Riley trudged up the mountain, his hands clutching his pack tightly. Every crack of thunder made him jump. Groaning, he headed back out from under a tree he had taken another refuge under, and pushed on. He couldn't return home if he didn't accomplish his task. He felt like he'd gone miles, and the trek up the hills only made it harder.
No. It was the pouting gods making it harder!
Grumbling, and then quickly apologizing for grumbling!, he pushed his way through a strand of trees. What was before him made his jaw drop. The land had been cleared, and he could see where other pokemon and poke-humans and even a few sympathetic regular humans were gathered. He quickly headed there, but stood quietly around the outer ring of those gathered, listening to talk of the shrine and how to rebuild it and of those on journeys to gather those pieces back together. How... terrifying! Ducking his head, his hair in his face, he pushed through and dropped the bag of supplies at the feet of those who seemed to be leading this group. There. He was done, right?!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kirsi whined softly. The tunnel seemed to be endless! It would get really narrow, nearly inducing claustrophobia, and it would suddenly open, and then squeeze tight again. After one particularly tight squeeze, she slipped into a space that she sensed was very wide. Blinking, she realized a faint light was above her! She swam up eagerly, and broke the surface to see.. she was still underground? An underground lake!
She gaped in awe, looking around at the bio-luminescent creatures that made the top of the cave glow. That was what she'd seen. How lovely! She cooed with appreciation, but it was time to continue on. She couldn't stay in such a place. The idea of having the ground above her head with all this shaking was scary! And, surely this one would empty as well soon? But.. now she was turned around. If she could find another tunnel, how would she know it wasn't the one she'd just come from?
Sighing, she dove back down and began searching for another exit.
It was a good thing Kirsi was leaving that cavern in search of another one, there was another round of shaking, some rocks dropping from the ceiling and splashing all around her before it all stopped. Though the shaking had the benefit of clearing away some rocks that had hidden the entrance to another tunnel that wouldn't have been seen before. Maybe Kirsi should explore this newly found passage and see if it will lead her out.

"Wait, Phee," Cecily exclaimed, eyes widening as she reached out to catch her friend by the arm, lower lip starting to jut out into a pout. "Can't I help somehow?" She frowned and tugged Phee's arm, gaze narrowing as she watched her for a reaction.
"I'm not a baby, or anything! Maybe I could help!" Then again, going to help might mean meeting new people - potentially scary people, and watching the house sounded less scary than dealing with strange people who might try to hurt her, or force her into doing things she didn't want to do...
"Do you really need me to watch the house?" She peered up at Llyr cautiously, trying to judge whether he would be good company for Phee or not. She didn't really think so, but... well. Phee would bring whoever she wanted to on this adventure.
---
Rory wasn't quite sure where she needed to go - the little Amaura knew the general location of the shrine, but not the exact one, and it would be a long trip for her to get to the right spot. Still, she was determined to do it, and she shouldered her little bag and continued marching on, keeping an eye out for whatever - or whoever - might turn up.
She should get to the shrine grounds soon, right?
It wasn't like it was that far...
---
Unlike Rory, who at least had some idea where she was going, Alistair had exactly none. In fact, it didn't even occur to him that he was supposed to have a destination in mind. The little Deino child was happily oblivious to such things as direction, caution, and most especially danger.
In his mind, he was going to find someone to put out the fire and make it so he and his mother could go home. He didn't want to leave their house - and neither did Teddi, who he gamely clutched close to him as he walked on.
Since he was following his nose, the only direction that Alistair was aware of was that he was going away from the fire that raged through the forest near his home. How? Because he made sure to keep his nose pointed away from the smoke. (Of course, this wasn't entirely correct, as all it meant was he was upwind of the fire, but he was lucky in that he was traveling more at an angle to the actual burn area rather than heading straight toward it.)
As he continued to walk along with no real idea which way he should go the peaceful Munna was starting to grow more and more restless. He was feeling anger growing welling up within him. He could see the distraction to and the remains of homes and so much of the land. He had even found the remains of some creatures who had not been lucky enough to get out of harms way when fires hit or the wind blew over trees. There was no possible reason to cause all this destruction. What possible reason could any creature have. "Oh I was sad" or "it was fun" or "Or some puny so and so wounded my pride" were not acceptable reasons. Nothing short or random accidental natural causes warranted this much damage. He looked up at the sky again trying to find traces of the legendaries he had seen. Even if he found out it really was one of them he was going to give them the biggest slap across the face. The sweet little Munna might even yell at them for this!
