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.

" Your more familiar here you find our resting place." Shaman wasn't in need of rest but Darkshock was leader and his mate was asleep so it would be wise to camp.

Darkshock chuckled, "Camp? you seem to have forgotten of Seatha's ability," he said smiling.

Seatha yawned and woke up. She jumped off of Darkshock's back and turned into a torterra, "Hop aboard," she said giggling.

Shaman hopped onto the tree on her back and rested in a branch. Shaman fell asleep soon after.

Darkshock smiled and lay against the mountain on her back and fell to sleep.

Seatha smiled and began climbing the mountain through the night.

Shaman would be in a ghostly dream all night of aura ghost hunting him. He woke up startled and confused.

Seatha looked at Shaman as best as she could. Sadly torterra were easy targets on their backs as it being their blindspot. "Everything alright up there?" she asked straining her neck to look.

Darkshock stayed asleep though his ears flicked form time to time.

Shaman leaped off seetha's back." Mind if I walk by you?" Shaman dreams told him one thing the aura around here was strange he had felt it almost when they got here but now he was sure that this aura was very very bad.

Seatha nodded, "I don't mind, just don't be asking me for a ride at dawn," she said giggling.

" Oh no I won't." Shaman had been barely paying much sense to seetha's words. He was very troubled by this aura." Say seetha do you have a bad feeling about going up here. " Shaman wasn't gonna say he was sacred he wasn't he was just thinking if seetha had noticed the aura. since sometimes pokemon other than Aura could get weird vibes from it.

Seatha looked down at the Riolu and smiled, "Of course I notice it, but remember that Darkshock and I used to be in a Master*** rank exploration team, we've fought a couple of legendaries ourselves," she said smiling and kept climbing.

" How can you be so aware of the aura? I mean I am taking the feeling in full force it makes me almost want to puke but you and Darkshock don't even care." Shaman was flustered at this fact.

"Because we've learned to deal with it," Seatha said becoming silent.

Shaman shook his head. This is crazy. She is just making an excuse. Shaman sighed." Seetha your plan is.." Shaman didn't know how to put it. He was in no way a good destraction.

"Just keep Articuno's attention on you, don't worry we'll be fine," she said not looking at him.

Shaman sighed. THis would not go well if Shaman didn't tweak the plan a little. Shaman got the feeling he shouldn't but he was a natural born planner he would try at the very least.

Seatha yawned and looked as the sun began to rise, "Alright, time for my nap," she said changing back into a little Zorua.

Darkshock fell and was covered in snow, he glared at Seatha slightly who giggled.

Shaman looked at the pair. They seemed very much like very happy family. Shaman started to feel bad about his own family. He had lost count how many times he had thought it was all his fault.

Darkshock got up and shook the snow out of his fur, "A little warning next time?"

"I'm pregnant, I can be forgetful if I wanna be," Seatha said giggling as she skipped up the mountain

Shaman blinked in surprise." Wha? What?!" Shaman looked in surprise. She didn't look pregnant at all.

Darkshock noticed Shaman's confusion, "she was in heat only a couple of weeks ago, but she's sure of herself," he said as he began padding up to Seatha.

Seatha smiled to herself and wagged her tail back and forth.

Shaman looked at both and lost all interest. He really didn't want to start talking about the baby. It would just bring up bad thoughts of how his mother would have been sooooo happy to have a baby and that very baby was her undoing." I'll go scout ahead." Shaman ran forward and rushed ahead. He returned his eyes to there emtionless side and ran on.

Darkshock flicked his tail slightly when Shaman ran ahead.

"Want me to follow?" Seatha asked.

"No," Darkshock said, "he'll be fine."

Shaman really was great at controlling his emotions. He couldn't think of any thing in this state he had forced himself into. He just kept moving forward.

Darkshock flicked his ear and yawned,"Let's set a camp so you can rest, I'll go get Shaman," he said still yawning.

Seatha smirked, "No you get some sleep, I'll go find shaman, 'sides, I'll find him quicker," she said smugly already bounding away.

Shaman let up his speed and stopped to look back. He laid down when he saw nothing and faked sleep as he always did.
