Sham found the snow leopard lounging in the shade of a tree, staring lazily out at the rest of the group. [ Hey. ] Flurry merely flicked an ear in response, and that was enough to send him over the edge. He needed something to direct his frustration at, and his brother who had been acting too good for everybody else for a while now was the right target. [ What's wrong with you? Too good to even talk to me anymore? ] Flurry was of course immediately defensive. [ I'm just thinking. You should try it sometimes instead of yapping every little thought. ]
Sham growled. [ Oh yeah, like what? ] Flurry growled right back. [ Important stuff. Stuff you wouldn't get. ] He lifted his head a bit. [ You haven't even evolved yet. ] Flurry flexed his claws, gouging out little piles of dirt.
Sham roared and launched himself at Flurry, his small body trembling with emotion. Flurry snarled and rolled, flinging Sham to the side. He slid to his paws, eyes narrowed, and then he pounced. Without thinking, the wispard attacked to win, swiping at Sham's flank with claws extended. The hardened scales under Sham's fur caught the sharp claws and he went flying. [ Pah, Flurry spat before slinking away. If it hadn't been for Sham's scales, he could have accidentally done serious damage.
Sham scrambled to his feet, growling to himself as he watched Flurry stalk away. He just felt like things were slipping away and changing and he didn't know what to do at all. He just wanted to lash out and...and...bite something! So he did.
"Ow. I take it you're okay then." Sham realized the thing he'd bitten the moment he saw it was Arezu's hand. He opened his mouth and backed away. The yucky taste on his tongue didn't make his stomach twist nearly as much as the sight of the deep bote on Arezu's hand. Blood was oozing out slowly. "He, it's okay, it's okay," Arezu said. With a start, Sham realized he'd been whining.
Sham jumped when she sat down next to him. He looked from her face to her hand, sure that she must be in more pain than she was letting on. But Arezu had expected as much, and though it hurt like a b***h she knew that reacting the way Sham expected would somehow push him further away. "You're worried about being left behind." she stated. Sham growled to hear it said so matter-of-factly.
"It's just because you haven't been training. .. I could help, you know. If you'd let me."] Sham shifted huffily, facing away from her. Nope, he didn't need help at all. They'd always been just fine, just him and Flurry and big sis Shiisa and Suicune. And now Chifaera and Gekkit. "Look, I'm a stray too. Turns out Suicune picked me up just like you and Flurry and Shiisa." Something inside Sham could sense the edges of the melancholy within Arezu as she said it. "It was just me and Hakuren for a long time. Probably. And I thought I only needed him, but I dunno, I never would have met Shiisa or Ai or Hikaru."
Arezu sighed. She didn't even know how she felt exactly about things, yet here she was trying to persuade this pup to stop hating her guts. "What I'm trying to say is, we're family. You now better than anything you can choose family." She blew out a breath, groaning softly. "So. You can either stay the way you are, and that's fine. But if you want, we could work together. You could get stronger. And honestly, I need your help with Flurry. I'm worried about him, and I think you're the only one that he'll listen too." At that statement Sham looked at her as if to ask, "But what about Suicune?" For a moment they stared at each other. Then Arezu snorted, and Sham coughed, and they were both laughing. Because Suicune was an a** who never did things for you and had to be cryptic and roundabout in everything.
Suicune, who could hear everything they were saying very easily than you, thought smugly to himself that why yes, and that didn't seem to ever work, hmm?
Sham scrambled to his feet, growling to himself as he watched Flurry stalk away. He just felt like things were slipping away and changing and he didn't know what to do at all. He just wanted to lash out and...and...bite something! So he did.

Suicune, who could hear everything they were saying very easily thank you, thought smugly to himself that why yes he did do that, and that didn't seem to ever work, hmm?
Now that Arezu had seemed to reach an agreement with Sham, she needed to see to her hand. Celebi helped a bit, and she wrapped the rest with a bit of athletic tape. Not the best solution but it would do for now.
After a few squeezes and testing of her hand Arezu decided she was fine and stood up to address her pokemon. Well, pokemon and whatever suicune was now. Speaking of suicune, the a** had apparently wandered off while she wasn't looking. He had taken Shiisa with him, and when he waltzed out of the woods without the big dog in tow Arezu frowned.
"You-" she stopped herself with a frustrated sigh. Anything she scolded him with would just be met with a knowing "who, me?" smile, she was sure of it. Instead she jumped straight to the blunt question, "Where's Shiisa?" Suicune's returned shrug was highly suspicious. "Hmm, I saw her around here somewhere..."
Arezu sighed, went ahead and told everyone else the game plan, which was to go to a different region, get supplies and figure out somewhere to hide if they needed to. At some point she'd need to figure out what exactly she was up against, how far flung these crazies were, how motivated they were to catch her. In the meantime she had a plan with Sham to get him some training that would hopefully end with having both him and Flurry clearly on her side. Given that she might be one person against many she'd need all the help she could get. Just relying on Suicune and Celebi wasn't an option.
At that moment a loud roar echoed from the direction of the lake. The fierce sound dragged into a howl, which Sham joined enthusiastically after getting over his initial confusion. Arezu noted his wagging tail and assumed there was no danger near. That roar had sounded a bit like Shiisa, but something about it seemed more...fierce than before.
When Shiisa leaped into the clearing, eyes bright and fire curling around her lips, Arezu immediately looked to Suicune. To which he responded with a "who, me?" look. Somehow, Shiisa had obtained draconic qualities...Sham was over the moon. "All of us wish to protect you in these trying times. Shiisa has merely manifested the strength to help in this way," he said, unhelpfully answering the question Arezu hadn't asked yet. The girl wasn't going to look a gift dog in the mouth though.
With that sorted, Arezu just had to figure out where to go. At some point she'd want to get Hikaru some training with aura. Maybe she could drop Hikaru off at Shalour.. It was too bad Arezu hadn't made any friends to help her. The only human she'd come close to befriending was Avikna, and somehow she doubted the girl would appreciate being dragged into this.
Well, I've got the first two badges from Kanto. Probably as good a place to start as any. It would get her out of Sinnoh for a bit, and a third gym sounded like a good proving grounds for Sham. Build up a little confidence through the gym battle, and maybe the little lupup would be able to help her turn Flurry around before it was too late.
Her decision made, she gathered up her pokemon and released Tanjoubi. His bright colors might stand out a bit, so she pressed a crystal shard to his side so at the very least he wouldn't be exactly what those creeps were looking for. She had already mentioned worry about trackers on or in them earlier, to which Suicune had creepily replied that he'd already taken care of that. Wtf Suicune.

