It was peaceful in the PC, as the holographic sun started to rise, and the pokemon inhabiting it began to awake. The first of which, as always, was Chatter. Who woke up the second the sun became visible. So he leaped from his perch in the tree house of the Meeting Place, and started to fly around surveying the boxes, and seeing the pokemon wake up. Some slept in trees, some slept in holes they dug, and some of more civilized pokemon had small houses. No matter where they stayed, most of the pokemon in the box, were happy. As he flew around the far side of the Beach Box, he expected to see the Box Leader emerge from the humble house he owned, but to his annoyance, the golduck instead arose from the water surrounding the island his house was on. "I can't believe he fell asleep under water again," Chatter said, annoyed. "I swear the only reason he has any respect is because he's the trainer's first pokemon's son.
Down where the golduck known as Sven now was, a small oshawott exited from Sven's home. "Good morning Felix," Sven said."How are you today?"
"I'm fine," he replied. "Is anything exiting going to happen today?"
"Well I have a meeting with the other Leaders, but other after that we can pretty much do whatever we want." Satisfied with the way the day was sure to go, he began on his way to the Meeting Place, saying hello to all the pokemon who he saw. Once at the Meeting Place, he went up to the top and pressed a button, which scanned him, turned green, and he was transported to the Sky Pavillion. Seeing as he was the first one there again, he sat down, and waited for the others.

Yuki padded out of her majestic house, made of crystals and ice. It reflected the holographic sun, moon, and stars, giving it a wondrous appearance no matter what time of day it was. The Iceberg Box was cold, and bitterly cold winds were perfect for the Ice-Types who resided there. Yuki, as their leader, would often make a quick check of her fellow Ice-Types, as well as a roundup of the Water types who would call the Iceberg Box their home. As usual, everyone was present. Yuki began to make her way to the Meeting Place, every so often speeding up to make sure she wasn't late. Finally, once she had made it, she repeated the ritual that had been for a while, pressing a button, which scanned her and then quickly 'teleported' her to the Sky Pavillion. Yuki made her way in and sat down.
Kip darted outside a small hole he had made in the sand in the Beach Box, looking at the 'sun'. He watched as a Golduck, which happened to be the leader of the Beach Box himself, went to the Meeting Place, sacred to Box Leaders. Sooo coool! he thought to himself, wishing he could tag along and find something fun to do.
 
Serene slowly flapped her wings in the morning breeze, while she were still laying on her stomach by the grass, as she was waiting for the "sun" to rise up to pleasantly start warming up her wings. However her lazy morning was cut short as she felt a harsh weight pouncing on her back, a thud being heard immediately after not far away as the weight on her back would have disappeared just as swiftly and abruptly as it had arrived. With a swift flap of her wings she rose into air, confusedly she looked around while hovering dozen of feets above ground. "Was she just pounced upon by something? Was it an invitation to tag, a swift wake up call, or did she dream of it?" were her first thoughts. Either way the pokémons who had normally woken up early, were already doing their own hobbies or morning activities and there were no signs of the culprits who might have jumped on her, either by accident or not. With a amused shake of her head, she ignored the hole detail. After all as the leader of the box would be absent, someone would need to be available so better wake up early, as there's always someone needing help with something.
 
An Aron slowly aroused from his long slumber, as he felt the warmth from a neighboring hot spring that greeted him with a strong sense of compassion. He emitted off a babyish yawn towards the entrance of the rocky cave he was in, as the area seemed to be secluded of any other known Pokémon. He glanced above at the modest, tanish stalacites that slowly dripped off miniscule droplets of its saline liquids onto the smooth, slender, light gray stalagmites that grew at an unhurried pace. He quietly stood up on all fours, as he slowly walked over to the hot spring that gradually steamed off with contentment and warm, airy gratification. His body shook the moment when he heard a voice calling out to him, as the voice said in a feminine tone, "Well hello there baby... I'm not sure if you should be alone like that, you look awfully young to me."

