Suicune nodded rather curtly and turned. "Many thanks," He replied after a moment. Thanks were what he was looking for so he could always give them himself. The wind blowing very powerfully was an indicator of which direction north was. From there, it was reasonably easy to deduce where Southwest was. "If it is a lake, then yes," Suicune replied with a nod. Well, his business had ended once he knew where the lakes were. It was not his job to maintain and watch over two quarreling pokemon. But Keldeo did not so easily give up and quickly leapt after Suicune, trotting carefully at his side.

"Fight me," She insisted, grinning wildly. Heatran was entirely forgotten. Of course, Heatran was always at Stark Mountain. Suicune would be much harder to find on a daily basis. She wanted to take advantage of that and kick Suicune into the ground now.

"No," Suicune replied immediately, raising a paw and kicking Keldeo away. He continued to venture in the direction Groudon had indicated even as Keldeo bounce back up and began following him.

The apology in itself was enough to bring Palkia back to his senses. His tail whisked back the way it came. This time around, the tail was much slowly, moving slowly, even gently, across the grass. Deoxys was thrown to far back for the tail to bother it any longer.

"If you understand, then I have no quarrel with you," Palkia said softly as he let his gaze land on the foreign creature. "You appeared to have landed in a bush of sitrus berries. Make use of them." Letting his eyes linger on Deoxys for only a moment, Palkia returned to the water hole and began drinking once more. It was quite odd to be speaking to Deoxys, as it was with speaking to any of the other legendaries besides father and Palkia's siblings. He had visited Giratina enough and had seen enough on his own to claim he had watched them all grow up. This included Deoxys who, while not from the Other World, was father's creation. Its birth was no secret to Palkia.

Suicune frowned when the pony's insistant on fighting grew too far. Finally loosing it, he turned around and pushed Keldeo backwards, pushing her away with a scowl. Rather quickly, several purple orbs appeared in the air and briefly flew around his body before zooming at Keldeo. With a squawk, the pony dodged the first two before one of the purple orbs struck her face. It was only by closing her eyes that she managed to avoid getting whatever the purple goop was into her eyes but that did nothing to stop the icky feeling of whatever attack Suicune had used. With a snort, Suicune quickly pushed Keldeo away as a shudder passed through the pony's body. The beast quickly turned and started to walk away, having succeeded in making Keldeo stop irritating him by poisoning him. That made two pokemon between Keldeo and Celebi that he had poisoned. Well, it wasn't his fault. If they hadn't gotten involved, it wouldn't have happened.

The fight... had apparently stopped. Darkrai saw a giant coursing wave make its way towards the Magma Storm to only be suddenly frozen on the spot. Whatever words were spoken during the disruption of the battle failed to reach Darkrai's ears. Not that he cared enough to listen anyhow. The battle ending so abruptly was enough to calm himself. Hopefully whoever froze that wave was a water type or someone who could make sure the fight did not continue. What followed next was none of Darkrai's concerns. Had he cared enough for the innocents that laid in the forest, he would of done more, but he was not the protector of the woods and he was not a deity of harmony. He was the bringer of nightmares, the bearer of what made the strong and brave whimper in their slumber. He was no savior and he did not plan to become one. Lingering into the shadows, Darkrai prepared to move onward, away from the damned mountain. His movements were stopped by the rustling of leaves. It was the softest, faintest of noises, but Darkrai was trained to listen to such things. Cascading himself in a shroud of bleak darkness under the trees, Darkrai hide himself and pressed himself against the rough bark. Someone was coming and they were too close for Darkrai's liking. If he fled, they'd surely hear him. Waiting for them to pass would be the safest route. After all, it wasn't like anyone had everyone found him so easily before.

Keldeo blinked several times in confusion as Suicune went his separate way. The purple staining her face seeped under her fur and into her skin at an alarming pace. Her body began to tremble as she slowly climbed to her feet and immediately crashed sideways, twitching slightly. The damage she had already suffered in the fight made the poison take hold easier since she didn't have the energy to even try to fight it off.

