The Silver Veil

First topic message reminder :

A golden magikarp approached the tower and poked his head out of the water to look at the entrance. The door was huge. The tower was huge. Everything, was huge. It was larger than him in comparison. He swallowed. Luckily he had friends to come and help him. A Omanyte that desired to "save" this world, and a Milotic that was friendly and dreamed of treasure. Proteus looked at the entrance, this was going to be a tough and long trip.

The golden fish was startled to see a Omastar decided to slap him with one of its tentacles. The pokemon hissed and was followed by a relicanth and a omanyte similar to Revira. The pokemon seemed to glare at the trio of trespassers. Proteus swallowed and spoke, "uh, I don't think they like us being here..." the pokemon had swam back close to the group so he would not be striked all of a sudden once more. Proteus looked at the pokemon nervously, they seemed pretty strong, had they lived here for a long time?

"H-hold on!" cried Serenne, trying to stop the three hostile pokemon from attacking, "We don't mean any harm. We're just here to explore!"
The young Milotic hoped that reasoning with these Pokemon would help prevent them from hurting anyone... since she'd rather not hurt them and she was sure they'd rather not get hurt either. However she had no intention of leaving, especially when some new information about the Seven Treasures she were so intrigued by could be held within this very tower.

Had Revira been excited about exploring this tower, she now was beyond extatic. Immediately upon seeing the other Pokémon, she broke into one of those trademark rants of hers:
"Hello, you all! Who are you? I am Revira! I come from another world and we are exploring this place so we can turn everything upside-down to find the cure for the horrible corruption, that has melted your brains and turned you into mindless slaves!"
While her intentions may have been pure, it was undeniable, that the Omanyte's abilities pertaining to social inteaction were...less than optimal. Maybe it hadn't been such a good idea to bring her along...

The golden sushi watched as the three wild pokemon looked at each other and back at three explorers, they only became more irritated at being called "Mindless Slaves" The omanyte seemed to glare at Revira especially, while the relicanth and the Omastar glowered at the Milotic and the magikarp. They seemed to be just merely weary of them now then aggressive.
Proteus was unsure of what to do, should he attack? His friends did not seem to want to fight, Serenne being a peaceful pokemon and Revira being oblivious to thinking before speaking. The magikarp waited, letting his friends try and settle this since he usually made situations worse.

"Eep," blinked Serenne, spotting the wary glares the Pokemon were giving them after Revira's words. She was pretty sure that calling someone a mindless slave wouldn't go over well, but remained silent about that part.
"We promise we won't do any harm if you just let us explore in peace," she smiled, hoping to get out of this situation without having to resort to fighting the tower's native species. After all, they weren't the ones in the wrong. If anything, she and her new friends were intruding upon their home.

Revira was a bit annoyed.
Why didn't the Pokémon she was traveling with tell these other Pokémon the entire truth?
But they must have had their reasons, and the Omanyte didn't want to annoy the two of them, nor did she want to waste any more of these three poor Pokémons' time. Thus the Rock type decided against ranting on once more. They would realize, what had happened soon enough when she would find the cure after all! For science!
Maybe she could find the cure with an AI...could she possibly transfigure her own consciousness onto an AI? Maybe with moon rocks and neurotoxin?

Proteus watched as Serenne tried to make peace with the three pokemon. The three looked between each other as if having a silent debate, before the Relincanth suddenly turned and swam into the darkness, the light of the veil no longer illuminating the creature. The omastar joined, along with the omanyte last. The omanyte had turned and pointed one of its many tentacles at its eyes before pointing back to the trio of pokemon and swimming off backwards, its tentacles waving in the water.
Proteus blinked, "Um...thanks Serenne..." he managed to say, confused by the Omanyte's "Final words".

Serenne blinked at the Omanyte's odd gesture, though getting it's meaning before it swam off. She turned and smiled to Proteus as he thanked her, replying with a cheerful, "You're welcome!" just glad that she had managed to avoid an all out fight. After all, they were here to explore new territory and perhaps find one of the so called 'Seven Treasures' not hurt others.

(Srry for short post. I figured it was better for it to be short than not there at all |D)

Revira sighed.
While they may have lost te opportunity to learn something from these creatures, there still was the enormous structure to explore. Which secrets and mysteries might be hidden within? It all was so exciting! To think, that this entire tower was hidden away in a cave just a few meters next to her city. It truly was a miracle. Who built it? And why? And did they use the metric or the limbical system for measuring everything out? Maybe they even had their own system.
But no, they wouldn't let her ask them.
Revira made a mental note to return to this place some other time to study it in its fullest.

The magikarp blinked and gave a thrash of his tail to propel himself forwards. The golden glint of his scales shone in the light of the veil, which could either be a beacon attracting more pokemon or be warding off pokemon slightly. The fish had no idea with color could have that kind of use, but only cared for finding the treasure that could lay here. It wasn't like they were on a mission, so why should he care about anything else, aside from the well being of his friends of course! The magikarp spoke, "So...these treasures....how much are they worth if they were to be sold?" of course Proteus had no intention of selling the item, as Serenne has desired it, but curiosity had taken hold of him.

Serenne blinked as she swam gracefully alongside the Magikarp, her long, lithe body effortlessly moving through the water as she contemplated Proteus's question. She had to admit, though she had always been interested in the treasures, she had never once thought about selling them. Due to their notoriety though, she expected that they could sell for millions if the right buyer was found; not that she wanted to sell the treasured objects if they ever actually found one.
"Worth quite a bit I would imagine," she replied with a small smile, "Maybe even priceless since each treasure is supposedly one of a kind."

Storing water in her shell and quickly expelling it again, Revira moved deeper into the tower, her sporadic movements giving the situation the impression of a lagging video game, were it not for her tentacles, which were moving in complicated patterns to make all of that possible.
"You're not actually thinking about selling them, are you? Think of all the things one could do with a teasure like this! If it is that valuable, it has to be powerful, and with that power, one could help pokémonity as a whole! It obviously has to be donated to science!"
As the Omanyte had no way of seeing, where she was swimming, it occassionally happened for her to simply bump into a wall of the sunken building, although her shell kept her from harming herself too much.

"N-No! I was just curious!" The magikarp turned to tell the omanyte who swam along from behind. The pokemon turned back to the way they had been heading just as quickly as if it were a fluent circle. The water was still here, so it would be easy for him to maneuver without being carried away by ocean currents. The golden fish wondered if that because they were priceless, would they really be worth something? If something cannot be bought, did that mean it would be worth nothing? The magikarp blinked the idea out of his mind as it began to confuse him, and swam on.

The Milotic chuckled lightly at Proteus's response from where she swam alongside Revira, having dropped back a few paces.
"I'm not sure what much good they would be for helping others, I must say. Though there are hundreds of legends about these treasures, very few speak of any power that they hold," replied Serenne, glancing up at where the water met the roof of the area, "Though I suppose that's just another mystery we'll have to solve!" she grinned.

"There's always inteelectual value!", the fossil Pokémon chimed in.
"No matter, how poweful this treasure may or may not be, I am sure, that it can bring to light many things about the culture and civilisation, that built this tower. And why they built it of course."
Obviously that was the most important thing about this treasure right after possibly being a cure for the corruption and whatnot.
The Omanyte shuddered in delight at the thought of all the research this treasure would help with, all the questions, that might arise and all the hours one would be able to spend cogitating over the unknown object's delicate mysteries.
They absolutely had to find it!