☆ ☆【The sun at their back and miles of ocean around them, Piper kept flying for what was probably at least a couple hours or so. Even though Noiverns were pretty swift and adept flyers, an extensive inter-regional trip really took some serious stamina. Still, Piper didn’t stop to rest once, figuring they could do that once they actually got to where they were heading. Zoey watched as large continental landmasses loomed in the distance, and much smaller ones dotted the waters below them as they soared overhead. She swore she could vaguely recognize the Sevii Isles among the numerous little islands, though it was hard to really make out much of anything past their shapes with how high up in the skies they were. The GPS function on her Xtransceiver helped them to keep track of where they were and keep them from getting lost along the way, and soon a large landmass loomed into view just up ahead. Checking her map, Zoey confirmed that it was indeed Sinnoh that they were coming up on, directing Piper to fly a bit lower so they could come in for a landing. They came down towards a large lake in the middle of a lush looking deciduous forest, Piper touching in to land about a couple yards away from the lake’s banks. After flying for so long she could feel the fatigue starting to really catch up with her now, even though the closest town was still a good ways away.
”This looks like a good place to rest for a bit,” Zoey remarked as she dismounted, taking a deep breath and getting a taste of the crisp, cool air around them. After being in Alola for so long, it felt pretty refreshing to be in a place like this again, almost felt like home back in Hoenn between the cooler weather and the abundance of non-tropical plants growing in the area. ”Ya alright there, Pipes? We’ve been flyin’ for quite some time,” she asked, turning her attention towards the Noivern, ”Might be best to just rest n’ relax for now, it should be easy enough for us to just walk to the nearest town from here.” She quickly checked her Xtransceiver to confirm their exact location, apparently they had landed in Lake Verity, with Twinleaf Town to the south and Sandgem to the east and both easily within walking distance. Piper was more than happy to agree with that proposal, any further and she might’ve just crash landed from sheer exhaustion alone.
”It is very nice here… Reminds me of Brooklet Hill a little,”Orpheus said, admiring the glassy blue surface of the lake. He could make out the shape of a land mass jutting out from the center of the lake, what seemed to be a rocky island that housed a cave… He wondered if anything lived in there, the island seemed like it could easily be accessible if one could swim or surf across to it. Tempting as it was to ask Freya if she could carry him across given the chance, the Zoroark felt that maybe it was better to just leave it well enough alone for now. ”Well, suppose while we’re here we can have ourselves a lil’ snack break, seems like the perfect place for a picnic~” Zoey suggested, opening up her bag to retrieve the malasadas they’d grabbed on the way out of Konikoni. s**t… she just realized she’d completely forgotten to grab some more weather appropriate clothes before they’d left, or at least a jacket for more cold weather areas. Although, maybe that wouldn’t be necessary right now, it honestly felt pretty mild here aside from being much cooler compared to the perpetual warmth of Alola. And she did still have that coat that came with her Halloween costume too, probably not the best choice for colder places but otherwise it should suffice for now. She could just buy a winter jacket when they got to a city here, no big deal, right?
Pulling out the heavy bags full of food, Zoey gestured for Orpheus and Piper to help themselves to what they wanted while she called out everyone else. Pulling out the thick jacket from her costume and carefully spreading it on the grass below to form a makeshift picnic blanket, she pulled out every single Pokeball she had on her person and let out the rest of her team as well as the Abra and Oranguru she’d gotten from Tay. ”C’mon out, everyone! Snack time!” she called out, some of the Pokemon looking curiously around at their apparent new surroundings while others were fixated on the smell of food wafting from the bags. Within minutes everyone had grabbed their share of malasadas and had settled in around their makeshift picnic site to chow down and mingle, though the Abra decidedly kept its distance from the others as it stayed somewhat closer to the Oranguru.”Here, little one,”the monkey gently coaxed, pulling out a couple of the malasadas using its telekinesis and offering one to its smaller companion. Somewhat skeptical of the food, the Abra tentatively accepted the hunk of what seemed to be stuffed rounded bread and began to eat as well, discovering with pleasant surprise that it was filled with a sweet, fruity jam of some kind.】☆ ☆

☆ ☆【There was something about the area here, maybe it was the calm air, the greenery that surrounded them, or maybe the sounds of water lapping against the banks of the lake, but Zoey felt very at peace here… Biting into the sweet fruit donut she held in one hand, she allowed herself to recline a little as she shifted into a more comfortable position atop her coat-blanket. Piper stayed closer to her while they all relaxed and ate, the Noivern curling her tail around the woman as she lay somewhat half on the coat and half off, contentedly munching on her own malasada while Zoey stroked her mane. Hildegard and the Ryuushu decidedly stayed close to the woman as well, the Aviron watching protectively over their surroundings just in case while the fan-tailed fox spread the scent of floral incense around the general area to help keep the atmosphere calm. ”Y’know, I’ve been thinkin’, but how does Sigurd sound for a name to ya?” she asked, directing the question towards the Ryuushu since he was the only Pokemon among her team that hadn’t been nicknamed yet.
”Hmm… It certainly sounds rather unusual and a bit foreign for my kind, but I will accept it nonetheless,”he replied smoothly, tilting his head towards her with a toothy smile,”So long as you are pleased with it, then I suppose I shall be as well.”Zoey nodded in agreement, she was pretty happy with it considering her Norse was pretty rusty and it was probably as close as she’d get to a name with a more ‘sagely’ flavor to it that matched the fox’s calm demeanor and wisdom. As they continued making small talk and eating, however, they hadn’t yet noticed that their little picnic had drawn the attention of something else. Hildegard’s ears flattened upon seeing a Pokemon nearby that hadn’t been there a moment ago, sitting just a bit of a ways away from the group as it watched them curiously and hungrily eyed the bags of food sitting in the center between them. Letting out a warning hiss to draw Zoey’s attention to what could be a potential threat, the woman glanced over to see what it was that had the Aviron on edge. She blinked upon seeing… an Arcanine? Well, it looked like an Arcanine, but its appearance just… wasn’t quite right compared to a normal one of its species. For one, its fur was a bright blue instead of the typical orange… And Zoey could make out even more oddities the strange dog sported like a small horn on its forehead, a round blue jewel jutting out from the fur on its chest, the wing-like protrusions at the base of its tail, and its wide, glassy red eyes that were staring meaningfully at her.
”Uh, hey there,” she called out, just loud enough for the dog to hear her while hopefully not scaring it off, ”Are ya lost? Did ya need somethin’?” The strange blue Arcanine’s ears perked at being addressed, and much to Zoey’s relief and disbelief instead of immediately bolting it chose to actually move a little closer to them. Maybe this Arcanine wasn’t wild then… did it perhaps belong to a trainer? And if so, where were they? She expected another person to come barreling out from the woods calling for their runaway Pokemon, yet nothing of the sort happened as the seconds ticked by...”It seems she’s hungry, perhaps it wouldn’t hurt to share some of our food,”Sigurd suggested, having noted how the Arcanine kept alternating her gaze between the woman and the bags on the ground,”She might be a stray, I don’t sense any other human presences nearby so it’s likely safe to assume that she has no trainer.”
