(ACE) The RELIC Team

Sunshine was surprised to see Quarrant but was grateful at the same time. The Hypno may be creepy and such, especially when he kills others and becomes surprise at what he caused. Before she could answer his question he had put on a hat that look like a pirates hat and dove into the water. She really hoped that he will be able to help her get Glinyua and Kyoki out of the water. She continued to pull on Glinyua's arm, hoping that she isn't hurting her too badly, and soon had her out of the water just as soon as Quarrant was suddenly back on the shore in what seemed to be because of Teleport. Before she could ask how was Kyoki she felt the psychic type Pokemon's energy disappear. When she felt this Sunshine couldn't help but bow her head in respect of the now pass away Kirlia and let tears fall. She was always able to tell when a fellow Psychic type Pokemon died. She wasn't sure why she was able to sense this but she does. Maybe it's because of what she went through that had caused her gem to turn the purple color it is and her eyes be outline in red. Whatever the reason is she knew that Kyoki was no longer of this world. She hoped that Kyoki will have a better life in her next lifetime.

Quarrant was starting to lose his breath but he didn't let go of the Kirlia never the less...he held her plushy on his hand too, knowing that obviously it was very important to her...but suddenly...He didn't felt the water, he could feel the breeze hitting his skin and he could feel his lungs filling with air.

He opened his eyes, he could see he was next of the Espeon. And the Kirlia was on his arms but wasn't alive anymore, the Kirlia was now lifeless...I did all I could...I-I am sorry... he whimpered. He looked down but than he hissed, remembering his face. My face hurts...

...I did all I could...I-I am sorry... Sunshine heard Quarrant say and looked at the Kirlia in his arms. She realized that he risk his own life to save Kyoki even though she was sure his face was giving him constant pain. She gently laid, what seemed to be an unconscious Glinyua, down away from the water's edge so she wouldn't accidentally roll in and bowed her head. Her ear twitch to Quarrant's direction when she heard him say,My face hurts... I'm sorry Quarrant but I don't know how to stop your face from hurting,she said softly before she tried to find a good place to bury Kyoki where she wouldn't be attacked by the feral Pokemon that was out there.

(Since Glinyua is away I thought it would be best to have that she was unconscious or something until Lute gets back to her)

The espeon afirmed that she didn't knew how to stop the pain on Quarrant's face. He tilted his head still with the young dead Kirlia on his arms.

I just need Rab--I mean Bandages. I think that's what humans use to heal their own wounds.

I just need Rab--I mean Bandages. I think that's what humans use to heal their own wounds. Sunshine heard Quarrant say and knew he was right. At the moment she didn't have anything else to do besides find a way to bury Kyoki so she looked around the village they had come upon to see if she could find a Pokemon Center that will have the bandages. I think the Pokemon Center will have the Bandages Quarrant. I guess I'll just dig up a grave for Kyoki and once I do that we will head over to the Pokemon Center. I'll just carry Glinyua, she said softly and gently. She didn't think now was the time to be worried about Quarrant attacking her suddenly. Right now it was time to find a way to bandage him up. She was glad that she had watched Hikaru carefully when she cared for her and Panthera.

Slowly Sunshine used her front paws and began to dig a good size hole to put Kyoki's body in. Once she was sure she had it deep enough she use her psychic powers to gently lift the body of Kyoki and put her in the hole. It took a lot of energy but she didn't have hands to carry the dead Kirlia and right now Quarrant is hurt so he probably wouldn't have been able to help her without feeling pain on his face again. Once she had Kyoki in the grave she dug she made sure that the plushie she always had with her was put in her arms like she was sleeping and put the dirt over her hoping that the grave will be deep enough to keep scavenger Pokemon and infected Pokemon from attacking her body.

Once that was done she went back to where Glinyua was still unconcious and lifted her on her back hoping that she will be able to carry her. Once she made sure, with her tail, that the Ariados was secure on her back she looked at Quarrant and said, Come on Quarrant lets find that Pokemon Center and get you bandaged up. She gave him a slightly nervous yet sad smile before she began to walk further into the city.

Quarrant could only watch as the slightlest effor from his body would make his face sting. He wanted to help but he couldn't, he sighed and just looked down as he entertained himself on putting his hat collection in order. He sighed as he finished and so did Sunshine finished digging the grave for Kyoki. He smiled and got himself up.

