When Shantae reached the shoreline, she would revert back to her humanoid form, her mind focused on other matters at the moment, and if Evanora and Justine looked out the window, they would most likely be seeing her going into the other town so as to not spook the residents of Greyiron as any of the creatures, however her Shadow had long since vanished, not because of their shenanigans, but because of the magical interference, though it would return as a monstrous Shadow, one that lingered as Shantae walked into Greyiron. Before turning and giving Flora Em and the castle therein a malevolent glare; then turning to vanish like dust in the wind.

One thing was certain... That glare was not that of a normal dragon.

"Now I know how an anaconda feels when it takes a refreshing dip in water." Shantae said, helping the girl get Tani to a place where she could rest.

Charizard touched down as soon as the ground was beneath him, looking around to ascertain his surroundings. The girl had been picked up by another human, he saw, and he stomped after Shantae as well.

Without even a cursory warning, he thrust his head forward and tried to examine both Tani and the new girl. Was this girl good? Was the only intelligent person he and Shantae met alright? Either way, though, he wouldn't move to strike out, and would assist if asked to.

Unfortunately the two were too late in stopping the girl from reaching the gate with Tani as it had already closed when the two got there. The gate had bars which the two would see the girl carrying Tani in the normal looking kingdom of Greyiron, were there was citizens who looked like donkeys, doe and even deer, walking about going through their day like the citizens of Flora Em. However this time, the weather was more... Brighter then in Flora Em.

"Halt!" Called one deer guard from the top of the gate. Should Charizard and Shantae look up they would see the deer guard in silver armour, along with another guard, who was a doe, wearing similar armour.

"You are at the entrance of the Kingdom of Greyiron. Are you two foreigners from the Summerlands?" One of the Guards asked. The two pointed down their spears, although it wasn't cautiously at Shantae and Charizard seeing as how they looked like... Animals, so they might be ok.

"You must also tell us that if you're infected with that horrible starvia disease. If you are then we cannot let you enter these grounds by orders of King Alar and Queen Ymmal for the protection of the citizens." The guard continued.

"We'll let you in if you just tell us you're not infected and that you're foreigners. Since you two will likely get an easy pass due to the fact that you're not humans." The second guard said, ironically given the fact that Shantae was half genie, but how her and Charizard would handle the situation is up to them.

As unfortunately the girl has already vanished from their view with Tani, she was somewhere in Greyiron.



Maybe she went to that large castle up ahead near the other side of the kingdom, likely where the mentioned King and Queen live.

It would also come to the surprise to the duo that the kingdom seems to already be aware of the Starvia as well.

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

"Now that you mention it, you could say that a Half-Genie and a species native to Pokémon Cove that come from the Life Sphere are foreign to you. So yes in a sense for foreign, no to being affected or infected by the Starvia." Shantae said, she was slightly perturbed that she spoke quite calmly.

She then pulled Iblis's Scimitar out and used it to remove the collar from around Charizard's neck, allowing it to know that she didn't like something like that on a Pokémon, even if it was docile and a tame creature that saw everything as a potential challenge for it to conquer in order to establish itself as the hot-blooded apex mon in the area.

After putting Iblis's Scimitar away, the magical interference had reached it's peak, Shantae knew this and followed the path to the castle, but rather than enter, having had a bad experience with being teleported out of Flora Em and falling in the ocean by Evanora, she would take a seat outside, allowing the Magical Interference to ebb away bit by bit to ensure it didn't become a massive problem for the people of Greyiron.

As Shantae spoke, Charizard nodded in time with what she was saying, and then flinched as she freed him from the chain, cvlaws flying up to grasp at his neck. Having no other choice, he rumbled out a thank-you...he was wondering how he'd manage to get it off.

He also made his way to the castle, pausing as Shantae stopped for a moment to rest. He momentarily lowered his head to her and pointed his about at the castle. He was going on ahead, but he wasn't going to force a resting fighter to come.

Thus, he approached the castle, curious about their knowledge. This would be way easier, these people already seemed more sane...hopefully they wouldn't try and dump him in the ocean again.

The two guards eyed Shantae, not very much to Charizard since he seemed alright. "You're a half-genie? You don't look like one." The two guards shrugged and proceeded to open the gate to allow Shantae and Charizard into the kingdom.

"Regardless, you two seem alright, so feel free to enter Greyiron. Be careful and don't do anything shifty... Or else." The guards warned Shantae and Charizard. Once they entered they would find citizens that were donkey, deer and doe folk, similar to the two guards. They were going about there day, although some of them happily waved past Shantae and Charizard, welcoming the two to Greyiron.

Up ahead, the royal castle was there. Shantae and Charizard could go there to investigate it and whether or not the girl had taken Tani there, or they can simply ask around the citizens of the town for more information about the girls.

They couldn't of gone that far and they stand out, since they were the only two humans in the kingdom so far.

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

Shantae made a mental note to herself not to do anything of the sort, and once the magical interference dissipated, she would follow Charizard into the castle.

"I wonder what this King and Queen are like, and if they are planning to escape this place so as to avoid becoming corrupted by the Starvia." Shantae said to herself, not going anywhere outside of the hall unless it was to go to the bathroom. "If Evanora were to care about her own safety, she should stop what she is doing and leave the island altogether, otherwise things could get very ugly very fast." Nega-Shantae would say without a second thought, to which Shantae would have to agree that her inner demon had a very legitimate point.

Pokemon that he was, Charizard nodded at Shantae's wondering. Surely they knew it spread, and one couldn't fight it for long. He himself had silent hopes that they had some form of transportation, he didn't want to be used as the pack mule of rescuees just to make sure they actually got to the Life Sphere.

"(They better not be another batch of idiots.)" Charizard grumbled under his breath, needing to put his discontent into words, shallow, unheard words, but still. Anything but being thrown out a second time and leaving these people to their fate. Pokemon Cove might be in danger if there was an explosion of Infected out of nowhere!

With these thoughts spinning, Charizard proceeded into the castle.

Arriving at the castle, Shantae and Charizard would be easily allowed in, only getting a few nods from the soldiers that were patrolling outside of the kingdom. There was solders everywhere, including the room where a female voice can be heard talking to someone through the other side of the door.

"I found her like this, unconscious near the kingdom." The girl's voice said to a male's also in the same room.

"Well, the good news is, she doesn't appear to have any wounds, so she probably fell and knocked herself out. It was lucky that she had managed to even get washed up here, or not get attacked by... Whatever's outside this region now." The Man said. Should Shantae and Charizard enter the room, they would find the same girl from earlier, talking to a doe in a doctor's uniform.





With Tani lying in a bed nearby, still knocked out as the Woman and Doctor turned and gasped.

"Huh, who are you... Do you know this girl?" The Girl with brown hair asked curiously. 

"You two don't look like you belong here, are you?" She asked a similar question.

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

"You might said that. In fact we came here from the Life Sphere. Shantae said with politeness in her words, her eyes on Tani out of concern. "I hope she'll be alright, we might need all the help we can get in trying to ensure a safe evacuation of this island before trouble comes along in the worst way possible." she added, aware of Evanora at this point.

It was at this point that the magical interference became lighter, almost as if a burden had been lifted off her shoulders, a burden that said it was about ready to be unleashed when the time was right.
