The clouds reminded Fortem of his cloudy home in the Sky Kingdom.
He was beggining to miss the place... Fortem snacked on an oran
berry, then approached Azure. "Is there anything I can help with?"
He asked.
Winter ate his small morning meal and started walking out. "We
gotta make this quick so they don't leave without us, kay?" Meka
shrugged as if this didn't really matter to her, but it sure did
matter to him. Meka followed them as they started walking out of
the camp, in a different direction from the temple.
[Fortem]
“Judging from the instrument we got yesterday and the amulet...We
can safely say that they are important. Apparently the instruments
are used to weaken the influence of those of other worlds....”
Azure was tilting the parchment he got with the cello. It was
fairly old writing...
[Winter, Meka.]
Curiously...you could pick up Yung’s aura. He’s went this way. It
seemed to be towards the mountains...:
Fortem nodded, examining the parchment. "I have a few questions,"
He began. "First of all, are there any clues about the creatures
that attacked Lord Tempest, and do we know where he is? Also,
where's Yung?"
[Fortem]
“They come from space...I’d surmise they could be Ultra Beasts.”
Azure said. “Not much is known about them though...as for Yung...”
He sighed. “...I have no idea. He has left no clue as to where he
has gone
"Huh?" That was weird, Winter had never followed aura before. He
looked at Meka, who shrugged, and he decided to go that way,
following the aura. If there was a strange feeling, why not follow
it? He had a fearless mew following him, after all, plus he was
training to be a warrior.
Drew woke up from the grass after a long, restless sleep. He was
finally back to the group and stress free. He saw that Azure was
planning to expand out. Drew decided that he should first he had to
get some food for himself. He went over to some bushes to grab some
berries. “Heh, I’m glad to be back with the group.” He got some
berries and started eating. Drew heard about an amulet that they
got. Intrigued, he went over to Azure and Fortem. “Heya. I was
wondering what this amulet is. I wasn’t there when you got it...”
Fortem flicked his tail, and tilted his ear. "Weird, huh. Shouldn't
he be back by now?" Fortem's paws twitched, like they did when he
was worried. The lucario had been so kind and strong for the entire
group, and he didn't want anything bad to happen to him.
[Drew, Fortem]
“I have no clue either. We need more information.” Azure replied
softly to Drew. “There seems to be 8 pieces...”
He looked at Fortem. “So you’ve been getting a sinking feeling too
huh? I’ve picked up a little bit of aura that we could
follow...”
[Winter, Meka.]
A sinking feeling was arising within them...why?
"Umm... I guess I'll come if you want." Fortem was nervous, but he
meant what he said to Mewtwo yesterday: He was going to keep
trying. He got to his feet, and grabbed a berry for the road.
"Whenever you're ready, I guess."
Winter of course, didn't recognize that what he was following was
Aura, so the strange emotions confused and scared him, but he and
Meka still pushed on, toward the mountains, their walk had been
taken over by the strange occurrence, Winter could only hope the
others didn't leave them
"Sounds good, then." Fortem put on a brave exterior for now, and
padded towards Azure, feeling slight traces of what might be aura?
Fortem wasn't sure, but it had a 'vibe' to it; maybe it was like a
scent trail, but using emotions instead of smells. He comtempleted
this as he walked.
"So it had to be darkrai. Stealer of lunch money." Meka growled in
an uncharacteristic snarl at the dark pokemon. Time for that sweet,
long awaited revenge.
"You attacked the wrong Lucario..." Winter agreed, not quite
realizing the deep hatred in Meka's voice.
As they walked, Fortem scented something familliar... it was Meka's
scent? Odd... he also scented a smeel that gave him a cold
feeling... maybe the alolan vulpix from before. Why would they be
here? Fortem continued following Azure.
Fortem watched in horror as the Lucario he'd grown to respect so
much was struck down. He raced to his side. "Yung? Yung!" Fortem
began to hyperventilate as he began to examine the injured pokemon.
Meka's tail lashed. "I SWEAR YOU DEMON! REVENGE WILL BE SERVED ON A
SILVER PLATTER I WARN YOU!!" She screamed at the vanishing Darkrai
and cage, her rainbow aura radiating her hatred and rage, not
something she expressed often.