”Yeah, suppose so…” Zoey agreed, reaching into one of the bags and pulling out a malasada, ”Ya hungry then? Here, yer welcome to have some if ya like, we’ve got plenty to share~”The Arcanine’s mouth watered as she stared at the donut-like thing in the woman’s hand, but hesitated to move any closer as if asking if it was really okay for her to have it. That and the weird little bird thing sitting by the redhead was giving her the stinkeye something fierce, even though the dog was far larger by a sizable margin she couldn't help but feel very unsettled by the smaller bird's intense glare… ”Easy there, Hilde, I don’t think she means any harm,” she reassured, gently stroking the little Aviron to try and coax her to ease up a little. The tiny griffin seemed to relax, if only slightly, when it seemed like the Arcanine wasn’t hostile, though she still kept her suspicious stare fixated on the dog to warn her not to try any funny business.
”Ah, there you are,”a new voice immediately cut in as yet another Pokemon entered the clearing, a dark-furred Lucario with bright blue ring-like markings who seemed to be addressing the Arcanine,”Figures it would be food that you went running off after so suddenly…”Huh… Well this was shaping up to be quite the interesting encounter. Upon hearing the curt, disappointed tone of her apparent companion, the Arcanine’s ears flattened as she whined, gesturing with her muzzle towards the malasada in Zoey’s hand. The Lucario’s stern expression began to ease somewhat as she listened to the dog, then she pivoted to address them directly as she dipped her head politely in greeting.”Please excuse the intrusion, apparently my companion caught wind of the food you had with you and came to investigate, though she insists that you’re willing to share so at least she didn’t try to steal anything,”she said, her voice soft yet amiable before taking on a more serious tone,”You are new here, are you not? I would highly suggest that you not stay too long in this area and exercise extreme caution. I’ve been sensing a Pokemon with an incredibly dangerous aura around here as of recently… and I’ve heard word that other Pokemon have been savagely assaulted by this hostile creature.”
Well that wasn’t ******** ominous at all… Zoey hadn’t noticed anything particularly out of the ordinary ever since they landed here, but with the mysterious Lucario’s warning it suddenly didn’t seem quite as safe to linger around here. ”I mean, it’s just one Pokemon that’s goin’ around doin’ all that, right? I don’t think it’d be much of a problem to take care of if it tried to mess with us, our team’s probably pretty strong compared to most of the wild Pokemon here,” she reassured, though as much as she tried to casually dismiss it that creeping sense of caution still lingered in the back of her head. So much for this place being peaceful...”Even so… it’s not a threat to be underestimated…”the Lucario insisted, nodding towards her Arcanine companion before looking back to the woman,”Still, my companion and I will stay for the time being, at least to ensure that you and your Pokemon are kept safe.”Well, she supposed she couldn’t object to that… strange as this whole situation was…
”I mean sure, if that’s what ya want,” she relented with a shrug, gesturing for the odd pair to join them in their little picnic circle, ”If y’all are hungry yer more than welcome to help yerselves, got plenty to go around.” The Arcanine immediately perked right back up, all too happy to take the offer as she bounded forward, practically devoured the offered malasada in Zoey’s hand in a single bite, and immediately began sniffing at the bags for more. The Lucario, on the other hand, stayed back somewhat, her gleaming blue eyes narrowed thoughtfully as she considered it for a minute.”I suppose there’s no harm in it,”she remarked coolly, moving to follow her companion as she grabbed a small handful of malasadas for them to share before the pair seated themselves among the others. The Arcanine happily munched away on another one of the donut-like treats, while the Lucario crossed her legs to assume a sitting lotus position and took small bites of her own food. Even as she ate, the aura Pokemon kept her extrasensory radar active and alert in case that dangerous Pokemon she’d been sensing happened to be lurking somewhere close by.】☆ ☆

Lakshmi entered Lake Verity in a panic. At first, there had been signs of a struggle and they'd heard yelling from the chimchar, but now it was silent. Either their pokemon had successfully caught and subdued the chimchar, or things had gone terribly wrong. "Osmanthus! Ginseng!" Lakshmi called out, but there was no response. Macha looked up at the monk with concern. It was clear they were quite distressed.
Lakshmi clutched the terrariderm in their arms close to their chest and continued jogging towards the lake. There, they saw a large group of pokemon gathered around one woman. Perhaps one of them had seen his pokemon? "A thousand pardons, but have you or your pokemon seen a Lucario or medicham pass through here recently? Or perhaps a chimchar?" They asked with a frown.

☆ ☆【Well, she supposed it wasn’t the worst welcoming committee she’d come across, though Zoey was still a bit confused why this odd pair of Pokemon who had shown up out of seemingly nowhere wanted to stick around to protect them. Was whatever that was going around threatening Pokemon around here really that dangerous? As much as Zoey wanted to just dismiss it since they wouldn’t be sticking around in the area for that long anyway, she still felt very on edge as she found herself casting occasional glances about to check for any suspicious activity while the pair joined her and the rest of her party to partake of snacks. The Lucario had sounded pretty serious about that warning, perhaps it was best to actually take it to heart in case something very dangerous was lurking around here.
”So what’s yer guys’ deal anyways? I mean, it ain’t every day a random stray Pokemon just strolls up outta nowhere n’ offer to be yer bodyguard just like that, y’know?” she asked, trying to get a bit more information on their new apparent company. She didn’t mean for it to sound suspicious or anything, if anything she just found the whole situation to just be very strange in general. The Lucario tilted her head to look towards Zoey, bright blue eyes narrowed somewhat as she considered the question.”Well, my companion here and I have been traveling together for quite some time now. Our previous owner was met with some… very unfortunate circumstances, so it’s just been the two of us since, moving from place to place and surviving off of what we can get,”she explained after a moment, gesturing towards the Arcanine as she spoke,”I suppose you could say we chose to help you out of a sense of duty. That dangerous Pokemon is a worrying disturbance to the peace of this place, and I refuse to let innocent people and Pokemon be put in harm’s way because of it.”
