Welcome to Gaia! ::

~Kewnew ~Aidan~Nadia ~Mugen~Raven


Kewnew and Mugen, both in their fiery forms decided it best to sit this one out despite the provided items that would aid them. The rest of the lot however were a bit less cautious, those who needed gladly grabbing a necessary Air Bead before returning to their barely unidentifiable teams.
Strange enough, once back in position, Raven had the most peculiar aura reading from one of the Pokemon around him.
"Rin...?"
He asked with a tilted Croagunk head added on to his question directed toward a Riolu he did not recognize. Hopefully having just been reunited with someone whom he had be searching for the past few days to no avail.

Trev fell backwards at the sudden appearance of the loud Espeon. He groaned as yet more pain shot through his bones and joints.
"I'm not Tolin, and I don't know what going on!"
The used-to-be Cyndaquil's voice was rising as he spoke, obviously pissed off by the events that were taking place. Trev mentally decided to take a nap for a couple to days once this whole thing was over. He heard the Buneary talk about how they were mounting a expedition, not that Trev was going to join it. He still wasn't fully used to his body and not to mention every movement was a pain.

Klash went up and grabbed one of the air beads. She wanted to get her body back as soon as possible. Fortunately, she was getting used to the body a little bit more each time she walked.

Urvine decided not to go on the expedition, after all, what could he do in a Skitty's body? Instead he curled up in a ball and decided to take a nap.

The Leafeon-turned-Buneary glared at Lia's suppressed laughing but sighed in the face of his wife's amusement. It couldn't be helped. Not only did he switch with a Buneary, but he switched with one with such a ridiculously large tail as well.

After everyone was ready and sorted themselves out, Pluto went back down to all fours and trotted to the entrance, his annoying tail resting atop his head. Oh, after this was dealt with, if he finds out who caused this...

When they got there, a white beach spread out before them and to either side. The water was shallow, warm, and the sun glowed brightly overhead. A few beach-goers looked up curiously at the guild, but shrugged it off and went back to their lying on the sand and splashing around the water.

Pluto walked over to the edge of the water and slowly walked down into it, grimacing as the water reached his neck. Even though he knew the air beads would allow him to breath underwater, it did not make the thought any easier. Closing his eyes he ducked his head under and forced himself to breath in despite his instincts yelling at him not to.

After the first rush of water down his lungs, the rest was easy. He continued forward so that he was deep enough, so that even the largest of the guild members wouldn't have problems of their head going up above the water where they wouldn't be able to hear.

Atra doggy-paddled on the surface a bit, enjoying the fact that the water didn't start steaming and boiling upon contact with him for a little bit, before taking a deep breath and going under. He blew out the air, forcing himself to take a breath of the water, and paddled down to the bottom near Pluto, trying to keep an amused smirk off his face. Hehe, Pluto as a Buneary... Katara paddled down next to him, the glow of a psychic around him to help him fight the natural flotation of the body.

Zero swam with ease, his newfound body coming with with strong swimming reflexes. Which was good, since he could barely walk on land with the huge medallion dragging along the ground. He had thought to leave it behind, but decided against it when he felt the power of water within it. In the water, it didn't impede his progress nearly as much and might come in handy. Beside him swam Zora, who seemed to be enjoying her new body immensely. She flipped circled in the water, giggling as the world turned upside-down repeatedly. She liked the power in this body, not just physically, but magically as well.

Crescendo curled up with ease under the water, swimming circles around the group. A terrified Morana clung to her back. She had been underwater once on a mission, her TM-given ability to use Aqua Ring keeping her safe from her fire-type weakness. But even then she still felt the water boiling against her skin. But now...she was perfectly at ease in the water, breathing it in and out through gills easily, her very being made of water. That unnerved her much more than anything else.

Pluto waited for everyone to settle down.

"Our best course of action would be to ask the local Pokemon. I want you to head out in small groups and ask around, see if any has seen a Phione, or even better yet, Manaphy himself."

As Imiti and Celsus (no longer in the bag) proceeded downward, the first Pokemon they encountered was another Magikarp. Celsus noticed it immediately. "Hey--could I have your attention for a second? We're looking for Manaphy. Do you know where it is?"
A few feet away, Imiti happened upon a passing Seaking. "Oh hello there. We're looking for a Phione, or even better, Manaphy. Do you have any idea where they might be?"
(and in the event that I guessed wrong, use the post below)
As they continued looking, they passed a Quagsire. Imiti hailed it immediately. "Hi. Just wondering, have you seen a Phione? Even better, have you seen Manaphy?"
(Magikarp, Seaking, Quagsire)
