More Joy

First topic message reminder :

It was beautiful. After Revira had emerged into that other world, all she had seen up to now were things she wouldn't even have thought of as possible before. Crime. Pollution. Hatred. The show Johto Shore.
After all those horrifying things she had finally reached a calm, clean place again. An underwater forest, full of corals of every imaginable kind. In the distance, some Pokémon were swimming, although Revira couldn't figure out, who or what they were.
Maybe she should approach them? They might know, what had happened to turn this world into what it was now. Maybe Revira could fix it.
But how? She didn't even know much about this world at all.
A world, that had never been discovered by anyone before her and those few others, who ventured out as well. Maybe she could become a hero and save this world!

Even though Proteus managed to hit the Buizel and not the Omanyte, the attack was powerful enough to knock the Water type away and into Revira. While her being knocked off of the coral caused a small bit of damage to the Rock type, the second hit allowed her to think clearly again. Turning around to face the meanie once more, Revira decided for the tactical advantage of a ranged attack, even though close combat might cause more damage.
The water in front of her cooled down to temperatures, that were cold enough to form tiny ice crystals inside it. As she launched the Aurora Beam at her adversary, the crystals acted as prisms, reflecting the light and splitting it up into its colours, making it look as if there was a tiny rainbow being launched.

Proteus witnessed the beam of light strike the buizel. He blinked, confused as to what had just happened. Where had that beam come from? He had not seen the beam come from his friend since his friend was just out of vision. Was there another enemy nearby? His confused thoughts came to a halt when he looked at the buizel, its foot and tail were frozen! It was beginning to sink to the forest floor, it struggled to swim up, but it continued to sink.

Proteus wasn't doing anything. Why? Didn't he want for that meanie to be defeated as well? Or was something wrong? Hopefully this catastrophe-dungeon-thingy wasn't turning him into one of those evil meanies as well! That  couldn't happen! Revira wouldn't allow it! But what could she do? There had to be a source of this meanieness somewhere...maybe it would be in that tower-dungeon-something...
The duo had to get there as soon as possible! But what if the Buizel would follow them and do mean things again?  Since it had already begun to freeze in place, the Omanyte had an idea.
Maybe it just needed some time to think about what it had done?
So freezing it completely should help it! Quickly the Rock type created more of that icy water and launched another Aurora Beam at the orange Pokémon.

The buizel was unable to avoid the attack, and was struck once more. This time it was frozen completely just like the little Omanyte wanted. Proteus meanwhile, had finally figured out that the beam was coming from his friend. He watched the buizel freeze over, thinking that his assistance was not needed.

As she saw, that her target had frozen completely, the Omanyte swam over to it, adressing the Buizel in a stern voice:
"I hope you've learned your lesson, young man! One doesn't simply use evil magic to throw peaceful Pokémon around! You're lucky, that I won't be telling your mother about this! What would she be thinking about you? Huh? Now...you've got all the time in the world to think about what you have done."
Now the Water type had certainly learned its lesson and would leave the other Pokémon alone or maybe even make friends!
Happily Revira continued swimming around.

Proteus was happy that the buizel was now no longer a threat. He heard nothing of what the omanyte spoke of to the buizel. He simply turned around while speaking, "we should keep moving. There could be some joy seeds lingering about from all the hubbub we caused with the buizel. We might have shifted the sand and revealed any that could have been hiding!" (once again phone..)

"But if what we did shifted the sand around, wouldn't it be possible, that we buried those seeds? Maybe it would be possible to constantly shift the snads around with that magic the orange Pokémon used and with a filter the rate at which the seeds could be found would be vastly increased."
Revira was so absorbed in thinking about more efficient ways of finding those Joy Seeds, that she completely forgot, that Proteus had even said anything else. Thus she just sat on the ocean floor thinking. With an automated system, they could just visit ocassionally and collect the seeds...they wouldn't even have to train. This was worth thinking of.

