Era blinked in mild surprise at the Riolu’s slight hesitation. He looked a bit nervous, as though it might be a bad thing to work together. In another moment though, he’d nodded and took on a look of resolve as though he’d decided something and then, in an instant, he was off after Riley and Ethfael. The Pikachu watched him go with a slightly puzzled look on her face. His voice had sounded…a little strange; certainly not suited to his small form. She shrugged the thought off quickly though, noting with interest that a Swampbert-no, not just any Swampbert, Kaiyou-had doused the Wigglytuff in water. A smile played at her lips as she took advantage of the situation, sparks quickly flying to her cheeks and a Thunder attack arcing through the air to join the other Electric attacks that danced about the Normal Types. There were so many already, but it never hurt to add just one more.
As she let the lightning fade, Ethfael and Riley had circled back nearby to avoid the electricity that was all over their remaining foes and shrinking them at a rapid pace. As their Riolu ally sprang back, Era noted with concern that he didn’t look very well. ”Are you alright?” she asked with a hint of worry, reaching out a paw to help steady him. A slight smile flickered across her face at his remark before she backed up a bit to give him space as he retched, politely averting her eyes. ”Yeah, they are,” she replied, gently patting him on the back with an apologetic smile.
Ethfael and Riley had, by this time, noticed the new addition to their group, and both looked at him with interest. ”Hey, who’s this Era?” Riley asked her, giving the Riolu an interested look. ”Is he okay?” They had a moment to recollect themselves now that the Wigglytuff had been sufficiently dealt with.
Era opened her mouth to answer that she didn’t know her companion’s name, but before she could even form the words on her lips, the voice from before rang out through the area again. The Pikachu’s ears twitched and she looked up into the sky, again trying to find its source. The voice was comforting, reassuring, and it had helped them last time so she listened to it closely as she looked intently at the doors that suddenly appeared and the attentive look that she had had as she listened remained on her face. The other two turned their gaze on her for a decision, and she thought long and hard before at last making up her mind. "The voice wants us to prove ourselves," she said somewhat pensively, "And so we should face whatever challenge we believe we're most capable of facing. That door on the right...You can't hardly see what's behind it, whereas the one on the left it's only slightly strange. I think we should follow the one with the most chaos. Whatever's there I think we can handle it." Ethfael dipped his head in agreement and Riley nodded with a look of eager anticipation. When Era was ready to lead on, they would follow. However the Pikachu had one more comment. Looking over at the Riolu who still stood beside her, she paused. "You're welcome to join us if you'd like," the Electric Type said with a welcoming smile, "There's safety in numbers after all. But if you'd prefer to go alone we'd understand."((Interacting with Luna))

   Akuxx Jack xx Stormy
Team Semper Fi regrouped as the explosion of pink ensued, safely encased in a force field. As the doors appeared, Aku led the way. Her teammates followed closely behind, but it didn't take long before Jack figured out she was heading towards the most distorted door, proudly and bravely. She was basically marching. Jack grabbed her paw and spun her back towards him.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"Through that door."
"Why through that one? We didn't even talk about it."
Come on.
Stormy disappeared through the middle door, and Aku broke free of Jack's grip and skipped off to the middle door,
"Compromises!"
Jack was left behind, jaw dropped and ears drooped. He didn't feel like any compromises were met at all. His jaw quickly snapped shut however, as Aku became distorted enough that he was losing sight of her. He scurried forward to catch up, needing to keep her safe. He'd get Stormy back somehow.   Soleilxx Shizou
Soleil's tail flicked impatiently, the explosion was not satisfactory enough! Not that she could do a thing about it. And she looked ridiculous enough as it is, at least the explosion was encased. She turned towards to Shizou to complain, when she caught sight of the doors. She began quickly walking towards the most distorted door, all too curious about what was behind it, when Shizou slithered underneath her, making her trip and fall backwarks, and landing on Shizou's back.
"I wouldn't say we're quite strong enough to go through that door just yet, Soleil."
Unlike Team Semper Fi before them, they went through the first door. Soleil gave a very annoyed huff.

