Well, then, let's see! Six pages comes out to 90 posts total. So assuming you do three posts per day, it would take exactly 30 days to complete.
I hereby set this time limit to 36 days, just because things don't exactly work out the way planned. If you post at a reasonable rate, you should be able to make it without any problems.
Of course, you two will probably post much faster than that.

On the border of the Starter Villa, a trio stood quietly, taking mark of everything about the place. Their senses were on high alert because of the mission that they were about to embark on, and none of them moved at all, prepared for anything. Era’s ear twitched slightly at the rustle of the grass and turned quickly to see what had made the noise, only to find that nothing was there, it had just been the rustle of the wind. ”Calm down Era,” Riley said with a smile heading over to her and resting a paw on her own reassuringly, ”Everything’s not out to get us you know.” The Eevee was just as alert as his Pikachu and Ivysaur companions, but he didn’t want Era to be as nervous as she was. True the situation didn’t sound to good, but they didn’t know anything yet.
”On the contrary, it’s important to be wary,” the Ivysaur replied. It was Celus’ first mission, but he was unperturbed by the mystery that veiled the entire situation. The Ivysaur surveyed the area in order to gather as much information about it as possible. There were a large number of places to hide with several old human houses about, so although there was no sign of any other Pokemon it didn’t mean that they weren’t there. ”As soon as the others arrive we should get going Era. I think it would be unwise to remain in one place any longer than is necessary.”
Era nodded, her eyes glistening with worry. For the fourth time since they’d arrived, her paw strayed to the bag that she wore and she felt around for the paper that she was looking for. Her paw gently closed upon it and she pulled the worn sheet of paper out. It looked just the same as it had before, torn about the edges with blood splattered all over it, dying the note red. The blood was dry now, but it still caused the Pikachu’s heart to beat faster with fear; there was so much blood that the paper was illegible, only a few parts could be made out.
Ple--- -e-- R-sc-- ---m
-ta--er V--l- -- w--
--k- -m-----t- a--i-n
W- --e- h-lp
It was very difficult to discern anything from the message, but from the blood it could only be assumed that there was a dire problem that needed to be solved. The one part that stood out was the last word, it could clearly only have said one thing: help. Era sighed; this was the only thing that they had to go off of for the Mission, the only other thing the mission had said was that there had been a rise in fighting in the area, which left them with practically nothing to go off of. ”Don’t worry,” Era said to Riley, ”I’ll be alright, but Celus is right. As soon as Team Darkstar arrives we should head off. The sooner we figure out what’s going on here, the better.” Team Darkstar had been the other Team they were paired with for the mission; it having been deemed too difficult for one Team alone. That alone would have been enough to make one uncertain, but a bloodstained letter was enough to make Era slightly spooked.
It had been her idea to take the Mission in the first place, saying that it would be good for them to work with another Rescue Team. Ethfael had decided to stay behind for a change, assuring Era that she would be fine by herself. She thought it was most likely because he didn’t want to have to deal with another Team, but she couldn’t be sure. Regardless, Riley and Celus had both volunteered to come, and now here they were, alone by this eerily quiet village, with no sign of anything. ”I’m sure they’ll be here soon,” Riley said with another smile, ”Until then all we have to do is wait.”

Ⱦeam Ðaɍksţaɍ ~✭  XXX XXX XXXXXXX—¤÷(`Nadia & Luke & Roxana ´)÷¤— Rushing to the near borders of the dungeon that was called Starter Villa because of its starter Pokemon was a Poochyena with a frown on her face. Behind her was a rather larger Lucario and running along beside him was a small Vulpix with colorful colors, slightly smaller than the Poochyena. They were late. Nadia wasn't one to wake up early. They passed over a few green bushes, leaving the bushes still rattling a bit. The trio stopped in front of another guild members. Its quite obvious that they're the other Team they've been paired up with since the Starter Villa isn't a Pikachu nor an Eevee in the Starter Villa, except the Ivysaur. "W-We're sorry we're late!" The Poochyena apologized deeply to the Pikachu in front of her while trying to catch her breath. "We..uhh..had some problems going here." She explained, trying to make a small excuse. "We are terribly sorry." Luke added.
