"Well, I don't want to hand over this key and you don't want to join my cause. I believe we've reached an impasse... Tell me this, are you truly happy where you are? From what I've heard Absol's bad company. It's hard to think a sensible Pokemon such as yourself would follow an oaf like him. "I'm still here." Ansol said. "Not talking to you." Flareon said, not looking from Meowstic.

"Then you must have heard wrong." Meowstic said. "Absol is like my big brother and I'm his little sister. We are a family and I've spend enough time with him to know that he's not bad company. Even if he's not perfect. I can see that you and the pokemon here also are like a family. Shall I tell you that you'll never achieve your dream unless you leave these pokemon and get stronger ones, just because I see that they can't do a strong flamethrower yet?"

Flareon smiled, like she'd gotten the answer she wanted, "And one last question. You've made it clear you'll not turn your back on Absol. But what would you do if he turned his back on you? What if his loyalty and will weren't as strong as yours?" Flareon said lightly but with a serious tone.

Meowstic looked at Absol. "We made a promise at the start of our journey. If he ever forgets me." She narrowed her eyes. "He knows what I would do."

"Sure that's what you say, but how much do you know about Absol. How about this. Since you clearly know him so well and trust him, test his loyalty. If he can pass a test from you then I'll give you my key, I never had any intention of fighting in the first place." Flareon said and looked to Absol, "Of course, go all out. I'll accept nothing less." OCC: Where's Goodra

ooc: With Machamp. Since he's leading the way I'm bound by his awful timing. Meowstic thought about it. "Do you know what happened when Absol fought Eevee, Flareon?"

OOC: lol. I was leaving her entrance to you since I never specified how fast Machamp was walking. He's both empathetic and apathetic but still understands some level of timeliness. BIC: "No. Back then the system for the guardianship was much different then it was now. I wasn't even Flareon back then, still a little Eevee myself." Flareon said, truthfully trying to think back that far, "All we were told was that he was tenacious... And that Eevee couldn't wait for a *cough* second helping. Not her words exactly, but either way, we keep a list of pokemon that have found the wear abouts of at least one key. Most of them come to work for us protecting them, but Absol wouldn't have that."

Meowstic looked up in thought. Her challenge wasn't going to work if Flareon didn't know what happened, but she was sure there were two other guardians that did, so maybe it would still be accepted. She turned to Absol. "Flareon asked me to give you a challenge that would test your trust and if you pass it she'll give us the key. Tell my the truth about what happened in the fight between you and Eevee." She looked back at Flareon. "Would that challenge be enough for you?" She asked her.
ooc: I'm assuming Espeon and Umbreon is close by as always.

Meowstic thought about it. She trusted Absol, she knew him since she was young, grew up with him. How was she suppose to test his loyalty when his loyalty was something he has always given and not something she ever asked for. There was however one thing that the guardians seemed to know about Absol that she did not. But Flareon wouldn't know if Absol was telling the truth if she asked him. There was two other guardians that seemed to be around at the most convenient of times and who would know if Absol was telling the truth or not. She took a deep breath. "Flareon has asked me to test you." She told Absol. "And you accepted her challenge. My test is that you tell me the truth about what happened in the fight between you and Eevee?" She looked towards Flareon to confirm that she accepted the challenge.

