Quote Iron: It is now Day 75, early early morning. Too early to tell what the weather will do for sure, but the weathermen say it might storm.

In stark contrast to his usual routine, Terra woke up bright and early with a bleary, weary eyes and a frown, grunting as he dragged himself out of bed to get a cold shower to wake himself up. Though a veteran and seasoned wilderness survivalist, his three-day expedition into the Safari Zone had taken its toll, thoroughly wearing him out.
 
Not helping was staying up and Encounter those dangerous pestilent flowers, the whole debacle leaving him being bone tired Exhausted. He was four Pokémon richer from the ordeal, though, so looking back on it and everything else did managed to give him some pep and bring a slight smile to his face.
 
‘Trip through Safari Zone was tough, but very profitable and good training. Got Shiny Diggersby and cool Seismitoad, battled lots of giant Pokémon, and learned more about Deoxys. Not bad.’
 
‘Hm……was tiring, though, so will take break from training and not over work me or partners. Must pace self and recover, or condition just get worse later. Hm……maybe celebrate with team? Did do lots of hard work and grown closer to them, and not doing anything else……yes. Yes, will do that.’
 
With that trailing thought, his day plan roughly drawn out, and he emerged from the shower and headed downstairs to collect his Pokemon and head to the mess/cafeteria to grab breakfast for everyone. Not before he finished his week looking ‘cooking’ lessons, though, which combined with his intense study in the field gave his a grand total of 5 Points in Science: Chemistry! With that Specialized Knowledge, is it possible for Terra to be able to pick out/make the perfect meal(s) that supply him and his Pokémon nutritional needs and taste good, among other things? Just curious!
 
Regardless, after getting his fill, the sagely monk leaves the Center and proceeds to do the following:
 
-      Put his Overgrown Ferrow and Giga Psyduck up for sale, requesting either Poke or a fair trade for valuable Items for them.
-      Call Brazen the Shieldmaiden! Here’s what he has to say: “Hello, Brazen. Wanted to…..check up on you. See how you are doing. Have something to ask you, too: do you know anyone that would buy and can hande a Whiscash and giant double headed Octillery? They are very big and very wild, so I want to find right buyer, but don’t know….where to start looking. Can you help?”
-      Buy Medical Supplies to replenish the ones spent in the Safari Zone! Specificially: 3 Potions, 2 Super Potions, 1 Hyper Potion, and 3 Antidotes, which in total should cost $3500 Poke. If its possible, he’d also like to buy a couple of Chesto Berries and Persim Berries for whatever they are worth (he’s good for them), as you can’t really have enough ways to cure Sleep and Confusion! Also, is there a place in TV that sells Sitrus Berries?
-      Sell the small chuck of MSC for $750, and get the crown that Posei found appraised by the local tradesmen to get an idea of what it really is. Might as well, right?
 
After doing all of that, Terra is about ready to head over to the canteen/communal area and treat his Pokémon to a celebratory treat…..

Quote Spiritmon: Howdy Terra. Good morning mate. Heart here. I dont know if you receive my last message, so I will be quickly in my message: Keni and Nathan Uncle was kipnaped by those Scimitars, and take hostage to some kind of base of the Almanacs. Me, Shiva, Nathan and Spira is planning a infiltration mission to rescue everyone those guys have kipnaped. I the most stealth member of the Team, so my skills will be necessary. And remember Natu? He evolved when he say some sort of profecy about the future. Just ask Shiva or Nathan about the details.

Also I want to say something: Forgive me, my friend. I know you still mad at me after everything that happened. The suggestions of either kill or brainwash Juni when we were in the past. My agressive actions towards her. And to have disapointed you my friend. I was a idiot and a stupid person to have go so below the levels of those Scims. I should have acted better than that.

I dont know what wait us, but I want to at least have my friend clean and to depart in some mission before at least apologize to a precious friend of mine. Its okay if you dont want to answear that message...but know that I sorry.

Your friend, Joseph ArcHeart.

Quote PhantomUnderYourDesk: Hello Terra!~ (^_^)/ Shiva here, or the one you're calling a 'wise woman'. *snicker*

Haven't heard or seen you lately, is everything okay on your front? What you're doing, how are you? If there are trouble, please don't hesitate to seek us out.

