Neon---Alfred---Scarlet
Neon turned sharply as the Scyther reappeared, her face twisted between relief and concern. She couldn't decide if she should be okay with this information or still relatively stressed out. She settled on a sort of midway point where she was calm, but alert.
She paid no mind to the dire discussion between the two and gave only the briefest of nods upon being addressed.
It was Tolin's final statement that had her glance upward, but before she could speak a shadow passed overhead.
The Espeon's fur stood on end in panic and she dashed under Desmond without a second thought.
Something rather large, though not as large as the Lugia, was gliding directly above them and slowly descending down.
The shape was very dragon-esque in appearance and upon getting a couple of hundred feet from the ground it turned to make it's landing a fair distance away, if only out of fear of attack.
Scarlet was not keen on being assaulted by these strange Pokemon in case they were as on edge as Sai had explained.
The Flygon did not duck to allow either of her passengers to disembark just yet. She wanted to make sure these were the right Pokemon they were looking for, though the Glaceon had said a Scyther was one. She didn't mention the Lugia though.
It took a moment, Sai's verification as well, for her to dip her long neck down into a bow and unfold her wings to allow the two off her back.
Alfred remained behind the Flygon, not out of fear of either Tolin or Neon since he recognized Tolin at least...and Neon was an Espeon, which meant she was not threatening at all.
It was Desmond that made him flinch back and keep his distance, he tightened his grip around the two plushies in his arms.

 SaileitheSai was quick to hop off of Scarlet's back, her eyes remained locked on Tolin since they landed, as if collecting her thoughts. It was clear she was unsettle. It would be clear why soon enough.
"Thank you, Scarlet. It was lovely meeting you, and thanks again for the help. Tell Barcel I wish him well." She was quick and simple as she paced toward Tolin, but stopped short to look back at Alfred. "It's okay, Alfred. They're on our side." Sai smiled before looking back at Tolin. She finished her last few paces before sitting back on her hind legs so her front were free to reach into her scarf and unfold the flyer. "Alfred and I met her, her name is Scarlet, and an Empoleon she lives with named Barcel. They were a rescue team too at one point. Anyway, here. It's self explanatory..." Sai stopped to take a breath. She was exhausted.
"I thought it would be best to show you first." The frail Glaceon held the paper up toward Tolin, her tail stretched out behind her for balance.

Tolin & Desmond
Desmond was the first of the pair to notice the incoming pokemon.
Both his hearing and his psychic stretched considerably further than Tolin's, naturally.
The Scyther didn't take long to notice the Lugia following the far-off creature.
As the Flygon walked over, he carefully set the tea cup down. With a relaxed pace, he began walking over to meet her.
Needless to say, he was at least a little surprised by her passengers.
Wasn't that Epitaph's daugher? Whatever.
"Alfred, are you well?"
He called well past the Glaceon and only half-caught her words, but the paper was enough.
His eyes narrowed in a clear and obvious anger as he read it before he finally ripped it in half.
"Thank you. I'll keep this in mind."
There would have to be something done about this.
These sheets would turn him into a target the planet over.

Neon---Alfred---Scarlet
Scarlet nodded to Sai as the Glaceon began to trot away before turning and preparing to take off again.
"Are you leaving now?" The Flygon turned to Alfred at the question, but the Gardevoir dropped his gaze to the ground immediately.
"Yes, but feel free to visit if you wish." The Dragon stated with a smile, raising a clawed hand in a gesture of a wave. At the invitation Alfred glanced back up again and gave a slight smile.
"Thank you."
Scarlet's face twisted then, looking as though she was fighting something for all the world and Alfred could only watch on in concern for a moment before the Flygon gave into the impulse and lunged forward to pull the Gardevoir into a rather awkward hug. Considering she had to practically pick him up to do so.
"YOU'RE TOO CUTE"Alfred was left blinking in bewilderment until she set him down, finished her farewells and took off.
The Gardevoir's expresson went from confusion to slight annoyance. He was fairly certain 'CUTE' had never been used to describe him before and he was torn on accepting it as a compliment or being offended.
At the sound of his name he turned, ears lifting slightly, and another smile crossed his face upon spotting Tolin.
"I'm fine!" The Gardevoir stated, but his face fell as he quickly tried to decide if that were true or not. It was. Aside from the whole, being attacked, traumatized, hurt, frightened...eh...no. No, he wasn't fine.
Tears started to brim his eyes again. Oh Arceus, he wanted to just sleep it all away. He raised the Flareon plushy to wipe his eyes on the back of it's ******** all of you, Neon's not leaving her Lugia shield ever again. Nope. Not happening.

