The keys seemed to point in the direction they were headed, up the river. They reached a section where the small one they were following joined with a larger river and they continues up stream. The keys were clearly pointing towards the rivers heart where they were headed. Vaporeon leaned in a bit to Goodra as they walked, "Why is she so tense all the time?" She asked, looking up to Meowstic before turning to face Goodra.

"She usually isn't." Goodra said a little concerned. "She's usually the more level headed of our group. Even though she's young she seems to help us all get along. I'm not sure why she's been like this lately." Meowstic walked closer to Absol and nudged him.

"I think I know why." Umbreon said, uncharacteristically hushed about it though still loud enough for at least Goodra to hear.
"Hmm?" Absol sounded absently, maintaining his speed and trajectory.

"Why?" Goodra asked Umbreon in the same hushed tone.
Meowstic lifted up the keys towards the direction she felt the other one to let Absol know and looked at him a little worried.

"I was nearly drowned by the next guardian and it's another Vaporeon. Meowstic was a witness to that and she's probably just really scared." Umbreon explained quickly and quietly.
"At least we're being efficient." Absol said, not caring nearly as much as Meowstic. He knew of her concerns, but they weren't his and he was simply glad they weren't going too far out of the way. Still, he knew she was concerned and wanted to ease that, "Shall we walk a pace away from the river as we head to the heart? At least then we wont have to worry till we're there."

Goodra almost gasped. "That's terrible. No wonder Meowstic is acting like she is around Vaporeon."
Meowstic nodded that she'd like that.

"Yeah, you couldn't have done that though. The Vaporeon that got me had a deeper voice, even for a male." Umbreon said and leaned forward to look at Vaporeon who didn't hear anything except Goodra's last comment and Umbreon just now.
Absol veered off course a bit to lead to the way across the expanse further in the forest.

Goodra loked down at Vaporeon. She smiled at her to put her at ease, but wasn't sure what to think of the pokemon herself. Weavile was getting closer to the group as they went.

Continuing on in quiet, the group trailed through the forest and Espeon seemed to be on high alert. Even the lighthearted Umbreon was on edge as they got closer to the heart of the River. Looming overhead was the Glacial mountain that fed the river and a long waterfall fell down it's face pointing to their fast approaching destination. Absol had walked continuously without halting, not caring for those in tow and knowing Meowstic could hitch a ride if she started getting tired.

"That's quite beautiful." Goodra said looking at the waterfall. "Is that where you live Vaporeon?" Weavile was almost right behind Umbreon now.

"Yeah, though there's been trouble recently. A shadowy force has started attacking to people. I was looking for it when I was knocked out. I need to help out while I'm here." Vaporeon said. "Maybe it's the guardian." Umbreon said, looking back at Weavile who was getting a little too close for comfort.

"Well if he's attacking other pokemon then I'll need to look into it." Goodra said. "It's what I do after all." Weavile grinned back at Umbreon, edging a little closer.

"Whomever it is, they're elusive and seem to always attack from the shadows. Cowards way of doing battle the way I see it." Vaporeon said and looked to the river they'd stopped walking close to. "Could be worse. He could be attacking form the open and making his presence known even more." Umbreon said loud enough for Weavile to hear without actually yelling. Espeon looked back ot check on them and glared a bit at Weavile before turning back to where he was walking.

"From the shadows or the open he must be stopped." Goodra said. Weavile quickly reached into her coat in a threatening manner before pulling out a berry. She grinned at Umbreom and walked a little closer. Any closer and she'd almost be next to her.

Umbreon smiled to Weavile her innocent smile, though it seemed borderline sarcastic at this point given the past. "Not poison is it?" She asked sweetly enough.

"I didn't know you cared." Weavile said taking a bite from the berry. She walked up next to Umbreon now, side by side.

"Take it from one who's been poisoned, it's not a fun experience." Umbreon said, not taking her eyes off Weavile since she was not closer to Espeon.

"But you got so much attention from it." Weavile said. "Wasn't that more important to you?"

"It proved a point at the very least, though I'd be hesitant to go through it again." Umbreon said with a grin and looked up to Espeon, taking her gaze off Weavile for the moment.

As soon as Umbreon looked away Weavile crushed the berry in her claw and quickly placed it on Umbreon's flank, leaving a perfect berry stained imprint of her claw on Umbreon's rear.

Umbreon's eye twitched as she resisted the immediate urge to attack. She looked back to the imprint with the same child like grin, "Aww, finger painting? Are you claiming ownership over me? 'Cause I'll have you know I'm high maintenance." she said still cheerfully.

"Oops, I must have slipped." Weavile said innocently as she cleaned her claw. "But if it's that easy to catch you, maybe I could trade you back to Espeon, for a price." She grinned.

"I think it would cost you something to sell me back. After all, I've already been branded. I'm practically damaged goods." Umbreon said dramatically, faking a sob.

"Oh, I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit." Weavile said with an unsettling smile. "I bet Espeon would just kill to have you back."

Post by Broly Ultimatrix on May 9, 2016 18:27:50 GMT -5
"Oh no, we don't kill anymore. Just horribly maim and maybe take a trophy. They can learn from their mistakes from that." She said jokingly and with the same smile.

"They say old habits die hard." Weavile said. "How do you think Espeon will react when he gets mad every time he looks at you, because you remind him of me." She pointed to her paw mark. "A pokemon in love can be quite unpredictable, don't you think?"

"Oh, I would know. Pokemon can do silly things when they're in love." Umbreon said, almost happily sporting her new berry mark.

"So Espeon isn't going to mind my claw mark on you?" Weavile asked. "You're saying I should try harder? Maybe I should put one on him." She smiled.

"He probably won't let you touch him, and I would mind if you did." Umbreon said as her smile changed into a playful pouty face.

"You think he wont?" Weavile asked. "Shall we see if the same trick works on him?" She took out another berry. "Don't tell him now, or it wont work." She walked to get past Umbreon.
