(OOC: Did I say how long it took her to get there? And she runs really fast. A good few miles in about 20 minutes. Most dogs and cats can move that fast IRL, so why not?:P And she isn't back yet. She's just heading back. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.)

Megaman765 August 29th, 2011 10:33 AM

Snype watched as Archur trained himself to learn how to swim through a whirlpool. It was a nice tactic. Comparing the weight of rocks to the rest of the group. It was a handy tactic. He sure took awhile though, Night arrived quickly. Archur told Snype he had first watch. He didn't mind it at all. Snype wasn't much of a sleeper and even with one eye, he had stellar vision.

"aye aye!" Snype said happily. He then heard a cry for help. It was toward Dia and Caro. A friend of theirs perhaps? Nonetheless, Snype sprung into action. Though by the time he got there, Dia seemed to have taken care of the ghosts. Shame. Snype had the urge to show off how capable he was in battle. He sighed and headed on back to keep lookout. On the way he saw Dia heading back, along with a Garchomp. Dia headed back herself, and left the Garchomp by himself. May as well help him out.

"Hey, the group moved not too far from here. Follow me." Snype said to the Garchomp.

luigimario84 August 29th, 2011 11:16 AM

Geo watched as Dia walked off with a pile of knocked out Gengar behind her. She walked off not caring much about him. Then a Sableye jumped down. At first he thought it was Caro but then he noticed this Sableye was different. "Hey, the group moved not too far from here. Follow me." the Sableye said trying to be friendly.

Geo followed the Sableye and noticed Archur trying to learn Whirlpool to get to a set of islands a bit further along. "So your trying to get over there?" Geo asked. " Well I could use fly to get us over there if you want?"

Nideous August 29th, 2011 12:59 PM

Dia walked back into camp long after everyone had fallen asleep. She looked around. Well, where did Snype go? Dia shook herself off and took her spot next to Archur. She was nocturnal, so she wasn't that tired. She waited and after a while, Geo and Snype came back. Geo said something about flying them across the water. She hissed angrily at him.
"If you so much as try to carry me again, I'll... I'll..." Dia said. That short flight had terrified her. She never wanted to fly again.

zapdos926 August 29th, 2011 3:26 PM

Archur slowly opened his eyes, "Hmm? Who woke me up? It's still dark," he saw Geo, who was saying something incoherent to Archur. "I'm too tired, can't you wait until the sun comes up?" he waved the garchomp off, not fully comprehending in his drowsyness that the garchomp had returned, and looked around his body to make sure he wouldn't squish Dia if she was near him, finding the she was, he scooted over just a little, enough so he would have enough room to lay on his somach and fell asleep again.

Megaman765 August 29th, 2011 4:48 PM

Snype quickly followed back to the group. The garchomp from before was there as well, thanks to Snype pointing him in the right direction. He took his place again on the same rock to continue lookout throughout the area. "Well it's quiet around right now. Just a few gengar finding our friend here. What''s your name anyway? I'm Snype." He said to the Garchomp.

Fort PokePower August 29th, 2011 4:59 PM

((OOC: Sorry about taking so long on this, guys... I've been working on this post for the past few days but was never really happy with it... Oh yeah, just so everyone knows, when I use "---" it means I'm either switching from my character to an NPC, or I'm switching from an NPC to my character and "***" means the scene has changed.))

The day after she had been brought to the Mountain Arena, Mini and the Aerodactyl were blinking in the sunlight that came through holes, to small for any pokemon to fit through, in the roof. Many of the humans jeered when they saw the tiny, weak looking pokemon that the Aerodactyl was up against. The Castform just smirked. 'Boy are they in for a big surprise.'