The Aron was silent towards the mysterious voice that called out to him, as there was a slight movement that steadily approached him. His sweaty arms twitched about from the noticeable fluttering that was gaining on him, as he quickly scurried over to the hot spring; hoping that the mysterious figure would stop pursing him.

The Pokémon said to him while flying right in front of him, "Come on now, I know that you might young, but surely you could say a few words at least right? Or... is it to where you are so shy to the point where it's hard to communicate out to me?" The Aron was speechless with amassed anxiety to the Pokémon that continued to express her concerns towards him. He attempted to take a few, small steps away from the Pokémon, as the Pokémon took one big step towards him with her dark, black feet. She did not seem to notice that her huge size intimidated the little Aron, as she slowly placed her right, metallic wing on him in hopes of calming him from his abundant preturbation.

The Aron emitted off an infantile cry towards the Pokémon, as the Pokémon said to him in a gentle tone, "Hey hey, calm down there... you look like a little baby that might need some help here. It's okay if you're scared, I understand if you haven't really seen others like me around here... though you've been alone for quite some time here while I walked past you when you were asleep. Want to go over to that hot spring there? We could both talk more while we're relaxing." The Aron nodded in response to the Pokémon's question, as she carefully escorted him to the hot spring as if she was protecting a king from any hostile Pokémon that could be within the area.

She went into the warm, steaming pool of water that calmly relaxed on some granite, as it cleanly and happily steamed off around them; the steamy air made a miniscule mist that could be easily dispersed with a deep exhale. She was careful with the young-looking Aron, as she made sure that his body was on the shallow edge of the cozy pool. She calmly patted his head, as she hoped that he would respond back to her content message that questioned him with more intimidation than ever.
 
Felix sat there on the island, bored, waiting for Sven to get back. He was hoping it wouldn't take long but the leaders weren't even all there yet. So he decided he should do something to pass the time. He ran to the meeting place, greeting his friends along the way, and once he got there, he looked around at the doors leading to the other boxes.
"I don't suppose you're looking to make trouble, are you?" someone said to him. He looked up, and saw that Chatter was perched on a branch in the tree house.
"No sir, I'm just looking for something to pass the time," Felix replied. Chatter nodded and flew away, probably to go question someone else. Looking around again, Felix decided to go to the hot springs of the cavern zone, and walked over to the door leading to it. He looked at the cave. It used to scare him when he was younger, but over time he had grown to like the tunnels. So he ran in, and headed toward his destination.
 
As soon as Fluffy woke up, he did a quick check around the box, and made sure that the cherry trees were in the correct position, then made sure that his fur looked good. Before he went to the pavilion, a curious mareep with a blinding tail approached him and asked him this.
"Sorry to bother you sir, but I have some news from the Meadow Box," Vidyut said, "My friend fell into the river and he doesn't know how to swim!"
"I won't be able to help you, but I know someone who would," Fluffy replied,"Go to the Beach Box and talk to Sven, he's a great swimmer and can help your friend in no time."
"Thank you so much!"
"Hurry, there is no time to waste!"
Then Vidyut ran as fast as his legs could carry him to the Beach Box to tell Sven and Fluffy went to the Sky Pavilion for the meeting.
 
As Violet woke up in her house, she looked around, and slightly frowned, It seemed old, like an abandoned house. She thought for a moment, and decided to clean it later. She put on her favorite flower-print apron and got ready to start cooking. As she headed to the fridge, she noticed a note written in big red letters on the current date stating that there was a meeting today with the other box leaders. Violet began to panic, she forgot all about the meeting! She scrambled to make cupcakes in time, when they were finally finished she decided to let them cool for a few minutes. She then carefully wrapped them in tin foil and left some out on the old picnic table in case anyone wanted some. She than began towards the Meeting Place. Of course, Violet didn't need to make any treats for the meeting, she just liked to. Once at the Meeting Place, Violet noticed she still had her apron on, she didn't mind, this happened often. She then pressed a button, and appeared in the Sky Pavilion.
 