So lost in his growing anger Koujen passed my groups of other Poke-children also trying to figure out ways to stop this or help each other.
~~~~~
Mariette found that she was starting to run look on bandages. She knew that more than likely the stores were also running low on first-aid and water but it would not do to run out in such a time, so she told the Gao that she was going to head out to get some more supplies. She had not expected him to stop her though she could see a bit of concern in the glowing yellow eyes as he told her to be careful. She gathered up three baskets and her money pouch and headed out into the streets as a rather quick pace.
She had to keep her mind focused on the tasks at hand. She knew that all of their friends were safe and alright. A little bad weather and a few natural disasters should not harm them too bad. They were all so strong and smart. Her worry was impossible to see across her face though and because of the circumstances she was not wearing a shirt that exposed her back so as far as anyone looking at her as she walked by could tell she was completely unfazed by everything going on around her.
See could see the poke center coming up but it was so crowded maybe a human pharmacy or convent store would be her best bet.

"Giovanni sir, there's a group of people already on your land...and more coming. Though some reports say they look more like Pokemon, than people."
Giovanni listened to this bit of news, a curious expression on his face only briefly as his hand brushed over the head of the Persian beside him before he was suddenly yelling at one of his many hencmen. "GET THEM OFF MY LAND! Send some of the special teams out there to clear them out. This is my land, maybe Officer Jenny should be called so I can have them arrested for trespassing! Make sure the high fences are finished quickly, I want no delays on this project!"
"Y...yes sir!" the man ran out quickly a phone to his ear as he began to place calls, to deploy some of the various teams they had, as well as to get the crews moving on finishing the fences, and calling Officer Jenny.
He pressed a button and an intercom crackled to life at the construction zone that used to house the shrine.
"This is private property! You are all trespassing on a construction zone. You will vacate the premises or be removed, or arrested by Officer Jenny. I repeat, vacate the premises or face removal or arrest."
~
High over head there was a sudden flurry of activity, two of the kami trio showing themselves at once and launching an attack on the surrounding area, uncaring of anyone there. Though, Tornadus more than Thundurus seemed to be aiming more for the building being constructed, causing parts of it to start tumbling near those too close.
~
It might be best for everyone to retreat and group up some distance away from the Shrine, and not on "Giovanni's Land" to avoid issues with Officer Jenny, or Team Rocket goons.
A short distance away, anyone who leaves will find (on public land), a tent city that has sprung up, of people wanting to help in some way.
Of course, no one would know that the construction crews had upon demolishing the shrine...carted the pieces away and that they were no where near their former site.
Maybe someone can be bribed for information....or a conversation over heard.
Willemina felt vindicated in her choices when the results came in. She stood with hands in her pockets, running through scenarios while Bethanne's chastising filtered in like white noise. Because of her sister's antics and Shou's murmurings it was the Girafarig teen that saw the descending mewtwo first. This was a first. She had not yet seen a legendary that had changed, and at first she knew not what to say, even if she rarely spoke at all to begin with. "What news do you have?" Willemina asked of Havard.
Shousuke felt Bethanne reach for his hand the moment the child appeared and he resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Still, he gave a little tired smile and squeezed her hand. "We've come to try and do something, is what Will meant to say. The signal flare was to bring in others in the surrounding area to see if anyone had a plan. You wouldn't happen to have one, would you? Any intel or information to share? Other than the fact that, you know-" He waved his hand generally in the air to signal the big guys having it out.
Of course at that moment Tryce would have to show up. Shousuke would have given the world to his friend, but he always would have given the world not to have the roguish Umbreon in this mess. "Not me." He waved his finger around in a circle before pointing it to Will.
Bethanne moved from Shousuke to Raxka and Raiden instead, wrapping an arm around each of the twins to pull them into her embrace. "What am I doing out here? What are you doing out here?! Do you have any idea how unsafe it is? You aren't hurt are you?" Her eyes scanned over them, feet shifting from side to side with anxiety. She stilled automatically thanks to the lightning, and had to force herself to breath deep to calm herself.
Granted, that was followed by the statement she couldn't avoid. Her ears twitched to hear an intercom that was loud enough to hear over the thunder itself. "W-we should get moving, don't you think? If we're caught..."
"Move, now." Will started moving even before the words were out of her mouth. "We won't be able to get to the site directly. We have to find others."

Fluff was just about to give the girl another apology, when his ears picked up someone calling his name. He turned to look and smiled brightly when he saw Draven and Brenny. He turned completely to them and waved, he was glad to see other people he know.
