Raoul began to approach one of the curious serpents in the area as calmly and cautiously as he can, his appearance turning wan and otherworldly as he took on his phantom appearance. He's trying to be non-threatening as possible, even though hen't a terribly charming fellow and is probably one of the more intimidating contestants period.

As Raoul approaches the Lava swimming Serpents they dive, well... not all of them. One seems to be intrigued by the pale contestant. Curiously it slides out of the stream and towards the ghostly representative. As it slithered forward stopping in front of the trainer.
Aleri stayed on task and looked around to get her bearings, checking herself on her own mental map of which direction might be the right one.

Raoul nearly face-palmed or hung his head when he saw that the lot of them took a dive into the lava. Yep, definitely not run-of-the-mill dragons... and about the effect he expected, honestly. However, one remained and he carefully knelt down by that one. He took out some smoked strip of goat (or gogoat if animals don't exist here) wrapped in a cloth he had to go from the earlier meal and placed it before the Dratini as an offering.
"Hello there little one. We're not here to disturb you." Well, not at the moment. He glanced over at Rose Red for a brief moment after saying that, wondering if or when she'd get her bearings as he goes about this.

"These runes are a warning, my lady," Erinna told Aluche when she finished reading them, "and these flowers are planted over graves. The runes say not to anger what is beneath. I think Groudon might still be here."
Upon the arrival of the robed man, Erinna blushed slightly at the forwardness of his opening remark. She kept it mostly under control though as she was able to reason that he was probably talking about the princess and her companions. As was her duty, she the priestess introduced her charge, presenting Aluche. "You stand before Princess Aluche Triaria I, chosen of Arceus, heir to throne of the Rainbow Court, and representative of the Holy Kingdom of Aurian in the Contest of Champions." The pride in her voice was obvious as she spoke. "May I ask your name, sir?"

Aluche stays silent, trying to figure out how the man before them changed his location so quickly. Occult Ed Check: E45tRORo5d6 ----------- Shirai looks around for another one of the serpants, knowing that Aluche would want one of the cute critters. She also attempts to reach out to the ones that dove under, hoping one would be curious enough to come up and speak with her. Hello? Can any of you hear me?

When Babs entered the chamber the heat hit her like a ton of bricks. She'd never even heard of anything like this let alone seen it before. After a quick scan of the room she saw the Pokemon, none of which really caught her eye. Raoul had scared off most of the fire snakes and she didn't really feel like trying to train up things made of liquid fire so he sidled up beside Red.
"Wowie, foreign parts sure have some strange things in them. Is this normal or did this Grow-Down make this place?"
While Babs was distracted Boggy skipped up to the Grimer, giving them a loud "Hee Hawww!" in greeting.

The Dratini approaches Raoul more as he speaks and circles around him as if studying the trainer. The Grimer dives beneath the surface as Boggy approaches and blinks from it's magma bath before rising again and looking at other Pokemon, it waved a arm in response to Boogy's greeting.
Another Dratini pops up and stares at Shirai having heard the other talking in it's head.
Aleri nods getting her bearings, "This cavern used to be here, but not as warm and lava filled. When groudon rose up it caused a lot of fissures to open and cracked walls and floors in this underground area. If he's still around we'll know as we get closer, though some other big nasties might be there first."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Occult Ed: You can only assume teleportation of some sort, though it was different then the common teleportation that Pokemon use. Intuition: He does not appear hostile, though he is hiding something definitely.
The man bows, "I did not know I was in the presence of royalty, as for myself my name is Zeuxis, I represent a party interested in the going ons of this land and thought to stop by and look around the area myself."

"...Shadow Sneak...?" Aluche muttered to herself as she brainstormed a possible explanation for Zeuxis' abnormal teleportation.
----------------------------
Shirai gives the Dratini that popped up a small bow. Hello there. My name is Shirai. It is a pleasure to meet you.

Boggy, miffed at being unable the draw the attention of the Grimer ran up to the edge of the magma stream and began to slam the ground hard causing reverberations through the area around her. Babs, who had been contemplating Red's words, snapped her attention to the filly. "Oi! You air-headed little beast! Get away from there afore you burn yerself! Who'll have to deal with yer moaning when you do? Me! That's who."
Babs stomped after her wayward Pokemon.

Raoul just watched the curious draconic-looking lava snake (a Dratini?) as it circled around him. He just waved at it with both his hand and a spectral one that mimicked his flesh hand and offered it a small smile -probably the first one he'd cracked all day since venturing out- as he waited for it to finish inspecting him. He still offered the food for it with his other hand, waiting.
Near Raoul, Conan was watching the thing warily, holding his bone in a guarded position.

