The Wicked Witch's Will

"Rave-kun, maybe you should put your Mightyena back in her Pokeball." the teen suggested quietly after seeing the look of horror on the boy's face. Then what? she thought a bit uneasily, giving a little sigh. "Aria, quick.. grab that Potion and come immediatly back." the ravenette mumbled.It was risky, considering that there was the possibility of the Teddiursa attacking them too, but Runa probably wouldn't let that happen, would she?

The girl swallowed nervously ; the thought of already hurting Aria made her a bit upset. As the two Pokemon continued to bicker, her Dual type Pokemon sneakily flew to where the Potion laid, picked it up, and began to fly back to her owner as fast as possible. It was indeed Rave's, Skye had decided, but it was obviously her job to get it back - Rave was far too frightened to do so.

The teddiursa threw a furious tantrum a bit before suddenly letting itself fall onto it's bum and begin to bawl like a baby. It was using Fake Tears to try and lure the people closer and attack. The teddiursa cried and cried pitifully and cutely, wanting the item it claimed to have found first to be returned.

Rave decided NOT to return Runa, "Runa...." he called. Runa turned to look at him and gave a whine before turning back to the teddiursa and giving a vicious snarl and snap. She huffed and returned to her trainer's side, still holding a grudge against the teddiursa. The amnesiac boy stared, unsure of what to do about the crying bear. Will Skye fall for it's cute act? he wondered.

The teenager was delighted to see that Aria returned safely with the Potion. "Good job." the girl hugged her Pokemon and was about to hand the Potion to Rave, but that was when the sobbing started. The teen froze, a part of her already feeling bad. "Oh no, oh gosh, no, don't cry.." she frowned, but to no avail. The teenager was about to crawl closer and probably only hug the Teddiursa, but was stopped and held back by Aria.

The Emolga gave a huff and shook her head rapidly, pulling her trainer backwards. "But.." the teen looked back at the crying Pokemon. Aria hit her head and gave a cry followed by another huff. Skye rubbed the back of her head ( "Ow.." ) and tilted it a bit before she understood.

"Oh, I see. Thanks, Aria.." she chuckled, laughing at herself for almost believing the orange bear."Good try, though. You almost had me, hehe." she spoke to the little bear, giving a smile. It was a good thing Aria had stopped her - it was likely the group could use an extra Potion in the future.

(xDD)
The teddiursa stopped bawling and growled at the pokemon and trainers. That was when Runa decided that she had had enough of this bear's business. She darted forward snarling and snapping viciously, causing the bear to scream in terror and flee into the darkness, deciding an item it couldn't even use wasn't worth being torn apart by a mightyena.

Runa huffed and returned to Rave, she licked her muzzle and looked at the staring Axew and Rufflet, What? she asked them. They simply shook their heads as if to say nothing.

"W-well...That was...an event..."Rave spoke. His face had bleeding scratches, but they weren't too deep but he figured that he would live. He brought out two pokeballs and had the rufflet and mightyena return, keeping out only the Axew. He wanted at least one pokemon out with him, and one that didn't seem too vicious. Axew hugged his leg as he waited for a word from Skye.

The trainer sat there for a moment, registering what just happened. "I'm glad it's over though." she sighed and turned to the boy, only now realizing that he was bleeding. "R-Rave-kun, are you alright? Doesn't it hurt?" she cried, crawling forwards to the boy quickly. Aria flew over to the Axew and chirped a hello, looking excited to see a non-hostile Pokemon for once. Skye fished through her bag, but there was nothing of importance or anything that could stop the bleeding.

"I don't have anything to help, sorry.." she trailed off, feeling a bit useless. Skye gave another sigh. "I think it's best we stay together." she spoke again, a small smile on her face. Why were the Pokemon here so angry about everything? Where were they, anyway? She tried to stare ahead, but she could see nothing but the illuminating green mushrooms. "Let's try to keep going. Maybe there's an exit somewhere." she said softly, feeling the need to keep her voice low.

