Zorre paced at the bottom of the frozen mountain, looking up at the towering heights. Last time he had been in this place, it had ended at the bottom of the mountain, covered in snow for a while before he managed to dig himself out. It wasn't an experience he wanted to repeat any time soon, yet he found himself drawn back to the mountain, like something, or someone, was calling him.

He looked up at the mountain again before resigning himself to scaling the thing once more. He walked over to the start of a trail and headed up the mountain, cursing as he slipped on some stray ice. If only his clan could see him now! They'd laugh it up, a scyther scaling a frozen mountain! Sounded like some joke straight out of the emboar's mouth...

Kyraen hopped excitedly from rock to rock, his fur sparking with electricity. He was so excited! This frozen mountain was full of exciting things, by the sounds of it, and he would be the one to discover them, like a real explorer! He just couldn't wait! The young jolteon might be a greenhorn -literally- but that wouldn't stop him from scaling the mountain like a pro! Just watch him!

Kyraen hoped he met another pokemon on the trail, so he could share the exciting experience with someone else! It was unfortunate that the joltik he had met before had up and disappeared on him, but what could one do? Things like that happened in life; friends come and go like leaves on the wind, sometimes. It was alright with Kyraen; he could meet some new friends, and maybe they would like to start an exploration team with him!

Yooka was on top of a tree at the base of the mountain, staring up at a rather cloud blocked peak. Shame the peak couldn't be seen, but that's not why she was there. She was in search of the ruins for some clue on what's causing so many pokemon to go insane. no, that's a little much. --to have such odd behavior. Not like her situation, even though being purple instead of green is indeed slightly odd for a Kecleon. She has a reason for the altered coloring but what's causing the aggressive behavior or weird mystery markings she seen and why did she even attempt this place first anyway? It was rather taxing just getting to where she was. This was the furthest location of a ruins location she heard of with just as weird rumors about what occurs around it, but... Meh. She left the Guild fully packed and now she's left with only seven items, not including her rather thin defense scarf, wrapping her shoulders like a cape and the sun and lunar ribbons, boxer wrapped over her hands. She's been through worse situations than underprepared, but being that AND alone? Yooka's not climbing till she takes a second to look around the bottom of the mountain for somethings, if there is anything, for the trip up.

Upon getting down the tree, she immediately headed somewhat up. Her supposed destination was halfway up the mountain but she had no idea where to even begin outside of just, that. Matter aswell take that time down here to get prepared for the mess up there. If down here isn't even nearly as dangerous. "Ha! Who am I kidding. This place, when it comes to the Guild's missions, is probably considerably easier than what I'm used to, but still..." The trail was relatively straightforward, but should she stick to it? It would make traversing alot easier, but it's just as likely that something could just jump out. She went ahead and decided to follow it.

Ever since looking up to the peak, she questioned if she should of brought something thicker than this dinky scarf or a bigger bag, or even someone to-- who'd even help her? the only other group of pokemon she knows cant keep up with her style. Meh, learning the hard way is always a fun way. So be it, this'll be fun!

Zorre climbed the mountain steadily, his black carapace stark against the white snow that covered the mountainside. Zorre stomped through the snow roughly, making sure he didn't fall from the side of the mountain as he dug in his feet into the snow. He lifted his head against the wind, and squinted around, wondering if there were any pokemon about. He noticed a lime green shape ahead of him, and wondered if it were another scyther...

But as he got closer, it became evident that it was a fox-like pokemon, with spiky green fur. A jolteon; but not just any jolteon, but a shiny one at that! Zorre wondered if the pokemon was proud of its shiny coloration; arrogance was not a trait that Zorre appreciated in others. The manic scyther neared the jolteon, and an evil smile crawled across the bug's face. "Hello there, little fox... Do you want to be my friend?" he asked creepily.

