The CHARGESTONE Team

"That's okay, Sav. As long as you are more careful. ... In fact, I know a place where we can rest. The other cave might not be as safe because of the Jolteon. It isn't dead. We--"

Savarin smiled and trotted towards the end of the bridge when Arashi said this, waiting for Arashi to follow him. He looked back to Arashi right as he cut off and the Golem stepped onto the other side of the cliff. Savarin gasped and turned on his hoofed heels. But it was too late. Before he could turn to get Arashi, the bridge had already started to fall. Savarin gave a concerned whimper as his pupils shrunk. He stepped back a bit frantically, and ears hit his head as he put them back. He stood at the other edge, and watched as Arashi started to fall. His heart turned to solid ice. He couldn't say anything as the spider disappeared from sight. Savarin went up to the edge of the cliff and frantically looked over the edge.
"Arashi?" he called over the edge. He got no response. He the started to flip out. "Arashi?... Arashi?!" Savarin trotted along the sides of the chasm in fear, hoping his friend was alright. He suddenly felt tears burst from his eyes like mini explosions.
"Arashi!! ARASHI!!!" he screamed into the chasm, the cave echoing his 10-year old sounding voice. He stared down into the abyss for a long while, then sat down on the cave floor, his whole figure hunched over as tears flowed from his eyes. He miserably whispered.
"Arashi...."

Things moved very quickly. Arashi scrambled to back up to the safety of the ledge where Savarin was, but the normally solid ground was falling. The Golem continued to roar and pound itself against the bridge until it finally gave way. As a result, the Golem fell just as much as Arashi did.

He cried out as he was suddenly faling through thin air. The spider flailed with all of his arms in vane as he tried to find something to grab onto and save himself. He smashed harshly into the wall of the chasm and released a hiss of pain before he continued to fall. Suddenly he hit land, hard rock and dirt smacking harshly as he landed on his back. I thought the ground was farther away... ran through Arashi's mind before the world went black.

"Arashi...."
The one wprd woke the Galvantula and his eyes snapped open with a gasp. He tried to get back up but released a groan of pain. Ouch. His back hurt, quite a lot. But he could not leave Savarin thinking he were dead. He focused his eyes onto the very top of the canyon. He was maybe ten or fifteen yards down. He could easily crawl back up as soon as he recovered. "S-Savarin!" he called, his voice but a croak. "I am okay! I can crawl back up! But... Ugh, give me a minute!"

Savarin's ears perked up at a voice spoken. His eyes opened, tears clearing from his eyes.

"S-Savarin! I am okay! I can crawl back up! But... Ugh, give me a minute!"

Arashi croaked at him from the bottom. Oh dear Arceus, he survived! Savarins chest started to lift the two ton weight that had been set on it. Savarin's eyes shone with a new light. Arashi was alive. His heart melted as the bright light of his excitement shone through. He grinned from ear to ear and jumped around.
"Arashi! Arashi!! You're alive!!! Dear Arceus, I thought you were dead!!" Savarin leaped up and down. He was way too happy to be concerned with the ledges in here. He didn't even think about it. The sheer thought of his friend being alive made him want to fly and touch the stars. His face was teared with different kinds of tears; tears of joy. He leaped around, his hoof hitting the stone and making a musical tune. He looked down the cliff edge again, waiting for Arashi to surface. He hadn't been this excited since he saw Felix win a huge championship. Felix wasn't even that big of an issue anymore as far as he was concerned. Although it doesn't mean he doesn't love him, but... Arashi was his family now.... Family.... Savarin felt like he could jump off the edge of the cliff and fly. He waited as Arashi tried to climb up.
"Arashi! Are you sure you can get up here?" he asked. He was ready to sacrifice himself or anything important for him.

(OoC: Yessss. >|D)

After a few seconds the Galvantula finally felt that he had recovered enough to return to Savarin's side. With a low groan, he expertly leaned from side to side until he had anough momentum going for the Galvantula to flip onto his legs. Only after years of practice could he do that. He was just shaking his furry body when the Blizle called to him, "Arashi! Are you sure you can get up here?" The Galvantula threw a grin up at him, but the cavern was too dark for the quine to see. Not to mention that he was thirty feet down on a ledge on the side of the chasm. The spider called back up, "Yep. Just hold on sport! It may take a monute!" Arashi wanted to make sure that he was in one peice first. Didn't want to show up in front of Sav with one leg missing or somethig. He wriggled each appendage in turn and sighed in releif. It was a goddam miracle. Even Mocha and the TM were still in his tight grasp, despite a small scratch on the bottom of the disk.

Arashi wasn't worried about it though. Everything would work itself out. Securing his grip on the human items, he called up to Savarin, "Heading up now!" and then tentatively set one of his legs on the stone wall. Small trickles of electricity came down in little strings of energy and he purred as the blue charge wrapped around his leg before being ansorbed into his body. Ahhh, he loved the place. But the Jolteon flashed behind his eyes and his mood sobered up. The Galvantula could not leave the kid up there alone for too long. And so he set to expertly climbing the edge of the wall, finding grips well enough despite it being far from smooth in places.

