"I don't suppose you could show us the way could you?" Chris asked, sounding a little nervous. "I really need these plates." <Chris, don't forget, using this plate, I can call up the spirits of the departed. I can bring your parents to this realm now so that you can talk to them once more> Arcane reminded him. "That has to wait Arcane. When we get back to the house, I'll do it then."

Mightyena was awake again. It squirmed in the trainer's grasp, wanting to be let down. <I can help. I've been through here before> It said, experienced eyes looking for any known trails.
The Snorunts shrugged. <We can come too, but we're not going very far... It's too dangerous.> The female murmured, clinging to the male's arm tightly.

Putting the Mightyena down, Chris said "Just make sure to watch your step. The ice could break on you at any time." Turning to the Snorunt couple, he said "Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. And don't worry, we'll protect you if need be."

Padding swiftly over the ice, Mightyena lowered it's head to the ground, sniffing as it walked. <It's this way>
The ice was expansive, and large. It was almost impossible to tell which direction you were heading, unless there was an experienced guide present. The howling winds picked up, as a thick, powdery snow began to pour down. Shaking off his fur, Mightyena continued to trot. <We're nearly there.>
The female Snorunt slid to a stop. <Go on without me.> She sniffed, flashing the male a worried look. <This is as far as I'm going>
The male nodded, waving goodbye to her and continuing to walk.

Looking at the female Snorunt, Chris immediately told the male "If you're worried about her, then go back to protect her. I'm just glad we're nearly there, right Arcane? Arcane?" The Arceus wasn't present, which immediately caused Chris to worry. But then he felt a sudden chill, and the presence of another inside of him. "Arcane, why are you inside my body?" he asked curiously. <To hide> Arcane whispered (through Chris' mouth of course).

The male nodded, and darted backwards to join it's mate in another rousing hopscotch game.
Mightyena lifted it's head, keen eyes piercing through the thick snowstorm. <We're here> He took a few steps onto solid ground, the first in what seemed like ages. The ice had gotten thin and brittle the last few yards.

"Finally" Chris said with relief, stepping onto the solid ground. "Okay Arcane, we're here. Now can you get out of me?" The legendary obeyed, landing next to Mightyena. <That was fun> he admitted. "Hey Mightyena, remember my question about becoming part of the family?" Chris asked. "What was your answer?"

Shyly, Mightyena's gaze met the ground. <Uhhm, do you really want me to join?> It paced anxiously in the snow. <If you do, then I will. You guys are fun. And I know some pretty cool attacks... I had a trainer once, but he ditched me here ages ago.> His eyes darkened at the memory of his previous trainer.

"It's just...my Weavile is usually rather lonely in our home, being the only dark type" Chris explained. "We have a room for each type, and I'm sure you'd be able to keep him company. There's always something for you to do at my home."

It nodded. <Fine. I will keep your Weavile company.> It's thick, bushy tail wagged from side to side. <As long as you feed me occasionally.>

"Don't worry, we always have plenty of food" Chris laughed. "Just ask a Pokemon nearby to take you to the kitchen and they will. Then you get to eat your fill." Looking around, he asked "Wonder what could be here?"

Mightyena lowered his nose to the ground, sifting through several layers of compacted snow. <I think I smell something> he muttered, digging with his paws.

"Mind if I help?" Chris asked, kneeling down to Mightyena. "Oh, Weavile isn't always in the house, just as a reminder. I'll fill the room with more dark types eventually, but you'll be able to keep him company when we're home."

He nodded his shaggy head, processing the information but saying nothing. He continued to dig, through layers and layers of snow until finally he saw it. Dipping his head down, he snatched it into his mouth and dropped it next to Chris. <It's... a tm?> Mightyena blinked. He knew this wasn't what they had been looking for... TM 13 - Ice Beam

Gratefully taking the TM, Chris gave Mightyena a gentle stroke on the forehead. "It's alright, you did a great job" he told him. "We'll take it from here." He released Dark Frost and Abel, telling them that there might be a plate in this area. "Mightyena, do you want to keep searching, or do you want to go back to my home now?"

Mightyena's face relaxed into a smile. <I'm kinda tired. I sleep a lot...> It laughed, sitting down in the snow.

"Okay, I'll send you home then" Chris said, getting a Timer Ball out of his pocket. "Timer Ball, go!" he yelled, throwing it at the Mightyena.

Enveloped by the flash of light, Mightyena's last thoughts were of his former trainer. He wondered how he was doing...
The orb dropped into the snow, shaking only once before coming to a stop. Almost instantly, it was buried under the vigorous snowfall that continued to pour from the sky.
Mightyena was captured! ::mightyena:: Gender: Male Nickname: - Attacks: Taunt, Scary Face, Bite, Roar, Swagger, Iron Tail, Thunder Fang, Level: 41

Chris smiled, knowing that the Timer Ball would return to his home. "Enjoy your new home" he said, turning to his other Pokemon. "How are we doing so far? Find anything yet?"

Snow flew everywhere, revealing little more than a bunch of pebbles. And a very angry Rattata, which flashed them a vicious glare before scampering off to find another hiding spot.