Zoey hummed as she listened, so these two were definitely strays then… As much as she wanted to press for more about what happened to their previous trainer, she restrained herself. She'd only just met these two and it wouldn’t be right to try to pry such personal and sensitive information on them, and judging from how the Lucario had more or less glossed over it she clearly didn’t want to say anything more on the subject. Still, judging from that Zoey could at least guess that whatever had happened hadn’t been anything especially good… and that they were most likely dead. She wondered if these two might have been trying to find a new trainer during their travels, and as if she’d read her mind the Lucario nodded towards her.”I hadn’t given much thought to the idea of looking for another trainer, and even then we have yet to really find any candidates that really… resonated with us, you could say,”she added, a soft chuckle escaping her as she gently nudged the Arcanine next to her,”Though I’m sure my partner here would be happy to join you just on the principle that you were nice enough to share your food with us.”The big blue dog gave an indignant huff at that, though in all fairness the aura Pokemon had hit the nail right on the head there. Plus these little donut things were super-duper good! She’d happily choose to stick with this lady here right away if she could get at least a million more of these!
”Heh, no kiddin’,” Zoey chipped in as she laughed along, ”Well, I ain’t gonna force y’all to stick around after we get goin’ again here, but I wouldn’t be opposed if ya did either. It’s up to y’all what ya wanna do.” The Lucario smiled and nodded appreciatively, thankful that at least they were being given a choice whether to stay or not. Perhaps... maybe, just maybe, she wouldn’t mind actually joining up with this woman and her Pokemon once this whole situation was resolved. The aura Pokemon’s ears perked up as she detected something nearby, a pair of unfamiliar auras a few yards away from their temporary encampment. From a cursory glance she could tell they weren’t dangerous, yet could sense the caution and apprehension they carried… and that was when she sensed it again. That dark, powerful, oppressing aura… There! She could sense the presence of the shadowy aura several feet away from where they sat, in between the trees, watching them closely… The smell of the food had likely lured it here, but it was clearly hanging back for the time being since it surely knew it would be severely outnumbered if it tried to attack. Her back was turned to it right now, she could use this opportunity to try to get in a sneak attack to hopefully incapacitate it before it either escaped or tried to attack.
Narrowing her eyes, the Lucario kept her extrasensory sight on it as she discreetly formed a small sphere of aura energy in her palm, ready to quickly pivot around at the drop of a pin and fling an Aura Sphere its way. ”What’s up?” she heard Zoey quietly ask, having noticed what the aura Pokemon was doing and immediately getting the feel something was off. In an instant, one of the other auras nearby suddenly vanished to the Lucario’s surprise and confusion, only to have it appear right on the other side and start engaging with the dark aura. Meanwhile, the other aura began moving quickly, almost imperceptibly fast as a blur of blue zipped past them. ”s**t, what the hell was that?!” Zoey swore, quickly climbing to her feet as the sounds of a struggle filled the clearing, followed by a shout of alarm and a shrill shriek before it fell completely silent. Her Pokemon were equally on edge, most of them raring for a potential fight in case something jumped out at them while others looked around apprehensively.”Nothing good from what it seems, we should go investigate and help any who may be hurt,”Sigurd suggested, his voice calm and level yet tinged with an undertone of concern,"But be careful, we could very well still be in danger."
And then suddenly, because apparently everything just seemed to be happening all at once, a tall, well-dressed looking man with lavender colored hair came towards them from the path that seemed to lead out from the lake and towards Twinleaf Town. The man pardoned himself for intruding, but wanted to ask if they’d see a Lucario, Medicham, or maybe a Chimchar pass through recently. ”Oh, uh, I mean I haven’t really seen any Pokemon come by but somethin’ did just jet right past us a minute ago, maybe that was one of ‘em,” Zoey suggested, grabbing her Pokeballs and returning most of her Pokemon save for Orpheus, Coltrane, Eir, and Sigurd. Naturally the Arcanine and Lucario stayed out as well since they had no Pokeballs of their own. It would be better to investigate with a smaller group than having everyone try to partake all at once, after all. ”I’m sure they haven’t gone far if they only just recently came by, but we can help ya look for ‘em,” she offered, her Pokemon nodding in agreement. Sigurd cast a brief glance towards the other Ryuushu in the man’s company, recognizing it as the other Tay had also caught who had immediately bolted off once the opportunity had presented itself. Tempted as he was to address the other Ryuushu, they had more important matters to attend to right now.”I can still sense them, they’re fairly close by,”the Lucario spoke up, gesturing in the direction she could feel the two Pokemon’s aura in. Looking back at the humans and their Pokemon, the dark-furred Lucario beckoned for them to follow as she turned and ran off towards where she’d indicated, her Arcanine partner wasting no time following suit as she quickly dashed after the aura Pokemon.】☆ ☆

Lakshmi wasn't sure whether he should be relieved or concerned that the woman had seen something pass by. "Any help you could provide would be most appreciated. However, I will warn you that we are chasing something quite dangerous, and I would not ask you to unknowingly put yourself in harm's way." And yet, as they said this, Lakshmi noticed that Zoey was already returning her pokemon and preparing to follow. In fact, she seemed to have quite a few pokemon on her. Perhaps it was silly of them to assume that she wouldn't be able to defend herself when it was clear she was a seasoned trainer, but in their panic Lakshmi hadn't really assessed Zoey's team before making their comments.
Lakshmi turned their attention to the Lucario as she spoke, insisting that she could sense the pokemon they had seen still close by. Without quite so many pokemon out, Lakshmi knew they would be able to sense their auras. They turned in the direction that the female Lucario pointed out, eventually picking up the faint traces of Osmanthus and Ginseng's auras. They were so faint, it was no wonder he couldn't sense them earlier. However, as the Lucario pointed out, it wasn't due to distance. They were indeed close, but that meant that their auras were faint because...
"No....!" Lakshmi gasped, quickly following after the Lucario and her arcanine companion. It wasn't long before they found Osmanthus and Ginseng's unconscious bodies on the ground. Lakshmi knelt down beside them both. How could this have happened? Osma coughed, groaning. It seemed he was still barely conscious. "F-forgive me, master.... I promised I wouldn't fail you again and I—" Lakshmi quietly hushed the Lucario. "You are already forgiven." With a grunt, Osma nodded and sat up slowly. "Ginseng.... Where is...?""She's here. Unconscious, but she's here." Somehow even the two of them together weren't enough to stop the chimchar.
Lakshmi grit their teeth, but suppressed the anger threatening to boil up within them. The monk looked to the terrariderm in their arms. "Would you mind healing them?" They pleaded. Yerba Mate gave a light trumpet of their trunk in agreement and floated out of Lakshmi's arms so that it could spray some healing tea at the Lucario and medicham. As soon as Ginseng was revived, she gasped and shot up like she'd been struck by lightning. "Urgh…. That accursed chimp! He won't get away this time...!" She attempted to stand, immediately wobbling and falling back on her butt with a grunt. For once, Lakshmi was glad she didn't have the energy to run off. "You will go nowhere until you have properly recovered from your wounds." Lakshmi chastised before turning to Zoey and her Lucario companion and bowing deeply. "Thank you for your help. If there is anything I can do to repay you, name it and it is yours."

