Rise of the Shadows!

[Kamalia]

The Floatzel did a double take. "Wh- hey! Hey, you have! 'Grats, Aurora!" He grinned at her, switching his gaze from the Dewgong to the Sunrise and back. "Hm. Your new form looks really graceful. You'd probably be extra good at swimming now!" He nodded cheerfully.

--

Taia stretched her new muscles as she walked, reveling in how good she now felt. She grinned to herself.

[rubybeam]

Nazi snorted "You bunch of freloaders should listen to earthia, think before yo-"
"Nazi?"
"What now!?"
nazi was then hit face first in the nose by earthia and sent to the ground with it heavily bleeding
"You know better also..."
Earthia used megapunch!

[Azunara]

Aurora beamed, looking rather proud of herself. "You're right! We need to find water! I wonder how fast I can swim now? Bet I could beat you in a race!"

[Kamalia]

The Floatzel chuckled. "Well, I don't know about you beating me in a race, but I'll bet we can find some water nearby!"

[rubybeam]

Earthia walked up to auroa "Hey sweetie? if that miltank tries to harm you again just come tell I'll give him a few rounds okay?"

[Lupis]

Scarab nodded as the group returned. "Your firssst tassk is sssimple. Round up as many ssstray Dusssk as you can and bring them back - they will be evolved into an army. The evolutionss will take very little time - you will be attacking the Dawn sssoon after. Hhhowever, while you are away, do what you can to ssscout out the camp. Ssearch for the crysstalss."

[Azunara]

Solara nodded. Sounded easy enough. She was sure there were plenty of Dusk nearby, and she knew where the Sunrise camp was located. She had been there before, and it wouldn't be hard to untangle the scent of Dawn and Sunrise from forest.

Aurora nodded at Julius, then looked at Earthia and nodded again. "Okay!" She said cheerfully.

[rubybeam]

Earthia smiled at auroa having frosty run up to her "Mommy? I want to play with the seel~" he looked at auroa "Can I play with you please please?"

[Azunara]

((Same here. Out to get some sleep so I can watch an eclipse. Eee.))

Aurora blinked at the kid, then gave a slight grin. "Okay! What about...hide and seek or something?"

---

((Also, last call I suppose if you want any Dusk to get picked up and evolved, otherwise we'll just find random fake NPC Dusk.))

[rubybeam]

Quest stared at solara as she seemed to pass by. crrraaaaapppp, she evolved again there's no way he could ever kill her now! she blinked decideing to yell out ot the cat and get on her good side "Oiiiiiiiiiiiii~ solara! over here please!"

[Lupis]

((Just for fun, bringing in a few pokemon that I had in my team at one point. They'll be... more Dusk. >.> Wall o' text incoming.))

A small pack of Dusk wandered through the forest, aimlessly looking for nothing. The three, a Luxray, a Torterra and a Rapidash, moved in relative coordination, used to working together. The torterra's shell-tree was dead, its branches leafless, and the grass around it was in a similar condition. Her scales were black, turning grey towards her stomach. Perched on her shell was the Luxray, also nearly completely black in coloration - the only color being the yellow stripes on his legs and the yellow star on his tail. Lastly, the black Rapidash was walking beside them, blue flames flickering off her body.
"Nothing around," commented the Luxray, scanning through the trees.
"We were supposed to be looking for something?" the Rapidash asked.
"Yes, we were, firebrain. Uninfected. Dawn. All those."
"Charlemagne. Be nice," grumbled the Torterra. The Luxray sighed. "Just keep moving. I have the best eyes here anyway. Oh, and Twiggy?"
"Yes?"
"Stupidest name for a Torterra."
"Better than Sparkles," retorted Twiggy.
"Hey, you know, you can shut up. But seriously, even Flashfire has a better name than you."
"Hey!" the Rapidash protested, but was drowned out by Twiggy.
"Face it, Sparkles, that's your name. It's on your ID, which our trainer has."
"Had. I took it, and I changed it. I'm Charlemagne now."
Flashfire took it upon herself to ask, "Where did you even think that up?"
"In my head. It's spelled "M-A-G-N-E, but it's pronounced like Mane, get it? Like my mane?"
"Charlemagne..."
"Yes?"
"You're stupid."

[Azunara]

Solara glanced at Quest, head tilted. She unsheathed her claws, grinning brightly at Quest. Warningly. She didn't approve of its...methods...and even on the same side, it could only go so far. Nevertheless, she quickly made her way over, snapping, "What is it? I've got things I need to do."

[Magnakilro]

Pinsir stood up from a rather long nap. He looked at Aeris, "Hey there!"

[rubybeam]

Quest back away from solara abit nervous around the evolution "Well I was wondering where ya got those evolutions of those"

[Azunara]

Solara flicked her tail, eyebrow raised. "I suggest you talk to Scarab, then." She winced, remembering the first part of her leader's objectives: Round up Dusk for evolutions. She scowled with a sigh. "Right. You might as well come with us...We're looking for other Dusk."

[rubybeam]

"Okay~" quest followed solara looking around occansinaly for other dusk

[Azunara]

Solara stifled a sigh, looking back at Confusion, Buzzard and Taia with a shrug. She continued tracking a scent, then she pricked her ears, hearing voices and smelling a strong Dusk scent. She flicked her tail, nodding and pointing in the direction she thought they were coming from. "There's a few Dusk this ways."

[Lupis]

((Shamelessly sticking my characters in here))

Charlemagne stiffened, staring into the trees. He could see something in the distance, through the trees... Movement, and it looked alive. Dusk, then. Good.
"Twig. This way." He pointed his star-tipped tail towards the movement.

[Kamalia]

Taia eyed Quest as they walked. Looked like another Pokémon Solara got along well with. She snorted mentally, then shifted her gait until she had caught up to the Mawhile/Gardevoir hybrid. She cast her a little grin. A friendly one, she hoped. She wasn't exactly sure how friendly her new, lengthened teeth looked. She lifted her snout and also scented the Dusk. She let the flames on her back flare up slightly to let the other Dusk know their position.

[rubybeam]

Quest looked back at taia, she quickly backed up scared "Hi there?"