Sven looked around and saw that everyone was now here. He was glad he didn't have to wait anymore since he was starting to question if everyone remembered. Seeing as Violet had brought cupcakes, he decided to take one, since he hadn't eaten yet. "Alright," he said to everyone. He was usually the one to start these. "It has come to my attention that we've been recieving many questions about the dark forest. Some pokemon want to know things about it. What it is, where it came from, why it's here, etc. But as we all know, it's most likely dangerous due to it being unfinished, but I have heard talk about pokemon wanting to venture into it, so it's probably about time we do something about it. Does anyone have any ideas."
 
As Primrose sat atop the flower. She pondered about the dark forest, The area that Pokémon have disappeared into. She wondered what was past the shady trees and endlessness of the forest, if anything. After a moment more of thinking, Primrose decided to explore the boxes. She knew that by then, she had seen basically every part of the boxes, not including the Sky Pavilion and Magma Box (she doesn't like the heat and fire.) She didn't mind though, she liked seeing the interesting views and Pokémon interact with each other. She decided to take one of the nice looking cupcakes with her that she found in the Haunted box. When she neared the Meadow box, she saw the dark forest from afar. Primrose contemplated entering the foreboding forest, but decided that it would be to risky. She thought to herself "It wouldn't hurt to take a look inside without entering, right?" and headed towards the forest.
 
Damin was standing at the entrance when he saw primrose walking closer he waved shyly "uh h-hi th-there" he said smiling "I d-don't th-think we've me-met?" He added soon after
 
The Aron continued to stay in the hot springs with the other Pokémon, as the Pokémon said to him in a calming tone, "Well, I suppose that we should both talk here... after all, it's just the both of us. Anyway, I suppose I'll start since you seem a bit reluctant to strike things up. I'm Sally, and I'm a Skarmory here. So what's your name little one?"

The Aron continued to stay as speechless as a neonate, as the Skarmory then asked in concern, "Come on now lil' Aron... no need to be shy when it's just you and me buddy. It's just a teeny and easy question that you just gotta tell me here alright?" The Aron gave off a timorous snivel towards her, as she quietly patted his metallic shell in an attempt to calm his uneased spirit.

She thought to herself while quietly scratching her head with her left wing, "Huh... why is the little baby so silent? Is it because he's too scared to speak... or is it that he can't even talk at all? If it's the second one, then well at the very least he can understand me. Maybe I'll take care of the baby now since he seems rather lonely and he can't be alone like that for his age! Man, he's been crying for days on end and he's still crying here..."
 
Primrose was shocked to see somebody else near the dark forest and wondered what they were doing there, did they want to explore the forest too? She then noticed she had been staring off into space for a little while and responded saying "Uh, yeah, hi, um, I don't think we have. So uh, w-what's your name? I'm Primrose"

Serene was flapping her wings in the air once more, as she had moved towards the dark forest, one of the meadow's Raticates were gnawing and biting on a large tree, as he's were using it as a file to shorten his ever growing fangs, sadly with a poor success. The three was bitten almost to half way, before it gave out a sickening, loud, and far reaching crack, Serene herself flinching to the noise while said Raticate hurried away from the tree, the tree itself starting to slowly fall deeper into the forest, with yet another loud voice was heard as it crashed into soil. After a moment of thought, she'd have noticed that the Raticate was staring at her, saying with harsh voice: "Well that didn't help the slightest. The tree gave in way too soon." Serene gave a swift glance to the tree while lowering herself back on the ground, as she stood on her legs once more, which is rather uncommon of her kin to do. She replied with a kind yet wondering tone. "Well staying near the dark forest would raise questions from everyone anyways, not to mention it's temptations, so how about I'd ask one of the pokémon from cavern box to bring you a proper boulder?" While focused on the task Serene wouldn't have noticed anyone else wandering around the entrance to the forest, leaving their presence a mystery for her.
 
