Daniel Bryan

IC - Darkrai/Lilycove: Five was caught by Vé, but the Darkrai was ready for it, allowing himself to be dragged close to the Deoxys, before launching a pointblank Shadow Ball.Seven giggled with insanity as he quickly leaped into the air above the Deoxys, sprouting legs as he delivered a kick aimed towards the neck of the space Pokemon.Eight, enraged that anyone would dare lay a hand on her, began chasing down Ariadne, launching waves of Dark Pulses. Three, unable to avoid being kicked, was launched in the path of Kyogre's Ice Beam, but thinking quickly, created a shield of purple energy which absorbed the attack, though the force still knocked her back.Two and One were struggling with the Latis, having to constantly avoid their attacks. Finally, the Darkrai launched Dark Voids, attempting to ensnare the Eon Pokemon within a nightmare.Four, standing his ground, also created a shield of shadow to absorb the Solarbeam of Groudon, though like his sister, was pushed backwards. As this happened, a portal opened beside the Continent Pokemon, letting loose Kyogre's Ice Beam, while a similar portal appeared beside Kyogre, unleashing Groudon's Solarbeam.Six, remaining silent, ducked her head into her body, avoiding the attack. She responded by using her legs to direct a kick to Vili.Sombra grolwed, charging directly into Rayquaza, aiming to grapple the sky dragon, seemingly resisting the damage of the V-Create, as a massive V-shaped burn started to form on the Alpha Darkrai's chest.IC - Seth/Abyssal Ruins: "And what is it you are supposed to be telling me?" Seth asked the Hero of Time. The Hero simply turned to Seth."You can't do everything on your own, Seth," he said quitely. "You rush into danger with courage, which I respect, but you fail to grasp that sometimes, you need allies by your side.""I know that!" Seth exclaimed. "I have Volt and my other Pokemon by my side!""Fool!" the Hero drew from his belt what Seth assumed was a sword, only to realize that it was in fact a cane. Seth noticed that the Hero's sword was actually on his back, but couldn't concentrate on the fact that Hero was waving his cane in his face. "I used to follow the same ideals that you hold, but I realized that I couldn't do it alone, and that is why I worked with my allies. If you keep focusing on yourself, you'll never succeed. Learn to accept help, and you'll defeat the Darkrai.""I can do it by my-""Fool! Did you not listen to my words? What would have happened had you faced Shade alone at Spear Pillar, would you have succeeded? No, you would have been crushed by him. What about Giratina? You never gave up, even when hope seemed lost, but you never would have lasted without your friends by your side." The Hero smirked. "Your friends need your help now, so accept this." Raising his hands above his head, the Draco Plate began spinning around in the air, as a smile came across the Hero's face. The plate slowly flew over, as Seth raised his hands to accept it."The Draco Plate... I've go what I've come for. It's almost time for us to face the Darkrai," Seth said, placing the plate in his pocket."I shall now send you to where you are needed," the Hero of Time created a portal, as his Stunfisk cheered him on. "Go forth, you'll see your friends soon, I can assure you." Seth nodded, taking his steps into the portal, as he was swallowed up into the waves of time.~Det

IC - Darkrai/Lilycove: "If your wish is to die... Then allow me to grant you that wish!" Sombra roared, unleashing a Dark Pulse. But much like the Deoxys, the Darkrai also joined in, as seven other Dark Pulses joined with Sombra, creating a powerful beam of pure shadow, heading directly for the Deoxys. "Witness the power of the darkness!"IC - Daseos/Lavaridge: "I hope you make it in time..." the Darkrai said, fading away into the air.~Det

IC - Daseos/Lavaridge: "They are currently in Lavaridge, but you had best hurry," said Daseos. "They are only continuing to grow stronger, thanks to this Void Tower." Daseos motioned to the large structure. "And from what I can tell, there is an even greater force on its way, if only for a short time..." Daseos began to flicker more.IC - Darkrai/Lilycove: Adam was struck by the attack, but quickly flew backwards, intercepting all of the attacks. When the dust cleared, Adam Sombra was no more, shreds of his cloak and scarf floated downwards. "Fool," said Four. "He knew he couldn't survive the attacks..." The Darkrai chuckled, seemingly amused by the destruction of his own ally. A sudden dark wind rolled through the area, a force powerful enough to send chills down even the spine of the Ancient Darkrai."Don't get too comfortable, my siblings," a dark voice echoed. "I've gathered enough power to make my appearance, though I don't have long, it will still be long enough for me to deal with the likes these so called 'Legendary Pokemon'." Adam's torn remains were ignited by a dark purple fire, creating a vortex which brought them all together, forming the shape of a Darkrai, one significantly larger than the others. "I am Sombra, the Alpha Darkrai, and the being who you will all bow before."~Det

