Team Tsunami and the x3 Mission Combo!

After waking up in the early morning, the newly formed Team Tsunami duo went right to the mission boards after eating a hearty breakfast. Without even a glance at the rewards listed, Tally and her new teammate Kira picked three missions to take on. With the sun barely risen, the two Pokemon headed out to Pecha Forest in to complete their trio of missions...


As the sky was illuminated by the low morning sun, a Buizel began walking into the Pecha Forest, with three peices of parchment neatly folded and placed in a pocket of her treasure bag. These papers were three missions that Tally the Buizel and Kira the Riolu had decided to do, now that they were both part of Team Tsunami together.

Tally glanced back behind her, waiting for her partner to show up. They weren't too far from each other, so even if the Buizel went ahead they probably wouldn't get separated. Still, Tally didn't want to leave Kira behind. On any other day and with any other partner she would of, but she wanted to make sure sne was acting like a good and proper rescue team would. A team like that would work and coordinate with each other and wouldn't rush. They'd take their time and mke sure their job was done right.

Kira had been keeping pace with he new team leader and partner, Tallulah. The orange water weasel pokemon had picked some missions off of the Bulletin Board, and now they were setting out to fulfill those requests. The blue jackal looked up at the sky, painted a mix of a bright pink and a low purple with blue filling where those colors did not. Of the missions, she knew that they were going to go after someone who had apparently stolen an egg, and finding some items for some pokemon that were unable to go out themselves and grab the items. The riolu looked to Tallulah with a smile, "So, ready to get going? It's probably going to be tough!"

Oh it'll be tough alright...I'll make sure of that... a dark fox like pokemon thought maliciously. It was Mirage, she had noticed the two leaving town as she had made off with some food stand's apple. She huffed, this time, she would see just who's weakness is who's. Not type wise, though, but mentally. She would start with the buizel, she would attempt to make the buizel mistrust the Riolu, and just when that trust is needed most....No...that would not do. It would not be fun...it seemed a bit cliche at the second thought of it. Mirage huffed again, this time in frustration. How could she make these pokemon pay? She did not want to get her own paws dirty in the process...

Tally nodded. "Yeah, I'm ready. We'll be fine, I'm sure," she replied. "What's the worst that could happen? A lot of our mission is just collecting items. If need be, we can just use the items we find against the outlaw." The orange weasel began walking ahead, gesturing her Riolu partner along. "C'mon, we'll be fine."

As Tallulah headed deeper into Forest, she saw the rays of sunlight shine through the leaves and branches of the berry-dotted trees above. The moring was a bit cool, and every once in a while a breeze would cut between the tree trunks. There was dew on the leaves and grass around the water type, and there were quiet sounds of wild Pokemon just waking up all around her. It was very peaceful, and perfect for collecting items. Most of the jobs they picked required to do just that, with only one requiring combat. Tally was sure there'd be more battling than what one mission entitled. Even in the morning, some wild Pokemon would want to pick a fight.

Kira already knew that it was mostly easy, she had been talking about the outlaw. After all, several teams had attempted to fight the evil pokemon that took an egg. All failed. Was the outlaw that strong? Were the teams weak? Did they just give up on the mission? The riolu was unsure about WHY the mission had a slightly infamous reputation. She followed after the buizel, not taking in as much of the florid scenery as her, but still loving the soft touch on her paw pads on her feet. She made a mental note to take a nap here sometime soon, it seemed like the perfect place.

Mirage followed behind the team, still keeping a distance, yet still keeping them in view. The Zorua was still debating on how to act with these two. She remembered her situation with a strange Scraggy, she had toyed with him using her ability. She had even convinced him she was a baby areodactyl! Maybe she could do the same here...she would use her powers to appear differently, they would not know it was her, and she would pretend to be their friends for a bit. She would get to know them and find out what they're like. That would surely help with planning..

As Tally continued to walk through the forest, she began scanning thr forest for thr items she and Kira needed, while thinking about this outlaw mission. A lot of teams had failed it, and the Buizel wondered how long the egg had been taken. Also, why had the egg been taken? Surely a bird Pokemon like Tranquil would have its own eggs. How long had this poor Beautifly's egg been with this outlaw? What if it had hatched already, leaving a juicy Wurmple perfect for a quick snack. Maybe that's why the egg was stolen. What if the Tranquil wanted to hatch its own food? Tally shuddered at the thought.

Nothing had happened yet, other than some thinking. There were no Blast Seeds or Pecha Berries on the ground, and there were no Tranquil, or anything attacking for that matter. It was too peaceful for the Water Type, even though she felt like she was being watched. She tried to ignore the feeling. It was probably just some tiny Bug Pokemon peering at her through the bushes or perhaps even Kira, though Tally didn't bother looking behind her to check.

Tally was wondering the same thing. Would they just have to pick the Pecha berries? The Buizel decided that wasn't a good idea. If she remembered correctly, the pink berries they needed would be used in muffins, and if the picked berries weren't ripe the baked goods probably not come out right. Doing the same with blast seeds probably wouldn't be a good idea either. If they picked a seed that wasn't ready yet, who knew what could happen. For all the Buizel knew, picking an unripe seed could make it explode in her face.

"Well, uh... We'll probably just have to find the items we need off thr ground," thr Buizel replied, shrugging. "Hopefully it won't take long." At that moment. the Water Type around. If she had large ears, they would be perked up. There were rustling in the bushes nearby, and it seemed a Pokemon was about to come out!

[roll="Item Rarity"==]1[/roll]

Tally backed away also, and almost tripped on the same tree root but kept her balance, only stumbling. She peered at Kira, who had fallen, but the Buizel didn't laugh at her partner. Shehad almost fallen herself, and although she didn't find it too funny Tally thought of it to be quite rude to laugh.