When Felix got to the hot springs, he saw that it was already occupied. Disappointing he ran out of the tunnels and decided to go somewhere else. After looking around, he decided that this was the perfect time to train. So he ran into the Meadow Box so that he could challenge himself by swimming up the river. Once he got to it though, he saw that a pokemon was in the river, and it seemed like they couldn't swim. Doing the only thing he could think to do, he jumped in, and brought the pokemon to shore. After making sure they where alright, he saw that there were some pokemon looking into the Dark Forest. Sven had told him how it was most likely a dangerous mess in there and that though no one has ever gone in, you never should. So he ran in between them and the Dark Forest. "What are you doing?" he asked.
 
Steel was slamming his claws into a tree, as was his routine every day. Switched out for a Tyranitar?! How dare yo- He was cut off by his fist rending itself through the tree and out the other side. Steel wrenched his hand from the tree, the scraping noise of metal against wood following it. His wings beat slowly, buzzing filling the air around him as he shook the minuscule wood fragments off his large claw. The silent Scizor looked around and only saw a Butterfree and a Raticate. He grunted and moved on, his metallic footsteps echoing through the forest.
 
Kip ran around the Beach Box for a bit before getting tired and plopping right onto the floor, his scarf loosely dangling around his neck. Rushing back onto his feet after a few seconds of quick rest, Kip got up and looked around. "Perfect day to explore!" he said out loud, certainly hoping someone would hear him. He adjusted his scarf before getting up to leave the Beach Box and explore.
 
From the entrance of the Cavern Box walked an oddly-colored Mawile, a paw repositioning the goggles on her forehead into a more comfortable place. She was on her merry way to the Sky Pavilion, where yet another meeting of all the Boxes' Leaders was about to take place. Heading over to the scanner, Araminta brought her paw back down to her side, eyes closed as the usual bright red light hit her face. Once it turned green, the Fairy/Steel-type momentarily lost her train of thought as she was teleported to the Pavilion, opening her brown eyes once the transportation was completed and her mind returned to her. Quickly, she moved out of the way of anyone else who might have begun teleporting, nodding her head politely at the Leaders that were already there. "Terribly sorry I'm late, everyone," Mint apologized, walking over to the others. "There was a minor slip-up with one of my projects. That's all sorted out now, though!" Almost instantly, she noticed the cupcakes that had been brought, but she resisted the urge to take one fairly easily. "What might we be talking about this time around, hm?"
 
Sven saw that Mint was now here and realized that he forgot about her. Embarrassed, he decided to explain to her what the meeting was about. "It's fine," Sven said. "It happens to all of us. We were discussing what to do about the fact that many pokemon have been wanting to explore the Dark Forest, but as we know, that is very dangerous, so we are trying to find a solution."

"Ah, yes," Mint replied, standing next to Aiden, "a fine matter to discuss. This is a growing problem, isn't it? It is true that we need a solution to it..." The Mawile thought for a moment, a paw held to her chin, before throwing both of her paws behind her back, face lighting up fairly significantly. "What if we could find a way to bar it off, so nobody would be able to get in? I'm sure I could make something that would work! It would have to be some sort of force field that surrounds the entirety of the forest... If I could find the correct parts and some assistance in powering the machine, preferably from a Psychic-type, it could be done in, say, a week or so..." By this time, Araminta was basically just talking to herself, but she didn't stop to remember the others until she decided on a simpler solution, one she was unsure would work or not. "Or we could simply close off the entrance to the forest, couldn't we? Do you think the trees are thick enough to keep Bug and Flying-types out?" Turning her head to look at Aiden, Mint adjusted her goggles yet again, out of habit. "Or is there something else you have in mind?"
 
