After several hours of searching and a surprisingly hasty escape from Batol...
???: Uh, hum, I didnāt expect to be treated like this... I must be interrupting... Right? Iām sorry, I didnāt mean to uh, disturb you guys. I was um, I had orders to scope out this area. Is that cool? Uh, sorry for scaring you... Iām uh, Iām Brimstone! Sorry for not saying that earlier. I heard there, uh... There was an uh, ah, a baby, did I miss it? I was looking for a baby. Its um, I think itās blue, like the uh, like... Like the big guy over there!
Brimstone: Oh, āscuse me, is this the baby? I donāt think so... Youāre not blue, at all! If you could let go, that would be nice...
Brimstone: I smelled um, well... I smell pee? Yeah... I think... I think Iāll follow that scent, ācause uh, babies pee... right? I saw a blue pee thing walk this way, so I guess Iāll head that way. Thanks for uh, hm... Hosting me? Hosting me! Thanks for hosting me. If uh, if my brothers come by, they can give you the um, the uh, the whole official business.
Batol: Keh-heh hoo, horf.... By goodness, that is the most Iāve crawled in over a hundred years! Iāll be a buff puppy in no time! Ahh... How many weeks has it been since the boy left...? Perhaps itās time for a phone call.
Batol: Letās see, what was the pattern again...?
???: Master is calling...?
Batol: Hello? Hello, yes, Iām looking for the apple of my eye?
???: Very funny, master. State your reason for contacting me. I know you donāt typically send beacons willy-nilly like this.
Batol: Ah, phoey! I canāt call my apprentice because I miss her anymore? I guess Iāll have to hang up now, because I must only have DIRE NEWS. Keh-heh hoo! My dear girl, do you remember the boy?
???: The boy from my prophecy?
Batol: Why, come to think of it, yes! That boy indeedy! You used to sing all day and night about his coming, that song was practically ingrained in my head. How did it go again? Ahem-hem--
???: Excuse me! What about him, master?
Batol: Oh! Oh, yes. Heās real. And Iāll be sending him your way shortly.
???: Master...? Are... Are you certain itās him?
Batol: Heās a chubby little Wartortle--by Arceus is that one fat-- and his name is Rory Avalon, the Raindancer boy who was stolen out from under the Bahamutās nose. I need you to take him to the sea and call Lady Aria for him.
???: But I havenāt summoned Lady Aria in years...
Batol: True, true, you are correct... But! We have to send him back to Water Village, after all, and I donāt think you want to swim all the way there yourself!Ā His friend wants to return to her home up in the mountains, to join some hobo trainer I believe, but that would surely kill him.
???: But sending him to the kingdom thatās desperately searching for him is safe?
Batol: Nothing gets past you, my dear! Keh-heh-hoo! It most certainly is another suicide mission, for sure. A fight to the death, however, heās more likely to win. Iāll send the boys down with him, it will be like a happy family reunion!
???: Are you sure thatās wise? You know how Aramis can be.
Batol: Keh! The kids still canāt be that angry! It was eons ago... Quite literally! Anyway, tell them daddy says hello!
???: Theyāre out at the moment.
Batol: Tell them daddy says hello!
???: Master theyāre--
Batol: Tell them da--
???: Daddy says hello. I promise you the message will be delivered.
Batol: Keh-heh-hoo! I canāt believe you were under my wing for so many years and you never learned my sense of humor! Ahh, this was a great call. Thank you for your time, my dear. Goodbye!
Rory: So... When are we going back to the swamp? Weāve been here a really long time...
Aramis: Boy, do you see this pond here?
Rory: Yeah, it looks like Masterās spring.
Aramis: Master Batol and all his apprentices have little springs like this. Theyāre connected by his Aura. By tapping into his Aura, he can send us messages, either individually or to all of us. When he is ready, he will call.
Rory: How will we know heās calling? What if we miss it?
Freya: With his stupid little laugh, I doubt weād be able to miss him.
Rory: I donāt know my dad. I mean, I donāt know my mom either, but Freya had loads of stories about mom and none about dad. She doesnāt know his name or even what Pokemon he couldāve been. All I know is that he wasnāt there for when my egg was laid. I know he loved my mom, because he at least loved her enough to make me.