☆ ☆【Zoey’s head was still spinning a little from trying to process the whirlwind of events that had just transpired, from the sudden ruckus that had happened somewhere nearby to this mysterious lavender haired man who had approached them in search of his Pokemon. Still, she had the presence of mind to nod as the man insisted that any help they could provide would be appreciated, though warned them that they were chasing after something dangerous and he wouldn’t ask her to unknowingly put herself in harm’s way. Granted, Zoey was a pretty experienced trainer with a lot of strong Pokemon, but she still didn’t entirely know what exactly it was that they were up against. ”Hey it’s no problem at all, man. I mean I’m sure we can take care of ourselves just fine,” she returned with a small smile, already returning most of her Pokemon save for a select few and the pair who didn’t have any Pokeballs, ”Still I can’t say I’m even really sure o’ what we’re up against here, so the warnin’s appreciated regardless.”
The Lucario spoke up, saying that she could still feel their auras close by and pointing out the direction that the speedy blue blur that had blasted past their camp had apparently gone in. However, they were very, very faint… and the source of the shadowy aura she’d sensed only moments ago now seemed to have completely gone away. Whatever had happened, clearly something had gone wrong… Seeming to realize what had happened, the man’s expression turned panicked as he gasped in fear and worry and ran after the Lucario and her Arcanine partner as they led the way. ”C’mon!” Zoey called out, signaling her Pokemon to follow as they took off after the others, Orpheus quickly picking up his trainer’s coat and the mostly empty bags of food on the way. Bursting through the trees after their companions, the woman bit her lip upon seeing the unconscious bodies of a Mega Lucario and a Medicham in a nearby clearing. ”s**t…” she murmured under her breath, moving to stand close by as the man knelt down beside his fainted Pokemon, ”Are they alright?”
”They’re still alive, though it’s clear they took quite a beating before they were knocked out,”the Lucario confirmed, bending down a bit to assess any injuries they might have. However, the Mega Lucario was still conscious, if just barely, and pleaded for the man to forgive him for failing him again. The man hushed him gently, assuring him that he was already forgiven and assuring the Lucario that his Medicham teammate was still here with them, albeit unconscious.”That dangerous aura doesn’t appear to be anywhere nearby, I can only assume these two had chased it off when they engaged it,”the female Lucario spoke up, straightening herself a bit more as she cast a cautionary glance at their surroundings,”We should be safe for now… But the fact that that dangerous Pokemon is still at large is very concerning...”
”It probably hasn’t gone far since it was apparently here recently, but there’s no point in tryin’ to go after it right now. At least not until everyone’s fully recovered,” Zoey said, glancing towards the man’s weakened Pokemon. She noted that the man had mentioned looking for three Pokemon in particular, and while they’d found the Lucario and Medicham the Chimchar was still unaccounted for. Unless… perhaps… Zoey watched as the man asked the Pokemon he’d been carrying in his arms, what looked like an elephant with a glass body that seemed to have… plants(?) inside it, to heal his injured Pokemon. Which it was glad to oblige as it hovered from his hold and sprayed them with some sort of healing water or tea. The Medicham, Ginseng if she recalled correctly, immediately made to stand upon being revived as she grumbled angrily about the runaway Chimchar, but she wasn’t quite recovered enough as she fell back to the ground. Probably for the better, since she clearly wasn’t in any shape to give pursuit right now as the man chastised her. The blue Arcanine had been standing by while the group assessed the pair’s condition, keeping watch to make sure nothing would try to attack them. As her Lucario companion confirmed that they weren’t in any immediate danger right now, the big dog nodded, deciding to at least try to help their company out in the meantime. Padding their way over to Ginseng, the Arcanine gave a soft growl as she bent down, offering the Medicham a means of support to help keep her on her feet for now.
Zoey turned her attention back to the man as he looked to her and the dark-furred Lucario, bowing as he thanked them for their help and offering a favor to them in return. ”Uh, yer welcome? I mean, I didn’t really do much of anythin’ b’sides offer to help out. Honestly she’s the one ya oughta thank more than me,” she said, gesturing to the Lucario who dipped her head respectfully to the man in return, ”But if ya insist, I suppose I’ll accept it anyways~” At the man’s proposal of repaying them whatever it was they wanted, a thoughtful look crossed Zoey’s face as she examined him carefully. ”Anyyyyything?” she asked with a cheeky grin, tone light and gently teasing to try to lighten up the tension in the atmosphere, ”Heh, just kiddin’, but… I think there might actually be somethin’…” Reaching down to the Pokeballs on her belt, she carefully unhooked the one she was sure contained the Oranguru Tay had given her. While it might not be the best idea to give away a Pokemon to someone she’d only just met, especially since she was still gauging the man’s character, something about him just seemed to give off a very… peaceful and trustworthy vibe.
She just hoped she wouldn’t end up regretting this decision later on… ”See, I made a promise to someone I met that I’d find good trainers for these Pokemon they gave me, n’ ya seem like ya treat yer own very well from what I’ve seen so far, so…” taking a deep breath, she held out the Pokeball to the man in offering, ”If ya really wanna do me a favor, the least I can ask is that ya give this Pokemon a good home n’ the love they deserve. And if not for me then for the kid who gave ‘em up so they can find the kinda trainers that they really hope to have someday.” It was probably a pretty odd request to make out of the blue, much less to someone who was still a stranger to her. But something told Zoey that maybe this was the right decision, though she’d understand completely if the man refused to accept the offer. It’d just mean she’d have to try looking elsewhere to find good trainers for these two.
A thought crossed her mind as she realized they hadn’t formally introduced themselves to each other yet, not that the timing had been the most appropriate before considering what all had gone down several minutes earlier. Still, now was better than never, right? ”Name’s Nizhoni Larsson, by the way, but just Zoey is by all means fine by me,” she offered, dipping her head politely to the man with an amiable smile.】☆ ☆

Lakshmi nodded hesitantly after Zoey insisted that she and her team would be fine. They certainly had a strong aura about them, and it wasn't that Lakshmi didn't believe her, but there was still a concern for her safety in that they didn't quite know what they were going up against. Therefore, it was difficult to measure Zoey's strength compared to that of the chimchar's. "I am afraid that I cannot be of much help in that... It seems that I am continually underestimating our charge, so I couldn't tell you, other that it is far more powerful than it might seem at first glance and not to be taken lightly."
