Adeline smiles. Adeline-Of course! Take a seat- it'll be right out. I'll go place the order, and when I come back, tell me about yourself. *she leaves*

Sade-Yup yup. And, as I said before, the members of the Blades simply were almost them, almost, until something happened to disrupt the process. In my case, I died before the process was complete. But that is neither here nor there;if you really wanted to know everything about the deities, you'd go to Lady Yuna. She made them, after all.

Lugia: Yeah, that confused me too. Dragonite: *blushes a bit and takes a seat* Pignite: I said nevermind! ...Look, i'll tell you, but...it has to be private, ok? It's...someone that you wouldn't suspect.

Sade-How should i know? Even the complete deities don't really know everything about themselves, even if they tell you they do;that's why I say go to Yuna-she gave everything power, and is probably the single most powerful being..maybe even exceeding Arceus. Or you would go to Yuna if she was whole anyway.

Lugia: It sure does! Pignite: Well, if you wanna know now, can we go to our room then?

Sade-*waves a hand dismissively* Didn't I already tell you the story? She's in Gail's head. We gotta wait till that Zoroark dies. I mean, unless you found a bigger chunk of Yuna's consciousness floating about than that? Cause I guess technically we all got her in us.

Adeline soon comes back, and sets the meal in front of him. Adeline-Such a busy night! It's very unusual. What brings you here?

Lugia: I agree with Nero. Dragonite: Well, me and my friends were just passing through this village, but i think i might actually want to stay here for awhile. Pignite: So, where's our room at?

Sade-Oh no, that's other Vale. Vale is the one with the punching. Gail's gotta sword, so she would probably just render you in two~

Lugia: Uh, yeah... Should we investigate? Pignite: Ok then, let's go looking then. Btw, I have solo and ensemble competition tomorrow, so I won't be home until...sometime after 8:00 p.m., jay's time of course. Yay band! ...Being sarcastic.

Sade-How many times must one deal with that one dead Pokemon? *she walks into Nites room, explaining about the school as she goes* Adeline-Really? Then I look forward to seeing you around! I'm sure well be fast friends. Oh and my friends, I'm right behind you. I put the key on your table-3D. Third floor, first door. Did you not see?

I'll see you guys tomorrow as soon as I can! At least I have all of Saturday off.

Sade-Gail said the same thing. Now why would he take part of Nites soul..? *she watches Nite for a minute* Like I said, souls tend to heal or destroy themselves, when fractured or broken, or torn or anything. His is already healing. Of course, room 3D is where she said it was, clearly marked on the door. Inside are two beds, a bathroom, a window overlooking the garden, and the usual inn style.

Sade-Oh? Well now, that almost never happens.. it stopped. Hmm...depends what layer and what section got taken...*she dissipates* Echo-What? No. Get out.

Echo-*studies him a moment before shrugging* Doubt I could stop you anyway. Do what you have to do.

Echo-Im stubborn, but I'm not my mother. I know when someone's stronger than me-not do I have as much pride either. Why waste energy on a battle I cannot win? I doubt you're going to kill me;if that's what you intended to do, then it would already be done.

Echo-You're an odd one. *she does as he asks* May I ask why you would need spirit energy for?

(Touching each other?) 😰

That's what I was asking you. .w.

._. Good. 🔥🍪🔥

Hello.

Lugia: *follows Nero out* Pignite: Yeah, this place is pretty nice. (There's only one bed.. Am i gonna have to share with Umi, or is he gonna make me sleep on the floor or couch?) Dragonite: I'm sure you and i will get along just fine. But enough about me. Why not you tell me about yourself a bit?

*clearly stated there are two beds* *Abner* Adeline-Well...my name's Adeline Baker. I tend to my aunt's inn, but when I get the chance, I love to paint. Echo-They have? Then again, my family and the Sonozakis are always causing trouble,so it shouldn't surprise me. *she watches it, not flinching* And why would you need it? Research?

{Yay for derping!} Pignite: Right, ok. *lays on the other bed* Dragonite: You paint, eh? That's cool. Everything needs some color, so painting and coloring are goods ways to make something seem more...alive i guess.

Adeline-Sometimes the paint gets on my fluff though. So I don't do it often. And you said you were an explorer? Echo-Cant see why it would be useful in any way, but then again, what do I know? Is that all you needed?

Hello?

Echo-Is that how my spirit looks like..? Odd. But anyway, no problem.

Echo-Oh? *she catches it* Thank you, I suppose;would it be too much to ask what it does?

Dragonite: Yep, i sure am! I've got lots of different treasures from my travels as well. Pignite: Cause i didn't want you getting hurt or anything. You know i act as your bodyguard! Besides, your dad said i had to look after you, so that's what i'm gonna do!

Adeline-Really? Treasure? Sounds fun, if dangerous~

Dragonite: It's both fun and dangerous really. Dangerous getting the treasure, fun when finally getting it! Pignite: Sorry Umi, but it's my job to watch over you now! You're not getting rid of me anytime soon.

Echo-Perhaps it will come in handy. Thank you. Adeline-Oh? Tell me of one of your adventures.

Dragonite: Hmm... Well, one time we went to some ruins and found this really bright stone, but when we grabbed it, we got attacked by bandits, but we fought them off and got away. But those same bandits kept showing up and it's been getting tiring lately.. Pignite: *pales a bit* Y-you wouldn't do that to your best friend, right?

