Rise of the Shadows!

[Kamalia]

Molly glanced at the cake mix box for some instructions on how to make the icing. It seemed like the Sunrise had translated most of the human words into the Pokémon language, handily. She had to commend them on their organization and planning. She fished through supplies as Holly tidied up a bit. She paused and gave Apple a look of amusement and handed him a napkin. "Looks like you're enjoying that, Apple." She chuckled, wondering a bit at how long it would take to get all that chocolate out of the little monkey's fur.

[Lupis]

Buzzard grinned and nodded at the two, then pushed his way outside and threw himself into the air. He stuck to following the streets, but none the less flew very quickly down them and every now and then flew over a building.

Summer grimaced at the earth attack, having little defense against it. Gritting her teeth, she tensed her muscles and called a blizzard, then blew it towards Olivia's face with a cold wind. Directly following that were shards of ice.
Summer uses Blizzard!
Summer uses Freezing Wind!
Summer uses Ice Shard!

[Kamalia]

Olivia's feathers ruffled wildly from the wind and she took the blizzard with a disgruntled look, annoyed at her lack of vision again. The Blaziken flinched as one of the ice shards cut into her arm. She let out a huge blast of heat and fire in an effort to melt the snow and the rest of the incoming shards.

Olivia used Overheat!

[Lupis]

Summer darted around the distracted Blaziken, leaping at her back.

((All for tonight, I'm afraid. It's so late it's early, and I have homework to do tomorrow. ))

[Kamalia]

"Oof!" Olivia thudded to her knees from the impact. Slightly out of breath, she looked over her shoulder and grinned at Summer. "I greatly underestimated you, I'll give you that. You're a fantastic fighter, you know. We need to do this again some other time."

((*nodnod* It's getting pretty late here, too. Guess it's time to hit the hay.))

[Azunara]

((Left early, since no one was around. Waiting for people to get on before I do much, but...I'll at least show that they're still alive...))

Solara whined again. The Dusk would be looking for her soon, and she had to find that smoldereon. She bared her teeth at he thought of him. An easy kill at least. Part of her regretted all of this. If she hadn't left the temple two years ago. If she had tried harder to escape. If Shad hadn't died. If the humans never came for them. If she had never been born. If this, then that....None of it would've happened. Regret gave way to anger, and the other part stepped in. The Dusk part.

She snarled weakly, tail lashing. She had to go soon, but...She shook her head, sighing. What did it matter what they said anymore? They all hated her. At least she had some respect with the Dusk.

Cro grinned at Ciro, giving a slight shudder, "Thanks." He said, walking back over to the elder lady and her pokemon.

[Bubbleme]

Slowly awakening from a sleep, she glanced around rom behind the same object she had hid behind. Deep blue eyes scanned the area, she couldn't see anyone here, and ventured off on what the confident would call an adventure. Where was I going? She thought...

[rubybeam]

Apple was rather enjoying the chocolate, he didn't need to pick it up with his tail hand and it easily stuck to his normal clumsy one's he had a huge smile on his face

[Lupis]

Delrokx ((A Dusk Sableye)) peered at the hidden Tonne. "Who're you?" she asked quietly.

Buzzard flew closer, then landed at the end of a street with Sol and Soundwave in sight. She looked... distressed. Hmm. He clicked his raptor-like claws on the ground in thought. What should he do...

Summer smiled, dropping down back to the ground. "You were pretty skilled too. If you were psychic type, I don't think I would have had a chance."

[Kamalia]

Molly leaned against the counter as she took a small break, watching Apple with amusement.

--

Olivia got up and dusted herself off. "Well, if you were psychic type too, I also wouldn't have a chance." She chuckled. "And thanks. That was fun."

[Lupis]

Summer grinned. "Well, we're both lucky, then." She nodded in agreement, "Yeah, it was. If you ever need practice, I'm happy to spar. Help take out some pent-up frustrations, too."

[Moonlost]

Seventeen caught up to Buzzard, her ears pricked and staring hard at Solara. She had been distracted before, but she recognised the Espion evolution from the Dawn. She'd tangled with her a few times before hadn't she? All in the past now though she supposed, Solara had proven her loyalty to her kin multiple times. Her hackles raised at the sight of the traitorous Soundwave though. What was happening here?

Gamin reached them a little afterwards, slower than the Charaptor and Voltectric, but not out of breath. The one bad thing with his new evolution seemed that his speed hadn't been enhanced much, if at all.
He raised his muzzle to the air, sniffing, trying to distinguish between all the scents around.