The first thing Mini Death did was use Rain Dance. Clouds formed in the dome and rain started to pour down, causing her to transform into her Rain Form. Aerodactyl grunted and took off. The rain made it harder for him to fly, but he had strong wings. Boulders spread out around the arena lifted into the air and flew at Mini as her foe used Ancient Power. She flew back and forth, up and down, to dodge the rocks. The Castform than put on her most adorable face and winked at the ancient pokemon. Pink hearts spread out before her like bubbles, popping when they touched Aerodactyl. His eyes widened a bit than his cheeks reddened a bit as he looked at Mini Death. 'Hehe... Attract always works.' With her foe to infatuated to do anything, Mini was able to get a direct hit in with Hydro Pump. The blast of water sent him flying into the all, creating a dent and knocking the Aerodactyl out. Mini smiled and whispered to herself, "To easy." When there were no cheers from the audience Mini looked up at the stands. They seemed to be waiting for her to do something. 'Wait... two went in... and only the Aerodactyl came out...' Her eyes widened as she realized they wanted her to kill him. Sure, Mini was brutal, but she'd never actually killed anything before. She scowled. 'Come on, quit being a wimp and get it over with.' Electricity crackled around her body than she sent it all at the Aerodactyl in one, strong pulse. She kept the Thunder attack up until all signs of life left it. She didn't feel any regret, but she couldn't exactly say she was happy with herself either. Something pricked her side and she blacked out again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There was the soft sound of wings pushing against air as a large bird, unidentifiable in the dark of night, circled over a rather odd group of pokemon. A silent whoosh of air and two more birds, both large but smaller than the other, joined the winged form high up in the sky.

"I told you it was strange, sir. Do you think we should take them to Master?" one asked the bigger one.

"I doubt we could take them all, but that Umbreon looks like it could be easy pickings. The others are sure to follow, if they are as friendly as they seem," was the reply. They three birds dove as one than split apart, the two smaller ones causing confusion by pecking at the Swampert, two Sableye, and Garchamp with their long, sharp beaks. The larger one, who seemed to be the leader of the gang, snatched the young Umbreon up with his strong talons, flying high up into the sky while cackling loudly. The other two birds followed soon after and the three forms disappeared into the night sky.
************************************************************
The bird holding Dia dives down into a cavern embedded in the ground and hidden by an illusion from the outside while the other two stand guard outside. The bird has apparently been here before as it flies expertly through the cave, maneuvering through the maze of tunnels with ease. Within a few minutes, it comes to a large room lit by torches that line the walls. At the far end of the room, a dark form rises from what appears to be a throne carved out of the stone. The bird, now revealed to be a Fearow, bows low to the being while still holding Dia with a foot.

"Murdock, who is this?" the being asks as it steps into the torchlight. The flickering flames show it to be a Zoroark.

"This Umbreon was traveling with a rather strange group of pokemon, Master. We thought you would like to see them for yourselves," Murdock said.

"Than where are the others?" "Master" asks in a stern voice.

"There were to many for us to carry on our own... We brought only this one in the hopes the others will follow."

The Zoroark sighed. "Very well. Keep a look out for them and be sure they find the tunnels. Just be careful which rooms you allow them to find. Now go. But leave the Umbreon here." Murdock bowed and flew out of the room. The Zoroark then turned to Dia. "Now, who are you and why would you travel with other pokemon?" he questioned.

((OOC: Nideous, if you want to have Dia doing something while the NPCs were talking, go ahead. Just remember that the tunnels are a hug maze and Dia would more than likely get lost if she tried to run off.
Hopefully now that War Between Pokemon and Humans is ending I'll be able to concentrate more on this RP. Sorry for my inactivity in my own RP XD))

Nideous August 29th, 2011 5:51 PM

(OOC: Sure thing, but please remember Dia is not as helpless as she seems. She would definately get caught like that, but she would fight every step of the way and make life generally miserable for the fearow. :D)

Dia stood up and walked around boredly. Sometimes being nocturnal was a b****, especially when you are traveling with a bunch of diurnal pokemon. Maybe she could find a way so that she could travel by night and they could catch up to her in the daytime. That's when her sensative ears picked up people talking. She didn't like what she heard. She hissed angrily and glared up at the birds that were now diving at her. Correction, the big one dove at her. The other two attacked her sleeping compnions. She was livid. They were attacking her friend! She blasted the bird that was pecking at Archur with Faint Attack, sending him reeling. Then she was picked up and hauled into the air. All consious thought faded and she began biting, kicking, screaming, blasting. Anything she could think of to get him to let her go.