SaileitheSai watched Tolin in silence, ignoring those otherwise around her. His reaction made her ears lower as she returned down to her four paws and then stepped back before sitting down before the Scyther. "Don't mention it. What are you going to do though? Should I tell mom?" ... Should anyone else know? "I wonder where else these posters are. Or even for how long they've been here to begin with?" The Glaceon sighed as she pushed her glasses up on her nose. "Stepping up on Alfred's security would be a wonderful start, just saying."
Sai was oblivious of Charles' encounter with the Elite back in the Chamber. Had she known, her comment would have been nothing less of expected. "You're lucky he was around."

Tolin & Desmond
"I already have someone in mind."
It might take a touch of effort to convince him, but aside from Desmond there wasn't anyone else strong enough that he could trust.
And, as to the posters... he already had an idea.
"And don't tell anyone for the time being. I'll inform everyone myself."
God forbid something happen and the knowledge got into the wrong hands.
The guild was filled with their people, but how many of them would turn for a Jirachi?
Probably quite a few.
He would inform as few as possible and take care of the posters himself.
The Scyther stood straight from where he had very slightly leaned and crouched to better address the Glaceon and walked over to Alfred.
He put one scythe behind Alfred's back to gently push him along towards Desmond.
"Let's go. We'll go to my team room and you can rest for a while, alright?"

Neon---Alfred
The Gardevoir glanced at Tolin once before looking to Desmond and fretfully trying to step back as he was pushed forward, the result was him mostly just dragging his feet on the ground since the Scyther was much stronger. He was not to keen on legendary at the moment. The last one was entirely mad.
After a moment of thoughtful aside glances he nodded briefly to the Scyther's words and moved forward on his own accord. "Okay."
'Bye', he mouthed to the Glaceon still holding the plushies in front of him like tiny, fluffy shields. Those would really ward off the Lugia if he attacked. gj alfy
Neon crept out from under the great dragon-like Pokemon as Scarlet left. Her ears flattened as she heard the news and she frowned deeply in thought. Arceus, there was never a dull moment. She almost missed sitting in her tend and talking to shadows on the wall.
"I'm to come as well?" She asked, though she already knew the answer. It was mostly to relieve the tense silence. She glanced at Alfred for a moment, but he starred back blankly with no recognition of her and so she remained silent in regards to him.

SaileitheSai listened in silence as Tolin began to walk off toward Alfred. She eventually just closed her eyes and nodded before dragging herself to her paws and walking off herself.
“Will do, enjoy. I’ll walk myself back later.” She placed herself under a tree with nothing more to say. She had little worry about transportation. Mom would probably just send Anues to check up on her, nothing new. With that, the Glaceon laid down with a heavy sigh. Today was too stressful.

Tolin & Desmond
"If you're sure you'll be fine."
Wasn't she fairly sickly, if he recalled? He hadn't really ever met her before, as far as he remembered anyways.
Well... whatever. She didn't seem particularly worried.
Tolin kept going towards the legendary (and gently pushing Alfred along in the process as was necessary) until he was in contact with both of them.
Desmond simply outstretched his two wings carefully to make contact with both the Espeon and the Scyther.
"Let's go. Both of you can rest there."
It was sort of an offhand way to address Neon's non-question, but there it was all the same.
It was only a moment after he spoke that the group disappeared in a quiet teleport.

Steven
Steven had walked a fair way to get to where he was. There wasn't really any reason to be here so much as there was a reason not to be anywhere else. The absence of pokemon here made it a safe place to sleep... he didn't need to worry about someone sneaking up on him in the night.
He pulled the tent flap shut and zipped it about three quarters of the way down. Enough to keep out any would be intruders, but enough that he could force his way out without needing to fiddle if it was necessary. If some kind of massive creature came by he wouldn't have the time to stop and open up the tent, after all.
He glanced over to his side. He could still see it there, the vague outline in the darkness. He didn't have any sources of light active, so all he could see was the soft curve.
Somehow or another, he still had the damn thing.
He really needed to get rid of it before it hatched.((This is NOT an open post. This is for the egg from the last chapter; please don't reply unless you're Shawn.))

