Kurotaiyou was walking throught the guild trying to find Tsukishiro but with no luck. "I guess I'll have to find someone else to help me." she mused. She continued to look around when she saw Oswald, "Hey Ozwald!! Want to come with me on a Mission?!" she asked.

"Gah, I said get off!" Oswald yelled, finally ending the Poochyena's resistance by Force Palming the pooch in the nose, causing it to yipe in pain before it fainted. The Poochyena's grip instantly loosened, and Oswald was able to free himself once more.

"Need any help over there Kuro?" Oswald asked, hurrying over to the Houndoom's side, while making sure to stay out of her way, incase she were to continue her assault on the four Poochyena.

The last Poochyana fainted underneth the Houndoom's paw, "Don't worry I got it. Where is the client?" Kurotaiyou asked looking around. The other Poochyana were on the ground aswell as their commerade they too, had fainted.

"These pups were weak. No wounder they attacked us in a group." Kuro said.

Oswald's eyes widened when Kuro asked him where the client was, "Wait, I thought you were looking after the client..."

The mienfoo gulped audibly, a cold sweat running down the back of his neck as he started glancing up at the trees, trying to see if he could spot the Ariados amongst the branches and leaves.

"Yawn! What's with all the camotion?" the Ariadous asked.

Ooc: Kuro's Face T.T

IC: "He was asleep the whole time." she said bluntly.

Oswald blinked in disbelief, and nearly fainted from emotional whiplash. Thankfully, he was stronger willed than that, so instead of fainting, the mienfoo simply sighed, "Well, at least he isn't half way through the forest with a bunch of Swellow chasing after him. So, which way do we go now?"

"Away from here before that Poochyana comes back." Kurotaiyou said taking out her Oran Berry, placing it beside the Fainted Pokemon.

"Come on you two we have to find my berries." the client said imationly but with a more kind voice.

"Yeah, the last thing we want is to meet it's friends." Oswald replied, quickly running around the unconscious bodies of the poochyena gang so that he wouldn't trip over them. Oswald had quickened his pace, not wanting the reinforcements to catch up to the trio, while hoping that his current partner and client would try to follow along and take his pace.

"Oswald wait for us!" Kurotaiyou said running to catch up with her currant partner.

Ariaduos moved his legs quickly to also catch up.

Oswald skidded to a halt, barely hearing what Kuro had said because of the wind whistling through his ears while he had ran.

"What did you say?" Oswald asked, patiently waiting for the Houndoom to catch up so that she could answer his question.

"I said wait for us." Kuro said catching up to the Mianfoo.

Oswald's ears drooped anxiously, "Sorry, I thought you guys could keep up,"

The Mienfoo sniffed at the air, pausing for a moment as he took another quick whiff at the air. He definitely recognized the smell, and smiled to himself as he followed his nose, the scent leading him to a small sapling of a tree that still had a Cheri berry attached to it.

"Well, looks like we found a Cheri berry for you Ariados. Want me to hold onto it Kuro?" Oswald asked, gently picking the berry from the small tree before offering it to his Houndoom compatriot.

"Sure." Kuro said as she kept an eye on their client. "Maybe he was just cranky because he didn't have a nap?" she guessed.

"Maybe he just under-estimated our abilities. I mean, I'll admit that I don't really evoke terror in my foes, what with my current appearance." Oswald replied, seeing his cutesy figure as a burden more than anything.

The mienfoo stuffed the cheri berry into his bag, mentally making note of it on the list of things they needed to collect. They still needed to collect two more cheri berries, and if they couldn't find a pair of Oran berries, Oswald would gladly donate his own to the Ariados.

"Now let's hurry, I don't want to get ambushed by that poochyena's pals, or worse, his parents." Oswald stated, looking between the left and right path that forked ahead of the trio.

"Well there could be worse pokemon." Kuro said as she continued to walk. She placed her nose colse to the ground and started to sniff around. The Ariaduos was watching closely, "Why did my gaurd have to be a fire type?" he muttered.

"I guess. But you shouldn't underestimate the enemy either. One wrong move and bam! You're sitting in the Guild infirmary, licking your wounds because you thought "It's just a Magikarp, what could it possibly do?"" Oswald replied, walking around the area with his nose pointed towards the air, trying to see if he could pick up the scent of any nearby pokemon.

"Having any luck over there Kuro?" Oswald asked, finishing his nasal scan of the perimeter and returning to the group with nothing new to report.
