Haley, Alex, Bjorn
"Is she... Really only sick? Is this medical equipment even working?"
"Yeah. It's just... She's been sick for a long time. And it just got worse and worse... There were a lot of pills in that cabinet over there, but we didn't dare just picking some and hoping they worked or something... They might just as well have killed her after all, right? We just didn't know... So we stuck with trying to hook her up to the machinery, hoping that at least helps her breathe better, and it'd eventually get better... It didn't."
"...But some other humans came by not too long ago. I kind of tried to shoo them away, but... I suppose I'm glad I failed, cause one of them helped. We got her on meds now. It's too early to tell, but... Hopefully it'll work."
"...If that will be necessary. I'll do my best to help."
"Um...go ahead and do your thing Luna."
Luna nods, taking a deep breath as she moves to the zoroark's side... Closing her eyes as for a brief moment Alex sees Luna's aura spark alive with a divine presence, and a surge of healing would enter the zoroark mother... And... Nothing seemed to happen. There's a couple seconds of awkward pause as Luna eventually raises her hand. It didn't look like anything particular had happened for either Haley or Bjorn, besides perhaps a soft golden glow.
"...I'm sorry. This ability is usually reserved for healing wounds and such. It might not always work for..."
Her apology is interrupted by a sudden cough, and a stirring from the table. The mother slowly opening her eyes, as Numa was quick to dash up to her side.
"Easy mom! Don't try to move yet... You're going to be better, okay? The meds we're getting you now and such will make that happen... But keep resting for now."
Numa seems happy... A huge difference from her usual scowling. She does turn somewhat to the trainers. "Would you... Mind giving me some time alone?"
Koa
Taking his reward, Koa starts searching the room further, looking for any potential place to insert his key... But he seems unable to find anything. He does remember the place Fatale showed him, though, and how it would have been literally impossible for him to find that keyhole if he hadn't seen her put it in... Was there something he's missing? In each case, if there is a keyhole here... There probably has to be something else that "reveals" the keyhole, too.
Confirming he's not going to find anything unless he presses every minute inch on the walls piece by piece, though, and even then might not find anything, he eventually turns back to explore more of the maze, collecting his idols on the way out... Now turning right once again at the crossing and, after another linear path, finds himself in another larger room... That is more lively than any other he has encountered before.
The walls and ceilings are absolutely covered in webs... Most notably the ceiling, that is covered in such an amount of webbing that he's not sure how high the ceiling here might actually be. And as he shines up his torch, can see the writhing of many, many pokemon up there... A couple spinarak briefly glancing down at him, before quickly scurrying away into deeper webs. To his right, it seems there's an exit out of this room... And straight ahead, he notices a larger, open passageway into a smaller room... Although the passageway is completely blocked by webs, and the floor beyond it is completely covered, too. He thinks he can see something inside there, though...
Phoenix
Kanga is recalled as Phoenix moves himself up next to the wall, while Charming hits with another
water pulse- Knocking out the crustle and winning the battle!
Phoenix earns 400 exp to share among his pokemon
Irene
"Oh is this the section for people who are afraid of being annoyed to death? I'll come back for that tape, but here's the thing, there's more doors for this key to unlock first why would I give it away!"
"You asked for the price."
"We simply gave it to you."
"When you do it matters little."
"You'll be back."
"Those who get this far... They always do."
The creatures chuckle again as Irene leaves, jogging back towards the exit in the other direction she came from... She does figure that, just as there was a door on the other side, there might be one on this one..? She does keep an eye out, but does not immediately encounter anything of the sorts on her way back over... Then again, there's probably a lot of dead ends left unexplored, and it'd probably be in a bit of a peculiar location, wouldn't it..? She could try actively looking for it, perhaps.
For now, though, she finds herself back at the hallway, inserting the key as the next iron door begins to open..! Revealing... My god, it couldn't be! It's...
Another iron door.
At this point it seems like this might as well become a game of frustration, as irene looks back at the engraving of this mysterious NIGHTMARE URN... Now, with a pair of spooky claws reaching downwards to it, too. Once again, on her left, was a rewards machine, this time dispensing an TM: dark pulse, X-scissor, or brick break. While to her right, there was an old TV set... Together with a strangely modified VHS set, with three little red lights on it.
Izzy
Jack lets out a frown as you reveal yet another ace up your sleeve... As he none the less gives that by now known command:
"Bite through it Mugger!"
The sandile does, blocking a lot of the hit... But still heftily damaged as the counterattack is issued- The sandile putting Bugsy in a rock tomb for 50(44) damage, and putting him in a vortex! Consciously kept a couple feet away from the sandile...
"I must say I am mildly impressed... It's rare I find myself needing to use that on each of my pokemon, and have it be extremely warranted as well. At this level of the competition, at least."
