The Cooks and the Explorers climb the mountain

First topic message reminder :

Darkshock sat down at the foot of the mountain with Seatha as he waited for Team Night Fire to join them.

Seatha padded up to Shaman and poked him repeatedly, "C'mon we're gonna set up camp for a bit," she said.

" You guys can camp to gather I'll stay here." Shaman rolled half over so his back was to her.

Seatha narrowed her eyes and turned into a Lucario. She picked Shaman up like a baby and carried him back to camp.

Shaman was uninterested by seetha's gesture thous he didn't care and allowed seetha to carry him this once. He sat at the edge of camp with his back turned to Darkshock and seetha.

Darkshock was already asleep curled up slightly to make room for Seatha.

Seatha looked at Shaman worriedly, "You're gonna be alright, right?" she said turning back into a zorua.

Shaman made no attempt to answer the question and laid down with his back still to Seetha.

(It's Seatha not Seetha)

Seatha side and curled up against Darkshock, falling to sleep slowly.

Shaman remained and silent guard in his aura mode and waited for one of them to wake.

Both slept soundly for a good part of the day. It was almost noon when Darkshock yawned and stretched.

Shaman stayed on his silent watch even as Darkshock rose.

Darkshock nudged both of the other pokemon up and began climbing the mountain again.

Seatha yawned and bounded up to Darkshock.

Shaman looked at the two. They were very happy to gather it seemed. " Sorry." Shaman whispered slightly loud enough for both to hear as he kept moving forward at the same pace.

Darkshock looked back slightly, "sorry for what?" he said.

Seatha flicked her ear.

Shaman looked away and bit his lip. These whole sorry and and it's all my fault moments really didn't suit him." Well I'm sure you were offended when I ran at the mention of your kids. I just can't stand talking of family or anything like that I have already thought threw my mom's death a thousand times and I still can't help but blame myself." Shaman sighed and looked at the sky.

Darkshock chuckled, "Did you think we were offended? we're actually relieved," he said chuckling still.

"We're new parents, we're nervous, we don't know the slightest in raising a child, we're having to go on instincts," Seatha said smiling.

" You guys will do great." Shaman smiled at them. Shaman stopped and looked at the top of the mountain suddenly.

Both chuckled and looked up as well, silencing them as they saw storm clouds circling the peak.

"I think it's proven that Articuno is here now..." Darkshock said quietly.

Shaman eyes turned cold and he nodded darkly. " How did the plan go again I am suppose to destract something that can make storm clouds appear just by arriving.?" Shaman wasn't one for fear but he also wasn't stupid. Darkshock better be a one tough son of a gun to fight that.

(son of a gun rofl)

Darkshock smirked, "Don't worry, Seatha will use foulplay to block attacks to us, and send thme right back," he said.

Shaman swore silently under his breath. This was not good he had a really bad feeling his part of the plan.

Darkshock began climbing the mountain again. "C'mon no use just sitting around," he said as he trudge through the snow.

Seatha began to follow him when she noticed something sticking out of the snow. Out of curiosity she padded over to it.

Lol, i felt the need to post

Articuno was sat with her feathers fluffed up at the top of the mountain, attempting to sleep whilst the pokemon climbed. She knew she wouldnt get much sleep when they arrived though.

Seatha tilted her head curiously and began pulling at the silky object in the snow. It refused to budge as she noticed part of it was under a rock.

Darkshock looked at his mate curiously.

Shaman didn't care for the object but the cold was irrating. Like a a ghost type was blowing constant stream of cold air at him and the ice in the wind didn't help much. Shaman rubbed his hands together. " Darkshock come on were gonna freeze to death iss don't keep moving." Shaman reached into his back and pulled out so gloves .

Darkshock looked back at Shaman confusedly, he's lived in cold environments most of his life. He's never truly felt cold.

Seatha growled pulling at the thing in the snow.
