EoS: So, I have some news for you guys! We've moved on to the elimination round of the Miss Moemon Contest, so I want you guys to cast your votes for who you think the five best female characters are! Go vote!

Lauren: …I didn't make the cut.

EoS: Well, Lulu did, and since Lulu is technically you…

Lauren: Just shut up.

Supahyoloman9:

EoS: Because she's a jerk.

LexiconHuka:

Lauren: Incorrect.

TheLazyRiver:

EoS: Oh, please.

Amalgam24:

EoS: No. No it wouldn't.

XtremeBud:

Lauren: All of them are annoying. And I'm glad you know about Doctor Who.

Moemon Ranger: Memories of Oblivia Revoir

Chapter 35

"So, how big is this stupid temple, anyway?" Petal complained. The four of them were walking through the temple, Petal beginning to get irritated at Venusaur clinging onto Kellyn.

"I dunno, a little further…" Venusaur said, shrugging, not taking her eyes off of Kellyn.

"It shouldn't be much farther until we get through it." Drapion clarified. "However, I do have one question for you two…"

"Wh-what?" The two asked, frowning, worried about what she was going to ask.

"What kind of clothes are those?" Drapion asked, frowning. "They aren't worn by anyone in the village. So I have to know, where did you get them? Where are you really from?"

"Um…" The two said, unsure of how to answer the question.

"We need to talk about this for a second." Petal said, smiling, dragging Kellyn with her.

"What do we tell them?" Kellyn whispered.

"I don't know." Petal whispered back. "We have to make something up!"

"Like what?" Kellyn demanded, still whispering.

"I don't know what!" Petal hissed. The two were silent for a while, then turned back to the two moemon, smiling innocently.

"We're from far away." Kellyn said, smiling.

"Yes, very far away." Petal said, smiling. The two turned away from the moemon again.

"Far away? That was the best you could do?" Petal demanded.

"I didn't see you pitch any ideas." Kellyn hissed.

"You know, it was easier to get you to do what I wanted when we were having sex." Petal hissed.

"You guys do realize we can HEAR you, right?" Drapion asked, frowning.

"Okay, look, we're from somewhere… Really far away." Petal said, frowning. "We were brought here by a certain person, in order to purify the temples."

"Where are you from?" Drapion demanded.

"…We can't tell you." Petal said, looking down.

"…" Drapion glared at them, frowning in contemplation as though she was trying to determine whether or not the two were telling the truth.

"…If you two are really here to protect this temple…" Drapion said, frowning. "Then I don't care where you're from. This temple is my home, and if you are going to protect it, then that's good enough for me."

"Me too." Venusaur said, grinning, Kellyn and Petal sighing in relief.

"Good, thanks guys." Petal said, smiling cheerfully.

"However, once this whole business with the temples is complete, I expect you two to tell us everything." Drapion said, frowning, the two nodding in defeat.

"Good." Drapion said, giving a wicked smile. "Then, we'd better get going."

"Strange…" Melody said, looking through Amun's diary as she was sitting in Leanne's library.

"What's strange?" Yomi asked, appearing next to her as a projection.

"This book says that eight temples were erected to serve the gods…" Melody said, frowning. "However, everything I've ever read on the subject of the Celestials has told me that there has always been seven. Not eight, only seven. Furthermore, it seems that Arceus was an apostle, a servant of the Celestials…"

"A servant?" Yomi asked, laughing. "That's hilarious."

"Why?" Melody asked, looking up, frowning.

"Because the last time Arceus was sighted, she fought against the Celestials." Yomi said, licking her lips.

"How do you know?" Melody asked, frowning.

"I've got a few sources of my own…" Yomi cackled, tapping her head. "You see, Melody, long ago I read the soul of a man who fought in that battle. And he remembered it in perfect detail."

"You can read people's minds?" Melody asked, frowning.

"Yes." Yomi said, chuckling. "So you better start listening to me, or I'll tell everyone who your first crush was."

"You think you can blackmail me, Yomi?" Melody asked, frowning. "You do realize that while you possess this body, you're at my mercy, right?"

"Oh, this should be intriguing…" Yomi said, smiling wickedly.

"If I were to kill myself, I would move on to the afterlife…" Melody said, frowning. "But what about you? I imagine that if you could pass on, you would have done so already. So I assume if you're not in a living body, or in a certain area, then you would cease to exist."

"Yes…" Yomi said, nodding, her eyes shining. "However… I would find the cessation of existence to be a rather interesting end…"

"Don't worry." Melody said, shaking her head, blushing. "I don't have the guts to kill myself."

"Pity." Yomi said, shaking her head. "It would have been interesting…"

"You know, you've got a lot of pride." Melody said, frowning. "You do realize that you're more or less a Haunter, right?"

"…" Yomi looked at Melody, frowning.

"A Haunter…" Yomi said, curling up into half a ball on the floor.

"…Okay, so you won't be bothering me, right?" Melody asked, turning back to her book. Suddenly, her eyes widened.

"What is it?" Yomi asked, looking up, frowning.

"It says here…" Melody said, trembling. "It says that Sechrima designed a super weapon…"

"A super weapon?" Yomi asked, her eyes shining. "What kind of super weapon?"

"It was said to be able to control the mind of any being…" Melody said, frowning. "Look."

Melody held the book up, and showed the picture to Yomi. It seemed to look like a floating island.

"A floating island?" Yomi asked, frowning. "That's a weapon?"

"I guess so…" Melody said, nodding. "It was said that back when Sechrima created the weapon, it controlled the mind of the temple priests."

"Is that bad?" Yomi asked, frowning. "Because that was a long time ago…"

"Well, if someone conveniently traveled back to that time to take back the temples, it would be a problem…" Melody said, frowning.

EoS: So, it's bad for them.

Lauren: Very bad.
