Rise of the Shadows!

[Kira]

Delora did smile that time, letting out a little laugh. "Don't worry about it. It was the Dusk, not you. I'm just glad your on our side now...I like my ribs whole."

[Magnakilro]

Ironskull smiled and nuzzled the Absol, making an almost purr-like noise.

Soundwave chuckled, "He's like a giant powerful kitten when you get to know him..."

[Kira]

"I'm not sure if I think that's cute or a little odd...I'm going to go with cute for now." Delora said as she smiled at Ironskull.
Ciro peeked up at the big pokemon, staring at his skull.

[Magnakilro]

Soundwave flew near Ciro, "Scratch him under the chin...he loves that!"

[Kira]

Ciro glanced at the bug, then at his mother, then back at the big guy. He moved his paw out and gave a tiny little scratch under his chin.

[Magnakilro]

Ironskull purred louder and leaned slightly towards Ciro's paw.

[Kira]

Ciro let out a little giggle and kept scratching his chin. "This is kinda funny!"

[Magnakilro]

Soundwave smiled, he flew near Ciro's ear, "Wanna know something interesting about his species?" he whispered.

[Lupis]

Summer yawned and stretched. She had done a lot of thinking and had come to a conclusion - everyone was depressed enough at the moment and walking around all mopey and guilty would only hurt the situation. They needed to think clearly and capture Scarab before things got very bad indeed. As long as nobody killed the Kabutops, everything would work out. Turning away from the river, she trotted back to camp, giving Ghost a friendly nod.
"Sorry about disappearing. I have a bit of a plan to perhaps help end all this... It's a bit risky, and it might not work, but it's better then nothing." She glanced around. "Where's Speck?"

[Magnakilro]

Jaws looked at her, "She left to do something...I dunno what..."

[Kira]

Ciro blinked at Soundwave, still scratching. "Sure!"

[Azunara]

Solara blinked, "She disappeared...She didn't go with Daray, either. That's...not good. Should we be worried?"

Dialga stretched, thoughtful. "She could just want to be by herself. Then again, she's been gone for a while." Eleredar growled, unfurling his wings, ready to look for her.

---

Speck gave a slight nod to the Unown, and then peered at the masses of Dusk, giving a shudder. She had been an idiot, letting them take control. Such an idiot! She hoped they'd forgive her for what she did. She should've been with Chomp, comforting him. Instead, she was trying to get herself killed.

[rubybeam]

Somna looked at lilith "It's nothing don't worry about it.."

[Saturo]

The Unown quickly whipped up a shield around itself and Speck, and it started reflecting light just as the rest of the Unown teleported in and conjured a massive flash of light.
Unown used Flash!
"Get ready, this could turn violent!", it said, and joined the rest of the Unown in a summoning circle. A massive Steelix appeared.

[rubybeam]

Larry walked around tryint to get to see again the flash had blinded his one eye for now

[Azunara]

((Ha! The Steelix comes again!))

Speck nodded, her shades appearing by her side again, ready to defend herself and the Unown. She looked at the Dusk, and felt a small bit of confidence coming back. She wasn't going to die here. The stupid voices were wrong. They did care for her. After all, they came to her aid. She grinned wickedly, ready for a fight.

((Yay Unown for bring old Speck back! *hugs them.*))

[Saturo]

The massive Steelix roared, and lashed out at random dusk.

[rubybeam]

Buzzcut sighed 'Bolt while you two where gone you have no idea how much things happened on the farm.." bolt looked at the breedrill "What da ya mean? it's only been two days"
"exacatly"
"?"
"balance evolved and seems a bit more mature, the syther and togepi eggs hatched as well as the shello's one you two should come back for saftey and so no big suprizes happen.."

[Lupis]

Scarab sighed. Oh, no. Not that idiotic beast again. He hissed to get the attention of the Dusk, then delivered a truly withering glare. They were not to fall in love with it like last time, the fools. He clacked in the back of his throat and gestured at the steelix, making a circling motion in the air. At his command all Fire-type Dusk that could get close formed a loop around the Steelix and began spewing huge plumes of fire at the group.
All Dark or Ghost-type Dusk began to gather.
Scarab smirked. He wasn't letting them get away this time. Blue and Red the bodyguard Machamps looked extremely tense and alert, just begging for something to try and attack their master.

Summer winced. "She's not around? I hope she isn't doing something foolish..."

[Azunara]

Speck growled, and hummed, trying to buy the Steelix time. She leaped into the fray, smashing into foes, her Shades lashing violently. They strangled a few Dusk, and shadow claws ripped apart a few more.

Speck used Shadow Claw!
Speck used Night Shade!