"Draven! It is good to see you. Yes, I know Brenny. He is a friend of our's. Hiya Brenny! You brought cookies? Do you think they will like that? We were going to find out what is wrong too. Eilam said he thinks they are angry. I would like to go together,"Fluff explained to them.
Calanthia was watching the Sentret boy speaking and when the girl bent down, she listened carefully. Her eyes filled with happiness when she found out this was Switch, she hadn't recognized her at all. She was happy for her friend that the other had been able to change, she figured this would make things easier with communicating with others. She saw her hesitation and she gave her a reassuring smile.
'I am so happy for you, Switch. I do remember you, the change was very nice for you. I can only imagine it makes communicating with humans a lot easier now. And you don't have to go, you can come with us. If you are worried about everyone, we can walk behind them,'Callie assured gently.
Lightning was just listening to everyone, her Pikachu tail going back and forth as she did so. She really didn't know any of them, so she let the others do all of the talking.
The ground starts to rumble ominously beneath the group and a nearby tree begins to sway precariously before crashing loudly to the ground far enough away to not be a danger, but too close to be comfortable!

"Good to see you too," Draven said, brightly. "I've missed you!" He paused, upon hearing that his two friends were also friends. Excellent! "Couldn't Eilam calm them down?" He asked, blinking. Wasn't Eilam an arceus? That made him the god of all Pokemon, didn't it? That was what Rhiyn had told him. And if an arceus would create the world--surelly one could stop whatever was causing this?
Brenny's expression had gone dark; but he wasn't looking at Fluff. He was studying his surroundings. Broken branches, fallen trees... He felf as if some part of him had been snapped. He was the guardian of the forest: he was meant to protect it! From things like this. He glanced at Fluff. "Everyone likes cookies," he said. Whoever had caused this destruction would pay. Pay what, the celebi boy wasn't sure. An inexplicable anger had started brewing within him: his forest had been hurt! "Where is Eilam?" He asked Fluff, recovering his smile. "And who's your friend?" He glanced pointedly at Lightning.
He rewarded Fei with a smile, wrapping one arm around the other boy. "Course I remember you!" He said. As if he'd forget a friend! "I'm glad you're okay, Fei I was worried, with all the storms. Want to come with us? Do you know Fluff?? Oooh, and Draven! I'm sure you'll make friends!"
~~~
Arrested? Yes, it was time to leave! Theo had taken several steps backwards, before stumbling over a tree root and falling onto his but tom. He rubbed it, wincing as he stood up. Arrested? Removed? What was this? He glanced up at the stormy sly. He sighed.
"Honestly..." he said, shaking his head. "Could you calm down? Quit it! We're all Pokemon here. You're destroying our homes." He hated to think that worse might have happened to others.. There would be injuries, he was sure of it. Deaths, if they didn't stop it!
As Theo trips over the log and he looks around his eyes will be caught by something glinting in the log. Have him investigate this, and find a potion bottle that looks like it got wedged in the log some how. In the main thread RNG a 1-3, then look at the first post of the meta, and RNG the correct number under that section to determine what potion is located.

Ialu gave a smile to the Shiny Glaceon, as well as a nod of his head, "Try to be more careful from here on out, mud isn't the only thing that there is worry about out here, Loki." He said, not even really thinking about the fact that he had used his name. He knew him, he knew all of his 'children' to a degree, so calling him by name was only natural. He watched as he rushed off toward the ohters in his group, a Moltres and a Reshiram, and he gave a bit of a smile. He was glad to see his fellow Legendaries well... though perhaps not completely well? The little Reshiram boy was looking a bit rough, wasn't he? Coughing up a storm in fact. He glanced in the direction that he'd been heading, then up to the sky when there was a crash of thunder, then back to the gathered group. He couldn't stay, that he knew. Meaning he would have to help in a different manner.
Lifting a hand up he made a motion through the air, gathering his power to use the move Wish, sending it the way of Reshi, "I hope this is enough to aid you, Reshi." He murmured before he turned to head in the direction that he'd been going before he'd gone on a detour to fish the Shiny Glaceon out of the mud. The healing move would aid the Reshiram in a short amount of time, enough time that he would probably be long gone. He didn't want to gather too much attention to himself, just in case there were those about that didn't exactly appreciate his gifts or those who might want to try to steal the power for themselves.
