Rise of the Shadows!

[rubybeam]

The pichu immdeatly relaxed enoying it's fur being stroked 'I love you mommy!"

[Azunara]

Solara tilted her head at Zerak, "It's good to see you again. It's been...lonely. Shadwyn died a few years ago. I have friends though, you should come with me to meet them." She said cheerfully. Zerak gave a wicked grin, "Aaaw. Is my ickle sister getting all soft on me?" He taunted, and Solara lashed at him, "Be quiet, idiot!" She said, grinning.

[Kira]

Delora winced and tilted her head a bit. "Ouch..looks pretty painful.." She looked up at Phalanx after looking over the wound. "Humans?"

[Senna-Umbreon]

"Okay!" Ghost turned and batted a few more Sitrus Berries off of the tree. She was about to grab a rather large berry and eat it, when she got a strong whiff of that familiar scent again, ".... Why do I keep smelling this scent..? It makes no sense for them to be here.... Maybe it's because of those stupid illusions that the cat-thing made that I'm starting to mistake the scent of other Eeveelutions for them.... But.. I'd better check anyway..." She crept along the branches of the tree, then faded as she got to the other side of it, where the scent seemed strongest. A few yards away, in a rather large clearing, were a group of Eeveelutions. They were missing Umbreon, which honestly didn't surprise Ghost, but what did was the.. Dusk Flareon amongst them.
"... Ohcrapohcrapohcpracdskdhjxhjghxd" She yelped, scrambling back through the branches to where she had originally been, then leapt down out of the tree and ran over to Iron.

----

Phantom flicked his ears. He could have sworn he heard something in a nearby tree... But when he turned to look at the Sitrus Tree, there was nothing. But he DID pick up a rather familiar scent...

Butterfly also picked up the scent, and shuddered slightly, 'Oh great Ho-Oh.. I was afraid we'd end up running into her at some point...' She thought, glancing from Phantom to the tree he was staring at.

[Magnakilro]

Arachne couldn't help but smile, "I love you too cutie..."

-----

Phalanx sighed, "It happened years ago...back at a farm run by a feraligatr named Chomp. These two were still very young. A poacher walked onto the premises, looking to take my daughters away for his own selfish deeds....I was still a Shieldon then....I attacked the poacher, but was shot in the ribs. I charged...the pain was excruciating...but I didn't care....I wanted my little girls back....During the charge, I evolved. I slammed into the poacher. I stomped him till he was unrecognizeable.....I refuse to let the wound heal as a sign of my dedication to protecting my little girls...."

----

Iron looked at her, "Something rong?" he scratched

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost nodded, glancing nervously back towards the clearing, "Yesthereis! AndweshouldreallygetoutofhereRIGHTNOW!"

[Azunara]

The pair drew closer to the camp, and Sol stiffened. Zerak tilted his head, flicking his ears. "Shh." Sol said quiet, "I sense...Ghost and Iron, but there's others too. Follow me, and stay low," She said, immediately sounding like her older self. She slunk along the bushes, Zerak flanking her as the pair wound their way to Ghost and Iron.

[Kira]

"Awww, that's so-wait. Chomp? You know Chomp? Oh that's a little creepy." Delora said as she blinked. "I can't blame you for what you did to save your daughters...if my babies were in trouble..well..let's just say, it would not be pretty."

[Magnakilro]

Iron sniffed. He turned in the direction of the scent, letting out a low growl.

-----

Phalanx smiled, "When I was young...I had no home....Chomp provided that home for me...."

[Kira]

"Sometimes I think that guy is too nice." Delora said with a little laugh. "But, then again..if it wasn't for him, quite a lot would be different.."

[Magnakilro]

Phalanx smiled, "Chomp is a very inspiring lizard...I just wonder what made him the way he is..."

[Kira]

"I know Rikki had a hand in it." Delora said as she looked ahead. "You can always ask him if you want to."

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost whimpered slightly, "I told you.. We should really go back to the others..."

----

Phantom kept staring in the direction of the scent. After a few seconds, he saw movement beyond the trees. He glanced back at his family, "I'll be back soon." He started walking towards the Sitrus Tree, then leapt up into its branches and climbed around them till he caught a glance of two Pokemon down below near a different tree. A Rampardos and an.. Umbreon. So he had been right.. It was her... Perfect.

[Azunara]

Solara hissed, moving quicker. The scent was stronger, and she leaped into the clearing, "Ghost?" She hissed, "It's me, Sol! There's others here." Zerak followed, tense, ready to fight.

[Senna-Umbreon]

"Yeah I know... That's why I want to head back to the others.. Like.. Right now.." Ghost whimpered, fur standing on end.

[Magnakilro]

Iron looked in the tree seeing a Dusk Flareon. His growling increased in volume.

[Azunara]

Solara lashed her tail, "Let them come," She stretched, but added, "If you're that worried though, we should go..."

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost squeaked and hid behind Iron, "Eep.."

--

Phantom blinked at the Rampardos. Hm, it seemed rather.. Protective of the Umbreon. He growled, leaping down out of the tree, "Well well, if it isn't my little sister..." He sneered, glaring at Ghost, "I'm slightly surprised you're still alive. Oh well.."

[Azunara]

Solara snarled, "Hurt her and we'll all fight. Do you really want to take those odds?" She asked, tail lashing. Zerak gave a growl, muscles tense, ready to spring.

[Magnakilro]

Iron stood in a battle-ready stance between Ghost and Phantom. He roared loudly
