Claris Town

Xatu looked back and sighed. "Well you've heard no use everyones gonna know soon enough. Okay you know the dark lord, well his army is going to attempt to take over Claris town then the rest of the planet. And if we don't take him down the world has no hope whatsoever. " does that make sense to you? " he asked hopefully as he probably sounded like a crazy person.

"Hey you try and hold a two minute conversation with her and see if you don't end up punching her in the face," Riolu snapped. Honour and codes were all very well but Riolu didn't care about any of that. Besides anger was a powerful emotion, Primeape was an idiot if he thought anger was pointless. They carried Xatu back to the dojo, Riolu's uncles were no where to be seen.
"Here lie him down on the matress." Riolu quickly ran to the tap and wetted a towel before running back and applying it to Xatu's forehead.
"Something's up. And I think Xatu is the one with the answers. My aura is going crazy with bad energy." It was like an itch that started at the back of his neck and as time went by it was spreading all across Riolu's body. The only problem was he had no idea what was causing it.

Riolu
Riolu nodded understandably as Abner explained about the Blaziken he fought.
"Sounds tough. That's pretty impressive that you won," he said gruffly. "I'm not looking forward to that part of evolving. If I ever become a Lucario that means I'll be weak against fire types and that won't be fun." Riolu longed for the day that he could evolve even if it did mean being weak against fire types. His uncles kept telling him to enjoy his time as a basic type but Riolu was too keen on growing up and getting stronger.
Lucario glanced at the clock, "Where the hell is Kirlia with that revive," he growled.

Plusle & Minun
Plusle nodded as Peo explained they were safe. She felt reassured after that and went to finish her pie. Minun had finished his huge piece of pie and dropped the dish in the sink just as he was about to start washing it he noticed a commotion outside the window. Something was going on at the dojo and several familiar pokepeople were standing outside.
"Hey guys!" said Minun excitedly. "There's something going on outside we should check it out!"
"Minun we're trying to enjoy some pie! Some of us like to savour the flavour of our food," said Plusle, a slight tinge of annoyance to her voice. Minun hung his head dejectedly and stared down at the floor. He shuffled over to Peo and brought up his head unleashing his move charm. It was a useful move that Minun had practiced to perfection when he used it at the same time as Plusle there was no-one who could resist. Though even on his own the Minun's move was pretty potent. His eyes were huge and shining on the brink of tears. His mouth was quivering as though he might break down at any second. Little hearts and flowers appeared out of nowhere and shimmered in the air around his head.
"Peo can we go and see what's going on please!" said Minun as sadly and cutely as humanly possible. Pusle rolled her eyes, she'd be very surprised if Peo managed to resist Minun's charm. It worked on practically everyone except for Plusle of course.

Plusle & Minun and Kirlia
Plusle laughed, she was very impressed at Peo. The women were always the first to crumble but Peo was made of sterner stuff. Minun looked a bit annoyed and sulked in the doorway of the kitchen as he waited for everyone to finish. As soon as he was done he scurried out the door and headed to the dojo.
"Wait for me Minun!" Plusle yelled. By the time she caught up he was talking to Kirlia, Zubat and Goldeen. He seemed to pay specific attention to Goldeen.
Haha he's got a crush! Plusle thought.
"What's going on?" Minun asked excitedly sparks flying from his fur. Kirlia frowned down at him. She wasn't keen on little children, they were unpredictable, erratic and unhumanly cheerful. The problem was she couldn't bully them like she could people her own age or older, that'd just be wrong.
"Something about an evil army or something," she said with barely concealed disdain. "We're going to see Xatu he's got all the know how apparently."
Plusle and Minun chimed in together, "We want to come too!" Kirlia grimaced, children who spoke in unison were creepy.
"Sure come on whatever, I don't really care either way," she mumbed.

Peony watched the smoke with narrowed eyes. Her hard work would be for naught because of this army. It was personal now. Azucena noticed this and laid an hand on her shoulder, squeezing it. Peony wrapped her wings around the twins carefully as the Riolu cussed up a storm, but she had to agree. It was her town, her home. Peony's hands became fists, her nails cutting into the skin.

"Mr. Xatu. I think you choose what we do next,"

Peony looked at Plusle. She was so smart at times. "Agreed." Azucena and Giglio both nodded. "If it'll save this town, our weapons are at your command." she said, gripping the hilt of her sword. Both her brothers played with their own.