 

Suicune quickly made his way away from the mountain and into the forest nearby. Open area quickly turned into leaves and sticks as he followed the wind in the direction Groudon had told him. But he found himself pausing in the forest instead of speeding ahead and raised his head, listening carefully to the surrounding forest. "Who is there?" He called out, looking around. The forest was too quiet for someone not to be nearby. Had one of those legendaries from earlier come to stop him? "Come out now," He barked, a frown forming on his face.

[LeviathinGeneral]

(Is this open?)

[octopi]

((Yes. We have an OOC, please use it.))

 

Cresselia bit back a comment about the difference between intent and real life, then rose into the air and began to circle. If Keldeo was intent on being stubborn, fine - she certainly wouldn't heal her again. Darkrai had made sure to hide his presence this time, and she was having more difficulty finding him. That usually meant he was somewhere nearby, but - she dodged a gout of water from below that had missed its mark - this was going to be difficult with her usual aerial approach. She growled, and glared down at the two Pokemon. Their battle (not to mention very distinctive psychic presences) was throwing her off. Keldeo seemed to know a few Fighting-type moves, but that was no guarantee of her typing, and she wouldn't be able to do much more than annoy Heatran. Regrettably, she'd have to land. She swooped down to the edge of the copse and waited, trying to scan for the corruption through the layers of noise.

 

Then, as if it hadn't been crowded enough, she sensed another presence, vibrant and huge in the way the Legends' signals were. She opened her eyes, annoyed. The new Pokemon was...Suicune? She had heard of him. The purifier. But she had passed through Lake Acuity just days ago, and it was pristine as it had always been. And why was he asking for all three lakes, instead of a specific location of corruption?

 

Something was wrong. It wasn't her place to question. But something was wrong.

 

Suicune called out then, for her or - more likely, Darkrai himself. She envied the tracking skills of some of the other Legends sometimes. But surely Darkrai wouldn't rise to a simple jab like that. She had tried it herself, innumerous times, back when she had been...younger. More naive. Especially since he knew of her presence here. But this could be an opportunity to find out more. "I'm hardly hidden from view," Cresselia said dryly, floating out from her hiding place. "What brings you here? I don't believe you are based in this region. Has an incident occurred?"

[pudding]

Suicune twitched and turned his head towards Cresselia. It was apparent everyone felt the need to get in the middle of his business. It was horribly irritating that it was only now that they started to notice him and what he was doing. Well, that wouldn't work for him. He was carrying through with his plans. "Justice brings me here," He replied as he pressed onwards. What could Cresselia do to stop him anyway? Prance about and sing a moon song? He gestured with his head in the opposite direction he was going. "Do yourself a favor and don't get involved any further. If you do, you'll find yourself in a rather serious predicament and I'm not here to fight. I'm just trying to get the job done." Although he was being deliberately vague, the explanation sounded sinister anyway. He didn't have to explicitly say he was going to poison all the lakes but it was heavily implied he wasn't there for biscuits and tea.

[HomeForFlowers]

Darkrai had his eye closed during the whole exchange between Suicune and Cresselia. It was easy to hid oneself once your bright blue eye was no longer gleaming from the shadows. The white hair upon his head could not be hidden, but it wasn't nearly as disctracting as the eye. Considering that now Cresselia was speaking with Suciune, Darkrai took that as a sign to leave. Suicune had passively aggressively stated that he wanted to be alone and he most likely would not distract Cresselia for long. She'd stay until she thought all suspicion was gone, until she beat Suicune in a fight, or was simply pushed away and left with the choice of watching Suicune leave or stalking him. Either didn't matter, as long as Cresselia was away from Darkrai, he was happy.

