 "You're both correct," Sylam nodded, pointing out over the waves, "My people have most of the ancient writings in their possession at the Snowpoint Temple, even some from this region. Many ages ago, a temple was built, however, in a battle for this town, the temple was nearly destroyed. In order to keep the secrets inside protected, the people who lived here used their own water Pokemon, submerging the foundations, and burying the entire complex under the waves. They then burned any reference to the temple and the details on the legend that they could find, and refused to speak of it, even to their own children, and so the temple has been lost for all these years."
"They'd rather see their treasure destroyed than to see it fall to their enemies," he stated sadly.
"Over time, since those who knew of it have passed away, it became merely a sunken pile of rubble, which most disregarded as a reef, since it became home to many Pokemon. However, what most do not realize, is that there's a second and third level beneath what you can see from underwater, beneath the very sands themselves. This is where the half of the blade was hidden," Sylam explained, "And this is where we need to head."

Sylam recalled the ever-silent Artemis, nodding slightly, "Yes, we must stop them before its too late," he agreed. Clipping the Glaceon's Pokeball to his belt, he hung his white coat on the branch of one of the trees, before pulling out another Pokeball, calling out the Lapras from within, he hopped easily onto the Pokemon's back, before nodding to the others.
"I can guide you to the temple's entrance, I thank you again for your help," he smiled gratefully.

((I'm going to have to leave for work in a little bit, so I'm gonna have to call it quits for now. Most likely I'll be back on later tonight, after I get back, though.
XD I think Brayden chose the wrong Pokemon to dna merge with, he loves the water.))
Brayden nodded, there really didn't seem to be any other way than to swim. He shivered slightly, knowing what that would most likely mean, but he shook it off angrily. He grew up near the ocean, damn it, he could swim perfectly fine, he thought to himself. Pulling up the colar of his own vest, he took a deep breath, steeling himself. There was no way he'd allow his own weakness hold the others back. Brayden made sure his belongings were secure, his bag still draped over his shoulder, he tightened the strap, and made positive that nothing could fall out.
He could do this, no problem.
The first couple of steps into the gently lapping waves didn't seem to have anything to worry about, other than the quickened pace of his own heartbeat. So Brayden took another deep breath, holding it this time as he dashed forward.
And dove beneath the waves determidly.
At first, there didn't seem to be any effects, other than a slight sense of paranoia, which he wracked up to his own foolishness. Water couldn't hurt that much, when you knew how to handle it, right?
Wrong. He figured that out immediately, as the next second brought a wave of dizziness to him that, if he weren't paddling up to the surface, would have knocked him off his feet. A cry left his lips as the pain commenced, escaping as mere bubbles before he broke the surface, panting, with a grimace, shaking his head, sending drops of water flying.
'I... I don't think I can do it,' he thought weakly to himself, vision bluring as another wave of intense pain wracked through him shooting down his spine with electrifying force, causing his gaze to cloud over rather oddly. He supposed he knew how a fire type felt when being hit with a water attack. He'd never think of type advantages the same way again, that's for sure.
'But... I won't give up,' he thought stubbornly, shaking his head. With Kaya currently underwater, he took the opportunity to let out a small whimper of pain, making sure it wasn't noticed.
'Vulnerability is a weakness,' a voice echoed in his thoughts, one from his past.
"Don't show it," he whispered the rest of the quotation quietly, letting a tear mix with the saltwater.
Although he would have thrown up on the spot if he had recalled who that voice belonged to.
Taking another breath, Brayden dove underwater again, as the pain renewed itself, he brushed it aside, ignoring it completely, trying his best to numb himself to it. The tears continued, but at least underwater, they were undiscernable from the cold (oh so very cold, to him at least) ocean surrounding him.
That was the only solace he had currently, as not even his sight was reliable, blurring every couple of seconds, with fierce determination.

His thoughts still lingering on his brother, Sylam missed the reaction Brayden had to the water, gaze ahead on the area where he knew the temple to lie. He had his questions on the group, each of which held a different Pokemon's traits, it seemed, but hey, he's seen weirder, right? He turned, making sure they were following, before patting the Lapras on the head.
"Let's go, Kika," he murmured, as the Lapras nodded, crying out happily to be back in the ocean which she loved. It wasn't often that she was able to swim freely, since the waters of Snowpoint were mostly frozen over this time of year, with the few trading ships routes carved into the ice, the rest was solid, not really creating the best conditions for a relaxing swim, she lamented.
But she was pleased to be back in the water, charging ahead, easily cutting through the waves, towards where her master pointed, a small crop of rocks, jutting above the surface of the waves.

Nona listened and nodded, as though she understood what was going on. When they all jumped in the water, following the Lapras, Nona stood there and stared for a moment...
"HEY! WAIT FOR ME!!!" she called out, pulling off her hoodie to reveal a longer, grey tanktop underneith. She took off her large boots, and released the Great Pretender from his ball. "Come on, hun, let's catch up with them. She dived into the water, swiming as fast as she could to keep up with them.

Brayden turned, hearing Nona, he smiled faintly, nodding silently as he continued on towards where Sylam and his Lapras were guiding the group. He could faintly see what appeared to be rocks rising up above the water's surface, to which he gave a sigh of relief. He honestly didn't know if he could last too much longer in the water, despite his determination, he could tell that he was slowly growing weaker.
Shaking his head from the thoughts that lurked there, Brayden continued on, not entirely trusting his voice at the moment, so he remained silent.

Now Brayden had every intent of protesting the sudden carrying of his person above the waves, except there were two problems. One, Kaya had ducked below the waves again, and out of earshot, and he doubted the Dragonair would follow orders from anyone other than his trainer. And two, the protest that came out of his mouth turned into a jumbled, murmured, mess that even he himself couldn't decipher, as his vocal chords froze up completely on him, betraying him again.
"You don't hasmmph," was all he could decipher, which was pretty sad, considering it was him who was saying it.
Brayden shivered, hopefully he didn't look as much like a drowned rat as he felt currently, wrapped in the Dragonair's tail, panting slightly, as he flew along behind their guide gave Brayden time to think about what exactly had taken place. That in turn brought his mind back to the associated pain that was now a bit easier on him, but the effects were still throbbing through him in a steady lurch.
Vision blurring again, this time without the distraction of his stubbornness at pushing on, Brayden found it more and more difficult to stay alert. He caught himself staring at nothing but black twice, shaking his head to clear it, and temporary clear his vision, but soon, black was seeping from the corners of his eyes, and he lost the fight, falling limp suddenly, blacking out. He surely would have fallen back into the waters, had it not been for Saron's tail still wrapped around him.

The slight weight of a hand on his forehead caused Brayden to stir slightly. It was cool, felt good, his dazed and slightly feverish mind mused absently. He would most likely have arched into the touch had it not been that every bone and muscle would have screamed at him for doing so.
It didn't seem there was a place on him that didn't hurt, which he took for a good thing, because that meant he hadn't died yet. Although considering the pounding in his head, death might be the lesser of two evils. Brayden's mind cleared slightly, giving him room to attempt to open his eyes, which somehow, he still had faint control over. No matter that they felt like they weighed a ton each.
"Ow..." was all he managed, but at least he himself could understand him on that one. At least one thing was going semi-right today.
Okay, eyes open, we had two. Brayen blinked groggily. When had he closed his eyes to begin with anyway?
"Wha?" he murmured, realizing that he was on stone rather than in water.
