Rise of the Shadows!

[Magnakilro]

((nothing much happened to your Hound Pack...Soundwave tried to get a mission report from Seventeen a while ago...but has since joined the uninfecteds.))

Deoxys laughed, "We'll see."

He landed in the center of camp and put the berries near his son.

He put a hand on the squirming child, "You'll get through this son..."

[Kira]

Delora nuzzled again Ciro, who had gone from whining and shivering to growling and twitching.

---

Ciro was still blasting the shades in his mind, though they just kept coming. He was starting to get a bit tired now.

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys started to stroke Ciro's fur gently, as he spoke in his mind

Be strong my son.....be strong...

[Kira]

Ciro looked up as his fathers voice echoed. "Daddy...?" A shade Deo attacked at that moment and he yelped before blasting it with a Zap Cannon.

[Magnakilro]

Listen to my voice son...fight the curse....you can do it! Your mother believes in you...I believe in you...all of your friends believe in you.....

[Moonlost]

((Thank you Magna. I still want to get an idea of what's happened to the other characters and the overall plot though. I also need some time to think about why my Hounds have been missing for so long XD ))

[Magnakilro]

Demonica tilted her head, "Awww bossy bug went silent on me....what to do what to do...."

[Azunara]

((All I can say, Moon....Get tissues on hand.))

Speck flopped back down, tired. She didn't want to sleep though. Not if they were attacked. Solara sat besides Eleredar, who was more or less healed up. Dialga's Safeguards stood, and he peered into the forest, as if he looked long enough, he'd see something.

[Kamalia]

Julius kneaded his claws, nervously watching Ciro and his parents. Being cursed did not look like fun, not at all. Tira wouldn't say a word to him despite him trying to cheer her up. Didn't even crack a smile at his new jokes! He thought they'd been pretty good... he humphed to himself. He'd offer Ciro some of his jokes, but he was kind of sleeping, plus Deoxys and Delora were rather... protective of him at the moment. He decided instead to scamper up a tree nearby them and watch from up top, where he'd probably not bother them.

Reese stretched, swinging his sore arms side to side. He had attempted to get in on the action, but too many big louts were in his way, and pushing against them did very little except make his arms sore. He grumbled under his breath. He was absolutely dying here. There was nothing to do. If anything did happen, the threat was squelched out in a matter of minutes.

[Magnakilro]

Jaws walked over to Olivia, "Hey...I saw something I think you might like...."

[Kamalia]

"Oh?" The Blaziken looked at him curiously.

[Lupis]

((Whoop, sorry. I was about to write a response, got distracted, and forgot. >.<))

Scarab blinked at Demonica. "Ahh, my apologiesss. I wass disstracted." He tilted his head, thinking. "Be careful, asss they will be on alert... Attempt to infect more of the children. The familiess musst fall into chaosss."

Summer trotted over to Julius. "Hey, you wanted to know about a Toxicroak, right..? I forgot to mention it earlier, with all the things going on. I saw one in the chaos. He's with the rest of the Dusk."

[Kira]

"I'm trying daddy! They're really-ow! Ms. Lilith just bit me!" Ciro whined as he hit the shade with a Flamethrower. "STOP HURTING ME!" He roared, a ball appearing over him.
Ciro used Bark Out!
Ciro used Psycho Boost!

[Magnakilro]

"Follow me!"

He walked to the cliff edge nearby and pointed at the moon. It was one of those nights where the moon seemed HUGE.

"Ain't it pretty?"

------
...do you remember how to shift forms?

[Kira]

Ciro blinked. DUH! He shook himself and switched to Attack Form, snarling and blasting at the shades. "Leave me alone! I wanna go back to mommy and daddy!"

[Magnakilro]

Demonica nodded, "Oooo I get to taste more delicious child flesh....you truly are a gret master!" she cackled loudle and teleported away with the ghost sisters.

[Kamalia]

Julius's face fell. "Oh..."
---
"Wow." Olivia gazed at it. "It's beautiful." She smiled at him. "I usually never pause to admire the night sky. I suppose us fire-types are always drawn to the heat of the sun, so when it goes down, I guess we lose all of our interest. I don't really realize what I'm missing out on." She chuckled, tipping her head up to look at the stars. "Thank you."

[Azunara]

Dialga finally said, "Well. Chomp would want us to keep going. Those of you coming with me, are we ready to go?" He asked, getting up. His Safeguards faded. Solara also added, "And what now? Should we move camp? Keep looking for supplies? Send someone to keep an eye on the kids?"

[Magnakilro]

Jaws smiled, "I figured you needed to see something nice after the last few hours...."

He put his arm around her.

------

Lilith spoke, "I think we should move to a new spot...they know where we are right now.....its too dangerous staying here..."

[Kamalia]

"I'm with Lilith. Moving camp sounds like the best thing to do." Molly gave the surrounding forest a nervous glance.

"Mmnhm." Olivia nodded in agreement, leaning against him.
