Geo leads you now into the heart of the Safari Zone. There is a cavity on the town-facing side of the hill's roots, and that same side of the mountains themselves has been worn smooth by some ancient geological event. You also spot the now-familiar sparkle of Meteoric SuperConductor. Geo points out gentle trenches and hummocks in a line streaming away from the cavity. "Scientists think these were caused by some disaster long ago which created our gentle valley. Maybe a sudden flood, ultra powerful Pokemon attack, or geologic disaster. They think it might have something to do with the very strange assortment of Pokemon in the Safari Zone, thousands of years later. Safari Zone Pokemon are different than even the Pokemon a couple miles away in Teazel Valley or the plains, despite similarity of habitat."


"I led you to this crater thing because strange Pokemon are attracted to it. I recommend we search around here for the rest of the day, if you'd like to see something odd or rare that isn't normally available. If you're tired of catching Pokemon, we can spend a couple hours gathering this shiny flower. It's called Deyo and it has interesting/valuable medicinal properties."

Aggro: (5)

Rarity: (3)(2)(6)

Hovering over the crater you see a Lunatone, under attack by four Staryu. It's desperately trying to dodge the streams of Water Gun or hide behind psychic defenses. Lunatone is hard to find in the wild, outside of ancient mystical places. It's not renowned as a battler, though.

The Safari Heartlands......

A crater, deep, old, and fractured, caused by a celestial body on impacting the earth with explosive force....

Meteoric Superconducter, inundating the lands , drawing forth and leading to the manifestation of all sorts rare and arcane Pokemon....

Entity that emerged,  heralding from the empty blackness that was space and beyond, multiplying, dividing, and spreading across the land, like some plague, some virus.....

Their Light, their glorious and entrancing Light, holding messages and meanings he could hardly comprehend, even now.....

"Deoxys........" Terra breathed out inaudibly, his eyes vacuous and deep as he stared at the scenery, his mind reliving the fateful day so long and yet a short time ago, and his contact with the invader from outer space. So caught up in his memories and his experience he hardly paid attention to what Geo said at first about the crater - and also in part due to the fact he also knew exactly the reason it and the Safari Zone by extension existed - only slowly nodding along while continuing to stare unflinchingly at said hole in the ground.

Once they brought up his expedition and those Deyo Flowers, however, he snapped straight out of his recollections, shaking his head hard for a good couple of seconds to clear it, before turning to his guide and nodding.

"Good idea. We will stay here, and I.......catch the strange Pokemon here. If I find something......interesting here.....can I take it too?"

The rugged wanderers face then tightened into one of severe distaste and wariness as he thought about those flowers Ven warned him about, and sharply shook his head.

"No. No flowers. Leave them alone."

His voice was firm and hard, and absolutely brooked no arguments or discussions on the matter. Just because he reluctantly allows Shiva to collect that plant doesn't mean he would himself, or let anyone else endanger themselves by doing so.

In regard to the Encounter he spotted, the sagely monk's eyes widened in concern for a fraction of a second, before they hardened as he immediately rushed down to the cosmic crescent's aid, summoning Pixie and Dunny alongside as he traveled! Once he arrives, he and his partners place themselves right between the starfish and the moon, and he glowers at them with an expression that has caused even the most hardened criminals to quake in terror.

"Stop. Listen. Go away, and do not bother Lunatone again. If you refuse......."

The fierce fae gives the star collective two deviously fanged grins that boded nothing good for them, while the spooky spirit red eye pulsed with power as it conjured an menacing air about it.

"They will do to you, as you done to them."

Orders: Try to Intimidate the Staryu bothering Lunatone to leave, with Pixie and Dunny acting as his muscle and implied threat! The former's natural Intimidate should do wonders in reinforcing her partner's attempt, while the later is a Skull Ruins Ghost, enough said. If they don't listen/its not possible to Intimidate them for whatever reason, though, then Pixie will be using 3 Non-Lethal Crunches, while Dunny plays support with 3 Night Shades (Since Shadow Sneak is so unreliable due to using Stealth instead of Brawl, grah....) on the targets Pixie has weakened to help chase them off. If Lunatone flees in the chaos, Terra will let it, as he basically intervened to save it, so it running away still fulfills that purpose! Once more, it's time for Terra to come to the rescue, and woe be to his foes that necessitated his arrival!

Moves:

Pixie: 3 Actions - Crunch X3 (8D6 + 1 Non-Lethal Damage, *Lower Defense 1 [1]*)
Dunny: 3 Actions - Nightshade X3 (3D6 Damage no matter what, unless Spell Tag adds a Dice)
Dice Pools: Channel (10D6 - 1 Pain [Dunny {7/9 HP}]), 11D6 (Brawl)