 ~Raven ~Locke
"Hush up! It's not funny!"
Locke snapped, his already pink face furthering into deeper shapes of red in both anger and embarrassment as Kai got a laugh at his expense. The damn doors that had just appeared out of nowhere and the fact that many others were discolored just as he was were of little concern to the Ralts in this moment. Why did this have to happen to him?
"So, uhm, what's the game plan from here?"
Raven was ever so slightly more attentive to his surroundings in comparison to the Swampert before him. The lot of those around them seemed to be moving on to destinations unknown. Normally he wouldn't view the purple Pokemon before him as a superior, an equal if anything in most cases, but considering the fact that he had absolutely no opinion of his own in this moment, it was natural for him to look to Kai for guidance.

( Red & Blue & Purple & Jay & Vertigo & Joy )As the doors formed, the team (now all together in one spot) looked at them with interest. Blue, who usually helped make the decisions, pointed towards the least distorted door. "That one looks safer, we should go in there." Everyone seemed to agree with her but...
"ADVENTUUURE~" Red screamed out, running into the most distorted door. "Red!" her image was already becoming warped, if they didn't go in after her now, they'd lose her...Blue put Vertigo on the ground, "Stay here" she said, rushing into the door. The Scraggy ignored her words and grabbed onto her tail feathers, going into the door with her.
That left Jay, Joy, and Purple. It didn't seem like any of them had interest in going except for Joy. The Audino picked the two up, "Ah think we should all stick together, I an't goin; in if you ain't" he rain into the door with the two of them in arms, leaving no one of the team behind.  :: ::  ::  ::  ::  ✗ Basilisk :: Ren :: Jonah :: Louvell :: Senka :: Ash ✗[[ will edit these guys in when I have a clue ]]

xxxxxxxxx s e a m u s xx&&xx w r e x xxxxx♣xxxxxxxxx xxxxx xxxx Eventually the wigglytuff were all reduced to normal size. But portals appeared, each more distorted than the one before it. Each team in the guild went through the doors, the strongest teams would presumably be going to the most distorted door, the weakest ones to the least distorted door.
"Welp, looks like we're going into this one, Wrex." Seamus stated, heading over to the least distorted door. However, like always, the charmander was not one to follow directions and went strolling into the door in the middle, which looked rather intimidating to a small bulbasaur. Wrex's image was already disappearing, and if Seamus was going to go with him it had to be now. He ran up to the door and followed his teammate in.

You all suck
UM
I MEAN
A lot of people have had some time restraints and I'm not comfortable continuing the chapter while this many people are still working on their missions. To that end, I'm extending it.
for, uh, a while.
Let's say tuesday.
Yeah, tuesday sounds alright.
I'd rather not have to extend it again.

  Kaiyou & CelesteKai glanced apologetically at Locke, dipping his head slightly. "Sorry, Locke. I'm purple every day, if that makes you feel better." The Swampert's faint smirk might have suggested dry humor, but he was quite sincere in his apology. He'd been rather caught off-guard, seeing both father and son caught in a tangle of pink powder.
Glancing back at the portals, he watched as the last of the groups began to disappear through the gap. "C'mon, we don't want to be late. Let's get going." He added softly, darting toward the portals to avoid their closing before they reached them.
He could hear a few other Pokemon just behind him, one of them a nasty-looking Chimchar with pink fur. She seemed different, somehow, from the other children in the guild. He got the feeling that she was older than she looked, and certainly a lot less pleasant (she didn't look much in this way, so it really was saying something). It seemed like she'd been hit with pink powder, because the hues of pink in her fur were a little... gross-looking, he had to admit. It just looked wrong, and she was clearly displeased about it, from the looks of her scowl and diminished tail flame.
Locke and Raven weren't far behind, though they seemed to be doing their best not to be seen together. It just made sense, somehow. Neither one of the pair seemed to ever get along with the other, for whatever reason. It just went from bad to worse, when Azra wasn't acting as a buffer between them. That Riolu would get a kick out of her family turned pink, for sure.
He paused momentarily, choosing his path out of the three portals. The one in the middle was pretty average-looking. He'd have taken the most difficult, if it were him alone, but Raven and Locke were with him. Raven wouldn't want his kid going through that mess, capable or not, and he didn't want to deal with the angry father later on. On top of that, Raven himself wasn't always the most focused in battle, when his family was involved. He was too protective to be concerned about his own safety. No, the central portal would have to do.
The distorted fluid swirled around him, twisting into a vibrant variety of violets, and absorbing his form without question as he led his team through to the other side.
{{ Erm, don't really have time to write stuff for Kai or Celeste. So they'll just be there off screen. xD Doing stuff. }}