Serph always told him that he needed to be more careful with how often he was seen but he couldn't very well sit back and do nothing while the world around him was shaken to its very core now could he? No, he had to do what he could, where he could, and if detours were needed along the way so be it. He couldn't very well leave everyone alone with, not when it was easy enough to give a bit of aid here and there as he progressed.
***** Nidhogg was glad to see that he was able to find his brother. Coming to a halt in front of him, one hand lifting to smother a yawn, "Hm? Festivities? I guess if you could call it that. It is kind of nice to see the humans running about in such a manner." It stopped them from trying to catch Pokemon for a while at least. There was nothing worse then getting those accursed Pokeballs thrown at one's head, it was worse even when you were immune to their powers like he was now. Now, when they were thrown at him, it resulted in nothing but a headache for getting pelted in the head by a metal ball. Most certainly not how Nidhogg wanted to spend his day.
Looking around he said, "So, is this one of your plans? Or something else?" He asked, not sure if his brother would go about calling one of hose own plans boring. Maybe it was something else? Someone else? It wasn't anything he cared about but if Jorm was involved in any manner then he would follow along after him and see what was what. At his brother's next question, despite it being a teasing one, he gave a bit of a nod, "Yeah, a combination of their squalling and the weather below my favorite sleeping spot being a lot louder then normal. It was like some Electric Type or another was having a tantrum. Impossible to get good sleep when stuff insists on crashing about." And he'd been having such a nice dream too! One where he'd invented a metal ball that he could catch humans in! Such a shame the dream ended before he got to use the item.
***** Giddy looked up at the one that wasn't really paying him any mind, in fact the shiny Zorua seemed to be ignoring him. His attention then went up, up, up to the sky above, watching as... something went about, laughing? The end of it tail twitched a bit when he saw a bit of wind start to kick up in front of the Zorua making him wonder if the guy had angered someone along the way? Not good. Best that he move on though should be warn the guy off? He didn't want to interfere with a Pokemon Battle, that was just rude, but surely the guy didn't want to fight a Legendary, did he? He supposed it depended on the level and the move set of the Zorua, huh?
Shrugging best that a snake could the Seviper slithered quickly toward the tall grass, ducking into it before peeking out and called, "I'd be careful battling that one, he smells tough!" It didn't look as though the Legendary was sticking around, in fact he even seemed to be moving off on his way, but still, Giddy felt zero desire to battle him and as such duck back into the tall grass the rest of the way. He'd continue his travels in the safety of the grass, hoping that even with his bright colors that he might not draw the attention of the rampaging trio of grumpy old Legendaries. If the Zorua wanted to follow him into the safety of the grass he could, if not he wished him all the luck in the world.
Gideon nearly slithers head first into a potion sticking up from some mud! Please RNG 1-3 to determine the rarity, then using the Potions list on the first post, RNG the proper number for the rarity, to determine what was nearly crashed into

With her attention almost completely on Calanthia, the farfetch'd girl was very pleased to see her demeanor change from simply attentive, so very like the maractus she fondly remembered, to one of recognition. "I'm glad," she said, grateful that she still had a friend in her.
The maractus was right about her tentativeness with the others. She had gotten used to people, human and poke-people alike, but it did get under her feathers a bit. She was still a wild pokémon, no matter how used to urban situations she had become. Her smile came on abruptly, in a rush. Something about Callie's offer was a huge relief. "I might stick around for a little while. But," she glanced around with an unconscious shiver, "I can't stay long. I have to be somewhere." I just wish I knew where that was, she thought with a sigh. And I wish we had more time to catch up. I wish I could tell her more!
Standing off to the side was another girl. She had remained quiet so far. "Who's that?" she asked, casually looking at Lightning. "She seems... uncomfortable too." At least, she seemed not to know the other newcomers.
Already kneeling as she was, it was easy enough to go down on her hands and knees as the ground began to quake. Really? This is the second time I've fallen in the dirt, she thought with fear-tinged frustration. Add to those stains the soot and dirt from before and she must look like a complete mess.
"What's going on?" she asked with a shaky voice and a frown as she quickly glanced around them. Overhead, the trees swayed dangerously. She jumped in terror when she heard a tree trunk pop and in slow motion the large tree came creaking its way down to land with a loud crash of splintering wood. No one had been in its direct path, but that did not keep her from keeping an eye out for any more danger. She looked first to Lightning and Calanthia to make sure they were safe, before the others: Fei, Fluff, Draven and Brenny. "Is everyone all right?"
