Ace came by to the main entrance with some empty bags held with each hand. Leon was carrying more. Truth be told, Ace wasn't entirely sure how much they needed, but if it had something to do with the moat, then they surely need as many as they can get. Noticing Maddy patiently waiting, Ace lift one of her hands to wave at the new leader as she walked towards the girl. "Hope this is enough bags," Ace said as she handed over as many as she could give to Maddy. "So where to start?"

Maddy smiled and waved back at the girl.
"You'd be surprised. It didn't take long to fill one bag. Over this way!"
She led Ace to the part of the moat her and Frogadier were currently working on. Maddy's Pokemon was floating in the water on it's back, looking up at the clouds. He let out a happy croaking sound and smiled as his trainer returned with help and more garbage bags. He dove underneath the water's surface and set back to work.
"I got Frogadier fishing garbage out of the bottom of the moat. It's definitely a job best suited to a Water-Type Pokemon." Maddy explained, sitting down in the grass. She took one of the garbage bags and unfolding it. An empty soda can burst out of the water and she caught it, putting it in the bag.
"I know I'm definitely not going to set foot in there until it's completely clean."

"I hear you." Ace responded as she glanced at the most in front of her. Ace gave a frown at the body of water. Somehow, it amazes her how much garbage was hidden inside that pool. She motioned over to her squirtle, and said, "Alright, I want you to go in the water, and pick up as many trash you can carry and bring it back here." She moved closer to her pokemon's face and spoke in a more serious tone. "If you see anything wrong underwater, you drop everything and swim away as fast as you can. You hear me?"
Leon gave his 'affirmative' gesture, and her face relaxed a bit. "Good, now get going!" Leon gave a nod before diving into the water. From what the blue turtle could see, there were a bunch of trash laying around; some buried in dirt. He came close to the floor before tugging one with all his might. As it broke free from the dirt, he swam to the surface before throwing it to Ace, who managed to catch the thing. And then he swam deep down in the water for more junk.
Ace's face contorted in disgust at the soggy, worn out 'boot' she caught. "I don't even want to know." She mumbled as she drop it in the trash bag.

"(Aaand right there.)" Misery says to her Bulbasaur as it places the final object in the display. "(That's it for this hallway... And still a whole lot more to go.)" She sighs. She motions to Bulbasaur to follow her as they head off to find more displays to clean and organize.

Maddy chuckled a little.
"I feel like people used to come here to hold parties and then just dump all their garbage in the river." She opened the bag and caught a banana peel in it as it was thrown at her face. "Frogadier and I have found every manner of object."
Frogadier surfaced, looking a little distressed. He seemed to be trying to drag something heavy over to the bank. Maddy jumped to her feet and rushed to the water's edge to help her Pokemon.
He had unearthed a tire!
"Wow. Some people are really disgusting..." Together, her and her Pokemon leaned the tire upright and they rolled it back to their slowly growing pile of garbage.

Ace gave an incredulous look at the tire found before shaking her head. "I swear, if I see anyone littering here again..." She caught the tin can that popped out of the water. "They won't make it out alive." She spat as she dropped it into the bag.
"Squirtle!" She glanced over to Leon; a bunch of trash was held between his grasp. "Oh good, throw it to me."
The blue pokemon blinked a few times before throwing all of it at once with his might. Ace's eyes widen as the trash were in the air. "No, one at a time!" She yelled as she attempted to run towards the falling objects. She barely managed to catch most of the trash, although some soggy paper was attached to the bottom of her shoe. For clearing the trash, it was definitely a workout.
"I need water." She gasped before crouching down. A beam of water hit her face momentary and she could see her squirtle giving her his 'smug' smile before throwing an empty bottle towards her. Ace scrunched her face at the little joker. "Haha, very funny." She sarcastically remarked in annoyance as she grab a hold of it before placing it in the garbage.

 Haru stands in silence watching these strange people cleaning trash with an overabundance of drama. A mudkip walks over to his side and, after exchanging looks of confusion, Haru says almost reluctantly "Need some help?"

Haru Adachi Haru stands in silence watching these strange people cleaning trash with an overabundance of drama. A mudkip walks over to his side and, after exchanging looks of confusion, Haru says almost reluctantly "Need some help?"Maddy returned the the water's edge and her Frogadier jumped back into the water. She turned to the boy who had just joined the team. "You're Haru, right? I'm Maddy." She held out a hand for him to shake. "Some help would be appreciated. The owner of the castle is allowing us to stay here in exchange for cleaning the place up, and the moat is absolutely filthy from people littering."

The presence of the new member didn't go unnoticed by Ace, but she was merely focused on getting the work done. 'The sooner she finish this, the better,' she thought as she had tied the trash-filled bags. By now, the trash that polluted the waters and greatly lessen, but there will still a lot more trash buried there.
By now, she had opened a empty bag, while waiting for her squirtle to fish out as much litter as he possibly can find. Moments later, he would be watering carrying empty glass bottles, bent cans, and soggy paper. And in the midst, there was a ring in there. "Oh, you found a ring huh?" Ace said as she pluck it from all the garbage the tiny turtle was carrying. She paused-a brief thoughtful look etch across her face-her lips at first drew a small smile before it then curved downward. "How useless." She commented flatly before dropping it in the bag. She then motioned Leon, the squirtle, to drop the rest of the trash into the bag.
Leon gave a shrug before entering back to the water to find more trash. Although he would agree that the ring holds no value to them (what use would a ring do in battle?), why was it that she gazed at the ring so...nostalgically? He shook his head. Humans are such complex creatures.

"Frogadier and I will move to the other side of the moat. I say this area is almost done now." Maddy said, turning to Ace.
Frogadier climbed onto the bank next to his trainer and together they moved to the other side of the castle to start cleaning the last part of the river.
The frog jumped into the water and began his work once more as Maddy plopped down into the grass.

Reaper sent out his Crawdaunt who began cleaning out the Moat. Crawdaunt began tossing out old shoes, bottles, old wallets and such from the bottom of the moat.

Slowly but surely, the stream of garbage flowing out of the moat came to a stop. Frogadier climbed up onto the bank and shook his head. He couldn't find anymore trash to throw out. Maddy crossed this task off the list.
"Awesome!" She said, returning her Pokemon.
"Now, what to move on to next..."

"I think that's how you do it." Ace mumbled as she gazed at the replaced lock in the door. After an hour of figuring out how to remove the old one and inserting a new one in it's place, she finally got it to fit. She held the knob, and twisted it firmly, testing out the durability and pliability of the new lock. With satisfaction, she moves over to find any other doors that require a lock replacement.

Maddy was wandering the hallways of the castle, dusting off any displays that might have been missed and making sure the items on display inside them were neat and tidy. She had to oil the hinges on one display, as it creaked just a little too loudly for her liking as she opened it to inspect the inside.
"This castle is coming along so nicely. We've really done this man a favor." She mumbled to herself.

Allen jiggled on one of the locks on a door which he had no idea where it lead. "Huh..." Slowly, he opened the door, finding a long staircase leading down until it faded to black. His spine gave a tingling sensation that made him shiver, "Let's just get this lock changed..." He moved as quickly as possible, but his hands wouldn't stop dropping things or he could stop glancing down into the darkness and would loose concentration and a screw would slip here or there. In the end, it took about an hour to change just the one lock. After he checked to make sure it worked properly, he quickly slammed it shut, gathered his tools and moved to find the next door. "I dunno if that was worth it..." (11/15)