Freya: Obviously you werenāt keen on listening to your elders when they talk, because Iāve already discussed this in some detail before not too long ago. If you canāt pay attention, you wonāt get very far in life, thatās for sure.
Freya: My official charges are contempt of the crowned Bahamutās wishes. Bahamut Nova requires Rory for some Arceus-forsaken ritual, but Roryās mother pleaded me to take him off the island before he had even hatched. A promise to my best friend is more valuable than an order from a tyrant who wishes to harm children for his own gain.
Athos: Such guilt over mere childrenās scribbles... What a fool you are.
Freya: Th-these are much more than his scribbles! These are memories of his that I canāt risk him finding again! His entire life has been full of fear and trauma, am I so wrong for wanting him to lead a happy, normal life?!
Athos: My, arenāt you defensive... Guilty conscience, I see. I canāt blame you for wanting to hide past mistakes.
Freya: Excuse me?
Athos: I know the signs. Feigning ignorance to your part in his fate will get you nowhere except further down the Diggersby hole. You have just as much a hand in his suffering as the Arcanines who hunt you.
Freya: You filthy eavesdropper! And what makes you think you have any right to comment on our lives?! Youāre a stranger! A homeless vagabond!!
Athos: You pathetic fool... We three have ties to very powerful Pokemon across all the realm. Healers, witches, prophets, legendaries... Even your precious Rana and her lady retainer had ties to us. We are not a group to be meddled with.
Freya: How do you know-- Why should I trust that?!
Athos: You shouldnāt.
Freya: Why you--
Athos: Enough. I donāt want to hear the wretched whimpering of another disgraced fool. You learn to deal with your problems like an adult or you shut your mouth. Lashing out achieves nothing.
Freya: ....
Athos: Better put these mindless scribbles away. After all, we wouldnāt want to make that poor boy cry any more.
Rory: (smack, chompf) Huh? (gulp) I-Iāve already told a few of you guys before, I just donāt like it! Is that really such a weird thing...? Iām not a strong swimmer, so the currents and rip-tides are scary, and... Yāknow... If youāre not a good swimmer... and the big waves... I donāt like to talk about this--
Rory: Ack! Wh-wh-where are you all coming from?! Thatās right! Freya! Whereās Freya?! These people are scaring me! Make them leave me alone! Freya...!
Rory: Wh-who... F-Frey... NNGH....
She ... She slipped on the ice and fell off and she couldnāt swim and I wanted to go back but the Arcanines were chasing us and Freya said not to let go of her no matter what butsheletgowhenshefelland, and, and--!!
Fuzz @ Freya: Did you ever have a trainer? did you fight? I was just a pet back at my ranch..what made them let you go..?..Sorry if thats a mouthfull miss..
Freya: I did have a trainer! He was a young man who lived far up at the peak of Ongdahl Crag-- that is, a very snowy mountain where I was born. He didnāt have a ranch quite like yours, it was more like a Pokemon Center than anything. What he did was rescue bird Pokemon and rehabilitated them. After they were all better, he released them back into the wild! Or at least, the ones who recovered were. He kept many of the permanently injured ones as pets.
Freya: I was born with a weak constitution, so my parents abandoned me as soon as I hatched. I donāt believe they were particularly cruel Pokemon, but they didnāt want to rear a child who might not survive the harsh climate. I never blame them for leaving me. My trainer found me struggling in the wild to make a peep, and he kept me until I was strong enough to fend on my own. Iām sure youāve heard my yard boom!
Freya: As for battling... Iād... Iād really rather not say. But! Iām hoping Rory and I are able to head back to the mountain peak during our travels. Not only am I sure he would welcome us back with loving arms, but he might be able to stave off our current problem... Alas, itās been about twenty years since I last saw him. Itās unlikely he stayed in such an unforgiving part of the world into his golden years... A very wishy-washy situation indeed....
Ori@Rory: "Hey little buddy" Ori lightly hits him on the shoulder. "How do you feel about these sylveon guys after they wrecked your shit."
