"I know my name is Land but why am I the only one of us incapable of flight?" A green projection of Land whined next to the soaring and newly discovered Storm Forme. They flew up to the entrance to the volcano to wait for the others to arrive and help find the flower. "While, yes, we are indeed more mobile, you are much sturdier and resilient than us, Land. You play an important role in balancing our powers," Storm calmly replied before glowing jade as she landed and shrinking back down into Land's forme.

"You only say that because you can fly..." Shaymin pouted rather ironically before looking up at the ways ahead. She could not fly all the way up because there seemed to be something big flying around near the top. Besides, maybe it's best to not blindly go in a volcanoic cavern from the top... Well, the warmth was enough to invigorate her and cast her fears aside for the mom-

"Aaaaaaaaaaah!" The hedgehog lowered to the ground as a purple burst of energy burst out of her as her body turned a shade of purple for a moment. She then crumpled to the ground for a moment as she needed to regain her strength. "The... Pains... are getting worst... I hope that Guru has a cure on hand...." Shaymin muttered out to herself as she shakily got back to her feet. Her help should be here soon.

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

The only difference to this was that one of them was en-route thankfully due to a transport bird, which just passed overhead and something fell off -More like jumped off- and landed cat-like just 13 feet away from Shaymin, at least glad to get on the ground with her feet.


"So this is the Valley of death, reminds me of Tan Line Desert; but has a certain vibe to it... Just can't put my finger on it... the girl said to herself as she pondered while walking -a dangerous combination mind you- but stopped short of placing her foot down on what might be her client; which happened to be a pokemon... Though she didn't know that yet.

[Deleted]

He was late. Michael knew it. He knew because he hardly knew where he was going even when he asked directions. He also no longer had his scooter, wo he had to walk there. While he was walking, he did see a bird fly overhead. Whether or not it was a Pokemon or not was a mystery. At least he could spare Sylveon part of the trouble by keeping her in her Pokeball most of the walk.

After the others had been there for a while, Michael showed up. Upon seeing the small shrub like creature-which he was also uncertain of-and the strangely dressed girl, he fell forward,only avoiding a face plant with his forearms. After a moment, he lifted his head. "While I rest for a moment, who is this Shaymin I was supposed to meet?" he asked. Naturally, he assumed the girl, but now knowing he was in a completely different world now, there was no telling what this "Shaymin" person looked like.

[Coolshaymin]

Shaymin looked up as she recovered and noticed a bird flying overhead. Oh, that bird thinks it can get a taste of a sweet smelling hedgehog huh? Well, it has another thing-oh wait, it looked like it was dropping something off. Down came some strange girl with a long purple Ponytail. There was something off about her but Shaymin could not tell exactly what. She just showed some strange energy she was unfamiliar with...

Shaymin broke out of her thought when she noticed the girl getting dangerously close. The hedgehog stepped back and spoke up to the girl. "Hey! I'm right down here! So, you are one of the ones helping me or did you come for the sauna?" she asked looking up at the purple haired woman. Well, that was one person though she was not sure how she would help. She didn't seem to have any room for Pokeballs... Maybe it had something to do with the strange energy...

"... Where is the other guy?" Shaymin asked, tilting her head past Shantae and not seeing anyone. "Well, you both had air transport. Only reasonable the other would be slower to get here considering the climb," Storm's image materialized next to Land and spoke to her though no one else could see or hear her at the moment. "Hm... I guess so," Shaymin's telepathy went out to Shantae again though she was not thinking about that.

After a while though he got up there... and even though he definitely looked like a trainer, he clearly had no idea just who he was talking about. That was pretty annoying for the mythical beast. "We are Shaymin. I am kind of famous for Gratitude you know. I am Land, the cute little leader," Shaymin began before her body glowed yellow and she took on a new slightly taller form with a flower like hood. "And I am Storm. We would introduce Frost and Sky but they are currently dormant," Storm explained as she flied up above Shantae before glowing Jade and Land aimed to land on her head for a ride.

"Now, I will tell you when we are close to the Dragon's Ruby. We need to find it fast but I am sure it's in there somewhere. Let's get going!"

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

The moment the pokemon spoke, the girl could manage to pick up a few snippets of the dailouge.


"I might not have an associates degree in telepathic communication, but hearing you seems to be just like communicating with a genie from the genie realm." the girl said calmly as she bent down to look at the pokemon.

