Group RP Pokemon Legends: The Dragon Pearls and the White Ghost (IC thread)

[That, I dunno,] Emina scratched her head in confusion. [Can we take it for safekeeping, by the way? I don't wanna see people fighting over this, honestly.] Both Nagisa and Fumiko nodded in agreement at the last remark.

 

Nagisa signed an "OK" with his free hand with both Fumiko and Emina voicing the same thing. While it was safe to assume that they both interpreted his signing, it was actually more like the three saying "OK" in unison. That said, Fumiko tried sensing everyone's auras again, but...

"Uh-oh."

The auras were all scattered with Kotone's and Makoto's being the farthest from her current location. She had no choice but to drag the painter duo to whoever closest to them.

(To @WavePearl and @Azelflover1, who should be the (relatively) closest to the Moss Rock: Pearl Deerling, Ruby Phoenix, or Mai?)

 

(Definitely Pearl Deerling)

 

(Okie dokie. Now moving on~)

It took them not that long until the trio spotted Pearl Deerling and Luchabull nearby. Well, more like Fumiko following their auras, but eh. Either way works.

"Ah, Pearl Deerling!" Fumiko called out as she and the painters got closer. Nagisa then showed the shimmering green pearl to the Guardian Spirit and signed with his free hand, "Think this is the one? An Eevee, no, Leafeon found it near the Moss Rock." And Luchabull wasted no time hopping on Fumiko's shoulder and taking a good look at the pearl.

 

So, unlike the main group, and perhaps as Nagisa might have feared, Kotone had dragged Makoto and Belle far and far away from the main group to a different part of the forest. The irony was that Kotone was desperately trying to look for the group, when in fact she was dragging Makoto and Belle in the other direction.

And they ended up at, of all places, 'the ruins of an old house' that Ruby Phoenix had briefed the team about. Not that Kotone had any clue.

"Uh..." she pointed at the ruins. "That doesn't look welcoming."

Makoto shrugged. Belle had to agree with Kotone. The ruins looked anything but comfortable.

(Assuming those ruins are in the forest)

 

Nice, Nagisa thought as he put the Jade Shimmer away for safekeeping (OOC note: added Jade Shimmer to Nagisa's inventory). He then looked around... but there were only Emina, Fumiko, Luchabull, Pearl Deerling, and himself right there.

"Where are the others, by the way?" Fumiko asked. "I mean, the auras are all scattered..."

 

Kotone looked at Makoto. "What should we do, Mako?"

Makoto shrugged.

Belle pointed at the ruins. [We could always take shelter in there, I guess? Just so we have a roof above our heads.]

"If you want," Makoto muttered.

"W-wait! Makoto!" Kotone said, but it was a bit too late as Makoto and Belle walked away to the house. Nervous, Kotone drew out her staff just in case if anything happened.

 

(So Ruby Phoenix is not far behind Pearl Deerling and the Gekkou duo are already in the Old Chateau old house...

@Azelflover1 where are Mai and her Pokémon, by the way?)

 

(Mai and her Pokémon are back where the group originally was after turning up unsuccessful.)

 

So Ruby Phoenix was nearby and so did Mai and her Pokémon. Junaiper, as usual, had been hiding between the trees and foliages. "Welp, two left," Fumiko mused. Once again, she tried sensing the Gekkou duo's auras and making her way to follow that. Little did she know that it would lead to 'the ruins of an old house' that Ruby Phoenix had briefed the team about.

"Don't worry about the pearl," Nagisa signed to Mai. "We found it already."

 

"That's good. Hopefully, we can return them soon," says Mai. Aaron seems uneasy, a worried expression on his face. He tries sensing everyone's hadō, though Fumiko may already have that under control.

 

Okay, now that's spooky. The ruins seemed to be even spookier than Junaiper's aura. And speaking of auras, the icy blue and fiery red ones were in there too.

That said, both Nagisa and Fumiko waited for a "let's go in" signal.

 

Kotone, Makoto, and Belle were already deep in the ruins of the old house with staff, sword, and abilities drawn. Kotone looked like she was about to freak out at a moment's notice, whereas Makoto looked just like the exact opposite. Belle and Makoto were being alert and cautious.