Adeline-Oh you poor thing! Well, don't worry about bandits anymore; this town's chockful of powerful pokemon to keep those bad ones away. Echo watches as he leaves, and turns her attention to the glowing orb. Echo-(Now why would a stranger give me this? What secrets does it hold? I've never read of such a thing..)

Lol why is my face 0o0?

Dragonite: That's relieving to hear. They almost got the jump on us multiple times. I need a little break from them.. Pignite: Then i'll stay on your good side...most of the time.

Echo-*ears draw back slightly from surprise, and she looks at it curiously.* (What..? Its..talking. He mi ni cha..what could that mean?...)

Pignite: Well, i still might smack you if you do something i don't approve of.

Echo heart beats a bit faster. Echo-(It's...trying to say something? Its clearer now. Help you? Nii-chan..! Oh! Help me, Nii-Chan. Big brother. Help me, big brother.)

Pignite: Yes, i am.

Echo-(But...I don't know how to help, or who's speaking..though it rings in my head..) *she lifts it carefully, going to her room with it*

Pignite: C-c'mon Umi, stop it! You're freaking me out!

Echo-(Ack, its constant! Alright...I read this in a book..lets see if it works..) *she sets the orb down, concentrating inwardly;she extends her own mind, extending a trickle of thought to the orb*

Pignite: If it means taking care for you, then yes.

Echo, worriedly, touches it with her own mind again, looking for a conscious. Echo-(Hello? Hello..? Anyone, anything?)

Pignite: *blushes* I... I don't know.. I just...am.

Echo-*flinches slightly, unused to mind contact* (My name is Echo Tala. Please, I want to help...who are you?)

(sorry just saw that) Adeline-Well then consider this your home, and rest easy ^-^

Pignite: I know, but i don't want anything bad happening to you. That's why i've got to look after you. I just have to. Dragonite: Thank you for welcoming me in. *finishes eating and sighs in content* And thanks for the food as well.

Echo strains to keep the mental connection up,, being not a psychic type and instead using spirit energy. Echo-(Please, I speak the truth; I want to help you.)

Adeline-*laughs softly, taking away his tray* Did you like it then?

Dragonite: I loved it. Best meal i had in months.. I've been so used to eating berries and acorns or just whatever we could find, i forgot what a decent meal tastes like. Pignite: Which is why i'll protect you. Ever since the Kou incident, i've made it my job to be your bodyguard! So i'll give myself up before i let something happen to you, got it?

Adeline-*hums happily for a minute, as Altaria do* Glad you enjoyed it. No berries or acorns to scavenge on here. *she picks up the tray,and leaves to the kitchen* Echo-(Light? What do you mean by that? There's all sorts of light-the sun, or a lamp;happiness and stories; what kind do you mean?)

Dragonite: Hmm... I wonder what the kitchen's like. *decides to follow Adeline to the kitchen* Pignite: Sorry, there's not a way for you to change my mind. I'm gonna watch over you whether you want me to or not.

Echo-(Lets see..it's night time. So. Hold on a minute. *she frowns, concentrating, and illusions herself as an Espeon, and begins to glow brightly.*

The kitchen is bright and clean; an old wood fireplace in one corner exudes heat, while lines of stones, ovens, and far, far back, a pantry and massive fridge can be seen. Several pokemon can be heard from behind the large wooden door; Oh but he's awful sweet, I dont think he'd cause us harm! But what of our furniture? He's a large pokemon-the costs will be atrocious. cont

Then dock it from my pay. We charge each and every pokemon the same. Have a crush, do you Adeline? Adeline storms out, glancing at dragonite before blushing cherry red and hurrying past. The inn door slams shut. A sableye, the chef, crosses his arms as he walks out the pantry and sees him. Sableye-Whatcha want?

Pignite: No, don't! C'mon Umi, why treat your best friend so meanly? Dragonite: *blushes very slightly* (I-i didn't hear them all that clearly, but..) Oh, i just wanted to see what the kitchen here was like. I was just curious, that's all.

Echo-(...I'm...putting my trust in you. Please, do not abuse it.) *the illusion fades, and she does something that strains her, and trembling, she joins consciousness lightly, allowing him to control her body. * (Please..can you see? It hurts to do this for me.)

Pignite: Ok, how long might this take?

Echo-(What are you talking about? *she blinks, body trembling* The womb? Were you never born...?!) The Sableye grunts. Sableye-Well you see it.

Pignite: *sweatdrops* Joy... Dragonite: Yep, and now i'll take my leave. *walks out the kitchen*

Echo-(I feel like...I should know who you're talking about. Like my ancestors knew who you speak of.)

Pignite: Yep, you did. Still, i wish you could come up with your answer a little faster.

Sableye-Suit yourself. The Inn is empty, besides an old goodra who sits in the corner. Echo-(..........It starts with an N. I think. But its like a dream i've long ago.)

Pignite: Mm... Changing the subject, you said you wanted to know who i liked, right? Dragonite: It must be later than i thought. *goes into his room and flops onto his bed* Hmm, a lot happened today..

Echo-*concentrating still, she stands* (A place called The Sanctuary. It used to be known as the Barren, and before that, it was called Sebastian's City.) *she forces her body to look outside* See?)