The breeze blew above the two Rescue Teams. She looked at the other team for a moment. A Pikachu, an Eevee, and an Ivysaur. They look quite friendly. At least, how she looked at them. "Ahh yes, err, let me introduce my team," She finally spoke up. "My name is Nadia and I'm the leader of the team. This is Luke and this is Roxana." She gestured her gray bushy tail at each of her teammate. When the Vulpix was pointed at, one of her six tails went up to cover her mouth. She blushed a bit and moved more behind the Lucario hybrid. "She's a bit shy, don't worry about it." Nadia reassured the other team softly.
A tense feeling hit her as thought came into mind. Last she recalled, the mission was quite scary, even if its just a small description. Her small claws slightly unsheathed and clawed the ground nervously. Her team hadn't seen the bloody note before. The bloody note was handed to the other team, MistMelody. She pictured a small paper with writings on it. The blood that was described in the mission splatted over the note, causing it to turn bright red. Who's blood is the one who painted the note crimson red? She shook the thought out of her mind. Chills was sent down to her spine. Not wanting to wait any longer, she finally managed to open her mouth. "May I see the note that was covered in blood as said in the mission?" She asked politely, hiding the tense striking at her. She waited for the team's response. Her ears twitched every now and then. Her tail swishing back and forth rapidly.

Era's eyes lit up as she spotted the three Pokemon heading towards them. They were clearly not aggressors, they weren't species present in the Villa at all, which meant that they had to be the members of Team Darkstar. In response to the Poochyena and Lucario's apologies Era shook her head, "It's fine," she said, her attitude much more relaxed now that the other part of their group was here, "We were a little early anyway." Era was always sure to be punctual when meeting others, which by her definition meant that if she was on time, she was late. "We're Team MistMelody," she continued, "Or at least part of it. I'm Era, the Leader, and these two are Riley and Celus." She gestured to each of them as she introduced them, and they both gave a nod to the others. "It's nice to meet you Nadia and Luke," Era added, "And good to see you again Roxana." She'd seen all of them around before but the rainbow colored Vulpix had given her a hand in a tight spot back when she was a Pichu so they already knew each other, in a sense.
"Hey there," Riley greeted the others, he hadn't seen them before, but from how friendly Era was acting towards them, he was pretty certain that they were good Pokemon. He looked over them with a smile, his expression amicable; they were going to be together for this Mission after all, so they'd best get off to a good start. "Now that you're here I guess we can get started."
"Let them collect their bearings a minute first," Celus said, his eyes not on the newcomers but still on the Villa. "We're not in there yet, but once we step inside the boundary, anything could happen." The Ivysaur's red eyes trailed over the overgrown hedges and grass that grew around the abandoned buildings, looking for any definitive signs of life. He knew that whatever had started this problem was in there somewhere, and that was what they were here for.
At Nadia's request Era nodded, reaching into her bag yet again to pull out the note. She gingerly spread the paper out on the ground, the sensation of the dried blood brushing against her paw making her shudder involuntarily. "There you have it," she said, stepping back for everyone to see, "This is the note. It's impossible to read from all the..." Era didn't finish her sentence, the word "blood" catching in her throat. "You know the rest, there was a strange surge of fighting around here, and we got this note. That's it." There was nothing more to it, they knew nothing else as of yet.

Ⱦeam Ðaɍksţaɍ ~✭ XXXXXXXXXXXXX—¤÷(`Nadia & Luke & Roxana ´)÷¤— Nadia was relieved that the Pikachu said it was alright. For a moment, her heart was pounding hard. Her gaze met with the Pikachu as she introduced herself and the other two of her teammates. She turned to face the Eevee and the more larger Ivysaur. He was looking at the Villa. Her head turned slightly to glance at the Villa for a moment before paying full attention to Era again. "Nice to meet you too~" She replied back, her tail swished to either one of her sideways delightedly. She glanced to her rainbow-like colored teammate, then back across to Era. "Oh you guys have met already?" She said, her head tilted to her right. "Then that makes things much easier." Luke added, stepping forward to the Poochyena's side, and of course, Roxana kept following behind him.