When the other client came and the pokemon introduced itself as Shaymin, it briefly took to the air and landed on the head of the girl, the girl simply stood up and and petted the hedgehog with a cautious hand.


"So you are my client, it is a pleasure to meet you, I'm Shantae." the young girl said in a calm manner, suprised that a pokemon would ride on her head.

[Deleted]

A being that can change form? That's interesting, Michael noted as he pushed himself onto his knees. "The first I've heard of you was when I was signing up for your little flower hunt. Just goes to show you that you never know what to expect in a strange world like this one," he pointed out. He pulled Sylveon's ball from his bag and opened it. "Vee~" Sylveon let out a yawn as she stretched as if having just awoken from a nap. "I'm Michael, and this is my Pokemon partner, Sylveon," Michael introduced themselves.

He then turned his attention to the girl. had he been aware of Shaymin being a Pokemon, he would assume the girl to be the Shaymin's trainer. Speaking of...

"So who are you? Some kind of trainer?" Michael asked the girl, not entirely understanding the concept of fighting without the use of Pokemon.

[Coolshaymin]

Shaymin stepped back in surprise at the boy's comment. He doesn't recogonize her?! She was known in regions far and wide along with the Gracidea Flower! How was he possibly not aware?! She stood up and stared angrily at Michael. "I am from your world! I'm a Pokemon with myths and legends about me! How could you possibly not of heard about me?!" Shaymin called out as her pride was stung a bit by such an ignorant child. Seriously, trainers these days have some nerve.

"Ahem. Anyway, it's a pleasure to meet you two, Shantae. Though I have no idea what a genie is..." Shaymin replied as she calmed down a bit from her initial uproar. "We should get moving though, I don't want to waste too much time out here. Let's head into the volcan-ooooooooooooo-?" Shaymin broke off as something cold touched her nose... What was that? Soon it was followed by more white specs in the air that turned into water as they touched a surface. "... Is that... snow?" Land asked in confusion at the unusual weather. "It would appear it is," Storm confirmed in Shaymin's mind.

If there's snow at a volcano... Then that means... "We have to get moving now! They are already here and are probably after the flower too!" Land commanded as she motioned towards the volcano's entrance.

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

"I think you got the wrong idea there kiddo, besides the point do you even see what you even carry on my person? Nope, I'm a half-genie. And Shaymin, i think this guy might have come from a region that is not part of your worlds canon, I can feel the presence of something quite wrong with one of his creatures." Shantae said calmly, but before continuing, snow started falling.

"I agree that we should keep moving, no point trying to stop now. Unless monsters impeded our progress." Shantae added, begining to head towards where the quest objective might be.

[Deleted]

In responce to Michael being yelled at by Shaymin and feeling insulted by Shantae, Sylveon start growling at the duo, but mostly at the latter. Yeah, Shaymin's definitely not worth catching, mythical Pokemon or not, Michael thought. "(Tell me, just what, exactly is wrong with me?)" Sylveon asked. And she had woken up in a good mood too.

"Uh, excuse me, but I'm from Orre. Not exactly a lot of myths or legends about Shaymin, just Celebi, Ho-oh, and a few about Jirachi. And, Shantae wasn't it? Whatever sixth sense you seem to have must either clearly be out of whack or simply not exist, because Sylveon is my only Pokemon these days, and the only thing wrong with her at the moment is that she's angry with Land for yelling at me for something that I simply can't be blamed for, which she would probably be willing to overlook, and Shantae for implying that something was wrong with her," Michael pointed out bluntly in perfect monotone.

Sylveon promptly stopped growling and stared speechless at her trainer. It was not everyday he offered more than a couple sentences, and here he was pointing out exactly why she was angry while explaining to Shay why he would not have heard of her. Michael turned to Sylveon. "Or am I wrong?" he asked. "(And who says humans can't understand Pokemon?)" Sylveon commented. Before either of the offenders could even attempt to apologize, Sylveon looked up as she felt snow hit her back.

Snow? That is not a good sign, Michael thought, which Land quickly confirmed while he remembered the flower grew in hot areas, as he got back to his feet. "Two questions, who are 'they', and you want that flower for a better reason besides collecting it, right?" Michael asked as he and Sylveon, the latter of which seeming to have forgotten her anger, began following the Mythical Pokemon and genie (whatever that was) up the mountain.

