(Pffft)
"I only came because there was a chance I might find something interesting while wondering ar- what. . . what the heck is wrong with him?" Tsar cut himself off, finnally taking note of the Slowpoke and how it was- well. . slow to react to the blow it had recieved. Fourtantly, he hadn't made a fool out of himself by sort of 'over-reacting'- it seemed as if Karak knew as much about Slowpokes as he did (And he didn't know much, other than that they were pink and lazy and rather stupid). Jumping back in alarm, the Piplup couldn't help but wonder if perhaps it hadn't been affected by the cubone's attack at all; or, perhaps this was something worse. Maybe this peculiar Slowpoke was invincable- maybe this slow, pink, fat and lazy Poke'mon might be plotting to take over the world actually, since he was invincable, right now the dope might of targeted him and Karak as it's next victims- perhaps it was an outlaw, a lunatic that had kidnapped other Poke'mon? (What a way to allow your imagination to run wild, Tsar. Now let's pretend your thoughts aren't stupid.)
The Piplup couldn't help but think his thoughts might have the possibility of being true when he launched an attack at Karak- a water ball to be precise.
Now, Tsar was not heroic. Nor was he going to dive in the way of that flying ball of water just to keep a blow from being struck- as weak as the piplup was, he imagined that if he did so, he would probably just faint right away. After all- this Slowpoke was a possible lunatic who might be planning to take over the world because he couldn't feel any pain. "Karak! I don't think he can feel any pain!" It had taken the water-type penguin Poke'mon to say this- infact, perhaps it was a bit too long, seeing that the fact was rather obvious, but of course- the exclamation wouldn't really help out the Cubone at the moment, wouldn't it? It didn't exactly prevent a water ball attack from hitting him, anyway.
Speaking of such a water-ball; it was about time it would hit Karak. A bit late actually, seeing that it had just now hit the ground-type Poke'mon.
This only set Tsar into a bit more of a panic-worry sort of thing, of course.
The Poke'mon began to look around for the nearest 'hiding spot'- wherever it might be. With outsiders and insiders about in this dungeon, it was kind of hard to find a place to cower behind- it was also apparantly a bit too crowded to worry about how hard that Water-ball had hit Karak, and what impact it had on him.
"Let's be off then!" Eve said in a somewhat triumphant manner- marching out of the door, rather annoyed that Maxi would so suddenly just barge out of his own shop after blabbering to his customer's about nonsense. In her opinion, the dragon-type barely had any manners, if any at all- not to mention little to nothing interesting to say. Who cared what this little symbol meant? It was just something she read about, nothing important, and now it was on a scarf of her own {Although she hated to admit this- the scarf, although ridiculously long as she had requested, was just to her liking.}
Quickly wrapping the long piece of fabric around her neck, she opened the door outside of the shop for the others- herding the lot out of the shop in a somewhat hurried manner. She'd perfer it that Maxi would not return and keep them waiting a bit longer- surely Jade was growing rather impatient at the moment. Eve had told the absol that she would be returning shortly, and the riolu really had no idea what Metis was doing out here at the time being either- none the less, with Dinner almost upon the group, it would be best if they were to return quickly rather than continue to dwindle about.
The 'trio' (if you could even bother calling it that) went along the typical path towards the guild- walking past the typical wide variety of buildings, some in which were missing their owners, who seemed to have either retired earlier than others, or had simply abandoned them to do some other 'foolish' activity. It did not take them long to come across the same sign in which they had found Totaro behind- the one that welcomed Tourists who were foolish enough to come here instead of somewhere far more interesting. They would arrive at their destination any time now- really, all's there was to do now was to take the quick path through the forest and poof- they would be right where they needed to be, and Eve would be able to go ahead and blabber about Totaro to Jade and throwing reasons why the Totodile should be permitted to stay at the guild, even if he was not interested in becoming an explorer.
