Grumbling the whole time, Argyle would make his way back down the path. Best to get all the disgruntled feelings out now so they wouldn't show when he returned to class. He had an image to maintain as a butler after all.

It seemed the Poison-type had heard the boy, and shared his sense of humor.

Little more in the way of convincing was required on the boy's part, and so he obtained his first and for the time being only Pokemon.
Since then Jekyll has proven a good match for Argyle, frequently snickering at the boy's comments be they made aloud, or simply implied.

Alice would find she had quite a bit of luck...or lack there of. Almost seconds after her flight began she'd crash into a bush, her clothes lightly snagging, although it wasn't until she got dragged into a second one that she'd become well and truly stuck. Or rather the Yanma became unable to pull her out so long as she didn't move. After much tugging the Yanma would eventually give up, flying off into the deeper parts of the bog; either in search of easier targets, or maybe to get more Yanma to air lift her out.
Regardless Alice was free. She'd have twigs in her hair and scratches on her skin...or whatever passed for it...but she'd be well and truly free of the Yanma. She'd be able to continue on without incident, or reward for that matter' but hey she still had her health!
Well, at least Argyle wasn't the only one having a bad time. A Beldum rolled around on the rock, wailing in horror. >DID YOU SEE THAT EXPLOSION? IT'S GALACTIC! THEY'RE FINALLY RETURNED FOR ME! THEY'RE GOING TO THROUGH ME BACK INTO SPACE AND I'M NEVER GOING TO FIND TRUE LOVE AND...< It trailed off before taking a deep breath. >AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH< So wrapped up in its own melodrama that it didn't even notice Argyle.

For a moment Argyle would slow down. He had no idea what this Beldum was screaming about, but it was making enough of a racket it was hard not to stare. Eventually however he'd begin walking at a brisker pace, not running to avoid drawing attention to himself, and lightly shoving his Pokemon ahead of him. It was like crossing the street to avoid a ranting hobo. Be quick and don't make eye contact.

Finally out of earshot of the screaming Beldum, like he hadn't been exposed to enough shrieking today, Argyle would continue to make his way down across the floating debris belt. At least it was easier jumping down than up, like falling off a bike.....waaaait.....well he supposed that was technically easier than riding it.

A strange voice rasped out into the air. What might come as a surprise was that, unlike the other noises that Argyle had heard on the island, he'd be able to understand it. A small figure would drag itself out of the ground, hand over hand. It was a Ralts... a Ralts with a bloody stump where its head would be. >you did this why did you do this WHY< The body dragged itself closer and closer to the boy and his companions, leaving a dirty red trail behind it. Argyle may have had some explaining to do... or would he try to outrun the spectre?

Open seeing the Ralts, hearing it's words in his head, Argyle would slow. For a moment the boy's brow would furrow, a look of displeasure gracing his features. "Didn't we kill you?" He stated bluntly. This would be followed closely by a sigh as the boy pushed him his sleeves, wincing slightly when he did so for his left arm. "Well if you want something done right..." The boy began, taking a few quick steps forward and swinging one leg back. It seemed he was going to punt it!
Jekyll, doing his part as a good little starter-mon, would take up position a few feet behind the Ralts, holding his arms up like goal posts. It was time to see if Argyle should joined the Football team!
Sybelle for her part would merely watch from the sidelines. ">Mwehehehe. Looks like Team Rocket is blasting off agaaaaaain!<" She jeered.