 

He began to debate where to float off to when a realization hit him. Suicune's presence, and that of the other legendaries, masked his trail. Cresselia would probably have a hell of a time trying to find him with so many legendaries around. If he stayed where he was, Cresselia would, hopefully, eventually go away in search of him. Suicune's presence was probably overbearing the forest. Since Suicune called for someone to come out and Cresselia replied, she could assume he was either watching from a safe distance or long gone. Considering how age thought of him, (or how Darkrai thought she thought of him,) she'd be mre willing to think he fled as soon as he could as opposed to sitting back and watching. She was more likely to run off and find him than wait and see if he was around. She wasn't as naive and trusting as she use to be. She would think of him a demonic coward instead of a lonely soul trying to survive. If Darkrai stayed put, he'd be rid of Cresselia for a while. As long as Suicune didn't call Darkrai out and or didn't leave, Darkrai would be safe.

"Yes, we are," Victini giggled, before getting a brilliant idea. "Hey, do you want to meet a friend of mine? She may seem scary at first, but she is a real sweetheart." He looked around. Hoepfully she hadn't been caught yet. If she was around, maybe she could actually help disguise Jirachi to fool others.

 

Ho-Oh flew high above Johto. "This land will perish in fire," he cawed rather loudly. "I am the great rainbow Ho-Oh!" With that he swooped down and did one Sacred Fire after another in the Ilex Forest. Hopefully, Suicune and his brothers were out of there by now.

[pudding]

 

Well, a friend of his friend was his friend. That was how the saying went, right? Jirachi thought about it briefly then quickly nodded. He had absolutely no idea who Victini was talking about but as long as they wouldn't make any wishes, he supposed it would be fine. "Yeah," He replied, looking around the forest. His eyes focused on a tree nearby filled with strange berries unlike he had ever seen before. "Hold on," He replied, gesturing to Victini to stay put for a moment as he quickly glided over to the mysterious tree filled with flute-like berries. Carefully, he grabbed one of the berries and pried it from the tree before quickly taking a bite. Before he even managed to swallow it, his cheeks puffed out in shock and he quickly spay the berry out onto the ground. "Spicy!" He yelled, waving his arms around in front of his face as his eyes watered up. "Too spicy!"

[HomeForFlowers]

The realms within the conciseness of her mind was much more alluring than the current reality. Pain had seeped into every corner of Celebi's body. It had etched itself into the very fabrication of her mind. The lull for water was great and thirst was seemingly the only thing upon her mind. It was dismal to think the only woe that she could feel was that of her own. Her forest just became corrupt. Suicune had attacked her forest, he had attempted to murder her. He must of known she was connected to the forest. If the forest withered away, so did she, but not exactly the other way around. The forest could find a new protector, someone else to take the reigns. There were other Celebis wandering through the future and past. They were all her, of course, appearing in peaceful times when they could enjoy themselves. The forest could rely on them to survive. Celebi herself, however, needed the forest. It needed her as well, but not as heavily as she required it. Suicune must of known that Celebi would die if the forest became too ill or would sacrifice herself to protect the forest. He had to of known, right? It wouldn't be like him to just go up and do something without looking into it. Surely Suicune had listened to Celebi ramble on and on as he purified the lake. He hadn't ignored her, right?

 

The concerning thoughts left Celebi as soon as the first flame licked the forest's canopy. A wild shriek ripped out of her mouth, high-pitched and piercing the air like an arrow. Complete and utter pain shot through her voice as she screamed. Her eyes flew open and she flung herself from Mewtwo's arms. When she was unconscious, Celebi had merely shifted uncomfortably, as though in an internal fit. Now, she was fully awake with her once gleaming blew eyes full of terror. Shaky breaths came out of her as she tried to lift herself up on her arms. Her pupils became miniscule when compared to her iris and complete and utter full filled them. Celebi shot her gaze upon all of her visitors. Her eyes wandered from Mewtwo, to Kyruem, and the Lucario who had befriended the Shaymin.

"Someone is burning the forest," Celebi stated, her quite and soft voice quivering. "Someone is killing us. I can feel it.... every leaf that burns and each inch of ground that is scorched, I can feel it all so clearly...

