Rise of the Shadows!

[Kamalia]

Golden yellow eyes slid open. Reese moaned, slowly sitting up.
"Note to self: Stay on the ground when at risk of sudden sleep." He gingerly got up, rubbing his backside and blinking his tired eyes. Bad sleep, loud noises, attacks... when could a guy get a break? He studied the battle for a brief moment, then slunk into the crowd of Dusk.

"Yes, yes, okay, I'll play with you!" Molly got up, trying to keep her balance from the constant shoving and nudging of the little Unowns. She glanced at Nightmare. "So, uh, tag it is I suppose? Or do you want to play something else, little ones?"

[Magnakilro]

The unowns thought for a second, and nodded, "HIDE AND SEEK!"

The unowns started spinning around Molly excitedly.

[Kamalia]

Molly felt slightly dizzy from watching the little Pokémon spinning around. "Right then. Hide and seek it is."

[Azunara]

((Yay! Solara the eevee is now Solara the espeon! *dances.*))

Speck continued looking. She could've sworn she saw the toxicroak, but it was a brief glimpse and then he was gone. She sighed darkly, returning. "Haven't seen the staraptor yet. I found Eleredar. He's with that huge mass over there, near their leader. And I thought I saw the toxicroak. So, it's not a good outcome."

[Saturo]

Darkrai was in shadowform on the ground, so the attacks simply bounced right of him. He disappeared into the forest, circled around and came back to the Dusk camp from behind.

[Magnakilro]

The Unowns stopped and stared at her, "YOUR IT!"

The giggled.

-------

Soundwave looked around, "Keep the Uproar going Hands! Your doing great!"

Soundwave looked behind him, "Darkrai...you must have a death wish coming her alone!"

[Kamalia]

"Oh, um, okay..." She paused.
"You count, Molly. They hide. You finish counting. You find them. It's something called..." Olivia spread her claws out. "FUN!"
"..."
"Give it a try, it won't hurt."
"I know how to play the game, Olivia."
"Sure, sure."
The Gardevoir shook her head, then covered her eyes and began counting.

Reese stood on tiptoe trying to see past the tall Pokémon in front of him. He grumbled under his breath, then bounced up and down above the heads of the other Dusk, trying to catch a glimpse of what they were attacking. "What are you idiots riled up for? There's nothin' here!"

[rubybeam]

Nightmare went and hid in a tree just for the heck of it after all they wanted him to play to

[Lupis]

Hands nodded and continued the Uproar.

Scarab glanced down at the humans in his ranks and hissed loudly. He had been working on using simple sounds as orders instead of words. At his command they turned towards the re-appearing Darkrai and threw Pokeballs to the ground, releasing Dusk large and small. Several faded and came up behind the Legendary while others charged from the front.
He turned to the confused masses of Dusk and gestured towards Darkrai, yelling an order. "Turn!!"

Summer glanced around, looking indecisive. "I'm not sure... I think we can get to them if... Jaws, could you grab one from underneath the ground and bring them here somehow? If that's even possible." She grimaced, hating feeling useless.

[Magnakilro]

The unowns giggled.

The K hid in Terra's hair.

The ? hid inside a hole in a tree.

----

Jaws nodded, "I'll try...which one do you want me to snag...FeatherPuss? or the Leader?"

[rubybeam]

Larry soon appered snarling with hostility he charged towards darkrai each of his assorted legs hitting the ground one after the other as he ran

[Kamalia]

"Eh?" Reese glanced over his shoulder, eyes widening at the sight of a massive shadow passing along the ground, coming right for them. He whirled around. He inhaled deeply, then spat out a large hunk of poisonous, gummy phlegm onto the ground. He scooped some mud around it, then picked it up. He bounced high into the air and hurled it at the shadow.

Reese used Gunk Shot!

Molly finished counting and removed her hands from her eyes. Her smile faded slightly. Oops. She didn't think how being able to sense intense emotions would affect the game... and these little Unown were rather intensely happy. She rubbed the back of her neck as she clearly picked out their locations. She shrugged and headed in the opposite direction, peering behind trees and bushes.

[Azunara]

Speck peered high above, blinked, and rushed back down, scowling, "Darkrai's here. And he's causing quite a bit of trouble. I'll see what I can do to help out?" She suggested, then, without much waiting for an answer, faded again, darting towards the mass.

---

Ravynira, perched on Terra's shoulder, blinked at the unown. She tilted her head, giving a quiet chirp of confusion, then decided not to say anything further. Ace was grinning at the little creature.

[Magnakilro]

The Unown looked at Ravyn, "Shhhhhhhhh...."

[Kamalia]

"Come out, come out, wherever you are!" Molly sang, inching toward the ? Unown's hiding place. She paused right in front of it. She grinned, then walked past it, inches away.

[Magnakilro]

The Unown giggled quietly.

[Azunara]

Speck looked over the mass, and seeing that making them sleep would be useless, she summoned specters that lashed out at nearby Dusk. She pressed herself back into the shadows, fading, trying to remain unnoticed.

Speck used Night Shade!

[Saturo]

((Darkrai is still in shadowform...))
Darkrai flitted up onto Larry.
"My only deathwish is for you. Please, strike. I'm sure this... Thing won't mind."

[rubybeam]

Larry snarled struggling "Using someone as a shield is poor"

[Kamalia]

"Hi Nightmare." Molly poked her head around the tree and tapped him on the shoulder.

Reese yelped as an attack hit him. He whirled around in a circle, trying to locate who hit him. Left, right, in front, behind... even up, he couldn't see anything. Bah. If only that Buizel were here. He had a nose on him, he could sniff it out. Only thing useful he did, besides being bait.

Julius stirred and lifted his head. He yawned, got up, and gave a long stretch. He gave Terra's hair a curious look, and trotted up to her. He hesitantly poked at the little black stick-like thing peeking out of her hair.
