EoS: So, in this chapter, the group will head off to face the Moemon Pinchers, in order to reclaim Kurou!
Lauren: Yeah, we're finally gonna get Kurou back! It's time!
Supahyoloman9:
EoS: That's the effect of a double rainbow.
LexiconHuka:
Lauren: …Good for you.
TheLazyRiver:
EoS: He won't get any more, don't worry.
Amalgam24:
Lauren: But that's what makes her Kelsi, idiot. Kelsi is an embarrassing idiot, that's all.
PhoenixLord27:
EoS: Please, no.
Moemon Ranger: Memories of Oblivia Revoir
Chapter 32
"Hey, guys." Kellyn said, frowning. The three were practicing with the stylers in the field.
"Yeah?" Petal and Pichu asked, frowning.
"We need to get Kurou back from those guys." Kellyn said, frowning. "And there's only one place she can be."
"What? Where?" Petal asked, frowning.
"The only place." Kellyn said, frowning. "Back when I was a prisoner, I was blindfolded… But there was one thing I could tell about where I was."
"What?" Petal asked, frowning.
"It smelled like a specific kind of flower." Kellyn said, frowning. "I hadn't even thought about it then, or even until just now. But I remembered that the dock the ship was docked at had a similar aroma."
"Wow, you can tell that?" Pichu asked, her eyes shining.
"Yeah, recently, my nose has been getting more acute for some reason." Kellyn said, grinning.
"Strange…" Petal said, frowning. "If that's the case, then I can only think of one place it can be, if it's in Tilt Village."
"Where?" Kellyn asked, frowning.
"There was a cave there…" Petal said, frowning. "It must be on the opposite side of that."
"Yeah, it must be." Pichu said, nodding.
"Well, then what are we waiting for?" A voice called, the three turning around to see Nyu there, grinning.
"Let's get going, huh?" Nyu said, grinning.
"OH YEAH!" A voice exclaimed, Nyu turning to see Kana behind her, grinning.
"Let's get that little birdie back, huh?" Kana asked, grinning.
"Right!" Nyu said, nodding.
"I'll go too…" Mary said, frowning.
"I might as well…" Kaila said, frowning. "After all, Kurou's the only one of you that I can stand."
"Me too!" Rimei grinned. "It should be a lot of fun!"
"Yeah!" Rui said, grinning.
"…You aren't going." Kaila said, turning to Rui, frowning.
"You tyrant!" Rui complained.
"Call me names all you want, but I won't let you just kill yourself." Kaila said, frowning.
"I'm strong now!" Rui complained.
"Not strong enough." Kaila glared. Rui glared back, but eventually had to back off as Kaila was far too frightening.
"Fine, I'll stay here…" Rui complained.
"Okay, guys, let's get going!" Kellyn said, grinning. "Petal, take us to the cave!"
"Right." Petal said, nodding. The eight of them headed across the route, and before long, it became a little too frustrating to continue the journey.
"I'm going to call Raikou if you don't mind…" Petal complained. "This walking is too stressful… And it's taking too long."
"I know." Kellyn said, frowning. "You do that, I have my own idea."
"What?" Petal asked, frowning.
"Did you think that you were the only person who could use the Involiths?" Kellyn asked, grinning. He released his styler, and traced a symbol shaped like a beak on the ground.
A figure ran up to him, blushing.
"Um, Master Kellyn! I'm here, sir!" The young moemon said, panting. She wore a brown shirt and fluffy brown skirt, with brown pom-poms in each hand, and fluffy brown hair down to her neck. She had shining black eyes, and an embarrassed expression.
"Is that a Doduo?" Petal asked, surprised.
"Yup." Kellyn said, nodding.
"Um, hello, Kellyn, you called me?" Doduo asked, blushing.
"Yeah, I need your help." Kellyn said, nodding. "Do you think you could take me to the next town?"
"Of course!" Doduo said, her face brightening. "But, um, the rest of them…"
"Please, I can just fly over." Kana said, grinning.
"I can run faster than you can, anyway." Kaila said, frowning.
"Me too!" Nyu grinned.
"Whereas we…" Mary said, looking down.
"We can barely run at all…" Rimei sighed.
"I can fit two!" Doduo said adamantly. "Two people!"
"Awesome, then Raikou can carry me, Pichu, and Rimei." Petal said, nodding. "Mary, you can ride with Kellyn."
"Yay!" Mary grinned.
"…" Nyu glared enviously at Mary, who grinned cheerfully.
"Okay, go!" Petal said, releasing her capture styler, tracing Raikou's symbol, Raikou appearing in a flash of lightning.
"Okay, are you ready to get on?" Raikou asked, frowning. Petal clung to Raikou's back, and Rimei held onto her as well. Raikou got down on all fours and shot across the ground like a lightning bolt, the three holding onto her tightly.
"I-I don't think I can run that fast…" Doduo said, stunned.
"Don't worry, it's fine." Kellyn said, grinning. He and Mary got on Doduo's back, and Doduo ran off after Raikou. She stopped in town, panting.
"Wow, you actually got here pretty fast!" Kellyn said, surprised. Nyu and Kaila appeared after her, Kana dropping down, grinning.
"Where are the other three?" Kellyn asked, getting off of Doduo along with Mary. Doduo bowed to him quickly, and then ran away.
"Here…" Rimei said, walking towards Kellyn, collapsing in exhaustion. "Raikou is… Too fast…"
"Yeah, she really is." Petal said, nodding, walking up along with Pichu.
"Well, maybe you can run your way here by yourself." Raikou said, frowning.
The group headed up the cliff ridge towards the large cave, and entered it.
"Wow, this place is pretty dark…" Petal said, turning to Pichu.
"Step aside, kids." Kana said, smirking. She snapped her fingers, and a flame ignited in the palm of her hand, illuminating the cave.
"…Congratulations." Kaila said dryly. "You can be the replacement for lanterns everywhere."
"Yeah, how about I set you on fire too?" Kana asked, frowning, moving the flames closer to her.
"Bring it, matchstick." Kaila glared.
"SILENCE!" Raikou roared. "We have no time for these squabbles!"
"…Yes, ma'am…" The two said, nodding in fear.
"Good." Raikou said, nodding. "We're almost out of the cave. Just a little longer, and we'll be home free."
EoS: But what is at the end of the cave? Let's find out!
Lauren: Let's not.
