The SUNYSHORE Team

Krenari watched as Lucy tried to get over her episode. "So that's what happened to her at her time of infection...." the blue cat thought, now drifting away from the eels and towards the waterfall. She watched Fin swim a distance away from her, looking quite upset. She didn't know his problem, but it was oddly weird that she felt... concern for the fish. She was going it ask herself for the 20th time why she felt so different towards these pokemon, but she already knew. She metamorphosized into something completely different.... She was a new pokemon. She shook the thought out of her head as she went towards the waterfall. Then she remembered Lucy's comment about Waterfall. She didn't know it, but it wasn't any big deal. If she had to she'd scale the rocks. As to prove her point, she turned herself upright in the water and crossed her paws, looking defiant in her own way. She hooked one of her lower legs over the others knee, and calmly swished her tail to keep herself balanced. She waited for the others to catch up before Krenari would get out and scale up the rocks.

Aegis's sharp eyes softened as he watched Lucy suffer. It was painful for him to watch his friend be in pain, and Zeqme's words seemed harsh to his ears. But then, suddenly, Lucy was back up, and seemed to be her own peppy self. It was a facade, Aegis knew, but he continued to say nothing. She could handle herself. The Waterfall presented a new problem. Aegis could not carry them up the way he had gone before, and Zeqme would have trouble carrying the ones without legs to grip. How to do it then... Aegis drifted off towards the waterfall, allowing the gears of his mind to spin freely.

As he approached the area where the water first began to push him back, an idea struck him. He straightened his body and pointed his right scythe straight in the air, a tendril of water wrapped itself around his arm, then continued to climb through the air towards the sky. As it hit the air above, it began to expand, and formed clouds, dark rain clouds overhead. The immediate area around him flashed a cyan shade of blue as the stone in his eye socket began to glow. He could feel the energy coming from his Swift Swim enhancing his speed, and he found it hard to stay still. With one powerful kick of his legs, Aegis shot himself into the air, surrounding himself in his Aqua Jet, narrowling reaching the top of the waterfall. One more shot him farther away, so he would not fall back on his own. He could carry Lumi up this way, and Zeqme would hopefully be able to carry the others. Swimming for the short inlet of land, he stood, waving his arms at the others, and dove back down to the waves. One more climb wouldn't hurt.

[OOC: Please skip. Writer's block.]

Aegis and Krenari made their lead up the waterfall, Lucy looking up after them with a frown, she of course, had no idea how to climb. The Gorebyss couldn't float up like Zeqme. She glanced at Lumi, who earlier threw a glare at the twosome for some reason, what did she do wrong? Nonetheless, the Hoenn-Pokemon tried to hide the amount of surprise of how Aegis just sped up the Waterfall with no problem. It seemed like ever since he evolved, he was speedy in the water. Must be some ability he has or something!

Lucy swam over to Lumi, giving a worried whisper, sure that the Milotic couldn't hear, "Lumi, do you know how to climb?" The Gorebyss was worried if the fish couldn't scale up this Waterfall, well Lucy was worried for herself, but other Pokemon are a priority! She gave a glance at Zeqme, half-hoping the Milotic would carry the both of them, the other half hoping he would just carry Lumi and abandon her. Just like her lover.

[Ooc: Short post is short V_V I tried]

I would be damned if i let others help me with this. I take help from no one. I felt odd as I felt my old self start to rise out of her new ideas. This was one thing she wouldn't let others help her with because of her own imperfectness. I leaped out of the water on the edges of the rocks. I proceeded to climb up the edge of the cliff; the rocks providing smooth areas for me to jump up. I felt my body shiver with the sudden cold as the wind blew viciously on my fur. I continued to scale the cliffs before I got to the top. I was aching badly as I reached the top. I examined to my paw and found a sharp stone in it. Ew.... I gingerly grabbed the larger bottom with my teeth and tugged it out, not feeling the pain of it. I was scared by this. "Maybe I'm starting to die.... My mind flashed and sizzled white for a second as the thought of death came to me. My body would be in control, but it wouldn't be me.... I waited for everyone to get to the top of the ridge, sitting as I curled up tail up around me. I huddled in a ball as the cold air blew on me again, and I looked at my paw. My paw that was nearly mangled and I felt no pain.... It was the leg I broke during the fight....

((Skip please. Sorry, didn't realize it was my turn. >.<))

[OOC: Skip, I've hit a writers block for Zeqme.]