She thought she heard something in the distance, but perhaps it was just her imagination playing tricks on her.

(YAY You got a pokeball xD)
Rave nodded, "Um...sorry I'm so useless..." he apologized. He looked to the ground, he didn't hear the voice. He looked up, his blue eyes piercing the darkness a bit as he searched for a way to continue, "So, how are we going to get out of here? I-I don't even know how I got here. He rubbed his arm a bit, doing his best to ignore the scratches and not touch them. His hands were filthy so if he touched it, then the wounds would most likely become infected.

He heard a clinking sound in the distance, "What's that?" he mumbled. He resisted the urge to walk after it, what if it had been a trap? Was this cave even filled with traps? Was it natural? Questions raced through his mind one after another and it all eventually led to, Who am I? Sure he knew his name, but WHO was he? He grew a bit down with the thought of now knowing himself. He didn't realize that he was letting his face show a troubled look.

A series of weak telepathic flew through the darkness slightly illuminating the caves along with the sound of faint yelling. Suddenly the Teddiusra, seemingly forgotten the Mightyena's possible death threat burst into where the group was, screaming it's head off while holding something in it's hand. From the darkness which it appeared from, two hazy figures appeared, one which was considerably taller than the other, and the smaller one seemed to be beaming the waves from it. "Hey don't you know you shouldn't steal?" How perfectly ironic the figure which then solidified into a boy yelled at the Teddiusra. The Pokemon jumped and started running when it fell right into the Mightyena's teeth area, quickly the Teddiusra fell down and started bawling. The smaller figure which turned into a Ralts, stopped attacking and looked pityingly at the Pokemon.

[ gee thanks, kat xD ]

She had spotted a red-and-white Pokeball and was putting it her Bag when she heard faint yelling, and the teen looked up. Mesmerizing turquoise eyes widened as she spotted the same Teddiursa charging for them and start bawling all over again, and then a boy and a Ralts appeared. The orange little bear seemed to be clutching something tightly while it was grossly sobbing. Instinctively Skye crawled over and picked the little orange bear up gently despite the risk of getting scratched in the face.

She petted the Pokemon's head gently while saying, "Shh, it's okay, calm down.." Aria looked at her disbelief before flying towards the newcomer's Ralts. The Axew had not said anything, so maybe this Psychic type was more fun. She chirped another hello and waved as Skye looked up. "W-Who're you?" she called, voice laced with a touch of nervousness as she rocked the Teddiursa softly. Maybe they weren't dangerous?

Rave flinched away from the teddiursa, still a bit terrified of it. He looked at the newcomer who seemed to be the owner of a ralts. He gazed back up at the boy as the girl questioned him. His Axew was still hiding behind his leg a bit, not liking the aura of the new comer.
"So I guess it tried to steal again? That was fast..." he mumbled, he made sure to keep a distance from the girl who held the teddiursa. He wondered if he would be afraid of the thing for the rest of his life. He began to yell at himself mentally, why should I be afraid? But that thing was dangerous. So? It could hurt me. So fight back! But I don't wanna hurt it...

"So is the Teddiursa yours?" Riley asked calmly, "If so, can you please tell him or her to give me the first aid kit back?" Suddenly his facial expression brightened and the male trainer grinned, "I'm Riley, and this is Avery." He said cheerfully, seemingly forgotten the whole theft ordeal. Avery looked up at the Emolga revealing his red eyes and grinned in a matter similar to his trainer, "Ral! Raalllts?" Hello! What's your name? The Pokemon asked, before devising a plan as well. The Teddiursa slowly stopped crying and looked up at Skye, a questioning look on it's face. "Teddiursa?"

The teenager chuckled. "Mine? Nope, it isn't mine, hehe." she smiled. She could sense the mischievous but pure hearted aura he radiated and that meant he wasn't dangerous.. hopefully, at least. "I'm Skye, and that Emolga is mine - her name is Aria." Aria gave a cheer and some sparks as she heard her name.