Kyraen leaped from snowy rock to snowy rock, having the time of his life as the snow fell down around him in big poofs. He skidded to a halt, lifting his head to the sky and opening his mouth so the snow could fall on his tongue. He laughed happily as the snow melted on his tongue. The young jolteon was so full of life and energy, it was hard to imagine anything could ruin his mood.

Then a voice came from behind him. It was creepy, and there was an edge to the voice that made Kyraen's spine shudder. He turned around to see a black figure standing a few feet below him, staring up at him with gleaming red eyes. "Uh, hi?" he said nervously, looking the scyther up and down. "Uh... I'm Kyraen... who are you?"

Nothing. There wasn't anything near the base of the mountain where she was. Yooka decided searching the entire base would just be a waste of time and forced herself to get closer to the top. If it wasn't cold enough in the icy lands naturally going up the mountain was just making it colder. It was evident something was around as there were footprints in the softer plots of snow. "Hello, you." It was kindof a good thing she saw this because she almost forgot this place was new to her, meaning, newer dangers. The prints lead farther up the mountain and up was probably the only thing she could do for now.

She followed them for awhile only to find them getting more spaced apart. It started running, but was it because it saw her? Most likely no, and to make tracking worse, the clouds from before were snowing farther up and the prints were dissipating the further up she went. It didn't take long for Yooka to get bored again when she finaly lost the track but it's nice to know something else is here.

Getting back to her original idea now that she's in a different area; Looking for random things that could help her out. There was only one problem: this area and possible future areas from here on was covered with freshening snow... Yooka wasn't shivering or even really all that cold but she started questioning why this was a good idea to do alone again. She should've found a fire-type partner first or something. Reptiles should not be in cold areas to begin with. Not without good reason. Yooka's reason wasn't really a good one, 'She wanted to because of rumors.' Totally fine reason. At least she had gotten use to the cold and snow from the Winters at Grassveil. This place was just maybe a bit colder and more icy than what she's truely used to.

The strange, creepy smile stayed on the scyther's face. If anything, it grew wider at the jolteon's obvious nervousness. "There, there... no need to be afraid, my dear. I am...
Zorre, at your service." the scyther introduced himself with a little bow. "Surely... you want to be my, heh... friend?" he emphasized the last word, with his smile growing.

Zorre was ready to pounce at a moment's notice, lest the jolteon try to get away. He wasn't going to let his new toy get away so easily, that was for sure. He'd rather kill the jolteon than let it get away at this point. At least when pokemon were dead, they didn't flee from him. Unbeknownst to him, the jolteon would likely be faster than anything he could compare.

Kyraen looked back at the scyther hesitantly. The creepy smile on the scyther's face didn't seem to bode well for the young jolteon. He backed up a few steps, unsure of himself. "Uhhhh.... h-hi... Zorre... Um. Well, like I said, my name is Kyraen... I... uh... suppose I can be your friend? I guess? J-just don't- well... please don't hurt me..." he muttered, fear in his voice.

The scyther smiled wider at the obvious fear in his voice, and stepped forward. "Don't worry, friend... I won't let anyone hurt you... ever again... We'll be friends... friends forever..." the scyther said creepily. He stepped forward again, growing closer to the jolteon. His blades glinted against the snow as he turned them, just so. Then he lashed out, trying to slice the jolteon open.

Kyraen skidded backward, throwing up clouds of snow. "H-help!" he cried out, backing away from the scyther as it advanced on him. "Somebody, anybody, please, HELP!"

This place was starting to get annoying. First, the travel had slowed due to the snow, second, the ice was practically unclimbable, and third, she found herself going higher up the mountain than she wanted. At least the good news was nothing had happened during all this time, till now. She saw them before hearing them. It was funny really, she happened to find footprints again but the ones she found were from a different pokemon and this one thought it funny to hop from ice patch to ice patch, instead of the snow. The marks she saw weren't feet but more of blades. What species of pokemon? She had a couple on mind but when she saw the source she was a bit surprised. At first she thought they were just two pokemon playing around. She never saw the color combinations of both of them. A Green Jolteon and a Black Scyther and here's her thinking a Black Marowak was scary.

