Cursed

[~Ozy~]

Over the years, the greatest minds in Johto, Kanto, and Hoenn have wondered what force created Pokemon. Was it a freak accident of eolution, similar to the one that gave rise to the birth of humans? The intelligent design of some creator-god. An unknown mutenogen. Most modern people take the first view. They're dead wrong.

Archeologists recently discovered ancient tablets referring to a city named Shadar Logoth, and within it, and ancient evil known as Mashadar. It drove the citizens of Shadar Logoth, once known as Aridhol mad, turning neighbor against neighbor. They eventually developed odd features and abilities. wings, fire breath, telekinesis. Their appearances began to change. The slowly became Pokemon, driven to a more primal state by Mashadar's curse. Oddly enough, once the change was complete, they became docile Occasionally, others have found Shadar Logoth and fell victim to the ancient evil within, creating new breeds of Pokemon.

You don't know any of this. Archaeology is boring to a high-school student on a camping trip with their friends (yes, we do all know each other). You have no idea that the ruin of a city is anywhere near your hometown, much less one that can change who you are completely. All you need is a place to get out of the rain when your tent gets blown over in a storm. Poor you...

[~Ozy~]

I dusted my hands off as I crawled out of my tent. It was a one person thing, but perfect for me. Setting my pack down outside it, I looked around at the rest of the people on our trip. We were the Outdoors club of Naxos High School and it was just summer. School was out, so we didn't have to deal with all those annoying regulations anymore. That, and the weather seemed nice enough. it was about noon, now. I'd already finished half my lunch, the air up here tended to make one hungry. Still, there was time for a quick hike to a waterfall I'd seen before before lunch.

 

[Kurosaki]

"GAH!" was heard in the distance, followed by a definate "SPLASH!" Yes, I had stupidly fallen into the river, while trying one of my nature loving stunts. I had found a frog sitting in the middle of the river, its leg apparently broken from the way it was swimming. I had grabbed a stick, and tried to lift it out, before I lost my footing on a wet rock and slipped in.

"C... cold..." I muttered, as I climbed out, not wet and filthy.

 

[~Ozy~]

I sighed as I heard the splah. there went my hike. Even in the summer, hypothermia was a danger up here. I darted off towards the river, moving at a light jog. When I got there, I slapped my head into my hands and said "David, you idiot. How many times have we told you? First, the bird on the Bierstadt hike, then there was the bloody squrill, now this. Honestly, what was it this time? A gnat?"

 

[Kurosaki]

"A frog..." I muttered, pink with embarrassment. I was used to it now, the critisizm, I got it a lot back at school. Honestly, if we don't save our planet, the planet won't save the human race in return. "It had a broken leg, I couldn't just let it swim out there alone, it would get washed downstream with that nasty current!"

 

[Mari]

Miki was playing on top a tree, as usual, when she spotted David. He seemed like he was trying to get a frog and help it or something, just like he always does. She then jumped off the tree, hoping she could surprise him, and rushed towards him. Before she could reach him, David abruptly fell in the river and she spotted Ozy, heading towards him.

She giggled childishly as she got a clearer view of the pink David and, after making her way towards them, she continuosly poked him. "Blushing again~!" She exclaimed teasingly, grinning goofily.

 

[~Ozy~]

"Idiot" I muttered. It was friendly, though, I kinda shared his views. "C'mon, let's get you back to camp. Remember the last time someone fell into a creek?" I grinned a little at the memory, that someone was me. we were playing tag in th middle of a creek and I slipped on a log, falling in. Thankfully, there'd been a shower nearby that I could warm up in. The next year, I'd fallen in a lake while canoeing. I seemed to have horrible luck around water. I glanced quickly at the skyline. it looked like a storm was brewing. Still, it was far off and the wind was blowing it away from us, I wasn't worried.

 

[Kurosaki]

"Be quiet you..." I muttered as I shot Miki a glance, and began to walk towards the camp then. "Okay, I don't want to catch a cold on this trip." I said, trying to keep a positive attitude as I noticed the storm clouds on the horizon. I hope they didn't hit us today, a little tent isn't very much protection.

 

[Dragon Paw]

Kristen sat in her tent deep in thought. She aws re-living her past. She felt scared being away from home and missed her parents dearly already. Kristen sighed and wodnered what to do after she snapped otu of a thought when her and her brother had been climbing fences and disturbing the neighbors. Kristen walked out of her tent and look around. It was a nice summer day to most, though derpessing to kristen. She liked cloudy days.

 

[Mari]

"Nya~!" Miki exclaimed as she stuck out his tongue at him and continued on giggling.

When Ozy had stated that David should go back to camp, Miki rapidly climbed on top of the tree and searched for the vine she was playing with earlier. When she had spotted it, she grinned broadly and grasped the vine tightly. Without hesitating any longer, she leaped off the branch of the tree, her grip on the vine loosening slightly.

 

[Deoxys55]

As usual, Nekhbet was sitting right outside her tent, propped up again a tree, drawing.
"Stay still." she growled, though she doubted the squirel could understand. It looked up for a moment, squeaked slightly in it's throat, and scampered up to the safety of a tree. Groaning in frustration, she packed up her drawing tools and book togather, and was putting them back into her backpack when she heard the splash.
"Not again." she sighed, though she was grinning.

 

[Flygon trainer]

I watched this in silence, thinking. I noticed an oddly colored rock on the riverbed, but if I went to try and collect it, I'd get yelled at again. both by David for "harming the envorment" and probably by Ozy for "wasting time" I sighed, wondering what was the point of time if I couldn't research dinosaurs. But, the group had stopped too... I looked between Ozy and David to the fossil, then back. Finally, I got to my feet, getting out my X-acto knife, and beginning to work at the dirt around the fossil, trying to get it loose. It was like trying to dig to the other side of the world with a toothpick, but I had all the paitence in the world when it came to fossils.

 

[~Ozy~]

I chuckled at the sight, coming around the trail and into the cleared dirt area we'd set up in. I asked, raising my voice a little to be heard "Anyone bring a blanket or towel. David pulled a David again." I was used to gently teasing people like that, most of them understood I was joking around with no real harm in mind. I jogged over to my pack, and loosening the straps, pulled out the small combination hatchet/shovel I carried with me. The thing had always proven useful. I started searching for reasonably sized dead logs to start a fire with.