[Coolshaymin]

"... Orre?" Shaymin repeated, the region's name not ringing any bells for her. Huh, maybe she misread this kid. Though her opinions of trainers still weren't too high she did make a mistake... Not whatever strange mistake Shantae was making up, but still, a mistake. "I guess I never heard of your region either. Sorry, I shouldn't of snapped at you. This illness is really getting to me..." Land apologized... Though not thinking to explain the illness she had. In the cave was a magma filled cavern but notably it was very off. Probably because the lava was frozen solid and the temperature was oddly cold.

"... That guy has some serious power... Way more than I thought..." Shaymin noted to herself and those around her. "Starting heading towards that door to the right," Shaymin instructed. "Back when I was getting the Frostvine, a pair of Ice Types was there to stop me with some weird grudge. One was Chill the Froslass, she freezed whoever trespassed up there and stuck them in the cave. Her friend and leader of the two is Frost the Glaceon. He  is capable of freezing the air in a matter of seconds and was a pain to deal with. He seemed to be more against me than his friend. I don't know why they want the flowers but there is a guru that is said to only meet those that passes his trials and collects the three elemental flowers. There is apparently nothing he does not know so he must have a cure. The flowers also seem to possess their own formes like the Gracidea Flower which surprised me," Shaymin explained.

As soon as the door opened to the next room, a beam of pure cold shot itself at Shantae with only a flash of reaction time. After the Ice Beam was fired, in the room was a Glaceon and Froslass waiting to see if something was still there.

(Shantae! Frost is firing a surprise Ice Beam at you! Roll a 15 or higher in Wisdom to evade. Otherwise you take 18% damage with a 50% chance to freeze)

WIS ROLL: 5-3=2{that ROLL is about as stale as chuggaaconroy's hilariously bad puns...}
ROLL for freeze resist(str): 3+1=4{bad luck with d20 rolls, especially when you post via smartphone...}

Shantae took the hit despite not being aware of her surroundings. Though it was something to see Shantae slightly shivering from the sneak attack.

"Brr... Who opened the freezer door in this place!?" Shantae said as she looked around for the perpetrator of the attack, despite looking like a human popsicle...

{meh, short post. What can you do?}

[Deleted]

"I'm just going to assume Glaceon is another evolution of Eev-" Michael was cut off by the sound of Shantae flash freezing in front of him. "Sylveon, use Heal Bell and Misty Terrain," he told the Fairy-Type with his voice low. First, bells appeared around Sylveon that seemed to instantly begin thawing out Shantae with the power of their chimes. Next, a sparkly pink mist spiralled outward from her position, covering the ground.

It would seem that Michael's only Pokemon was actually perfect for the mission at hand. First, Heal Bell heals Status conditions like Freeze, and then MIsty Terrain prevents them. Let's find them and see what they try next, Michael thought as he began looking around.

Cooldown: Heal Bell and Misty Terrain (3 turns)1d20+2

[Coolshaymin]

Michael could quickly spot that the source of the Ice Beam came from the ice like fox in the other room. Him and his ghost like companion pushed past Shantae's frozen body with the way to the next room solidifying into a thick ice wall behind them. The mist that Sylveon set up started to turn a bright blue as well as the room suddenly got a whole lot colder. Shaymin was expecting this since Frost has shown many times his control over temperature and water molecules and was glad she was on safety of the unfrozen half-genie.

(Misty Terrain has been modified into Chilling Mist! Dex Mods are lowered by one for all that are effected by Misty Terrain except for Frost and Chill)

(Trying to set up a way to avoid being frozen. Clever but I am stronger. We do love the cold though so the help is appreciated,) Frost remarked to the Sylveon rather smugly before looking up at Shaymin. (I'd knew you come. This won't be like last time. You won't catch me off guard again.) He continued in Pokemon.

"I still don't get what your issue with me is. I have never even met you before the ice caves," Shaymin questioned as she looked down at the colder mist. Glad she was not down there. "And you never will understand. You may of showed mercy before but we have no intention of doing the same for you. I hope you realize this," Chill sent out telepathy to the others in a cold and emotionless way. "Yeah... I get it..." Land replied in a rather regretful tone.

(Now that we are together we can show you our true power of teamwork,) Frost declared. Suddenly a rather ominous feeling wind blew through the air that swiftly got turned into a rather chilling wind by the combined powers of the Glaceon and Froslass. The air was cold enough to chill bone and the natural properties of the wind were dreadful. Thankfully, the mist still seemed to ward off any adverse effects it seemed to have.

(Roll a 13 or higher in DEX to evade the Chilling Wind Combination Attack between Frost and Chill. If failed, this attack deals 16% damage. This move also targets everyone.)

