"What do you mean, impulses? I'm--I'm totally normal!" Mm. No comment. Owen's flame grew in size and he seized his blanket tighter. "B-blasphemous? Well, er, you... uh..." Owen realized that he wasn't good at insults. "...You probably need some rest!"

"He-hey! I'm not a kid!" Owen said, pointing at Necrozma. "I may not know how old I am, but I definitely feel like I should be offended at you calling me a kid!" It's true, he isn't a child. Diyem said. Owen puffed out his chest proudly. Despite the evidence suggesting otherwise. His flame...

"Well, I--" Owen fidgeted, finally finding the blanket as he clutched it against his chest. "It's soft..."

"But... but fire's cozy..." Owen looked longingly toward the flames again, then at Necrozma. "Do I have to use that weird blanket again? It's not the same..." And stop insinuating he's working for me like you aren't, Diyem growled. If I needed to perform some sort of ritual, why would I use...

"Yeep!" The blast of energy sent Owen rolling out from under the pot and onto the packed dirt next to it. It was more like a shove than anything, but it still startled him a little. And he was just about to go to bed, too... "What was that for?" he complained, squinting at the ceiling. "I was...

Some time later, when most of the gummis were cooked and they had a generous spread for the whole team to enjoy, Owen came shambling inside with sore arms--he had been hanging on Truffle's back for quite a while, after all, and his body still felt weak and delicate. "Hey," he said...

Owen winced, but tried to hide it in the darkness. That didn't stop his tail from flaring up, though. "I think I'm going to get dinner and then an early night's sleep..."

Additionally, this is another reminder that some time late this weekend, I will be making the final advancement of the round to Day 2 ~ Morning. Please wrap up your scenes by the end of the weekend so I can advance. Then, at around Thursday of next week (about 9 days from now), I will start...

"Ch-Charmy? Boss?" Owen glanced skyward, wondering if the conspiracy that he and Diyem were working together had spread that much already. It would explain the three Charmander on the team...

Owen sighed, stepping along with the others. "Zane, you should probably stay in the dojo for now and lay low. I think we're going to have to figure out how to, uh, sort out the property damage and stuff... Not the building, just the, uh, shop, is what Diyem said happened." Truffle was...

Everything seems to be okay for now, Owen said, though his tone was uneasy. Rrgh... What a mess. Gather up and take shelter. We don't know what that thing is doing next. Ending communications for now. This takes up a lot of my energy... <><><>

"Now, now, let's not escalate things now that it's over," Truffle said, raising his wings to call everyone to attention. "It's been quite a night, and we still have a great deal to fight tomorrow, so let's not direct our energy toward each other." Owen eyed Fay uncertainly. Whatever he was...

Smeargle rubbed her forehead. "Truffle," she said taking a slow and deep breath. "Yes, Maple?" Truffle asked, landing and letting Owen dismount. The Charmander eyed the Smeargle--Maple, apparently--nervously. Something about her... Could he afford to get a read on her now? "Take care of this."...

"Hey, no healing! That's cheating! Do you see ME healing? Nu-uh!" "Who is this?" Smeargle said, pointing at the haze. "...Are you behind the giant Magikarp?" "Answer me first! Do you see ME healing? How about you heal from THIS!" She raised her blade and swiped toward Smeargle. Another...

"Ohh, you're distracting me, alright!" said the strange, hazy creature. "If you guys are going to attack me all at once... Uhuhu... Then maybe... juuust maybe..." She raised another blade of black-white fire. "I'll just attack first!" She blasted Zane, this time aimed directly at him. It was...

"Uhuhu, you'll have to try harder than that, Cranidos!" Cabot's attack whiffed straight through the flames, which licked at his body and left small burns against his scales--this wasn't normal fire. It hurt--staying in it for too long would make him pass out for sure... This creature was...

Chapter 52 – Reunion “We’re back!” “Owen’s back!” Willow cheered, skittering across the caverns to hop onto Owen’s head, using his lowered hand as a boost. By now, the gesture had become a small ritual for the Charizard and Joltik. “How’d it go?” “Uhhh… I mean, could’ve gone better,” Owen...

When Zane hit the ground with a heavy THUD, the clouds that had swirled around the floor where he'd been hit intensified. These flames were black, sucking in the light, yet their fringes were dotted with white sparks and aura, making some sort of black-white fire. "I didn't expect to see so...

Owen had gotten the same message and said to the others, "Don't worry, I'll, uh, I'm gonna find Truffle! You, uh--gummis--cold!" And he was out, sprinting as fast as his tiny Charmander legs could carry him.

As Zane continued his flight, it seemed that the fastest moving target was the most interesting for whatever force was following them. The haze encircled the area around the marketplace, stretching all the way to Kecleon Market itself. Then, without warning, something burst from the ground in...