"Y-You've grown i-into a P-Pikachu already?" The Vulpix squeaked. "Its b-been long indeed since w-we last m-met." Her voice was stuttering as usual. But there was a bit improvement compared to how she acted when she first joined the team. She remembered when she saved Era from a Bronzong when she was still a small Pichu. That Bronzong was weakened, but it was still strong, and she managed to defeat it with her Fire-type moves. She has completely changed. Even if its such a small improvement, she changed. And that's the important part. No matter how small the improvement is, she has improved.
Luke's ears didn't twitched as Riley approached them, but his ears could very well heard him greeted them. "Hello." He said, his face was slightly expressionless, but his voice sounded friendly. His glance dropped at the Ivysaur. "He is right," He agreed to what Celus has pointed out. "We haven't checked our supplies properly yet. And that there might be something waiting for us there." He glared at the Villa for a second before turning to the small Vulpix. His stare was giving a sign for her to follow and help him check their supplies, leaving Nadia alone, looking at the other team.
Her heart pounded again. Faster and faster, as Era spread the bloody paper on the bristling grass. The note was as almost as how she pictured it. Her eyes widened at the sight. Dried blood was everywhere. The dark pale crimson coloring spreading on the paper. She sat down and pushed her head closer to the paper, trying to make out of what's left of the writing. "Hey Luke, come over here." She called her teammate. Upon hearing his name being called, he left Roxana to check the supplies by herself and walked to her side. "What do you think it says?" He narrowed his eyes to the paper. "Please help...?" He mumbled aloud. "Rescue....err.." He continued. "I do not know what the 'm' might be." He said, getting up fully with his legs. "It might says 'them'.." The Poochyena suggested. "So far, it says 'Please help. Rescue them' then?" She recalled what they had deciphered. "It seems to sound right." Luke commented. Nadia looked at the paper again. "I don't know what the rest means, but I guess that the last sentence is 'We need help'..." Her voice faded. The last word was quite obvious since the letter 'h', 'l', and 'p' could be seen and the letter in the center of them should be an 'e'.

Era smiled contentedly to Roxana, "Yeah, I've evolved since then," she replied simply. A lot of things had changed since that time, she knew more and she'd done more, and even if it had only been a few months, it seemed like years and years since those days. "It's still me though, nothing changes on the inside." That was true about evolution at least. Your whole physical appearance became completely different, but you still were the same person. Era recalled the feeling she'd had after first evolving; feeling as though she were still a Pichu, just stuck in a Pikachu's body and smiled a bit. By now she'd grown used to being a Pikachu, it hadn't taken long to adjust, things had just coming naturally. It was all a part of growing she supposed, just like everything else. The consequences she'd paid unintentionally for her growth though were a great deal more than she let on to anyone. No one would know what she knew; she made a promise and she would keep it to the death.
Riley and Era both reverted their attention to the mysterious note, listening as Luke and Nadia began trying to decipher their way through the writing. Riley nodded his head, following along with what they said, "Well," he said, "It's a start anyway, we can't be sure of what it says without finding the writer. But judging from the way it looks, I don't know if he'll be in any fit state to tell us..." It was terribly sad to think of what could have happened to the writer of the letter. The Eevee brushed a paw across the surface of the note gently, a sad expression on his face. All of the Pokemon here were so young, to think they they would be killing their own was something that he didn't even want to cross his mind. He looked up at Era, "Do you think we should go ahead? I don't think trying to puzzle out this letter will help us any more than it has already."
Era opened her mouth to respond, only to hear the voice of Celus instead. "It would appear our decision has been made for us," he said. As Era listened a faint noise as if from far away began to grow louder, to the point where it was almost deafening even though there were no Pokemon in sight. The grass began to rustle and without a word, Era picked up the note and rolled it up to put safely back in her bag, turned to face whatever was coming. Riley defensively stood beside her and Celus took a few steps forward, scanning the area. "Where are you...?" he murmured, trying to pinpoint the area of the ruckus.