They sarted to head towards the pokemon center like Sunshine has said when suddenly Quarrant remembered something...You know what day is today? I do highly believe it's my Unbirthday... he smiled.

You know what day is today? I do highly believe it's my Unbirthday... Sunshine heard Quarrant say which caused her to turn to look at him and give him a smile before she said, Well then Happy Unbirthday Quarrant. She wondered what he meant by an Unbirthday was and looked at Quarrant curiously, trying to overlook the way his face looked. From the corner of her eye she was able to see the Pokemon Center and said softly, Quarrant I believe I found the Pokemon Center lets head there. Then I'll put Glinyua somewhere in there where she will be comfortable and then help you bandage your face.

(You know I had a feeling that was going to come up soon Veno lol)

A very happy unbirthday! To me, to who? To me, oh you! A very happy unbirthday to all of me and you and him and us! Quarrant singed as they were walking, eventually having antoher of his fantasy strikes that didn't aid him to take care of reality.

But he suddenly stopped and blinked as the Espeon mentioned the Pokemon Center. He opened the door for her to get in. As he walked in he started to wonder off.Do not fret with any fretious and difficult trouble or troublesome with me. I shall take care of myself while you need to take care of that poor miss. We don't want her to turn out like the Queen of Hearts, do we? Oh no we don't, if we love our heads we don't. And I do love my head. It helps me put my hats in their places.

He wondered in but he could feel some presence...there was a few infected inside, no doubt. Quarrant started spinning his watching in his hand and he threw it in the air and grabbed his watch attacking a few infected Raticate and Zigzagoon that had infiltrated inside, he went exploring and found a couple of bandages, he grabbed on them and walked towards the bathroom to be able to get a mirror, he slowly started to warp them around his head. It wasn't perfect but it was just fine...Although the dust of the Bandages made Quarrant sneeze and unleash a cloud of Poison Gas from his mane. Oh my...bless myself there was no one here...This could prove Dangerous. but suddenly something fell on the ground behind Quarrant.

As he turned around he saw an infected Medicham...It seems it didn't survived the poison gas. Quarrant was about to leave when he stopped and took out a scalpel, the face of the Medicham was in perfect condiction and Quarrant wanted to keep his hat and mask collection growing, so he started to skin the Medicham, but suddenly it screamed and tried to claw at the Hypno. Quarrant growled as he took out his watch. LOOK! See this? This means we are late! We must hurry. You are feeling very sleepy my darling...your eyes are feeling very heavy...you feel like you are floating down a big hole...down to a land of wonders. he smiled as the Medicham started to fall under his control, Quarrant resumed back into cutting off the Medicham's skin, once finished he walked away to leave the undead to die again. It wouldn't be able to survive such injures eventually.

He quickly hided his new "Hat" in his bag and than he walked towards the Espeon standing at her side.I already fixed myself. It ain't a good job but, I tried as best as I could.

A very happy unbirthday! To me, to who? To me, oh you! A very happy unbirthday to all of me and you and him and us! Sunshine heard Quarrant say and just smiled a bit while they entered the Pokemon Center after Quarrant opened the door for her. Do not fret with any fretious and difficult trouble or troublesome with me. I shall take care of myself while you need to take care of that poor miss. We don't want her to turn out like the Queen of Hearts, do we? Oh no we don't, if we love our heads we don't. And I do love my head. It helps me put my hats in their places. She didn't have anything to say to that so she just nodded and let Quarrant go believing that they should be fine around him for now. She looked around the Pokemon center using either Shadow Ball or Psybeam on any undead that came at her while she continued to carry Glinyua to a comfortable sofa. She was glad to see something comfortable for Glinyua to rest until she comes to. Once she had Glinyua comfortable she stood watch over her. She kept a close eye on any possible dangers or attackers.

I already fixed myself. It ain't a good job but, I tried as best as I could. Sunshine heard Quarrant say beside her which caused her to turn to look at him. She gave a slight smile and said, It looks good Quarrant. She was, strangely enough, glad he was back because she couldn't shake a feeling that they were being watch by something and it caused her to look around to find out what cause the feeling.

Quarrant looked at Sunshine, she seemed troubled as if she felt that someone or something was watching them. Now that he thought on it...he could feel a strange presence too...He took out his pocket watch and looked at it tapping the glass softly.

