Rise of the Shadows!

[Magnakilro]

Chomp and Co. followed after Baaz, trying to keep up.

[Lupis]

Scarab examined Solara thoughtfully. The voices had a quick conversation, ignoring the owl and talking only of the Espeon. Finally they had Scarab speak. "You again wish to join usss. Ssspeak your reasonss."

Hands twisted, trying to get a good look at Scarab. She hooted plaintively, her heart falling when he didn't even look down.

[Azunara]

Zerak was pricking his ears, trying to find Summer. Then again, if they didn't want to be found, there wasn't much he could do. His senses were nowhere near as sharp as his sister's, with her whole nifty wind thing. Then again, she couldn't make rings glow and petrify their enemy. Feeling more optimistic, he continued looking.

---

Aurora tried to keep up, but with flippers, was having issues. Cro kept pace with the others, panting slightly.

---

Solara bristled slightly, replying, "I'm more like the Dusk than anything else. No matter what happens, they can cure me as many times as they like, I will always be Dusk. I've fought, thought, acted like one, dark furred or not. Besides, they're traitors, the Dawn. They attacked me, provoked me, and they've always feared or hated me. How am I supposed to trust those who would rather see me dead?" It seemed weak, and she flicked her tail.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost let out a squeak and un-faded as Iron bumped into her then picked her up, "I-Iron?"

Rust squeaked happily as he snuggled up against his mom, nuzzling her.

-----

((Oooh.. Venin. You sure hit the nail on the head there....))

Butterfly blinked at Venin, then glanced backwards at her little brother, Mercury, who was cowering close to the ground, looking insanely nervous. She looked back at the Dusk Vaporeon. She.. Was right. The only reason why the others stayed with Phantom was out of fear of how he'd react to them leaving.. And Butterfly only stayed to make sure Phantom didn't bully the rest of them. In truth.. Pretty much all of what Venin said was true.

-----

"Finally we get going!!" Arinei cheered, grinning in anticipation as he, Rikki and Hanaki followed Baaz.

((... Why do my Firefly Fields trio (Rikki, Hanaki and Arinei) all have their names end in 'I'? XD))

[Kira]

Ciro began to jump around Ledora as they were moving, smiling at his little sister, then frowning. "Hey dad...maybe Ledora should go stay with Cameo and Hail.."
Ledora blinked, her head tilting.

Kyuu looked at Remi, then Mewtwo, who let out a sigh as he nodded. "Deoxys..if you send Ledora, could you send my son as well? I don't want him anywhere near this." Mewtwo rubbed the top of Remi's head as he spoke.

--

Ikis scowled as he finally stepped out of the trees. Now what was going on?

[rubybeam]

Victini watched the group passing by in a tree why did they have to come? well now she'll have to kill them..... she started to charge up power charging fire her speed incrased she shot the fire out at baaz and the others

Victini used nitro charge!

[Lupis]

Scarab nodded. "And yet the reasonss do not matter. What matterss iss if I can trussst you. You've convincced Delrokx of your loyalty, an impresssive feat... But I am not decccided." He glanced at Ikis. Another Dusk he wasn't sure if he trusted.

Summer was in the meadow, looking up at the sky. It was so calm here. She smiled, shaking out her fur. She looked down at Hallow. "Want an apple?"

[Magnakilro]

Iron began to purr as he hugged Ghost tightly and nuzzled and licked her.

Soundwave floated nearby, next to Julius, "Family reunions....always heartwarming..."

-----

Chomp spotted the flames and yelled out, "LOOK OUT!"

He jumped in the way, taking the attack easily.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost nuzzled Iron, "I'm sorry I ran off.... I'm sorry I acted so horribly earlier...." She said, whimpering slightly.

-----

Rikki skidded to a halt, staring in the direction the flames came from, "What the hell was that?!"