Out of the shrubbery swaggered a Totodile, leading a group of Squirtle and other Totodile. The lead Totodile wore a red bandanna around his head, and his expression was not friendly. "Oi blokes, look what we got 'ere," the Totodile said, those behind him snickering slightly at the comment, "A li'l bunch of 'splorers." The group collectively snickered again, and all three of Team MistMelody's members tensed. "You blokes are truspassin," the Totodile said, brandishing an iron bar at them, "You ain't allowed on Blue grounds. 'Specially with that filthy Red and Green ya got there." Without warning ropes sprung out to lasso Celus, but the Ivysaur cut them with precise Razor Leaf attacks, one for each rope. The Totodile leader bristled in anger, "No one messes with the Blues, am I right blokes?" The group cheered and the lead Totodile glared at the Guild members, "Take 'em down. We'll show them the power of Blue, once and for all!" With that the group burst forward, at least 10 strong of Totodile and Squirtle out for blood.

Ⱦeam Ðaɍksţaɍ ~✭ XXXXXXXXXXXXX—¤÷(`Nadia & Luke & Roxana ´)÷¤— "O-Of course nothing changed on the inside. O-Only your form has changed and m-maybe your attack or defense and so on improved p-perhaps?" The Vulpix said while checking her team's supplies one by one. She didn't turn or glanced at the Pikachu. Her face was focused on her task.
So it may be minor to check one's belongings, but it’s still important they have to prepare for what's coming for them. You can't be too sure. She looked at the Oran Berries she was holding. There should be enough for the mission. Plus, if they ever run out of Oran Berries, maybe Team MistMelody might share one or two if they bring some? Or she could whip out Morning Sun to heal Pokemon. She placed the Oran Berries back to the small bag they brought. She continued to do the same thing for the Apples and Big Apples. The team usually has more Big Apples than the normal Apples, not that it’s a bad thing. Once she looked through all the items that are located in the bag. She picked up the bag and walked to Luke so she could report everything she saw inside the bag.
"Very good then." The Lucario commented on the rainbow colored Vulpix's report. Roxana gave a glance at the bloody paper that was a few inches away from her. Her spine tingled just by looking at it. "I guess you’re right." Nadia sighed; looking at Riley with slight sorrow the fact of the writer might already be dead by now. "Our deciphers was just nothing more than merely small guesses.." Luke added to point that out. Listening to the Eevee's talking, it might be a good idea to move out. They can't spend all day trying to solve the note. Even if they did solve it, it could be a waste of time since the answer won't be right for sure. The only one who knows what the note says is the writer. And how are they going to find the writer when they don't even know what the writer looks like to begin with! And the writer shouldn't be in good health described by the blood all over the note.
Suddenly, an odd sound grew louder and louder that silenced the two teams. The trio felt their muscles tensed as they brace themselves. Then, a Totodile came out of the bushes along with its friends. Oh, it was just some small Totodile and a group of Squirtle and another group of Totodiles. The weird pirate accent came out of the Totodile leader's mouth. Wait, what did he mean by Blue territory? And what did they call Roxana and Celus? Red and Green? The group of Water starter Pokemon began their attack. Luke managed to knock out a Squirtle that leaped at him with one blow of his Force Palm. Nadia managed to pelt away from an incoming Water Gun from an angry Totodile. She returned a thank you to the Totodile in a form of a Dark Pulse that struck him quite good. Though he managed to get up back to his feet and attempted to bit her with an Ice Fang. Before he could even made contact with her furry gray skin, she formed into a shadow and sneaked pass the Totodile, causing him to fall to the ground, failed to do his Ice Fang at her. When he was scrambling back to get up and do another failed attack, the Poochyena reformed back into a Poochyena and attacked him. On the other hand, Roxana was screwed. The ones attacking are all Water-types and she was a Fire-type. That and all of her attack moves are Fire-type based moves. As some of the Water type group approached near her, she tried as best as she can to dodge their attacks as she fires Flamethrowers at them. At least it would still damage them a little bit.

