 Some people would wonder how he was working through the gym fight 'mute'. Or at least without opening his mouth.

He'd managed however.

A snap entered the air in the final moments of battle- on the side, Golett held the camera, having switched out after bringing a handy defeat to Chili's Darumaka. Now, however, it was Audino's turn, and singed as he was the pokemon grinned.

"Hehehehhe... ALRIGHT!" the Audino roared. "LETS GOOOOOO!!!"

Another snap- and a point forward and the signal was given- 

"POUUUUUND!"

On solid thump later and Pansear was flying across the room, and after a quick check over to make sure the blow hadn't done anything too serious the prize was given.

"You did great!" Chili congratulated, grinning wildly. "Didn't know what to think when I was told my opponent was mute, but I'm impressed! You deserve this badge!!" he continued, laughing as Otogi picked up the badge in question. "And from what the news was going on about, it looks like you'll be able to warp to here or to Accumula from the Entralink if you want now!"

The trainer nodded, and Chili continued.

"Hey- good luck with the rest pal!"

Another nod- Thanks! written clearly on the chalkboard- and the three in his 'team' walk out.

"Whooo~ Piece of cake! Lets get going to the next one..!!!"

"...Take it slow..."

"I'm fine! I'm fine- ASGHHHHH-"

"...You're burnt..."


And once they're out of earshot, Otogi joins in the conversation. "Aha... Lets get to a pokemon center okay..?"

"Grnnnn..."

He hears someone speaking to him...

Who...

'I am Gardevoir.'

He sees the figure stand before him- he reaches out with a blackened paw. Why... Why do I see you...

'Because it is my duty. You came to perform a certain task... And for that task, you have become a pokemon...'

Who...

'I cannot say.'

...Who...

I cannot say.

He's thrown back by streams of sparks and a petilil at the side screams his name- 'OTOGI!'

'Fools... It was clearly his doing! His winds have torn the very clouds in two! You were fools to follow me to this place!' That wasn't the truth... The clouds weren't the only ones...

Have you heard the legend... The sparks burn his fur and again the petilil cries. The legend of the Ninetales..?

They say those who grab his tails are cursed... Cursed for 1000 years... But when one foolish human left his partner to take his place in that curse, a prophecy was made...
The sparks burn but they push the bird back, and in the end the rescue of 'Shiftry' is celebrated.

And he said...

That one day that human would become a pokemon.

That when human became pokemon, the world's balance would become shattered.

That when the balance became shattered, the end would be soon to follow...


'Why are you saying this,' he can hear someone cry, crowds of pokemon surrounding them in the square. 'Why are you saying this..!?'

'Sorry Otogi...!'

They are chased. Chased through fire, chased through snow- they are hounded, chased, left without rest. Moltres, Articuno, both block their way but briefly and force promises upon them lest their lives be forfeit. They are chased further, and further... But why..?

'Because it is your duty.' What?

'Because it is your duty.' Who said that... It wasn't-

A figure of orange and beige, with wide eyes filled with fire stands before him, and he screams, shouting curses as he fights his bonds. 'Foolish human, we have spared your life despite your intrusion upon this meeting most dire. Be glad that you serve for us a purpose- we will take away all memory of your life. We will take away all that identifies you save one thing- And for your sake, we will trust you to follow the path that destiny grants you- for it is a path... A what... 'A path... What was he saying..?

"NNNGGAAAAAHHH!" The trio of pokemon that cornered his partner and himself at the mountain where Ninetales resides slam him against the wall and he yelps as he struggles to stand.

'It is a task that cannot be completed as human, or as pokemon- only as both.'

[[In which mystery dungeon rules come hilariously into play. Also! While meant for Naoto, thread is OPEN!]]

As promised, Otogi has been staying put on Route 2 since speaking with Naoto. Also as he said, he's been searching around for the odd scent he picked up on earlier- it didn't smell like most of the pokemon in the area, and in fact, smelled about as common as...

Well, a charmander in a pond to say the least.

Not common at all.

Those coming by on the route, or even watching through the transceiver that Golett has taken to carrying however, will be met with an interesting, rare, and overall bizarre sight- an Audino, with a scowl of all things, charging not the one with the x-transceiver...

But Otogi himself. "HHHHAAAAAHHH!" Otogi in response, appears to be responding in the attack despite obvious disadvantages- his tail is bristling, and as best he can he seems to be attempting to kick the pokemon.

"Alright you..! You've followed me long enough!"

"No reason to attack on sight then..!!"

"It's plenty reason!"

"No it's not..!"


The fight seems to carry on in a strange pattern of Otogi landing one hit, dodging another, the Audino slamming him back and landing a few hits before Otogi rolls out...

Wash. Repeat.

Over all, it's not something that will be easy to interrupt and watching it all Golett sighs.

 People near Route 1 will find a rather odd looking young man wandering around if they keep their eyes peeled- the irony of the matter in fact is that the pokemon with him is more visible than he is.

There's a Golett in the middle of the route with the camera aimed directly in away from him see, and it's currently staring at the bushes off to the side surrounded by grass. Typically, the average person would be about chest deep in such grass...

Golett's trainer however has currently stooped to a level that renders him more or less invisible.

'. . .Your tail. . .'

...Except that.

That tail looks like a zorua tail actually! Anyone care to investigate it?
