Odd had already ignored a Meowstic once... But the cat came back the very next day, The cat came back, we thought he was a goner But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away.
Odd, however, never noticed the feline chasing after the fried rodent on the run. He was too busy looking for something else. What, he didn't know exactly, but he knew he'd know it when he saw it.

"Okay, this is getting ridiculous... Donne..." Crystal finally finished with the wringing out of her hair, getting as much water out of it as possible. "Hm? Ah! Donne! Get over here!" She finally spotted her Bronzor, who was playing with Wooper it seemed.
"Bro? Zor....."
"No, you can't go off like that, please. What if something happened while we were here and one of us got hurt and couldn't find the other? The wander lust is fine, but you can't just do that without making some indication to me, okay?"
"Bronzor..."
"Okay. I'm sorry for taking you from your new friend, though." She patted Donne on the top of his body before the two of them moved on, Crystal waving to the now confused, and probably a bit upset Wooper.

The Yungoos that ran across his path only a moment later, however, caused him to pause for a moment as it gnashed it's incredibly sharp teeth at him menacingly. "Yun yungoos!"
"Not today." He warned it, nodding to Celesta. The Mimikyu nodded in it's strange way, jumped down and stood there. Waiting. Yungoos jumped immediately and attempted a Hyper Fang. Which, much like Mienfoo's Force Palm earlier, did absolutely nothing to her. Her reaction, however, was to return the favor, Copycatting the attack as a pair of large shadowy jaws emerged from beneath her disguise and made to sink into the fleshy rodent.
Yungoos didn't give it a chance, the attack frightening it enough that it turned tail and ran before it ever got hit. Or bit, rather.

Odd picked up Celesta to console the upset Ghost-type. "It's ok. We'll find someone who won't be afraid of you to play with. I promise." He told the Pokemon, knowing a bit how she felt. The Torkoal hiding in the shadows in the corner would certainly not be in, however, cowering in it's shell at what it had just witnessed.
"Good, You have no idea what's happened... to... That's not eerie at all." The hybrid paused for a moment before pointing to a blinking red light in the water ahead. "So... Donne, you wanna check out if that's a Pokémon or a bomb. I trust you'll be fine anyways, and I was already quite shocked earlier about something else..."
"Bro...." The Bronzor slowly floated up to the light, rotating around, almost getting ready for a Gyro Ball attack. Unfortunately, the creature behind the light apparently had other ideas, blasting Donne with a bright, sparkling light reminiscent of gemstones to get the Pokémon to back off. "Bron!" The Pokémon then jumped out of the water itself, showing itself to be a Staryu.
"Huh. That's actually a decent one. Donne, go for your favorite move!"
"Bronnnnzor!" The little bronze Pokémon would back up and slowly spin its way to Staryu, charging up Steel energy in the process. The Staryu would try to push back Donne with a Water Gun, but it proved to be fairly ineffective when Donne had enough speed built up, slamming the Staryu back when he finally landed. "Bronzor!"
"Nice! Now then, follow up with a Heavy Slam!" Donne nodded, charging forward and gaining some altitude before dropping down. However, as Donne got closer, Staryu's core would flash brightly before the starfish took on a more metallic hue, its Reflect Type causing it to change types completely. Thus, when Donne slammed into the Staryu, it seemed to barely phase it.
"What the?... What just happened? okay, i'm interested..." Crystal pulled out a Quick Ball and threw it at the Staryu, hoping that it would click and stay shut...