"If you believe it will test his loyalty, then by all means ask away. Whether I accept his answer depends on what it is. I have my ways of telling if someones lying." Flareon said and shrugged, "Woman's Intuition really." Absol just looked at the two, "Seriously? You want me to recount what was probably my most embarrassing loss ever? Fine, if that's what it takes to get the key then I'll speak. It's not like you've got someone to test my tale anyway." Absol added and Flareon seemed to look at him with a watchful eye. She already didn't like how he was starting, but would hear him through to the end anyway. This was her idea in the end, "Alright, where do I begin. I was wondering around trying to find these keys that unlock a legendary power. I had only ghost stories and tall tales with which to guide my search so it took quite a few days. Eventually, while I was sleeping, I woke up to find Eevee sleeping across from me. At the time I didn't even know she was a guardian and I wasn't in an area where she should have been. I was deep in the jungle and all the tales said the guardian would be at the clearing. I decided to just leave and as I was packing up my food for the trip she had woken up and was already sitting down beside me. I didn't see or hear her move, she was just there. Never seen a faster Pokemon before nor since. Maybe Jolteon, but he's the only exception. I was younger back then so when she popper up I was none the less startled. I jumped back and she just watched me. I asked her what she was doing here and she just watched me. I then said nothing and guess what... She watched on. Once I felt I wasn't getting anywhere I decided to ignore her and walk away, which I promptly did. Her voice came as a shock as she didn't exactly ooze femininity. She said something along the lines of, "Weird place for an Absol to sleep." and "What are you doing way out here." to which I asked the same back to her. All this is boring so I'll just say that she ended up real close to me again and pressed a paw to my chest saying, "No one should travel alone. We should travel together. This shocked me again with her speed and I tried to back away but she was behind me and I bumped into her. I tried over and over again but she was too fast for me to track and the only thing I could predict was that she'd get in my way as I tried to leave. She didn't say anything for a while again and I think I started to panic at this point thinking I woke up in the midst of a psychopathy. She climbed up on my shoulders and latched onto my neck as she whispered various, mmhm, things I don't care to repeat. Mostly about how my body told a story and she wanted to explore my past. All this time I tried to shake her off to no avail and at the time I was too nice to barrel roll onto the ground, not that that would have worked. In the end, she hopped off on her own and I sat down, having given up on running away from her. She then pulled out a necklace she had tucked away in the fluff around her neck, in much the same way Flareon had, and showed me all 6 keys. That's about when I realized she was the pokemon from the legend. I ran at the keys but she came down on top of me, pushing me to the ground and stopping me in my tracks. She put the keys back and spoke at last about the keys and that it's not a power for the dark hearted. I told her I was a dark pokemon but had a protectors spirit instilled in me by my mom, but she didn't seem to believe me. She said that the hurt in my past was what cast a shadow on my heart and not my personality or morals or something like that. She said that if I could beat her in a battle and take the keys then they were mine. I accepted and the official battle ensued. I wasn't able to lay a claw on her because of her speed and she seemed to be tormenting me. She just zipped around on top of and under me and would poke my scars and say "boop" like it was some childs game. Come the end of the battle, I was tired but I'd learned how to track her movements. She held a rather constant pattern and I started to graze her or get some close shots. She then made a comment that it was time to stop messing around and in a massive flash of white I was knocked out. I think it was a hyperbeam, but I can't be sure. I woke up the next morning with a leaf tied to me head and more sore then I've ever been before or after. The leaf had a small map to the clearing where Leafeon now resides and read "Come by for a visit. I'd like to play again. There's some good in you deep down inside." After being royally owned, I knew I couldn't go straight to her again. I needed time to heal anyway, and I needed to get stronger and faster. I went to the location, hidden as best as I could, but noone was there. No sign of any life at all, Eevee or otherwise. This is about when I went training near the mountain where I'd find the village and Meowstic. And that's my worse loss ever, happy now?" Absol said and sat down, "I'm sure it was a riveting tale for you." he added, obviously mad, to Flareon who only shrugged once more She then looked to Meowstic, "What's your initial thoughts?" She asked Meowstic and she her gaze drifted up to the opening at the top of the volcano.

Meowstic noticed Flareon's gaze drifting up, but didn't look up herself. "I believe Absol." She said confidently. "And that makes me trust him even more. Is it enough for you to give up your key?" She asked.

"We won't know if that story's the truth for a while. Until then, perhaps you could let me ask a question." Flareon said and moved to sit down beside Meowstic, "How did he get those burns?" Flareon whispered very quietly. Absol seemed to perk up and listen in but couldn't hear. When he tried to move forward, Magmar moved between him and the girls and exuded a heat in his direction that forced Absol to take a step back. OOC: I FINALLY! Found the post where I linked Absol's character sheet. It's bad when you've posted so much in a forum you start forgetting where you left things. theweddingrp.boards.net/post/13327/thread

Meowstic thought for a while whether or not she should tell Flareon and decided that she would. "He got them in a forest fire before he met me." Meowstic said, her face expressionless. "A fire caused by fire pokemon."

"That explains some things... I guess I'm content with this for now." Flareon said and quietly shifted her key to Meowstic's key ring, "We'll still wait for out guest to verify his first answer." There was a glint from up on high and a shadowy figure jumped from platform to platform as it made it's way to the group. Absol became fully alert and watched as the figure jumped down.

Meowstic was expecting something like this, but didn't hint at it. She just waited patiently for the shadow to make its decent.

Umbreon landed in front of Meowstic and grabbed her face without warning, giving her a kiss on each cheek, "Oh, I'm so glad you got away from Vaporeon. I was worried for you." Absol looked extremely confused and wanted to inquire, but Magmar held him back.

Meowstic turned completely red. She closed her eyes and her ears popped open and threw everyone away from her with a powerful blast of psychic air out of embarrassment. "No, what will Espeon say." She squeaked.

