Shields gains two levels!
The Growlith stepped forward, nodding at the Shinx.
<You fight very well> He commented, <It's a good thing we found you before we fought those... pokemon.>
The Wooper didn't say anything, but got out from around Ardeo's leg, feeling safer now that the vicious charmanders were done for. |

The Shinx offered an more at ease smile after the compliment, ~I have protected my sister from harm for many years. Protecting my Trainer is no different. Though, he get's in bigger trouble.~ he mrowed, casting a look at the Fire Morph.
"I was just trying to help out the Eevee..." he mumbled, "Stupid Ghosts..." he muttered, "Smell anything friendly, Growlithe?" time to get back to the mission. Shields grinned, catching on. The Growlithe was useful, with his nose. But the other two? What were they, tagalongs?

The growlith chuckled, then sniffed the ground, taking a few steps forward. He couldn't smell anything.
<No.. Nothing. Except for Charmanders, but that's because of them> he guestured towards the fallen pokemon, <We just need to pick a way and take it.> |

Ardeo frowned, hoping he would be able to meet up with one of his Pokemon right away. Oh well...He wasn't leaving this stupid maze until he had them all. "Right, then, how about this way?"
~Arde, I don't think it matters. Every way will equal trouble you know.~ if Ardeo heard, he ignored the comment, picking a way at random. Weaving through the headstones with Shields behind him. Along with, presumably, the other three as well.

For once, the trainer had been lucky. The other path was long and windy, leading only to a dead end. Ardeo's path, however, led to a wide clearing with three pokeballs in the middle.
A shiny Shuppet appeared, swaying her tea dress-like body as she awaited the trainer to get closer. |

"Poke'balls!"
~Shoot, a Ghost.~
"Pfft, you can Bite them now, no worries." the Fire Morph said with a grin, though he frowned after looking at the Shuppet, "I don't remember them being blue, though. I thought they were darkish grey?"
~Why are you discussing colors with me? Haven't you seen a Shiny Pokemon before?~
"Shiny? ...No, can't say I have." he replied, looking thoughtful, and totally forgetting about the Shuppet.

The two pokemon behind him stopped. The psyduck was far off behind them, watching the passed out mutant charmander with interest.
The Shuppet finally stopped twirling, watching the trainer and pokemon with interest before speaking up.
<Welcome, trainer. This is another game to win one to three pokemon. As you can see, the pokeballs are under me. In order to get one, however, you must answer to a riddle. If you get the riddle right, you can choose one of the pokeballs. If you get it wrong, you will have two more chances to guess correctly before the pokeball will be teleported elsewhere. Do you accept?> |

~Oh, shoot, Ardeo. They're doomed.~ Shields muttered,
"Hey, I'm smart. I can do this. Of course I accept. I'm not leaving any of my friends behind." he said with a confident look in his eyes. Shields, however, put his face in his paws - hoping against all hope he would know the answer to at least one riddle.

The Shuppet chuckled to herself.
<Feel free to help your trainer.> She said to the pokemon, <I understand the lack of confidence in any human.>
With that she thought for a second.
<Alright. First riddle.>
With that, a large wave of wind blew, kicking up sand. When the sand settled, words were engraved into the earth. Neatly.
"I dreamt of murkrow, on a fence.
It's weird, but I dream often.
How many murkrow are on the fence?" |

Ardeo blinked, fully confused by the riddle. The Shinx, too, puzzled over it, coming up short. Most of the riddles he had heard were...Well, weren't like this. "But, if your dreaming...How can they really be there?" Shields muttered to himself, but couldn't personally come up with anything better then wondering if there were any Murkrow to begin with.

The Shuppet shook her body again before trilling, <Two more guesses!> |

Ardeo looked at Shields, like he would know the answer. But the Shinx simply shook his head, ~I used to eat Murkrow, not count them.~ the Blaziken sighed deeply, and sat, staring at the riddle as though if he gave it enough time the words would form into answers. It wasn't really working so far, but he had time.

The ghost waited patiently, twirling. She didn't really care how long the trainer took. |

Both the Shinx and the Blaziken narrowed their eyes at that, and leaned closer to the riddle (as though it would help), and stared. The blue and gold kit with a flicking tail, and the Blaziken with an irriated spark in his eyes. This was annoying. And stupid. And, he was about to tell Shields to just Bite the Shuppet when the kit mrowed with laughter. "What?"
~I think I get it.~
"So, tell the Ghost."
~Okay, okay.~ he glanced at the riddle one more time, to be sure, and then looked up at the dancing dish rag, ~Ten.~ Ardeo blinked, '10? Where did he get that number?' and glanced at the riddle again, as if now he would understand.

The shuppet giggled, twirling in the air. One of the balls started to glow before rolling off and stopping at Ardeo's feet.
She moved and hovered over the next one.
<Nice job.> She said, giggling as another wave of sand kicked up, removing the first riddle to replace it with another.
"Three men are on a boat. They all fall in, completely underwater.
Only two of the men go their hair wet. What happened?"
Inside the pokeball that was given to the trainer was the Wartortle.
