The Eerie Woods were unusually warm that day, the sun perhaps making a valiant effort to shine through the thick tree cover. As if in response to the warmth, the entire area thrummed with a sort of unusual activity, the buzz of which could be heard even in this seemingly empty dungeon room the pair had landed in.

Empty, of course, but for the beautiful red and shiny apple glistening at the edge of the room. And, of course, the two exits, both of which were partially obstructed by fog and vines.

After going into the dark corner of Kanga's room, Kolt grabbed the job off the wall and slid out. As usual, he left his sludge trail behind him no matter where he went once he made it back to Olympia he showed her the job and lead her to the Eerie woods.

The eerie woods were the perfect place for Kolt he loved being in the woods as they were dark and there were no goodie civilians in the way. He could attack whoever he wanted and take anything he found on the ground, one of the reasons why he enjoyed going into dungeons. Maybe if they found some goody goody explorer they could have some fun, but at the moment his mind was on just getting this job done so they can get their reward.

Sliding forward he noticed an item out the corner of his eye, sliding up to it he found that it was a large apple. If he was alone he would have taken it and put it into his sludge but since he was with Olympia he was sure she wouldn't want to eat anything he touched, he didn't blame her as he would only do that to his enemies and right now they were allies.

"I say we go east Lovely." Looking at her he signalled towards the path that went east and started on it, leaving the apple on the ground for her to pick up.

It was unusually warm for a place such as this; usually, the Eerie Forest was a cold, dank place with a smell of musk wherever you went, but today the sun beat down and warmed every leaf, every blade of grass, and the both of them as they stepped into the dungeon. The cat relished in the feel of damp, dew-ridden grass crunching beneath her paws, and despite the warmth, the forest still held the odd sense of creepiness. Shadows still crept up the rotting trees, the flora drooped as if they were mourning the dead at a funeral, and despite the buzz of activity, it seemed as though you couldn't even hear a tree fall if you were right next to it. It had always seemed to be a good area for ambush, but the Skitty hadn't gotten the time out of her busy schedule to visit recently.

Letting out of a sigh, she turned to glance at Kolt. For some reason, Olympia felt as if she had been conned into the whole thing, her greed used against her to wrangle herself into a position where she had to rely on someone else and they had to rely on her. While secretly she was a bit happy that she actually had a partner of sorts after a few years of not having any friends in general, she knew trust was a dangerous thing and was wary to put any faith in this Grimer, even if he had saved her from the authorities. Eyeing him from her peripherals, she finally settled her attention on the rest of the room.

Her eyes caught the red gleam of an apple beneath the sun, likely having tumbled from a drooping tree beside it. Trotting forward, she held the crimson fruit between her paws, inspecting it's shiny surface with a specific eye. It was slightly bruised and a bit dirty, but she would take it. Hey, at least Kolt didn't take it. Shaking out her fur, Olympia swiftly pocketed the fruit in a small bag she had wrapped around her, the straps slightly too large for her small, petite stature. Frowning, she looked to Kolt. "Alright, let's go somewhere." she stated firmly, looking from both exits to Kolt.

While she disliked really working in a team, she supposed she would have to go along with the mechanic as long as she wanted to keep the coins she had stolen a day before. "Alright, east it is. Let's go." she responded curtly, seeming like she was in a rush, when really, she was a rather fast-paced person. Feet curling into the earth, the skitty walked down the path with her tail held high, eyes watching ahead carefully.

The droning hum only seemed to increase in volume as the pair continued through the forest. The trees grew ever thick around them, and the air was thick with some sort of metallic smell that almost seemed to mask the rotting stench of dead things and battles past. As the path continued onwards and then turned south, even the layer of mulch on the ground grew thicker, so sodden that the leaves almost squelched underneath Olympia's paws. Kolt's slime almost seemed a part of the place.

When the path finally opened once again into a clearing, the area was just as empty as the corridor before it. But beyond, by the room's only opening, the hum seemed to grow on, louder than ever. And with it, an ominous feeling, a sense of dread...

Kolt walked down the path, looking out for any sudden surprises, inhaling all the beautiful putrid scents of the forest Kolt couldn't help but let out a moan."Doesn't this just smell beautiful milady?" He spoke patronizingly to Olympia as he leaned close to her, the scent of mulch and mud and dirt everywhere along with the scent of places where blood was spilled.

Though the scenery and everything was beautiful to the Grimer he still was annoyed that they hadn't yet run into anyone, "shall we continue up this path?" He spoke softly, his voice reverberating throughout the small area, as if it was bouncing off the trees themselves he felt so at home here, but he knew that other Pokemon called this place home and they weren't as kind as he was.