Within a few minutes he had reached the top of the ledge and finally managed to climb over the top, meeting Savarin's wide oceanic eyes as he finally was in safety. Arashi purred happily, thrilled to be united again with his companion despite how goddam sore he still felt. He was about to speak when suddenly a... Flareon? A flareon with dark cerulean eyes and oddly colored ears leaped out of no where, shooting at the Galvantula with long bounds. Luckily the spider was well over a yard from the edge of the casm so he could afford to slide a foot or so from the sudden impact of the Eeveelution. Arashi released a hiss of supprise, instinctively moving in front of Savarin in case it proved a threat "GET OUT OF HERE," it hissed with urgency, revealing to be a boy by his voice. "Wh- wha?" Arashi mummbled in confusion, dropping his protective stance in front of Savarin. He then composed himself, his eyes hardening. "Why? We have been here all day and have managed to hold our own. What could you have seen that is so terrible I cannot just take care of it?" The duel type was completely oblivious to the approaching figure in the distance.

Savarin jumped around Arashi as he surfaced from the cliff. He was filled with so much happiness he almost couldn't contain it. He was ready to prance off with Arashi before a Flareon charged out and tackled them.

"GET OUT OF HERE"

Savarin saw the Flareon go at Arashi and he growled.
"What the heck are you doing?!" Savarin yelled in anger and protest, suddenly slamming his foot on the ground and dragging it back, lowering himself into a charging position. He was not gonna let this pokemon attack Arashi and get away with it.

(OoC: So sorry I have writers block. OTL)

((Skip me please. Just say that Arashi gave the Flareon a look like he is crazy and started to walk away with Savarin.))

The cave was dark and damp as the stones crackled with electricity. The small dragon slithered through the cave as she looked around for living. She held onto the Ursaring doll as she slowly made her way deeper into the cave. She was scared and lonely, but she not dare talk to other pokemon unless she was sure their were living.

The young pokemon came to a small hole in the rocks and relised she was really tired. So she curled up with her Ursaring doll and wondered into the dream realm. As she sleep, something in the deepest part of the cave stirred at the presence of the young dragon, but stayed in the darkness. Waiting for the right moment to attack.

Rezz didn't like this place, it was crackling with electricity, and being part flying type, she didn't like electricity. The Vullaby clutched the bone skull she wore, as if it was going to fall off. If not for her small wings, she would have flown out of here by now, but she wouldn't be able to fly till she became a Mandibuzz. Thinking about Mandibuzz began to flash images of that flock that killed her trainer and friends. She shook her head, trying to get the thought out of her mind.

Chargestone cave was a place she had never been before. Her trainers Galvantula had been from this place. She had said it was a beautiful place filled with floating stones and blue light. Trying to ignore the electricity, Rezz took a look around, and it was true, the place was amazing. She wanted to explore every inch of this place, if not for it being filled with electric type pokemon.

Rezz looked around before seeing something slither into some sort of hole in the wall. Not knowing what it was, the Vullaby kept her distance. Watching as it curled up and, fell asleep? It wouldn't be undead if it was willing to sleep, unless it was some sort of undead trick. She didn't want to go near it if it was an undead, she was terrified of them, but something was telling her it wasn't. Very slowly Rezz began to walk over to the hole where she saw it go and looked inside, a look of fear on her face as though the blue snake was going to attack her at any moment, but it didn't, it just lay there cuddling a doll. Rezz could hear it breathing, and she let out a long sigh of relief that it wasn't undead.

Taking one of her small wings, she poked it. She had never seen a pokemon like this before, so it had to be a pokemon from another region other then Unova as Rezz hasn't been anywhere but Unova. Sure she had seen a few other region pokemon, but never this one.

The Staraptor was flying for what seemed like forever. In its
talons was a small Petilil. Tired. Weak. This was how she was in Floaroma.

The Staraptor suddenly let go of Lilli, from a height low enough not to kill her, but high enough to hurt her. She hit the ground hard. She slowly got up, and moved at a sluggish pace. Where was she? She heard shouting, which made her want to run away.

During her running, she saw two things. One appeared to be a small blue smake-like creature, the other a small black bird. Lilli felt that she was safe around them instead of the shouting voices. She approached the two with caution.

Savarin watched as the Flareon continued to yell at them.

"There's time for me to explain please just get moving. I don't know how long I can hold him off."

Savarin rolled his eyes. "C'mon Arashi let's go." Savarin began to walk off, but then heard the same yelling, demented voice he heard before.

"I will find you. MOTHERFUCKER I'LL FIND YOU. you hear me? HONK."

Savarin froze in his footsteps. This was the same person who made him already feel uncomfortable in the beginning. The Flareon growled at them.

"OH FUCK! YOU GUYS NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE NOW!"

Savarin trembled and let out a small whimper. He looked to the Flareon, then to Arashi. "Arashi, I think he's right.... Let's get out of here!" Savarin waited for the bugs response, which seemingly took forever but not that long; only a second.