The fight was on in the blink of an eye, and Era, Riley and Celus were ready for the onslaught as it came. As their companions began to attack, Team MistMelody was right beside them. Most of the group had their sights set on Roxana and Celus, who were apparently the Red and Green that the Totodile had been talking about. Celus was having a particularly hard time, three of the Water Types surrounding him. Even though he had the type advantage, and was older and more experienced, three on one was no fair fight, especially with the tactics they were using. Celus would aim at one and the other two would attack, and if he aimed at two, the remaining one would hit him with a powerful attack. The two Totodile constantly aimed at him with Ice Fang, and the Squirtle would nail him with Skull Bash if ever he wasn't hit. All in all things were looking hard for the Ivysaur where he stood. "'Ey, you Greens think your be'er than ery one doncha?" said the head Totodile jumping it to bash Celus over the head with his iron stick, "You ain't tho'. Blue is the best bloke, tha's all there is to it."
Celus winced under the stream of blows, under far too much pressure for his liking. When an Ice Fang from one of the Totodile drew blood though, the Ivysaur grew angry. Alright, enough playing games. If these children were going to be difficult, he would just have to teach them a lesson. With a flick off his vines he pushed the Totodile off of him, tossing him to the side without another thought where the Water Type remained, stunned. The other two were on him in an instant, but he was ready, Sleep Power puffing out of his flower into their faces. Both fell to the ground knocked out cold, and he turned back to their Leader. "Don't try me," he warned the younger Pokemon, "You'll be in for a fight you can't win."
Riley jumped into the fight beside Luke, his Bite clamping down on the shell of a Squirtle. The Squirtle flung him around with a Rapid Spin, following up by sending a Water Pulse the Eevee's way. Riley jumped straight toward the attack, pushing through it with a Quick Attack that forced the Squirtle onto his back. He barreled into it with a Take Down, sending the Squirtle flying back into the wall, almost like a hockey puck. "Alright!" he said, tail whisking back and forth with satisfaction.
Era spotted a group of four headed over to Roxana and jumped to the Vulpix's aid; time to repay an old favor. Sparks leaped to the Pikachu's cheeks, her movements quick as she fired an Electro Ball at a Totodile behind Roxana. The Vulpix was using a Flamethrower, but it scarcely seemed to subdue the remaining Water Types, and they were instead retaliating with Water Gun and other attacks that were no good for Fire Types. Jumping in front of a Water Gun aimed for the Vulpix, she took the attack that wouldn't hurt her nearly as much as it might Roxana, and sent a Thunderbolt out to their opponents, which shocked the Water Types to their core.
Era was ready to keep going, and would have too, if it weren't for a sudden shout from the Totodile, "Oi blokes! To me!" As Era watched the group picked themselves up and flocked to their leader; a Piplup was standing by the Totodile saluting smartly as if to a superior officer. "You blokes are lucky," the Totodile said with a snort, "We got more important ma'ers than you. If you're still 'ere when we get back, ya'll wish you ne'er 'eard of the Blues, go' it?" Then he signaled to his group and they trooped off, marching in a frighting manner, again as though part of an army.
"Arceus, what was wrong with them?" Riley said, staring after the group although they were long gone. "You'd think they had a vendetta against the Guilds or something."
Celus looked back to Era, who's eyes were wide and slightly fearful. "What is it Era, what are you thinking?"
The Pikachu shook her head in disbelief, the bloodied note in her paws once more. "They do have a vendetta Riley," she said, "But not against us, against each other." Her two Teammates looked at her inquisitively as Era's eyes fell to the paper once more. "I know what this line says..." she said softly, laying it on the ground for all to see, and pointing at the second line, "Starter Villa at war."