- - -
"'What news do I have?'" Havard repeated with mild surprise to the complete lack of any sort of introduction or greeting. It would appear that this was one of the most direct people he had ever met, along with the certain someone he was looking for. Behind his mask, the mewtwo child felt a flicker of a smile. "I can honestly say that even legendary pokémon are... troubled by the situation."
"It would seem that your plan was effective." Havard's eyes narrowed as another group raced at them through the trees; they all appeared to be adults, or teenagers at least. None of them had the smell of ancient dirt and campfires about them, or anything else that came to mind when he thought of archaeology, for that matter. So, Hazan would not be among them, either.
This realization may have been enough to send him on his way had this group not been so interesting. He watched the reunion between these strangers. Any newcomer, including himself, could have been a danger to the original trio, but they were all acquainted. Not one of them was pokémon or human. Two of them were abnormally colored, shiny. So many in one place. Is this some kind of coincidence? Or, was there some intention in gathering them here? None of the curiosity that raged through his mind showed in his eyes, the only visible feature of his face, nor his stance.
One of the newcomers addressed him with a question. He was easily twice Havard's size and he carried a weapon. Perhaps he had guessed that the child before him was dangerous. "I am looking for someone," he replied, ignoring the lightning overhead: the air was already charged as if dancing across his skin and he had not caused it. It was actually rather exhilarating.
Perhaps the lightning had not phased him, but the voice over the intercom grabbed his attention instantly. Were they really so close to their destination? His eyes danced around as he scanned the trees overhead, trying to pinpoint the source of the echoing voice overhead. He surmised that they may have posted speakers quite some distance away from the compound to prevent would-be trespassers.
In the back of his mind, he noted how the one who had addressed him first, Will, was urging them forward, despite her friend's unwillingness to continue. "Whatever you decide to do, stay hidden," he suggested. "They may have seen the flare as well and will trace it back to this place." With that said, he proceeded to go against his own advice by rising back into the air. He could see nothing from the ground, but he could hear distant rumbling that was not from the weather. "Is he attacked?" he muttered to himself, trying without success to see if the kami trio had indeed engaged Giovanni.
- - -
Hazan peeked out from under the thick curtain of leaves and beheld Giovanni’s claimed land. For all the man’s efforts (or rather, the money that paid for the labor), the expanse before Hazan was now barren from clearcut and construction. Mist languished about eerily, fueled by a profusion of muck and puddles. Without living plants to protect it, the early stages of erosion and decay had already begun. What sort of plants and animals would he have seen just a month earlier? Where had the animals gone, were they carried away by the destruction caused by man? He could feel the leaf upon his head drooping a little, despite that charge of energy he had gained from the sun earlier. This side of reality had choked him into silence.
But his dismay was short-lived. A large group of protesters had gathered around the perimeter. Beyond them, a tall fence was being erected to keep them out. Some of those protesters were people he knew as part of his team, others he recognized as newcomers with a more radical point of view, and still more were completely new to him. Regardless of who they were, most of the crowd seemed angry or excited. He wondered that if the main body of archaeologists, peaceful scholars all, joined this group would they organize a better protest? Wouldn’t larger numbers be a better way of getting their point across?
Curiosity got the better of the shiny chikorita boy and he snuck his way over to the back of the group. He wanted to hear for himself the murmurs and grumbling and the periodic shouts. What were they saying? He smoothly slipped into the midst of the crowd.
Suddenly, a crackling voice belted out over the intercom, causing Hazan to jump and cover his ears. Frightened, he looked for a familiar face. What was he supposed to do? They weren't here to get in trouble! From higher still came the whipping winds and the booming of thunder. He could not see what was happening, only that the surge of anger and snide calls were breaking up with uncertainty and fear. Large feet trampled his small boots, elbows and hands struck him in the head and arms. Blindly, Hazan tried to free himself of the crowd, but he found himself moving with it.
Finally, he was ejected from the mob and stumbled out of the way, where another boy stood with a bag of some sort sitting at his feet. "What happened?" he asked Riley, though any answer from anyone would do.
He could hear people asking the same or even blaming Giovanni for this mess. A surge of anger pushed part of the mob up against the fence even as two gods appeared in the sky and began to destroy Giovanni's half-built structure. It was as if with that one goal in mind, they had joined forces, except the pokémon were not considering the safety of their allies. "Stop! You'll hurt everybody, even your friends!" To Hazan, his own plaintive cry seemed detached from him.

Sadly, I'm just making this up as I go! But if you want to coordinate something we can totally do that! Likewise if you both have a plan I don't want to interfere so let me know.

