Rise of the Shadows!

[rubybeam]

Thunder who was watching from a distance sneered in disgust "Stupid things.. falling for friendship!"



The lights turned on the the kitchen as a zoroark and a houndoom/mareep hybrid entered they seemed to be carrying plenty of food supplies from fish to apples the zoroark soon nodiced molly and daray "OHHHHHH! whats this we have visitors~"

[Senna-Umbreon]

"It's times like these that I wonder why I'm putting up with you..." Phantom said, then grinned and pounced on Venin, pinning her down to the ground.

[Kamalia]

Julius breathed a sigh of relief at the reunion.

--

Molly smiled at the little purple monkey, bringing up Apple and rubbing her nose against his. I'm sure he'd love to. She held up the cake mix box and tapped the picture of the finished dessert. "This is what we're making, Apple. Looks yummy, doesn't it?" She told him cheerfully. "Holly here-" She gestured at the girl. "Wants to make it. Want to help?" She glanced up at the Zoroak and the Houndoom/Mareep. "Oh, are you two Demon and Rain? I hope you don't mind the use of your kitchen. The little one here wanted to do some baking."

[rubybeam]

Apple stared at the cake squealing with delight "please!" he said really excited to eat the cake after it was done being made rain blinked now reconising molly "crrraaaaappppp now the dawn know I betrayed them" she blushed heavily embarssed "go ahead. but I need to stay here awhile"

[Moonlost]

"Let's see," Venin grinned as she looked up at him, once again figthing against the blush that was starting to appear on her cheeks. "I'm rather stunning for a vaporeon if I say so myself, you secretly enjoy being taunted and mocked. Oh, and I save your sorry ass on regular occassion."

~

"We're gonna make the best cake ever!" Holly grinned, Opening up the packet and pulling out everything inside. "You'd never know a yummy cake can be made from this plain floury stuff huh?"

[Kamalia]

Molly nodded. The Zoroark seemed awful familiar for some reason... "We'll try to stay out of your way." She set Apple down on the counter, then paused. "Oh! You were once with us Dawn, weren't you?" She looked at Rain with curiosity. "What happened? You just disappeared one night. Have you been here this whole time?" She spoke with her back turned to her as she busied herself with helping Holly.

[Senna-Umbreon]

"What the hell happened...?" Lyell asked, his head still tilted. "You were being... Like, controlled, or something.. By the Dusk... Y-you attacked us...." Stormie replied, still hugging him.

"I attacked you?! Oh Arceus... I'm sorry Stormie...."

"It's okay... I forgive you."

"Really? Thank you..."

"Stormie!!" Maya called, floating over and then 'sitting' on the Kojondo's head.

Stormie looked up at the Shandera, "Maya!! You're back too!!"

"Mmhm~!"

Hannibal scuttled over and nuzzled up against both Stormie and Lyell.

------

Phantom blushed even more. "... Possibly. ... And hey! I've saved you too! I could've just skedaddled and let you get mauled by those two Dusk! But I didn't! Hah!"

[rubybeam]

Rain heavily blushed demon did toboth of them seemed to know "Uhhh..ANYWAYS! tempers workers come in here around at this time hungry from making houses all day just ognore them" rain put on waht appered to be a cheifs hat and immdeatly starting cooking all sorts of food demon occansionally handing her supplies she left one door closed so that molly and the others were hidden behind it and pokemon of all sorts filled the canteen seemily tired from building all day

[Kamalia]

Julius walked over, limping slightly. He stopped a short distance away. "Hey... Lyell, right? And Maya? You two alright?" He looked at them anxiously.

--

Molly nodded distractedly. "Okay, th - Apple, sweetie, don't put that in your mouth, it doesn't taste good that way - thank you, Rain!"

[rubybeam]

"It doesn't" apple stared at his flour covered hand "But it looks so sweet!"

[Senna-Umbreon]

Lyell looked up at Julius, "Yeah, I'm fine... You don't look fine though. ... I attacked you, didn't I?" He looked down at the ground, "I'm sorry..."

Maya floated over to Julius, "You were the one who hit me with that Surf attack, right? You're pretty strong!!" She said, looking oddly cheerful.

[Moonlost]

"That jsut proves you're dumber than you look Fuzzbutt. " Venin laughed. "I had my escape all planed out. It's kinda hard for a big, nasty Charthingie and his pet psychic eeveelution to follow a Vaporeon down, say, a drain. Or to find one in one of those human pools."

~

Holly grinned at Apple. "Just wait until we mix all the stuff in, then it's really yummy!" He started to crack the eggs, humming her "baking a cake with lots of pokemon friends" song.

((And now I'm suddenly thinking of this song. XD ))

[Kamalia]

"Trust me, it doesn't. Just be patient. Maybe if you're lucky you can lick the spoon after." Molly chuckled, trying to dust off Apple's paw. She handed him a spoon. "Here, try stirring."

---

Julius glanced down at his wound. "Um, yeah, sort of. I think I'll be fine, though." He made a face. His Aqua Ring seemed to have sealed the cut, but his side was covered in the rusty colour of dried blood. And he felt a bit dizzy. He sat down, looking up at Maya. "Um, thank you...?"

[rubybeam]

Apple nodded grabbing the spoon with his tail arm he tried to carefully stir trying to be careful not to spill

[Senna-Umbreon]

Phantom fell silent, giving Venin a glare. ".... I bet they would have found a way to catch you... ... .. And hey, besides, remember when we were escaping from the cave in? I saved you then! So.. Hah!"

------

"You sure? Alright..." Lyell replied, giving Julius a worried look.

Maya giggled, landing on Julius's head, "Heehee~!"

Stormie blinked, finally letting go of Lyell, ".... Lyell? Where are Calypso and Hart...?" She asked. The Daikenki looked at her, "... Last I saw, they were with us.. As Dusk..."

"Oh no.. I hope we don't have to fight them....." Stormie sighed, ears drooping.

[Kamalia]

Julius shrugged and smiled weakly. "Well, okay, I do feel a bit tired." He blinked as the ghostly chandelier perched on his head. "Comfy?" His small smile fell at the news of their two other missing teammates. "I'm sure we'll find 'em." He said confidently.

[Senna-Umbreon]

"Hehe, yup~!" Maya replied, giggling.

Hannibal looked up at both Lyell and Stormie, "Maybe we should head back to the others.... Just in case there's more Dusk around......"

"Hannibal is right..." Stormie sighed, then looked at Julius, "Besides, we should get you back so someone can heal you..."

[Moonlost]

Venin paused, thinking. "Okay then Phantom, I'll give you that one." She reached up and gently nipped his ear. "Just don't go thinking I'm some helpless little pup, needing your help. You need me just as much as I need you."

~

Holly stopped suddenly, turing to the two adult Pokemon. "Could one of you please turn on the oven? Mummy told me never to play with ovens."

[Senna-Umbreon]

"I do not." Phantom replied indignantly. "............. Okay maybe I do..." He muttered.

((Okay, seriously. These two are adorab--- AGH!!! *Gets mauled by an angry Smoldereon*))

[Kamalia]

Julius smiled ruefully. "Yeah, that would probably be a good idea. Plus they can get rid of the curse back at camp if it's still hanging around in any of us." The Floatzel got up unsteadily. He winced a bit at his tight wound, then started forward.

--

Molly nodded, then glanced over her shoulder. "Daray, could you do that for us?" She then peered in the bowl. How does it look like it's coming along? She'd never cooked cake before, but so far it reminded her a bit of poffin batter. But with chocolate. Besides, it was better to check with someone who knew how it was done. She looked at Holly inquiringly.
