Welcome to Gaia! ::

The trip wasn't very eventful, until we reached the Ice Path.

"God its like a industrial freezer in here." I said through chattered teeth as i attempted to keep myself warm. "P-p-p-p-pip!" Mizu chattered. Ion lazily floated unaffected by the cold. "Your l-l-l-lucky the cold d-d-d-doesn't affect you Ion." I said as i picked up Mizu to try and keep him warm. A couple of Zubats flew by us as we continued down the path. I saw some Jynx's dancing, swinubs burrowing into the ground. It seemed very peaceful.

After an hour or so we reached the deepest part of the path. The cold was almost unbearable. "C-c-c-c-c-cant wait t-t-t-t-t-till we get o-o-o-out of here." I stammered as Mizu snuggled into me while in my arms. As we traveled i caught a glance of a white coated cat like creature dart by. I looked around trying to see where it went. It looked like a pokemon, but i knew i never saw anything like that before. During my search i slipped on a patch of ice, "Oh SH-" i slid down an unfamiliar path and crashed. Mizu flew from my arms and Ion had quickly followed after me.

"Sneas?"
"Sneas?"

I could feel my stomach fallout, i had fallen into a Sneasel nest. Three of them lept out at me and stood menacingly. "Quick! Ion! Metal Sound." I said trying to get up. Ion began making a loud screeching metal on metal sound that made the Sneasel's hold there heads in pain. "Mizu! Where are you!" The cold didn't matter to me anymore, i had to find Mizu before i could focus on the battle. It was stupid of me to not bring Rivet, but I felt i wasn't ready to use him again. I heard a weak "pip" comming from the actual nest. The Sneasel's shook off the screeching and saw Mizu in there nest and began to move in on him. "NO! Ion! Magnet Bomb!" Ion began drawing up metal shavings and then launched out it all out in a blast at one of the Sneasel's. All three of them stopped and turned to face Ion. "Mizu! Are you ok?" I shouted over to him as i stood behind Ion. Mizu slowly got up, it looked like he had hurt himself in the crash. "Mizu! You have to help us!" Mizu stood ready tho it winced in pain. The sneasel's attacked Ion with there claws, it looked like Slash. "Mizu! I know your not feelin good but you need to help! Ion needs your help!" Ion took another slash trio and fell. "NO! ION!!!" Mizu puffed out his chest and charged at one of the sneasel's "Mizu! Metal Claw!" With one of his tiny flippers he struck out a slammed the same sneasel Ion has struck. It collapsed from the blow. The two sneasel's almost in a heart beat pincered Mizu after he had struck and Mizu fell. "No..." Weakly left my lips as i saw my two partners had fallen. The two sneasel's directed their attention on me sharpening there claws. The grinned menacingly as they slowly approached me. This would be the first time id have to fend off wild pokemon in a long time.

The first one lept at me in a slashing motion. I threw my arms up to block its attacks and it gashed my arms. The searing pain was almost to much to handle. I had to scare them off at least to save Mizu and Ion.

It was funny, i thought we were almost out of here, if it wasn't for that odd looking pokemon i probably woulda left here without incident, and now, both my pokemon had fainted and i was fighting off two Sneasel's. The second Sneasel lept at me and i was able to grab one of its arms and swing it at the first one. Unfortunatly i missed it and it a quick thought i tossed the Sneasel i was holding into an ice pillar. It slammed into the pillar with a sickening thud. It didnt get up, but i still had one more to deal with. I felt i had used up all my energy, and the bleeding didn't help. I started to fade in and out.

"Mizu.....Ion.... I'm sorry. I failed you guys. Rivet, be good to your new master." I thought as i fell. The sneasel moved up closer and raised its claws. It gave an evil smirk and right as it was about to strike a white blur collided into sneasel. Was that the pokemon i saw before? The Sneasel fell to the ground and the white coat pokemon moved over to me. It took the pokeballs from my belt and nudged them onto Mizu and Ion, returning them to their respective balls. It then took the balls put them back onto my belt and it lifted me onto its back. It took me to the exit of the Ice path and slid me off its back. It vanished almost as fast as it had appeared.

Before i blacked out i heard some one shout out "Somebody help! This guy looks hurt!"

Suddenly Kotsuko would hear a strange beeping noise coming from his egg. The egg would begin to glow a bright blue color and cracks appeared on the eggs surface. The beeping would get louder as a strange thing happened, the cracks in the egg seemed to shift around as the egg began to take on a new shape. After the egg was finished transforming its shape it would stop glowing a single eye would appear on the end of it. "Beeeldum." Chimed the strange new creature that the egg had transformed into.

After wandering for a bit through blackthorn and admiring the new partner i had gained i finally came across the Move Deleter's Home. I knocked on the door after placing Bismuth's pokeball back onto my belt.

"yes, yes, one minute. One minute."

After a few seconds the door opened up and i was greeted by a guy with swirly glasses. "Yes, yes? Are you lookin to delete moves?" The Deleter asked.

"No, i was looking to respond to your little wanted flier." I said as i pulled it out and showed it to him. The Deleter quickly grabbed the flier and glanced over it (Or at least i think he did, it was hard to tell with those silly glasses).

"Ahh yes, yes, well, if you could. I'd like you to break that damn machine here. Its been putting me out of buissness, I'm losing money on this!" He said motioning me into his house. I stared for a minute. "Wait a second, isn't your service a non-profit deal?" I said heading in. "Hrmm, well..." he gave a cough . "That's.... not the point! I could be in big trouble. Go break that damn machine or something!" He said shoving the flier into my chest.

I impishly took the flier and placed it back into my pocket. "Well could you please point me in the direction of said machine?"

He stared at me with those glasses, i quickly stifled a laugh. I could hardly take this guy seriously with those rediculous glasses and i just saw a lick of hair spring up on his head. "Believe it or not its right behind my house. Something about it being public property and they can place it where ever they want. Now go! Go-go-go-go!" He said now shoving me out of his house.

So weird that i was invited and then kicked out of his house so quickly. Luckily the machine was right here so i just had to go to it and just bash it to pieces.