 

"This land will perish in fire,"

 

Celebi spun her head towards the sky as she heard the announcement from above. Her entire body shook with dread. She could feel herself freezing up as the the blaze grow greater. That voice, it was so familiar. Celebi could not pinpoint who it was, but she recognized it. Whoever was speaking must of been someone who rarely came to Ilex forest. It must of been someone who Celebi saw only on rare occasions. Celebi herself was not acquainted with many powerful fire types. Most fire breathers were kept away from Ilex forest, least they set it aflame. If the voice rang a bell, than Celebi must of heard the speaker at least once or twice before. Who could possible promise the end of her forest?

 

"I am the great rainbow, Ho-Oh!"

 

Celebi's heart sank once she heard the speaker blare out his name. Ho-Oh, the master of the legendary dogs, and the one who held reins over Suicune and his brothers. The question of why Ho-Oh was allowing Suicune to try and poison lakes, let alone the one in Ilex forest, was something that came into Celebi's head. The answer was crystal clear now. Ho-Oh was just as maniacal as Suicune was. There he was, swooping down from the sky, burning everything in sight. Suicune said he poisoned the water because he wanted people to respect him. He may not of been as revered as he use to be, but neither were most of the other legendaires. Some of them were feared as they brought destruction in their wake, and others were considering to be myths as though they weren't real at all. No one ever came to Celebi and thanked her for taking care of the Ilex forest, but Suicune didn't see her deciding to kill everyone because they didn't give her praise. She was given a job, and she'd do it. There was no reason to pout because no one acted like they appreciated you. Sure, Celebi took things for granted, but so did everyone else, including Suicune. But, perhaps, the discussion was no longer upon the water mongrel. The problem he brought was was not important as the one Ho-Oh brought. If Celebi had any sense left within her and the heart to do so, she'd curse Suicune for taking the water away so Ho-Oh could burn down the forest without a single worry.

 

They must of planned it, of course. Afflicting the water before burning down the forest so Celebi have to decide whether she wanted to quench the fire in the corrupted waters, letting all life it touched wither away, or try and find a different way to put out the flames. The pure pain Celebi was feeling must of been a bonus. No doubt Ho-Oh had the brothers in a safe location, away from the fiery torrents. What those four probably didn't expect was the arrival of the other legendaires and the fierceness of those who lived within the forest. Although the people of the Ilex forest were normally peaceful, they were not ones to sit around and watch their home burn. Sure enough, those few who had began to march towards Suicune were now glaring at the sky with hisses of anger escaping them.

"He must.... be stopped," Celebi choked out as a bout of coughing followed her. "If he's using Sacred Fire, he'll only have so much left... before he runs out of energy. If he hasn't lost his mind... just yet, he'll scatter his fire around and expect for it to catch on. If the fires... are to be cleansed, he must be removed before the fires are tended to. They shall spread, surely, but they cannot stop unless Ho-Oh is... taken care of." Celebi was speaking both to herself and those around her, including the non-legendaries who listened eagerly to her words. A few of them bounced away without a word, heading straight where Ho-Oh was with a fight upon their mind. Celebi tried to lift herself up, but failed horrible. She flopped back onto her stomach breathing heavily.

Must.... get up.

A few more failed attempts left Celebi agitated and helpless upon the floor. Her teeth were gritted and her body continued to shake horribly.

"Can't... let him... do this... Celebi wheezed as the rims of her eyes began to twinkle. For once in her life, Celebi found herself praying that Lugia would show up and remove Ho-Oh from the premise. If those two were good at anything together, it was fighting. If anyone could stop Ho-Oh, it was Lugia.

The swirling inferno raged on as Suicune froze Keldeo's wave. Cresselia appeared and started talking to Suicune as he walked off. Heatran let the inferno slowly fall back to the ground in ashes before it could burn the nearby forest. She began panting. She was exhausted. She would've snarled as the second water Pokemon dissed Keldeo and poisoned her, but she was too tired. Heatran limped, very slowly, towards a bush with plenty of berries. She ate at least ten before the slightest effect started healing her. She carefully grabbed a few and walked over to the fallen Keldeo. The Lava Dome Pokemon dropped the Oran berries in front of Keldeo. Heatran opened her mouth again and croaked out "Eat. Now."