Someone is late and is trying to hide, eventually? I feel as if being watch...Do you too? I wonder if it's the Dormouse...Quite sneaky it is...

[OOC:Skip please.]

Sunshine stayed under guard around Glinyua. Whatever was out there she wasn't going to let the Ariados be hurt while she isn't able to defend herself. Come out whoever you are. I can feel you with my psychic powers so you can't really hide from us. As long as you mean no harm to us or to our friend then you are welcome to join us but if you try to harm either of us well I'll leave that to your imagination. She nervously touched Quarrant with her tail. She wasn't sure why she did that but right now she was glad that he was with her and that she wasn't alone.

Quarrant gasped as he heard Sunshine talk. We're gonna let someone else join our tea party? He squealed and smiled childish as he clapped his hands together. His mind was obviously drifting off again from reality.

It seemed it was very easy to have Quarrant fall into fantasy and hard to bring him back. And right at this momment he was back into fantasy. He walked away and dragged a table close as he started to set up a tea set. He walked away still with the childish smile on his face. I'm going to get the tea ready!

Servous heard the words of the Espeon. Psychic type, he thought, what to do...he stood no chance against a psychic type. He heard the hypno as well. They may be friendly...or just putting up an act. Servous figured he had no choice but to either run or reveal himself...He peeked around the building to check how close they were. After determining they were a far enough distance he took off running to the cave. His webs would protect him from them if they pursued.

He ran and ran, and the Houndoom never stopped. This land seemed to be a bit too quiet for his liking. He had yet to run into any infected as he flew through the path he was taking. Jared smelled the air and found that he was quickly approaching a group of Pokemon up ahead. None smelled infected, but he soon saw an abandoned Pokemon center coming up the path as he skidded to a halt. His paws were sore, and he felt like he needed a rest, but he had to be on alert, you never knew what could pop out at you these days. He silently approached the building, smelling a whiff of dead infected from the building.

Ack the stench! It's fresh though...

He stepped into the entrance and saw dead infected, and one disgusting abomination with its face skinned off. He wretched at the sight and quickly moved away.

That isn't right, infected or not...who would do such a thing?

Suddenly he heard a few voices coming from nearby.
Come out whoever you are. I can feel you with my psychic powers so you can't really hide from us. As long as you mean no harm to us or to our friend then you are welcome to join us but if you try to harm either of us well I'll leave that to your imagination.

We're gonna let someone else join our tea party? He approached the group cautiously. There was a cave in the rocky wall that had many webs spread around it. He spotted an Espeon with an Ariados slung on its back. He assumed it was the one who had spoken earlier and he saw a strange Hypno in a crazy outfit who stunk of dead Pokemon...so similar the stench of the dead infected with the torn away face...

I'm going to get the tea ready!

The Hypno seemed to happy...Jared thought about what he could do.
They're Psychic..I can handle them...and that bug type...my fire can take her...maybe I should come out and see whats going on, he whispered to himself.

And with a leap he landed in sight of the group, chest puffed out and body at the ready to defend.


(OOC: sorry for the long post, just wanted to get a good start...They'll be a bit shorter later on)

Sunshine felt the presence from before fleeing. She wasn't sure on how to take that since it doesn't seem to be an infected or else that presence would have attacked them already. Soon she heard something land not to far from where she, Quarrant, and the unconscious Glinyua. She turned to see a male Houndoom was the cause of the sound. She watched him carefully ready to attack, even at a disadvantage, if she had to and saw that he was doing the same thing. This could only mean that the Houndoom wasn't an infected which was a good thing to know. Hello, you are welcome to join us as long as you don't bring harm to any of my friends, because Houndoom or not I won't let you hurt them. She then noticed, from the corner of her eye, that Quarrant has left to, apparently, make some tea. By now she was use to the oddness of the Hypno and just hoped that he won't kill anyone else. She still wasn't sure on what to think about him but she was willing to let it be for now.

She glance at the Houndoom once more and said, My name is Sunshine by the way. She didn't drop her guard at all as she spoke since she wasn't sure who this Houndoom was or if he won't turn on her.

Quarrant was happily making tea and he started to walk back humming a tune, eventually trying to fit some verse of the Alice in wonderland book he picked up a tea cup for himself. As he returned he saw the houndoom and his eye twitched, Quarrant's fist hammered on the counter, as he forced a sarcastic smile.

