Rise of the Shadows!

[Saturo]

The Unown turned back, and flew down to Chomp.
"You can't fly!? Poor you... Okay, just sit on that one over there, he'll give you a lift.", the leader said and pointed at one of the Unown. The same one that had carried Glis. It seemed to groan, and looked very displeased. Especially as Chomp is a lot heavier than Glis.

[Magnakilro]

Chomp climbed on the Unown, "Sorry buddy..."

[Kira]

Shia forced herself to stop sparking, giving a quick nod. "Then tell me. I've lost a member of the family to these things already, I don't want to lose another."
Moriko looked completely confused, staring at Shia and the cat. Oh how she wished she could understand!

[rubybeam]

Kanmimpi explaned everything about the dusks what she knew and about herself "Just protect your tainer I really don't want anymore to fall..."

[Lupis]

Scarab eyed Ghost.
"Ah, you return again. What isss your reassson? Prove through wordssss you are worthy of my trusst again."
He didn't sound angry, and he wasn't, particularly. He was just suspicious. He did want to accept her back, he disliked having to kill...

[Saturo]

The little Unown swung around heavily, barely able to keep Chomp up. The other Unown looked at it with pity, but were at the same time relieved not to have to carry Chomp themselves. They quickly took off, and started flying towards the lab, the Unown carrying Chomp swinging around wildly while trying to balance him.

[Kira]

"Don't worry about that, I've been doing so since I was a Shinx." Shia glanced back at Moriko, who gave a tiny smile, though she still looked confused. She turned back to to Kanmimpi. "If there's a way we could aid you, just say so."

[rubybeam]

"The only thing you can do for me is warn any non-infected you see other than that I don't know what to say.."

[Senna-Umbreon]

"I've returned because this is where I belong, isn't it?" Ghost replied, "Despite what those liars want me to believe... I belong here. With my kin. They ACT like they care.. But they don't.. And I won't ever forgive them for fooling me!" She growled, digging her claws into the ground, "All I've ever wanted is to belong... They made me believe I had finally found someplace I could fit in.. But no! They all lied! All of them..."

[Kira]

Shia nodded. "I'll do it, don't worry. If you think of anything, I'm sure you'll find a way to get in contact with us."
Moriko looked at her belt, frowning as a pokeball began to shake viciously. "No Star, I'm not letting you out. Stop it." She put her hand on the ball, the shaking getting worse.

---

"Seems some of them have a plan."
Ikis nodded. "Probably. You feel like tagging along after them?"
"You can make it so they don't see us?"
Ikis simply smirked. "Trust me Doll, they will not know."
"Don't call me Doll...but lead the way."

[rubybeam]

"I can speak telepathicly anytime if that helps for contacting.."

[Lupis]

Scarab nodded slowly. He wasn't sure about how consistent she would be, but that rage was real. As with Solara, he wasn't sure if trusting her was wise, but he wouldn't turn her away. He made this clear to her. "I don't trussst you yet, but you are right. This isss your home, and I won't turn you out of it. Your 'friendsss' may not value you, but prove your loyalty and you will be our ssssister." He looked over at Delora and Ikis, and his voice lowered so only Ghost could hear him. "For now, I want you to keep an eye on thosse two. I do not trusst them, and they do not shhow the courage to approach me."

((Edit - I wrote this and then read that Delora&company are up to something. I'm good. xD ))

[Azunara]

((I was distracted! XD))

Solara quietly led the way, occasionally wincing as the larger pokemon stupidly stepped on a twig. It didn't matter. She peered through the bushes, trying to gauge who was there. The Lord of Time was asleep, though some haunter was definitely wide awake nearby, sitting with a Gengar. She heard movement, but she noticed some of them were missing. She lashed her tail in anticipation, quietly hissing, "Right. You all distract the main group, while Summer and I will sneak around to Infect the Lord of Time. Once done, we'll go after the Nightmare Lord as well. Just keep in mind, if either of us say to run, run."

[Magnakilro]

Sparky still rode on El, "Look....that must be the Sableye!" Sparky said as he pointed at it.

---------

Chomp struggled to hold on to the Unown.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost nodded, "I don't blame you for not trusting me yet... I wouldn't trust me either if I was you.." She followed Scarab's gaze, "Right. I'll report anything suspicious." She dipped her head and silently padded over to Delora and Ikis.

[Kira]

"So, how are you going to-holy haunter, am I floating?"
"Barely." Ikis muttered. "This is..about all I can do."
"It's hurting you, isn't it?"
"Hmph. C'mon." He moved ahead of her, letting her follow behind as he moved after Solara and Summer. Use your mind to speak, that doesn't hurt me.
Understood..though, it feels like an invasion of personal space.

[Lupis]

(( You can control the other Dusk in our party if you want, Azu. ))
Summer nodded at Sol, her muscles bunched in anticipation. She waited, ready to follow her.

Delrokx stared at the angry Golem. It bellowed, swinging a massive fist at her. She darted away, glancing up at the sky and waving.
"HEY! Help?"

[Magnakilro]

Sparky fired a powerful blast at the Golem

Sparky used Focus Blast

[Saturo]

THe Unown sent a picture of their surroundings into Chomp's mind, with one area highlighted.
"The marked area is where we're going. It should be about right below us by now."
They flew down, and the Unown carrying Chomp was relieved to drop him off at the ground.
"We're looking for a small, red gem. We must be wuick, too, this area is filled with Dusk."

[Magnakilro]

Chomp nodded, "Gotcha."

Chomp walked inside.