Llyr hadn't missed the dubious look thrown his way but he wasn't about to ask what the look was for. He didn't want to chance ticking either of these two legendaries! Instead he tried to give Cecily a reassuring smile.
For her part, Ylerian couldn't help but grin slightly. So the girl wanted to go with, and leave the house empty? Yes, this would work nicely. She could relieve it of some items and continue on her way. They would be an interesting trio to follow that was for sure.
Phee studied Cecily a long moment, trying to weigh the pros and cons of bringing her and leaving her, and finally she gave her a smile. "Okay you can come with me. You're right maybe you can help somehow. I can't see the future to know for sure, but your company would be welcome."
Straightening up Phee held a hand out to Cecily. "Lets you and I go inside real quick and pack some things for this trip for us, then we'll all go. Though if you have anything back in your knothole you want to bring, you should run and get it while I start packing. We need to go quick."
The sense of urgency was strong, and it left a very uneasy feeling in her stomach.
Llyr waited outside while Phee stepped inside and did begin to pack either with or without Cecily's help though she had enough in her pack for both her and the Celebi girl, and it was heavy though she ignored it.
Coming outside she adjusted her pack and stared off into the distance, and suddenly nodded. "We need to go that way. I don't know why, but it feels like the right way to go. You two ready?" she looked to her companions then with a smile.
Ylerian perked up, ready to spring into action the moment the backs of the trio faded from sight. Some more food, and other things, perhaps a shower...those would all be welcome things and their trail would be easy for her to pick up. Too easy.

We'll get met up with yours and Mew's group soooon! *lol* Either Red's post or my next, I imagine.
“This…” Myrrh began as she scanned the document, “Actually looks like it might be the correct document…. Wow! Good job Daisy.” It was a multi-page document about the sale of a large bit of land, which seemed in the right area, to a man named Giovanni. Why does Giovanni sound familiar? As she looked though, the signature didn’t match. It wasn’t Giovanni’s signature or the notaries; it was the previous owner’s. There were several signatures, all identical, but then the one for the sale of the land, it was definitely different. “Something here….seems off….” After a moment, she turned o Margarita and stated, “Well, looks like a change of plans. I’m not going to steal something that was already stolen! Where is the fun in that? And, don’t want my crimes rounded up with his, like in those gangster movies.” Then it hit her, she knew why that name had sounded familiar. She had seen his mansion!
Pulling out ‘her’ phone, she snapped a few pictures of the forged document, including the signatures, and of the notaries seal and signature. Looks like someone is in Giovanni’s pocket. Turning to Margarita, she asked, “Ready to go rob a mansion?” Before Margarita had a chance to answer, she opened the window and jumped out, grabbing onto the rope that was ready for their escape. Within moments, she was on the ground and ready for their next target. You know, this is perfect weather for a power outage… With a grin, she patted the pocket chainsaw which was obviously kept in her pocket.
*************
“Yeah.. it definitely looks like there was a fire here…” Terra replied, as she turned the burnt piece in her hands. Smiling at her new friend, she added, “If it gets too big, well we will just have to cut it down to size, then.” The urge to get to the bottom of the situation was strong; they had to find answers. She had to know the truth. In her determination, she gained confidence to see it through; she didn’t doubt herself at all, even if she was growing unrealistic in her abilities. If a fire did happen upon them, what did she expect to do? Fight fire with fire?
“Yeah, if it is them, which seems possible, I have no idea why they would be doing this? Maybe someone, like Team Rocket, had disturbed them? Have you heard of Team Rocket? They are never up to any good,” Terra stated, matter of factly. She had never had a run in with a member of Team Rocket, but she had heard the rumors, mostly from city pokemon that had wandered onto her beach. Personally, she hoped she never would have a run in with them.
Terra was shaken out of her thoughts as Calcifer bounded off. “Yeah, I think that would be one…” she stated, despite it being obvious at this point, as she chased after Calcifer. “Yeah, maybe we can stop it….” She wasn’t really quite sure how she could, but that wasn’t going to stop her from trying.
****************
“Yeah…nothing looks familiar around here…” Holly was at a loss. Should they just start walking? Or would that just make things worst… Could they get even more lost then they were now? They seemed pretty lost, as lost as Holly could remember getting. She didn’t like it. Not with this crazy weather. If only someone would come along and find them, someone that knew where they were.
