Little Arle's beating on the inner walls of the Bulborb Belly had nearly no effect. There was not even any reaction sounding from outside as the creature continued to sleep. It was not even a rub this time as it was so weak. He remained asleep even as the little girl drained the insect's fluids. The liquid filled the squirter and has given her something that may be useful later and did stop the creature from using her as fuel... For now.

There is no telling when he will produce more of the stuff. It's hard to tell if draining it forever will really work. At least she was safe from the burning for now though. Now she just had to get out before he made more.

(You got Bulborb Acid! This liquid can burn through things with terrifying speed. It does 30% damage to a target and burns them.)

Little Arle smiled proudly at her results. She wasn't food, silly bulborb! She was a magician! Now that being digestified wasn't an immediate concern, Arle found that she no longer wanted to leave. She wanted some revenge. "It's so warm in here..." she whined softly as she pondered what to do. Then it occurred to her. "You asked for this, mister piggy..!" she warned before going to work on the inside of the Bulborb's belly. She first started off by casting a series of ice magic at the walls clinging to her. She wasn't even trying to get it to cough her up at this point, more just taking advantage of her current position.

3+4=7 (Arle's Ais Stoom; Does 5% Damage)
13+4=17 (Arle's Ais Stoom; Does 5% Damage)

She then bounced a little in anticipation before tapping into her bracelet and performing the world's most violent cannonball into the bottom of the bulborb's belly, sending a shockwave straight through it and potentially causing quite a bite of internal damage in the process.

18+6=26 (Arle's critical elephant king bracelet; Does 17% Damage)

The Bulborb continued to nap peacefully, blissfully unaware that it's food was no longer digesting. He was just happy no one was disturbing his nap. His meal was especially polite with making it more comfortable... Untill suddenly he woke up startled as he was suddenly extremely cold. Why was it so cold in this giant kitchen?! There did not seem to be a draft or anything.

And then the quakes in his stomach gave him an extremely painful tummy ache. So painful it actually hurt him so much he let off a shine until suddenly he was a life sized trophy... A hollow Life Sized Trophy Little Arle was still inside... Which made it very hot in there... Still, it is solid and looks extremely easy to crawl out of the mouth now and get back into the large kitchen of the temple.

[Mari]

Little Arle wriggled her way out of the Bulborb, standing on it's lip and stretching her limbs in triumph.

"Hope ya' didn' plan on havin' any dessert~!" she remarked before jumping off onto the ground.

Little Arle wasn't really bothered by any of what had just happened it seemed, but goodness knows those memories would contribute to the eventual and irreversible destruction of Older Arle's self-esteem later. You know, whenever that happened. Meanwhile, Arle moved to make her way forward across the barren expanse of kitchen, gazing around at her surroundings. "...I can't see a single thing from down here! Gotta get up high." she mused aloud, meandering around aimlessly in her search for a way to get up higher.

[Coolshaymin]

Arle decided to look for ways up after escaping the belly of the beast. There was surely some way to move around this trial easily. The chair was much too high to jump up to from here but there were other points to get higher up, or at least one would think. First, the door under the sink was cracked open a little now that there was time to notice. There was a dripping sound in there too... Was there a leak? There was also a large mousehole over near the Fridge. Maybe there was a way to get higher in there? Lastly, there was the flower that seemed to have nice equally spaced leaves. Perhaps one could climb higher up there?

[Mari]

Little Arle looked about ...Hmm... Well, those plants did look inviting--but memories of another time and place warned her not to trust plants. There was a mousehole, and mice always got wherever they needed to be! ...But she didn't want to actually find a mouse. Not at this size anyway. She was still enjoying fresh air! ...So maybe... Alright. That settled it. Arle dashed over at the speed of childlike wonder to the sink and bounced high into the air using her ribbit boots, settling onto the lip of the under-sink cupboard. She then began squinting in the no doubt poorly lit area, trying to get a good look around.

[Coolshaymin]

Figuring it was the least trapped, Arle decided to check out the Kitchen Sink. Inside the cupboard was indeed very dark but what could notably be noticed was a dripping into a pool of water... Yet something odd was the pool of water right in front of her. That would not stay a mystery for long however before the water would spring up and try to engulf Arle into the liquid and try and pull her in. She had to think fast or hold her breath if she did not want to instantly be flooded by the mysterious assilant.

(Little Arle! A seeming pool of water is trying to engulf you and pull you into the dark! Roll a 14 or higher in Dex to evade or be swallowed by a living bubble)

[Mari]

DoE4xhSgp_1d20+4 (Little Arle's Dodge)

Unfortunately for Little Arle, she wasn't expecting water itself to come to life and attack her. I mean honestly, what was that?! This was some ...Oh right. She regularly fought living jelly. Huh. Maybe she should've been expecting this? ...It was too late for second thoughts though, as Arle was pulled into the water with a shrill shriek. "Kyaaaa!"

