The Plague of Deoxys

[Kamalia]

((S'okay, Lupis. ))

The Archeops closed her eyes as she soared high above the town, closing her eyes as the wind ruffled past her feathers. She opened her eyes and blinked when she heard screaming coming from below. She scowled as she saw Cherrie trailing after her, all the way down on the ground. Ixchel shook her head, then beat her wings and began to glide for the forest.

"Cute." Foster snorted. Julius frowned, swishing his tails. He seriously doubted that he should tell the Braviary about his even smaller family members. "As nice as buried treasure is, we're looking for some friends." He answered carefully. "And you're in our way. So if you'll excuse me..." The Floatzel squeezed around the bird, searching for another tree with claw marks.

((Whheeeee bonfire! brb))

"I ain't scared." Baxter sniffed as he sat down again. "Bring 'er on. I can take 'er."
"Scared!" Pim parroted.
"No, we's ain't scared. That's the point."
"Ain't scared!"
"There ya go's kid." Baxter grunned, reaching over his shoulder to ruffle to woobat's head. "Hope for ya's yet."
Pim crawled up onto the back of the lounge chair and started to sniff about, curious to explore this now-not-so-empty house.

[Lupis]

Vincent spread his wings out to take up more space and block the Floatzel. They couldn't ignore him that easily.
"Would they happen to live on a farm? Large house, bit beat up? Not the best place to find treasure." He had seen it before. He was quite proud of his eyes and let others know of their power as often as possible.

[Senna-Umbreon]

((Ooooh, bonfire! I'm jealous XD))

"You should be. My Mommy's not to be messed with. She's really really strong!" Rust said proudly, tail starting to wag.

[Kamalia]

Julius' irritated look disappeared at Vincent's description of the farm house. "Yes, that's it!" He said excitedly, his face brightening. "Where is it? Could you tell me where you saw it?"
Foster peered over the Floatzel's head and squinted suspiciously at the Braviary. "You mean my orange buddy here was actually telling the truth about knowing someone here? I was seriously beginning to think that he had lost it for go - OW!" The Sableye scowled, rubbing his back where Julius had lashed him with his tails.

Ixchel opened her wings, fluttering onto a tree branch. She glanced behind her, satisfied at the distance she had put between herself and the town. She swiveled her head back around when she heard the sound of crashing undergrowth. She tilted her head, vaguely curious as she caught the sound of a snort.

[Lupis]

Vincent scoffed. "Tell you? I can carry a druddigon without breaking a sweat, I can show you!"

[Kamalia]

Julius blinked. "Uh... I guess that would be an improvement over walking..."
Foster squinted at the Braviary. "You sure you're not over exaggerating? 'Cause I really don't feel like ending up as a little purple smear on the ground. If you drop us, I swear to Arceus that I'm gonna come back and haunt you. For the rest. Of. Eternity. Possibly longer."

[Moonlost]

"Strong!" Pim squeaked, mimicing Rust. Sticking out her tongue and wiggling her bottom, she launched from the top of the chair and glided over to Rust, glomping onto his face. "Stong strong strong!"
"Sure are Pim." Baxter chuckled. "Nothin' stronger than us!"

[Senna-Umbreon]

((Oh Arceus Pim is adorable. And agh, I dunno why.. But I adore her name. It's just one of those names that I find utterly adorable XD))

Rust let out a surprised squeak as Pim attached herself to his face.

[rubybeam]

Cherrie seemed to follow Ixchel all the way 'What is this you see?" she asked poping out of the bushes

[Kamalia]

Ixchel jumped, letting out a squawk. "Why are you still following me?" She demanded, dipping her head to stare accusingly at the Purrloin. "I don't know anything else about the virus than I've already told you, what more do you want?" She flapped her wings, lifting off and swerving past tree branches in an effort to lose Cherrie. She halted in midair with surprise as she caught the glimmer of metal below. She hovered for a moment, then darted into the trees. She peered down at the bulky mass below that was stomping past the undergrowth. Perhaps it would squish or scare away that pesky cat?

[Moonlost]

((Pim was engineered to be adorable. ))

"Pim!" The woobat squeaked back as she hugged Rust's muzzle. She liked this one!

[rubybeam]

((If you try to squish Cherrie it'll wake up the whole dang forest..))

Cherrie still followed despite all this "Well its no fun trying to travel alone" she frowned, the neckband around her invisbly showing her that it was the cause of her lonleyness

[Senna-Umbreon]

((Keep getting distracted by lore stoof on WoWWiki.. XD))

Samantha stopped, letting out a low growl as an unfamiliar scent reached her. Swiveling her head around, she attempted to pin-point where it was coming from, but was unable to spot anything besides trees, bushes, grass, and well.. More trees. Feeling frustrated, she let out a roar, stomping the ground with one foot and bashing her tail into a tree.

Rust let out a giggle, gently poking Pim with his tail.

[Kamalia]

Ixchel flapped her wings in alarm as her tree vibrated with the impact of the Aggron's tail. "Calm down, calm down! I'm not trying to hurt you." She squawked in annoyance, strutting out along her branch so that the ornery dinosaur could see her. She watched Samantha warily, unsure if she should trust the Aggron with not attacking her. She kept her wings in a position that would enable her with a quick takeoff should Samantha show any aggression.

[rubybeam]

Cherrie soon ran ito view "Oh hey! my names cherrie whats yours?" she asked samantha immdeatly

[Kamalia]

The Archeops shot Cherrie a pitying look. If she always ran right up to giant, steel-coated and ornery dinosaurs, how the Purrloin had survived this long was beyond her.

[Moonlost]

Pim reached out with a wing to grab onto Rust's tail, making tiny little excited sqeaking noises as she did so. Baxter creaked open an eye to watch, a small smile on his face.
"So, uh, you's guys goin' ta fight the virus or whatevah's causin this trouble?" He asked Rust.
"Help!" Pim added as she hugged Rust's tail.

[Senna-Umbreon]

((I'm really really liking this new character of mine. Which is probably a good thing.. The Aggron I'm planning on using for my team for the eventual Ruby and Sapphire remakes is gonna be based on Samantha XD))

Samantha blinked, looking up at the now visible Archeops, then snorted. She studied the feathered reptile for a few moments, before smirking. "It's a good thing too. You wouldn't stand a chance against me." She said smugly. Cherrie's sudden appearance caused Samantha to snarl, whipping around to face the small purple cat. "That's none of your business."

Rust grinned at Pim, then turned his gaze back to Baxter, "Well, we're gonna try to find a cure, if that's what you mean."