Yuki nodded. "Your tree idea could work," she paused for a moment before continuing. "Though, Flying and Bug types would be hard to keep out. As well as Pokémon who could just use Dig to head right down." even though Mint had dismissed her previous idea, Yuki decided to mention it. "Even though your first idea was long and unnecessarily complicated," Yuki said as she focused her cold eyes on the other Leaders in the room, her tails swaying majestically, "It could be used as a last resort. We'd also need to find a way to keep Ghost Types from passing through the barrier, if we truly must resort to that."
 
Aiden thought about what they had said. Though their suggestions were good, they didn't just need to close it off, they needed to keep all pokemon out of it at all costs. After thinking for a while, he got an idea. "What if we completely deleted it?" he asked. "Since everything in the box is programmer, there should be a way to erase the Dark Forest. They say there's a place somewhere where you can alter the code, but it's hidden very well so it's power is not abused. But if it's real, and we find it, we can make sure the Dark Forest is gone, forever."

After the Aron and Skarmory had some time in the hot springs with just the both of them together, the Skarmory quietly got out of the warm pool of water while carefully holding the Aron with her metallic wings. She said to the Aron while she gently placed him down next to her after getting out of the cozy pool, "Hmm, you're quiet, and you look really tired now. Want to come over to my little place and rest?" The Aron quietly yawned and nodded at the Skarmory, as she smiled and carried him over to her little home.

Meanwhile, Joel was inside a peculiar temple that had a calming sensation to his arousing eyes. He attempted to take in some deep breaths to calm himself, as he heard some approaching footsteps that came to him with haste. He turned around and saw a Gible that had a devious grin, as the Gible said in a ridiculing tone that was filled with significant mockery, "Oh look who's here, a little baby that's trying to stop crying! Oh wah, wah! I want my mommy because I can't even control myself!"

Joel loudly smacked his scales, as he said to the Gible with rancorous hostility, "Tch... don't you have anything better to do than to just ridicule me like the arrogant shit you are?"

The Gible heartily laughed and replied, "Hah, you're just a little kid. What could you possibly do to me, while I can just wipe you out with a little ball!" The Gible swiftly launched a purplish ball of draconic energy at Joel, as Joel gave an evil smile to him.

The Gible gasped when he saw Joel eluding the ball at an almost invisible speed, as he said to him in shock, "W- wha?! What did you... oh I know! You probably watched too much of those movies or something!"

Joel snickered and hastily approached towards him at a hypersonic velocity, as he said to him with noticeable arrogance, "Hmph, you're just a helpless little dragon that tries to look tough... so tell me, why are you wanting to harass me so much? You got one second, or else this will be the last time you'll ever see me you little runt!"

The Gible continued to chuckle at Joel's ranting, as his laughter soon came to a halt when he felt Joel's tail smacking him with a huge force! Joel stared down at the now sobbing Gible with resentment, as he exclaimed while his eyes turned in a shade of scarlet red, "YOU WANT MORE KID? I'LL KEEP BEATNG YOUR DAMN HEAD IN IF YOU WON'T STOP! THEN YOU'LL BE FUCKING SORRY!"

The Gible timorously bawled out to him, "Come on... I'm sorry! Please, come on... this isn't like you! YOU'RE GOING INSANE HERE!"

Joel loudly snickered at the Gible, as he yelled out while the Gible attempted to think of a move to quickly use in his defense, "NOT LIKE ME EH? THIS IS ME IN MY TRUE POWER! YOU SHALL WITNESS WHAT HAPPENS AFTER MESSING WITH ME!"

The Gible attempted to launch another dragon rage at Joel, as he hesitantly launched a smaller, weakened ball of draconic energy with fright. Joel swiftly grasped the energy ball with his paws and firmly pressed against it with intense pressure, as he grunted, "NNNNNGGGHHHH... TAAAAA!" The ball was nothing but a harmless vapor seconds later, as the Gible's face rushed with sweat like a cascading waterfall.