Ⱦeam Ðaɍksţaɍ ~✭ XXXXXXXXXXXXX—¤÷(`Nadia & Luke & Roxana ´)÷¤— Nadia was face-to-face with another Totodile. Her chest was lowered to the ground, she felt her gray fur brushing against the dirt ground. A growl formed in her throat. "Ye think your so tough, ain't cha bloke?!" The Totodile snapped at her "Well you ain't! Ye'r just a teeny wheeny pooch." He continued mockingly. Her claws impatiently clawing the ground as she heard him said 'teeny weeny pooch'. "Do NOT underestimate me." She replied, obviously annoyed. Fury burned in her eyes. "O yea? What'er you bloke gonna....gonna.." He didn't even finish his own sentence as he gawked at the Poochyena. She was sitting on the ground with her tail curled around her paws. She hold up one of her paws and rested it below her muzzle. A sly grin stretched across her face as she winked at him attractively. "Gonna what~?" She said with an innocent laugh. Small pink hearts surrounded the Totodile before vanishing inside his body, infatuating him into her little love spell. His eyes turned into big pink hearts. Now he's totally in love with her. He didn't say anything, he just kept gawking at her with a small drool coming from his mouth. She walked to him slowly and circled him around. "I'm just going to do this one little thing~" Her tail suddenly glow a faint purple light. She raised her tail high in the air and swung it at the Totodile, causing him to fly at the direction of one of it's Water-type buddies. They collided quite hard the fact that the Poochyena hit the Totodile really hard because of how annoyed she was being called a 'pooch'.
Meanwhile Roxana was having a hard time until Era came to her rescue. Huh, good things DO happen if you do good things after all. Like what karma is. She watched her easily defeat the Water-types with her electric. She felt a bit useless in this battle. Unless if someone got a status problem, she could use her Refresh she got from a Milotic when the whole guild was Heart Swapped. She never got the chance to learn her name though. Other than her Refresh, her Morning Sun should be helpful too. "Thank you, Era." She thanked her without even stuttering.
Everybody stopped fighting as the Water-types gathered. Nadia's attention was directed to the one and only Piplup among the group. By the looks of what the Totodile was doing, the Piplup must be their leader. As they marched away from the two teams, Team Darkstar relaxed their bodies, getting rid of the tense feeling they had when they were battling. She turned to look at Riley as he spoke. When Celus spoke up, she glanced at Era's face, trying to find what the Ivysaur meant. A heartbeat skipped from her as she said the word 'war'. "How c-could Starter Villa b-be at w-w-war?" The now pale-looking Poochyena detected a lot of stutters from the Vulpix's word. Era's answer probably scared her. "Could it be because of type differences?" Luke suggested. Everybody fell silent. "Remember when all the Water-type group was mainly directed at Roxana and Celus?" He continue to explain. "They are Fire-type and Grass-type, one of the following types in the Starter Villa. The Pokemon here is trying to prove who is more stronger than the said types. There should be three armies in combat right now." Everyone started to put the Lucario's thoughts in mind. What he said made sense somehow.

Team MistMelody listened to Luke's reasoning quietly, allowing the idea to sink in. The Villa was warring due to Type differences, enough so that they were out for each other's blood; this was worse than they had thought. "Yes," Celus said with a nod once the Lucario had finished, "That makes perfect sense. The Water, Fire, and Grass Types must be fighting one another for superiority, as you said. That explains the Blues, Reds, and Greens that were mentioned." The Ivysaur looked at the others seriously, "We're going to have to be very careful where we tread," he said, "With myself and Roxana there will be someone out for our blood no matter where we go. Nowhere is safe in this warzone for us."
Era picked up the note and rolled it up again, replacing it in the bag yet again. "Even so, we can't just stay here. We have to figure out a way to stop this war; that's what we're here for, to stop the fighting, I'm sure of it." The Pikachu surveyed the group; they all looked fairly well, Celus was sporting a few wounds but they either weren't bothering him or he could bear them since he wasn't saying anything, and the others didn't look to be in too bad of shape either. "We should head further in, and find out more about this place before we actually do anything more though. If we stay, those Water Types will be back, but maybe instead of them surprising us, we can surprise them." She nodded towards the grass that the group had disappeared to. "They were in a hurry, so they can't have covered their tracks. We could follow them and see what 'important matter' it was that dragged them away from us. The worst that could happen would be we'd have to fight them again, I'd say we don't have anything to lose."