[pudding]

Pain much worse than any of the damage she had taken during the fight washed over Keldeo in massive waves. The fever came on very quickly, followed not that long after by confusion. As someone approached, she blinked several times and turned her head slowly to stare at the blurry form. A frown formed on her face as she squinted and tilted her head to the side before understanding appeared on her face. Ah, Heatran! In her delusional mind, their fight had not finished and the Lava Dome pokemon was trying to attack her again. Why else would she come so close?

Her entire body trembled as she struggled to stand again, her eyes narrowing as she stumbled left and right but finally managed to stand, one of her hooves crushing the Oran berries she had not noticed. She opened her mouth to either speak or unleash a move but instead leaned over and threw up all over the ground before crashing to the side again, her eyes closed.

 

 

 

Oh Arceus. What were they supposed to do?! What was she supposed to do? In an ordinary situation, Shaymin would have turned and sprinted away and never looked back. But what about Celebi? What about the forest? The only clear thing to do was fight the massive fire bird but really? She couldn't even fly right now. What was she, a tiny little grass pokemon, going to do against Ho-Oh? She looked around at the group then back up at Ho-Oh. Well, maybe if she didn't use grass moves. If she distracted it and then ran like Hell… would that work? No, what was she thinking? She couldn't outrun Ho-Oh! She'd be eaten or something awful of that sort.

Scared out of her wits, Shaymin curled up in a ball on the ground. Sunlight began to gather in her back, targeting her flowers specifically as her entire back began to glow with energy. She had to do something, right? Maybe if she managed to shoot down Ho-Oh or get it to come closer so she could somehow get it into the poisoned pool. That would solve their problems, right?

[Moonlight_Eevee]

Victini winced as Jirachi went around yelling how hot the berry was. "You might want to try mild, lees hot spicy berries first Jirachi," Victini said. "Start off cheri berries first. You'll work your way up to the very hot and spicy tamato berries." He looked aroun, trying to see if Jirachi's yelling had gotten the attention of any Pokemon. "Are you Victini?" Victini froze and immidiately turned around. "Who are you and where are you?"

 

Banette was enjoying a perfectly good nap, high in the trees when he heard shouting. He looked down to see a red and pale furred creature, nex to him was a yellow star creature, yelling about how something was too spicy. He watched with curiousity, he never met a legendary Pokemon before now, he guessed it was Victini, the one Zoroark never stopped talking about. "Are you Victini?" he called out. He didn't know who the other one was, but he saw that Victini had now turned around. "Who are you and where are you?"

[shadow_claw]

Lucario had her own problems to deal with as Celebi spoke. Her scarlet eyes widened and her pupils suddenly shrank to the size of mere pinpricks. The cries of those burning in the forest filled her head as she picked up the many auras in distress. Clutching her head in both paws, Lucario staggered away and crashed into a tree. She needed to get out. Get out and get away from everything. Even though she kept telling herself this, she felt her body slowly sink to the ground against her will. A soft keen escaped her lips as the Lucario curled into a shivering ball.

 

 

He had had enough. Angrily smashing his head into one of the floating orbs, he watched as it sailed away from him. If nobody could stop Suicune, he would do it himself! Arceus forgive him, but he couldn't watch the world go to waste by a spiteful soul! With a snarl, he rushed to the orb depicting the water dog and expanded it. As it grew larger, the other side became more and more detailed, revealing more scenery and eventually sounds. Finally, Giratina dove through it to appear on the other side with a roar.

 

A rift at first tore itself into the air, but it quickly became more spherical in looks. On the other side was the furious serpent, waiting anxiously to punish its target. It emerged from the orb and hovered above Suicune, its deep breath rattling as it tried to control its temper. You...You have done enough. Even as it spoke, the orb grew larger to encompass the both of them. Giratina was done with standing by.

