That Figment Place

Mission Objective:

[17 - 10 = 7]

Tenatus had been in dungeons before but this was his first guild mission and that made it super enormous. Especially having a partner, now he had never really had a partner either, let alone one from another team, or one that was purple. It honestly didn't make much of a difference in tactics though, this was Shadowhue, he knew it well. Not anything beyond it though, never really sought further in. But walking through the dark forest he felt shivers down his spine, It's my natural reaction when going through this place, it's just plain creepy, he thought while looking around in slight nervousness.

"So, Yooka," he said while walking under the darkened light,"from what you're saying we just gotta go through this dungeon to get to Monochrome Ruins?" He hadn't really delved into the map that the Guildmaster had given him and mostly had gone off the directions from both Kirlia and Yooka. Mostly due to him trying to go on a mission as fast as possible and not worry about anything else. If anything he purposefully disregarded the map in a form of trying to explore more on his own. Which will probably lead to way more trouble than it's worth in the long run. In any case he was on an adventure and had to go through this small task first.

This wasn't the first time Yooka was hired for a Guild mission. The fact that the Shinx, Tenatus, was new to the Guild and this was his first mission, Yooka didn't want any of the reward when it was finished, she'll be fine with just the EP they'll both receive by the end of it, if it succeeds. This also isn't her first escort mission, she doesn't like escort missions as she finds them to be harder because the clients tend to not be experienced or usually annoying or scared. However, this one seems to know what it's doing. More so than Yooka herself thought. She knew psychic types were known for doing weird things with their minds but being with one smarter than you AND could potentially outpower you... She hoped the Kirlia was friendly or content at the least.

Tenatus asked Yooka to join him after She helped him with something at the Guild by pure chance. She didn't mind, it gave her something to do. Most other activities tended to be slow or tedius. Aslong as the Shinx and Kirlia could keep up with her she'll be content with doing this Mission. It's to be expected that she'd have to do most of everything for the new Guildmembers to get used to stuff but she can't stand it when they hinder her directly, somewhat. She'll be fine towards them if they can hold their own but she'll be annoyed if they rely on her for alot. Also, speaking of 'slowing down'. The Shinx was a bit hasty on getting started. He almost left the Guild unprepared. She expected this and came overprepared but mostly because she always restocks when she returns to her room at the Guild.

Upon reaching the Entrance, the Kirlia was waiting for them. Yooka didn't do anything with the Kirlia as this was the Shinx's mission. He was the leader for this trip, doesn't really matter to her as the mission request itself says all she needs to know. She spaced out on the name of the Kirlia and ralts and also what they were really doing. All she got out of it was finding a ralts at the ruins past the Falls. Actually, those ruins. She doesn't remember anything except getting there and feeling a heavy numbing sensation and the entrance itself but... not what lies inside the ruins. why was that? Something had to of happened but, what?

Starting their trek inside she checked her gear one last time. A lunar ribbon wrapping her left hand and a sun rubbon wrapping her right in similar fashion to boxer wraps. She also wore a defense scarf in a similar fashion to a cape. Outside mimicing a hero for fun from someplace fictional. she was surprisingly never asked why she wore the stuff the way she does... instead they asked why she was purple and not green. She doesn't want to talk about it as getting it was rather painful to experience and no one really wants to endure what she did, willingly, probably. She'll just say she's coping with some hard times and finds letting her emotions take control of the color as, being easier than forcing herself to keep it in check. Lazy. She does act somewhat normal for the most part but she isn't scared of showing her true self to anyone that pushes her.

Some time inside, the Shinx asked if getting through this dungeon will get them to the Ruins. She stopped and turned around as she was the one was taking the lead for the moment. The Kirlia, who was behind her, stopped before the question was even asked. "Aye, it's behind a blue-illuminated waterfall. We just need to find a river and follow it. There's only one river in shadowhue, so it's not hard at all to get there. Well, the hard part is getting to the ruin's entrance... as it's completely sealed by the waterfall- er, falling water?" Yooka shrugged and turned back around to contune walking and the Kirlia followed suite but not before saying "My brother could teleport. getting by the falls wouldn't be hard for him-" Yooka coughed a laugh but stayed silent. Obviously... The Kirlia squinted at Yooka. "-but he hasn't gotten used to it yet and becomes exhausted quickly. He's never gotten so deep before I'm not sure if he even knows his way back. Once again Yooka coughed another laugh but she quickly growled to herself. Yet again, obviously... but that tells me this Kirlia knows what she's doing... Well, that simplifies things but if the Kirlia needs help getting there does that mean this Kirlia can't teleport? This time it was the Kirlia who reacted wierdly. It suddenly stopped and looked to the side but just as quickly returned her gaze forward. Her face grew annoyed but she announced, "I thought I heard something but it was nothing."

Looking back towards the Kirlia discussing her brother's habit, that was when she seemed to kind of freeze and then look to the side. "I thought I heard something but it was nothing." was all she said, as Tenatus motioned towards Yooka to continue forwards he simply replied back, "Well at least it was nothing, if we ran into another pokemon we'd probably have to fight them." Going forward into the jungle the Shinx looked around trying to find the river, it wasn't really easy mostly due to the reduced light in the forest. But in any case he had to find it, according to the Kecleon.

The trees all seemed way to shockingly alike, Tenatus had never really looked clearly at them so it was a slight surprise when he realized it. It was kind of monotonous, just looking around for a slight hint at water, and the tedium of it was getting to the Shinx. "So at what point does the, uh, river start?" he asked Yooka. His mind began to wonder about the two other dungeons he had never explored before. Why are they both having to do with monochromes? He asked himself, What ruins are there? What do they look like? He was asking so many questions that if the river did appear he would instantly overlook it.

