Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tolin? Oh yeah, the old Scyther. Zaru had vague memories of the guy from a couple occasions, and he seemed like a good enough person to talk to about dealing with this problem with Blade.

"We should probably find a place to hide him first before we go looking for this Scyther. We might run into Solaris before we run into Tolin." Flash remarked, interrupting Zaru's train of thought. Oh... right... Solaris.

"Good plan, we'll put him somewhere safe and then go find Tolin. But..." The Mewtwo looked over at Zaru and sighed, finishing the Infernape's sentence for him. "Where are we gonna hide him?"

Zaru couldn't help but feel a slight flash of amusement when Azra revealed her secret spy base to them, having a nostalgic moment before nodding to the little Riolu. She made a good point with her last remark, Blade really wasn't in the best shape at the moment, and maybe if they got some non-alcoholic sustenance into him it would keep him from going crazy the second he woke up.

"All right, looks like you're in charge then." Flash said with a small smile, turning to Azra.

After Azra was gone, the two pokemon wasted no time in following the Riolu's directions down the hall to the closet in question, finding the key just where she'd said it would be and carefully placing Blade inside while Zaru glanced around anxiously in case anyone was coming.

"Okay, I'll go try to find Tolin, you stay here and keep an eye on Blade." the Infernape said quickly to Flash, who sighed resignedly and nodded agreement to the plan. He didn't have much of a choice in the matter; it was either stay behind and babysit the Scizor or run all over the place to look for the Scyther, and he was definitely more inclined to stay put for a while.

Zaru hurried off down the hallway to begin his search, and Flash sighed again before closing the door and waiting outside, leaning his back against the door as he did so.

Tolin

There weren't many closets in the main hall, so it didn't exactly take long to find the one with someone standing in front of it.
"Hello there, Flash." He spoke to the Mewtwo who was no doubt in Glaceon form by now. "I'm Tolin."
He had put the pendant away carefully within his team room and was personally rather exhausted. Teleporting back and forth all day when you weren't a natural psychic was tiring, especially with the distances he had been covering. And the whole "healing a near-fatal wound" thing.

Tolin

Tolin grabbed the key with his mind and settled it into the lock. With a click, it twisted. Tolin gave the Glaceon-Mewtwo a chance to step away from the door before pulling it open.
"Would you mind following my teleport trail and bringing him with you? I don't have the energy for a passenger at the moment and it would be best if we could do this somewhere more discreet."
Zaru had been very specific about the "avoiding Solaris" part, and the main hall was not the best place to do so. Not to mention two people standing in front of a closet was unusual and bound to draw attention. There were better places with which this could be handled, whatever... it was.

Tolin

"Yeah, and it's just about the best place we could hope to put him. It'll be a little chilly for the time being, though."
Well, that's what the heaters were for.
With that, he teleported off to the Move Tutor. More specifically, to it's basement.

Zosee was struggling with pulling a piece of wheeled machinery by the handle, still trying to figure out if it was easier to pull on it backwards or push it forwards ahead of her. Neither gave her much visibility, she it had to do until she got to the village and bought a harness of some sort.

"Zosee!" A Flareon ran down the halls, claws skidding against the marble floors as he turned a sharp corner. The manectric stopped at the sound of her name, and looked around the machinery to see the somewhat-familiar eeveelution heading for her. Atra stopped in front of her, looking between her and the machinery.

"You're leaving?"

"Yes."

Atra's eyes flicked to the machinery.

"Let me come with you."

"No thanks kid."

Atra's ears flicked in annoyance at being called a "kid', but he held his tongue in front of one of his heroes, if no one else.

"It's too dangerous to drag that out with you the entire way alone. It'll slow you down, tired you out. You won't be able to run away from a fight. You're one of the best, but you were good because you and Zero worked so well together." The flareon explained. "If nothing else, let me help you get to your pack safely. I want to help."

Zosee sighed and turned back to the machine.

"Look, I'm sorry but..."

"Come to my room. I have materials for making good harnesses so you can manage that better. Lilium would be happy to help you, she was the one who made all of mine." The harness he used to keep his plate strapped to his back frequently...deteriorated from the intense heat, so he often had to get it replaced. Zosee stared at him for a moment, and let out a small smile. She remembers the first time she met him. Zosee and Zero had allowed him to join them on their mission to humour the little eevee. He had been quite adamant about joining their team back then, though they had been more adamant about not letting him.

"Fine then."