Riley nodded, following her logic. "Nadia, Roxana, and I could lead," he said, "We all come from species with good noses, so even if their tracks aren't visible, maybe we could still find them. That is if it's alright with you ladies?" The question was directed toward Nadia and Roxana, he didn't want to volunteer them for a task if they didn't want to do it after all, even though it would earn them precious time if they agreed. "We've got no time to lose, the longer we wait the further away they get."
Celus nodded somberly, heading over to the grass and using his vines to pull it back. "There are tracks!" he reported, "They're harder to see the further in you go but they're there." The grass was taller than even Luke's head it was so overgrown, that it made things dark at ground level since it was so dense. It would be difficult to get through, although not impossible. They could manage it, and that was what mattered.

Ⱦeam Ðaɍksţaɍ ~✭ XXXXXXXXXXXXX—¤÷(`Nadia & Luke & Roxana ´)÷¤— Roxana's ears dropped. Hearing that Celus and herself would be hunted all the time during the mission made her nervous. She couldn't even save herself from the Water-types without any help from her teammates or the other team. She swallowed her tongue, feeling her heart could burst at any moment from the pressure. Chills tickled her spine; she felt a churn in her stomach. She felt so anxious about this. Nadia glanced at the colorful Vulpix. Even if she wasn't one of the main targets in the war, she could feel how she was feeling. Given how useless she could be around the Water-types, she may not survive in this. "There, there, everything would be okay~" She whispered to the scared Vulpix's ear, trying to comfort her. Roxana heard her attempt to relax her a bit, although she didn't respond. The Poochyena continued to look at her, concerned as Team MistMelody gave out their ideas.
"I agree, if we do not stop this on going war, many Pokemon of Starter Villa will die." Luke spoke up as a respond to Era. The next sentence the Pikachu said made Nadia tilt her head. "What do you mean by surprising them?" Apparently she didn't understand what she said the first time. As she continued, her question was soon answered. She let out a faint 'Ohh' the second she understood the logic behind all of it. She didn't mean to look a bit oblivious especially when she was the leader of her team. Sometimes she just doesn't understand things if you don't explain it to her specifically. So thus she can't really take hints. As the conversation progressed, Nadia nodded to the Eevee. "Its fine, really, if it means it would help us end this war faster." She said before turning her head to the Vulpix who was also mentioned. "Right, Roxana?" She was hesitating to answer, but it was just the images of things that would happen along the mission that was bothering her. "Y-Yes."
Team Darkstar all turned their attentions to the said tracks. It was small depending on the large and tall grasses among it. The grass certainly made it look hard to go through. If its already hard when you just imagine going through it, how much harder could it get when you actually do it? "Let's go then, but be stealthy. We do not want to attract any attentions." The Lucario warned them. He was well aware that he could use his Psycho Cut to cut the overgrown grasses to clear the view, but it would make a path of cut grasses if you don’t cover the path. And if you try an attempt cover it, it would just burn time. He walked to the Ivysaur’s side, staring at the fresh green grass, ready to walk through it at anytime.

Once they had all reached concensus on their next course of action, Celus backed off to allow the three smaller quadrupeds to make their way ahead of him. Following behind them as they took the lead. It had reverted from the cluttered and unpleasant noise from before back to the eerie silence that engulfed the area. They would find that the tracks were fairly straightforward and easy to follow, although every now and then they were able to make use of the three trackers. Riley grimaced at the smell of musty water and reeds that filled his nose, he wasn't the best of trackers, but this was an odor that was unconcealable. There was Water Type scent every way that they turned, and the tracks led them as well. They couldn't hardly have left a better trail if they had been trying to be followed. They're not that smart though, right? Riley thought, trying to convince himself of the fact. Being in a warzone was not the best way to keep one calm, that was certain. He led the way beside Nadia and Roxana through the overgrown grass until they began to hear noise again. Signaling silence with a paw to his mouth, he crept forward, leading them on as the sound grew louder and louder. Carefully, he parted the grass when it was at another opening, and he looked out to see what he could see, leaving space for the others to peer around him.