She hid moments after seeing them and watched for a bit to see if there were any clue of these pokemon being commonplace here. It became very evident that the Jolteon was not from around here as they both started speaking about being friends in a really wierd way. The Jolteon noticed something odd about the Scyther and so did Yooka. Infact, Yooka's excited mood near instantly shifted to one of disgust and regret. The moment the Black Scyther attempted an attack on the Green Jolteon and the said Jolteon yelled out for someone was the moment Yooka decided to get closer. She was in no hurry to actually help and just walked down, every now and then she slid on some ice to quicken the pace, rather lazily. Meanwhile, she sent her shadow ahead of her to just block off the Scyther from the Jolteon. She needed to at least stop the Scyther from doing whatever it planned to do to the Jolteon. She remained silent during the whole thing and didn't even bother hiding herself as she wasn't planning on poking the Scyther into submission from a distance. How much do you wanna bet I'm going to get scolded by the end of this. Either they were just playing or the Jolteon was just 'in a moment' but could handle itself just fine. *tsk* Whatever. It said 'help'. So fine... I'll help.

Zorre paused as a shadow jumped in front of him, stopping him from reaching the green jolteon. He snarled at the shadow and swiped at it with his scythes, refusing to back down. There was nothing there but darkness, so his scythes went right through, as if he had cut the air.

"Clever... But come out, come out, wherever you are! I just want to be friends..." he said in a crazed tone of voice. "Who hides in the shadows like a coward?" he asked.

Kyraen cried out in fear as one of his back feet hit a rock wall. He was trapped against the wall, with this crazed scyther approaching menacingly! Then, out of the blue, a shadow slunk across the ground and bore up against the scyther, placing itself between the scyther and the panicking jolteon.

Kyraen breathed a sigh of relief, glad that someone was standing against the creepy scyther. Said scyther was now demanding that whoever it was to show themselves, and privately, Kyraen hoped someone would appear to save him.

Come out, come out? "Come out? I'm up here, not even hiding! Pfff, coward, right..." Staying up on the top of the wall Yooka looked down, somewhat amused at it's accusation. It was obvious the scyther was losing it's mind with the way it's talking. The reasoning was unknown. Question is, is if the Jolteon will take this time of distraction to move. Either way, a conversation without threats was ok, for now. Perhaps she could keep the odd Scyther busy with questions. "Couple question to you, Mr. Scyther. How long have you been on this mountain? Don't you think the cold to be a bit much? I mean, it sortof is for me. What brings you here other than friends?" Yooka smirked while looking at the Jolteon. "A bit hard on the Jolteon don't you think? Why not join me on a rather weird treasure hunt? Your both invited if you think you can find it."

She needed to know a few things, but getting them from someone like this may be a bit much. Keeping the questions simple and rather random, aslong as it stays occupied, may give a few answers she's looking for. Neither of these were what she really wanted though, but she had to start somewhere. If the scyther was truely looking for a friend... it may find it a bit difficult with how it's behaving. Calming it's thoughts with a random conversation while just out of reach was a solution, Maybe. Things usually are never that easy.

Zorre looked up to see the purple-colored kecleon standing on a ledge above the jolteon. The kecleon was looking down at him, seemingly amused by something or another. The purple pokemon began asking him questions, and Zorre's eyes narrowed. He wanted the pokemon to come down, within reach of his sharp scythes. Then he could paint the world with the kecleon's blood, and they would be artists.

"I don't feel the cold, darling -not while you're around, anyway," he smiled up at the kecleon, unaware of his sharp teeth glinting in the light. Then his attention returned to the jolteon, now that the kecleon mentioned it once more. The jolteon was edging away from him, a nervous grin on his face.

"Now, now, we can all be friends, can't we?" Zorre crooned, looking back up at the kecleon. "A treasure hunt sounds delightful, darling!"

While the shadow's voice distracted the scyther, Kyraen took the opportunity to slide away from the wall he was backed up against. The voice was coming from above, and when Kyraen moved away from the wall, he could see a purple-colored kecleon speaking.

