Golden Forest

(After this post)

Since Xavier, Monty and the gang are so eager to take part in the first lore exposition of the week, they are led together with the kits and cubs of various species, towards the hills southwest as soon as the noms are finished.

After some hours, the group will have would had (yeah, time dilation due to posts and timezones is weird) reached a covered area of the forest where some remains of human civilization can be seen. There is a sort of wooden warehouse, more or less well maintained and custodied by Loudred and Nidorina. Surrounding it there are such things as wide trees with carvings, weird silver-colored tendrils flying from one tree to another, and some large panels not unlike those used for advertisments, covered in paintings featuring various events in history.

Gabite: <You can have them if you want, I don't want more troubles.> -- walks around -- <And this is Sharpedo's Bluff, a pretty normal place. Those stairs lead to Treasure Town.>

Helios takes a moment and flies up to where Teala is, hovers around her for a moment.

Helios: <Uhm... didn't Tracer tell you something about travelling to a place very very far away, Teala?>

Algira -dances around: <Yeah, the whole Pokémon only wo-er...> -- stares at the Gabite, gives off an Intimidation pattern -- <Pokémon only town, yeah...>

The Gabite mutters something under her breath, decides to walk away, not before letting some harsh words to the Masquerain. She gives Teala a concerned look before leaving.

Algira: <Oh Maekrite is also here... somewhere.>

Silentran♂ and Maekrite are nomming some grass while the Nidorino explains the Nidoran♂ some things about recent history (but not too much of it). It is at a random moment of rest that Maekrite's ears stiffen and he looks around, having heard something.

Maekrite: <Hey, I think I heard [Riana]. Come on, let's take a look.>

Silentran♂: <...Riana? Who's that?> -- follows orderly.

Maekrite: <Oh it's... I can explain it later.> -- rolls eyes.

While heading to see the others Maekrite notices a certain Growlithe and Kirlia wandering around checking on random mons. He supresses a leer (doesn't like them for some reason) then pokes the kit to move ahead.

Maekrite: <I guess Riana and Shahinne would love to meet each other.>

Slentran♂ -picks up, looks interested: <Oh! Shahinne! I have a Starly, right? How is she doing?>

Maekrite -drops ears: <...I wish I knew.>

Maekrite and Silentran♂ head to where Riana and the others are, not expecting to find also Teala there.

Maekrite: <Specialize? That's very good! Don't worry,> -- pats Teala -- <you'll get the hang of it. Now, everyone, this is Silent small version :3> -- picks Silentran♂ up.

Silentra♂: <eeeeee~ don't do that!> -- flails.

Maekrite puts Silentran♂ down, ignores the horn poke from the Nidoran, then talks to Toothless.

Maekrite: <Well we've been spending the last few days trying to find the others, not to mention Silent's memories. It's almost all back to its place now.> -- looks at the group -- <What about you? Any places to explore?>

Silentran♂ -to Teala: <Wait how did another mon bring you here? How did we come here in the first place? ._.>

Treasure Town, PMD-A

Teala picks up one of the shards and for a moment nothing happens. However, the shard slips just a short distance in her paws, enough to make it brush the second shard and trigger a cosmic reverberation that lasts only a moment and can only mean one thing…

~blip~

????, Johto, PMD-B

The group of two Nidos, a Salamence, a Druddigon, a Relicanth and a Pidove suddenly find themselves in what seems to be a large park surrounded by forests. There is what appears to be a big [fountain] by the center of the park and some Murkrow can be seen soaring in the sky.

Silentran♂: <Uh?> -- sniffs around -- <W-what the...?>

Maekrite: <You mean like this, Teala?> -- grumbles in anticipation of possible oppossition.

The two Nidos look around, Maekrite notices a large [tower] to the north.

Maekrite wanders around for a moment sniffing the grass. He senses something strange but can not exactly decide what iit is. He returns his attention to Teala and Toothless.

Maekrite: <Well, we'll have to go sleep at a thicket for safety. I know we have a Salamence around but we should try to appear friendly.> -- to Toothless -- <I'll settle things with the elders when we get to the burrows.>

Silentran♂ goes sit by Maekrite and starts dozing, complains something about researching schedule.