"Let me go you freak! I'm scared of heights!" Dia shrieked as the feearow flew her through caves. She tried to remember her way out, but he seemed to be circling do much that she had no hope of ever finding her way back. All too soon, or maybe not soon snough, the fearow landed and began conversing with a Zoroark. Dia was now feeling sick. She threw up her dinner all over the fearow's talon. He shot her a look of disgust as he set her down.
"I warned you," she said weakly. He flew away at that. Dia tried to collect her wits, but all she could do was quake in fear before the Zoroark. She said nothing and backed away from him as he asked who she was. She meowed desperately for the others. Nope, they weren't coming. She was all alone again.
"Di-Dia! I... I don't know... They seem to want me around for...I am their friend," Dia managed to finally say, her voice a mere whisper. She meowed pitifully again.

zapdos926 August 29th, 2011 6:00 PM

Archur felt annoying pricks all over his body, "Gah, it had better not one of you sableyes!" Archur grunted, eyes still closed, blindly swinging at whatever was bothering him. He felt talons against side where Dia was next to him, this opened his eyes immediately. A small group of bird pokemon were flying away from them, "Dia!!!" he called after them, launching a few ice beams, missing each time; they were just too far away for him to hit. He started running as fast as he could, like a gorilla on all fours, chasing after them. The birds dived into a deep cavern, which when Archur got close, he could barely make out the shape of multiple passages in the light of the moon. His first instinct was to use surf to clear out all the passages that were there, but knowing he might drown Dia, he didn't. He had no idea if the others were following him, but he didn't care; he had lost Dia one to many times already. "Dia!!" he called, his voice echoing loudly through the cave.

Megaman765 August 29th, 2011 6:07 PM

Snype continued keeping watch but would never have thought that he would be attacked from the air. He was looking up there but the birds blended well with the night sky. So well he wasn't able to make out what pokemon had attacked. When they got close enough... he got the idea. "Look out! Ow!" Snype yelled out as bird like figures began to peck his head. It caused him to lose balance and fall off the rock on his back. He could see with the glance of his eye that Dia had been snatched by the large figure.

"D...Dia! Ow! Get off you stupid birds!" Snype yelled. the birds were going at extremely quick speeds and pecking everybody at quick speeds, When Snype had good enough timing, he used Flash to blind the birds and send them flying away. The three figures flew away into the night sky, taking Dia with them. They had to act quick...

"...Quick! We gotta fly after them! Hey! Garchomp! Mind if I catch a ride? I can light the way!" Snype asked. He wasn't sure of how Archur would catch up. Snype knew he cared deeply for Dia... Though Archur already went running. "Comon let's fly after them!" Snype said.

luigimario84 August 29th, 2011 11:22 PM

"Sure thing Snype! And my name is Geo." Geo replied as he scooped Snype onto his back. Geo took off after the bird pokemon, gliding across the sky. Snype lit the way as they followed the bird pokemon. He followed them into a cave and stopped suddenly. He noticed the maze before him. "Um, Snype, could you use some of your ghost type powers to locate Dia?"

zapdos926 August 30th, 2011 5:27 AM

Geo landed in front of Archur, startling him. "Hey, watcch we- Oh, Geo, you're back, how nice of you to join us. It will take more than just ghost powers to find Dia, this is a maze, in a cave. She could be five minutes in or 30, we don't know. If we're to find Dia, well why would they take her anyways? If they wanted to do that, they probably shouldn't have been pecking us, just grab n go." Archur thought out loud. "Maybe it's a tribe of umbreon in here, and they just wanted her to join," the reed swampert was thinking hard about how to figure out if Dia was okay. One of the bird pokemon, a fearow, flew out, knocking Archur back, pecked his head and dove back in. Archur was faster to react this time, knocking it down with hydro pump. He pounced on it, ready to rip its skinny head off. "Where's the umbreon, you sick bastard? Where is she?" Archur got straight to the point, makig the bird nervous; he wasn't expecting to be attacked or hit back. "Down the cave," he muttered. "Well no, I would have never guessed that, where the hell is she?" he yelled, hoping the sound of his voice would to Dia and her captures "Get off of me, and I'll show you," the fearow said nervously. "I don't think so," he picked the bird up by his neck and made him face down the cave.