“Yeah, I know one water move…”Holly replied with a gulp, “Well, two….though one of those is Water Sport….Though that might help, if we get close to the fire….Which doesn’t seem like a good idea.” Thinking for a moment, she added, “Um, what sort of moves do you know? And, well, since we don’t know where we are…we should try and head somewhere that looks safe?”
As Escher greeted her, Holly’s eyed suddenly widened. Normally, she was quite friendly but, with everything that had been happening, she was a tad on edge. “Uh, hello,” Holly called out as she turned to look at the newcomer. “Oh, you’re pokekids too!” She was more than a bit relieved. “I’m Holly! I’m a piplup! And well, uh, I didn’t see any bridges or anything. I just washed up when it flooded….” Thinking for a moment, she added, “Are you a strong swimmer? The current doesn’t seem as bad as it was..”

Loki gave a nod in reply to Ialu, and smiled gratefully when he used Wish upon Reshi.
"Thank you so much, hopefully Reshi will be better soon." He replied, moving to remove some of the mud that was caked onto his boots. However, as he moved, the thundering reply to Reshi caused him to squeak and cover down to the ground. "Bellatrix! We need to find lower ground, and fast!"
---
Bellatrix sighed in relief as Ialu used Wish on Reshi and moved to give the other legendary a quick hug. "Thank you, Ialu. I don't know what I would've done if he passed out." She said, before turning towards where Reshi was, only to find him missing. "...Where did he go!?"
---
Reshi, as soon as he was healed by Wish, had floated towards the sky, intent on conversing with whatever was causing the storm.
"Listen, we can help, you just need to calm down!" He cried. "If you don't calm down, you'll destroy everything around you and then no one will want to have anything to do with you!"
He stared up towards the sky, his eyes seemingly pleading to whatever was up there, and coughed out yet another blast of fire.
"Ugggh, this is the worst time for me to find out that I can use Flamethrower..." He grumbled.

Fei nearly hopped in happiness when Brenny confirmed that he remembered the meowstic. He smiled wide even as he shook his head in denial. "We've...never met." He nodded in greeting to Fluff and Draven in turn when Brenny mentioned their names. "I'd like to find out what's going on too, if no one minds. My clearing got ruined." He fell silent for a second, long enough to hear a pop. When he chanced a glace to the side he saw it. A tree coming down in their direction and fast! He let out a frightened screech and hopped back in alarm. It fell nowhere near where he'd been standing, and he found his face suddenly red in embarrassment at his reaction. When the farfetch'd girl asked about his health he nodded. "I'm alright. That was...loud." He checked around him to make sure the others were alright. He tried to hide the shaking in his hands as the world around him seemed to be growing more confusing and frightening by the minute. "Wha...what in the world is going on?" Fires, floods, earthquakes and now killer trees. Either the world was ending or someone had ticked off some very powerful pokemon. He moved closer to Brenny again, flopping down on a nearby rock.
As Fei sits on the rock, something behind it might just catch his attention! Hidden in a pile of leaves is a potion bottle! In the main shop thread please RNG 1-3 to determine which rarity of potion, then using the list in the first post, RNG to determine which potion was found. Be sure to mention the potion finding in your next post.

"Woah, really?" the grimer-girl asked, not actually thinking she'd manage to be that helpful. Not like she was going to complain about it, though! She pulled it back to get a better look at the documentation, setting it on top of the opened file drawer in order to determine what exactly it was they had been after this whole time. Well, she saw... a lot of political mumbo-jumbo... and very official-looking... It was kind of boring, actually, and it didn't really answer her question, but at least it made her accomplice happy.
Margarita didn't really know what Myrrh was explaining, but she figured it would come to light soon enough. After all, they weren't really stealing anything at the moment, but hey, it was good practice for stealth regardless. It didn't really matter at the moment anyway, but then again, Margarita was pretty good at flying by the seat of her pants, so who really needed an explanation as long as they reached the partially-understood goal? Her attention had already been detracted by the phone-camera by this point anyway, trying to get a better look at the device. It was very colorful.
As Myrrh moved to the window, Margarita packed the folder back up, sliding it under her arm for a tighter hold as she shifted its previous hiding place closed. The drawer shut a little louder than she meant to, but there was no security left on the second floor once the one guard had reported the area clear. She leaned herself dangerously far out the window once Myrrh started her descent, hand clasping the folder down as she scanned the vicinity while she still had opportunity to. "The mansion pretty far?" Margarita asked, eager for the mischief, "Think the storm is gonna try to attack again? Think we can dodge it if it does?" It was apparent that she thought of the whole escapade more like a game, for consequences of actually getting struck didn't seem to enter her head, but one couldn't say she wasn't driven. In the long run, the answers didn't matter, for her imagination could always fill in the blanks if the trip proved uneventful. With a giggle, she bit down on the top part of the folder, keeping its contents together as she followed Myrrh's lead out the makeshift fire escape.