[rubybeam]

Victini hissed. chomp, the damned water type....She needed to take him down first.. he focused her mind trying to confuse chomp with a psyhic attack wwhen also trapping chomp in a torrent of fire

Victini used confusion!
Victini used purgatory!



Hallow nodded "Yeah! I never tried one before how do they taste? are they as soft as berries?"

[Magnakilro]

Chomp roared as the attacks land, causing him to stagger a bit.

He started spinning, causing a Whirlpool to clear the flames.

-----

Iron replied by scratching, "Its ok Ghost.....I'm just happy to be with you again....so is little Rust!"

[Moonlost]

Dr. Insins sighed happily, feeling proud of himself despite that a lot of work loomed ahead. And his ankle was less painful too. it still hurt when he tried putting much weight on it, but not nerly as bad as it had been.
He expected Scarab would send in somebody else to be infect with G-Dusk, as he decided to call it now, so he hobbled back to his work lab, where he grabbed a fresh needle and filled it with the inky black solution.
"Just what wonders will you create next?" He murmured softly, his mind trying to imagine what the next evolution of various pokemon species could be.

Baaz looked behind, slowing his pace a little to make it easier on those who needed it. He gasped as Victini attacked, charging forward to stand next to Chomp.

"Keep going!" He called out. "Escort the young to safety!"

He turned to look at Chomp. "Wasn't he with us at one point? None-the-less, let's try not to hurt him, it could just be the voices tating control."

~

((Venin is suddenly ghost-hugged by Ghost? XD I can imagine her loving this if she could see it.))

Venin grinned, although it felt like a hollow victory. All groups were the same. The Hounds had been scared of Seventeen's wrath, The Dusk were scared of Scarab. The Sunrise had their cat-fox thing, hell the Dawn probably stuck together only because of that space virus thing. Why would anyone stay together, if not for fear? She turned to look at Phantom, glaring at him, waiting to see what he would do next.

[rubybeam]

Victini hissed in annoyance yet again she rarely had any non-fire attacks she curled up into a ball her body glowed an orange colour before going completely on fire the tree she was sitting on suddenly turned on fire infecting nereby tree's with it's flame she then quickly charged at chomp only using the attack as a resource to burn chomp

Victini used ball of flame!
Victini used quick attack!

[Senna-Umbreon]

((Ghost probably would love to see Phantom get totally owned like this.. XD))

Phantom snorted, glaring at his siblings, "Go on. Leave. I couldn't care less. It'll just be one less thing holding me back..." He smirked, growling.

Butterfly blinked at Phantom, surprised to hear what he had just said. She stayed silent and turned to pad over to the rest of her siblings, Streak hesitantly following her.

-----

"R-really? You're not mad?" Ghost blinked up at Iron, looking worried, "But... Even if you're not mad.. The others hate me now, don't they?"

[Moonlost]

Baaz jumped in the way of Victini, grunting as the small pokemon slammed into him and letting the embers of the attack wash over his body, fueling him.

Baaz's Flash Fire kicks in!

[Magnakilro]

Chomp sighed, "How do we stop her?"

Deoxys looked at the children, "We have to get you all out of here...."

[Moonlost]

"I wish I knew." Baaz sighed. "Mayhaps we could place her into sleep, take her with us and see if we can get her cured. I just hope this rage isn't a result of anything we've done to her in the past."

[rubybeam]

Victini snarled in displeasure seeing how her attacks didn't work she aimed for a different opponet, her red eye's set on rikki. she had plenty of nice fur to burn up but first... she needed to deal with the croc first! she immdeatly slammed into chomp whinceing as she took damage from her own tackle
Victini used double edge!

[Kira]

Ciro let out a whimper as he looked at his father. "But we can help dad...really! Watch! Hey Ketsin!"
Ketsin smiled and focused, placing shields around nearly everyone there.

[Senna-Umbreon]

"Grrr... As much as I hate doing this..." Rikki muttered, launching herself at Victini, claws extended.

Rikki used Crush Claw!