Solaris
Silently, a rose-tinted mirror opened up in the air. It hovered steadily just a few feet above the ground, perfectly in place until it completed it's purpose and disappeared into thin air.
It's purpose was, of course, to eject Solaris. The Espeon came tumbling free, his breathing haggard and his fur splotched with blood. Thankfully enough none of it was his own and aside from seeming scared witless and exhausted, Solaris was completely and totally unharmed.
He was pretty sure Cresselia hadn't intended for him to kill everything inside of there, but when you were confronted by an army of Wigglytuff there clearly wasn't any other solution.
All the same he was glad to be free and as the Espeon took slow, deep, cleansing breaths he glanced around to find that he was exactly where he had been before he went through the door with a singular exception; he was the only one there. They would probably be through soon, right?

  Harumi - Aiden
A rocky doorway rose from the ground, a bright light signifying a portal of some kind within it.
Four Pokemon then quickly emerged from within the doorway.
The first was Aiden, carrying Isis and Harumi on his back.
As he ran from the doorway, seemingly for his life, his stumbled and rolled forward.
Harumi let out a squeal as she was thrown from the Umbreon's back.
Aiden remained on the ground where he had tripped, panting.
"Ugh... Cresselia... is such... a b***h..." The Umbreon muttered between his breaths.
Harumi moaned a bit as she sat up on her haunches.
"Hey... a-at least we're alive..."
The Eevee struggled to her feet, looking around for Isis and Eros.

Isis grunted as she slammed onto the ground after falling off of Aiden's back, "...Erk.." Oh great now her face hurt like hell! Wait though...
Looking around she noticed they were back outside, no snowy hellhole, no bottomless pits and no forests, "WE MADE IT! YES!"
She then noticed Eros looking quite scandalized, "...Eros?"
Eros just blushed and looked ahead, "O-oh! It's go-good that we all..umm..made it...yeah!" He then noticed Aiden and Harumi and still blushing and looking very nervous just waved at them...well at least it looked like a wave, "Good to see all of us made it~"
Isis just sighed, "...So we are back to where we were?" She asked Harumi.
Anubis grinned, finally they were all back, "Took you guys long enough." The Riolu said with a snicker. Glad he was back from...wherever he had vanished too. It was weird, like some force had just wiped him out because they forgot he existed. (( Anubis is back~ ))

~Raven~Locke
This day SUCKED! If it wasn't enough that he was pink, then on top of it was thrown this damn adventure with that Chimchar that wouldn't shut up. Gah!
Locke was, needless to say, the first to come storming out of the portal after his group's trials. Raven soon to follow though looking a bit more tired out in comparison; his fur ruffled and matted in places as he tried to catch his breath.
"I thought we were going through the easiest portal..."
The remark was huffed out to the Swampert that was bound to be in his vicinity, the Pokemon which he fought along side of. His words weren't necessarily holding any tone of complaint, but it was rather troublesome with your own child around, to be fighting for both your own life and his, despite how much hate the Ralts held for him. The Lucario reverted back into his usual state which entailed a blank expression that spoke something along the lines of "what's next?". Locke was off somewhere by this point, perhaps hunting down Celeste and giving her a piece of his mind. Who the hell did that Chimchar think she was anyway?
~Finian
Off in the collection of guildians, a lone portal appeared, and from it plopped out an equally unaccompanied Absol. At first glance he didn't appear physically troubles in any way as many others would have been after faced with their 'tasks', however there was a look of pure displeasure etched on his disposition. Whatever the canine had just experienced was not pleasant, and probably consisted of things like politely associating with large groups of overly friendly Pokemon or something idiotic of the like. For the moment, Finian just wanted to go home. He was already dreaming inside of a dream inside of a dream or some crazy a** s**t, he just witnessed a mass suicide, and there were freaking pink people everywhere. He wanted out.