[pudding]

Suicune's head whipped to the side when a horrifying roar ripped through the air. Confusion was quickly replaced with hostility as a massive but recognizable serpent appeared in the midst of a rift. "Giratina," He chided but quickly leapt away from the expanding orb. He was not going to be stopped so easily. "I have not even started!" He snarled back. Now was not the time to deal with him. He was not going to stop until all of the water his paws had ever touched was fouled and polluted and those ignorant pokemon who dared not appreciate him finally learned how to fear him. "Leave me be. I have no quarrel with you and do not wish to have more enemies. Surely you can understand where I come from." The orb seemed dangerous… he had to avoid touching it at all costs.

 

Jirachi stuck out his tongue and began wiping it on his hands, trying to rid his tastebuds of the spiciness. But he turned at the sound of the voice and looked around in confusion, his tongue still stuck comically out of his mouth. "Who are you talking to?" He asked, drifting down to the ground. The yellow streamers settled on the ground around him as he tilted his head to the side and turned in a full circle. "Hello? What is your name, stranger?"

[shadow_claw]

At Suicune's words did the banished one roar again. He circled the water type slowly, jaws snapping with irritation as he extended his rift. You are a fool! I will not sit by idly and let you destroy the beautiful world I cannot touch! True to his word, Griatina didn't near the ground or anything other than the air. He truly was forbidden to touch the real world and would uphold his punishment. Like Suicune, he had once been arrogant. He had been punished in doing so. Suddenly diving down in an attack, he snapped at Suicune. If Suicune wouldn't entered the rift, he would force the legendary.

[Moonlight_Eevee]

"Aren't you a cutie," Banette laughed before floating downwards from the tree, pockiting his mega stone. He had the mega necklace around his neck, so he couldn't exactly hide that. "Name's Banette. If you're looking for Zoroark, she's long gone. She doesn't exactly like to sit still in one place for to long." "Oh, I was kind of hoping she'd help me protect Jirachi. But yes, my name is Victini, and this is my friend Jirachi. She kind of needs protecting from others." Banette looked at Jirachi before looking at Victini. "As a friend of Zoroark, I offer my services. What do you say?" If Zoroark talked good about her, then she defiantely was a friend.

 

Victini was disheartened when she heard Zoroark was gone. "Oh, I was kind of hoping she'd help me protect Jirachi," Victini said. "But yes, my name is Victini, and this is my friend Jirachi. She kind of needs protecting from others."

 

 

Yveltal turned her head as she heard roaring going on. Her eyes twinkled. Someone must be in danger! Taking wing, she flapped eagerly to where the fight was going on. All she could tell was that a big blue dog was fighting a gigantic beast. But who was the attacker and who was the victim?

[pudding]

Suicune sprung backwards, away from the sudden attack. Giritina was being quite serious about this. It looked like he was going to have to attack. What a pity. He braced himself against the ground slightly then turned his head to the sky and released an icy blast upwards. This would come back to bite him slightly but it would be well worth it later. Clouds quickly formed over the forest and hail began to fall, striking the ground with a surprising amount of force. Some of the hail struck Suicune, pelting him for some damage. But it would give him an advantage, at least. "You have one last chance," He replied, deciding to dismiss the earlier attack. "Just leave me be and I will leave you be."

 

Jirachi tilted his head slightly to the side as he observed the strange pokemon. Banette. "That's me," He explained quickly, waving to the Banette. "I'm Jirachi." Since he had been hiding for so long, a lot of new pokemon probably wouldn't know him. Unless there were stories and such but he didn't know that. He had been in isolation for so long, after all. He paused then floated over to the Banette and began to circle him. "I like you," He finally declared, settling on the ground beside Banette. He turned his head to Victini, a smile on his face. "What do you think?"

[Vorgin]

A roar in the distance and a change in the air brought Groudon's head towards the direction Suicune left. Looking at Heatran and the now fainted Keldeo, Groudon called out to Heatran, "I am going to investigate the noise over there. Something is seriously amiss. You need to rest and watch the water horse. I'll be back before long." Looking in the distance, Groudon began to move his massive body towards the noise, the ground shaking with every step, he made his way into the woods.

