[Seems Popo's a bit... occupied at the moment. I'm sure he'll be back soon.

This is DEFINITELY NOT me remembering Popo exists and adding a reason for him to NOT be around when he might be needed... TOTALLY NOT....]

[New gear-new gear-new-]

< Previous

< To Part 1 of Chapter 2...

[[This new gear unfortunately means we'll be seeing older references for certain members of the Shaymin Guild for a while longer. It's not drastically different, just a simple design shift and it's going to take a while to go through it all and make the updates accordingly;;]]

"... I don't mean to pry... but did something happen for you to need that letter? Osiris vaguely told me what it was for."

"...?"

"It's nothing serious, just some family found their way into Cypress for some crimes and... before they get out, I'd like to see them and set some... ground rules..."

"... Right... well, if everyone likes what they have, I need to go. If you need me, I'll be at the clinic."

"Ah, right, I should finish getting ready...! Guess we'll have to postpone our meet-"

"You mean us watching you and Charissa argue? Again?"

"A-Aahahaha..."

[Delivery made! Potential Guild Revolt halted?]

"Oh, by the way, only Pau or myself should carry Gil around, she's too hot for anyone to touch at the moment-literally."

"I-I'm sorry... what... happened...???"

"Yes, they're just asleep if I understand that goofy device correctly."

"Y-yeah... that's right, but... wouldn't it have been better to just wait-"

"As I said, the smallest chance of a mixup or some other issue coming up is still too much. The Council's involved, if it's simple to achieve, they'll complicate it. I highly doubt this is done..."

"Call it... experience by proxy..."

"..."

"... Hey, what was that light just now?!"

"About time."

[Somewhat back on track!]

"By the way, even if they seem fine, I'd get them all checked out when we get back. That Charmander kid's putting up a good facade in my opinion. Boule was his name, I think...?"

"Well, that's an obvious objective... we would've been here sooner if we didn't take precautions in that emera cluster room... but, we'll do what we can now."

"I can also use my healing moves to at least deal with minor injuries, if that helps before we leave."

"Humph, the Xerneas Guild being helpful...? Rare sight."

"Don't lump me in with those old elites."

"... Let's... not argue right now... I'll get the Evac Orb ready! So... get yourselves together, yeah?"

[A tiny twinge of animosity...]

[askbeannuts]

"..."

"Are you worried, Boule?"

"Well-"

"W-wait, look!"

"Stopping you!!! You didn't let me say my piece before you assumed!!! What about that other shadow guy, huh?! Are you going to leave them behind for some crazy self-destruction plan?! How can you even consider that!!!"

"What makes you think you understand my situation!? That thing is no longer my kin! They died for me that day, whatever's left of them is a husk clinging to a corpse!! I have nothing left in this world, I'd rather go and even have a small chance of finding them again in the afterlife, but NO, you won't-"

*KRACKLE....*

[Ayanna Fainted!]

[askbeannuts]

"You know what, help me out, let's get them a bit farther away from this thing-fast...!"

.......

"Hey-aaand she's gone-she's fast... um... is... she-"

"Yes, that's Gil, though I'm more concerned about her over-usage of that awakening of hers..."

"... How much has she been using it...?"

"That would be the fourth ti-"

"F-fourth!? How-what IS she thinking??"

"... If I remember right from practice... she starts overheating, doesn't she? I didn't see any steam coming off of her this time, so... she should be fine for now... right?"

"I-If it's anything like me awakening Leech Seed... she's probably not healthy right now..."

"Wait... what happens if you overuse your-"

"Mines requires a lot of water, it's weird I know, but it dehydrates me severely, to the point where overexertion might make me... shrivel up...

Gil might-and I'm guessing here-start suffering from something like heatstroke if she somehow sustains that for too long or overuses it... I noticed she can willingly 'turn it off' though, so maybe... she's not in serious danger yet..."

"Should we-"

"Before anyone asks any additional questions, let's concentrate on the plan... we'll discuss weird quirks and how to deal with them later... much later preferably...We need to backup Gil-fast!" (Man... Lars would've probably already had a plan by now... crap...!)

[Gil has chosen to challenge the Shadow alone... though she seems exhausted...]

[Ayanna, Boule & William have used a Tiny Reviver Seed...! Despite that, the healing effects weren't that strong...!]

Seed Count Gil: 1 Serius: 1 Popo: 0 Kam: 0 Ayanna: 0 Boule: 0 William: 0 Lance: Does it need to be said?

"That was awesome!"

"Thanks!"

"Let's hope that keeps it pinned down until we get a prison orb or backup."

"Heh, it should for a bit."

[Bail out!]

[[The Pocket of Time side story is on-going and will continue parallel to standard Chapter 2 updates until it reaches its conclusion naturally or the progression of the Chapter causes it to end!]]

[They're getting bored...?]

[Boule used a Tiny-Reviver Seed...!]

Seed Count

Popo: 1

Gil: 4 [How?]

Ayanna: 2

William: 2

Boule: 1

Kam: 0

"... H-Hey... William are you-"

"I-I'm fine... check on the... others...!"

"But, you were just slammed-"

"I'm... FINE. Check on Boule and Ayanna...!!"

"... Right..."

(Why did I listen to that stupid vision-it never turns out good-NEVER-calm down... no one died this time... right...? Just calm down... get back up and focus... agh...) "Those reviver seeds... suck..."

"Even if we found a way around this thing, they're totally drained of energy, just like what happened to us with the other shadow..."

"T-Then what do we do? We can't just leave them like this..."

"We just need to make sure they're alive and safe! Even if they can't move... we'll plan that part out once we deal with that shadow!"

"Gil's right... We'll need to at least make sure the Kirlia's kept warm... I'm guessing Steel types could weather the cold a bit better... either way, there's a significant wind blowing our way right now... as for Lance and Ayanna... we'll have to leave this 'negotiation' to them..."

"I wound up bringing a spare cloak... it's not like those thicker ones you guys have, but it should work for now! I'll see if I have anything else we could use."

"I'd offer mines, but these cloaks don't detach from collar..."

"It's alright Kam, leave this to us and try to rest-"

"No... if we're going to have to fight that thing... I want to try helping...! Besides, I did try fighting it once, so maybe what I learned could help...? Lars always said to try and learn something from any encounter... so..."

"Yeah, yeah! Anything you learned might help us out-we can't just let it get away after everything it's done, y'know?"

"I agree, we have to assume Lance's attempt to talk that thing down won't go well..."

"Right, just… l-let me get my thoughts straight…"

"What do you think they're even talking about over there...?"

[I wonder too...]
