Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zeus and Crocs looked at each other. They were both thinking the same thing. They needed to come up with a stratagy. They could stick with Crocs slowing down the ice types with scary face while Zeus takes them out with his fighting and electric attacks.Thats what they normally do and it seemed to work for them in the past. Zeus looked around to analize the other teams. "Wow, when that alarm goes off, nearly every team comes to answer the call" Zeus said. He turned to Crocs "I guess you and I arnt the only ones who thought they could get recegnition from this." Zeus said. Crocs nodded but then turned his attention to Lucy. "Hey Lucy, You mind filling us in on whats going on? all we know is that we were called here for assistance, but what could be happpening that we would be called?" Crocs asked Lucy.

Isaire padded behind Rion as he led the way, head still hanging down in defeat as her tail drug behind her, but her ears perked up at the sound of an alarm, and an announcement calling for all able bodied teams. Isaire perked up at this herself, running to stop Rion.
"Forget capture the flag! We need to go help," she exclaimed, beginning to run back to the center of it all. Rion stopped at this.
"Aww, but I wanted to play capture the flag," he said in a moan. Isaire stopped and glared at him.
"We can't miss a chance like this! Do you know how many other teams are probably there already? I don't want to be left out," Isaire said, turning to go, but still Rion didn't move. She thought quickly, trying to think of something to get him to come along, and then she found it.
"Just think about it. If they have to call all the teams in the area, think of how important the matter at hand is. It could be quite the adventure," Isaire coaxed as Rion turned more towards her. It wasn't a moment later that he was in.
"Well, what are we waiting for! Let's go," he exclaimed, padding past Isaire, who struggled to follow behind.

Rion skidded to a halt as he reached the center of attention, looking around at all the other teams and pokemon that were around, as Isaire came in behind him, panting and dragging her tail again. She stopped to get her breath as she looked around with Rion, now realizing just how lost and out of place they were. She leaned into Rion.
"How do we figure out whats going on? They all look too scary to ask," she whispered, now cowering back as her ears folded down, and her tail wrapped around her for a slight sense of security.

Rion looked down to Isaire who was curling up by his side, almost using him as a cover. He was a little thrown off at this, seeing his "perfect" leader so intimidated, he didn't quite know how to react. He took a side step to the left, leaving Isaire out in the open, who only curled up tighter, without much to say. She watched all the pokemon around now, and saw one heading towards her, only to have him go through her. She froze at this, fur standing up on end as she continued to shake. Rion watched this, turning to Isaire.
"What's with you," he asked inquiringly, still to excited about such an adventure to actually focus on much else. Isaire looked up to him.
"Umm, uh, nothing. It's just cold in here is all. Don't worry about me though, we should find out what's going on," Isaire said in a quiet, shaky voice. Rion studied her more closely now, she wasn't a very good liar.
"You're scared aren't you? Just a few minutes ago you were the one that convinced me to come here. What's your deal," he continued, now focusing a bit more on Isiare, who only continued to quiver in a curled up ball of white and silver. She looked around.
"I hadn't realized how strong all the other teams are. They're all so big and strong, and I'm a Meowth cub who couldn't even compare to the others of my age because I was so small," she said quietly, her voice just barely audible. Rion stopped at this. That was a first. He had never seen her so vulnerable before, and that was a huge piece of insight of how her life had been for her. He still wasn't too fond of her, but he couldn't just leave her shaking like that, so he took a side step back, not as close as before, but didn't want her to feel so out in the open.

They nodded at what Lucy suggested. Crocs looked over at the team of cats and gave them a jolly smile."Look on the bright side,we aren't the only team of rookies to go on this mission,huh Zeus?" Crocs said. Zeus nodded "That's right, just stick with us.We may be rookies, but we have a strategy that will keep all the ice monsters at bay." He said in a reassuring tone. Crocs began to walk to the portal "That's right, this will be a walk in the park for us..." After he said that he tripped and face planted onto the floor. "This means nothing...we are still awesome." Crocs said with his face still on the floor, so it was a little muffled. Zeus sighed, he turned to the team of cats "So wanna hang with us for this mission?" He offered holding his hand out.

Ethfael shivered as a chill wind blew past, taking in the scenery about them. The entire island was covered in snow and ice, and a mountain that looked as if it was made of pure ice. The sky was eerily dark, and Ethfael felt slightly nervous in spite of himself. It clearly wasn't the most welcoming of places to be, but one could have expected as much. As he moved forward he slid more than usual thanks to the lack of friction on the ice. The Dratini made a mental note about that, because it could be the difference between life and death when it came to the battle.

Sereni looked about with about as much enthusiasm as Ethfael. She was reminded of the volcano where they had fought Heatran and quivered slightly. With any luck this would not be a repeat of that scenario. Lucinda had said that it was just Ice-Types and Kage that they had to deal with, but she couldn't stop the shivers that ran down her spine. "It's so desolate..." she said quietly to Ethfael.

The Dratini nodded, but said nothing, feeling less than talkative. His thoughts were somewhere else, although he appeared focused, and without Era there he lost his willingness to talk.
Sereni could tell a bit of this and bit her lip nervously; it made her feel as good as by herself to have Ethfael being so distant. She looked about, sticking close to her silent leader, and watched warily for any sign of trouble.

Team Thundercloud

Bel jumped at the sound of the alarm, listening intently to the details. After he heard the word: "Ice", he ran out the door and into the guild hall without so much as a "Later!" to his teammates. Sighing, Elly elected to accompany him, leaving Fon to care for the eggs their team had adopted.

They arrived just as everyone made their way into the portal, sliding in at the coattails of the group. Bel seemed especially happy with the chilly environment on the other side, but Elly, however, was quite the opposite, huddled up to her partner for warmth.
