• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Blue looked at Gladiolus, more exhausted than anything at this point. "Blue. Viridian City Gym Leader. 'S in Kanto." Huh. He'd assumed Lily—Lillian?—had told him already. They were apparently from Alola, super far away but at least a real, not made up place, but according to that issue of Back...

    Rescuing Victini, huh. Fine if he really was stuck, somehow. (How had he gotten stuck? How would you even know?) Would it kill her to show some actual remorse or concern for what had happened to Leona, though? Or at least explain exactly why it wasn't her fault? Whatever. Right now, the stuff...

    Leaf tried to keep her attention on helping with the aqueducts. And she did! Really! It was just that unfortunately that left no attention for thinking in a tone other than icy sarcasm. "Good to hear the test was so valuable. Gotta make sure your magic multiversal kidnapping machine's in perfect...

    Closer inspection—as close as Gladius dared to get, at least—revealed the battered remains of a straw toquilla hat hanging from the far side of one rhydon's head. A thin loop of string or wire hung around the other's tail, bearing a small, tarnished metal charm. It was hard to tell for sure...

    ...okay. Okay. The gun was empty. That was... well it was still wretchedly bad, why had the universe (multiverse, whatever, he hated everything) stranded him with maniacs who willingly disguised themselves as D-grade horror flick monsters or whose solution to an argument was to hold people at...

    Logicking out puzzles had never been Leaf's strongest suit. Even when she was just at home playing video games, fiddling with all the options over and over until something finally clicked had been less annoying than struggling to draw weird connections she just wasn't seeing. Might've been fun...

    Good news: the sprigatito didn't object to Blue's presence. Bad news: they appeared to have mistaken that presence for an invitation to start reciting Cat Beowulf, and did you know that Cat Beowulf was maybe actually not that much more exciting to listen to than weird foreign language arguing...

    "I'm sure if Beetle'd had the time to know what they were getting into, they'd have chosen someone better for the job," Leaf snorted. She moved past Virga and toward the strange screens. Nova was right, it wasn't really the time... but it felt way easier to be annoyed than some of the other...

    ...Oh. Well, that was easy. Easier if they'd actually found anyone else along the way, but the one person who had any shot at all at fixing Beetle was definitely the next best thing. None of the languages the professor cycled through meant all that much to her, but the telepathy'd been doing...

    Well, at least the kitten was taking better to Lily's babytalk than he had. "Just... don't go running off, okay?" Blue squinted at their surroundings one more time. Even leaving aside the haze kicked up by the rain, it was hard to make out where they'd even go next. Just... follow the trench...

    Leaf wanted to say more, demand to know why she thought she had the right to speak to Jade like that, but Jade herself was busying herself with Beetle's body now. If she didn't want to get into it right now, fair enough. It wasn't really Leaf's place to say. (But it wasn't fair, either.) She...

    Lugia? Wait, really? How... oh. Oh. Now it made sense, the way that cold, appraising stare had felt so familiar— The sensation of falling, falling, falling, a massive winged shape looming dispassionately overhead, psychic pressure all around and in her head insisting that there was no point—...

    The relief that went through her on hearing Jade's voice—even if the words made no sense—and seeing the meowth waving at them from above was immeasurable. How had she gotten dragged here, though? She hadn't even been at the mesa. Had something happened to all of them? Leaf moved to stand by the...

    Blue narrowed his eyes at the mawile. Didn't need fancy dog hearing or to know what the words were to make out the dismissive tone. "Must be so rough for you," he muttered, "actually being able understand people and have half an idea what's even going on." He had half a mind to see how well she...

    "Sooner" it was, then. Virga'd already taken off in the direction of whatever she'd noticed. (Kind of a relief when she turned away, honestly. Nicer than being scrutinized like she'd somehow done something wrong again.) It felt better to be moving again, in the sense that they were finally...