IC - Daseos/Lavaridge: "At the moment, my siblings and I are engaged in battle with the Hoenn legendaries. Eight seems to be attempting peace, but I fear it will be for naught..." Daseos said solemnly. "You see, my siblings aren't exactly known for always playing fair when they find themselves outnumbered..." The shadow of Daseos's began to flicker. "It's starting..." Daseos said calmly, yet with a hint of worry.IC - Darkrai/Lilycove: "Come my siblings! Allow us to demonstrate that we are capable of unity!" Arthes called to her siblings. She turned to Ariadne. "It`s time to work together... For the greater cause." Arthes`face suddenly morphed into that of a human, his smile showing off his sharp teeth. 'Arthes' raised her hand to Ariadne, unleashing a Dark Pulse into the chest of the Deoxys. "You fool!"At the same time, nobody noticed that Rayquaza's shadow was moving on its own. A single glowing blue eye appeared on the sky dragon, before the true Arthes made her appearance, unleashing a Roar of Time upon the dragon, in an apparent attempt to remove the greatest threat.IC - Seth/Abyssal Ruins: "Is this the one who is supposed to be the current Hero of Time? Defeated by mere water?" said a voice. Seth woke with a start, quickly looking around to find the source of the voice. "Ah, I see you are much stronger than that, Seth Vicens...""Who are you?" Seth asked. As he rose to his feet, he couldn't help but notice that he was not only out of his diving gear and back in his normal clothes, but he also had all of his Pokemon back in their Poke Balls. Seth quickly grabbed his flute, holding it tightly. Before him, time seemed to stop, as the shadows became still, and any running water was frozen in place. A man walked into view, accompanied by a Stunfisk, of all things. He was dressed in what appeared to be armor over top of green fabric of some sort. He had blond hair and bright blue eyes. A tattered brown cape hung over his shoulder."I was the first of the long line of humans to be chosen by Dialga as the Hero of Time. My partners and I helped to defend the world from the threat of the Ancient Darkrai, waiting for their return," the man explained. "And now, it appears that they have made their appearance in your time..." The man motioned for Seth to follow, as he walked down into the halls."Do you have a name? And what are you? A ghost?" Seth asked, suspicious."I do have a name, don't we all? And in a way... Yes, I am a ghost," the Hero said. "Your friends will come to find the others in due time, but for now, come with me, I have much to tell you."~Det

IC - Darkrai/Lilycove: Arthes looked at the hand of the Deoxys, almost taken aback. "We... we cause so much destruction and death... And you still wish to make peace with us?" Arthes looked back at her siblings, seeing their different reactions. One seemed proud, in a way, while Two and Four seemed shocked at the fact that Arthes was even considering the prospect of peace, considering that she was quite possibly the most bloodthirsty of them all. Three was analyzing each of the Legendaries present, while Five was silent, watching Arthes's every move. Six seemed to be focused on something else, while Seven was dancing around."What is she planning?!" hissed Four, enraged by his sister's actions. Nevertheless, Four believed that there was more to what is happening than it seemed...Arthes grasped the hand of the Deoxys, albeit hesitantly. "Unity... through peace..."IC: - Daseos/Lavaridge: "The plates, Bounty," said Daseos. "Master knows that if he can't control Arceus, he can just absorb the plates as well, effectively becoming as powerful, with the world in his grasp." Daseos lowered its head, shaking it. "That has the possibility of complete failure, ripping apart everything in reality, but Master cares not, for he will have his revenge upon Arceus for our imprisonment.""We used to believe that he was trying to bring unity among them all... He brought a temporary unity... But at what cost?" Daseos looked into the eyes of Bounty. "I offer a truce, Bounty. Work with me to defeat my siblings, and in return, I will allow my serviecs to help you with what you need."IC - Seth/Abyssal Ruins: As Seth swam through the ruins, he couldn't help but admire the architecture. Still, he couldn't resist the force that was dragging him deeper and deeper into the ruins. A voice called out to him, both ancient, yet familiar at the same time. He couldn't help but hear his own voice amongst him. His thoughts were cut off, however, when a panel in the floor opened, creating a vortex of water which began to suck in Seth. "Ugh! Manda, help!" Seth called out. The Milotic quickly swam over, trying to catch her master, until she was suddenly caught in the vortex as well, unable to prevent them both from being dragged down into the darkness...~Det