As a Tranquil came out, the Buizel instantly shifted into a battle stance. She remembed how the egg theif was a Tranquil, and wasn't going to take any chances. Still, it seemed sad and possibly even sad, based on the tone and neaning of the story she had just told, and it all checked out. If it was true, then this outlaw was worse than the Water-type had first thought, but no matter how convincing this Tranquil was, there was still a bit of doubt in Tally's orange head, though she was going to give it the benefit of the doubt for now. In case this Pokemon was telling the truth, the Buizel didn't want to sound mean or rude.

Instead, Tally nodded sympathetically like Kira did, though she only loosened her battle-readied position. "Well, we're here to help stop this evil Tranquil. Any help we can get is appriciated."

"Oh, please let me help, I can help you out! I'll give you my last two sticks, remnants of my nest, but it'll do right?" The "Tranquil" looked at them hopefully. Kira kept silent on this, leaving it to Tallulah, since she viewed Tallulah as more of the team leader. Who wouldn't? Kira wasn't the sort to be a leader type, sure she hated doing what she was told, but she also didn't like giving the orders to friends. The riolu looked to the buizel, and the tranquil looked between the two, hoping for a yes.
(Sorry for crap post ;A;)

Tally stood in silence for a moment, considering her options. It seemed like Kira was counting on her to make this decision, and what kind of explorer would the Buizel be if she was ao suspisious? Tally sighed an held out a paw, accepting the simple pair of sticks. They probably weren't going to do much now, but perhaps in the future the Buizel could sharpen them and use them as daggars or something, instead of long-ranged weapons that they normally were. Although they're very brittle... she thought as she figured out what to do with the two sticks. Maybe I can just toss 'em later....

"Yeah, you're good," Tally said, realizing she was in deep thought for at least half a minute. "What'd ya' know about this other Outlaw Tranquil? If you really wanna help, any information you've got could be a good place to start."

"Not much, just that's he mean...and a flying type."
Mirage gave a simple reply, she herself did not know much about tranquils, so giving information she was unsure of was not a very smart move. The zorua looked at the buizel, "So, I assume you're the leader then? Which way shall we go?" The tricky fox pokemon was a tad bored, it was tense for her when the buizel was deciding. Now that she was in and trusted, it was boring. The pokemon began to wonder what would happen if she were to reveal herself? Would the team never trust a wild pokemon again?

"I think the only option we have is to keep walking until we find some kind of sign of the outlaw. Like feathers, a mess, hurt pokemon, and stuff like that seeing as we have no real information to go off of."
The riolu pointed ahead as she gave her opinion. She then crossed her arms, nonchalantly and not sternly, and leaned on a single leg more than the other, waiting for the opinion of her teammate. Kira felt more comfortable with Tallulah around, someone she knew was a friend and knew she could trust. After all, she HAD helped her retrieve her stolen artifact from the outlaw that was Mirage.

Tally sighed at the Tranquil's simple response. Was this seriously all the information she could get? All that was stated was the obvious stuff she already knew.

"Well, uh..." Tally said, thinking. She was the leader, apparently. What would she say? The Buizel looked around for any clues, squinting in the morning sun. Kira was right. There were no signs of the outlaw currently. The best idea was already suggested by her teammate.

"...I guess we just go up ahead," Tally said finally. "C'mon." The orange weasel began walking up ahead, passing through the trees that were dotted with sweet pink berries. She constantly looked back and forth, looking for any clues. She gripped her two gifted sticks tightly, ready to throw them at any moment.

"Y

Mirage felt success surge through her, they trusted her! She loved it like this. She smirked while the two weren't looking by accident and quickly wiped it off and replaced it with a look of sorrow that a tranquil would have if her eggs had been destroyed like her story had told. The zorua's paws appeared to be talons, her ears were replaced with a feathered head, and her muzzle replaced by a sharp beak. She wished that her illusions actually transformed her though, she would have been able to fly and soar in the skies and even dive below the ocean, but no, she was granted the gift of just appearance.

The riolu simply walked along, feeling a bit left out of the group due to her lack of conversing. She decided to speak, "So uh...Tally, what did you used to do before we started the team? You already know that I ran a Auction house.." She looked up at the sky as she spoke with her paws behind her head. She accidentally sent out a pulse of aura, not seeing any enemies or items. She noted that she needed to learn to control that...it would become of use if she were to be able to call upon her aura detecting abilities any time she desired.

As she continued along, Tally was asked a question that took her by surprise.

"So uh...Tally, what did you used to do before we started the team? You already know that I ran a Auction house.."

The Buizel had to think about this for a moment. It had been ages since she'd escaped from her house, and she hadn't really given it much thought until now.

"Well," she began, considering whether or not to tell her tale to her friend with a stranger present. She decided to anyway, but lowered her voice just in case. "I was born and raised near the Small Pond. I had two parents and a couple brothers. My brothers were idiots, and my parents were overprotective, so I just escaped with hopes to become 'Tally of the Seas,' or at least I wanted to. I wanted fame, fortune, and adventure and all that good stuff, though spending the first few days before joining the guild were pretty hard. Not like that's a bad thing. Challenge is what I strive for!"

"D-don't get me wrong!" the Buizel said hastily, hoping Kira wouldn't get the wrong idea about why she wanted to join the guild. "I'm not in it for the cash. I wanna be known for taking on tough missions and finding rare treasure, both examples of doing things others can't. Andif others can't take on thogh missions, I'll be helping a lot!"

"...We'll I mean," she added just in case.