Ann v. August 30th, 2011 2:35 PM

So is this really the one? Is this really the Caro who saved me from the collapsing Cavern? Aki asked herself. Aki has been following Caro for quite some time now, and believes that he may be the Sableye that had saved her. Well there’s only one why to find out. Aki used Attract on the Sableye, It seemed to work at first but then he just shrugged it off and continued what he was doing. This has to be him! Aki said reassuring herself. Just to give him surprise him she teleported right in front of him.

crebirk August 30th, 2011 2:44 PM

(OOC:Nice of you to join us Ann)

Archur was yelling at angrily at a Fearow trying to get information about where Dia was, When suddenly something hit Caro. His emotions started to fall apart, but he pulled himself back together. He didn't want to lose control of himself again. The group was just about to walk into the cave when a Pokemon appeared in front of him and startled Caro. Caro retaliated and used Shadow Punch. The Pokemon fell over and started whimpering. "And what the heck do you thing your doing following us all this time!?" Caro said with a grin.

Megaman765 August 30th, 2011 4:26 PM

Archur seemed to get a good grip on one of the birds that was revealed to be a Fearow. The cave was extremely dark but it wasn't anything Snype couldn't handle. Even with one working eye, the one that still functioned could still light the way. Just as the group began to walk into the cave a Kirlia teleported in front of them. It gave Snype a hell of a jump but Caro retaliated with a Shadow Punch. Well at least he knew who the timid one of the group was.

"Woah woah woah! Way to give us a scare." Snype said to the Kirlia. He offered his hand to help her back up. "Can't say I blame Caro. We're already a bit jumpy as is. Name's Snype. You wouldn't happen to have seen an Umbreon around here have you?" Snype asked.

Ann v. August 30th, 2011 4:56 PM

"Caro that wasn't very nice" Aki said although she knew that she deserved it. "Thank you" she said as Snype helped her up "an Umbreon you say... Yes! While you guys were asleep this Fearow grabbed Her and flew off... Uh he took her to another Pokemon... but I can't Pinpoint her location" She new her telepathy wasn't very good "Caro what happened to your eye!" Aki yelled out in shock seeing the large crack in his eye.

Megaman765 August 30th, 2011 5:10 PM

"W...wha?" Snype said in confusion. He looked at Caro and back. He had his eye cracked as well. Possibly from the fight. Great. So much for being unique from the others. Though if he wanted to run around without his robes, he would look exactly like Caro. Snype almost assumed the Kirlia was talking about him. "Geez Caro, Be glad I got these robes or we would look like twins!" Snype joked. He trecked on into the cave and used flash to emmit a bright light in the cave. The whole thing looked like a labyrinth. "...Heheh... so uh... which way should we go?"

zapdos926 August 30th, 2011 6:04 PM

"You heard the Sableye, tell us!" Archur shook the fearow, ignoring the Kirlia. It squawked a little, and then lead them down in the labyrinth. It didn't actually take too long and they were in a well lit cavern. Dia was sort of crouched in a small pool of her own vomit. He threw the fearow to the ground and over to Dia. "Are you all right?" he washed her off with a gentle spray of water, and turned to the big dark type in the middle of the cavern, "And who the hell do you think you are, kidnapping Dia like that? If you wanted something, then you should've at least done it yourself, instead of sending those pathetic henchmen to do it."

Fort PokePower August 30th, 2011 6:10 PM

Mini lay perfectly still in her cage, on her side with her eyes closed and trying her best to make it look like she wasn't breathing. She was playing dead, hoping that maybe if she put up a good enough act they would take her out to dump her somewhere. There were footsteps and she held her breath, and relaxed her muscles. The echoing sound of feet falling in the corridor stopped in front of her cage. "Hmph... and this one was so entertaining to watch... ah well..." The cage doors opened, making it screeching sound. The moment it was open, Mini Death was upon the human like a thunderbolt, giving no quarter. Before he could even squeal she knocked him out with a Thunder attack. Without even the slightest glance at the other caged pokemon, the Castform glided down the corridor, hiding in the shadows every time she heard someone going by. Finally, she made it out into the fresh, night air. There were some shouts as people behind her as people noticed her empty cage, but she just ignored them and continued on into the moonlit hills surrounding the arena.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Di-Dia! I... I don't know... They seem to want me around for...I am their friend," the Umbreon stuttered quietly, hardly above a whisper. The Zoroark could sense the fear coming off her in waves.

