Team Roark: Finding Murkrow

George stood by the entrance to Shadowhue, waiting for Acro. "Boy Acro is getting Slower." George was a patient type though. He'll wait.

"What are you talking about? I'm right here..." Acro was behind George all along. He was wondering why George wasn't doing anything for a whole five minutes, but had decided to let him do whatever he was doing. Acro blinked as he asked, "What's our mission?"

"We must find Murkrow. Did you not read the paper I handed you?" Now both of them felt a bit stupid. George not noticing Acro, and Acro not paying attention.

Acro huffed and said, "Let's go. Murkrow can't save himself." Acro remembered being here with Zeri and Lax just the other day. It was a fun time, he dismissed the memory, 'Have to focus on the mission.' he thought. He stopped quite a ways away from George, "I thought you were a buizel, not a slowpoke! Come on!" he laughed.

"I never started even moving Acro..." George sighed, this is gonna be a long mission. "I'm wondering how Murkrow even got knocked out."

Acro yawned, he was still slightly drowsy. He knew it would wear off though, he kept his pace with George. He focused on the path, he was thinking of possible ways the Mukrow could have fainted. He wondered if multiple pokemon had ganged up on the Murkow, or maybe the murkrow was just too weak for this dungeon. The murkrow was flying type, so he would've had a huge advantage over the bug and grass pokemon, unless it came across some of the stronger pokemon like Mightyena and Swellow. Then the murkrow would have a reason to need rescuing. He voiced his ideas to George.

George thought for a moment. "It could also be possible he didn't know any flying moves. Some Pokemon learn too many Normal types and forget the moves special to their type." George didn't think is was very likely. A reasonable explanation was most likely Acro's and multiple pokemon ganging up on the Murkrow.

"That too, it's usually the ones who are really forgetful that get stuck in places like this, I wonder if it somehow has the move amnesia!" Acro laughed at his joke. He knew a murkrow couldn't possibly learn amnesia, but decided to crack the joke anyways. He then realized the problem that would come if his idea was correct, "If multiple pokemon ganged up on him, then they're likely to have stuck around for rescue teams to fight."

"You never know, when we rescued Squirtle that could have very well been a coincidence." George stopped. "Did anyone else notice my random speech pattern changing?" George thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Well let's just find Murkrow then find out what happened."

"That's a lot of finding to do." Acro chuckled. He continued forward, falling slightly behind George as he became lost in thought. It had been only a few days since they became a rescue team and they were already taking on jobs like this. Acro was surprised that they were even able to take out an outlaw, even with Ace's assistance. He wondered what had happened to that Snivy since then. He hadn't seen him around in a while, "Ah well, none of my business." he thought

George could've swore he saw something moving in the shadows. "Get it together George," he said to himself. Again there had to have been a shadow moving. The sun was still up around Noon. George kept walking, he closed his eyes to calm himself but when he reopened them he saw a pokemon in front of them.

A mightyena stood before them with a mean look on his face, it used swagger on both the Archen and the Buizel as soon as the two realized he was there. The mightyena howled in triumph as the two were confused. He then charged at the Archen with a poison fang, he bit into the bird's wing and poisoned him.

Acro screeched in pain as he hit himself in confusion and was attacked by the mightyena. He was able to speak when the mightyena retreated a bit, "George, this is bad, Mightyenas don't travel alone!"

As if on cue another pokemon sprang from the bushes toward the buizel, this pokemon had some sort of item tied around it's neck.

George looked in time to see another Mightyena with a scarf tied around it's neck. It seemed to be a defense scarf. "Acro we're in a bit of trouble..." George jumped over the mightyena as it tried to hit him too with a poison fang. "Acro, don't you have some pecha berries from Pecha Forest?" Only thing they really found there. George used an Aqua Tail on the Mightyena to get a first hit on it.

"I don't have any!" Acro cried out. He snapped out of confusion and used double team, having his doubles surround the Mightyenas. One mightyena was female while the other was a male, the two must've been a couple. Acro used a steel wing on the female, landing a critical hit on it. The female roared at Acro, he was sent flying quite a distance back, his doubles disappearing. The male mightyena was angered by being hit with the aqua tail, so he used Swagger on George only to miss.

((Now the damage Acro deals should be equal because of the massive attack stat raise.))

George used a Sonic Boom on the Male. He avoided it but slammed himself into a rock. George used it as a distraction and tossed Acro one of his own Pecha Berries. "You owe me now!" George tried to laugh at his joke but they were in a dangerous situation.
