An Autumn Quest

First topic message reminder :

A small Vulpix was sitting by the edge of a lake, her head dipped as she drank in the cold, fresh water. The Fox Pokemon seemed relaxed, at peace besides the lake, which almost seemed to have been dyed red and orange from the perpetually Autumn island. It was clear what had drawn the young explorer here, rumors of treasure and a new Mystery Dungeon. And for once, those rumors had proven true.

It had been something of a trip to get here, a three day long walk through Serene Cave. But it was already worth the journey. Who knew what was waiting to be found here? If she was lucky, then maybe she could be one of the ones who found something. Even if she wasn’t, well, she wouldn’t have really minded. Wasn’t half the fun in these things trying to find the treasure in the first place? Assuming there was a treasure to be found, anyways.

And so Lumina sat up, her guild bag slung over her back and a light blue Heal Ribbon wrapped around her right forepaw. She stepped gingerly over a path of stepping stones, cautiously trying to not fall in the water. She knew how to swim just fine, but being in water for too long might be harmful to her, being a fire type and all.

As she neared the island, she gazed into the forest, trying to tell what might lie ahead. She shifted her Treasure Bag, taking in the scent of the crisp Autumn leaves. Whatever was waiting for her, she would be ready.


Energy: 16

He looked at the stone, it was slightly heavier than he had imagined, but nothing he couldn't handle power radiated from it, as he put it inside his bag, he considered himself lucky, he knew the evolution stone were very rare, and he had hardly begun his exploration team, and already found one of these, but he would have to wait for some time to use, since he wouldn't be able to use it now.

Lumina picked up the second Orange Gummi and put it in her bag, deciding that it might come in handy. She lifted up the final item to show the two of them, glancing between Noel and Raze. "Would either of you like this? I think it's a Trap Scarf." She explained, holding the long scarf gently in her mouth. The Vulpix didn't care too much for it, preferring her Heal Ribbon. Besides, she had already taken her fair share of the items. But maybe her partners had a use for it.

Energy: 4

Noel looked at the scarf and she though of what it did traps would no longer benefit her nor hurt her so it was a tuff call, she decided that she ran into more good then bad traps and shook her head "nah don't need it" she said as she walked on, she heard rumors of treasures but they had found nothing to show for it so Noel was slightly sad about it

Raze looked at the Trap Scarf that was in the Vulpix's mouth, he could make use of it, since he didn't have any other items that he could equip, "I could make use of it" He said, although he didn't really want to take it, since he already got something as valuable as an evolution stone, but since nobody there wanted to take it, it would be better for he to make use of it, rather than leave it there.

Lumina handed the scarf to Raze, glad she finally had that thing out of her mouth. This was one of the many times she wished she had hands like him or Noel, fabric tasted terrible. Shaking off her distaste, she looked between her two partners, deciding to make a little conversation. "I've been curious. Do you two have any ideas of what the treasure might be?" She wondered. She had a few guesses of her own, but they were really just that, guesses. The riddle didn't seem to offer any insight as to what this treasure actually was, just where one might be able to find it.

Noel shrugs she wanted the treasure to be some type of jewel she always like shiny jewels but she knew that might not be it but she did get some type of idea, "maybe it's something to summon a legendary or godly being" she says it was just a hope but she wanted to fight one to test her strength hearing rumors about them like arceus made her blood boil with excitement

Raze looked at them, he had heard about a treasure in this place, although he would like to search for it, he had another priority, he belived that his parents were still out there, even if they weren't out here, coming would still train him, even if a little bit, "Could be anything, but i'm not here for that..." He said, thinking about where they could be, if they weren't here, then he wouldn't know where to look next.

The Vulpix paused, her eyes slightly narrowed. That was right, the Pichu had mentioned that he was here looking for his parents. As tragic as it was, she had a hard time believing that Raze's parents were here... this Mystery Dungeon had just been discovered, after all. She weighed her options quickly, turning away from the two. If she told him that right now, she couldn't see how it would end well. Best case scenario, he would be sad and Lumina had needlessly ruined the mood. Worst case, the kid wouldn't believe her, get mad and storm off alone trying to find them. Missing parents were obviously a touchy subject, and she didn't know Raze well enough to tell how he would react... she decided it would be best to ignore it, at least for now.

"... I have a few theories of my own. At first I thought that the Mystery Dungeon itself might be the treasure, but now I somehow doubt that." She said, managing to hide a hurried tone. She sat down, facing the two of them once more and faking a half-smile. "It wouldn't make sense with the Xatu's riddle. 'Untouched by any hand, a sacred treasure enshrined.' A Mystery Dungeon isn't untouched by any hand because of all the feral Pokémon living here." She mused, silently chiding herself for bringing up the topic. Trying to brush it off, she looked up and nodded at her partners. "Anyways... shall we keep going?"

Noel thought about the riddle for a little bit she remembered that there was some Pokemon blocking the rest of the island off and unless they got paid they wouldn't move, she thought about it no way it was here any feral Pokemon could of stumbled on it so 'untouched by hand' would be the obvious counter argument but the Lucario could not think of a reason so with a sigh. "Ya let's get going"

Raze nodded, "Yeah, let's" He said, the thought of encountering his parents still on his mind, he would fight until he would find them, wherever they may be, filled by determination, he walked forward, at a rather slow pace to give time for the others to catch up, "I'll find them, wherever they may be..." He murmered to himself, barely audible for the other two to hear.

Lumina waited for Noel to take the lead once more. She took out a green gummi from her bag and ate it quickly, not wanting to keep the others waiting. She didn't feel any differently, though. Weren't these things supposed to make you smarter, or something like that? ... then again, the thought that eating something would make you more intelligent, Lumina found a little silly. Ignoring this for now, she follow after the two of them. She heard Raze mumble something, though she couldn't catch what it was and decided not to press it.

Energy: 5 (+1 from Grass Gummi)

Noel hears raze mumble something and hears lumina eat something but decided that was not a really good topic to go on about so she just walked ahead looking for anything that stood out, "you know what would make this place great, no feral Pokemon" Noel said with a smirk and walked on

"Yeah, I guess it would make things easier" He replied to Noel, walking by her side, he looked around, they had come a pretty far distance into the dungeon, and still no sign of his parents, if only he had a small hint to where they may be, but through out all the dungeons he had been to, no sign of them were encountered, he sighed, the failure of his search started to get to him, he continued walking with his head down.

"You just keep wishing, Noel." Lumina muttered, her treasure bag beginning to fell heavy. Raze was walking with his head down, the Vulpix noticed, maybe he was starting to get tired. She wasn't exactly as her best either, with all the battles they'd been getting into so far. "We've come a long way. Maybe we should take a break, find a place to make camp." She suggested. It wouldn't have been the first time she'd done something like this, the thought of resting, or even sleeping in a Mystery Dungeon wasn't an unusual one to her.

"Would be great though all the colours" she said with a smile as she walks along the path, she held her arms up and smiled not feeling the lost energy she had been through, she did look at her companions though and noticed a few signs that they were wearing down Noel heard what lumina said and nodded "ya I guess we should" she agreed as she looks around for any type of spot that could be used for a camp, her stomach growled slightly so she decided to take out one of her berries and eat it before she kept looking.

(Come on awesome roll)