Lakshmi hoped that was informative enough, however as Zoey's Lucario companion seemed to pick up on Osma and Ginseng's auras, they ran towards the pokemon only to discover them both knocked out cold on the ground. Lakshmi quickly made to heal them with their newfound terrarium's tea. "They will be, thankfully." Lakshmi sighed, letting the other Lucario explain to Zoey that they were, in fact, still alive while they quietly chanted mantras, praying for his pokemon's healing. "नमस् सद्धर्म पुण्डरीक सूत्र….. नमस् सद्धर्म पुण्डरीक सूत्र….."
Despite their murmurings, Lakshmi was very much still in tune with the conversation between Zoey and her Lucario. "Unfortunately, Osma and Ginseng are two of my strongest pokemon. Even so, they were not exactly trained with the intention of battling, because personally I take issue with fighting other than in self defense... However, given the circumstances, I see that in doing so, I have ultimately set them up for failure when it comes to handling these aggressive pokemon threats that must be subdued and contained..." Lakshmi sighed deeply, mildly frustrated with themselves. However, they held strong. "Unfortunately, fighting only defensively means that one does not often engage in battle. I still do not wish to go attacking the pokemon in this area when there is already the threat of my chimchar weakening the population as we speak... However, perhaps an arrangement can be agreed upon?" Lakshmi turned to Osma curiously. "Why not simply ask the pokemon in this area to engage in honorable combat? After a clear victor is decided, we can heal those pokemon up as our thanks and apologies for participating, and it would be good practice for you both." Lakshmi suggested.
"Hm... Not a bad compromise. We can see if there are any pokemon in the area who are willing to help." Osma agreed, and Lakshmi nodded in thanks. "Ginseng?" The medicham, who had remained quiet until now, huffed and shrugged. "I suppose it couldn't hurt... However I feel that I could still take out that chimchar if I simply had—" Osma cut her off. "Now is not the time for arrogance, Gin. Master Varma is right. We aren't strong enough right now to take on that.... Thing." He spat. Gin looked offended at first, but eventually settled for a reluctant nod. "Very good." Lakshmi commended before turning to Zoey to thank her and her pokemon for their help.

Lakshmi couldn't help but smile a little as Zoey humbly pushed the praise to her Lucario. "Of course. My aura sensing skills are not nearly as masterful as hers. If not for her guidance, I would have never picked up on such faint auras, so my thanks is with her as well. However, you were willing to help all the same and provided me with reassurance in your words, presence, and willingness to help. That comfort is just as important, even if you did not have a chance to take action. Preparedness should not be overlooked just because it does not come to fruition. That is like not crediting yourself for planting a seed because it did not grow overnight. Keep watering it, however, and one day it will bloom when you need it most." Lakshmi insisted with a smile.
Admittedly, Lakshmi did grow a little nervous when Zoey asked if he would really do anything as thanks for her help, but thankfully she had just been teasing. Although, it seemed she did actually have a request in mind; to take care of a pokemon that had been entrusted to her with the pretense of finding it a good home. "Very well. I would be happy to take this pokemon on... Though admittedly this feels more like a gift or reward rather than returning a favor for your kindness." Lakshmi chuckled. Still, they happily accepted the oranguru and stored the pokeball away in their bag. "Nizhoni Larsson... That is a lovely name, but if you are more comfortable with Zoey, I will not object. I am Lakshmi Varma, an emissary for the Jiāo tú monks of Mount Silver. I specialize in aura readings, and calming the spirits of pokemon. As such, the Jiāo tú sent me on a mission to collect a particularly aggressive chimchar from professor Rowan. I was successful for a time, until I let it out to try calming it and reading its aura when it attacked and escaped me. Unfortunately, you know the rest." Lakshmi sighed and shook his head.
As Lakshmi and Zoey talked, Gin excused herself to go seek out a pokemon to battle, but she made sure to remain close just in case they ran into that damn chimchar again. She definitely didn't want to be alone if that happened. Osma, however, was quite keen on interacting with Zoey's Lucario. "Excuse me, but would you perhaps be willing to spar with me?" He asked with a light smile. Ever since he had come to consciousness and seen the face of this angelic Lucario, he'd been interested in meeting her. A friendly sparring match could certainly facilitate that. Gin, on the other hand, managed to find a starly that was receptive to a match as well because it also wanted to get stronger, and Gin soon figured out why; it was incredibly weak. She had over-estimated the strength of the pokemon in the area. No wonder the chimchar was wreaking havoc! It had decimated her and Osma in one hit, and they were easily stronger than most of the wildlife in this area. Helping the poor thing recover from its OHKO, Gin apologized and suggested that perhaps they each find different partners instead.
Ginseng encountered a wild Starly at level 2! 20HP | Male | Keen Eye | Tackle, Growl
Ginseng is level 5, so Gin moves first.
Ginseng used fire punch! 75 (Base damage) x1.3 (Pure power ability) = 97 damage total Starly took 97 damage! Starly fainted! Ginseng gained 2 exp! Ginseng grew to level 6!

☆ ☆【The uncertain expression on the man’s face even as he agreed with Zoey’s insistence that she and her Pokemon would be fine wasn’t… exactly the most reassuring. Granted, she still didn’t even really know much about what the situation with this dangerous Pokemon was exactly, the man saying that he couldn’t be of much help there since he was apparently constantly underestimating just how strong it actually was. So the most he could really tell them was that it was far more powerful than what one might assume at first glance, and that it wasn’t to be treated so lightly. Well s**t, that sounded a lot like what that Lucario had mentioned before, but the man’s certainty in just how large this apparent threat was made Zoey a bit more convinced that it would be best for them to exercise caution.
Still, that left the issue of where the man’s Pokemon had gone off to since they had apparently passed through the area recently, Zoey thinking that maybe whatever had basically zipped past their camp at Mach I speed might have been one of them. With the Lucario’s help, they found his Medicham and Mega Lucario passed out in a nearby clearing. While the lavender haired man tended to his Pokemon, his little elephant companion spraying them with a healthy dose of healing tea, the dark furred Lucario assured Zoey they were still alive and that whatever had attacked them had done a number before they’d gotten knocked out. Which, unfortunately, meant that the Pokemon responsible for this was still out there somewhere… According to the Lucario it was apparently nowhere near them right now since the pair had chased it off when they’d tried to take it on, but coupled with the fact that it could still be anywhere the relief was rather short-lived.
