Originally, Nip had hung back in the square, debating whether to head to the dojo or to find somewhere quieter to sleep. But hunger and sleepiness, combined with the promise of warm shelter and food, drove him to make his way towards the dojo. He passed through the entrance, wandering around...

"So, they have food for us? That's great, I've been hungry." To punctuate his words, Nip's stomach let out a rumble. Then he paused. "Wait, don't tell me. I know how you village mon work. It's all berries. If I want something I need to come up with some 'money' and find an open 'shop' that sells...

Nip squinted. "Do you... not use the sun and stars to guide you in the right direction? They're much more reliable than memory."

He gave the Charmander a scrutinizing look. Should he believe her? Her claim did make sense. And yet... he still didn't quite trust her. "Seems fairly easy to get around," he pointed out, his tone a bit curt. "As far as I could tell on my way up here, most places are right off the straight path."

Spent 3+ hours writing and editing ~2000 words. Claiming tiers 1-5 of wave 2. Additionally did a review for Path of Valor, so I'll also be claiming tiers 1-2 of wave three and a BLEC. Finally, some level up housekeeping: +5 to hp +13 to stamina +7 to attack +2 to defense +1 to resistance and...

Nip watched silently as Surf scurried off. He had no clue if they'd even be sticking around after dealing with the magikarp long enough to help out. But that was a problem for future Nip to deal with. His attention shifted to Mellow, who had yet to leave unlike the others. Doubts and a burning...

A worldwide illness? The pokemon in his tribe were no strangers to sickness. But the illnesses he had dealt with were not particularly deadly, except perhaps to the young or to the elderly. And they rarely spread from mon to mon. But something world-wide? He shuddered at the mere thought. He...

He came up top and there was the charmander, waiting for him at the top. Did she plan this somehow? Was she watching and waiting for him to get killed in some "freak accident?" No, no. He was thinking irrationally. Probably. "Just fine. If you count almost getting blasted in a torrent of...

Nip raised his paws in front of him defensively. "Alright, alright I'm leaving." With that, he turned and scurried up the steps, re-emerging on the cliff. Being out in the open like this wasn't ideal, per say, but it certainly wasn't as bad as being cornered inside.

Nip let out a yip, stumbling backwards and away from the forceful blow of water. It would have been a nasty attack to contend with in his regular body, but he was quite certain it would have knocked him out in a single blow now. His eyes wide and his fur puffed up, he stood frozen, staring at...

"It's not like I'm going to take anything from here," Nip said while inspecting some of the personal belongings being left behind. Not that he wasn't tempted to try and nab any valuable healing items that had been left behind. But he didn't feel like pushing his luck, considering how weak he...

Silently, Nip turned his attention away from Mellow. But as much as he tried to stop himself, he couldn't help but glance over his shoulder over and over again, looking to see if the charmander was still there. It was no use; he'd never get any practice done like this. Suppressing a sigh, he...

Nip nearly jumped out of his fur when he heard the sound of a cough, followed by a voice behind him. He whirled around, not knowing what to expect and. Oh. A charmander. Not Owen, but one of the other two that had shown up after him. The wind up here must have carried her scent away from him...

After his conversation with Necrozma, Nip had briefly returned to the square, pausing there to decide which of his goals he wanted to pursue first. He remembered Diyem mentioning a Dojo. While he did not recognize that word, he gathered from earlier, overheard conversation that it was a place...

Wrote about 2100 words, claiming tiers 1-5 for wave 1

He didn't have a name? Or a propper one, at least. How odd. Still, at least he had something to refer to him by. Not quite catching the implications of Necrozma's statement, he said, "I see. I will see you later, then, when we confront the magikarp. Until then, take care, Necrozma." Once again...

...Huh. He had a very good point that Nip hadn't even thought of. "I would like to think that it wouldn't matter against a magikarp. But, well, you saw the image that was shared with us. That was a nasty hydro pump." He stood up, shaking for a second to clear away any dirt in his fur. "I...

"You mean, you think the other charmander are in on it? I'm... not sure I follow that but..." But the doubt was still there in his mind now. He paused, shuddering at the thought of being squashed underneath the giant 'karp, his life snuffed out effortlessly. "As much as I am hesitant to trust...

So he wasn't alone in finding that odd. That was a relief, at least. Nip took a seat across from Necrozma. "I do not know of this... World Ender you speak of. You must forgive me, there are many myths that have been lost to time in my tribe. That said..." He took a deep breath. Something about...

Nip glanced upward, watching the leaves be swept away by psychic energy. Huh, he never would have thought this stranger was a psychic-type. Steel or rock, maybe. Perhaps he was both? He would have to remember this for later. So, he came from beyond the sky? Nip had heard of pokemon like that...
