"That's okay," Scruffy replied to her. "These nightmares have induced enough panic and stress in us for quite a while. And now we know they may or may not mean something..." The dark fusion sighed.
Sparks nodded. "Nightmares aren't fun! But let's focus on the happy dreams instead." Scruffy tilted his head, appreciative that Sparks was trying to lighten the mood. "I had this one dream I could fly, for some reason!" Sparks was saying. "And so I was flying all over the treetops...but then guess what? I saw a Celebi! I've never seen a Celebi before, ever! And the Celebi was showing me all the hidden places of the forest..."

"That reminds me of the dream I had when I was plowing through the ground, and I wound up in a cave," Trevmor mentioned. "In this cave I saw Jiriachi, and she allowed me to make a wish. I... would rather not go into what I wished for."

Sparks grinned as she flicked Trevmor with her tail teasingly. "World domination?"

I looked at Cyra "Can I help you forget about the nightmares in anyway?" I asked

I hugged Cyra "Maybe if we fill your head with good memories... The bad ones will go away" I said as I looked into Cyra's eyes

I lifted Cyra's head up "We'll make new memories... Just trust me ok? I want you to be happy" I said

I smiled before kissing Cyra on the forehead "We will all help you"

"Yeah, we're all in this together now," Trevmor added. "By the way, does anyone know how close we are to our destination?"

Scruffy was silent throughout the entire dream discussion. He himself was thinking about Cyra's dream. A Suicune…one of the most graceful, beautiful Pokemon out there. What an honor it would be, to meet one in person or even dream of one. Scruffy turned to face Cyra again. Cyra was like a Suicune, in his mind. Though she wasn't a Suicune's aqua blue, she matched the Legendary in her poise and grace-
Scruffy watched in surprise as Cyra turned to Austin, consulting him. A stab of hurt pierced his chest. Cyra had always turned to him before about her feelings. His confusion and unease increased as Austin continued flirting with her, and finally he kissed her forehead.
Unseeable to the others, Scruffy's talons unsheathed and shredded into the grass. His ears lowered as the skin underneath his fur and feathers heated up. Whether it was from anger or bewilderment, he couldn't tell, as he turned away.

"I'm guessing a couple days or something!" Sparks answered Trevmor, blinking up into the sky. "I remember the others made sure to get far, far away from the lab when we escaped."

"Are you ok Cyra? I'm sorry for that" I said "Its like I said, I like you, I'm sorry"

"Ok Cyra" I said as I started moving again

Sparks flicked an ear in Shay's direction. "Supplies? I dunno...I mean, they would kind of weigh us down and all. We might be able to find food and stuff on the way. As long as we're all together, I'll be happy to go anywhere." She paused a moment to look up at Zeira. "You're right!" Sparks exclaimed. "Ooh, we haven't been on a big adventure since we escaped from the lab, have we?" She trotted excitedly after Ziera. "This'll be great! We'll see things we've never seen before! Do you think there'll be other Pokemon?"

"Of course there will!" Darkwing exclaimed. "Now, free hybrids might be a bit rarer, but if we free them, you know what happens next."

"A couple of days?" Trevmor asked. "Well... I hope I get some action along the way."

"Well, lets go then" I said as I kept walking

OoC: Are we allowed to play other Pokemon?

"I'm excited!" Sparks neighed, eyes sparkling. "New territories! New Pokemon!"

"That's what we've been doing!" Sparks replied, poking her nose into the trees and bushes. Scruffy had been wandering by himself a bit ahead, not bothering to look behind himself and check if the others were catching up. Something was bothering the dark fusion, Sparks knew, but she was too busy with her exploration to talk to him. Scruffy was mostly closed-off, anyway.

I walked with Scruffy "Hey, are you ok? You look bothered, if its because of me helping Cyra, I'm sorry, I just hate seeing others upset" I said

((Oh! I was ninja'd ))

Scruffy's head shot up in surprise. "Hmm? Cyra?" He shuffled a paw nervously. "Hey. Sorry I've been so quiet. There's been...a lot on my mind." His ears angled back as he heard Ziera's comment, and he forced a smile.

"Whoa!" Sparks breathed, pausing a moment to stare out of the treeline in wonder. The trees were indeed starting to recede as the land flattened out. Boulders were scattered around, too. If there were Pokemon around, then they'd be easy to find now that the area was more open!