Zoey looked over to the man as he paused in his quiet murmurings to join in their conversation, saying that these two, Ginseng and Osma, were two of his strongest Pokemon. However, during their trainings they hadn’t exactly been taught with the intention of actually engaging in battling because he personally was against fighting aside from in self defense. Ah, so a pacifist… While Zoey didn’t exactly share the same sentiments, she could understand to some extent why some Pokemon trainers abhorred fighting. She supposed in a way Su Yan had been similar, though with him it had been more of being relatively new as a trainer plus unfortunate past incidents rather than a conscious choice of philosophy. She pursed her lips as the man went on to say that now he was starting to see that maybe that hadn’t been the way to go about it, as neither he nor his Pokemon were equipped to handle such an aggressive threat that had to be subdued. ”Hey, it ain’t entirely yer fault, man. Ya never really can plan to be prepared for everythin’ in life, and ya were just followin’ yer own principles. There ain’t any one universal solution for every problem life throws our way, after all,” she reassured. It was clear that the man was frustrated at not being able to handle the situation at hand as they might have wanted to, but that dangerous Pokemon definitely wasn’t going to surrender without a fight. The man said that he didn’t want to just go around and start outright attacking the Pokemon in the area, especially given the looming threat of his Chimchar that still hung heavily in the air. However, he had an arrangement in mind that they could instead ask the Pokemon to fight in a bout of honorable combat, healing them up and giving their thanks and apologies for their participation.
It was an interesting proposal, Zoey had to admit, though given the man’s aforementioned loathing of fighting outside of for the sake of self-defense it would likely work as a suitable workaround. Especially since it was clear that they would need to train and strengthen themselves to be better suited to deal with the threat at large. His Pokemon were willing to agree to it, his Medicham somewhat more reluctant as she insisted that she could still beat that Chimchar before being cut off by Osma.”I can certainly understand, I am personally not fond of fighting myself outside of the need to defend myself and those in my care when circumstances call for such. Although, I suppose battling can be seen as both an opportunity to strengthen one’s self and gain new experiences, and I will need to grow stronger as well if I am to be able to protect you against such powerful threats,”Sigurd spoke up, looking up towards Zoey and tilting his head somewhat before nodding,”If you wish for me to partake in such training as well, I shall oblige for your sake.”The redhead frowned somewhat, not wanting to force the Ryuushu to fight if he really was against it. But he insisted that he would be willing to battle to help himself grow, both physically and mentally, and if he was really fine with that she supposed it wouldn’t hurt. ”Sure, just take care of yerself n’ don’t push yerself too much, alright?” she said, not wanting him to put himself in serious danger just for her sake. The Ryuushu gave a toothy smile, gently nudging her hand in reassurance as his fan tail flapped up and down contentedly.
With that settled, Zoey turned her attention back to the man as he thanked them for her help, though she insisted that he ought to thank the Lucario since she had been of more help to them. He seemed to agree, saying that his skills with aura sensing weren’t as keen as hers and as such he owed it to her to be able to find his missing Pokemon. However, he insisted that the redhead shouldn’t discredit herself since even if she hadn’t contributed much she had still been willing to lend her aid and that much had been comforting to him. ”Aha, well when ya put it that way… I’m just glad to be of any help at all if possible, even if it really ain’t a whole lot,” she said, rubbing the back of her neck as she smiled warmly at his analogy. Well, she certainly couldn’t argue with that logic now could she? In any case, the man had mentioned being indebted and would fulfill any favor she asked of him, which she couldn’t help teasing him a little about as she cheekily asked if he would really do anything. She was, of course, just joking, though she couldn’t help but be a little amused by the slightly nervous expression that crossed his face. Regardless, she did have something in mind that he could do for her as she asked him to take care of the Oranguru she’d received from Tay, handing over the Pokeball as she voiced her proposal. The man was glad to accept as he took the Oranguru off her hands, saying that this felt more like a reward than returning a favor.
”Heh, well think of it this way. Yer repayin’ me for helpin’ ya by helpin’ me find a good home for a Pokemon that truly deserves one,” she suggested with a grin, ”Dunno ‘bout ya, but I’d consider that a win-win for both of us~” With that more or less settled, it was high time they actually introduced themselves so that at the very least they weren’t total strangers anymore. Zoey smiled brightly as the man complimented her name, returning the favor by introducing himself as Lakshmi Varma. ”Yers ain’t half bad either, got a nice bit of exotic flair to it~ Well it’s real nice to meet ya, Lakshmi, though would ya mind if I call ya Lak?” she asked, holding a hand out for a handshake and hoping the potential nickname didn’t come off as too offensive. She listened as he continued, saying he was an emissary for the Jiāo tú monks of Mt. Silver, and that he specialized in reading auras and calming the spirits of Pokemon. ”Huh, no kiddin’? I didn’t think anyone actually lived out there on Mt. Silver given that it’s kinda… isolated up there,” she remarked with a hint of surprise. The name Jiāo tú didn’t jump out to her as familiar, though given that they were apparently established on Mt. Silver of all places she had to wonder what it was they did out there. She might have to pick Lakshmi’s brain a bit more on that later, since he still had more to say on what his business here was. Apparently the monks had sent him here on a mission to acquire a highly aggressive Chimchar from Professor Rowan, and he had succeeded at first until he had released said Chimchar with the intention of trying to calm it and get a reading on its aura. Which, as he supplied, had led to the situation they were in up to this point.
”I see… So that Chimchar’s the one responsible for causin’ all the trouble that’s been goin’ on ‘round here lately, yeah?” she asked, quirking an eyebrow in curiosity and slight skepticism, ”What exactly is the deal with this particular Chimchar that makes it so dangerous, though? I ain’t too sure of what’s goin’ on here, but somehow ‘highly aggressive’ doesn’t strike me as the kinda behavior that’s normal for lab-bred starter Pokemon. Unless it’s some sorta ‘top secret’ business that ya ain’t allowed to tell anyone about?” While she probably shouldn’t be butting into this kind of business that didn’t exactly concern her, she’d rather be as informed as possible about what it was that was causing so much worry so she at least had some idea of how to counter against it. Of course if Lakshmi told her that it was private business and not something he could divulge to just any old person he met, she’d back off. It wasn’t like he was necessarily obligated to tell her anything more than he needed to since they’d only just met only minutes ago.
While their trainers talked, Sigurd politely asked Orpheus to help prepare him for training.”Certainly, I am sure there are still some items left that should be of use for you,”the Zoroark happily agreed, looking towards the woman as he nodded towards her bag,”If I may, Fraulein?”Zoey briefly glanced over from her conversation with Lakshmi and nodded in agreement, the Dark-type taking the invitation as he carefully dug around in her pack for anything that could be helpful. The first thing he found was the TM Case, which seemed to have a couple of them inside that might actually be useful to the Ryuushu. Taking them out, Orpheus gently pressed each disc to the fan-tailed fox’s head, watching as each one was gradually drained of color until they were rendered dull, gray, and useless.