IC - Darkrai/Lilycove: "How is us killing humans any different from them killing Pokemon? It is time for them to see that we are merely the bringers of judgment!" Eight growled. "Humans need to examine themselves and weed out those who would wish for the harm of Pokemon, and from what we have witnessed, you have merely been allowing yourselves to be controlled and used as if you were nothing but tools!" The Darkrai shook her head, staring at her hands. "It works both ways... They bring death to our kind... We do the same in return." The other Darkrai noted how she seemed almost... repentant.IC - Daseos/Lavaridge: "Not even I know the full extent of the Master's plan, though what I do know scares me..." The Darkrai turned to Bounty, a sorrowful look in his eye. "He's going to do one of two things: He'll either bring Arceus under his control though the power of the plates and use it to bring an era of shadows, or..." Daseos suddenly went quiet, shuddering thinking of the other possibility."Or he's going to kill the Alpha Pokemon and destroy everything he pleases."~Det

IC - Daseos/Lavaridge: "Ah yes, Eight, one of our most powerful... And Three, the genius of the group..." Daseos chuckled. "As for my identity in the caste? I'm afraid that would cause... Complications. Should word emerge of my identity, my siblings would most likely destroy me without a second thought." The Darkrai's shadow looked down, seemingly lost in thought before turning its attention back to Bounty. "My reasons for betrayal? My master has a goal to bring peace and unity... But at a terrible price..."IC - Darkrai/Lilycove: Eight moved forward, her collected and peaceful attitude scaring even Four, though he still could tell that Eight was still prepared for battle, and was most likely sizing up her foe, though recently, he was unsure what was going on with his sister's mind. "My name?" Eight laughed. The other Darkrai were clearly intimidated. Eight usually only laughed when she was causing pain and destruction, and no creature, human or Pokemon, has ever heard the true name of one of the Ten apart from Master Sombra, as far as they knew. "It has been so long since my true name has been uttered by any..." Eight's eyes glowed brightly. "I am known as Eight. But I am Arthes, Mistress of the Darkness.""Now, peace... Is that something that is working for your kind? We return to this world, and find it in war. Our reign brought about unity, and how quickly it has fallen apart... We don't wish for this, but from what we have observed, all that the inhabitants of this world are capable of is simple destruction."~Det

IC - Daseos/Lavaridge: "I am an ally to you, Bounty," Daseos said, his shadow moving around the man. "I know much about the Ancients. I know quite a lot of their history. In fact,." Daseos paused to turn to Bounty, floating over to him, until his "face" was close to that of the human. "I'm one of them."IC - Darkrai/Lilycove: Seven laughed at the new arrivals. Suddenly, a wave of seriousness overcame the normally insane Darkrai. "Oh foolish creatures... You really think so? True, we have been away for some time... But Master is far from weaker..." Seven chuckled darkly."You say you put aside your differences? Perhaps you should inform the humans, as it was their petty war that gave us our opportunity for freedom," stated Three. Five merely composed himself, shrugging off the attack.Eight moved forward, oddly calm and composed for her usual self, raising a hand to silence her siblings. "...Negotiations?" she asked in a cold voice. "And what, say you, are you exactly looking to achieve?"~Det

IC - Darkrai/Route 120: The V-Create struck the Darkrai, resulting in a large explosion. The smoke completely covered the area, shrouding the Darkrai within. "Fools!" hissed Eight's voice. "Have you really forgotten what we are capable of?" The smoke cleared, revealing Two, having used Protect to shield his brethren. Even so, he had clearly taken some damage from guarding them all, which Eight ignored. "Allow me to demonstrate what we are capable of!" Eight raised her palm towards Rayquaza, unleashing an Ice Beam towards the sky dragon. Seven wasted no time in directing a Thunderbolt towards Kyogre, cackling with glee. Four was quick to rush right into Groudon, attempting a Giga Impact.One, Two, Three, Five and Six backed away, but still prepared to come to the defenses of their siblings. Despite their willingness to help each other, their minds appeared to be elsewhere, and there, at the same time...IC - ???/Lavaridge: "My name... You may call me, Daseos. I am but a mere projection, but I am an ally to your cause, nonetheless," said the shadow, as it began to take form. Slowly, it took the shape of a Pokemon, with a single, glowing blue eye staring at Bounty. "I know much about the Ancient Darkrai... This definitely does not seem like some of their work... Perhaps Eight would... But even she has reasons to not cause this much destruction..." The shadow of Daseos examined the landscape, looking quite concerned.~Det