Scruffy's gaze flicked to Austin, then he shrugged. "N...never mind," he told the Glaceon fusion. "I'll talk to you later about it." The sight of the Mudkip that had accompanied them on their journey just made his fur fluff up uncomfortably. He decided to bury his main issue, hide it for now, and think up something else. Would Denim be able to recognize them?
Of course he would. His Aura detection will reveal we're fellow fusions, like him. Scruffy could only hope he was still in the mountains and that this whole trip wasn't a waste of time...

"No Pokemon would be scared of you, Ziera," Sparks told her kindly. "Sure, we may be different, but we aren't mean!" Personally, she was worried about Scruffy, but hopefully they'd be able to convince any Pokemon they met that he was nice, like them.

I looked at Cyra "Did I do something wrong?" I asked

"It's true that we may not be mean spirited," Trevmor stated. "But at the same time we are still intimidating. ...But then again, my claws aren't as big as a real Excadrill's. ..." Just then, Trevmor spotted a bush in the rocks. The bush seemed to have lots of berries on it. "Dang, now that I think of it, I'm kind of hungry. Anyone want to share that bush with me?"

"We'll show them how awesome we are!" Sparks joked. "Besides, how many Pokemon do you know that are afraid of a Blitzle? Hee hee!"
Scruffy turned around to tilt his head at the bush. "It has been a while since we've eaten, you're right," he admitted. "Feel free to take a small break for now, everyone." He gazed up at the trees, seeing some high fruits.
"Here!" Sparks giggled, using her long tail to knock some down. Scruffy gave her a grateful look as he picked one up in his mouth and stalked off to a corner by himself to eat.

"Better than nothing," Darkwing added. She swiped the bush, a couple of berries falling down.

I grabbed a berry and ate it, then I gave Cyra some berries "Here you go" I said

"Uhhh... my stomache feels sour for some reason," Trevmor stated. Unfortunately, they had just stumbled upon an Oren Berry bush, and Oren Berries were mildly poisonous.

"I wonder what that's about" I said before getting a slight stomach ache, I hadn't ate the berry completely, but I took about a third of it "I think these are Oren Berries, it gave my a tummy ache" I said

Sparks backed away from some of the berries that were in the bush. "Poisonous?" She glanced around worriedly, her gaze landing on one of the fruits that she had knocked down from the tree. "I hope these are safe then..." she commented, using her tail to grab some more for the others. She noticed Ziera helping and nodded, grateful that her best friend was getting some for the both of them. "Thanks!"

Scruffy settled onto his side when Cyra arrived. He gave her a small smile, too. "Hello. Hungry?" He passed forward part of the fruit he was eating.

"Okay... I think I'm fine now," Trevmor said, walking over to the tree with the healthy fruit. "Anyone mind throwing me down some? Or do you want me to just punch the tree to knock the food out?"

"Can you grab me a healthy fruit to please?" I asked

"Here you go!" Sparks chirped to Trevmor and Austin, knocking down as many fruits as she could reach for them. As soon as there was a sizable amount, she stepped away from the tree and smiled. "Is that enough?"

Scruffy nodded absently, pawing at the fruit. "Yeah...I'm...sorry," he said at first, looking up with a more clear expression. "I'm really...concerned, about leading you all to Denim. There are so many things that could go wrong but...I think this is our only chance, if the threat of the researchers returning is real. I feel like...I need some guidance." He turned his gaze on her. "And you're the one I trust most."

"Yeah, after those Oren berries, an Oran berry would hit the spot," Trevmor said. "...Sorry about feeding you those Oren berries. I... am not that good at telling good berries from bad ones."

"I didn't eat any anyway, so apology accepted," Darkwing smiled. "At least these berries have one use." She grabbed a berry in her paw and threw it at the tree, knocking down some fruit.

"Its ok Trevmor" I said as I bit into a berry

Sparks dipped her head down, keeping herself steady as Ziera landed, and nibbled at the grass and pieces of fruit.

Scruffy returned her smile. "You're probably right." Perhaps the Lucario fusion would find their auras and come to them, sending his fellow fusions. "Thanks, Cyra. That means a lot to me." He flicked his feathery tail as he thought. Was that it? He did have other concerns but they were more personal.
He decided to give in. Hoarding his problems to himself would only stress him out more. "It's about..." he lowered his voice. "Austin. I don't like how he stalks and flirts with you like that."

"Huh? I don't notice anything weird about him," Trevmor said. "...Wait, am I not part of this conversation?"