As Lamialuce glanced at the top of the waterfall, paying a close attention to Krenari's and Aegis's scents as she awaited a reply from Lumi and Zeqme. Realization struck her like an arrow upon smelling a new scent, "Krenari? Are you okay?" Lucy asked, she smelt.. fear. Sixth sense she supposed? This was new to smell the feelings of others. It's as if everything turned around. Like she was a predator smelling fear coming off her prey. Was she reverting back to the old undead she was earlier? The one where all she did was wail of her lover?

Her lover... Lucy smashed her tail against the waterfall's rocks, feeling some of her skinning getting scratched off upon doing so. Blood leaked from the open skin, as if blood was continuing to pump through her veins. Impossible... Blood? How would it be continuing to pump through her veins if she was dead? Perhaps that she still needed blood to go about her regular duties? She frankly doesn't know much of the body works. Of course, she wasn't like a scientist.

She glanced at Lumi and Zeqme, giving a small smile, of course she couldn't see them at all, but she didn't want them to give off that worried vibe of her just suddenly smashing her tail against the rocky wall.

[Ooc: I really don't want to skip my turn ^^; Apologies for shot post nontheless]

Well. Lumineon was now in a foul mood and it sure was not going anywhere soon. He hissed angerly through his teeth, baring the dull fangs as if he were some kind of beast. Lucy was just sooo obsessed with the new guy. BAH! She knew him, what, an hour? She had met the Lumineon yesterday!! Had she forgotten that so soon?

Lumi felt the anger quickly be replaced by pain and he abruptly turned away from the Gorebyss. The grey thing probably just saw her as an undead, someone to be used. The fish had never seen her like that. He only saw a friend. But she probably didn't beleive that.

Lumi felt a coppery taste rise in his mouth but ignored it.

He turned away from the two serpents just as Lucy said, "Krenari? Are you okay?" The Lumineon froze. He only then realized that she was correct. Fear rose within him, making his heart beat a flutter. Had she been hurt? Did she abandon them? ...No. That was not like her. Lumi frowned before swimming slowly to the surphase, poking his head above water. Spray showered his face from the waterful as he called out, "Pride? Where did you go?!"

((Skip please, nothing to work with. >.< Was stalling for Tails))

A smile graced his features when the Gorebyss turned to him, having the same expression. He quickly glanced up the falls, seeing the Vaporeon and Kabutops waiting for them. "Hey Lucy, grab on." he murmured, giving a gentle poke his his ripped tail. "I can carry you up to them."

His mind slowly went to the Lumineon. What was up with the kid? With such an angry expression and brisk actions, it was pricking at Zeqme's nerves. With a soft sigh he calmly decided to ignore it. Can't let my temper get the better of me now.

[[OOC: Hola, mi amigos! I'm now in Sunyshore. ~ouo~ I hope to have fun RPing with you guys, haha.]]

Kvove drifted into Route 223 near Sunyshore, her dulled eyes gazing towards someplace far away, her fins mechanically propelling her forward. She ignored the rocks that scraped at her fins and left crimson streaks in them, even when they caused purple blood to trail in the water. The Lapras had been swimming aimlessly for a while, not paying attention to her surroundings, nor her own state of disrepair. She was covered in scratches, dried blood spattered here and there. Her shell was a mess, with many of the horns fallen off and other holes and cracks riddling the carapace. The air around Kvove spoke of apathy and sorrow, only emphasized by the soft tune she hummed.

Suddenly, the Lapras stopped, both humming and her lazy swim. She noticed three things. First, a faint voice, just audible over the roar of the nearby waterfall; second, two pokemon next to the falling waters by the cliff; and third, the scent of blood. Kvove flinched back, slightly. She hated the scent of blood. It made her dizzy, and the primal urge to tear and destroy only increased around it. It seemed that the smell was mostly coming from the blue creature above the waterfall. Kvove squinted her eyes, but couldn't make out what pokemon that was. Her eyesight wasn't the best.

Kvove floated there in the same spot, not sure what to do. The smell of blood compelled her to go near, but her paranoia did the opposite. What if they were other Undead trying to attack her? What if they were owned by scientists? What if they were aliens brought to the surface of the Earth by the stars who planned to override the planet and form a new civilization? Well, okay, the third one probably wasn't going to happen. But they were could still be potential enemies, and Kvove would rather not deal with that department.

Instead, the Lapras continued to zone out in the same spot, going through absurd possibilities in her head, ending up floating in the same spot for a couple minutes. Her dull, red eyes gazed off, turning hazed by thought, almost forgetting her surroundings.

"Hey Lucy, grab on." Zeqme murmured, tapping Lucy with his ripped tail, feeling it made the Gorebyss wonder what happened to it, but pushed the thoughts away as he continued, "I can carry you up to them." She gave a dainty smile, as she got on the Milotic, it was weird, considering they were both snake-like. What if the she falls off? Or she's too heavy for Zeqme to carry? She glanced at herself, of course, she can't see. Was she too fat for Zeqme to carry? To skinny that she could easily fall off?