What they saw was a horiffic sight. The Blues from before were fighting tooth and fang against a squad of Torchic and Chimchar, all of them drawing blood as they attacked. It was mortifying to see such young Pokemon fighting so viciously, for no real purpose. Riley would have run out if Celus hadn't rested a vine on his shoulder lightly, shaking his head no. They couldn't go out there without risking certain death, there were at least fifty Pokemon out there, far more than six could handle. "Vat vill you do now?" came a voice from a Torchic weilding a metal whip, the sound ringing through the air as he cracked it with a strong taloned foot. "You know you cannot vin!"
The whip lashed against the familiar Totodile from before, his eyes blazing with hatred, "You be'er watch your words," he said, bring his iron bar up to block the whip, "You'll be ea'en 'em 'fore ya know what hit ya." The two were as good as at each other's throats and the clashing of their weapons echoed over the noise of the battle. The sight of the masses fighting finally was too much for Riley, and he let the grass fall back to conceal the view, although the noise was still deafening.
"Well," Era said, the color drained from her face at what she had just seen, "I guess we got what we asked for..." It was so much worse than she'd imagined, she'd seen some on both sides lying on the ground, writhing in pain but no one would help, others were almost trampled to death if they lost their fooring, and this wasn't even all three of the groups. It made her heart sad to see such a thing going on. She looked up into the faces of the others, "But what can we do?"

Ⱦeam Ðaɍksţaɍ ~✭ XXXXXXXXXXXXX—¤÷(`Nadia & Luke & Roxana ´)÷¤— Rustling sounds was made as they made their way through the tall grasses, even if they try their hardest to not make a sound, the rustling still continues. Nadia pricked her ears warily. She looked up at the blue skies. The sun was already high up above the clouds meaning it should be in the middle of the day already. She narrowed her eyes as the harsh sunlight pointed towards her. She turned to look in front of her, nothing but endless sea of overgrown grass. The tracks was almost faint to look at. She tasted the air, it was humid. She glanced at Roxana and Riley, judging by their faces, they could feel it too, the moist-like feeling. The way it sticks to her gray fur made her uneasy. But the worries and concerns she is having made that minor. Luke's yellow rings glow faintly in the depths of the grass, but luckily it wasn't really noticed by anyone other than the teams. Sounds and noises grew louder as they crept closer to what they were pursuing through the grass for. Metal cracks and screeches startled the scared rainbow-colored Vulpix. Team Darkstar approached near Riley to look at where the source of noises earlier came from. They poked their heads slightly to get a clearer view without any grasses blocking a bit of their view. The sight made their spine tingle.
What Luke said was true. Starter Villa was fighting to become the best out of the three types. Suffering Pokemon was laying on the ground with blood covering them. Their lives was nearing into an end. Nadia widened her eyes. Flashes of her past came to her, reminding her of her past. This was almost like what happened to her several years ago, when she was still a weakling. She can't do anything to make a difference. She should have helped, she could have at least died with them. Her body was trembling with fear. She stood still among the grass, looking out at the fight between the Water-type group and the Fire-type group. "W-Why...?" Her voice was faint like a small whisper. Her eyes was showing sorrow. She can't let this happen again, no she won't let it happen. An urge of determination to stop this war was flowing inside her body. Though right now, she was mourning quietly to herself of her loss. She leaned a bit to Luke's side a few moments before the Eevee let the grass fall into each other to close the sight from the two teams.
The question resounded to Team Darkstar's mind. How? How are they going to stop the war when there are millions of armies out there in Starter Villa that could slaughter the two teams in one attack? Its impossible. "We could do this.." Nadia said to try and convince everyone including herself. Her voice wasn't very convincing though. She was as upset as everyone else here. "B-B-But how? We're outnumbered!" She exclaimed without having to say it too loud for the Water-types and Fire-types to hear her wailing. "Even if your words are true, my dear Roxana, there has to an advantage of some sort that we could use." Luke said, helping to encourage the two teams that seemed hopeless to stop a war. There should be an advantage for them. Maybe its waiting for them to find it right now. Imagining how you could no longer hear any more heart beats is scary. No one should die because of a meaningless war. This war is meaningless because every type in here has its weaknesses. There is no strongest or weakest in here. Every type in Starter Villa is somehow the same.
