Grace-"But I have a feeling this issue will be resolved, right Tasha?"

*She looks at Tasha, who's curled up, snoring ever so softly. Grace can only smile.*

*Kane smiles a bit as he covers his eyes*
Kane: Mind if I tag along then? Wouldn't want to miss the show.

*Sam gives him a quick wink.*
Sam-" Only if you can keep up, Kaneypoo."
*She disappears into a bolt of electricity, darting across the ground and off into the distance at a blinding speed. As she moves forward, even more of the world lights up, and stays lit. Mountains, dried rivers, the horizon becomes lit up by her light.*

*Kane frowns*
Kane: Aww you cheater.
*He quickly darts off in her direction*
((Think I'm gunna sign off for the night, night you guys~))

*There's a loud crack of thunder in the distance as something goes terribly wrong. It's all coming from the same direction Sam had run off in. With each crack of thunder, the light around Kane gets dimmer and dimmer, the darkness slowly replacing it all. Only a dim trail stays on the ground, burnt into it by the heat of the electricity.*

Golden Leaves
Because I am just this bored and it keeps playing out in my imagination like a broken record. Yes, I still know what a record is.

Gray tree stumps littered the badly scathed earth like ants to a picnic. In another time, they were a pleasant green and smelled of life. They had also lent the area a creepy aura, but not at all like this. Before one could take notice, the sounds of fleet feet seized the silence and refused to let go. Very much like a steady drizzle, these feet made gentle sounds that were almost refreshing because they shattered the silence like bricks being tossed at a window.

However, as suddenly as they started, the feet stopped. Whose feet? Why, none other than two traveling companion's feet. Please don't ever be ridiculous like this again. It really is silly. But I digress.

Yes, in the world as we know it today, it would be very strange for a psychic pink feline and a psychic half-human half-bushy rat to be traveling together. Ah, the wonders of a Pokemon world at its finest. Oh, but this is not at all how it is meant to be. This is not at all how it is meant to be, and both companions knew it.

Aline, our obligatory psychic feline, gave the surrounding area a sharp, cursory gaze. After she found nothing but an endless sea of the same shade of monotonous gray, the cat sighed. She had a hunch that a plant often used to give cooking more flavor, a golden leaf, would be located here, considering it was once a towering, sinister forest. And that's where important things seem to hide away to, much like the Time Gear that was stolen from the center of the forest well over a year ago. After she shook her head, Aline frowned, once again imagining what a large, green forest looks like, her eyes closed.

The second of our furry friends, the Shaymin named Ribbon, simply bounded ahead, indifferent to the danger. It was very possible that some wolf demons might have been hanging about still, but Ribbon payed no heed to the feelings of foreboding she had felt ever since the duo had come across the dead place. Rash, reckless, Ribbon was, most times, the Yang to Aline's Yin. However, Ribbon sometimes showed her caring side as well, but this happened so rarely that some claimed that side of her did not at all exist in the first place, that it was some form of ludicrous urban legend children came up with when they were dying of boredom. Naturally, it wasn't.

A fiery zephyr wailed across the barren badlands, snapping Aline right out of her reverie. She herself leaped deftly in an attempt to catch up with the smaller Grass-Type. All the while, the two kept a sharp lookout for anything gold and gaudy. They had assumed that it would be child's play to find something like that in such a world that was in general, monochromatic. Boy, were they ever wrong!

Seemingly endless hours passed until the Shaymin growled. Ribbon cursed their bad luck rather loudly, as she is wont to. When she had finally been struck by the large metal pole of realization, Ribbon repeated this action, albeit far louder and choosing her favorite four-letter word this time.
"WE'VE BEEN WALKING IN CIRCLES THE ENTIRE TIME!" Ribbon shouted, seemingly to herself. She stomped her feet in anger.
"It's fine, Ribbon, we can figure this out eventually..." the much more quiet Aline answered, heading toward the exit of the forest of tree stumps, if you could even call it that.
Stumped by this strange action, Ribbon questioned, "How if getting out of here going to help us get further inside?"
"This forest was always a strange place. I'm just saying that thinking outside the box will help us more than repeatedly taking the same path."
"If you say so, Aline...."

And so, the female psychic duo trudged on, hardly sharing a word other than the feline offering Ribbon some Oran Berry bread. When Ribbon had declined, they grew silent, excepting the soft sounds of their footprints. The journey had been far from fun;the landscape didn't change much on the way to these remains of Treeshroud Forest, and Aline doubted it would change much within it. Aline had left a letter behind before leaving, naturally, and she wondered if someone had bothered to pick it up and read it.... Either way, Aline's mind was everywhere and nowhere all at once before the two stumbled upon the gaudy leaves. Yup, they were right there, settled neatly upon a live stump, as if they were placed there.

Feeling a rush of excitement, Aline rushed over to the important cooking ingredient. But that failed as soon as she stepped in front of it. Before she knew it, Aline was dangling from a form of rope tied around her ankle. Strange how traps appear out of nowhere, huh?