Her thoughts were immediately broken off by Lumi, "Pride? Where did you go?!" Lucy turned to him, frowning, "She's alright, I smell fear coming from her, but there's no Undead around (besides us...). It's probably a wound, so we'll go up there as fast as possible (though she could just use Aqua Ring on herself...)" An awkward smile came on her face, was Lumi going to yell at her again? She felt their friendship tearing apart, he was pushing her away for some reason, and he seemed grumpy. She glanced back up despite her lack of sight, "How about you Aegis? Reached the top yet?"

The Gorebyss inched herself closer to the Milotic, whispering in his ear, "Let's go, quickly. I have a bad feeling..." Oh shoot, she forgot to say the magic word - "Please." There we go. Now to hope she could get Zeqme to carry Lumi up the waterfall as well.

Lumi was still in a foul mood and was not at all pleased when the Gorebyss turned to him. Despite the way he instinctively wanted to move closer to him and her optimistic face wanted him to mirror with his own, the Lumineon just settled for a poker face, no emotion showing at all. He had heard the stupid serpent off to carry him and he was not pleased.

Not at all.


 "She's alright, I smell fear coming from her, but there's no Undead around (besides us...). It's probably a wound, so we'll go up there as fast as possible (though she could just use Aqua Ring on herself...)" The pink fish smiled at him again, but the striped fish merely turned away from her. His eyes were narrowed with pain and many emotions going through him. What the hell was going on with him?! Lumi was thankful when the Gorebyss called to the evolved shellfish."How about you Aegis? Reached the top yet?" Lumineon could not help but wonder the same thing. He sighed, feeling his smaller fins slowly move his body away from the serpents. He wished Pride and Argis would come back... He liked them. He trusted them.

And neither of them made him feel this weird.

A thought flashed in the back of his head but he refused to think about it. No, it was surely something else. But as he suddenly saw a shadow move across the ocean floor, he whipped around, eyes wide with fear. That was when he saw it, a huge dinosaur like Pokemon.... He easily recognized a Lapras, one of his favorte water Pokemon. Lumi was quick to decide that he wanted to befriend this new person-hopefully she would not make him all crazy like Lucy- and boldly swam right up to it, stopping a few yards away. But that was when he noticed- a very clear discoloration on the Lapras' fin. His eyes hardened. Another undead? But just as quickly relaxed. The fish had brought out the best in Lamialuce  and Pride, surely he could do the same with this one? 

The Lumineon poked his head above water, pausing a few feet from it. He smiled at her, a tired one due to the stress he was feeling but a smile nonetheless, and nodded to her. "Hey there! You lost?" The fact that this new undead could attack him was far in the bowels of his mind... Hidden with that fleeting thought from earlier.

((Ooc; Broskis, it is Noon now lulz They traveled for a few hours.))

(OoC: Skip please.)

((skip please. >.<))

Zeqme stayed still as the Gorebyss latched on, not wanting to accidentally make her fall. As soon as the conversation ended his body tensed, feeling the unnerving vibes from Lucy. "Let's go, quickly. I have a bad feeling... Please." He nods, immediately beginning his trip up as he floats onto small patches of land.

Levitating, he slithers his way up the rocky walls, body elegantly molding through the cracks of the stones. It wasn't long before he reached the stop, his scales covered with grime and dirt that was wedged inbetween the rocks. "There," he mumbled. "We're at the top."

[ooc: I apologize for my late post, just having a busy week and weekend.]

Kvove continued to watch from far as another pokémon appeared over the waterfall; a little blue and gray fish. A small hum of hunger passed through her stomach, but she ignored it with a shake of her head, continuing to observe the group. Wait, where did the blue and gray fish go? Kvove had taken her eyes off for one second, and it had disappeared.

However, her confusion didn't last long. The Lumineon popped its head out of the water only a few feet away from the Lapras, and she jerked back in surprise, albeit her reaction time being a little slow. Was it talking to her? It was talking to her! Kvove straightened out the thoughts in her mind, trying to focus on the fish pokémon instead.

"Hey there! You lost?" it asked, a smile on its face. It seemed friendly enough, but Kvove looked at it warily. She stayed silent for a few seconds, unanswering, before finally shaking her head. She wasn't lost, per say, but she didn't have anywhere to go or to go back. She glanced back over to the waterfall, seeing two more figures emerge, both with snake-like bodies. The dinosaur pokémon could sense that at least one of the group was another Undead, or at least an Infected. Kvove seemed to shrink back a little bit, turning its eyes back onto the Lumineon. So many new pokémon today. The Lapras shifted a little awkwardly, having not intended to actually interact with any of them, but the Lumineon had come to her.