  Kaiyou & Celeste & Keiran & GaryKaiyou followed Raven, limping a little as he followed the Lucario. His hind leg ached a little, and he had a feeling that he'd be a little battered and bruised in the morning. How he'd managed to injure his leg, he didn't know. He hadn't even noticed it, until they'd finished fighting. Adrenaline seemed to shut down a lot of the pain receptors in your body. It was just one of those things. Still, he thought it pretty likely that he'd hurt it when he'd been thrown. Rock didn't make for a soft landing.
"I said it wasn't the most difficult. Never said it would be easy. You should know that this guild doesn't do easy, by now." His voice was a little sour, and he was obviously a little tired. He hadn't lost his patience, however, and he seemed to glance back up with a faint glimmer of apology. "Shame, that is," in an added undertone.
He watched the Chimchar and Locke stalk off, both fuming, although the latter was likely headed to give the former a piece of his mind.
Celeste was royally and furiously ticked. She wanted nothing more to do with those evolved freaks. And that Ralts. He was a piece of work. Disobedient to a "T". If he had any common sense, he would have recognized his position as an inferior.
She caught sight of him, headed her way, and her fur bristled in fury. "Get lost, numbskull."
Gary toddled out of his portal, plain and pink, as usual. He sat down the moment his tail tip parted with the swirling entity, and glanced at his toes. He was ordinary again, and it was certainly not entertaining by any means.
He turned to return to his portal, but found it promptly shut in his face. The disappointment in his expression was obvious as the silent Slowpoke made his way toward Raven and Kaiyou. Within a few moments, he was back at their side, and crawling up onto the Swampert's shoulder for comfort. It was much nicer, with a companion.

Solaris
Solaris watched as his guild popped out of the various portals, sometimes in groups and sometimes on their own. From the looks of things, it seemed that he wasn't the only one who had gone through a trial of some sort but all things considered it made sense since this whole thing was essentially one big "test".
The Espeon couldn't help but grimace at the thought. He hadn't exactly been an A+ student and this wasn't a test they could afford to fail.
As the last guild member popped out of their mirror and hit the ground with a thud, a massive mirror seemed to appear in the distance. In spite of it's size however, it seemed incredibly familiar as if it had been there all along, unnoticed but very much present. To call it merely ornate would be an insult, though all eyes were torn from the frame to the figure that slipped through the glass.
"Sufficient."
Solaris swallowed. Sufficient meant they passed, right? That they did good enough...?
But then why did it feel like she was still looking down on them...?
"Show me your strength. All of you. You seek a very powerful enemy... demonstrate that you have the worth should I aid you. Attack yourselves, one another, or I... it matters not."
The Espeon clenched his teeth and let his eyes fall shut as his focus fell to the gem that hung around his neck.
Psychic energy swirled and condensed in front of him. The mass grew and shrunk as it was condensed time and time again as it rapidly expanded and deflated in turn before he finally launched the ball at Cresselia.
Surprisingly enough, she barely seemed to register the attack as it splashed against her and dissipated. Far beyond mere resistance, it was as if she hadn't actually been damaged...
Which made sense, seeing as they were in a dream. It was probably impossible to hurt her, no matter how strong the attack was.
Cresselia
*****
Cresselia wants you to prove that you have the strength for the task.
Prove to her that you have the capability.

