-Shattered Bond, a Pokemon Legend-

Delphi gazed at the ruined land and the skeleton-like trees and sighed. She'd been on her own for years, abandoning society to start a new life in the Farlands. She didn't know it would be this lonely. Delphi trudged along the red rocks and came to a large cave, in which she lived. Her fire crackled loudly as the wind whistled past her, bringing dirt and dust into the cave. Opening her dirty bag, she brought out a bunch of berries and nuts, which she mashed with a stick into a bowl-like rock. Measly as it is, it would be the only thing she could find to eat today. As the sun set, another day of loneliness ended and another would begin.

Phoenix let out a cry of joy and laughter as she flew through the sky, diving in between clouds, splitting them in two. Her best friend, Talon, was hot on her tail. The two of them zipped across the wide-open, clear blue canvas, making loops and turns and dives and flaps. Her wings beating faster, Phoenix dipped just below the cloud-line and flew straight below it. Talon soon joined her, and the young Trainquill pursued her friend along the undersides of the clouds with a laugh. Phoenix laughed back, and flapped her wings even harder. Slowly, she began pulling away from Talon, driving herself farther away from being caught.
They were playing a game, a game of tag, if you will. And so far, Phoenix was winning. She flew even faster, testing her flight limits, seeing how far she could go in how little amount of time, and soon she was almost out of sight of her friend. Looking back and seeing Talon struggling to catch up, the little Fletchinder laughed to herself. She was just that good. Turning her head back around, she continued flying onward, going back up above the clouds in the hopes of losing Talon in the midst of all the grey. For as they had been flying, the two friends had slowly crossed over into gloomier weather, and the sky, no longer quite so clear, was filled with thick, grey clouds.

As Phoenix continued through the clouds, a looming feeling of doubt started to settle over her. Glancing back, she saw that no one was chasing her, but she still felt uneasy. She decided to dip back out of the clouds and go back with Talon. When she exited, however, Talon was nowhere in sight, and she was in an area of land that she had never seen before.
Fluttering in place, she looked around at the earth below her. There was little to no vegetation, and it looked barren and dead. The wind flew in as a chilling cold gust, almost sweeping Phoenix out of the sky. Flapping her wings in order to regain her balance, she decided to take a closer look at this suspicious land. She dove, using her wings to soften her fall, and, coming to a stop, she set herself gently on the ground.
Once she landed, the wind became even more hostile, whipping through her feathers as if it were trying to freeze her to death. Phoenix gave her feathers an anxious ruffle and walked forwards, her thin legs tik-takking on the cold ground.
As she traveled deeper into this mysterious new land, her cloud of uneasiness only grew larger, but so did her curiosity, growing to rival the anxiety fluttering in her chest. She weaved in between thin forests and dead-looking bramble bushes, no signs of life anywhere. Just then, she heard something up ahead. Straining her vision, she saw a flickering light coming from inside a cave. Her heart fluttered with curiosity and fear. Should she go investigate? She decided yes, and walked forwards, trying to appear non-threatening so whatever was in the cave didn't attack her. Then, she reached the cave. With a deep breath, she walked inside, feeling her heart hammering against her chest.
She looked around and made eye contact with a confused and angry-looking Abra.

Delphi looked up suddenly, coming face to face with Pheonix. Her deranged-looking eyes burned with flames and within an instant, two sharpened spoons were gripped tightly by her hands. *Who are you? Why are you here? HOW are you here?* the words flew from her mouth like bullets. Her tail was flicking angrily from side to side. *WELL?* She screamed. Delphi started to worry. Were others going to come? No, no, she didn't want that. She didn't like people, even as lonely as she was. She continued to stare at Pheonix, her knuckles turning white from gripping her spoons.

Phoenix's feathers ruffled slightly, but she couldn't blame this Pokemon. She was technically barging into someone else's home uninvited. "Well... for starters, my name is Phoenix," she said, her brain racing with fear but her voice surprisingly steady. Guess it pays to defy adults all the time. "And I don't know how I got here. I was playing with my friend when I flew too far in the clouds, and when I came back down I was here."
Phoenix finished her tale and glanced at the spoons being gripped tightly by the Abra. Every instinct in her body told her to either puff up and return this Pokemon's hostility, or get the heck out of there and fly away, never coming back again. Not like she could come back anyways, as she didn't know how she got here in the first place.

Delphi lowered her spoons a fraction. She pondered. *Pheonix....hmmm* she thought. *What clan are you in?* She asked fiercely.