Proteus had no clue what the small pokemon was saying anymore, but pretended that he understood. He gave a swish of his tail and propelled himself forward, his body weaving through the water like the fish he was. He pointed his mouth down a bit and pushed with his fins as he submerged slightly deeper into the water as the sea bed seemed to slant downwards slightly, like a hill on land. The golden magikarp spoke, "Where did we leave off on our game again?"

"I am fairly certain, that my last word was "obnubilate". So that would mean, that it's your turn now."
Happy, that Proteus had apparently remembered their game and not only that - he seemed to have understood her vision of large-scale Joy Seed farming! Maybe this world wasn't as primitive as the Omanyte had believed. Maybe they just needed someone, who could tell them, how they could improve!
Or...better a council of Pokémon, who could do that! That way nothing too bad would happen, should one Pokémon go crazy with power!
Leaving her fantasies alone again, Revira focussed on the search. A slanted sea bed could improve their chances of finding one of those seeds, as they might have been magiced down this slope and then got stuck in that area.

Proteus had also thought of looking down along the bottom of the slope, he pushed some sand around with his fin every now and then, searching for the tell tale signs of a wondrous Joy Seed that he loved so much. He could tell that he was becoming closer to what he wanted. He was almost ready to go to the tower! He was sure the Milotic was on her way or beginning to go there by now. "Eggs" He spoke for the sake of the game as he found something hidden among the coral where the forest began once more.

"Sabin! The unit of acoustic absorption of one square foot of a perfect absorber!"
With her tentacles the Omanyte was searching the sand for anything, that might become useful in the future...or simply for things, that looked interesting.
What did those Joy Seeds even look like? She could have already found one without noticing it!
Which plant were they even coming from? That knowledge could make their search so much easier.
Another reason to try and grow one of those Joy Seed plants! There were so many opportunities!
With all those thoughts racing through her mind, Revira's slow crawl over the ocean ground turned into a journey of the mind as well.

"Nothing" Proteus spoke as he pocketed a strange blue stone he had never seen before. He swam along, giving a sigh at their recent finding of everything that was not Joy Seeds. Where did they all go? Was their luck gone? Why was the Omanyte speaking such difficult words Proteus had never heard of before? The magikarp continued on, searching, finding nothing. He was close to just giving up by now. Maybe he should just go the tower as he was now? Would it change anything if he stayed longer to search for more seeds?

"Galeanthropy! The belief to be a cat!
It's a funny word I think! How could someone believe to be something they aren't? It's obvious to see, that I am an Omanyte and you are a Proteus after all! I have a question, though. What's a cat?"
Still as happy as ever Revira slithered over the sandy ocean ground in search of more of those mystical seeds. It would be interesting to find out, just how they managed to make Pokémon stronger. Were there some chemicals in them? Was it a Placebo-effect? Or could it be magic?
There would come a time when Revira would know. But that time was not now.
Now she had to wait for them to find those items so they could save the world!

Proteus struggled to think of a word for "Y", he had been about to speak of "Yoga" which was something he heard of that fighting pokemon would do, when a blue shape raced past him and nearly crashed into him. He shook himself and felt a piercing pain in his scales, he had been struck with a Corsola Spike, and the attacker was a horsea!

(Sorry for such bad posts lately, it's either this or nothin |D)

"Hey, "Ow" doesn't start with a "Y", does it? Or do you have a different language here, that's only similar to ours by coincidence? Why would there be so many similarities and yet such a striking difference then?"
Revira just continued to talk, completely oblivious to their attacker. All she could see, was that her friend had apparently found another item!
"Hey, you've found a....thing! Is that one of those Joy Seeds? It doesn't remind me of a seed though. It looks like those plant-stone-Pokémon thingies! Maybe those seeds are growing on them somehow!"
It was difficult to be aware of one's surroundings with the inability to look forward while swimming and especially with such a new world and lots of theories and fantasies in your mind, but the Omanyte took the cake. If she were to suddenly wake up under the moonlit sky, she would probably be wondering about the distance from the ground to the "ceiling" without even realizing, that her house was gone.
And just the same phenomenon took place right now.
