisted the urge to dig her heels into the legend's sides, instead getting him to move a little closer to the existing mushroom. May as well ask, and if things went south, then Vulcan could set everything on fire. "Excuse me, you wouldn't happen to know if there were any other mushroom species around here, would you?"

Actually, the log song just popped into my head when thinking about the landmark and it snowballed from there.

The mushroom didn't seem too phased by the legendary, sitting there with a sort of blissful expression on his little face, smiling up at the two of them a bit vacantly. I'll bet burning him would make for a lot of fun times. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds time and everything.

But anyhow. The thing was quite obviously not inclined to be hostile, anyway. It did take him about a minute to register, process and formulate an answer to it, though it was obvious as his face scrunched up in thought after a second.

"There's mushrooms around here eeeeverywhere lady, but not really a bite to eat. It's a shame, really..." He wiggled a few leaves northward vaguely. "Got the brainmunchers up thataway, m'friends are back thataway..." Some leaves wiggled roughly southwestward. "...aaaand the ballsy ones off thataway...they're kinda new t'town." He giggled as some leaves wiggled in the direction of straight east.

"Wouldn't happen to have a snack to share, would ya?" he asked hopefully, as a faint pop finally heralded Ben's arrival. He muffled a yelp as he flailed a moment for balance, since Phoebus had teleported them onto the top of the log, near the shroomish. The grass type stared in a sort of awe at the two for a moment, then giggled excitedly.

"I said BY the log, not on it Phoe...why is there a mushroom trying to climb my leg?" Ben was suddenly very still as the shroomish Steely had been talking to suddenly adhered himself to his leg.

"Magic man! You've gotta have some good stuff to be pulling off that...share, share!"

Oh, boy.

(...ahaha, I think the mushroom is high. Is that even possible?)

Vulcanus pulled his upper lip back a little in something like disgust at the mushroom's behavior, feeling the need to burn things rising again. And he couldn't even set the mushroom on fire, because suddenly Ben was there and he knew Steely would be pissed if he set Ben on fire.

"East, huh?" Steely looked off in that direction just as Ben appeared. She tilted her head up at him, and then looked down at the shroom. She'd been thinking of giving the mushroom a watmel berry for a snack...

"Oh, uh. I think he's a little... high. He thinks you're magic... wait, how am I understanding him?"

That's me. I thought it would be easier then translating. You hear what I hear, the lion sniffed, as if psychic relaying wasn't difficult at all. Steely did have a pretty particular bond with her legendaries, though.

"But hey, little dude. Have some munchies," Steely pulled out a trio of watmel berries and set them next to the shroom, away enough that hopefully it would encourage him to get off of Ben's leg and eat instead.

"He said east of here... which is more forest. I think it would be easier if we just walked... I should stretch my legs anyways."



Giving the little guy three watmels because why not.

Anything is possible, actually, my dear Cerberus, if I'm bored enough. :P

"..." Ben added an enigma berry into the pile of things, because it's all mysterious and stuff and maybe if he added it to the munchies, it'd be considered good enough. In either case, I have completely forgotten why I grew so many of the silly things once upon a time, in all actuality.

But the berries and so forth all made the shroom quite happy, though only took the edge off the munchies the thing was having, it gave enough time for everyone to get out of sight in the indicated eastward direction. Ben wasn't quite sure what to make of the 'direct translation' business that Vulcanus was apparently doing, but he wasn't going to complain. Also, take 2 :lp per berry given to the guy to help with the munchies, so 6 :lp for helping him out so.

And so, not too far into Thick Forest 3, there was suddenly a circular patch of red and white sitting there, swaying. The center was an absolutely monstrous shroom thing, around which several smaller shrooms clustered, some sniffling a little.

The amoonguss was quite clearly dead upon closer inspection. The other fungi seemed to be immersed in some sort of funerary rites or something over the thing. Probably her kids, really. But hey, they were Jgseishrooms, so yay!

"Not sure what to suggest to you here..." Ben muttered after a moment or three, frowning a little at the aura of sad mourning. Though there was a decided purposefulness to it all, too.

"To the earth all returns, as life departs the husk..." one of the biggest of the foongus suddenly intoned, all the rest going quiet, then chanting dutifully back.

"...and new life from the earth takes root, by the sacrifice of their elders..." Yep, definitely some sort of wierd funeral thing. The littlest of the mushrooms sniffled again, nearest the back.

Steely waited until they were out of the stoner shroom's sight before hauling herself off of the legend's back. She thudded heavily to the ground, knees bending as she balanced herself with one hand on Vulcan's side and leaning against her cane with the other. Smiling sheepishly at Ben, she limped east through the forest, with Vulcan at her heels.

The beast heard the talking first, perking up and heading more directly that way. When they reached the funeral, Steely frowned and leaned against the fire lion to listen for a moment.

I could always go assist them. Funeral pyre's are still popular, aren't they? he spoke up, but was surprisingly quiet.

Steely jabbed him in the shoulder. "No, Vulcan," she mumbled back. Then, she looked to Ben with a frown, "I think I'm going to go home. It doesn't really feel right trying to catch one of these ones... I can always find one later, it's not that important. See you at the ranch in a few hours?" she tilted her head a little at him.

"I guess. Might come back later and talk to 'em,though. Wouldn't be surprised if one might be interested in seeing more of Opadekka." Ben shrugged a little. "Will see you in a few, yeah. Might be interesting to see how they finish this, anyway."

// So yeah, can call this done for now. *collects stuff and ports out to Hillmoss*

Steely gingerly rubbed the base of her skull, looking northward hesitantly, "Yeah... see you later."

She lingered a few minutes after Ben disappeared, more or less because she had to wait for Helix to show up again. To keep the big dragon from interrupting the funeral, she moved away to a clearing big enough for the dragon to drop down through, and sat down on a log.

You seem troubled, the lion stood next to her, looking down at her. Steely frowned a little, head in her hands.

"...I'm still not used to you being nice to me. 's not why 'm troubled, though."

I guess I got tired of your horde trying to break my spine and drown me. Having her breathing down my neck helped, too, he jerked his head up at the sky, where Steely could faintly hear the whirr of her turbine tail.

She sighed, rubbing the back of her head again. Vulcanus frowned at her.

You're not really thinking of going up there, are you?

"Zap plates... are found in the mountains north of Slumber. I figured I'll help Ben out a little bit," she looked away from the legendary, still gingerly feeling the back of her neck and the base of her skull.

That's not the full reason you're going up there.

Wind whipped through the trees, blowing dead leaves and dirt around as the dark dragon landed with a thud on a fallen log, snapping it into little pieces.

You feel unsure.

"I am unsure."

She wants to go running around in the mountains, the Entei pulled his lips back in a silent snarl, showing his teeth. The Jgsei legend didn't even react to it, instead clapping her claws and beaming.

Great, adventure time. Where we headed, boss?

"...Slumber. We're going to Slumber."