The Gible gulped when he saw what Joel just did, as he thought to himself, "Ahh! I gotta get out of here! This guy's beyond a monster, he's a dang beast here!" He sniveled and bolted away from the beyond infuriating Jangmo-o that glared at him with his bright, blood red eyes. The Jangmo-o gathered in as much energy as he could, as he roared, "GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE FUCKER! I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU THE REAL MEANING OF WHAT PAIN IS LIKE!"
 
(OOC: Please refrain from swearing.)
Chatter saw as the Jangamo-o mercilessly attacked the gible. He new that he wouldn't be able to fight it, and the Leaders were having a meeting, so he'd have to ask a pokemon for help. He wuickly flew around trying to find a strong pokemon that would be willing to help. After looking around in the Granite Box, with no success, he moved on to the Meadow Box and saw a scizor who looked particularly strong, and flew up to him. "Excuse me," he said politely. "I require your assistance. Two pokemon have begun fighting and I'm quite worried one of them will be hurt. It would be extraordinarily helpful if you would cause them to stop."
 
(OOC: Joel will not be using profanity at the roleplay creator's request.)

BIC:

The Gible continued to flee from Joel like a game of cat and mouse, as he was oblivious to the fact that a Chatot had witnessed the fight that went on between them. Joel emitted a thunderous roar that frightened the little Gible, as he said to him while panting, "Come on! Can't you just take it easy for once! You're literally about to explode!"

Joel menacingly exclaimed while his shining red eyes were intensely focused on him, "STOP RUNNING YOU LITTLE COWARD! YOU'RE ONLY DELAYING THE INEVITABLE!"

The Gible hesitantly replied while unleashing yet another ball of weakened energy at Joel, "How about you s- stop s- screaming! And please, come on... I don't wanna end up in that other place with that lady that has that e- egg!" Joel clenched the frail ball of energy with eased effort, as he placed an intense amount of pressure on the feeble ball!

He grunted at the Gible with indignation, "RRRRRRAAAAAUUUUUHHHHHHAAAAA!" A trace amount of steam emitted from the ball that was now an innocous gas. The Gible gasped at Joel in horror, as he impulsively thought to himself while sprinting with rapid steps, "Ack! My attacks aren't working! Is he some kind of unstoppable monster?! No... there's gotta be a way, everyone's got some kind of soft spot right?! Well, I seriously need to run away and find some kind of help before he beats me up! I don't wanna go to that pink lady with that pouch thingy with the egg while everyone laughs at me!"

The Gible continued to scamper away from the raging Jangmo-o that was steadily gaining on him, as he made his way towards the exit of the temple. He continued to snivel towards the Jangmo-o with intense anxiety, as he hoped that there would be at least one Pokémon; small or even big, that could at least quell the Jangmo-o's exasperation even at the slightest.
 
Felix looked over at Chatter who was asking the scizor for help. But he could also help. So he ran past Chatter and headed towards the Granite Box. Unfortunately for him, Chatter saw him running and new Felix wouldn't stand a chance against that raging dragon type, so he flew after him. "Felix, stop," he called, but Felix ignored him and just kept running until he saw the gible running away from the Jangamo-o at the entrance of the granite zone. Suddenly, he heroically jumped between the gible and Joel, and held his shell in front of him as if he were using a shield.
 
Joel saw an Oshawott that jumped between himself and the fleeing Gible, as he furiously yelled out, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? ARE YOU ONE OF THE GIBLE'S ACCOMPLICES OR SOMETHING?! I'D SUGGEST TO STAY OUT OF MY WAY BEFORE YOU'RE GROUNDED TO A PULP!" His blood red eyes fiercely stared down at the Oshawott while his gathering of his malevolent energy was almost finished. His scales briefly blinked a bright, whitish light at the Oshawott, as his scales quivered from his hyper movements.
 
