Rise of the Shadows!

[Magnakilro]

"My pleasure...as an added bonus...he seems to be calming down around Beedrills...." Dart said with a bow of his head.

[Kira]

"Good...I apologize for before, if I managed to offend any of you...it's a type thing, I'm sure you understand.." Or, she hoped he did at least.

[Magnakilro]

Dart laughed, "No worries!"

He sighed, "....Life is hard when your a beedrill...."

[Kira]

"If you ever feel the need to talk, I've got a lot of experience." Delora said honestly. He brother and sister, cousins, sister in law, kids, mate..heck, she even had a few random poke's talk to her before about things. Must have been an aura she put off..

(( I have honestly had random people talk to me about things that are bothering them before...it's so Odd. ))

[Magnakilro]

The beedrill sighed, "....your species is viewed as pests by many....poisonous monsters by many more....we live in constant fear of our hives being destroyed by others....we get mocked by other pokemon for not being as powerful as other fully evolved pokemon...."

[Kira]

"You're stronger than some of the evolutions I've seen." Delora said honestly. "As for being pests..everyone is considered a pest by someone." She tilted her head a bit. "And I don't know many that would risk harming a hive to get stung by very cranky Beedrill..unless they're stupid."

[Magnakilro]

"You'd be surprised....5 of our hives were destroyed by humans....generally because they percieve us as a threat to the lives of their children....which I believe could be avoided if they get off their lazy asses and tell them about us....that way the kids will steer clear and we can live slightly safer lives...." Dart explained.

[Kira]

"Oh please, humans blame us for everything instead of looking at the logical way to fix it or explain it away." Delora said in a low growl. "They would never do something that would make Our lives easier.."

[Magnakilro]

The Beedrill sighed, "And sometimes its other pokemon that do it too! Once....our hive was wrecked by a skarmory....took one of the weedles too....and later on another was destroyed by a Sceptile.....just so mny things go wrong in our lives...I wonder if Arceus hates us...."

[Kira]

"He doesn't hate anyone...so long as you don't hurt anyone else." Delora said, a few memories running through her mind. "I'm sorry I'm not being that helpful."

[Magnakilro]

Dart smiled, "Actually....it felt great getting all of that off my chest....thanks for listening madame!"

[Kira]

"It's not a problem." Delora let out a little laugh. "I know what it's like to have stupid stuff happen to you because of what you are."

[Magnakilro]

Dart looked ahead, "I see the cave!"

[Kira]

"Good! I hate flying." Delora shuddered, not looking down or ahead really. "I wonder if Ciro woke up yet.."

Ciro was indeed awake and was staring at the new egg. "When do you think it'll hatch dad..?"

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys sighed, "Hopefully when this is all over..."

------

Dart dropped Delora off at the cave entrance, "I'll be at the mountaintop if ya need me."

He flew to the peak.

[Kira]

Delora glanced up after him as she padded into the cave.
"Mommy!"
"You are in So much Trouble!"
Ciro squeaked and jumped behind his father to hide.

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys sighed, "....Ciro....what did you do?"

-----

Dart sat on the mountaintop among the Weedles and Kakunas. He just stared at the sky.

[Kira]

Ciro whimpered quietly. "I..I.."
"He was fighting against the Dusk."
"I was being safe, I-"
"Hush you. You know better than to fight!"
"But I..."

[Magnakilro]

"Ciro...you know your too young to be fighting out there.....sure you may be powerful....but that doesn't make it any less dangerous for you..." Deoxys replied.

[Kira]

"I was being careful! And I had Dialga and Plakia and a Bunch of Dawn nearby!"
"That doesn't matter Ciro, you could still be hurt."
Ciro whined and shook his head. "But I'm older now!"
"You're still a baby Ciro, your body changed, that's all."
