Getting into the water, Albafica sighed in contentment before
looking about. After chatting to some Pokemon in the beach, he
sighed and watched some of the humans spot him with a gasp. Well,
one human. He instinctively wanted to duck away and out of sight
but he was determined to stay so he instead made his way back to
Katsu and Hunter's side
"Found what you were looking for?" Katu asked as Albafica
approached her and Hunter, trying to keep her tone to mostly
small-talk. Aino's new nickname for her still hurt, even if she
didn't feel like admitting it herself. She had completely failed as
a leader, so she should have known better now.
Some of the humans were beginning to notice oddities - rashes on
their skin when they couldn't be moved out of the sun quickly
enough, grazes and shallow cuts where Katu had been less careful
than she should have been while moving them. More importantly, they
were all becoming aware that they were hungry, and any and all the
food they'd brought with them had spoilt.
"no..." He said sullenly, hiding behind the other two as humans
began to sit up and gather their bearings. "But it's okay... I
didn't expect to find her here..." He watched as humans began to
notice their growling stomaches and the rotten food but he also
watched Katu seem to lose herself in her thoughts. What Aino said
must have really impacted her, he thought, resolving to try and
cheer up the other. But no matter how hard he thought about ways to
cheer Katu up, he came up blank at every turn
Tenshi landed a quick attack on the hariama. She used her legs to
bounce back and avoid any attack it might throw at her. She needed
them out of the way already, they really weren't doing anything but
wasting her time. Her eyes had a killer glow, the look of a wild
predator closing in on it's prey.
"Oh, I see." Katu answered, suddenly uneasy. What was she supposed
to say to that? Not that she had been expecting a positive answer,
since she was pretty sure that he wouldn't be with them otherwise,
but still. Then, she felt stupid for even broaching the subject in
the first place.
The Gardevoir used heal pulse on the Hariyama as it closed the
distance, then followed up with a moonblast aimed at Tenshi.
Jumping out of the way, Tenshi used the explosion as cover. She
quietly went behind the gardivour's back and bit with a killer's
slice to the back of it's neck with her mega blade.
The Gardevoir dodged the attack, using a Moonblast against Tenshi
at point blank range. The Hariyama was still pretty far away, so it
decided to use Sand Attack as soon as it was sure the Gardevoir
wouldn't get hit.
Tanking the attack, Tenshi used the opportunity to use pursuit on
the gardivour, hitting it with a supereffective attack, while it
was briefly stunned, she sliced at it's neck, drawing blood, there
was no more doubt that she aimed to kill.
Hunter turned looked at Albafica and gave a small smile. "I can't
say much besides keep at it. You'll find what you're looking for
soon enough." He told the Miltoc gently. Then, with a sigh, he
turned back to watch the humans milling about. They were taking
notice of things now, which was probably a good sign.
4. It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