Felix backed up a bit, scared of what Joel was capable of. But he new he couldn't just back down., so he held his ground. "You run," he said to the gible. "I'll hold him off." Then he focused his attention on Joel. "I don't know who that gible is, but you can't just attack someone. You can hurt me all you want, but in the end, I'll still have won for doing the right thing." Unaware of how cheesy that sounded, Felix stared at the Jangamo-o waiting for his responce.
 
The Gible sighed and nervously replied to the Oshawott while his body trembled in amassed terror, "No... I can't run... he's just going to destroy you and then go after me next like no tommorow... I have to do the r- ri- right... t- th- thing..." His body was rather pale in conjunction with his critical health, as he hugged the wooden pillar to maintain his balance.

Joel glanced over at the Gible, as he sighed and said to the Oshawott in a terrorizing, yet childish voice, "Hmph, we'll see how straight that backbone of your's is once I'm done with you!" He smacked the right side of his scales with his right paw in a fit of petulance, as several searing, dark blue balls of mysterious energy started to gradually form around him.
 
Felix started trembling. He didn't know what to do against this obviously more powerful foe. He had a last resort, but Sven said to only use it when truly needed. Sven was at the meeting, but this jangamo-o was clearly not going to back down. At this point, he had no other choice. He lifted his hand up to his neck and press a button on the chip Sven had put there. Suddenly, at the Sky Pavilion, Sven's chip started to glow red. Knowing what this meant, Sven quickly rushed to the button to get back to the Meeting Place, and pressed it. Now in the tree house, he jumped out and saw Felix in front on Joel. Knowing this was what Felix called for, he jumped in between Felix and Joel, the same way Felix had done with the gible, suggesting that Felix had learned it from him.
 
The Gible facepalmed the moment when he saw the Golduck now jumping in between Joel and the Oshawott, as he thought to himself, "Oh great... now there's another one here! This is not going to end well is it? I can't really go up to him since they're both in the way, and they're gonna probably pull me out!" He nervously watched Joel, as he saw his escalating tension that was easily visible from his malevolent, pale black aura that was now starting to emit from his infantile body.

Joel chuckled at the Golduck that jumped in between the Oshawott and himself, as he said to him with vexation after raising his left paw, "Oh, what's this now? Little otter invited you here? I don't think any of you two have a reservation with me, so I'd suggest for you and that blue otter to scram right this instant or else you'll both face my wrath!" The bluish balls started to orbit around him in an escalating velocity, as he still kept his left paw up. The ring of energy balls created an intense heating gradient around him, as his emblazing eyes fiercely stared down at the Golduck.
 
Steel heard a Chatot call to him. He looked over, a blank expression his face. Although Steel didn't like to interact with others, he wanted to help, so he nodded and bolted toward the Granite Box. He saw a little Jangmo-o screaming at the top of his lungs, and looked as if he was about to attack a Golduck that was also at the scene. Steel narrowed his eyes and in a second appeared behind the furious Pokemon. He took the little Pokemon in his claws and pinned it to the ground. Although Steel spoke no words, he was clearly giving the command for the Jangmo-o to cease its actions.
 
Joel felt an unfamiliar grip from behind that suddenly had him held down to the wooden flooring, as he struggled to break free from the Scisor's intimidating claws! His body squirmed in a rattlesnake's motion while he attempted to scratch and kick the resilient claws with a feeble effort. His anger soon turned into terror the moment when he saw his orbiting balls of energy disperse in the air as a gentle gas. Sweat started to rush from his head, as he said in a tentative manner, "Umm... uhh... what are y- you d- doing here... owie... this h- hu- hurts... a l- lo- lot..."

He panted from the sudden, extreme exhaustion that was now starting to get the better of him. He could not seem to breathe as easily since he was being pinned down by the Scizor. The Gible attempted to toddle over towards the Jangmo-o, while he noticed that he was struggling to break himself out of the Scizor's almost unbeatable grip. He thought to himself while he panted, "Oh this isn't gonna be good... I think it's best if I get this over with as soon as possible... for the good of me and especially him..."
 