The Grimer shook from the shock-waves as the ground was moved by the Mudbray. a bit more then slightly wounded and annoyed the magma blob slid out of the lava. "Grime!" It seemed a bit twisted after the attack pointing at the Mudbray and then itself as it pulled back a hand deciding to respond in kind to Boggy's second greeting. Fire Punch Ac5xZsy2Mu1-20 Damage1-81-8+22 Physical Effect:Burns on Ac 19+
Seeing Conan the Dratini blinked, grabbing the food in it's mouth it slinked over towards the Cubone and dropped the food for it, nudging it slightly with it's nose. The other Dratini moved up to Shirai and began circling the ballerina like Pokemon before sliding up next to her. The warmth from its scales was evident as it had been in the lava stream until recently. It seemed that it couldn't respond telepathically but was not opposed to meeting with Shirai. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Aurora looked at the man now introducing himself as Zeuxis, her eyes glowing a pale blue for a moment before she closed them and jumped backwards. Zeuxis smiled slightly seeing this, "It's not nice to peek at others auras little one, sometimes you might find something to big to handle." 1-20·1-8·1-8

Raoul looked over at the two in amusement when the Dratini decided to... offer the food to Conan. He decided to watch this play out between the small pokemon, his smile turning amused.
Meanwhile, Conan blinked and stared at the fire snake for a long moment before grinning and taking the food and placing his bone on an adorable little holster belt loop. He then tore the jerky in half. "Cubone. Cubone? (You're a nice one. Share?)" He asked as he offered the half while putting his own half in his mouth like a meat version of a pipe or a cigar.

Boggy blinked for a second, more surprised than anything. That had actually hurt! The nerve of some critters. Boggy immediately retaliated with a hefty stomp. Babs caught up with the filly, sighing as she pulled out her battle-axe from the bundle strapped to her back. "You did it now you ninny. You'll learn someday, I swear."Babs swung her axe at the blob hoping that the liquid fire wouldn't hurt it.

Princess Aluche said something under her breath, but did not respond to the mysterious man, so Erinna assumed she meant for her to continue the interaction. Though Aurora reacted strangely to him, and his comment was just as mysterious as the rest of him, Erinna went on politely. "We are here to explore as well," she said with a smile that one might receive from a hostess at a restaurant. This man was strange, but it was her and Aluche's responsibility to establish good relationships for the kingdom, and if his aura was powerful, he must be as well. "Do you know much about the history of this place, Mr. Zeuxis? Or is there something left worth looking into?"

Aluche looks over to Aurora. "What's wrong?"
---------------------
Shirai giggles. You haven't met a Psychic type before, have you? Many of us are capable of speaking into the minds of others like this.
(Of course, I am also quite able to speak aloud as well.) She says in her original Pokemon tongue.

Aurora loked over at Aluche and shook her head whispering, "I... Something fought me off, I saw something and~"
Zeuxis inturrupted the young woman as he picked up his voice, "I was checking on the area, seeing if there was anything interesting around and found your little group. I'm a archaeologist of sorts, more of a cryptologist I suppose but potato potato."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Grimer flattens under the stomp as the axe misses, "Grime...mer.." the blob sinks flat and unconscious (Boogy gain that 400 exp for first fight)
The Dratini around Shirai and Roaul chirp happily. The one near Raoul accepts the Jerky and chews as the one with Shirai responds to her
(Oh, I was wondering, you might have just been a small human I thought)

"Well maybe it has something to do with his connection to the Ghost type? He used Shadow Sneak to move around earlier." Aluche whispered back. Aluche tries to remember if she ever came across mention of a way to block and Aura Reading in her studies.

Babs flails her axe around wildly, falling on her butt as Boggy drives the Grimer away. Rising in a huff she brushes the seat of her pants off.
"While that didn't turn out too badly you listen here, stick close we don't know what sort of critters are living down here."
Babs stomped back to Red, a hand on Boggy's neck to make sure the filly didn't run off again.
"So, do you reckon you know where we are now?"

Raoul smiled and watched them for a bit while also looking at the little tussle happening with Babs and her mule out of the corner of his eye. How interesting. After a little bit of watching them, he offered them both more pieces of jerky before finally speaking.
"I hope you two are enjoying that." Raoul saw a thumbs up from Conan. "So... would you like to join us? At least for some while? I have more food where that came from and we would really appreciate it uf we had a resident of these caverns to help us through here. You look like a smart and brave one after all." Raoul wasn't used to giving compliments or being more than neutral but he was trying. Getting out of his comfort zone go.

"The rest of our party is already inside the temple," Erinna told Zeuxis, while casting a meaningful glance toward Aluche. It is rude to whisper in front of a guest, Princess, the look said. "A woman that is with us originally lived in this town, and is showing us the ruins of her home. I must warn you though, I do not believe she is entirely stable." It didn't sound like the greatest invitation, but Erinna was having to recover the situation.