OOC: *sneaks in slowly*<.<>.>IC - Seth/Abyssal Ruins: Seth had been swimming for what seemed like an eternity. His arms were beginning to tire out, but Milotic kept pushing him, and Seth's will was too strong to give up. His friends were counting on him getting to the ruins and finding that final plate. He had to beat Shade, and then find some way to beat the Darkrai. Dialga was counting on him, and even if he failed, he would know that he went out fighting. Soon, Seth reached the Abyssal Ruins, gazing in awe at the structure. Taking in a deep breath, he motioned for Manda to follow him. With a nod, the Milotic moved ahead.IC - ???/Lavaridge: "It is truly an impressive creation, isn't it, human?" a strange voice whispered to Bounty. A dark shape moved along the ground, before hovering into the air before him. "I know everything about the creators... The Ten. But surely, someone of your reputation would have heard of them? They know much about you... Bounty."IC - Darkrai/Route 120: "Well, well, well..." said Seven, noticeably more serious than he had ever been before. A sick laugh echoed from the Darkrai as a tornado of shadows ripped across the land, spreading the darkness. A white-haired man dressed in black appeared in a burst of purple energy, his red scarf flowing in the winds. Adam Sombra had made his appearance."So... It appears that history is about to repeat itself..." said Adam. His Absol materialized beside him, rubbing against him. "This time, darkness will fall over the land... Forever."OOC: I didn't expect to actually see Adam again until much later, but I figured, considering my plans for later, why not? :3And yes, I do plan to get this going full steam again.~Det

OOC: Forgive the absence, real life problems are all grouping together now...IC: Tobias / Gerudo RuinsTobias could see the approaching sandstorm and immediately sped towards the ruins. Getting off of his horse, he inspected the door. Inspecting it, or so it seemed he was inspecting it, Tobias took a deep breath as he reached out... And pushed on the door. The door still shut, he shrugged. "I did what I could. Sometimes people read too deeply into things like this. Besides," Tobias said. "I'm no good at sliding things." Tobias stepped aside to give Orithath a chance. "You give it a try."~Det

IC: Tobias / Gerudo DesertTobias gazed at the structure, impressed by it. He gave out a low whistle as they got closer. His heart began beating with excitement. Tobias began speeding Cluejo faster and faster, though trying his best not to work the poor horse too badly. "We're so close! I can already imagine the excitement!" Tobias said gleefully.~Det

IC: Tobias / Gerudo DesertTobias raised his eyebrow at the mention of the hookshot. "A Hookshot, you say? I've heard talk of such things on my journeys, and to have it would be quite an advantage in adventuring..." Tobias chuckled. His thoughts began to trail off, as he imagined what sort of adventures he could have. He wasn't in the mercenary business for the money, the recognition, or even to do missions. He was in it for one thing: to find a greater adventure. Lost in thought, Tobias nearly lost control of Cluejo, but regained his composure fairly quickly and acted as if nothing had happened. Still, his mind returned to the thought of the woman he was searching for, and figured that if someone wanted someone else captured alive, then there must be something else going on.~Det

IC: Tobias / En Route to ancient templeAs they entered the desert, Tobias finally realized something: the desert was warm, and wearing dark clothing wasn't helping. Still, Tobias pushed forward. "So, Orithath," Tobias said, hiding the fact that he didn't like the heat. "Do you have any idea what we could potentially find in this temple?"~Det

IC: Tobias / En Route to Lake HyliaTobias' eyes widened with excitement. "Are you kidding? I've been looking for an adventure like this for quite some time, however, certain... events in my life prevented me from doing so.." Tobias said, looking over the map. "I'd be a fool to give up a chance to explore temple! Simply point me in the right direction, and it will be smooth sailing from there!"~Det