"Ageus." Phoenix replied quickly. She didn't know what it was, but something about this Pokemon made her want to stay on its good side. Maybe it was the fact it looked extremely powerful and angry, but Phoenix had never let that stop her before. Now, she stood in the opening to a cave that housed a Pokemon Phoenix had never seen before, holding some sharp spoons. She would have found it amusing if not for the circumstance.

---

*Ageus, ageus, oh, the flying clan* Delphi muttered. *OK, then go back to your clan!* she screamed. She brandished her spoons in the air, looking entirely mad.
GO ON NOW!* She shouted. Her black ripped jacket fluttered in the wind.

Phoenix's feathers ruffled and she gave a startled flap. Hesitating for a moment, she turned and spread her wings, lifting off into the sky. Looking back, she saw the cave with the flickering firelight disappear as she flew away.
Phoenix grumbled. Bold of you to assume I want to go back. she thought bitterly. But she couldn't bring herself to feel mad. She felt kind of sorry for this Pokemon, living on its own. Despite it obviously being lonely, it didn't seem to like others that much. She shook her head as a wave of thoughts swirled around in her mind, sloshing against her consciousness, storming around, fighting to be thought first. Her flight pattern slowed as she struggled to keep her mind on the sky. Anything could be flying at her at any time- sky travel is very dangerous.
But her mind continued racing, and she found herself not being able to focus. She didn't even feel herself falling until her thoughts died down and she came back into reality, watching the ground approaching faster and faster. At first she was confused. Then it hit her, and panic took over. She flapped her wings desperately, and she was able to slow her fall somewhat, but she crashed against the ground, tumbling over herself until she ran into a prickly bush. Spitting out dirt, she struggled upright and examined herself. She didn't seem to be too hurt, which was good, but she had tumbled head-first into a thorn bush. Great.
With a sigh, she pushed herself up, wincing from the sting of the thorns, and slowly picked them out while walking away. She was still in the barren land, but fortunately the angry Abra's cave was nowhere in sight. Once she had gotten all the thorns out, Phoenix looked around. She shook her head. There was no reason to stay here. Lifting her wings, she gave a flap to lift herself back into the sky. She got a few feet off the ground before her left wing exploded in pain and she fell to the ground with a thud.
Ok, so maybe not as unharmed as she thought.
Phoenix gave a frustrated twitter and folded her right wing, but kept her left wing held out at an awkward angle as it hurt to try and move it. Limping slightly, she continued forwards, trying to get a sense of direction. Of all the places she could have gotten her wing hurt, she had to get it hurt here, where there was literally no one. She closed her eyes for a moment, frustration starting to grab at her, but she let it out with a sigh. She would simply walk home. There was no need to freak out. Calming her mind and slowing her heart, she walked onward, trying not to move her wing.

Delphi saw Pheonix fly away sadly. She knew she'd been too harsh on the Pokemon but she didn't trust anyone. Not since....she didn't want to think about it. She put her spoons back on a rock and resumed eating her dinner in silence.

Axel emerge form a hole underground that hold his home underneath, slowly seeping out as his claw place ground followed by the back paw shaking the dirt off his fur back into the air. Done the feet being to move claw pearing the ground with the back feet kicking dirt every time step are taking a step, axel only came out with one thing in mind getting metal pigment for his home heading himself to the material area.

His mouth holds a few sticks he found in the deep forest, then Boss pushes himself out into the open. Weeeee! The young spheal came tumbling out in the opening with a cheerful smile. He has already fallen 16,810,16 times and still never got bored -okay, the number may have exaggerated a bit- but he left with only a few bruises. His fins sweep against the hot sand and dump all the sticks.

---

Delphi walked around the cave, her eyes glaring madly at the sky, as if it had done something wrong. She kicked stones around idly, she was extremely bored.

Aexl scrounges around the material area kicking dirt in frustration unsuccessfully finding his adjectives "how can they be out of stock of metal pigment!?" Blirting into the mind, standing there a idea echoes into his mine "I could go over to one of the other clan but there's likely a lot of Pokemon over there" scrounging his eyes on the ground. Beginning to tap on the wear down mask making a harsh Rusty noise "there always the wisp clan a Pokemon aren't known to reside there", quickly placing the claw onto ground as paw turns toward to the one and only round leading to the wisp clan

Dawn was perched on a ledge in her cave, her eyes flickering. She regretted becoming Misonis, she had no idea what was happening down there.

Dawn flew down.
