Journey to the Ends of the Earth
"...okay...so...the day the vines started growing, Kirlia had a vision...of a vine sprouting in the Skull Ruins...and according to Mesprit's message, there were only two ways to stop it...either Kirlia had to change and free Mesprit, or...we had to journey to the 'ends of the earth'...
"...when the vines were approaching Stair City...the group and I ran into some of the tangrowth that were guiding them...and one of the crown wearing claydol that was directing those tangrowth...we fought them off, but...things were getting bad, fast. I...went to Dagny to talk about the issue. She was the first one I told about Mesprit...I still don't want to say exactly where I saw it, though...it's well protected but...it can't move...it's stuck there until Kirlia frees it...anyways..."
"...she offered to help, do a little research of her own...and she turned up two stories. One about three pokemon worthy of speaking to the Lake Trio, and one about the 'ends of the earth'. Mesprit's worthy pokemon was...a ralts. That's one of the clues that helped me figure out part of what Mesprit wanted us to do...for what it's worth, Uxie chose an Oranguru, and Azelf chose...an Aegislash. I'm...a little concerned for Azelf's safety too, but...I don't think there's much we can do for it, right now, wherever it is..."
"...back on track, the other story was about an old man living in a cave at the 'ends of the earth'. Wise, powerful...Sarimanok once helped him seal away a huge pokemon that was near his cave...it...wasn't a lot to go on...but Shiva...she found some folklore from the Hog Potato Swamp that mentioned the earth and sky...two things also mentioned in Mesprit's message...one of the 'ends' was probably there..."
"...the vines were starting to get over Stair City's walls, though. The claydol were piling rocks from the surrounding area on top of the ancient stone from ye old days that the vines couldn't easily grow over...we...had to move quickly...do something about these vines...Dagny called me, asked me to bring anyone else who was involved...and she lent us some of her Metagross to get across the Divide quickly, reach Arrowroot Village as fast as possible...it took us four days to get there...I...actually found a very special friend on the way there, but I can introduce him afterwards if you want to meet him..."
"...we trekked across the plains, through the swamp, Swiftfire evolved, I caught a Ditto (it's not very happy with me, but I didn't want it to be subjected to a life of nothing but breeding, so I did what I had to...)...and...I didn't know what to do from there. After talking with one of the locals...we were in the wrong place. The 'end' we needed to visit was...at the opposite end of the Great Divide. And we were three to four days out from the Divide itself, plus another day or two from the western end of the mountain range...Stair City would have been...almost completely covered in vines by that point...Kirlia had another vision, one depicting what was happening in the city at the time...it scared me..."
"...Shiva, though...she...she'd dug up some lore concerning the Southern Wind...something about an incarnation of it able to Fly those who summon it northwards, away from the swamp...she...she spent a day preparing for it...if it didn't work, I was prepared to...just walk, really...it, worked, but...I didn't really contribute much...just suggested Kirlia act as a substitute for Braixen in using Lucky Chant to aid the ritual because she couldn't use her fox for some reason..."
"...and to my amazement...it worked...I couldn't believe it, but...I have some proof right here...this fluff that Forthright's sitting in? It's...Primal Altaria Down. Something the wind gave us if we were carrying eggs...and then she carried us towards where we needed to go, as far as she could take us...she landed us in the Divide, near Stair City, and the Tailwind she'd summoned...carried us the rest of the way to the western end of it the same night on the backs of the Metagross..."
"...time was running out, but...I felt that...knew that the tusk shaped peak at the very end of the mountain range was where we had to go. It had to be, or...Stair City would be..."
...
"...the climb up the Tusk wasn't easy, but the combee I'd brought with me (I can show them to ya too afterwards if you like. They're a sweet couple) found a safe path up...though we were sideways the entire time...and then some pokemon attacked. All part ground type, even though a Kabutops and a Beartic shouldn't be...I...didn't end up contributing much to that battle either...but we got past them..."
"...and found a cave. It was...filled with clay. And fossils. No food or anything, but there was an old man with skin the same color as the clay he was shaping through some...process involving making a lot of noise and not actually touching the clay...it's...hard to describe..."
"...after some talking with him, though...I think he's some sort of physical manifestation of the earth itself. A representative of nature. He has some sort of connection to some sort of golem in the ruins that seems to be involved in one of Sarimanok's schemes...we...convinced him to sever that connection, reducing the fertility of the soil around the Skull Ruins to almost nothing, leaving the vines with nothing to fuel their near endless growth...and in return, he asked all of us except Ventus to...spread the word that the Earthpower, a natural energy that connects every living thing and is most evident in pokemon, is alive and well...to protect nature...stuff like that..."
"...he...talked a little about how humans can use Earthpower as well, when I asked. Knowing it's there and deepening that connection...it helps when bonding with pokemon...someone who's connected enough can remove curses like Forest's Curse...and even deeper connected ones could make healing circles with the right resources...like the ones I've read Mediums in the Kanto region use..."
"...we...saved Stair City...but I wasn't fast nor skilled enough to save everyone..."