The Skitty padded through the thickening underbrush, her nose slowly wrinkling in disgust as she walked further through the pathway, filled with squelching mud and mulch. The area was filled with a metallic scent that reminded her swiftly of blood, a sharp contrast from the musk of a usual forest. The forest buzzed with a malevolent energy, an aura that made her skin prickle and the hairs on the back of her neck stand erect. Already she didn't like the forest, and as she came into the next room with only one exit, she found herself wanting to go back. She convinced herself that it wasn't because of cowardice, but rather because of wariness and wisdom. It isn't bravery if it's stupid, she told herself as she looked to the speckled light that fell across the pathway before the two of them.

Olympia let out a frustrated sigh as she lifted a cream colored paw from the ground, cringing as she heard the mulch squelch as she receded her paw from it's depths. She shook off any liquid residue in distaste, looking around and finding that she could bare,y notice the purple slime of her partner through the disgusting ground that they were now walking on. The Skitty let a scowl decorate her face as Kolt leaned into her, staring at him with a defiant gleam in her fiery optics. "Actually, it sort of smells like you, but ten times worse." she responded scornfully, before letting her shoulders drop and letting her head hang in frustration.

"Okay, whatever," she started, lifting her head once more to stare at Kolt with a neutral expression. "Let's go. There's only one exit, after all." with that, Olympia begrudgingly padded through the mud and gulch, a thorough expression of digest and distaste decorating her features as she tried to side-step the worse parts of the ground.

The path opened up again nearly seconds after the pokemon had stepped on this, this time opening to an impossibly long clearing. Such an opening was huge for these woods: one could even seen the sky through the parting of the tree cover. The ground was a bubbling mess however, of ooze and gook and other gross things. However, there was light at the end of every tunel, for at the end of the room...stairs! Not only that, but there were a few other exits as well, should the pokemon decide to stay on this level. There was even the glimmer of something shiny on the ground, though neither pokemon could make out what it was from this distance.

By now the hum had almost turned into a roar, the buzzing from somewhere above them, nearly unbearable...

Ready to go and prove himself once again to Olympia that he wasn't just a pretty face, Kolt rushed up the path and into the next room. Where were the enemies? The Pokemon who only wanted to fight? Where was the bloodshed? Kolt sniffed the air the second he entered the room and as it lit up, the noise that surrounded them growing louder and louder, the smile on the sludge Pokemon's face grew as he turned back to Olympia and pointed ahead of them at the bountiful items.

Sliding forward he looked at the three items on the ground, taking the Black Gummi and putting it into his stomach as if his stomach was some sort of endless bag. He turned to Olympia and smirked, "The other two are yours. I really have no use for them." He turned around and looked at the stairs, "After you."

Olympia padded up to the long, massive clearing with a look of disgust flaring in her wide eyes. The ground was made of mud and mulch, it oozed and fizzed in a way that made her want to vomit the contents of her stomach. Curling her lip, the Skitty flattened her ears against her skull and pressed on, although seemed to try avoid looking down at the ground beneath her. "Are dungeons always this disgusting?" she muttered beneath her breath, half to herself and half to her companion. Stepping through the mess, Olympia's eyes rose to spot the stairs, and the soft gleam of things half-way buried in the mud beside it.

While the cat managed to remain somewhat glad of the stairs, she paused as she noticed the items scattered in the mulch, despite Kolt moving forwards to grab one of them. He looked as if his slime melted into the similarly gross ground, an addition that looked like he belonged there. Perhaps he would feel at home and without caution, but, in comparison, she could not. Not only was she getting annoyed by the nearly completely liquid floor underfoot, but the loud buzzing overhead left a pit in her stomach. It was as if the items were bait, but, perhaps she was being too cautious? Or, maybe, Kolt was just being stupid?

Definitely the latter, she decided.

"Kolt, if these items cause us trouble, I'm blaming it on you." she stated, padding forwards with her long tail swaying uncertainly above the floor. Paws sinking into the ground, she eventually unearthed both the seed and orb, cleaning them off with her paw with a wrinkled nose before depositing them in her bag. Swiftly, she turned and stepped a paw on the stairs, leaving muddy pawprints in her wake. She seemed determined to ignore Kolt's chivalry.

Important! Please listen to this before reading this post!

Picking up the black gummi? As if they could get that far. Kolt and Olympia had crossed about halfway into the room when the roar became unbearable, swelling until it began to sound like... laughter?

Landing in front of Kolt, nearly on top of him, came a Sableye, screeching with laughter. Next to it landed a Misdreavus...and then another pokemon...and another...and another.

Soon, there were five pokemon surrounding the pair, including a grass type that stood between Olympia and the way they had come. All screaming with laughter as they advanced in towards their victims...

Stepping into the wide open area, Kolt didn't think anything of it, the noises that surrounded them were probably just far off echo's but the further they walked in the more he began to realize what was happening. Turning around he put out his hand to tell Olympia to step back but he was too slow. They had been surrounded, immediately they walked into a trap. Suddenly the feeling he had where he wanted to just get into a fight and destroy everyone in his way vanished and his first instinct was to run. But being surrounded the way they were he would have to leave Olympia alone to do so, Letting out a deep breath as the Pokemon cackled around him, laughing and carrying on wanting to fight them his eyes narrowed.