Well, that certainly happened. Alice struggled her way out of bush, flailing ungainfully. At least there didn't seem to be any serious damage. "Vorpal?" she called out softly, not wishing to attract any more attention than they'd already gotten.
The Honedge waved his tassel in the air and made a low groan. He'd landed hard in the mud, shaft-first, and getting out wasn't easy. Vorpal felt like the world's worst Excalibur cosplayer. And he'd seen some of Lankford's "childhood photos".
She rushed over to pull him out. After a few failed attempts, she managed to get him free from the muck. It took a little while, but the pair finally shook free the mud from their bodies. With more trepidation than before, Alice continued through the bog.
Alice would soon find the end of the lilypaid trail, the bog giving way to lush green grass....which was also soaked. Water ran through it in massive quantities, draining into the bog....so this was where the fresh half of the brackish water came from...
Thundering Meadows
Thunder cracks, heralding your entrance into this place. Lighting flashes to show the way. Keep your eyes off the performance in the sky though, and look ahead. The grass grows taller here, wet from the near constant rain. One wrong step and you might find yourself falling on your backside, or straight into the nest of a none-too-happy-Pokemon. Keep your eyes sharp, watch your step, and remember... a rumble doesn't always mean thunder ahead.
The headless Ralts didn't react to the upcoming foot-- perhaps lacking in eyes, it couldn't see? A horrid groaning noise echoed from its neck It blinded crawled forward, coming to meet Argyle's foot and--!
The foot would go through. Argyle's foot would go right through the Ralts, and he'd begin to sail forward, coming far too close to the edge--
>AHAHAHAHA<
Argyle might not recognize this voice, but he would be able to recognize the perky Kirlia he'd met when he first entered the crater. She currently floated between Argyle and thin air, thin but surprisingly strong arms pressed against him to keep him from falling into the abyss. She flashed him a wicked grin before laughing again. >Not bad, not bad! I figured you for the wimpy type like my dumbass little brother from that dumb "just lie down" trick, but you got chutzpah, fluffy! Just went riiiiight through my illusion!< Her voice was still intelligible-- a quirk of high-level psychics? She'd push him back onto rock, snickering. >Thanks for killing him by the way, he was SUCH a little whiner.< She sighed wistfully. >I need a new little bro, though. AAAAAAAAAAAANYWAY, fluffy, have fun! And watch where you're going next time, huh? You can't kick you way through life!< With that, she'd ruffle his hair before suddenly disappearing.

Argyle would feel a wide spectrum of emotions in the following seconds. Confusion, concern, surprise, relief, disgust, and lastly rage. That last one was becoming a familiar sensation associated with the meeting of a Kirilia. The young butler would just stand their for a moment, teeth gritted, his hands held in the air like he was two seconds from strangling something.
When the feeling passed it would drop all at once, Argyle's hands relaxing as he reached up to fix the collar of his coat along with the ribbon around his neck. Smoothing his hair the child would then motion for his Pokemon to follow and continue forward.
Jekyll felt kinda gypped honestly.No field go, the half time show was too short, and where were his free peanuts!? This was a travesty! So much for front row seats!
Following behind the other two, Sybelle would give a sharp whistle ">Yellow Card. Too many players on the field!<"

Argyle could see it now, one of the advantages of being on the way down rather than up, the exit was just ahead. With any luck he'd manage to make it there without further incident.

Argyle would find himself at the end of a platform without another close rock to navigate his way across. Instead, he'd see a field of smaller, more scattered rocks. One large rock was at the other end of the field, and the ground close by. If he wanted to get down, he'd need to leap from small rock to small rock... and hopefully, he wouldn't fall.
With a rather flat look on his face Argyle would take in his surroundings. This was because he'd mentioned the words 'without further incident' wasn't it. He'd asked for this. He really had.
Shakinf his head Argyle would line himself up, taking a few steps back from the ledge before taking off at a run. From there he'd attempt to hop between rocks at speed like they did in martial arts movies. With any luck he'd succeed.
Jekyll would join him, but predictably the Croagunk would be quite literally leap frogging from one stone to the next.
Sybelle would just laugh and float by. She did not miss having legs at moments like these.

Alice shivered in the rain as she stepped up into the meadows. She was starting to get sick of the water everywhere. Hugging Vorpal to her chest (the grumpy sword attempted to keep her warm with his tassel), she pushed forward through the grass.