Holly hummed as she finished the last of the dishes, asside from the bowl in Apple's hands anyway. She wasn't too keen on doing dishes really, but her mum had always told her to leave a kitchen tidy after you were done using it. And the nice Sunrise had been more than happy to let her bake her cake, so it seemed only fair to leave the place as clean as she had found it.
She hopped over to the oven to peek inside, being careful not to touch it. It looked like the cake was starting to rise. She grinned happily, wouldn't be long now!

Olga looked down at Cro and Ciro. Shyra ruffled her wings a little, watching the two calmly.
"Are you ready, young Dragon?" Olga asked.

[Bubbleme]

Tonne found herself alone by the time her search for others ended she was behind a building at the end of a street. Paws touched the ground over and over as she moved closer, slowly peeking around the corner to see several others in the close-ish distance. Tonne sped over to Buzzard, however her body shook heavily. ''...H...Hi...'' She mumbled when in speaking distance of him.

[Azunara]

Solara snarled, ears pricked. Dusk. She hissed, shaking herself and falling back a few paces from Soundwave, frustration and regret crossing her face. Still. She had to find that blasted Smoldereon. She'd kill him, no matter who stood in her way. She raised her nose to the wind, trying to ignore the smell of Dawn, trying to find its scent. After pausing, she managed to find it, and hissed. It was somewhat stale. She had spent too long here.

((*feels guilty.*))

---

Cro nodded at the two. Ready as he'll ever be.

[Lupis]

Buzzard blinked at Tonne. He waved his tail in greeting, turning his head back to Solara. He decided to make his entrance, growling loudly at Soundwave and taking a few steps forward. He wasn't sure about attacking... If Sol hadn't attacked, then she would probably try to defend the uninfected Yanmega if he attacked. "Leave," he ordered. "And if you know what's good for you, never return."

[Moonlost]

((Probably it for me today. Alas my sleeping patterns are out of wack again, so I'm heading straight for bed. ))

Shyra nodded, spreading her wings wide. An eerie purple glow eminated from her eyes, followed by a blurring of the fabric of reality. The four of them were placed in front of the Spear Pillar cave. The Xatu closed her wings, resuming her calm stare at Cro.
"Whatever you find in there young Dragon," Olga said quietly. "Know that your family and friends love you and accept you for who you are right now."

~

Seventeen trotted over to Tonne, sniffing at her wearily. She couldn't recognise her scent, that made her uneasy. She bared her teeth for a brief second, but didn't attack, instead trotting forward to scent for Venin.

Gamin opted to remain by Buzzard's side, although he made sure his Boss was within sight. He looked down at Tonne, sniffing at her from afar, more curious than uneasy. "Who are ya, and what're ya doing here?" He asked.

[Kamalia]

Olivia nodded. "Sounds good. I'll come calling, then, whenever boredom strikes. Which is probably sometime again soon. I'm sure the trees will appreciate it, too." She chuckled, putting a claw on the cut of her arm. "Guess I'd better go get fixed up. I'll see you soon!" The Blaziken waved before turning and heading back, whistling cheerfully.

--

Molly dumped a few of the icing ingredients into a bowl, checking the instructions now and then. She cast a glance over her shoulder at Daray. "You want to help? Standing there and watching us bake can't be as fun as making it yourself." She smiled and returned her attention back to the icing.

[Azunara]

Cro blinked, disoriented after the teleportation. He shook himself, then blinked at the cave. A...bad feeling settled over him. He felt uneasy, growling warily. Bad things happened here. Very, very bad things.

[Kira]

Ciro looked over at his little brother, giving him a gentle nudge. "Let's go see...I'm right beside you, I wouln't let you go through this alone."

---

Daray blinked before he nodded, smiling sheepishly. "To be honest...I'm worried about scaring her again. She's adorable, I don't want to do something to startle her.."

[Kamalia]

"I think she's okay. She doesn't seem nervous in the least. Besides, I think she's rather focused on this cake of hers." Molly chuckled. "So long as you don't disappear through walls, I think it'll be okay," she smiled, teasing lightly. She thrust the bowl at him. "Here, stir this. I'm going to give Holly a hand with the dishes."

--

Olivia hummed to herself, wincing now and then as she cleaned and patched up the cut on her arm and inspected any bruises she had received.
