Thread: PMD: True Strength - Start Up

OOC: I knew I missed something. You can wake Autumn up.

Corey looked around at the remaining sleeping pokemon. He figured the most likely one to get everyone up would be the leader, so he went up to her and gave a laugh that sounded more like a shaking scream, right near her ears, and flew back in case she lashed out when she woke up.
"Corey!" the Scorpion Queen said disapprovingly. "She could have woken up on her own, you know! Geez!"

Autumn startled jumped in the air and landed on her feet, looking in every direction to see what was going on and sees Corey. "I sure hope your not the reason why I woke up." Autumn says to Corey in a evil glare.

OOC: Good afternoon everyone. :)

"Actually, I was. Hee hee. Anyway, good news. Guess what we found last night?"

Autumn continued her stare and said. "What did you find?"

"Yeah, what're you talking about?" the Scorpion Queen turned to the Shuppet.
"Max. Quit staring at the wall and show them. Max. Hello?"
Max slowly turned to them, his eyes dark and haunted with nightmares. He slowly blinked, coming out of his trance. "Yeah, what... Oh." He opened his bag and pulled out an object. "The Fist Plate, one of the sixteen plates of Arceus. And I don't remember you saying this was one of your map locations."

Autumn's face was full of shock. There was no way that could be what she thought it was. "I can't believe it. It's the Fist Plate. Where are earth did you find that?" Autumn asked.

Dylan stirred, awakened by the ruckus being made. He had fallen asleep a while after the Riolu appeared from the back of the cave and said it was him there. He still had his quick claw in hand, and the carving was laying not too far away from him. He sat up, rubbing his eyes. "Wh-what's going on...?" he asked through a yawn, still sounding quite groggy.

Chris looked outwards at everyone and considered everything a bit more seriously than he had before...

"You're all digressing as you talk from what could potentially be a grave situation. Why didn't Autumn say it was here, and, if she honestly didn't know this is where it was located, why didn't she?"

Crystal woke up with a yawn.

"What? What did I miss?"

"I think Max found one of the plates" said Chen. He went up to Max.

"Awesome find buddy. Hey...are you alright? You don't look so good."

"Memory nightmare," Max told Chen shortly, then turned to PokeLegend. "She has a tablet with three locations on it, and that's all. She can't know anything else." Finally, he turned to Autumn to respond to the first question he had been asked. "It was in this very cave, actually. It's a narrow and long one, but there's only one path and then there's a dead end, where there was this thing."

Woah, we already found a plate... Dylan thought, surprised that it didn't take too long. Then he started to worry: "That's great and all, but doesn't that mean the task ahead is harder? Like, this plate wasn't on the map, so that means that there are more out there at who knows where," Dylan stated, sort of talking to himself towards the end of the statement.

"Eh, we found this one even though we didn't know, right? So it's gotta be fate-" the Scorpion Queen was cut off by Max.
"Fate? Really? You believe in that crap?"
"Um... Uh, anyway, how about we just go to the designated locations? Get the easy part done first, and just keep an eye out for anything along the way, huh? Then we'll look for stuff off the map."

Chen chuckled.

"Max, lighten up will ya? Try to have at least a little fun."

Crystal hovered over to Scorpion Queen.

"Yep that sounds good to me."

"For two years, the only thing I've head time to think about was survival. This situation isn't all that different. And you just want me to lighten up and have fun?"
"Oh, c'mon... wait, two years? What do you humans do?" Rose asked, surprised.

"Awesome. Let's get going, then." the Scorpion Queen began walking, followed by Jenny and Corey, then Willow.
