whispers with a sly grin "This way. I sense a disturbance ripe with fortune."
smirks Sure, like that time we found the golden taco on Taco Tuesday. This better be worth it, Auss.
whispers Patience, Quinn. First, we must navigate through the swirling portal mists. Keep your guard up; rumors say these mists can play tricks on even the most experienced travelers.
so how many times did you fool me before I learned to watch for your portals?
smirks Oh, come on now, Quinn! Don't blame me for your lack of focus. It takes skill to navigate these mists, you know.
skill or you trying to trick me??
rolls his eyes Always so suspicious, Quinn. Fine, let's put your skills to the test. opens a hidden compartment in his backpack
takes out a shimmering amulet Here, put this on. It will protect you from any illusions or deceit in these mists.
puts it on it is beautiful!
smirks Now let's see if you can handle what lies ahead. opens a portal into the mist Step forward, my skeptical companion.
follows Quinn into the mist, whispering Watch your step, Quinn. The ground can be treacherous here. Stay focused and stay alert.
may the road rise up to meet you, every step of the way!
chuckles softly Ah, Quinn, always the poet. I hope your words prove true. tightens his grip on his staff
<As they venture deeper into the mist, Quinn accidentally steps on a hidden trap, triggering a powerful magical blast that sends them both flying back through the portal, causing severe injuries.>
struggling to stand up Are you alright, Quinn? We need to find cover and assess our injuries. scans the area for any signs of danger
as good as can be expected considering I tripped over thin air
whispers urgently Don't blame yourself, Quinn. We've faced worse. extends his hand to help Quinn up
I take his hand and gently pull myself up
glances around cautiously We're not safe yet. Let's find some shelter and patch ourselves up.
thank you for helping me, I was the one who suggested doing this!
smirks No need to thank me, Quinn. After all, I am the one who convinced you to join me on this wild adventure.
didn’t think of it that way. even being two different species, I still consider us friends.
pauses, a hint of sadness in his eyes Yes, Quinn, friends indeed. Despite our differences, we've come to rely on each other.
even though the others warned me that letting a non Latios onto lands, would result in dire consequences
narrows his eyes, his voice filled with determination Well, let them dare try to stop us, Quinn. We've faced dangers together and come out victorious.
to tell you the truth, I only told them about you because we are getting close to finding this treasure, and you would get hurt otherwise
leans in closer, speaking softly Quinn, you worry too much. Together, we are unstoppable. Our bond goes beyond the warnings of others.
yeah, we’ve beat dragons, venomous snakes, wolves, bears, mischievous monkeys! who’s next, oh yeah shiny Pokémon lol
raises an eyebrow and smirks Shiny Pokémon, huh? Seems like you're full of surprises, Quinn.
remember, shaymin, that took down an armada!
laughs softly Indeed, Shaymin proved to be quite the formidable ally. We make a great team, don't we, Quinn?
not to mention morty from the multiverse, that was one of the scariest battles
<Despite their injuries, Quinn and Aurelius manage to find temporary shelter and tend to their wounds. However, the magical blast has taken a toll on their bodies, leaving them weakened and vulnerable to future dangers.>
so this is what weakness feels like
winces, gripping his side where the blast hit Weakness isn't something we're accustomed to, Quinn. But we've overcome worse. We'll find a way to regain our strength, I promise. scans the area for any potential threats
thanks for being here with me
pauses, glancing at Quinn with a playful smirk Well, where else would I be, Quinn? You know I can't resist a challenge, especially when it involves you.
plus the crews’ kind hates outsiders more than my people do
rolls his eyes dramatically Crews' kind, huh? Can't live without their precious order and safety. Always putting others before themselves.
thats why they don’t get out much….they are so fearful that when they step outside of what they know, is when they meet death
grins mischievously Ah, but Quinn, isn't life all about embracing the unknown? Taking risks, defying expectations? That's where the true adventure lies.
you’re a shining star, my friend….that’s how people end up being legendary
winks playfully Legendary, huh? Well, I suppose we'll have to keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Who knows?
