"We've been human and Pokemon. We go turned into Pokemon during the day, maybe something else happens during new moon or something.. Like turning into a plant.. Or waffles.." Marc joked with Radian, and surprised with the randomness of his statement, she began laughing ecstatically, nearly stopping in her tracks on the Beach and falling over on her side. Continuing in their little trek, she grinned, mouth wide open as she wiped a few tears from her eyes.
"Waffles certainly do sound a lot yummier than Werepokemon." Radian admitted, licking her lips as discreetly, her stomach began to growl.
"At least if you transformed into Waffles, I wouldn't be hungry anymore.." She reasoned lightly, winking over at him.
"Sure, i'd be out a partner, but at least I wouldn't be doing a rescue mission on an empty stomach!" As if to provide evidence, her stomach gave a loud growl, and she laughed, cheeks flushing a bit pink.
"I suppose I shouldn't have skipped out on Breakfast." she chuckled. "Or Lunch! It's really going to suck if we have to miss Dinner too.."
For a few moments, it was completely silent, but not the awkward, uncomfortable silence everyone dreads between two people (or pokemon in this case). Radian and Marc had lapsed into a comfortable, peaceful type of silence, each lost in their own thoughts about the upcoming rescue mission and simply enjoying the scenery of the Beach as they walked along side by side. Finally, Marc informed Radian that Drenched Bluff was only a few minutes away from where they were at.
Oh good! Thought Radian as she trained her eyes to the path straight in front of her. The sand was scorching hot beneath the sensitive pads of her paws, and she now found herself hopping around every five or so steps.
Hopefully the floor of the Dungeons will be cool. Like a cave.. Radian had never been inside a Dungeon before, but she had been inside plenty of caves, and though she hated more than anything the solid darkness of the places, she knew that as a general rule their interiors were always cool. Radian snuck a look back over at Marc, and saw that he was smiling at her. Radian felt a cold sweat break out across her forehead, and shakily she smiled back, feeling like a complete moron.
He must've heard every word I thought! She laughed. He's probably not used to reading such stupid, spontaneous thougts. Maybe that's why he's smiling..
But Radian had no further time to be self-conscious, as they had apparently reached their destination.
"Well, here it is!" Radian exclaimed in a jolly tone, trying to keep their spirits up as they stood before the dark mouth of the bluff. She had felt so confident when they were leaving the Wigglytuff Guild and on their way over here, but now felt anxiety begin to set in, as the cool air from inside seemed to be beckoning the pair in.
I think i'll take my chances with the hot sand.. She thought, gulping nervously, as unsure, she glanced up at Marc.
"Right.. Here we go then.." She muttered, muscles beginning to quiver a bit as they stepped inside the Bluff's dark interior. Immediately upon entering the dim room of the Bluff, Radian noticed a staircase leading downward. She sighed apprehensively, her stomach feeling like jell-o as they stepped further into the Dungeon.
"I guess we need to make our way--!!!" Radian didn't even have time to finish her thought before a black and yellow blur passed before the two, and something quickly knocked her down to the hard stone floor. Her heart beginning to race, Radian tried to scream, let out any sort of notification, but the fall had knocked the wind from her, and she couldn't seem to be able to mutter even a tiny squeak.
"Marc!" She cried out, squinting desperately, glancing blindly around, unable to see a thing because her eyes hadn't yet adjusted from the brightness of the day outside, to the near pitch-blackness of this Dungeon. She heard various scratching and scuffling sounds taking place around her, yet she couldn't see a thing, so she had no clue as to what was taking place. Suddenly, a strange pulse of yellow burst forth, and for a second or two, the whole area was lit up. From the ground, Radian noticed Marc standing directly in front of her, bravely facing the Pokemon which resembled a plug which might go into an outlet, solid yellow with black stripes.
He must be an electric type.. Radian thought instantly, as a sort of singed scent met her sensitive nostrils.
Quickly, she jumped up, wondering what she had been hit with to knock her to the ground. It was then that she remembered.
Marc's a Totodile! He's a water type! Water is weak to electric attacks! He could get seriously hurt! Though one might think that that wouldn't be too big of a deal, what with Radian's healing abilities and all, Radian could only heal physical injuries (scorches, burns, gashes, bruises etc) she was completely powerless when it came to HP.
"Watch out!" She cried desperately as the strange electric-type pokemon clenched his fists, squeezing his eyes shut as he charged for another electrical attack. Quickly, she leapt up, throwing herself in front of Marc as boldly, she glared at the electric-type, who looked down upon her with disdain, and smirked. He let loose a powerful Thundershock, roaring as he did so, and as the electric pulses surged toward them, Radian exerted all her energy, and felt an unusual sensation rushing from her body. She had no clue what she had done, but the electric spiraled away from the two, bouncing harmlessly over what appeared to be an invisible shield. Radian had no idea, but she had just used "Protect".
"What happened?" She asked meekly, looking warily behind her at Marc.