Aria was delighted to even get a response. "Emolga, emoo emooo!~" I'm Aria, nice to meetcha! she grinned, taking a liking to the Ralts already. Her owner looked down as the orange little bear stopped crying. "Do you feel better?" the girl said softly, and the Pokemon nodded before hopping out of her lap and grinning devilishly at Riley.

Rave stayed where he was, unsure of what to do. He jumped when his pokeball suddenly opened and Runa appeared. She looked at the teddiursa and gave a snort, not caring about the bear anymore. She looked to the ralts and huffed a greetings.
"You're awfully boring!"A voice whispered in his ear"Let's make you more interesting!" Rave suddenly felt frozen, as if he couldn't move. He tried to make a sound to warn the others but was absolutely paralyzed. Then a sudden burst of pain erupted in his head, he couldn't do anything about it which only made it more painful. The pain grew and grew until he blacked out, his body falling like a limp rag doll. The mightyena collapsed as well.

Riley's grin disappeared and he glared at the bear, before his eyes flashed purple. The Teddiusra soon felt a feeling like he was being picked up by the scruff of his neck, and flew into the air before being held here. His smile reappeared, "Well, now that's your first lesson, little bear. Now if you don't mind, could you please return the items you took?" He asked evenly, even as his signature grin was still on his face, his eyes never left the Pokemon's face. Avery looked up at the Emolga, "Alts, Ra!" What do you think about your trainer? Do you have a partner as well? The Ralts asked easily feigning curiously at the Pokemon. However both the trainer and his partner looked towards Rave as he collapsed, "What happened?" Riley asked, loosing concentration and dropping the Teddiusra. "...is there a third person or another Pokemon in the room?" he asked seriously, almost like a detective.

The girl gasped and watched helplessly as the little Teddiursa was lifted into the air. "R-Riley-kun! Put it down, you'll hurt it!" she cried, and thankfully he let go and Skye caught the orange little bear. Squeezing lightly, she set the Teddiursa down but nearly jumped a foot as she heard thumps.

She whipped around and saw Rave had fallen to the ground with Runa. "Rave-kun!" the girl hurried over and turned him over so that he wasn't facing the ground. She shook the boy lightly. "H-Hey, are you alright? Answer me!" When no response was given, the teenager looked worriedly at Riley. "Riley-kun, what should we do?" asked the ravenette worriedly.

Aria had started to answer but jumped as well, and in a few moments had joined the Teddiursa and her owner's side. "Emo?" she tilted her head, but it was only a call of confusion. Without any warning, the little Dual type seated herself on Rave and gave a light, weak ThunderShock - just enough to wake him up if need be. As Aria was doing that, Skye was still looking worriedly at Riley. "What happened? What should we do?"

The black hair boy jolted awake from the thunder shock. "ARGH! WHAT THE HELL!?" the boy cried, "What's wrong with you? Ruining a woman's beauty sleep, I-What the hell?" the "Boy" looked at his fingers with curiosity. "He" turned his hand to see the front and back, "The hell is with my paws???" "He" stood on all fours and sat down like a dog, "I feel funny...What are you all looking at?" "He" yelled at the Axew.
The mightyena whined as it picked itself up. It's head was spinning as it sat down on it's hind legs. It looked around and noticed it was seeing in the darkness a lot better, it tried to speak "Might?" Wh-What?

Riley scratched his head, "I don't k-" The boy looked bemusedly at Aria's thundershock but nearly jumped as the boy started screaming and well just not acting like himself. Trying to keep his face straight and not laugh as he heard the 'boy' call himself a woman, quickly he took into account the fact that A) Rave called himself a Woman and B) Both Rave and the Mighteyna was knocked out at the same time and finally C) The Mighteyna was acting awfully sedated. "I don't know about what we should do...PICKPOCKET THEM But I think that they exchanged minds, accourding to the evidence." He said after putting on some glasses. "But I highly doubt there are Manaphy here, they are possibly the only one who has the ability to switch. So it might be that they only think that they were the other?" He offered.