With her Arcanine partner currently preoccupied with lookout duties as the big blue dog stayed close to the two trainers, the dark-furred Lucario made a couple quick scans of any nearby auras to detect any lingering trace of that dangerous shadowy energy. Even if it was no longer in their immediate vicinity, just knowing it was somewhere out there was enough for her to be on edge. They had to stop it somehow, given how much trouble it was causing in a place like this there was no telling what havoc it could wreak if it happened to reach a public area like a nearby town where there were more people… Thankfully, she was distracted from her worrying thoughts as she felt a strong yet familiar aura approach, her bright blue eyes lighting on Lakshmi’s Lucario as he addressed her and asked if she would spar with him.”Is that your way of asking me out on a date?”she inquired, a playful lilt in her voice as she grinned cheekily at him,”Joking aside, I would love to. It has been quite some time since I last had an opponent to spar with, much less another Lucario. Most wild Pokemon we’ve come across aren’t quite strong enough, and my partner there complains that I play a touch too rough for her liking.”She chuckled softly as she gestured towards her Arcanine partner, the blue dog pointedly looking away with ears flattened slightly as she huffed out a quiet agreement.
Focusing back on Osmanthus, she took a few steps back, taking a deep breath to psych herself up and spreading her legs apart into a strong stance.”Osma, right?”she asked, ensuring she had heard the name right when Lakshmi had spoken to him earlier, an amiable smile crossing her muzzle as she dipped her head respectfully,”It would be a pleasure to honor you as my opponent today.”She had to admit she was thankful for this welcome distraction, and she would be remiss to pass up the opportunity to acquaint herself with a fellow Lucario. That they would be doing a bit of friendly sparring was just icing on the cake, she could use the opportunity to stretch her muscles and brush up on her skills that she hadn’t had much chance to practice for quite a while.】☆ ☆

Lakshmi couldn't help but admire Zoey's wise words, insisting that there was nothing wrong with following one's principles, and that the universe had no simple solution for how to get through life completely unscathed or without fault. Perhaps Lakshmi was trying a little too hard to be perfect. They just wanted to avoid sullying the Jiāo tú monks' good name. After all, they had allowed someone like him to come into their fold, no questions asked, so long as he promised to follow the routine and cause no trouble. It had been a safe haven for Lakshmi, and they so desperately wanted to return the favor.
Still, this was no way to go about it. "Yes, you are quite right... Thank you. Regardless, now is not the time for self pity. I should start trying to find a solution." Lakshmi frowned, humming thoughtfully as they eventually came up with a plan that would both allow their team some way to train without infringing upon his non-violent principles. It seemed Zoey's Ryuushu was receptive to such an idea. Perhaps he was a non-violent creature as well? Lakshmi wasn't certain. They had only just met, after all, but that seemed to be the case.
While the trainers talked, Genseng was nearby, challenging wild pokemon to honorable combat as Lakshmi had suggested. After defeating a starly, Ginseng began to wonder if training here would be worth her time as she searched for another pokemon. After all, the pokemon here seemed to be pretty weak. However, it wasn't like they could leave, either. Not with the looming threat of the rampaging shadow chimchar on the loose. But if she and Osma combined couldn't beat it, then what else could she do? She felt so helpless in this stupid situation. Then, she saw the most bizzare thing; a teacup, sitting in the middle of the grass. "...Did anyone lose a teacup?" She reached out telepathically to Lakshmi and Zoey as she inspected the teacup closer. It even looked filled with some strange sort of liquid. Who would leave something like that behind?
"Ah, Ginseng, be careful!" Lakshmi warned her, but it was too late. The medicham had picked up the teacup and it in turn blasted her with a sweet and distracting scent. She attempted to drop the cup almost immediately, but it remained stationary, floating in the air as the liquid rose out of the cup and jumped towards her. Ginseng cried out and jumped back in surprise as the haunted teacup cackled gleefully. "Why you little...!" Ginseng's temper flared as she sent a red hot fire punch to the cup, forcefully knocking it to the ground and leaving it with a burn.
"Excuse me for a moment..." Lakshmi sighed, giving Zoey an apologetic look before he moved to intercept. "What part of 'honorable combat' did you not understand, Ginseng?" The monk's icy mint green gaze pierced Ginseng's form, but she was apparently immune due to the heat of the moment. "That thing attacked first. I was merely defending myself!" Lakshmi regarded the medicham quietly for a moment. "And yet you bare no marks of aggression. Are you certain that this pokemon was not simply pulling a prank?" Ginseng hesitated and huffed. "Well, you can't very well expect me to take a prank very well now of all times, with a shadow pokemon on the loose." Lakshmi tilted their head to the side and closed their eyes, giving a soft sigh and nod in concession. "Very well, but please be more mindful next time." In the meantime, he caught the poor teacup pokemon with a silent promise to get it's wounds tended to soon.

Team OOB:
Returning to Zoey for the conversation at hand, Lakshmi was surprised to find that she was offering him a pokemon as a way to make up for her help. It certainly wasn't what they had expected, though Lakshmi was more than happy to oblige. "It meant a lot to me." Lakshmi countered with a gentle smile. Taking care of a pokemon certainly felt like a win-win, so long as Zoey did indeed feel the same. "Really? I suppose anything is exotic sounding when you aren't accustomed to it. The pleasure is all mine, and Lak is certainly acceptable." They nodded, eyes twinkling with amusement at the new nickname. "Mount Silver is very much isolated, and that is exactly why the monks make their residence there. It is quiet, and far away from the noise or bustle of urban life. It is meant to be a place of solitary reflection, where one can go to train their mind, body, and spirit." Lakshmi explained cheerfully. "I know that must sound... Extreme. It is certainly not the life for everyone, but it greatly helped me." He chuckled.
After explaining what had happened with his chimchar, Lakshmi nodded as Zoey connected the dots. "That is correct." She still seemed confused about why the chimchar was more dangerous than any other though. "Aha... No, I suppose it is an open secret. Highly aggressive is an understatement. That chimchar is something known colloquially as a 'Shadow Pokémon'. To the untrained eye, one wouldn't notice any difference beside the unnaturally aggressive tendencies. To aura readers, such as myself and our Lucario, however, we sense the malevolent aura that surrounds it. The cause... varies, from case to case. I'm not sure what caused this chimchar to turn. As far as I know, pokemon labs take great care to raise the starter pokemon and make certain that they are ah... house broken, for lack of a better term. That way new and inexperienced trainers are eased into the concept of owning a pokemon if they have had no prior experience." Lakshmi mused. "However, when a shadow pokemon fights, it becomes quite obvious that there is something unnatural about them, even for someone who cannot sense auras. They use shadow moves that no ordinary pokemon can learn, and they are extremely dangerous moves too. So much so that they are banned from the pokemon league."