Well, speaking about trouble - trouble has found us, there's been a ruccus in Cress City. Heart's the one who was at the place first, contacted us because there's something weird about the happening - in short, Keni Morgusi and Nathan's uncle were kidnapped, all of Mr. Morgusi's artworks have been stolen. We have reasons to believe it were THEM - Scimitars, yes. Ugh... I can't tell you much about the fine details now, that'd be long for a text message. It all points to Almanac's Labs not far from here, interpreting a prophecy Heart's Natu - now Xatu - made leads us in there. Yes, codename Dizzy is with us. He asked for us to come along, with 'us' now being me, Nathan, Heart and Spira. We'll get started tomorrow morning when the day breaks.

Why I am telling you all that...? Nah, that's not hard to guess: I'd wish for you to serve as a back up in case we're getting into trouble. Please do me - us - that favour, it'd help much. No, you by no means have to come and seek us out, if you don't want to get near their Labs you're not required to do so. My feelings are telling me that everything will go well, we're not unprepared, but just in case - if you don't receive a message from me within 24 hours after this one, it means that we've gotten into a mess. Please either come for help or send help to the Labs near Cress City, contact the League, the police, a willing Gym Leader. I'll leave Helios, my tough and smart Alakazam at Nurse Joy in Teazel Valley for you to pick up, I asked him to aid you with his teleporting skills. Just ask Nurse Joy whether an Alakazam with the OT 'Shiva A.' and an ID of 76990 is reserved for Terra and she will know.

That's all for now. I'm very sorry that we are...well, that we are heading into the Labs without you, everything went to fast and if it'd go after the Absol and Gallad we'd have gone in tonight already. I'll try to make up for that.

Enjoy your day, please don't worry for us too much. Greetings, Shiva.

…..When he receives two message is relatively quick session, reading through the first before moving on to the second.

His previously casual lighthearted sublimated instantly like ice cream down a hungry Sulgma’s maw, and his expression turned grave, pale, and thunderstruck. He then noticed the other messages the group left him the day prior that he missed and read through those too, dread mounting and a sense of shame and self resentment washing over him as he caught up on everything.

‘……..Oh. Oh no.’

His first thoughts were dour, cursing himself as to how he could nearly miss something like THIS, forgetting/not caring about the fact he was quite occupied in heart of the Safari Zone at the time the catastrophe went down. It is his duty to protect and watch out for his friends, and to fail it so utterly, to not be there and ready when they needed him most, and promptly respond to this heinous crime…….it hurt him worse than any Petal Blizzard.

He then got serious. Deathly Serious. Chuckles level of Seriousness

Through sheer force of Will, his earnest desire to make up for his ‘failings’, and the determination to make things right and just, he curbstomped his negativity and weariness into the ground, and promptly answered both his friend back.

To Heart: ‘ Got it. Everything. Not happy with your suggestions…….still feel bad about it too. …..But I understand. Understand why you made it…..and that you are sorry. So…..I accept your apology.

Not…..very good at being sneaky, very tired from trip through Safari Zone, and Keni and Oscar need to be rescued quickly, so will not be able to join group in……infiltration. But I will be ready to come to help if needed. Shiva told me where you and everyone is going, so will take up watch near Route where Almanac and Scimitar Base is. Will come if called or not hear from you in awhile, so do not worry. I have your back.

Take care, Heart. ‘

To Shiva: ‘ Doing good. Got back from three-day trek through Safari Zone, and caught lots of big and rare Pokemon. Will tell you more later, though. After…….your mission. Understand……whole situation and will take up duty of being backup. Not good with Stealth, very tired from journey, and……need to rescue Oscar and Keni quickly, so can not join group. But will do what I can to help. Promise.

May good luck be with you, and may your great skill and power bring you success and victory.
 
……Oh, and be well, Shiva, and don’t risk yourself without great need. Ven will kill me if something bad happens to you… ‘

He sends off his correspondence, and then rushes off to the Center to arrange his party to the following line up:

Dunny (Still Holding his Spell Tag)
Shiny Diggersby (Holding The Lucky Egg, for want of anything better)
Lapis Lazuli (Holding Life Orb)
Angie (Holding Sharp Beak)
Shiranui (Who has been Paralyzed for the Day, as usual, and is Holding his Black Belt)

And departs to Cress City with on top of his supreme seraphic serpent, using Agility to speed up their flight tremendously, not caring in the slightest about making a scene! From there, he quickly heads over to grab Helios, goes into the bathroom to…….prepare himself (FYI: Put on his disguise; will PM the details to Iron to save time/hash things out), then makes his way to the Route nearby the Cliff-Side Scimitar/Almanac Base, picking a spot that is relatively out of sight but nearby. The mountain of a man is now ready at all times to wade if needed, whether to rescue his friends are cause a great big ruckus!