Steven's egg wobbled violently suddenly before splitting open to reveal a Flying Type Sentret

Steven
Steven had, as he always did, retreated into the insides of his shell to sleep. It was one of the advantages of being a Wartortle. He didn't really need a bed, because his bed was his shell. It was especially advantageous as he traveled, since it guaranteed that he never had a bad night's sleep because of sleeping on something unfamiliar.
However, tonight something stirred him from his sleep. He heard a noise. Noises weren't unusual. Noises inside the tent were.
Steven's head very carefully slipped outside of his shell as he looked around. The tent was empty as far as he could tell, and unchanged with one exception.
The egg had opened up... and whatever was in there was gone. Had it hatched and escaped, perhaps?
It was certainly possible. He had left the tent flap slightly open and he had no idea what was in the egg... any number of pokemon could've slipped out.
The Wartortle scratched his head before shrugging and giving up.
"Whatever. It's not my job to take care of it."
Steven laid back down slowly when, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a small bit of movement from above.
He was back on his feet in an instant and ready to fight though it quickly proved unnecessary.
A small Sentret was, somehow, hovering at the top of his tent. In the darkness he couldn't make out much, but it seemed small in comparison to the norm. Also... very round?
The Wartortle raised one hand cautiously in a friendly wave.
"Hi."
The Sentret almost seemed as if it intended to reply but before it got the chance it came crashing down to the ground. With a loud and alarmed squeak the creature hit the ground and nearly bounced right off before taking to it's feet and running towards Steven.
It quickly ran up Steven's leg and across his side. After ending up on his back, the little creature ran to the end of his tail before crawling back under it and running along it to come back up from between Steven's legs. It kept going straight forward, up Steven's body and across his face.
"H-hey! Cut that out!"
In spite of the Wartortle's words and flailing attempts to remove the Sentret, it simply kept running around his body before finally getting off to run up one of the tent walls. Once it got to the top, however, it lost it's grip and came back down on Steven's head.
In one accelerated motion, the Sentret pushed it's way past Steven's head and into his shell.
With it's body safely stored inside of Steven's shell, it's tail began to wag back and forth. Each motion had it smacking Steven in the face again and again and again.
Steven fell backwards onto the ground as he tried to grab a hold of the tail. When he finally got a good grip on it, he gave the Sentret a sharp tug in order to try and get it out.
Steven's sharp tug was met by a much, much sharper pair of claws gripping into the very sensitive skin that was under his shell.
With a hushed howl, Steven let go of the tail and quickly came to the conclusion that doing that again was a bad idea.
...He couldn't get the damn thing out. And he didn't even need to try to know that he couldn't fit inside of his shell with it in there.
And if he rolled over onto his stomach he would squish it and probably get clawed to death.
He would have to lie on his back with an ADHD Sentret tail smacking his face for the entire night.
...
s**t.

Alfred---Momo---Goldclaw
The outlands were quiet, no Pokemon in sight as far as the eye could see. The plains were flat, leaving no room for a surprise assault from any side. One could see for miles and it was this reason that the group of Pokemon escaping the guilds had chosen this route. The group had, at one point before, been much larger but a decision to split up had been made to make them less noticeable.
The only thing delaying the small group of Pokemon that were steadily making their path through the outlands was the small Gardevoir who continued to stop and glance back in the direction they'd come from. The Absol leading the way finally grew annoyed. The gold and white creature stopped in his tracks to turn on the Psychic with a growl.
"You! Keep up, dammit!"
Alfred flinched at the shouting but refused to go any further. The Gardevoir turned to glance back once more where the guild was still barely visible behind them. "What about Tolin?"
"For ******** sake..." At the Scyther's name the Absol turned and began to stalk off. Momo, who had been clinging to Goldclaw's back the entire time, drifted up into the air to find a new perch on Alfred's shoulder. The Gardevoir ignored her and turned to the Ivysaur walking along next to them.
"Serrin. What about everyone else...?" The Grass type would have no chance to answer, ahead Gold gave a loud growl. The Absol barred his teeth and flattened himself to the ground instinctively.
"Goldy, what is it?" The Azelf curled about Alfred's shoulders asked, her small voice trembling. The legendary had good reason to be afraid. There was something ahead, though one couldn't see it. It's presence was smothering, like a musky blanket had just been thrown over her. Dark and foreboding. She shook violently in fear before giving a squeak and diving into the back of the Gardevoir's jacket.
"H-hey! Get out of there!" Alfred, not noticing anything at all, reached his hands back to try and tug the Azelf out of his coat by her tails but she was not inclined to budge anytime soon.