Turning to walk away from the scene of the Yungoos horror, Odd stopped in his tracks. Something was standing in front of him that he recognized. "You were the thing that was tending the Safari Zone on the island where I caught Celesta..." He said to it, pulling out his SNAG. Scanning it, he got a verbal response, explaining that it was called Oranguru.
"Oranguru, huh?" He asked, setting Celesta on the ground. "I'm going to catch you." He told the Pokemon, watching as Celesta waddled toward it. "Shadow Claw." Celesta nodded and a pair of shadowy, skeletal arms emerged from beneath her disguise. Without ever moving, she reached out and clawed at the primate.
Oranguru simply sat down and Calmed it's Mind, watching, somewhat bemused, as Celesta puzzled over the lack of reaction. Scanning the Pokemon again, Odd found that it was part Normal-type, making Celesta's Ghost-type moves completely useless. "Alright, fine, Thunderbolt!" Celesta nodded and her body sparked for a moment before a weak electric charge shot off like a lightning bolt though it amounted to little more than a Thunder Shock, which Oranguru brushed off with ease.
"Ora ora guru orangu." The ape said to Celesta afterward, waving what looked to be a fan of leaves at her.
Odd couldn't understand what happened when Celesta immediately attacked again with Thunderbolt. It wasn't any stronger than the last time, resulting in Oranguru shaking it's head. "Ora ora guru Orangu." It instructed once more, more pointing it's strange little fan than waving it now.
Once again, Celesta attacked with Thunderbolt unheeded. The attack seemed to be a bit stronger this time than the last but not by much. Oranguru was looking no worse for wear than it had before the first attack had been used and Odd was wondering if Celesta was even hurting it at all.
"Miii.....Kiiii...Yuuuu." Celesta growled out, her eyes flashing in irritation as Oranguru stared her down. Waving it's fan dismissively at the Ghost-type, she was struck by a wave of unseen force, knocking her backwards and angering her further.
"Meee...Kiiiiill....Yooouuuu!" The Disguise Pokemon growled out, a strange apparition of an enormous needle appearing between her and Oranguru. "Celesta, don-!" Odd's cry came too late, the Mimikyu's Curse laid upon Oranguru as the spectral needle drove into her Disguised body, ripping a unholy shriek from her tiny form.
((Celesta learned Curse!))
Oranguru smirked at the tiny Pokemon, motioning for the Mimikyu to go on ahead with it's next attack, welcoming it. Once again, Odd's orders were cut off before he could even issue them. Celesta knew her Shadow Claw was useless now and that left her with only her Thunderbolt to rely on. Resulting in her issuing it yet again, sparking violently this time. Before she could let go of the electricity, however, Oranguru held it's leafy fan before it, a black aura overtaking it and the same aura engulfed Celesta. The Quash didn't stop her attack completely, but it prevented her from releasing it, resulting in the electric charge building up within her.
"Guru." The Psychic ape smiled as it cut off it's Quash, Celesta's Thunderbolt cutting through the air in a wild rush of lightning, a proper Thunderbolt blasting the great ape and shocking it thoroughly. Despite the twitching in it's muscles, it pointed it's fan at her and bid Celesta to attack once again. Despite her anger at the treatment she'd been receiving, Celesta understood what had happened. Surprised as she had been by that attack, she now knew why it hadn't been working properly before.
"Miiiii...Kyuuuu!" She exclaimed, rapidly charging up, though she didn't release the charge immediately, repeating the process twice more before she let loose. Once again, she released a proper Thunderbolt, zapping Oranguru again. This time, it was visibly showing signs of damage but it was smiling the whole time.
"Ora! Ora guru!"
Tossing a Dusk Ball in his hand, Odd prepared himself. He was getting tired of no say in how this battle was playing out but he was glad to see Celesta's Thunderbolt improving. After the last one, he tossed the ball and hoped for the best, watching Oranguru allow itself to be hit.

Crystal breathed a sigh of relief when the Quick Ball snapped shut, grabbing it out of the water and looking at it. "Huh. Donne, I think the Staryu shifted types at the end there. Seriously. That's... actually kind of cool." She wiped off the ball and stowed it away, looking around. "Want to look a bit more before heading out?"
"Orrrr.... bron!"
"Alright then. Let's go, Donne." She smiled as the two continued their exploration of the flooded stoor.

When the Dusk Ball drew Oranguru in and snapped shut with nary a moment's struggle, Odd was a bit skeptical at first but after nearly a minute of watching the ball suspiciously, it dawned on him that, perhaps, Oranguru had wanted to be caught. "Huh..." Picking up the ball and sticking it in his pocket, he turned back to Celesta and gave her a hard look for a moment. "What was that all about?" He asked, referring to how she had repeatedly attacked without instruction.
"Mi mi! Mikyu mi kyu mimi!" She replied, sounding both ashamed and proud at once.
"I saw you learned how to use Thunderbolt properly but that's not what I'm talking about..." Odd replied, picking her up. "We can talk about it some more when we get back to HQ, though." He told the tiny Fairy Ghost.