Naturally, Calcifer was a rather nervous entity despite the brave face she tried to put on when interacting with the world around her. As strong an individual as anyone ever thought of her, she was convinced that Terra had a bit more fight when it came to courage than the hybrid had herself. Regardless of any admittance to such a thing, Calci could certainly acknowledge the fact that it was easier to hold onto such valor when you knew someone had your back. She might have been a bit frightened, but she wasn't alone, and that made it seem like a lesser looming problem. The grin came easily enough; sure, they could do something about it!
As the slugma-girl moved toward the dark smoke -- a sure sign that something was actually burning -- she mulled over her knowledge of Team Rocket, as per suggestion. There was no first-hand knowledge in her head, but for Calcifer, that wasn't considerably unusual; most experiences tended to be from various forms of text. "Team Rocket... aren't they just some thugs that like to try to steal pokémon as if they were possessions?" she asked, her body still pushing past what little foliage was left standing after the temperamental weather, "I don't know... could be any sort of organized crime. If this is the legendaries fighting about something, I suppose that could happen. They didn't sound like too big of a threat, though!" Especially enough to enrage a legendary so bad they'd be throwing a temper tantrum so long, like a spoiled child.
Her pace slowed, but it was not with extensive haste. They were far enough away from the fire once she came to a complete stop to see the damage it had already caused and still not have to worry about moving anytime soon. Calcifer frowned, but deliberation took a matter of seconds before she resorted to using the only move she knew would help. That is, if it hit... which it most certainly did not. "Ahh... crud," she sighed, tilting her head as the rush from Muddy Water decided to roll along the side of the fire before touching any of the flames. With a frown, she shook her head, walking a little closer, "No, maybe that can work. To contain it, that is; keep it from spreading."

Cardice ducked his head back under Holly's hat, paneled frills pulled back and nose poking out to the fresh air, dismayed and trying to hide from the bad luck, <<Well... that's better than n-nothing.>> They weren't completely helpless out here, at least. They were prepared, even if Water Sport didn't end up being useful in the end; it sounded like it could prove to be a good one to him, though! Pulling the hat up as though lifting a trap door, Cardice considered his weak move pool, <<I don't know... I th-think about the only one that's going to be of any use is-->>
With a silent yelp, the helioptile's clawed digits slipped and dropped the soggy hat back over his vision as a voice he didn't recognize came to attention. He remained stiff, a regular deer caught in the headlights, until Holly broke the awkward silence that followed. Well they seemed nice enough, and weren't trying to grab him if he just stayed up here for now, so that was a plus.
Gathering up the nerve, he poked his head back out and studied the river. <<Oh! Here, let me!>> he chirped, a sudden idea hatching, branched off from the previous conversation. Conjuring up the ability, he shot his ice-type Hidden Power directly at the current before them in the hopes of freezing a bridge across for Escher and Venka to use. It worked... for all of about three seconds before snapping off into miniature glaciers and being swept downstream. Seemed the current was still a liiiittle too strong to try something like that. Stupid physics. With a sigh, he sank back down, <<I'm not... very strong with it, though.>>
As he watched the ice blocks take their joy ride, his attention caught on a ray of light, glinting off of some strange material in the grass. Oooh... a shiny thing! Without further word on the matter, he quickly climbed down in order to scope it out, unintentionally carrying Holly's hat with him as he scampered through the wet grass. Yanking the potion bottle out of its hiding spot, he noted that it was made of glass. That was about all he was able to decipher, the material within remaining unknown. The point of the matter was that it was shiny, and weird... and his now!

Aybliss jumped as the winds picked up, his ears and tail flattened close against his body and the male paled. Oh man...they heard?!? Wait wait! Winds...winds...OH CRAP THAT'S TORNADUS!!!!!!!!!! The youth let out a high pitched yip when he heard the other voice...wait...who the heck was that?!? He looked back then glanced up, "All right, all right!!! Your not old!"
That was why the legendary was mad right? Aybliss called him old...the youth glanced back up before speaking, "But your not newly hatched either! SEE YA!!!" he then scurried his shiny tail as deep into the grass as he could. Running headlong into the male who had warned him....
"OW! Oh....sorry..." he balked a little.