Steel remained silent as the Jangmo-o squirmed feebly in his iron grip. His expression remained blank, and looked over to a Gible that was saying something about "Getting it over with." Steel shook his head to this, clenched his claw around the Jangmo-o, still enough so that he could not move, and looked up to the Golduck, holding the exhausted Jangmo-o in the air.
 
Sven walked over to Joel and looked down at him. "Do you have any idea who I am?" he asked. "I am the Box Leader of the Beach Box, one of the strongest pokemon in the PC, and I'm the son of the trainer's first pokemon. So why, might I ask, would you threaten to attack my closest friend, when I could literally push a button and I'd be here." Sven had always been good at intimidation. His father had always told him that half of the fight is what they think of you. He had followed those words his whole life and had never lost a battle. Of course, he didn't battle very often, and never even saw another trainers pokemon, but he was still proud of it.
 
Joel was speechless in his reply towards to the Golduck that spoke with him, as he thought to himself while putting his left paw on his chest, "Ngh... I never thought I'd have to ever come to my last resort, but here I am, with this big insect guy holding me up like a doll. I suppose now it's time for me to disobey my promise... I'm sorry father."

He gave off a quiet, discreet cough, as he faintly said to himself, "Ke kanana nei i loko o koʻu naʻau..." He coughed again with significant fatigue, as he faintly said again in a voice that was barely perceivable to all of the nearby Pokémon, "Kōkua... iaʻu..."
 
Yuki watched as Sven dared to simply abandon the meeting. Surely he has some important matters to attend to. "We shall continue discussing our plans once Sven returns."

Kip had dashed into the scene once all the drama had stopped. He tilted his head as he looked down, up, left, right, well, all around. That's a Jangmo-o... an Oshawott... a Gible.. Kip then spotted Sven and his eyes lit up. Wow!! I can't believe I ran all the way here, and Sven is here! Kip barely knew what was going on, and what Joel was saying in some odd tongue, thinking he was just playing some sort of game.
 
Excalibur wakes up and is greeted by the moon instead of the sun once again. He forces himself to float off the ground and face the night- like day in the Haunted box. The mansion in which he lived in was cold and uninviting, a norm for ghost types. Pokemon such as Gastly and Drifloon were floating around quite early for some reason. Excalibur shrugs it off, and floats off to do sharpen and clean his blade and shield. He floats towards a suitable looking rock and sighs as a mundane day carries on.

Polaris pants heavily at low health after sparring with an Abomasnow. The two agree that it was a draw, and shake hands. The Abomasnow is so huge in comparison to him that it lifts him off the ice and shakes him up and down. Polaris gets annoyed, as this happens frequently with the opponents he faces. He walks away, with a ticked-off look even though no one can see it. He jumps into the cold, iceberg-filled water and looks at the bridge leading to the Beach box, longing for change.
 
Joel's eyes squinted from his enervation, as his tail drooped towards the ground. After a brief half minute, his chest began to glimmer in a pale, pinkish light, as he continued his unusual speech that was barely audible. He said in an infantile voice that was fainter than that of even the outside, computerized breezes, "E hōʻike mai iaʻu i kou mana oiaio... Au hiki ole ke hoʻolimalima hale, e haawi aku i..."

After some seconds of attempting to hang onto his consciousness, the light gradually became brighter, as he gave off a rather violent cough from the Scizor's harsh grip. His chest was rather warm to the touch, as he quietly uttered out in desperation, "Hui pu ia lakou... ʻoe ʻoe me aʻu, Kardía. Ma ka inoa o ke akua, kokua mai iaʻu i kou... m-mana..."
 
Josh looked out the window. 'I may never get used to that.' he thought as he gazed at the moon. 'Why on Earth did I manage to get up this early anyways? Oh well, might as well do something.' Josh sighed, then headed outside. 'Might as well take a walk while I'm at it, since I'm up anyways.'