Maekrite -to Teala: <Oh, you'd be a lot of help. We can run turns or something. If you sense something dangerous just growl, our patrollers do remember you so perhaps we can get some assistance.>

Maekrite didn't know how wrong he was of course but the intention was clear - the group had to be well organzed to avoid an incident before they could be sure to reach safe ground, be it the colony to the east or the city to the south. After wondering for a moment Maekrite asked Toothless to keep an eye and a claw on Riana since if there were predators around she was probably the most obvious target (that and foreign birds had a bad rap in the area because of a Staraptor). Next was Cleo. He asked Teala if they should move closer to the fountain so that the Relicanth would have ready access to water.

Maekrite gave the Druddigon a sorta pep-up pawbump, he then noticed a certain kit dozing.

Maekrite: <And now the problem is what to do with you... I'm not sure I'll want to explain this to the Colony... or to Mom...> -- shudders.

Silentran♂: <I can roam around~> -- yawns.

Maekrite -growls and narrows eyes: <Not a chance, don't want to risk you getting caught like that girl. Or worse, nommed while under my watch. You need to be kept warm.>

Before Silentran♂ can do anything Maekrite picks him up, takes him to a thicket and leaves him on a small hole on the ground; he sits by the side afterwards and after pinning the Nidoran♂ down with the weight of his neck and head he starts licking him asleep, much to the annoyance of the former Trainer.

National Park, PMD-B, Sometime Wonky~

(After some prodding by Teala)

Maekrite: <...A-awww.> -- yawns, licks Silentran♂ -- <I was finally happy with life...>

The Nidorino shakes up and wakes up, realizing that Teala is watching he blushes a little.

Maekrite: <Uh, yeah... we should be moving.> -- to Toothless -- <Can I ask you to walk, Toothless? Don't want to scare any of the patrollers.>

Maekrite starts moving towards the center fountain.

Silentran♂: <Toothless, this is not the National Park. At least not the one we know.>

Suddenly Maekrite motions for Teala to get ready; as if on cue the group is approached from two directions by a group of Pidgeotto, Loudred, Rattata, Raticate, Weedle and Nidorin@s. Though the Pokémon look aggressive, they only walk in and surround, not actively trying to perform any attack on the group.

Loudred leader: <My, these days we have had a lot of foreigners. All of you, paws and wings where we can see them. Where are your [permits]?>

Silentran♂ -blinks: <Permits?>

(After this post

One of the Pidgeotto steps forwards when Toothless talks.

Pidgeotto: <Oh and what are you going to do? Bring another scuffle with your 'gator friends?>

Maekrite -growls: <Teala, they don't remember me. Or this is a bad prank or those shards brought us to a different Colony...>

Loudred: <Hang on, hang on...> -- points to Teala -- <If you guys are so lost then you have to come with us.>

Suddenly Silentran♂ peeks from behind Maekrite.

Silentran♂: <Look it's kinda late for these pranks, can we just talk to Inka?>

Loudred: <....O_o>

Everymon else: <…….> -- gasp, look at each other in silence.

After a moment, the Loudred comes to talk to Teala.

Loudred: <O'kay… you definitively need to come with us.>

Teala, Maekrite and the group are led to the depths of the…

Golden Forests

…where they are set up to sleep somewhere around near a hill; a Linoone and a Floatzel stay guard. One of the Nidorino also approaches.

Nidorino -to Maekrite and Teala: <You two will be responsible for the group's stay. We'll bring a container for the fish tomorrow,> -- points to Cleo -- <and then you'll have to explain some things to our lorekeepers. For now it is better that you sleep...>

The Nidorino turns and walks away, Maekrite frowns as he manages to distinguish a small mark in the Pokémon's foreleg.

Roxas conveniently appears near where Sol is; she should really know better.

Sol: <~Oh~ Good to see you… er,> -- produces the [magical fire arrow] -- <I think we owe you guys this for rescuing us?>