It seemed that Savarin was starting to get neevous. His posture changed within seconds and Arashi turned to regaurd him with mild suprise as the equine let out a soft cry. His wide eyes flickered from the Flareon and back to the Galvantula."Arashi, I think he's right.... Let's get out of here!" Arashi was already turned and simply nodded in response. The Eeveelution was reminding him an aweful lot of the skinned Jolteon. A chill ran down his back before nodding. Yeah, lets go son." The pet name was beginning to come up more and more to the spider, almost instinctive nowadays.

But they duo didn't get far. Within a few seconds there was a lot of screaming- and cursing- in which a Scrafty came up out of no where. There was a feral gleam in it's eyes, a few scratches not helping it's image. It was about to attack the Galvantula, but then the Flareon jumped on it's,err, face or something. He turned his head to adress the electric thoe with those intense eyes, nodding. "You should go now, who knows when Gamzee will snap again. Just be careful to walk and not run or Gamzee will take that as a challenge and try to attack again."

The words were only whispered, but Arashi could hear the real urgency behind them now. He didn't dare mock the fire tyoe now. He met the dark eyes seriously, replting with a silent nod. He would have loced to talk more with the Flareon, but the Scrafty may act up agIn. Arashi turned again, nodding to Sav. "Let's go," he whispered and led the way away from the odd two.

As the small dragon slept, she felt something poke her. She slowly opened her purple eyes and found she was looking at some kind of bird. She Wrapped 'round her stuffed Ursaring even tighter. It didn't look infected, but then again the small Dratini had never seen a newly infected pokemon before. Let alone one like the bird she was looking at.

She tilted her head and slowly came out of her hole. She wasn't really sure what to do with this bird, so she just looked at the bird with her big purple eyes. She didn't know what to say nor did she even KNOW how to talk. She was only a few mouths old and and her parents were dead. At the thought of her parents, her eyes started to tear up and she Wrapped 'round her stuffed Ursaring doll even tighter. She missed her parents, even though she never met them. She was alone from the start and she hated to be alone.

(Skip. Just say Lilli was looking around the cave)

((OOC-Without Tails there is not much I can do. Please skip.))

((Well, awaiting Savarin... >>" Skip. Sorry...))

(Waiting for Winter to response, so skip also please. I promise i'll post on my next turn)

The strange pokemon came out of the hole and proceeded to look at Rezz. The Vullaby simply looked about, though then out of the blue it started to tear up. Rezz began to flap her wings, her eyes wide with serprise as the blue snake wrapped tighter around its doll. "P-please don't cry." She said as she tried to think of something to make it stop.

Rezz had no idea how to make the little dragon type happy, but she noticed that the thing was just a baby. A few months old at least, does that mean it doesn't have any parents? Rezz's face turned to sorrow for the little blue snake. Did it even know life before the infection took over? She didn't know, but she didn't want to leave it alone if there was no one around to take care of it.

Lilli was amazed by the cave she was in. It was blue inside and she felt a bit of electricity go across her small body. It tickled, and made the young Petilil giggle with glee. She thought it looked so beautiful. It was like Floaroma, but Lilli hoped she wouldn't find mean people like Sister in here.

She was so mezmerized by the cave that she went in deeper. After a while, she got lost and hungry. Hunger. Her one weakness. She got dizzy too, and it wasn't long before the Petilil blacked out, tumbled down a small slope, and hit the ground hard enough to wake her up.

Great. Now she was in pain and hungry. Lilli teared up and cried. Never in her short life has she ever felt this miserable before, and being born into the epidemic, that was saying something. She saw two figures in the distance, but she doubted that they could see her.

(OoC: I'm gonna leave it open for who sees her. Either Eve and Winter can spot her or Tails and Ciana.)

"P-please don't cry." Dratini looked up at the bird and sniffled. The tears had started to fall, but she had stopped crying. As she sniffled, she looked around and saw something. She made a small squeak as she watched the figure. Then she heard something that sounded like crying. She sniffled and slithered forward. As she got closer the figure looked like a bud or a flower. She wasn't quite sure, but she slithered closer and made a soft squeak.

(Short post is short)

Lilli's face got red from all of her crying. God, she felt like a wreck. She could already hear the voices of everyone from Floaroma calling her weak. Determined to break those voices, she stood up in pain. It took a while, but the Petilil stood.

Something came towards her. It looked like a blue snake. She wasn't sure what to make of the creature as it gave a small squeak. Lilli slowly circled the creature, making sure that it's no threat. Lilli gave off a smile and squeaked as well.

(What is it with me and short posts today?)

As she got closer, the bud thing circled and gave her a smile and a squeak too. She smiled back and in turned circled the bud too. Then she looked at her doll and offered it to the bud. She smiled and gave a small squeak. She was happy to have found someone like her and she used her tail and batted the bud's head. She smiled and made another squeak.

(I know what you mean Radio)

The blue snake smiled back at Lilli and circled her too. The snake offered the doll she was holding to Lilli. Lilli happily accepted the friendly gesture, which led to the other one squeaking too. The snake used her tail to bat at the bud's head, causing her to giggle a bit. She was happy to find a new friend.

Her happiness came to an end, however, when she heard a rumbling. She became scared and started to shiver in fear. It was then that she realized that the rumbling sound was, in fact, her stomach. Her face grew red from embarassment.
