It's already freezin' cold.

[derailer]

Hmmm. Vicious isn't going to get sick from being freezing and wet, probably.

"All right. So try it. Or don't. I suppose my path is set now either way."

As for the Shadow, true to his title, he steps forward, fades into the air, and then reappears on the far shore just as easily.

[stirtheblood]

—Hey! That's cheatin'! Why're ya even walkin' this whole way if ya can just do that?!

[He yells. Then sighs, looking up.]

...Whaddaya wanna do, Litten?

[derailer]

Litten definitely doesn't like the look of the freezing cold river, digging his claws in deeper in apprehension.

The Shadow decides to just keep walking inland to find a good Pokemon to catch, since apparently he has to be the one to catch it anyway.

[stirtheblood]

Well, whatever. Let's go play with the small ones 'til he gets back.

[He's gonna go fight a Rufflet.]

[derailer]

Yeah! That sounds way more reasonable!! Litten calls out to attract the attention of a Rufflet—easily incited to aggression, the Rufflet flies over.

Litten may not have anything super-effective, and he's still hurt, but he's gained a couple levels by now. He can still manage a 2d6+2 for this roll.

[stirtheblood]

[He only gets a 9 on this one. It's a somewhat interesting fight! Much more fun than trying to swim across a river.]

[derailer]

Litten takes another point of damage from the aerial attacks, and the Rufflet flees to nurse his wounds and his singed feathers, unable to be recruited.

The Shadow appears beside you. "I have acquired a Gardevoir."

[stirtheblood]

Geh—what, already? What's that one...?

[Vicious looks around the Shadow like maybe he will see a Gardevoir hanging on his back like a backpack.]

[derailer]

He tosses a ball on the ground and an alpha Gardevoir comes out. She is 8'05" tall.

"Gardevoir has Psychic abilities."

[stirtheblood]

[That is 2'05" taller than Vicious. Maybe slightly less with the heels on his boots.]

Whoa! That's a big one! You beat 'er??

[derailer]

"Mmm. I suppose I'll go rescue the missing people, then." He starts heading in that direction, allowing Gardevoir to glide behind him.

[stirtheblood]

You s'pose? Ain't that the whole reason ya came out here?

[Vicious follows.]

[derailer]

"And I'm doing it, aren't I? Don't quibble with my attitude."

[stirtheblood]

I'll quibble with whatever I wanna quibble with. I don't get you.

[derailer]

"You don't get anything. You lost all your memories."

It's convenient to have a petty dig on hand to completely ignore the substance of the conversation.

[stirtheblood]

Sure, but I still got eyes and ears and a brain.

You're helpin' them out, and you're helpin' me out. You don't gotta do either of those things. You're doin' 'em 'cause ya wanna. And yet you're still actin' like that just happens to be how things are.

[derailer]

"I'm just a terrible actor. It's very hard for me to pretend to be normal. It would be kind of you not to point out that I'm failing."

[stirtheblood]

Huh. Why are ya even pretendin'...?

[derailer]

"Be quiet. We are here."

He ushers Gardevoir forward—for the record, she seems similarly confused—and she spreads her arms, beginning to telekinetically levitate the injured people out of the hole.

[stirtheblood]

Ain't like I know what's normal anyway...

[Vicious at least says that a bit under his breath. And is distracted by levitating people, because that's pretty cool.]

[derailer]

"It is not just for you," the Shadow says, similarly muttered.

The people are placed down on the ground. One of them is unconscious. Two are too injured to walk on their own, but two have light enough injuries to manage.

"Thank you... Thank you..."

[stirtheblood]

Hmm. You plannin' on gettin' 'em back to the town now?

[derailer]

"Yes," he says with a sigh. It is as if every step of this process is a chore.

One of the people with fewer injuries helps support one of the others who is having more difficulty. Gardevoir lifts the unconscious person in her arms. So Ingo's Shadow crouches down to help carry the person with broken legs on his back.

[stirtheblood]

...Well, I guess I'll tag along for that too. Would be pretty funny if y'all fell in another hole on the way back.
