Iron Tail for Bagon and Merry Memories

First topic message reminder :



The archen swallowed as he peered down the seemingly infinite darkness of the Obsidian Crevice's rift. The thought of falling into the eternal pit of despair made him tremble, so he spoke to himself, "It's okay, just have to stay up here and NOT fall into the pit of doom." The archen shook his feathers to try and get rid of of fluffed up they had appeared. If he looked calm and not so frightened, the odds of a pokemon attacking him would become smaller. Pokemon of the feral nature liked scared prey, and Acro did not want to be seen as a cowardly piece of a prey, even though he was cowardly by nature himself.

"Shi...ny?" The archen asked, he had never heard of this phenomenon before, but it intrigued him. The archen's thoughts wandered and eventually became quiet as the voices took over his mind once more.
"Weak"
"Useless"
"Heartless"
Heartless? That was a new one. The archen wondered what made him so heartless though, until the voice the uttered the word spoke up once more, "The sneasel obviously needs help, and yet you don't assist her. You find nothing while she labors away!"
He swallowed as he began to search more frantically, spotting an item not too far off and pouncing on it, hoping to no longer be weak, useless and heartless.

Crysel went over to where Acro got the item and nodded. "Looks like you found something. A brown gummi. Should be useful for you. So that is two gummis for each of us. If nothing else, we are really good at finding... well items. Just not what we are looking for apparently." It was like some cruel god of chance was keeping them from getting that TM. Perhaps it was right under their noses and they were passing it by? In any case, they needed to keep looking.

The archen looked at the brown gummi, beginning to think that the sneasel really was color blind and perhaps this "shiny" phenomenon the sneasel spoke of didn't actually exist. The archen decided not to comment about it, maybe it was just the darkness or he had misheard the sneasel! He continued onward, searching high and low for their item they and the bagon desired. Acro wondered what the bagon was so afraid of to want this TM so badly, the mission said something about it being weak to steel, what was weak to steel but super effective against dragon though? Ice types? Were Ice types week to steel?

Crysel didn't really much care why the Bagon wanted the steel type move nor what it was afraid of. Everyone feared something. If you avoided what you feared, you would be fine... if they were big deadly predators that was. As Crysel and Acro continued on, Crysel spotted an item in the darkness and went over to grab it. Unknown to her though, this was a trap where a pokemon jumped from behind a rock to attack her. She would not be able to dodge the surprise attack.

Acro squawked as a brown reptile seemed to fly from behind the rock and attack the sneasel. When the attack finished the sandile quickly grabbed its Blast Seed in its jaws and dug into the ground, hiding its movements underneath. The sandile burrowed its way around before erupting from the surface with a burst of dirt and debris as flames seemed to be coming from its jaws, it had eaten the blast seed and the seed had given it this ability for a moment. The effects stopped and Acro's wing had been damaged as the archen screeched in surprise and pain. The sandile dove back into the ground as if it were water and prepared its next strike.

Crysel growled when the Sandile's Bite attack latched onto her arm. In response, she used her free claw to hit him with a False Swipe attack. The attack hurt the ground type, but it quickly got off and dug underground. Crysel had luckily backed off with quick reflexes when the blast seed start blasting everywhere. Underground yet again, Crysel closed her eyes and tried to hear where the attack would be. Acro was safe, flying types, able to fly or not, could dodge a dig attack. It would attack her. The prediction was true as it came at her from the left. Reacting fast, she stopped the attack by hitting it with a Quick Attack.

The sandile screeched in pain as it was stuck by the attack. It landed on the ground, but this time didn't go under. It whipped its head towards the sneasel in a low hissing sounds similar to a feraligatr's. As it hissed, the sandile's maw grew red and its fangs were coated in flames, Fire Fang. The archen that was allied with the sneasel's tail began to glow and become heavier. The archen quickly darted forward and struck the sandile, but the sandile ended up being propelled towards the sneasel as it began the attack.

Crysel was stupefied by the... different decision of knocking the super effective using pokemon straight at the pokemon it would hurt most. She quickly shook out of it and thought quickly. And attack would leave her open to a bad hit. Dodging would still get a glancing hit cause he would turn his head to get her. However... Crysel quickly reached in her bag and grabbed the stun seed she had found before. She threw it straight for the Sandile's gaping maw. It went straight in and she dodged at the last second. The seed had petrifried the Sandile and it landed on the ground, unable to move. Crysel got up, thinking of if she should attack the pokemon...

Acro's regret flooded his mind, he didn't mean to hit the pokemon towards the sneasel! The archen immediately began apologizing, "I'm sorry! I-I didn't mean to hit it towards you I j-just wanted to hit it with the iron t-tail. I-I'm sorry!" He looked to the sandile, it didn't move but still breathed. It looked like it was about to cry too, the archen wondered if it was scared of them now or perhaps if it had been scared before it attacked, "What's up with it?" he wondered after her finished his barrage of apologies.

She shook her head at Acro's apologies. "You were just trying to help. You had a good hit. Just try to not be so apologetic." She went over to the Sandile and looked it in the eye. "...Its just a kid. He either was defending his territory or acting tough." She lightly knocked the Sandile's head, just enough so he could move. "Look, we are just passing through on guild business. We'll get out of here, okay?" The Sandile look at her for a few seconds before nodding. Crysel continued on, expecting Acro to follow.

The archen looked at the paralyzed Sandile in concern before turning around and following the Sneasel, they had business to take care of. No need to be wasting time making a pokemon they beat up feel better about themselves. The Archen still felt a bit bad for beating the small pokemon up...he tried to take his mind off of it through the mission, searching for the item and spotting something in the distance, "Wh-What's that?" he asked, still shaken from the battle's surprises which caused him to stutter..

Crysel didn't feel bad. After all, the Sandile had bitten her arm first... which still hurt by the by. Sandiles had powerful jaws. The hurt she had given him was fair pay back. She rubbed her arm where she was bitten, but did not say anything else nor complain. At the mention of something, Crysel peered hard toward it. "Well... I may be wrong, but I think its a TM. It could be what we were looking for." She went with Acro, heading to the TM.

Acro darted towards the TM and picked it up, "Aw it's just TM Dark Pulse...Pretty rare but not what we need," The archen sighed. He looked at the vast chasm next to them, "What if the TM is on the other side?" he asked worriedly. It would take forever to get over there, and they still had no idea what time it was. The clouds hid the sun's shine, the clouds were dark and gloomy, trees were far and few. The gloomy atmosphere certainly didn't help the Archen's feelings about the mission...

Crysel sigh and shrugged. "You know how mystery dungeons work. They are never the same each time you go through them and the places items are always switch up unless its at the beginning, end, or those spots where one can rest. I suggest we keep looking until nightfall and into noon tomorrow. We can camp out here if need be. We have food after all. Just relax. We have lots of time." Crysel forged on, coming across an item pretty quickly. "See? Just gotta keep looking item after item."

"Switch places and items...what? what in the world are you talking about?" The archen blinked, confused immensely by the sneasel's explanation. The archen was too focused on staring at the ground and trying to figure out what the Sneasel was talking about with the physical places being switched up. I was physically impossible! How would pokemon be able to live in this place if it was constantly switching up? They wouldn't be able to, it was just impossible!

(My characters follow the idea that these are actual places that don't switch around and have actual stairs)