OFlqmWCCp_1d20-2(Shaymin's Dodge)

Shaymin jumped off Shantae's head with a yellow glow consuming her body as she took to the air, deciding to avoid the mist as much as possible even if it meant being unable to be hit with the statuses. In a flash, Storm took control as it was going to be important to start storing some Storm Charges. (Wait... You aren't the other...?) Frost started in confusion. "Is that a new forme?!" Chill was also quite surprised. Storm used their confusion to charge up the energy before sending a razor sharp wind hurtling at the two to cut through the mist and slam into them.

p_1d20+4

The wind cut into both Chill and Frost and sent them rebounding back and taking heavy damage from the powerful attack. Their surprise really left them off guard but they regained their composure and got ready to strike back. Now they were going to get more determined.

Frost the Glaceon
Damage: 26%
Shield HP: 60%
Status: Normal

Chill the Froslass
Damage: 26%
Shield HP: 40%

(Chilling Mist is in effect while Misty Terrain is. DEX for everyone on the ground is lowered by 1 for as long as Misty Terrain is active excluding Frost and Chill.)

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

"thanks for the save, kiddo." Shantae said as she shivered slightly, giving the Sylveon a pay on the head as a show of thanks, her eyes giving Frost the Glaceon a piercing glare that can make even a filthy cheap shot opportunistic creature nightmares. "That was not very nice, you might have more control over ice but it hardly compares to your surroundings, trust me I know because I've been in a volcano and an obligatory lava filled dungeon once before. I wonder if you and your cohort can say the same thing without being cocky?" Shantae said calmly as she stood back up to examine the surroundings a bit more, then looked back at the ice Fox with the intent to possibly spook it.
ROLL for Shantae giving Frost the look(CHA): 10+5=15{This is the intimidation roll}

Shantae would still attempt to dodge the combo attack:
DEX ROLL: 12{assuming that the chill mist is only affecting modifiers, Shantae having a +1 in Dexterity would be cancelled out. And that is not accounting the main bubble shield}
Her dodge attempt may have ended in failure and winced in pain as she got hit. Shantae began taking advantage of her situation almost immediately via setup strategy via her Genie Magic and her favorite beverage.
WIS ROLL: 16-3=13{Shantae ups her Dexterity modifier with but a single wish, bringing her DEX mod back to normal albeit temporarily for three turns}
CHA ROLL: 6+5=11{nothing tastes better than Monster Milk; +2 STR for three turns.}

Shantae then leapt right into action by leaping into the air and drawing out a shiny metal blade in the form of a cutlass and divebombed frost with near terrifying speed.
STR ROLL: 20+1+2(mm)=23{Frost gets hit by a critical downward sword strike of cheap shot punishment! 12% dmg}

Cooldown on wish and monster milk: 3 turns
HP: 86%{current}/120%{threshold}

Sylveon beamed up at Shantae at being patted. It would seem the previous offense was smoothed over. Okay, we didn't have Misty Terrain back home, and even if we did, I'm pretty sure this wouldn't be a thing, Michael thought as the mist turned frigid.

7-1=6 (Michael's dodge)
18+1=19 (Sylveon's dodge)

Michael was unable to avoid the combo attack. Sylveon faired much better, dancing around the attack. "I'd try to catch them if there were more of us, and I had more empty Pokeballs, but at this moment, they're probably more trouble than they're worth," Michael pointed out. "(You're actually pretty cute,)" Sylveon said to Frost with a wink. "Would you kindly stop flirting with the enemies?" Michael asked, having caught sight of Sylveon's wink. Sylveon rolled her eyes. You're just lucky I don't know Attract, she thought. "(Do you really think that my Misty Terrain only stops you from freezing us? I happen to have a wind attack of my own!)" she told Frost. She whipped up two waves of wind, sent flying at her icy counterpart, empowered by the magic of her earlier Misty Terrain.

16+2=18 (Sylveon's Fairy Wind! Deals 20%)
20+2=22 (Sylveon's critical Fairy Wind! Deals 30%!)

"Sylveon, follow up with Moonblast!" Michael ordered. Sylveon then fired a blast of energy at Frost.

20+2=22 (Sylveon's critical Moonblast! Does 18%!)

It would seem that, despite the Chilling Mist, the odds were still in the group's favor. I may not be able to do much, but they've got another thing coming if they think taking me out will make us any easier to defeat, Michael thought.