 EbonyThe Lopunny shifted in the shadows, her long ears nearly trailing in the dust as she waited. She could sense the approach of a group nearby, but their pace was lagging ever slower. Her father had yet to teach her the art of aura-reading, but she was certainly adept at other forms of tracking and stalking her chosen targets.
The first she saw of the group was a glint of gold and white. An Absol led the group, with striking silvery fur and a curved golden head-scythe. She'd heard of Goldclaw, though she'd never seen the male before. He was a fascinating specimen, considering the rare colouration of his extremities. It was truly a shame that he was not to be permitted to exist long enough to produce any sort of offspring. The descendants of such a creature would make suitable recruits for her father's cause, if they'd had the time and available means to accomplish such a task.
A young Ivysaur, ordinary as they came, accompanies Alfred. The Gardevoir seemed timid as Solaris lately. His previous mannerisms had all but died away, and she found herself lacking in respect for the feminine Psychic. He had no attitude. Frankly it would be a dull battle for all.
The final member of their group was a childish little legendary, but again she paid it no mind. Goldclaw seemed to be the most powerful of the group.
She evened her breathing, quieting herself. It mattered not, who was present at the moment. None of them were strong enough to fight her off entirely, and her purpose was merely to thrash them around a little. Striking fear into the hearts of few would in turn strike doubts into the hearts of many. She would make the guilds rue the day that they ever stood against her.
She shifted very suddenly from her hiding place, merging into the shadows and racing toward the group through the cracks in the barren earth.
Ebony sprang spontaneously upward, kicking hard into the lower jaw of the Ivysaur. Serrin's jaws slammed together, his skull being forcibly rammed into a nearby rock. The Grass-type slumped forward, crumbling down to rest at the base of the boulder he'd been thrust against. Serrin was no longer a factor in the situation at hand.
Sharply-focused crimson eyes fixed on Goldclaw, and she bared her pointed canines as she faced him. Already the Absol had been alert to her ambush, as she could only have expected. She wasn't foolish enough to attack the beast in such quick succession. When your enemy carried a blade, it was best to be cautious, especially when they were so adapted to using it.
She unsheathed her own, hissing in challenge to the male.

Alfred---Momo---Goldclaw
Gold's curved talon-like claws hooked into the earth beneath him as he flattened down until his belly practically scraped the soil. The Absol's only reaction to the Lopunny's sudden assault and quick termination of Serrin was a rapid series of blinking. He'd barely seen her move. He'd...sensed somewhat that she was nearby but he hadn't thought so close, nor did he comprehend her speed. By the time he'd come over his shock the Ivysaur had been tossed to the side like nothing and the rabbit was leering at him.
He balked, took a single step back, before catching himself and with a growl stepped back forward to match her challenge.
What foolishness. She'd appeared in a split second and already incapacitated one of them with ease. Poor Serrin hadn't even seen it coming no doubt. He'd wake up confused as hell, if he woke up at all. The Absol cringed inwardly. The grass type had taken a hard hit, there was no time to check whether he'd survived it or not but Gold could only hope. Wasn't he fairly close to that bitchy Scyther? The disaster Pokemon sensed a lecture in his near future if he made it to the future.
Wasn't looking too good at this rate.
Behind him Momo had ceased trying to crawl down Alfred's jacket, which was lucky for the Gardevoir as he'd stopped trying to stop her the second Serrin went flying past him. Alfred had only the briefest second to realize what had happened before noticing, for the first time, the black Lopunny that had approached. His mind reeled, realization struck almost instantly. That wasn't a face you forgot so easily. It was one he remembered quite vividly when he slept. After all, she pretty much plagued his nightmares like a shadow. Always looming in the background.
Instinct told him to run, but he blocked out all reasoning. Too terrified to even move. Gold seemed to realize this, the Absol shouted back at him to 'move his a**' and watching the Gardevoir pale and freeze up told him a few things.
First of all, Alfred wasn't moving. Which lead to the second item in question.
They were boned.
With death being an ever present possibility the Absol did the only thing he could think of.
Take that b***h with him when he went.
He dropped back to a pounce then, powerful backlegs pushing him up into the air in a leap. His golden claws aimed at the rabbit's throat, thirsting for her immenent demise.