And the Knave of hearts is back. For what purpose may I ask? Wishing to take someone else to the queen? Will you be staying for tea? he hold the tea cup close to his mane that let out a soft purple powder.

It seems the Hypno was, again, confusing someone for a character of the book. True he never met the houndoom but in his eyes, Quarrant knew him to well and didn't found him that pleasent. Someone had to awake the Hypno from his delusional confusion or things can get Nasty.

As Servous reached the entrance of the cave he looked back to see that the pokemon were not pursuing like he expected them to. Perhaps they'd not seen him run? He eyed them and saw another pokemon with them, a houndoom. He knew these well enough. He suddenly remembered, despite the fact that they were good against his poison half, he was good against them, opposite for the houndoom however.
Funny, he thought, that I have an advantage against everyone, yet everyone has an advantage against me.
Servous began to approach from the cave, seeing they were distracted by the houndoom, their backs to him. He slowly, cautiously, sneaked closer, desiring to see what would happen before going after his mother again.

Outside Relic Cave | Morning (2)


Hello, you are welcome to join us as long as you don't bring harm to any of my friends, because Houndoom or not I won't let you hurt them... My name is Sunshine by the way.

Jared sensed that the Espeon, Sunshine, was a good Pokemon, but he didn't let his defenses down. The Hypno was off making tea, but he looked maliciously at him.

And the Knave of hearts is back. For what purpose may I ask? Wishing to take someone else to the queen? Will you be staying for tea?


As it spoke and raised the cup of tea to its mane, Jared noticed a puff of some powder near it that entered the liquid, making it smell horrid. He growled low and deep, not full trusting of the strange Pokemon.

You, Hypno, I don't think I'll be drinking much of that tea, or should I say poison. You stink of death...And Sunshine, is it? I would join you peacefully, but it seems your friend would like to kill me. I'm no fool, and neither should you be. He's insane.

Jared let out a bit of flame from his mouth to show he was serious, but then he remembered the cave and its glittering webs. He could smell another Pokemon in there and growled even louder.

By the way, we've got company...

You, Hypno, I don't think I'll be drinking much of that tea, or should I say poison. You stink of death...And Sunshine, is it? I would join you peacefully, but it seems your friend would like to kill me. I'm no fool, and neither should you be. He's insane. Sunshine heard the Houndoom said just when she smelt the horrid smell. She moved quickly to get Glinyua back on her back and turned and face Quarrant and back away slowly towards the Houndoom. Sure she could take on the Hypno without much trouble but she wasn't going to risk it when Glinyua was on her back. The Ariados could be hurt while she is unconscious and glance warningly at Quarrant as she slowly back away closer to the Houndoom. Sure he was a stranger to her but for some reason she felt she will be safer around him the Quarrant at the moment. Quarrant what else did you put in that tea besides the regular ingredients, she asked giving the Hypno a chance to admit that he put something in there and hoping that speaking to him will snap him out of her daydream world. By the way, we've got company... she heard the Houndoom say just before she felt the presence from before coming back. Yeah I can feel it, she whispered quietly back at the Houndoom and glance back at Quarrant.

They started questioning about the tea he held and of his own actions, Sunshine was moving away from him. Quarrant slammed the cup on the table furious, as it shattered and some of the bits got stuck into his fingers.

I PUT NOTHING IN IT! If he would choke in such fine made tea it his own fault for not be careful of how hot it was! And yet again the Knave is stealing my guests to take the queen! Always the same, always the one eyed freak! Always spoiling my Tea! And now he made me waste a good cup of tea! ALL HIS FAULT!

Quarrant growled as his face was stuck in an expression of anger, he put his hand on his pocket and retrieved his watch looking at it and getting even angrier. AND NOW WE ARE LATE! I should have taken care of this when you set your filthy paws in here! His eyes glew white as he held the watch by the chain, his face turning into a malevolent grin. And I will too! the watch started rocking back and forth as he attempted Hypnosis but it had no effect on the houndoom.

HAH! I KNEW IT! Under the spell of the Queen! Already under her control not letting me to have it! I shall have your head myself! he grabbed on his watch as he stared at the houndoom with hatred, specially by the fact it called him insane. And for your information...I am NOT Insane! I just adapted to the Queen's rules...to the Rules of Wonderland. You need to be Mad as a Hatter, which luckily...I AM!