...And then she was pulled into the water, flailing her arms wildly in a last ditch effort to pull herself away from the monster. It wasn't going so well for her, though.1d20+4

[Coolshaymin]

The water dragged her into the darkness of the cupboard. Only the light that shone in gave any sight. However, it would appear the bubble she became trapped in was not just water. It formed facial features in the water that looked similar to a Vaporeon in appearance. The bubble shifted as for some reason it did not seem to effect her eyes, to look at a piece of paper lying in the light. If she bothered to even try and read it, it would say something like:

"We came to this temple seeking treasure yet I can not find my way out. I should of brought something to eat but now is not the time for regrets. If someone finds this note and Aqua, I want them to help her get out of this temple."

As enough time was given to Arle, a face would roll back to look at the girl pleadingly.

(Roll a 14 or higher to burst the Vaporeon's bubble... or maybe there is another way out.)

[Mari]

Little Arle helplessly wiggled her arms in the water, attempting to regain some control over her movement. However, she was actually fully capable of breathing in the water and therefore did not panic. How this apparent vaporeon would feel about her liquefied body being inhaled into the girl's tiny lungs was another question entirely. No biggie, just drinking you a little. A little off the top never hurt nobody, right?

Little Arle's attention, however, was captivated by the note. She had a hard time reading it, given that reading--in general--was a bit difficult for her, but she seemed to get the general gist of what it said. Her attention shifted back to the face in the bubble and she smiled brightly at it, puckering her lips and playfully blowing a couple of bubbles at the vaporeon. She didn't seem to mind being inside the pokemon. In fact, she was having a bit of fun! It was questionable if she actually understood what was happening to her.

"Are you, uhm--..uh... ahgooa?" Little Arle asked, mispronouncing Aqua's name. Apparently she could talk underwater too.

[Coolshaymin]

"Vaporeon!" Aqua apparently replied cheerfully as her facial features spun around the bubble Arle was trapped in. It seemed she was joyed Arle figured out her name. Nor did she seem to mind that the girl was breathing her in at the moment. It was questionable how exactly the powers of a Vaporeon to liquidize worked. It would seem Arle found a friendly monster instead of a hungry one by dumb luck. Various areas of the bubble pulsed to generate a soothing yet cheerful song in rhythm... Whether Little Arle understood what was going on or not was up for debate. At least her current situation did not seem to hold any danger.

[Mari]

Little Arle wriggled about as she attempted to follow the spinning facial features. She liked looking at the vaporeon's face! She was only able to move about for a bit before the sensation of waves passing through her body drew her attention. Was that ... music? She didn't understand at all what was happening, and the sound water emitted was entirely foreign to her even with Older Arle's knowledge available, but she did appreciate the gesture. Little Arle reached out towards the vaporeon's face, making grabby hands at the pokemon. She wanted to pet the other, but couldn't quite manipulate herself enough to reach...

"That's really pretty, Ahgooa~ ...Where's your fwiend?" Little Arle asked.

[Coolshaymin]

The Vaporeon's face put on what one could interpret as a frown at Arle's question. The bubble of water lowered the little girl to the ground before breaking apart and splashing to the floor to free her. The dispersed water then moved to reform itself a distance away from Arle. This reforming though showed the water mass in it's true form. "Vapor..." Vaporeon looked down at the piece of paper in a sad looking state. Maybe that answers Little Arle's question though it could be open to interpretation.

[Mari]

Little Arle landed on her hand and knees, blinking a couple of times to rid water from her eyes before... sneezing! Arle sneezed a spray of water from her nose once and then twice, a mildly gross side effect of having been breathing water moments earlier. It had to get out somehow! The smol girl wrinkled her nose for a moment, seeming to have gotten most of the water out of her system. After a moment of recovering, Little Arle crawled over on her hands and knees towards Aqua and gave the note a quick look over before raising her gaze back up to Aqua. She seemed to consider her options for a moment before smiling at the vaporeon.

"My name's Arle. I'm hunting for treasure~! Wanna come wiff me?" Arle asked, unsteadily pushing herself back to her feet and wobbling a bit as she stood up. She then reached up to try and pet Aqua experimentally. "It'll be great! Then we can bofe get outta here together!" she went on to offer, momentarily distracted by the cute pokemon.

[Coolshaymin]

Aqua looked up at the little girl for a moment when she suggested to come with her. It was as if the Water Type was considering her options on the matter. Aren't you a little young to be a Pokemon Trainer? However, the Merfox did allow Arle to pet her and let out a "Vaporeon...~"

After it moved it's head back against Arle's hand for a while, Aqua suddenly jumped and danced around while saying it's species' name joyously. She then got close to Little Arle and rubbed herself against her to show it's gratitude. There was a broken pipe under this sink along with a bunch of various cleaning supplies. The dripping water seemed to be coming from the broken pipe.

Aqua the Left Behind Vaporeon has joined the party!