Kaiyou & Celeste & Keiran & GaryCeleste was immediately enthralled by the idea. She could fight, now, and be left without consequences. Whomever she wanted to beat the snot out of, she could. That in itself was miraculous and lovely.
Paying no mind to the fact that Cresselia, the legendary Pokemon of peace and moonlight and all such things, had just ordered her to turn traitor, she squealed aloud with childish excitement. "TAKE THIS, YOU LITTLE BRAT!"
With a resounding roar of flames, the Chimchar's Fire Spin weaved its way toward Locke, trying to knock him away from her. She was sick and tired of the lot of them. Anyone related to the guild needed to die a horrific and excruciating death.
She whirled around, feeling the burning gaze of a stranger on her form.
Keiran glanced around, still beside Era and Riley. His fur was a little fluffed out and messy, from the trials they'd just passed through, but overall he seemed to be perfectly fine.
The sight of Cresselia was more than a little shocking, definitely. He hadn't expected for all of this to be the fault of a Legendary Pokemon. Or rather, planned by it. She didn't seem to mean them any harm, but holy wow, she was good at stressing them out. Those trials hadn't been easy for anyone, he didn't think.
He froze as the order was given to attack. Attack whom? Attacking Cresselia would seem like a nightmare. She was a Legendary Pokemon; he couldn't do that. Era and the others weren't Pokemon he really felt eager to raise a fist against, either. Who was he supposed to-
Keiran and Celeste locked gazes, staring at each other from across the room. The flames still swirling around the Chimchar, Keiran's eyes widened as he watched the heated wisps die down around one of the guild's other Pokemon. A small, dark Ralts; he wasn't sure if he'd seen the Pokemon before, but that was certainly beyond okay, for him. He was used to Celeste pushing Pokemon around, but he'd never actually seen her lash out like that at one of the guild members.
He was reminded of Riley and Era, and his stomach twisted sickeningly. His own paws seemed to guide him toward Celeste, running on all fours. "What are you doing?" he questioned, his voice a little strained. He felt a little angry. Confused. Actually, he didn't even know what he felt.
"Fighting." Celeste's hiss was so icy that it gave him chills. Without warning, she attacked him, as well. Fury Swipes slashed at his face, and the Riolu let out a cry of surprise and pain, kicking back against the female with his hindpaws. He thrust his hand forward, and abrupt Force Palm tossing the little Fire-type back a few feet.
From there, the violence only escalated, though in their dreamlike state, no blood would be spilled. They'd certainly feel it in the morning, though. Psychological pain was the worst.
Kai, feeling a little stiff, had yet to understand the idea that he couldn't be physically harmed. As long as they felt the place real, their own minds would twist it to appear so.
Limping forward, he blasted a Hydro Pump at Cresselia without hesitation. He trusted Solaris' judgement enough to follow an order when he was given one, and he certainly wasn't about to make the familiar mistake of attacking a guild member.
The torrent of water struck with an empowering amount of force. The fact that it did no damage to Cresselia, however, was somewhat less empowering. It took him a full minute to realize that her powers were connected to dreams. None of this lunacy was real. None of it.
His injuries no longer seeming to hamper him, Kaiyou sent a flash of Muddy Water straight for the legendary, not affecting anyone at all in its wake. Who knew; this might even turn out to be fun.
Gary toddled along, moving in a slow and steady circle. He ignored everything else in his path, just walking pointlessly. He was kind of tired of this nonsense. He just wanted to go and sleep, now.
{{ ...No one posted, so I decided to just throw in another post, myself. Not editing the blurb for Keiran above, now. Just gonna say that he was probably talking to Era and Riley and such. }}

Harumi - Aiden
Both Aiden and Harumi stared up at Cresselia, squinting their eyes.
Both Pokemon wanted to beat the unholy ******** out of that chick, but neither had any kind of far-ranged attacks.
"Hey Harumi, you know how I like, trained you and stuff?" Aiden spoke to his side, his tail swaying a bit as he smirked.
"Uh... yeah? Why...?" The Eevee said as she glanced to her Umbreon counterpart.
Suddenly, she was jumping out of the way of a Quick Attack headed her way.
"Think fast! It's time to show me what you learned!"
Harumi hissed a bit as she took a fighting stance, glaring at Aiden.
"You're nuts! I love it!" She exclaimed, charging toward Aiden with a Quick Attack of her own.
The two began to vigorously spar, using nothing but close-quarters style attacks.
Both had very similar fighting styles, using all limbs to attack, despite them not being two-legged creatures.
Although they had similar fighting styles, Aiden almost always seemed to come out on top.
Withing a few minutes, Harumi had scrapes and bruises on her face and body.
She wasn't going to give up, though.
"I'm not gonna lose to you, you idiot..." The Eevee said with a soft pant.
"Hehe... you don't know when to give up, do you?" Aiden smirked.
"I don't know the meaning of the word!"
"It's two words...."
"Shut up!" Harumi exclaimed, charging forward once more.