"Uh... are you sure you want us along on the treasure hunt?" Kyraen asked, tilting his head toward the scyther pointedly. It was dangerous to travel with such an individual, he was sure.

Because there was something not quite right about the scyther, Kyraen was sure. With the creepy way he insisted everyone be... friends, to the maniacal grin he was sporting, there was just something wrong about the black scyther.

(ooc: yea, I may pin all of the pokemon in my roll on the Scyther... xD ALSO, If you wany go ahead an use my pokemon rolls.)

[energy= 9 - (29?) = 0]

"Great!" Neither disagreed but the Scyther continued to act wierd. If it was trying to charm her or something it wasn't working. Perhaps she should keep an eye on the Scyther. Yooka also took into account the Jolteon's nervousness towards the Scyther even though it didn't sound like he was scared of it. Maybe he was. "Meh, probably not, but it's quite nice to have a mindset like that when I know there are better targets then you." bit rude, but it's an attempt to discourage the Scyther from the Jolteon. Better Her than anyone else when it came to creeps.

She knew she can handle herself against equally skilled opponents, but her fear was if the one going after her could out-power her despite her skills. "Well, come on. There's a way up just over there. but I half expected you, Mr. Scyther, to have jumped up here by using your wings for extra height. Not having cold feet now..? heheh." The chuckle was a bit instinctive as she pointed towards a few jumpable ledges. "The goal isn't actually that far. It's only halway up the mountain."

Zorre's eyes alit with an unholy glee as the kecleon responded to him. Perhaps he could put off the painting until they found this elusive treasure? Treasure was always beautiful, in its own way, anyway.

He buzzed his wings, leaping up onto the ledge above easily, landing beside the kecleon. "Lead the way, darling. A treasure could only be as beautiful as you," he said creepily.

Then he looked below at the jolteon. "Do hurry up, darling, we're waiting on you," he said, grinning evilly.

Kyraen looked between the kecleon and the dark scyther worriedly. Well, he couldn't in good conscious let the kecleon wander away with the scyther on his own, and, well... a treasure sounded interesting, at the very least.

"I guess... you can count me in too," he said reluctantly. He watched as the scyther easily leapt up onto the ledge with the help of his buzzing wings. He looked up at the ledge and eyed it appraisingly.

He doubted he could just leap to the top, even if he was the fastest of the eevee kin, that didn't mean he had super jumping abilities. He'd have to find another way up. He looked around, and noticed a small trail to the right.

He walked over to the rocky, slick trail, and climbed up carefully, watching his feet to make sure he didn't slip.

Other than the uneasy feeling of staying within scything distance of the... Scyther. She gave it a quick bow. "While we wait, how much of this mountain do you know? I'm looking for a ruins or some sort of Cave entrance with rather wierd vibes. I haven't exactly been there yet so I can't exactly tell what it would look like. All I know is it's half-way up the mountain and that there's something inside worth mentioning and I'd like to know. If it's not up to what you expect-"

She paused for a second. Should she really say this? To someone of this caliber?

"-I'll... owe you one... geared to whatever it is you fancy, I suppose." Can't back out of that now... However, she did keep it somewhat vague. Hopefully his desires were not what she was thinking. Two things came to mind. Considering the tone and subject he keeps up, She's not compatible or even willing if she was, and considering his current actions to the Jolteon. She'll have to find someone else for it to cut, or worse, kill... other than this Jolteon.

Zorre cocked his head to the side as the kecleon made small talk with him, asking after his experience with the mountain. She also mentioned the place where the treasure was supposedly in -a strange cave halfway up the mountain. "I can't say that I know the mountain well," Zorre admitted. "I've only been here once before, and I didn't get very far up the mountain before an avalanche shoved me down again." He neglected to mention that he had caused said avalanche. It wasn't an experience he wanted to repeat. That much snow had been a true pain to get out of, and he had been frozen to the bone by the time he had gotten out.