{OoC: OTL I'm so sorry, but please skip. Just say that Krenari said shes here and is still waiting at the top of the waterfall)

Aegis didn't follow the others up the top of the Waterfall. Lucy would be fine with Zeqme and Pride at the top, but Lumi still needed a way up. Twisting his body, he tried to find the smaller fish in the miles of open water. He groaned as he located the Lumineon, and then the groan turned into an exasperated sigh. It would seem they had picked up another one.

The red eyes of the newcomer were all to familiar now. He knew this was another undead. However, it hadn't lashed out yet. Perhaps it had control over itself, like Krenari or Lucy... Aegis was skeptical, but stalked closer to Lumi. He said nothing, but stayed at the ready. Just in case.

Lumi quickly discovered that this Lapras was not, well, as he had hoped. His smile twitched as she regaurded him with a hesitent, almost wary glance, nearly being replaced with a scowl on his face. The fish had only been trying to make a new friend and try to get over his mixed feelings regaurding Lucy and the Milotic, but the damn thing didn't say a word. Her gaze flickered behind him, shaking her head to his earlier inquiry. So she wasn't lost, but she sure as hell didn't appear to know ehere she was. This made Lumi frown, displeased, at her.

The Lapras finally just turned her great neck, regaurding the Lumineon with an almost blank stare. During this awkward interaction with the newcomer, Lumi was more than awear of Aegis coming up along behind him. The shellfish was not streamline and a silent swimmer like the others so Lumi could hear him from a mile away, always alerting him to the presence of his friend. But with no words being spoken, the fish was finding the Lapras less desirable by the second. He had wanted to make a new friend, but this chick was just turning out not to be too social. But instead of being an annoying little kid, Lumi just flicked his large fins, sinking beneath the water for a second before resurfacing. "Well, I'm Lumineon, or just Lumi. My friend behind me is Aegis." the large fish gave one more smile before turning away from the Lapras. He had not heard much from the others but what he saw was an odd sight.

Simply because he... He saw no one. Lumi and the gray Milotic were simply... Gone. A chill ran through the Lumineon, widening his eyes and making his heart start to race. Where had Lucy gone? But he forced himself to stay calm. His pink eyes flashed back and forth through the sky several times, but all he could see was Pride. Fear truly began to whell up in his small chest. Without a word to the Lapras or Aegis, he shot forward through the water and right by the cliff. "P... Pride?!" Lumineon yelled, fighting to keep his voice steady, but it squeaked like a younger kid when he continued. "Have you seen Lucy? Can you see Lucy?!"

(OoC: Skip. ^^; Sorry for so many skips.)

"The others are up the waterfall already. Pride went up herself, and Lucy and Zeqme went up together." Aegis said, pointing with his scythe for emphasis. Or at least... they HAD been there... Krenari stood on the top of the cliff, waiting for them, but the others... Where had they gone? Aegis shot himself vertically in the air with an Aqua Jet, trying to get a better view. When he came back down, he shook his head solemnly towards Lumi. "Zeqme and Lucy are gone. I don't see them anywhere, down here or up there."

"Well, I'm Lumineon, or just Lumi. My friend behind me is Aegis," the fish replied, before swimming away. Kvove tilted her head a bit. 'Lumi'. It was a nice name. Short and sweet. Like the fish itself, Kvove supposed, except it was more just friendly and open than sweet. Short for sure. The Lumineon looked a bit annoyed when Kvove didn't reply though, giving the Lapras a sad feel inside. Was it because she was undead?

She watched as the fish swam away, calling for a name of someone Kvove didn't know. The brown pokemon, 'Aegis', began talking to Lumi although she couldn't hear what they were saying. The Lapras slowly swam over to the group, head a little lowered, but curious. Aegis seemed to be telling Lumi about some pokemon that went missing; 'Lucy' and 'Zeqme'.

"...Who are they?" Kvove's voice was raspy and quiet, hoarse and rough around the edges as if she hadn't used it in a while, or her throat wasn't working well.

[ooc: Blahhh crap post today.]

Krenari glanced down at the fish poking out of the water.

"P... Pride?! Have you seen Lucy? Can you see Lucy?!"

Krenari slightly glared at the Lumineon, not quite feeling nice again yet.
"No, I haven't" she said dryly. She had no care to really pay attention to the others right now. She watched as they tried to climb up the waterfall, not very amused at all.
