Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I got one thousand Pokedollars on the bird, sorry, Nal. Have you seen this dude in action? You are small time to him, fire or no fire." Sub admitted.

"Oh... I'll be back." Cera said, before taking off.

It wouldn't be long before she found most of her Pokemon, hanging around the cave and the water nearby. She watched as they turned with the new presence, only to back up a bit.

"Um... hey... it's kinda a long story." Seeing that none of them moved, she started to explain what had gone on on the island. Or at least, what she had been told of the events that she didn't know herself. While it was quickly clear that the pink thing talking to them used to be green and looked a bit different, it was the same one they knew. In terms of, it was the same voice.

"So there you go. I know, it's an adjust for me too, and if you dun wanna stay, you dun-"

Before she could finish that statement, Joltik scurried right over to her. He, at least, wasn't going anywhere.

"Thanks... but I'm no different than any of you, that's why I said that."

"(No different. No different!? Look at yourself!)" One of the Pokemon spoke up. Specifically, a Riolu. "(Why're you all modest all of a sudden and acting all... Just...)" With a yell of utter disgust, she stormed off out of the mountain cave.

"Guess she's upset..."

That Riolu wasn't the only one, Cera would learn. In a matter of seconds, she'd watch a Cherrim and Skitty huff and follow suit.

"Wait, wait, dun-"

A Pidgeotto would then come up to her face, glaring. "(I don't know what's up with you, but you seem different. Too different... Kaif, Angel, we're going.)"

"Feathers, what? You dun need to go if you dun want to!"

The Pidgeotto paid no attention, taking a Pichu onto his back, followed by a Happiny. It wouldn't take long before the bird flew away with them. By now, Cera was distraught, looking around. The Tyranitar and Togekiss standing were still there, and in the water were the three best known for sticking there: a Vaporeon, Lanturn and Starmie.

The Starmie, not really seeing too much and mostly used to being by itself, dove in to take off. That one didn't bother Cera too much, and neither did Lanturn following. Her Vaporeon, however, jumped out to walk over.

Unlike the rest, she seemed calm, staring up at the Mew in front. "(You know, I have never seen so many walk out on you like that. Have you gone daft or what?)" She asked.

Cera didn't say a word, already trying to keep herself together as it was. It was then that her Tyranitar would finally walk over.

"(She said this whole thing was an adjust, she's probably still coming to grips. Why wouldn't she act unlike herself a little?)"

"(But what if they're right, Kiri!? She's not herself. What if that doesn't change?)"

"(What if it does?)" Her Togekiss spoke up, staying put.

"(...Hmph. Well, I think they have a point, for them to get so upset. I know I've been here just as long as you two, but if you want to sit by and watch her turn meek, go ahead. I've got better ideas.)" Without another word, the Vaporeon turned around and went into the water, diving in and heading elsewhere.

Seeing the three that did remain, she looked down. "Th-thanks, you three..." Whatever hint of chipperness was in her voice was gone now, wondering what the heck just happened. Was there some kind of breaking point, or what?

"Eh, best way to recover is some good exercise and work out those sore muscles," Night said, sending a small wave of fire chi through her fur to finish drying it. The result, unfortunately, caused a few spots of fur to poof out and become a bit frizzy, "Damn, guess I'll be washing my fur again tonight. Ah, the joys of having fur cover every inch of your body. If you don't dry it just right....well, you see the results. Now, would you like to make the first move, or should I?"

Without bothering to wait for an answer, Night moved. Quickly and quietly as she could, the hybrid rushed into the trees, eventually using a few lower branches to pull herself up above Blizz before making her way just behind him and launching herself from the branch to plant a well-aimed kick to the back of his head.

"Got me close enough to do this," She said, throwing a quick Fire Blast in his face, "By the way, I'd rather not hear about all the kinky things you and Freth do in the bedroom if it's all the same to you. I'd rather keep what small amount of sanity I have left, thanks."

"Uh, you just did, obviously," Night said, quickly throwing up a Protect barrier to block the Ice Beam, "I clearly heard you say I should see you and Freth when you get out of bed. What? Didn't think I could hear you? I am a fox after all. Think these ears on top of my head are just for decoration?"

Shaking her head, Night allowed the slight pink shade in her eyes to flash full on as she slammed Blizz with an extrasensory before disappearing into the cover of the trees once more. This time, however, she made extra care to keep her movements much quieter and, by filling the air with a thick wave of fire chi, making it much harder to track her via her own chi.

"I mean, if you and Freth like hanging from the chandelier like a couple of Aipoms. By all means, have at it. I just don't wanna hear about it from you later."

"You're just jealous cause we foxes are better at it than you birds could ever hope to be," Night laughed as the echo from the surrounding trees and mountains bounced her voice all around, "Although, I gotta admit, once Tails gets old enough that he starts up with his birthright as a Vulpix, I am looking forward to it. Never seen a molted Articuno before. Think he might cause you to lose all your feathers?"

Unlike before, Night's next attack came from below as she dove out from behind the tree nearest Blizz and attempted to sweep her own feet beneath his to knock him to the ground, "Though, when that happens, will Freth have to be the one to start hanging from the chandelier? Cause I doubt a featherless bird would be able to get up that high. Or would you just have her give you a little boost?"

If he listened very closely, Blizz might hear the soft cries of 'ohshitohshitohshit', coming from the Ninetales as she struggled back to her feet after her failed sweeping to escape the massive Ice Beam. Followed very quickly by an angered shout, "Dammit, Blizzard! You froze three of my tails!"

Growling angrily, Night glared up at the bird with another Extrasensory. Perhaps with a little more power, it would do more than simply make him flinch. It was time to knock him out of the sky and clip his wings.
