Group RP Pokemon: Journey of the Sacred Flute (IC thread)

So we have a dilemma. Evergreen said quietly. We can rescue the cub now, or we stop that raid. Which is easier?

"Obviously the former," Maria whispered. "But it looks like they're on the warpath or something. Maybe we should stop them, and then save the Teddiursa?"

And I thought this was a low-ranked lost-and-found quest. The Gardevoir sighed. It wouldn't hurt to dust off our combat skills though.

 

'Good' as Mel and Pachi ran over tk the small cage. Hoping they didnt see them

 

Peri stepped out. Not knowing exactly how to communicate to the Teddiursa, he attempted to send a message to Evergreen who could. "Could you tell it we are here to help, and ask for any information regarding where those poachers are headed - and if there are any more trapped Pokémon in here?"

 

"You mean those other caged Pokémon a few ways over there?" Lunti asked, pointing further down the trail as Bagsik climbed back atop his head. "I found them after I got lost, heheh..." he added as the Treecko muttered something about his nonexistent sense of direction.

 

Evergreen was about to do exactly as Peri asked but was a little distracted by Lunti's report. But she relayed Peri's questions to the Teddiursa in Pokémon language anyway. She knelt down to the Teddiursa's level. [We're here to help, my little friend, or, uh... Teddiursa-san. We're here to bring you back to your mother! We want to know if you know where your kidnappers are headed. Can you tell us?]

Maria simply stood behind, watching the conversation unfold.

 

Pachi was small so she climbed almost through the spines of the cage. Hugging it to reassure it also

 

[The town?] Evergreen said. [That's just not right! Let's see if we can do something about it.] Watching Pachi comfort the Teddiursa, Evergreen nodded and reiterated the cub's information to the group. Do we have a duty to stop these bandits? she said telepathically.

"I'm all for that. I didn't count on our quest turning into this though." Maria scratched her head. "I guess the little girl couldn't afford it? Or she didn't count on this happening?"

 

Mel clenched her small fists and took out her ribbin like weapon. "Lets go get them

 

Mel sudden thought for a momeny. "Daddy can Pachi and I bring him home while you all search for thise bandits?" Pachi still hang on teddyursa

 

"Teddy lets go home" Mel said holding out her hand

 

Should one of us go and escort them, just in case? Evergreen asked.

"That would mean one less able fighting member," Maria said. "I'm sure Mel can take care of herself. Don't tell me you're doing that because you're attached to Kiri-"

Shh! Evergreen interrupted, her face becoming pink. Alright, you win.

 

Mel lookrd one last gaze to Maria and Evergreen wondering if she said anything. "I will be fine. Im strong" she smiled as she ran off leaving everyone behind her

 

"Does anyone know where they need to return to?" Peri looked over at the cages. "Even if we set them free right now, or soon, they might not know where to return."