Flareon had to use her claws to steady herself while Umbreon just rode the blast back and said weeeeeeee! She was laughing when she stopped skidding and Flareon just looked at her, "Was that really necessary." "I need to help Meowstic realize her secret feelings for Absol. She'll come to see the love eventually." "What?" Absol said completely confused.

"He's my brother! Stop saying that!" Meowstic said glowing even redder.

OOC: My favorite color was pink growing up before I discovered black, and the red and blue that compliment black so well.
BIC: "Oh, profess your forbidden love." Umbreon said and Flareon walked over and popper her on the back of the head. "I didn't call you two here for this." Flareon said with the face of a teacher reprimanding their student. "You're no fun Flareon. All work on no play." "And you play too much. Where's Espeon?" "He's verifying Absol's story. We're asking the source herself. Only we know where to find her, but it shouldn't take long. Once he's back we'll know how much of the story is true." Umbreon looked to Meowstic, "Maybe we could play a little longer until he get's back?" She said batting her eyelashes and making a kissy face."

ooc: You must have had just a difficult childhood. I mean I understand pink, since I like the color too, but black? Also I think pink compliments black a lot better than red or blue. But this isn't about your favorite colors! You have to stick to those stereotypes. Meowstic's embarrassment disappeared and she opened her eyes in surprise. "He went to see Eevee? So, she's still alright? Can I ask something? Why did Eevee have all six keys with her?"

OOC: There's a blurry moment in my past. Can't remember much of it. It's like I'm suppressing it. Before that moment, I liked Pink. Was a lot nicer too. After that moment I liked black and delved into introspective and interpersonal behavior. My mom says I had suicidal tendencies during that time, though I don't remember then myself. Maybe I did suffer some trauma and just can't remember it.
BIC: "Of course she's alright, she's just not one of the guardians anymore." Umbreon said and thought to herself for a moment, "I suppose I can answer that, since it won't really divulge information about her. Back then, there was only Myself, Espeon, and Eevee. We traveled together and kept the key's constantly moving. We would have all the keys on one pokemon at a time while keeping the shady rumors that they were with the others. That way, noone would actually pinpoint the keys. It was a coincidence that Eevee had the keys when Absol was around. He was so persistent back then that I guess she tried to force him to give up. I suppose that didn't work."

Post by Broly Ultimatrix on Feb 7, 2015 9:58:32 GMT -5
OOC: lol
BIC: "We realized the folly of our plan. If one of us went down while holding all the keys, then we'd have failed our mission. From that point on we carried two keys each. As more and more joined our cause, we took on different roles, which is why Espeon and I are envoys and Eevee moved on with her life." Umbreon said, shifting closer to Meowstic. Flareon just watched, as this was new information to her as well.

"I see." Meowstic said. "And I suppose you still can't tell me why Eevee decided to move on? And that also means that Vaporeon is actually doing a good job, since it'll be even harder for the pieces to be together with him around. But if we loose to Vaporeon, will he take all the keys we have for himself?"

"Maybe. That's all I can say. Who knows the unwritten history of tomorrow." Umbreon said and shifted closer to Meowstic, "After all, I don't want to say something I ought not to. Her confidentiality is very important to us as it will be to Flareon and the rest of the guardians when Espeon and I "move on"." Shifts closer.

"I see. I think I'm starting to understand." Meowstic said and this time took a step away from Umbreon as she shifted closer. She also raised and eyebrow at her. "But, if you don't mind me saying so, your comment about the future comes off a bit insincere, for a group that seems to have already judged and sentenced Absol for what he may do."

Umbreon laughed, "So far he's doing exactly what we expected. He turns to violence before finding another solution, came back after the keys, in spite of his beating, and doesn't seem to learn from his past. These are just well founded observations. Remember, I watch you guys all the time." *shift shift* Flareon just watched on, rather amused at the display. By now the little pups had tuckered themselves out and were sleeping in the midst of all the activity.

"Then you must also have seen the times he's done good, the times he tried to be better." Meowstic said. *shift shift* "Hi!" Somehow Goodra had gotten behind them and grabbed Umbreon into a slimy hug. "Is this a friend of yours?" She asked Meowstic. "She totally looked like she likes hugs too!"

Umbreon didn't really move, "Wha?" She uttered before she felt the slime working it's way through her fur, "Oh, you're the new girl. I could have some fun with you. You're already all w*EHEM!!!! Came Flareon loud and clear, knowing where Umbreon was going with this. I'm glad to see you made it back Machamp. What happened to Houndoom?" She asked and Machamp laid him on the floor. He simply pointed to Goodra and Espeon, Espeon seemed to be having way too much fun.