"Olympia, don't breath this in. POISON GAS!" He opened his mouth wide and spun around as the thing green smog expelled itself from his body, striking all the enemies around him. He just hoped that Olympia heeded his warning fast enough. As the attack struck the enemies, all these ghost types around him he hoped that they were stupid enough for it to take effect on them. "Come on then, Try and get me you weaklings."

Before the Skitty could even reach the items she had planned on taking, cackles broke out around them, maniacal laughter echoing in her ears as Ghost Types dropped all around them. Ears perking, her eyes widened and her first instinct was to run, but as she spun on her heel, she found herself face-to-face with a cackling Sunkern. Naturally, her first reaction was to get angry, her face transforming into an expression of rage, quite unfitting for a Skitty, usually seen as nice and cute all the time. "Ooh, trapping us, huh? So honorable, your mothers must be very proud that you guys just drop down and try to pick off people who go into dungeons!" she mocked them, her claws unfurling into the mulch beneath her. None of her attacks would work on these types, she just had to hope that her companion could do something about these guys. "Why don't you guys just go back to being mindless zombies?"

Breathing heavy from her sudden outburst, Olympia heaved in a shallow breath, before whipping her head around to stare at Kolt. She looked terrifying, her face transformed into one of pure and insatiable rage. Despite her attacks being able to do nothing, she didn't seem like going down without a fight. She watched him as he readied an attack, before breathing in one last gulp of air and then holding her breath. She watched as the poisonous smog surrounded them, spreading into the lungs of those that had the gall to try and trap them.

As the poisonous gas lifted, Olympia let go of her breath, choking for clean air around her. The Skitty turned to the Sunkern, her eyes flickering with a nearly unseen anger, her muscles clenching with indescribable vexation, a fury that didn't seem able to be tamed. "Knock it off!" she growled at the cackling Sunkern, launching herself forward in a furious attack. However, as she neared, she clapped her paws together with such force that it made a current of air, such a one that Olympia only hoped it knocked her enemy backwards.

The icky purplish gas oozed out from Kolt, quickly filling the air with its hideous scent. The cackling of the enemy pokemon soon turned into coughing as pokemon after pokemon inhaled the toxic gas. Only the Duskull managed to resist the toxic gas, still laughing away as it approached.

The Sableye was first to strike. It scratched at Kolt with its claws, pushing the grimer straight into the phantump's tackle. Amongst the sound of Misdreavus's growling, Duskull also made a move, glowin with a deadly purple energy. Only Sunkern did nothing, startled as it was by Olympia's attack.

His poison gas attacked seemed to have worked almost all the Pokemon around him were affected by it, all but one... But still that was at least a good attempt but he didn't have any time to celebrate. Immediately afterwards they started their attacks, standing in front of Olympia for the most part he took the full brunt of the attack, being hit by three sides. He knew that he wouldn't last too long at this rate and the poison was going to take quite a while to take effect enough for the Pokemon to faint.

Putting out his arms to stop them from moving past him to attack Olympia he started to shiny, his skin looking like it almost had an overcoat, "Harden." He said in a serious voice, a voice he probably hadn't used yet with Olympia but a voice that told her that he was doing everything he could right now. Hopefully the Pokemon would try and attack him again now with his increased defense. "Got a plan darling?"

Olympia watched with a terrifying expression, staring daggers and knives at all of the Pokemon who had encircled them, a cruel bunch she had no qualms with eliminating. Her brows were knitted and her features were filled with animosity, her senses filled with the stench of rotting flora and her petite paws sinking into the gross mulch underfoot. In general, the Skitty was not having a good time, and the fact that these things had the gall to even face them made everything all the worse. Her venomous eyes shifted to Kolt, witnessing her companion taking most of the blow for her. She wondered why, why he would even think of helping her, but she had little time to ponder this curiosity.

She looked over to the Duskull, the only one that didn't seem to be affected by the Poisonous Gas that had been emitted from Kolt. A frightening visage pulled up directly in front of her features, yet, the Skitty seemed to be completely unfazed; maybe even more mad...? "Oooh, trying to scare me, huh? Aww, how cute!" she hissed, her voice sickly sweet, yet full of a mocking tone that she had been using her whole life. She seemed incredibly interested in berating her enemies, she nearly forgot to actually fight them. Breathing heavy, she looked back to Kolt, shrugging briefly.

"Beat them into a pulp, obviously. Might wanna poison this thing though, lest he tries to scare me again." Olympia sent another venomous glance towards the Duskull, before turning back to the Sunkern with a sigh. "ooof course you're still standing." she muttered, rolling her eyes as she rammed her body into the Sunkern.