Kyraen struggled up the slope before managing to get up onto the ledge where the other two pokemon were waiting for him. He caught the tail end of their conversation, where the scyther was mentioning an avalanche. He really hoped there wouldn't be an avalanche. He was fast, but not that fast.

"I hope there's no avalanche this time," Kyraen said. "I'd rather not be buried in snow." It sounded very unpleasant, to say the least.

Brilliant, neither knows of her destination. That could prove annoying, but at least she has someone that can take a hit. A rather massive, and powerful considering what they are, hit. She's a bit surprised about that information but should she be glad about that? The Scyther is kindof creepy and rather aggressive.

"How are you still alive~~!" her voice was shallow and was caught under the Jolteon's. Yooka coughed on her words ending up looking at the Jolteon nearly laughing. [color=#996699]"--hh, heh. If there happens to be one, I'll just rescue you both. That is, if I don't get Knocked up by it. Literally recovering is one of my specialities. I'll get you out of most situations, but I can't heal you if you get injured. ...I didn't exactly plan on having a par--."

She paused suddenly and cocked her own head. Did they even understand what she was saying and implying? Mostly likely no, but matter aswell show it. She pulled out her Guild badge from inside her bag. Still the basic Grey. It's just reminding her that she shouldn't even be attempting this place. "I don't usually remember to introduce myself, but since I'll be here for awhile and I reminded myself. I'm Yooka of the Grassveil Guild. I'm rather fine working with anyone that is willing to temporarily join me on whatever it is I'd be doing and agreeing to not injure anyone in the party in any mannor, unless they ask for it specifically." Yooka then tensed up as she got a chill down her back and meeped to herself. "...I'm not used to this... now, If we agree to that, I let non-guildmembers do whatever they want aslong as it doesn't ruin the agreement. I'm not much of a leader but I will definitely help those that help me and not exactly the other way around." That sounded bad. Yooka cocked her head once again and spaced out for a second. "...wait... Did that make sense...?"

But, with that said, if the Scyther ups and breaks it, she has an excuse to name the Scyther a creep or whatever. If it declines or similar, then she'll just walk away shrugging. If it follows even after declining she'll pin whatever stops her on it. Same goes to the Jolteon.

Zorre preened at the horror in the kecleon's -Yooka's- tone. "It wasn't hard to get out of; I dug myself out in no time," he bragged. He glanced down at the jolteon, who had finally managed to clamber up to the cliff edge.

He looked askance at the kecleon as she introduced herself, then went on to ramble about leadership and a bunch of nonsense the scyther didn't really care about. He liked to cause chaos, but he was interested in getting to that cave, and he knew he probably couldn't do it alone.

He'd have to team up with this sorry bunch until they got to the cave, at the very least. Once he'd gotten the treasure promised to him, he could gut the jolteon and maybe the kecleon too, though the kecleon seemed to be a stronger opponent. He'd paint the white world a pretty blood red, just the way he liked it. He giggled insanely at the thought, before stopping himself, looking at the wide-eyed jolteon. "Heh.... I'll join you to the treasure they say is up there," he said.

Kyraen scrambled up the smooth stone, his claws digging into the hard ground painfully. He listened as the two pokemon above him had their conversation; the kecleon introducing herself as 'Yooka'. What a strange name, Kyraen thought to himself. But then again, it was no weirder than 'Kyraen' he supposed.

He struggled to the top of the cliff and paused, panting. "I'm... Kyraen," he said between breaths. "Nice... to meet... you," he held out a paw towards the kecleon. It was then that the strange black scyther started giggling insanely, and Kyraen jolted backward, eyes wide. The scyther stopped as it looked at him, and the crazed grin returned to his face as he stated that he would join them to find the 'treasure' or whatever was up the mountain.

Kyraen wasn't sure he wanted to join this crazy scyther anywhere, but he hoped the kecleon could protect him from the insanity that was the black scyther's mode of operation.