The teenager looked back at the boy ( that is we shall call the human for now ) who had seated himself like a Lillipup. Tilting her head, she spoke confusedly : "Rave-kun, is that you?" If Riley was right then Runa would say 'no' and they could start to figure things out. The Teddiursa only huffed and sat beside Aria, who was the only one besides her owner that tolerated the orange bear.

Aria had frantically flown backwards at the sudden yells and was trying to regain composure. "Emo?" she looked at the Mightyena who seemed just as confused. "Emolga Emo Emol Emo?" Who're you supposed to be? she cocked her head, staring at the wolf like Pokemon curiously.

"Rave? Where's Rave?" The boy whined. The boy was Runa! Runa laid eyes on her body and said, "That's a beautiful lookin Mightyena right there!" she laughed. She paid no attention to the humans, thinking that they couldn't understand her, "Geez that Skye girl must be really gullible to fall for that teddiursa's tricks am I right Emola, you never told me your name?"

The mightyena stared at the emolga, had it just talked? The mightyena was Rave! He shook his head in attempt to rid the fogginess and looked at the humans who were suddenly taller than him. "Mightyena?" Did I shrink?

There was a cackling that echoed through the caves, "Fun~ So Much Fun! Go my pretties! Attack them!"

Riley looked at the boy who was really Runa, "I guess that proves it." He shrugged, before grinning. "See someone agrees with me!" He mumbled, before looking around the cave for any possible Pokemon or People who could do this, while Avery patted the Mightyena who was Rave. "Ral, Ralts Ra?" Hello little Mightyena, by any chance are you Rave? He asked cheerfully before getting ready to run as fast as he could out of there in case that was Runa, or an angry Pokemon. Riley snapped out of his search when he heard the cackling and the footsteps of Pokemon that appeared. Quietly he called Avery over, and whispered for him to do a few things. The Ralts nodded, before slowly creating a small Confusion in front of himself, and it slowly grew bigger, and he shot it into the direction of the laughing.

Skye flinched ; she certainly wasn't expecting that, not from Runa, Riley, or that voice. Was she really that dislikeable? She watched as a pair of Deerling and a Rattata charged towards them out of nowhere. In the corner of her eyes she spotted something blue - an Oran Berry! Crawling towards it frantically, she barely dodged a enraged Deerling from hitting her. She stuffed the azure berry into her bag carefully before grabbing her Emolga and the Teddiursa frantically, in an attempt to make sure they weren't gonna get hurt.

The same thought rang through her head - perhaps she should catch the orange little bear. But now was not the time for that, Arceus no. Aria, still a bit stunned as she was about to reply to Runa, sparked her cheeks a bit albeit being only level 5. "Aria, ThunderShock on that Rattata!" the girl whispered, and her Pokemon nodded. The purple rat whipped around and charged towards them, while Aria attempted to land the hit successfully.

Rave was kicked in the ribs by a deerling, he reacted with mightyena instincts and snarled. He whipped around and grabbed the deerling's hip and flung it into the wall. He realized what he had done and flattened his ears. He could have killed it! He was backed into a corner by a deerling, who shook it's head threateningly and violently. Rave swallowed, he didn't know how to use any pokemon attacks. "MIGH!" HELP! he yelped as the deerling moved in for a tackle attack.
Axew was the closest to Rave, she gave a bellow and her tusks began to glow as she rushed into the Deerling's side with a dual chop. She gave a huff and stuck her tounge out at the deerling while standing in front Rave.
Runa, meanwhile, had sniffed about as if she could smell something and ran off(like a dog) deeper into the caves, abandoning the group.
"Hoo Hoo~ You really think i'm in the same area as youoo~?" The voice called more loudly.

Avery quickly used it's second command, and growled cutely, attempting to lower the three Pokemon's attack, before firing rapidly a bunch of Confusions trying to hit the third Deerling. The said Deerling dodged and quickly used Leech Seed to try and gain back health he would definitely lose over time, right into Avery's face. The deer Pokemon had a smug smile on his face, and waited to see the green little sprouts that would grow on the Ralts. Seconds passed.