"Don't worry," he said soothingly, almost to soothlingly, in his silky voice. "We aren't going to hurt you. I'm just a curious fellow who likes to learn about new things.

There was a pit-pattering sound behind Dia as a Sneasel came into the room and bowed to the Zoroark before straightening and saying, "Master, they have arrived."

"Good," Zoroark said with a nod. "Let them find us, I want to talk to all of them. See what it is that compels them to group together." His eyes showed that her knew more than he was letting on. The Sneasel bowed out of the room and its feet hitting the cold, stone floor could be heard echoing back. It wasn't long after that the Umbreon's friends entered, the red Swampert immediately going over to her.

"Are you all right?" he washed her off with a gentle spray of water, and turned to the Zoroark, "And who the hell do you think you are, kidnapping Dia like that? If you wanted something, then you should've at least done it yourself, instead of sending those pathetic henchmen to do it."

"You really shouldn't question my motives, Swampert," the Zoroark said as if her were speaking to a child. "I just wanted to talk and it seems the Fearow didn't see any other way of getting you to come."

zapdos926 August 30th, 2011 6:25 PM

"Well, I'm guessing that you had no idea we were even in the area, so why would you want to talk to a group you've never even met?" Archur took an aggressively defensive stance, legs spread wide, but fists on the ground for extra attack support. "Now, if you don't mind, we'll be leaving," Archur started walking slowly backwards, ready to take any attack, and then deliver one of his own if need be. keeping his eyes on the pokemon with a cold glare that was warning him "Don't screw with anyone here or else," ready to take any attack, and then deliver one of his own if need be.

Nideous August 30th, 2011 6:28 PM

If anything, Zoroark's words scared her even more. He had them kidnap her just so he could learn? What did he want to learn about? She meowed quietly and took a few more steps back. She totally freaked when the Sneasel came in. She had the sense to stay right where she was, however.

"What... What do you want from us?" Dia asked timidly as the Sneasel left. Before Zoroark could answer, Archur ran into the room. He washed her off with some kind of water attack and glared at Zoroark, challenging him. No! That was the wrong thing to do! Zoroark was too strong! She could feel it! She yowled at Archur urgently after Zoroark spoke.

zapdos926 August 30th, 2011 6:33 PM

"Dia, calm down. I'm not looking for a fight," Archur whispered to her. "Besides, all of us together could take him," He kept walking backwards, keeping Dia behind one of his arms. "We'll leave peacefully, unless you want other wise. If you don't want to get a personal greeting from a block of ice, you should just shut up, and stay in your hole."

Fort PokePower August 30th, 2011 7:04 PM

A wicked grin spread across Zoroark's face. "Believe me, if you ever even tried to lay a finger on me, you would be dead within ten seconds," he said with what seemed to be amusement in his voice. "There are more pokemon in these tunnels than you think," At that moment, Murdock flew in and bowed.

"Master, the A squadron is ready to do your bidding," he said.

"Have them guard than entrance. We wouldn't want are visitors to feel unprotected, now would we?" he said in a dark tone. The Fearow flew back through the tunnels, leaving the Zoroark with his "guests". The illusionist looked the Swampert in the eyes. "Now, shall we talk or do you truly want to resort to violence?"

Megaman765 August 30th, 2011 7:13 PM

Snype followed the instructions through the maze to eventually find a Zorark. Their species were masters of illusions... from what Snype knew. He looked strong... pokemon in the past tended to be more wild from what he saw. Snype was not looking forward to picking a fight with this guy. Even if they did beat this guy, The others would turn the whole group into mincemeat. Snype decided to step in.

"... Talking works for me. You lead us here for a darn good reason if you aren't going to kill us here. I'm willing to talk it over peacefully. What do you want?" Snype asked.

zapdos926 August 30th, 2011 8:05 PM

"Snype, back out," Archur whispered angrily to the sableye. "If anyone can take a hit, it'll be me." he raised his voice now, talking to the Zoroark. "I'd much rather leave. I said we would leave peacefully if you would let us, but you don seem too fond of that. I know when to stop, so what in Arceus' name do you want with us?"