OOC: No prob xDIC: Tobias / Road to Lake HyliaTobias raised an eyebrow at the mention of the dungeon. He began imagining all of the adventure and excitement that could come with it. "That sounds like an excellent idea," Tobias gleefully admitted. "In fact, you can keep the payment for the ride in exchange for accompanying me there." Every since he was young, he wanted this kind of a chance, and he wasn't about to let it slip by.~Det

OOC: Kahi, I actually posted already and am waiting on you :3~Det

IC: Tobias / Road to Lake HyliaTobias could see they were quickly approaching Lake Hylia. "We're coming up on Lake Hylia," Tobias reported. "You have two choices: I can drop you off at Lake Hylia and we go our separate ways, or, I can continue on and accompany you to your destination."~Det

IC: Tobias / Road to Lake HyliaTobias thought how he could explain what he was doing without really saying it. "Well, I'm searching for a young woman by the name of Amy. She's... someone that I've heard about and wish to meet." With a gentle squeeze of his legs, Tobias set Cluejo back on their path.~Det

IC: Tobias / En Route to Lake Hylia"Simply call me Tobias," Tobias answered. He tried to think of what exactly he was going to say. "I am currently searching for a person who I have been told is at Lake Hylia. Now, would you mind doing me the honors of knowing who you are?"~Det

OOC: No problem at all, kahinuva.IC: Tobias / En Route to Lake HyliaTobias was about to pass right by the stranger until he heard that he would be paid. Turning Cluejo around, he approached the traveler and brought his horse to a halt. "Hello there," Tobias said, looking over the stranger. "I take it you are on your way towards Lake Hylia?"~Det

OOC: Well, when you put it that way, Tobias could be considered true neutral, I suppose xP I do intend to have him go a certain way eventually...IC: Tobias / On Way to Lake HyliaTobias continued his ride towards Lake Hylia, closing his eyes as he thought about all of his past. He remembered his old missions and how he never really cared. He then realized, that there was still another part of him that still didn't care, and even enjoyed it. He couldn't deny that there were some missions that he found enjoyable, he enjoyed the destruction he caused to the monsters he encountered. Tobias shook his head, trying to clear his mind. "I've got a mission to focus on," he muttered to himself. "I need to learn to focus more." He took a deep breath as he got closer to Lake Hylia, and slowed Cluejo down, ready to begin his search.~Det

IC: Tobias / Castle Town"Thank you very much," Tobias said to the woman. 'Lake Hylia, got it,' he thought to himself as he made his leave. Knowing that it would be extremely difficult to make a trip to Lake Hylia and back on foot, not to mention with someone else, Tobias opted for the easier option of simply purchasing a horse. It was a simple task, as he managed to acquire a brown horse by the name of Cluejo. He gathered some food in a bag and placed it upon his horse. With a slight struggle, Tobias mounted his horse and set off towards Lake Hylia.'Alright, so this is a retrieval mission, and I have no idea what this person will want with this Amy girl...' Tobias thought as he rode along. 'What is going on? Why am I suddenly trying to save people I never really cared about?' A smirk came over the face of the mercenary as he closed his eyes. 'I guess it's all just part of a bigger adventure... Still... I should try and figure out what exactly someone wants this girl for... And why she resembles Din so much.'~Det

IC: The Darkrai continued their assault on Fortree, spreading the fire and destruction as Fortree fell apart around them. Six silently watched as the flames grew higher and higher around her. Two watched her, he examined her, sensing that there was something... off about her. She wasn't originally like that, but once they had all been imprisoned, she suddenly changed. All the other Darkrai knew this, and even Eight, with all of her power, was concerned that Six had her own plans for the future...IC: After purchasing diving gear and leaving his other Pokemon behind, Seth returned to the beach, now simply in his jeans and diving gear. His Adamant shard was now in his pocket, along with his flute. Releasing Manda, Seth got on her back as they set off, guided by some other force...~Det

IC: Tobias / Castle TownTobias, having no idea where to find the red-haired woman, did the first thing he could think of. "Excuse me, do you have any information as to the identity of this woman?" Tobias asked several people, either being shunned, or finding no information. Tobias, as greedy as he used to be, was starting to think that more things were going on than it appeared. 'And it is my job to figure out what this all means.' Tobias reached into his pocket, pulled out some gold, and threw it to his other hand. 'I have officially accepted a job from myself to find this great new adventure!' he thought with a smile on his face. With a whistle and renewed confidence, he set off and continued to ask people questions about the identity of the woman.~Det