At this point, the Deerling knew something was wrong.

Avery grinned deviously at the deer, and fired off more Confusions, smacking the Pokemon in the face with each wave over and over again. By the time that he stopped hitting the poor Deerling, it stumbled confusedly. For some weird reason the troublesome Ralts was everywhere, surrounding him. The Deerling used Sand-Attack, getting lucky and hitting the Ralts in the face. He screeched, and tried to rub the grit out of his eyes, but not before running into the Deerling causing the Pokemon to snap out of confusion. Angry for what the blinded Ralts did to it's pride, the Deerling loomed over Avery.

Riley noticed that the Mightyena-Boy ran off into the caves, and he wondered if Runa would find the witch. Thinking he wasn't needed, quietly he boy slipped off after "Rave" and followed him through the caves.

The teenager sat there helplessly, confusedly. She wasn't sure what was happening or what she was supposed to do. Help. she thought, but how? Was she supposed to go after Riley or stay with the Mightyena? Fight off the Deerling, maybe? The Rattata had taken a critical hit and fainted quickly, but Skye showed no interest in catching it. Maybe a Deerling or the Teddiursa, but not the Rattata, nope. At that moment Skye's Pokemon caught sight of Avery's situation and swooped over in the nick of time, latching onto the Deerling and unleashing another ThunderShock. Whether it hit or not, it didn't matter, for the Dual type immediately flew over to Avery, picked him up, and carried him back to the safety of her owner.

She set the Ralts down gently while saying : "Emo Emolga emo." Thank me later. "Are you alright?" the ravenette finally spoke, but it was aimed to everyone. She could deal with Pokemon injuries, oh yes. She was sure she had that Potion in her bag somewhere, or perhaps the Oran Berry would do just fine. Hopefully Riley was okay ; she could not afford to get anyone hurt now. They had barely entered. Skye managed to smile as the orange bear scuttled backwards and dove into her lap again, fearful of getting beaten up.

"Migh..." I'm ok... Rave whimpered. He stayed close to his Axew, who was now standing protectively in front of Rave even though the pokemon were KO'd. He looked to Skye, he couldn't speak human, how was he supposed to communicate? He also found that Runa had taken off with his body. He sniffed around, trying to catch his own scent, and followed the trail a bit. He looked back to Skye and barked once and turned in a circle, trying to get her to follow.

Runa didn't care for the man following behind her, she couldn't smell a thing with the human nose, so she was wandering around aimlessly. She had been running along when her hands landed in a circular rope at the bottom. She tried to continue forward, not noticing the rope, only to be dragged violently back and began to hand from the ceiling with her hands. "WHATS THE BIG IDEA!?" she yelled furiously.

Avery finally got rid of the sand in his eyes to find himself picked up by the Emolga, who then pulled him into saftey with her trainer. "Raa? Ralts." Huh? Um Thanks. He said realizing that the fact that Aria saved him was for the best. Avery nodded to the female's question, and hoped that the others were rather okay, speaking about the others.... "Rall? Raaaaa." Where is he? The Ralts asked worriedly, looking around for his partner. Maybe the Mightyena knew where he was, since he obviously knew where something was. Quietly the Feeling Pokemon tugged on Skye's pant leg, and pointed towards the Mightyena I can always pickpocket them later

Riley followed Runa soundlessly, until he noticed that she put her hands into a rope (Most likely intended to catch someone's ankle not their hands) and didn't seem to notice. Riley saw her move forward a bit, but then got yanked back and hung suspended in the air. Trying hard not to laugh at the cluelessness of the Pokemon turned human, he pointed to a rope, before his eyes turned purple again, and the rople unknotted itself. "I guess you never heard about a trap." He said bemusedly, "In all seriousness though, it would appear that someone doesn't want us to go this way."