Something seemed off to Yooka about the Kirlia as they once again continued into Shadowhue. However she did question one thing to herself. What did she hear? I didn't hear anything? Yooka didn't take that lightly and kept some senses to their surroundings. It wasn't the river as... ah~ speaking of river~!

The shinx did ask a question, and looking at that question directly, she didn't know. She never did follow it all the way to either end. However, she did know where in shadowhue to look as she had to of been to it to have even seen the falls. According to her last trip to the said falls. It was towards the northern end of shadowhue, with the falls being at the north-eastern most part of shadowhue. Wasn't that long, give take ten to fifteen minutes from where they are already. However, before she could explain her thoughts in a way, the Kirlia said the answer first, "Not far, just less than a miles hike in... that direction." The Kirlia pointed in the direction Yooka was facing when she was thinking. Yooka passed it off as coincidental. She also, however, smirked. The Kirlia knew and yet didn't just go? Scared? not skilled? A mental link with the Raltz then..? Is that even a thing..? BUT! there's one thing about this place...! She shook her head and looked confused, while the Kirlia looked annoyed again. "Yes..? I was just about to say that. heh, you sure you need me? er, well... actually... I should mention mystery dungeons are never the same... or uh, the chance of it being the same is astronomical. I count the trees and focus on grid-like patterns, but nothing's that simple."

"Oh, right. Question, Tenatus... what rank was this mission again..? We are going to be adventuring into a more dangerous area of shadowhue, but only slight... but, now that I think about it... I seriously need to talk to the one who assigns the difficulty rank of these missions as they don't seem to know the dangers of dungeo- nng" Yooka paused for a second That didn't come out right..! She cringed before turning around to face the Shinx. The Kirlia stepped to the side well before Yooka turned around. Yooka stared at the Shinx while the Kirlia glared at Yooka as she resumed, "um... Don't worry about that, It's probably just me... ... Escort missions are just genuinely harder for me... Yooka resumed walking when she looked at the Kirlia. The Kirlia stared then shrugged before continuing herself, "I only need Heal Pulse and Future sight. I'd rather avoid fighting, if necessary. Unless you really want that. In which case, I know Magical Leaf."

Kirlia's moveset:

Looking towards the direction that the Kirlia pointed. It ended up actually being in the direction of a path, which was nice, Tenatus didn't particularly want to go through several acres of trees. However while he was going down into the abyss of trees that was his thoughts Yooka said something about how she navigated through Mystery Dungeons that could actually be good advice if he actually paid attention. Coming back to reality he did hear Yooka's question. "Uh, I think it was F"

Probably not the answer she wanted, he thought as she backed up on her thoughts and apologised. Suddenly the Kirlia, without warning for that manner, burst out about what moves she knows. Not particularly anything happening that could've sparked the conversation, but was Tenatus going to be awkward, no, no he was not. "Uh, I can Tackle and Growl at things, but I can also use Signal Beam." Walking towards the river or at least where he thought the river was according to the Kirlia.

(ooc: I'll roll in my next post, if you don't. :p)

"Huh? Signal Beam?" The other two moves the shinx said passed by her mind as those were pretty common. However, Signal Beam was a pretty effective move here. Infact, it would prove useful against some here as a type-advantage. Yooka decided against seeing how strong Tenatus is and just shrugged before continuing. The Kirlia facepalmed before following. "I can bend space to my will to reverse how fast everyone can move and with every concentrated punch I deliver I get stronger.

As she spoke the area around her was being subjected to a trickroom, She knew Tenatus was a new member but when the room went up she wasn't expecting the results. She expected herself to slow down alot but that didn't go as expected. It wasn't slower at all, infact the Kirlia practically stopped moving to Yooka as her reaction speed increased... Yooka turned around to show a Glowing Orange Fist but the Kirlia saw it coming ahead of time and had an arm held out with a round light showing, which completely negated Yooka's punch. Yooka knew it as Protect and smirked, then she dropped the room's effect before continuing. "Not only that but I can reuse items and my shadow can do stuff aswell." The Shadow was behind the Kirlia but it didn't move in. Yooka also held a max elixer in her hand. The hand never left the bag as she showed it. "Power-up Punch, Shadow Sneak, recycle, and Trickroom but not in that order. I'm still attempting endure but I can't quite get it right as I haven't exactly gotten into a situation to use it. Oh, and I also have a surprise move I usually never speak about other than showing it. So, yes, I know pretty much six moves. It's actually not that hard to achieve... but then again I am a philomath."

Yooka moved to the side as she just realized she pretty much foolishly attacked the client Kirlia. Thankfully the Kirlia didn't seem disappointed, a lottle confused but overall ok. The Kirlia had blocked the Punch before it even showed itself... Yooka pondered a question upon thinking this. Future Sight or Mind Reader? The Kirlia giggled in response when Yooka retracted her shadow, "I'm going to guess both." "Really now? Was that necessary?" Yooka shrunk even more, "I was in the moment. That was indeed uncalled for... but a bit much? not to me! Heh, I was seeing if the mission was indeed F-ranked and not another C~ish one. Escort missions are never easy and for once, it may actually be that easy--" Yooka recollected herself and shrugged not facing the Kirlia or the Shinx. "...and with that out of my system. Tenatus, you are in charge, I'll just listen from here unless you need something."

ooc, speed differences... unimportant really:

Trickroom (TM) - {When in use the area around her distorts (not really visually but it can be sensed, imagine everything just suddenly inverting in color in a slowly growing sphere around Yooka) and everyone caught within reverses reaction speeds, in accordance with who the highest and lowest are while the one in the middle doesn't change much. *Reaction speed, not movement speed* Easiest way to do this is to add all levels together and then divide by the amount of pokemon. If two pokemon are the same level then it's the base speeds of the pokemon, the lower it is the faster they are.} ))
