Group RP Pokemon: The Journey of the Spiritsingers (IC) thread

"Moon Stones? How enchanting~" Her eyes sparkled as she thought of what that would look like up close. "I must ask mother to bring us there for a visit." She nodded determinedly.

"So, what are we supposed to do for our first trial?" Desiree she shaded her eyes as she looked forward, hoping to get a clue as to what they would do.

 

Moonstone Lake. It already looked beautiful even from that distance. Too bad the trail didn't cover a visit to the lake. "Oh well, maybe next time," the brunet shrugged.

Like Desiree, Kai couldn't help but to wonder what to expect from the trials. "Yeah, what should we do when we get there?" he asked.

 

"Oh, okay."

For the rest of the day's trip (unless Lexi and/or Desiree had anything else to say), Kai took a look at his belongings once again. Sword in its sheath, check. Money, check -- 1000 sole should be enough for now. Blacky's and Sally's Pokeballs, check -- they're empty right now because the mons themselves were out and about. Ginger candies, check. Map, check. Good.

He then took his map out and unrolled it, trying to pinpoint where the group was going...

 

Desiree hummed, peering over Kai's shoulder to see the map. "So, we haveta calm them with our music?" Her hand brushed against her Bell's case, which had been muffling its noise as she walked through the trail. She couldn't wait to start.

Also, at some point in the walk there, Nettle had returned herself after getting tired from the walking. Songbird still followed dutifully behind her.

 

Kai, meanwhile, had his eyes trained on that one dot labeled "Rocky Keep" on his map for a little while before rolling it back. Rocky Keep. Didn't exactly sound like a comfortable living space. Then again, it was abandoned. He really shouldn't be surprised if the place looked a little... unkempt by the time they got there.

 

"Oh," Desiree slumped a bit, before suddenly springing back up. "Ah, is that the challenge then? To prove ourselves so that they may aid us in the more difficult trials ahead?" She nodded to herself. That seemed about right. But... "But wouldn't our Pokémon be enough?"

 

"So better safe than sorry, right?" Kai chimed in. Desiree had a point about having Pokémon by their side, yes, but Lexi's was equally reasonable too. Who knows if there would be stuff not even their Pokémon could do later on?

Unless there's anything getting in their way, the trio and their Pokémon arrived (?) at their destination after a little more walking.

 

@NyxieRina

Yep. Very unkempt for an old fortress. At least that was the first impression Kai got from the Rocky Keep. Sally had already retreated by now -- leaving him with Blacky who was busily sniffing around.

 

"Not much of a fortress in here, is there?" She can't help but say. It was very dilapidated and probably wont do if they were to stay in it. At least she didn't want to stay in there.

"Songbird, scope the area. I wanna know whats around here." Songbird chirped, before taking off to get an aerial view of the keep.

 

Kai, for one, marveled at the sight of what was left of a fortress -- or even a building, really. The stones, the vines, the remaining columns, everything made him wonder what this building would actually looked like in its prime. Must've been a pretty strong fortress, right?

Blacky, meanwhile, was mindlessly sniffing around to the point of not realizing that he's already heading to the roofed part.

 

Songbird cried as he descended, and Desiree whistled to him in turn. "Anything interesting?" The Altaria chirped. "Yeah, I don't know why I asked. I can't really understand what you're saying." Ignoring the weird chirpy laughter of her Dragon, Desiree looked on in the site. "How far do we need to go in there?" She wasn't looking forward to going in.

 

It wasn't until a little while after popping a ginger candy in his mouth when Kai realized that his Umbreon was missing. "Huh-- Blacky?" Don't tell me he's in there already, panic ensued on the brunet's part. "Blacky!!!" he called out while running inside.

 

Desiree was relieved. While she wasnt as picky as some noble children might be when it comes to travelling (if she was, she wouldnt even be here) she still had her limits. Limits that might be broken if the other member of their party had anything to say about that.

"Kai?!" She called out as the boy ran inside. "What are you doing?!"
