Another chapter.

Nomercy745: Soon. Probably towards the end of my Aurore story (because that's gonna have a lot of spoilers)

TheLightningPunisher: Well, what do you think?

RandomDragon: My advice? Lock and load montage, followed by death. …No, no, I'm writing a novel too, and I listen to music to block out all sound.

Aslan333: Thanks! …Again.

HidingFrromTheCold: Maybe.

Electrify: I might read that blog.

Moemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia

Chapter 40

"Well, this is dark." Petal said, looking around, frowning. "No, really, this is really dark."

Petal continued looking around, though there was nothing in sight, due to the darkness of the cave.

"Will that be all?" Drifblim asked, bowing.

"Oh, wait, I have a question." I said. "Um, one of our friends is missing, and the only place he could go was here. Did you bring him up here?"

"No, I did not." Drifblim said, shaking her head. "He should still be down there. Unless…"

"Unless?" Petal inquired.

"Unless he was taken…" Drifblim said, frowning.

"Taken? Taken by whom?" I asked.

"The ghost moemon." Drifblim answered. "If humans ever come near their territory, they kidnap them. They then proceed to drain the human of his fluids, and continue to use him until he runs out."

"Wait, so you're saying that Keith was kidnapped by a cult of moemon that are gonna fuck him until he's dead?" I asked.

"We have to go save him!" Petal exclaimed, Mary and I looking at her shocked.

"Wait, you want to SAVE Keith?" I said, surprised. "I thought you hated him!"

"…I do." Petal said, frowning.

"Wait, so why do you want to save him?" I asked, suspicious.

"Depriving Keith of happiness is more enjoyable than the thought of never seeing him again." Petal answered.

"Oh, that makes sense." I said, nodding. "Let's go."

"Farewell." Drifblim said, bowing, disappearing down the hole in the grey stone floor.

"Alright, let's go." I said, grabbing onto Petal's hand, Petal grabbing Mary by the hair.

"Ow…" Mary said, holding her wooly head in pain.

"Petal…" I said, frowning.

"Fine…" Petal sighed, letting go of Mary's hair and grabbed onto her hand. We made our way through the stone passageway, the guiding light of the styler swirling above our heads, lighting the way.

"Hey, Kelly, I don't mean to be mean, but I think we should stop using the styler."

"Why?" I asked, frowning.

"POWER LOW." The styler answered, flashing red.

"Oh, right." I said, frowning. "That was stupid. I should focus on letting the power recharge." I returned the styler to its' slot, letting it recharge. "Alright, so bring out your styler."

"What do I look like, an idiot?" Petal asked. "You just blew most of your power. I'm going to save mine. Do you have any idea how bad it would be if both of us ran out of power?"

I nodded, agreeing with her, then realized that she couldn't see me anymore, so I said "good point."

We felt our way through the passageway, and soon reached a large clearing.

"Yah!" A voice shouted. Light flashed for a millisecond, and Mary flew backwards, hitting the wall.

"Wait, that moemon just made light!" Petal said, surprised. "Quick, let's capture it!" Petal released the disk from her styler, shooting out a beam of light. The light shot towards the moemon, surrounding it with a halo of light. The moemon wore a yellow t-shirt with a black lightning bolt on the front, and yellow jeans. She had a yellow and black striped tail growing out of her butt, and had yellow and black hair down to her shoulders, two antenna sticking out her hair.

"An Electabuzz!" I said, surprised. In the time I did, Petal had already caught her, the room darkening again.

"Hey, Electabuzz, can you use flash?" Petal asked.

"Sure!" Electabuzz shouted from somewhere. A ball of light shot up into the air, and released a flash of light, illuminating the cavern completely.

"Alright, let's go find Keith." Petal said. "Hey, Electabuzz, do you know where ghost moemon hang out?"

"Oh, sure I do! In fact, I'll light the way!" Electabuzz said cheerfully. She led us to a passage, and we headed through, Electabuzz repeatedly lighting our way. In a few minutes, we reached another room, this one having both a tunnel leading away and a strange stone tablet engraved into the wall, glowing symbols engraved in it.

"Okay, the ghost moemon are in here. But to get in there you need a moemon that can use psy power." Electabuzz said.

"The hell we do." Petal said, holding up her pipe. "I'll break this door down in one hit, just like I did that rock from before."

"Wait, that's not a good idea…" Electabuzz warned.

"Get back." Petal said, placing the pipe at her side, holding the end like a sword hilt. "Second Stance… Nadeshiko."

Petal charged at the door, thrusting the pipe into it. However, nothing happened. Then, all of a sudden, wall seemed to glow.

"What the hell?" Petal asked, staring at the wall.

"Get down!" Electabuzz said, tackling Petal to the ground. Suddenly, the wall released a shockwave of energy from it. The energy shot into the far wall, shattering an enormous crater into the side of it. The door, on the other hand, was untouched, the pipe falling to the ground.

"What the heck was that?" I asked, helping Petal to her feet as she brushed herself off.

"Sorry, sorry!" Electabuzz said, bowing repeatedly. "See, um, well, I forgot to mention… Any physical damage inflicted onto the wall will be absorbed and reflected back at the user."

"Wait…" I said, turning my head to the crater in the wall. "So that's the power of that technique Petal used?"

"Yeah." Petal said, nodding. "That's the amount of power it releases into the target."

"Um, that blew a hole all the way into the next room…" Mary said, hiding behind me, scared of Petal for some reason.

"Um…" The Banette on the other side of the wall said, shaking. She wore a loose black shirt that covered her down to her hips, and had long black hair tied back in a ponytail, and red eyes glowing with fear.

"Um, hey…" Petal said, waving at Banette.

"Don't hurt me!" Banette said, terrified. "I'll do anything you want, just don't use that technique on me!"

"Um, Banette have the psy power." Electabuzz informed us.

"Oh, hey, Banette, can you use psy power to open that door?" Petal asked sweetly.

"Yes, yes, yes I can!" Banette said, nodding repeatedly. She hovered over to the door, and released a blast of psychic power at the door, which slowly raised up, opening up for us to go in. Banette ran off in fear, and the rest of us headed into the chamber. Inside of the chamber, was, well, quite an amazing sight.

There were ghost moemon of all kinds around Keith, who was laying on the stone floor. The moemon were licking and kissing his body, staring at Keith with a combination of both lust and hunger.

"Hey, Kelly, snap out of it." Petal said, snapping her fingers in front of my face. I had been drooling.

Crap.

Yeah, don't think Petal's gonna like that.