Ribbon sighed, firing off an Air Slash at the tough rope. Needless to say, the blade of air sliced through the sturdy rope like a hot knife through butter, sending Aline tumbling down to earth again. The feline muttered a quick but sincere thanks before scooping up the leaves and sticking them in her satchel. Finally having achieved something, Aline felt the need to do a rather strange victory dance, and, oddly enough, by the time she was done, Ribbon joined in. The friends burst into laughter afterward;after such a tiresome journey, having accomplished something was a wonderful feeling. Finally, the two could head home. And so, they did.

Aline felt as if she could see the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel;however, they weren't out of the woods quite yet. The duo was almost out of the barren forest when they heard a howl. And another. And again. Each one grew gradually louder until the two felt the need to cover their ears and howl themselves.
"Wonderful, a goodbye party.... Aline, I can handle this pack of demon wolves," Ribbon grunted.
"Are you...?" Aline started to ask.
"Yeah, I'm sure. You got what you wanted, Aline;you should hurry and head back to the cave so everyone can enjoy your cooking now. I, however, want to spend a bit more time outside. I need to get away from the cave, you know?" Ribbon cut the rose cat off, charging another Air Slash for the pack of demonic wolves.
"Alright, Ribbon. Good luck, and be careful!" Aline shouted before vanishing after a flash of luminous pink light.

And that, my children, is how I will leave off this wonderful tale until tomorrow. ;)

*Deep in the volcano Lilly whos still chained down to the stone slab is now to weak to move. Theres an IV tubes in her leg which seems to be pulling something out of her. Though its pumping a strange black liquid into her. Theres an orb next to her which seems to be adsorbing her aura. Lilly's fur has begin to turn a gray color as more and more of the aura is drained and replaced by the black liquid. Hearing footsteps she slowly opens her eyes to see Demon Shadow enter the room with another bag of strange liquid. Unable to do anything she watches helplessly as Demon Shadow sticks another IV into her.*

*Shadow sits on Blaze's back holding onto Derek. She sighs rubbing Derek's head while thinking. She shivers a little as it starts to get colder. Though despite the cold shes noticed that some water sources as unfrozen. Wondering why she looks down towards the ground for prints but sees none. Frowning she looks back at the water in time to see a pair of red eyes before something quickly dive under. *

*Moonlight walks into Demi and Alex's room carrying a box. Noticing their asleep she sets it down next to them before quietly walking out. Inside the box is a cloak she made for Demi and a black gem that has the ability to absorb a small amount of darkness. Theres also a note in the box for them to read.*

*Blaze is looking down as he walks, still thinking about what Derek had said the night before*
Blaze: I'm splitting after we find Lilly...

*Shadow tugs on Blaze's ear.*

You don't have to, hes just protective of Lilly and wants whats best for her. I think he believes if he can scare you off he can keep you from hurting her like Shade did. *Theres a splash as what ever was in the water comes out.*

Blaze: Talk to him about this whole deathbringer thing, I really don't like being called that. What was done was done and I regret it all...
*His ears twitch and he looks towards the splash*

Lilly is being called that just try to ignore anyone who says that okay? It doesn't help any when you make death threats.

*Whatever came out of the water has ran into the trees. Its also left no footprints.*

Blaze: I'm sorry, but it just really ticks me off the he keeps calling us that, and I'm supposed to just take it.
*He glances back at her*
Blaze: You hearing that too?

Yeah I heard it wanna check it out real quick?

*He nods and walks towards the direction of the water he stops and glances about*
Blaze: Maybe something just fell in, there are no foot prints.

*Derek is still fast asleep in Shadow's arms, nibbling on her finger. Normally he would have woken up by now, but the lack of energy in his body is keeping him exhausted and knocked out.*

*The thunder in the distances has long since stopped. From Kane's position, only the dim yellow line of energy where Sam ran along is still left.*

*Alex is hanging upside down from a light fixture by his legs, looking down at Demi.*
Alex-" Fun?"

*Demi looks up at Alex and holds up a box.*

Demi: Gift! *She trys to get it open.*

Or it has flat feet letting it walk on top of the snow.

*Kane is walking along the line*
Kane: ...did she...?


*Blaze glances around*
Blaze: You sure? I don't smell any scent.

*Alex shrugs and drops down from the ceiling, landing on top of the box with a loud plop. He sticks his claw in the top and cuts it off, looking inside.*
._. Alex-" Clothes?"

I*ts my best guess. Think its another survivor? *A twig snaps nearby.*

*Demi pulls the cloak out and trys it on. It covers her enough to keep the light off her and the hood covers her face enough to keep it in the shadows so she doesn't burn.*

Alex-" Why do you get to wear it first? It was in our room, I get to use it too!"

*Sam is laid out in a deep crater contained within the mountains. She's cut, beaten, swollen, and bruised, but still seems happy, oddly enough.*