Rory: They all speak this weird funny way that Iāve never heard before! When they donāt want me to know what theyāre saying, they start talking that funny say-mag-nee-FEEK jibber jabber. Iāll figure out what theyāre saying someday! Master Batol said Iām good at picking up weird things like that, so their mumbo-jumbo should be a piece of cake! So far, thereās nothing bad to say about these guys, they give me lots of yummy food, a clean pond to swim in, I'm happy. ā¦Wellā¦. Exceptā¦
Rory: ā¦Athos is pretty creepyā¦ I mean, really really creepy! I donāt think Iāve seen him blink once since I first met him! And weāve been here a few days! His fur looks really ratty and his teeth are super gross, and heās stinky tooā¦ I donāt think heās a Fairy-type at all, more like a Poison-type or, orā¦ something else gross!Ā Iāll take you over him any day, fish-theifā¦
Sol@Rory)) Howdy! I don't think we've met before, but I have a question, do you have a type of favorite of berry or food in general? ((I suck at interactions lmao
Rory: I really like those new berries that are the size of my shell! Those Sylveons canāt hide them from me anymore now that I can climb these funny trees. They taste like sunshine! And happiness! Sometimes my tongue feels like itās on fire! What were they called again...?
Freya: Those are called Pinap berries, dear. You should really swap them out for a different berry if your tongue keeps hurting. Too much of a good thing can be very bad, everything in moderation you know!
Freya: Have our guest try some of the other tropical berries, like Liechis or the Petayas. There are Starf berries too, which are exceptionally juicy! And my favorites, Occa berries and Chople berries are perfectly ripe here!
Rory: But all of those are gross... I donāt wanna give our guest disgusting things...
Freya: ............. (sigh) Picky as ever... Donāt come complaining when you eat yourself sick on Pinaps.
((sorry for the lack of updates, my internet has been down so iām having a hard time getting inspired to draw big plot things..... in the meantime, roryās been enjoying the oasis!))

Rory: Yes!!! I had one when I was real little! Freya said the village called them Sacred Stones--or was it Prophetic Stones? Ritual Stones...? But like you said, some kinda stone, thatās for sure! Some other āmons were calling them Mega Stones. Freya told me there was a big crystal field at the bottom of this gi-NORMOUS volcano, and a whole bunch of them grew there! You could pick āem like a big apple off a tree!
Rory: I lost mine when we first left the village. If we canāt find it washed up on the shores somewhere, I hope we can go back and pick another one day. I just hope Mama doesnāt notice itās any different when I give it back! Maybe I can even find one for you, too! You look really cool now, but youād look even cooler with an extra evolution!
Freya: Other egg? Hooo... I canāt seem to remember... For the amount of time Iāve spent looking at that picture, Iām surprised I canāt recall! I suppose it wasnāt anyone--
Freya: --Important................
Freya: ...... H-he canāt.... Please donāt tell Rory I have these....
Porthos: Hey, coucou! Rise and shine with the sun, sleepyhead! Come out of your shell, please! If you latch on any longer Iām gonna make you pay rent, yaĀ hear? Hweh heh heh!
Athos: Thatās a very unkind thing to threaten a child with.
Porthos: Ouille, lighten up! Iām not a meanie like that, Iām only fun and games! Besides, youāve done way worse things to kids! Birdette got off your back and started walking, do you know how heavy shells are? Do you see all this drool? Zut, heās going to ruin my flawless coat!
Athos: Enfin! (groan) Et toc, cāest bien fait pour toi...
Rory: (ya~awn) Quit your yapping, Iām up...!
Rory: Woah! Where are we!
Porthos: Only the most super-duper extra-spectacular place in all of Ingozet!
Aramis: Home.
Aramis: Welcome to the Zezura Oasis, cāest chouette, hein?
Batol: Thatās an absolutely ridiculous assumption! Me, feeling unwell, keh-heh-hoo! Iām no spring Combusken, but I dare say this is the best Iāve felt in millennia!Ā Who cares about my nasty cracked gem, I have a student who would be more than willing to fix it for me! Why, if I could stretch out my hind legs, Iād be in paradise~ It will take some getting used to, but feels good to be back in these old bones, if only for a little while.
Batol: Oooh--Clarke, you have thumbs, could you do me a favor and rub my ears? Iām afraid I havenāt got a leg to stand on--much less scratch them with! Kee-hee-hah-HAAH!! I still got it!