 

This whole situation has been problematic. What was to be a peaceful visit with an old friend, might turn into a fight, or what scared Groudon more... A war.

[Razzyy]

Heatran was scared when Groudon went to investigate. It sounded like a war over there. She watched as a large Y-like beast flew down across the treetops. Hail began falling and pelted Heatran across the back. She let out a groan of pain. Heatran quickly grabbed the fallen Keldeo by it's back, much like a cat did to its young. She dragged Keldeo over to the protection of a nearby tree. Hopefully the young equine wouldn't resist.

More roars and snarls came from the distance, but it wasn't something Heatran could fight. Yet.

[pudding]

Keldeo did not move very much as she was lifted up or when the roars sounded in the distance. The hail, however, was enough to stir her slightly. She lifted her head slightly and opened her eyes, blinking several times. Her throat burned from emptying the contents of her stomach only a few seconds early but the pain from the poison far outclassed that.

Keldeo closed her eyes again, this time deliberately. She needed to rest. So she did. Soft snores began drifting from the sleeping pony. It wouldn't make the poison go away but it would help heal some of her other injuries such as the ones she sustained during the fight.

 

[octopi]

Kyurem was still watching from a good distance when the forest began to burn.

 

Ho-oh was here, they noted, faintly surprised. They didn't remember the firebird's domain, but he was connected to the three Legendary Beasts somehow. The entire trio, and now their master as well. This changed things - the world would end in flames, and without clean water, there would be no fighting back or reclaiming the world. Kyurem didn't enjoy heat at the best of times, even in their Reshiram form, but they could simply fly up and watch from a distance. Would this ending not be so very amusing?

 

No, they decided. It wouldn't. They did this for the thrill, after all - and what was the point betting on a sure winner? It would be much more interesting if the odds were evened out a bit. And they did enjoy a bit of a skirmish here and there. "Everyone who still can, I would suggest you get out," they said, voice rumbling. Electric light enveloped their wings, then their entire body - and Kyurem shot into the sky in their Zekrom form, tail turbine blazing. "Don't believe I know you too well," they purred. "So I don't have a sarcastic quip to start the fight with. Instead - " Kyurem charged toward Ho-oh, cloaked in blue electric light.

 

--

 

Uxie couldn't hide her grin. "Oh, alright. If it's just a short trip, I'm sure Arceus wouldn't mind. Pack up then, we..." She trailed off and raised a hand, as if testing for rain. "It is getting rather warm here, isn't it? I think I feel the snow melting a little. And - hold on - I can sense something. A spatial distortion? It's similar to Palkia and Dialga's, but... ah! Giratina, of the reverse world. But why would he be...?" This was a great opportunity, really (she had only met Giratina fleetingly in the past, even though he was ostensibly based in Sinnoh), but Uxie couldn't bring herself to be excited about it. Giratina had a bad reputation at the best of times, and he couldn't stay in this world for long without damaging himself or everything around him - so why was he here now? "Giratina has access to scrying devices," she continued slowly, one hand propping up her chin. "They allow him to see what is going on in certain parts of this world. If a situation is so dire that he's deigned it necessary to deal with it himself..." Uxie snapped her head up and nearly opened her eyes. "Something very wrong is happening. North...northeast, in the direction of Stark Mountain, and this unnatural sun seems to be stronger there as well." She bit her lip. "What could this be, sister? Arceus hasn't given us an official mission, but they haven't for decades. Should we go see what's happening?"

[Moonlight_Eevee]

Victini had to thin for a moment. If this Banette truly was a friend of Zoroark's, that'd be great for them. However, if this Pokemon was an enemy waiting to get a wish in...Victini would personally deal with him. "Okay," Victini said. "I guess we could let him stay." He then did a small glare at Banette, daring him to try anything, but the Banette just blinked and cocked his head.

 

Banette watched as Victini stood there, weighing his options. He was surprised when Victini told him he could stay, but then did a cute glare in his direction in which the Banette jus cocked his head in confusion. He really didn't know legnedaries much.
