"Well," Archur started replying to Dia, "I know I won't drown, the problem is making sure you guys don't, and to do that, I need to learn whirlpool," Archur looked out to the water, swirling away in the distant ocean. Most of what he should normally see, he couldn't see. A thick fog surrounded the islands. If they had a honchcrow or something like that with them that could know defog, it wouldn't be a problem, but they didn't so they would have to make do. Then he turned to Snype, "Well, I could just go practice by myself. If I get sucked down, I can always just swim back up. I'll just do that, and once I get through on my own, I'll put rocks or something on my back to represent you guys until I can make it through with the extra weight," Archur thought his idea was pretty good and was kinda proud of himself. "Dia, will you be okay here if I go to practice right now?"
 
"Yeah, as long as nothing comes along and frightens me, I should be fine," Dia said. She looked up. The sun was still in the sky. Oh well, she needed the healing now. She activated Moonlight, and watched as her golden rings began to glow a pale silver. The healing wasn't that good, but it was enough. Her cuts were finally fully healed, although she still had the scars and the large nick in her ear. Her bones were healed a bit more as well. She got to her feet a little more certainly and walked around, testing her injured limb. She bent down and sniffed the bandage still on her leg. She still needed it on. She suddenly got a really bad feeling about those islands in the distance. She didn't know what it meant.
"I've got a bad feeling about those..." she said quietly as she looked at the islands.
 
"You're not the only one, but it's either there or get eaten by an aggron or three," Archur sighed and walked into teh water. "But imagine if that fog was just surrounding some beautiful paradise? Then we'd be missing out!" Archur called back and swam over to a whirlpool. He wasn't at all prepared and it sucked him down with great force. He came back up, shouting "I'm okay!" to the others. He then swam, more cautiously this time, towards the whirlpool. He managed to swim along the outside, but couldn't break free and was sucked down again. After a few tries of this, he finally made it across. He practiced that a few times until he got it down pat. Then he went over to the beach, picked up Dia in one hand, and a rock in the other. He set the rock down and picked up another, again and again until he found one that was just a little heavier than Dia. He set it on his back when he was in teh water and then practiced going through the whirlpool, repeating the same process as the first time until the rock didn't fall off. He then compared Snype to a few rocks, and repeated the process, he then wieghed Caro, and repeated the process yet again. He soon was able to swim through with all three rocks on his back with out one falling off. He swam back to the shore and collapsed on the sand. It was getting dark again, he closed his eyes and rolled onto his side. "Snype, you've got first watch," he said drowsily and fell asleep.
 
(OOC: I'M BACK!!!!!)
Geo looked around startled by what he could see! There were a group of Gengar surrounding him. "Why did I leave the others?" He asked himself thinking about how stupid he was. Then a thought came into his mind. "Dia, Caro, help!"He shouted into the sky. He knew it wouldn't work. If it did, the Gengar would already of killed him. He looked around hoping he would be heard. Then all the Gengar pounced on Geo. He was now just a pile of Gengar. Suddenly he had an idea. He used dig and quickly darted to the left avoiding the gengar who slowly fell into the hole. He came out the ground and covered the hole so they couldn't get out. Geo sighed happily and headed back to where he had last seen Caro, Dia and the others hoping they would find him aswell.
 
Dia's ears perked up. She thought she had heard someone calling for help. She got to her feet and began sniffing the air. She could smell... The Garchomp that had brought her and Caro to meet the others? She looked around. No one else had seen, smelled, or heard anything. She supposed that Umbreons just had sharper senses than Sableye and Swamperts.
"I'll be back soon. I just have to check on something," Dia said as she walked away, following the scent. She soon came upon some Geo walking away from an odd looking patch of ground. She hid in the shadow's to make sure she wasn't seen. Several Gengar came floating through the ground. Stupid ghosts. Dia shook her head. She was feeling pretty strong, so she decided she might as well take care of them. She stepped out into the moonlight behind Geo and stared the ghosts down as he walked away. They looked at her and started laughing. She was anything but amused. She focused her energy and blasted one of them with Faint Attack. He immediately fainted from the super effective hit. The rest charged at her and she activated Detect, dodging their swipes and Shadow Balls. She used Psychic and Faint Attack and fought them off. The ones she didn't knock out fled. She turned and walked back to Geo.
"Next time you throw ghosts down a hole, make sure they can't float and phase through dirt," she said as she calmly walked past him back to where the others were sleeping.
 
(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.)
 
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.

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?"
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
((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))

(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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
"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?"
 
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.
 
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.
 
(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.
 
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.
