The woman followed Viridis up the tree, making her way up into the branches. "Should we take watches?" She asked, settling down at the base of one branch, leaning back against the tree trunk. "You mentioned there being monkeys in these trees, and if the snake was anything to go by... I wouldn't want to meet a monkey from this place."

"The monkeys are harmless," Viridis said, walking along a sturdy branch and plucking a fruit. "It's their predators we need to worry about. I can take first watch."

A burning body streaked across the sky, falling into the ocean not far from the Island.

The water boiled where it fell.

Is it loud? Because these two are quite a bit inland, and they can't see the sky very well through the canopy.

It would be loud

He is falling very fast.

Also, he is going to be swimming inland.

Viridis jumped at the sudden screech coming from the sky.

"Eagle," he whispered, before realising that the sound was coming from far, far above the canopy, and was way louder than any an eagle could make. He tried squinting through the trees, and only caught tiny flashes of red in the sky.

He had never heard of anything like this, not in all the time he had lived here. He considered investigating, but there wasn't really anything he could do; climbing higher would risk being snatched up by an eagle, and the thing seemed to be falling very fast over the island. It would probably land somewhere in the ocean, and he couldn't go all the way back to the coast now.

Tomorrow, he had to reach the pool. Then, he would see about the unidentified falling object.

Swimming in land?

@Ink and Embers @Just A Silvereye @Keke y'all would hear this too

This was soon followed by a loud roar, from a local predator.—one in pain.

Immense pain.

How close is it to Viridis?

You mean by river? The rivers have Deinosuchus...

Near the shore (in forest). Agony moves quickly.

Kingslayer rolled his eyes. “I’m not insane, you know—and I can understand that language. It’s a wide world out there. Something I could show you, if you join the free tour.”

Kingslayer unsheathed the sword at his waist, regarding the Pokémon.

”Are y’all like fine if I like… stop this thing?”

 

The boy did not respond, pulling further back behind his tree.

The Venusaur stopped a short distance from Kingslayer and the Pikachu, darkness gathering around the flower on its back.

The woman paled at the glimpses of the falling object. "I think... maybe we should keep moving. Whatever that is... it doesn't sound good." She glanced at the shadowed forest floor beneath them. "How far is the place you wanted to get to?"

“They can’t climb trees, can they?” The woman pressed her hand against the tree branch on which she stood. “That’s why we’re up here.” As she spoke, branches moved, shifting to interlock with those of another nearby tree. “It might be slower than walking below, but I can get us through the trees.”

"They cannot," Viridis confirmed. His eyes widened at the moving branches, though his face was still shadowed by his cowl. He had never seen anything like this before. 

"Alright," he said after a few moments. He had nothing to lose anyway.

The woman nodded, and set off along the branches of the tree, moving in the direction they’d been going earlier.

”So, what is it you’re looking for here?” Ahead, more branches moved to create a path. “Something important, to come somewhere so dangerous.”

"A pool," he said. "One that fills once every eleven years."

The leaves rustled, and heavy—but measured—footsteps sounded.

An imposing figure, carved literally from stone, passed through the brush. It had a steel mask, and intense yellow light glowed underneath stone scales and spines. 

“Greetings, Mortals.”

Viridis accelerated his metabolism by reflex, but was forced to put it back down when he started gasping for breath. A dagger appeared in his hands.

The woman raised a hand to her chest, trees quivering in response to her shock. “Who are you?” She asked.

Agony regarded him. “I am known as Agony, a High Notblade under Madness.”

I got a good idea and it’s cool—Madness isn’t the only Soul I brought over… not even the only one capable of creating an Archstone…

”I request to know where I am. There is an exceptional amount of… pain… here. Lower your blade.”

His voice was a low sound. A wooden groan and creak, rather than the gravel that his appearance evoked.

A low screeching sound was audible behind Kiornight, from above. Above, of all directions? Spinning, a strange colour of light blurred the air as someone fell fast towards the island - no, towards the ocean nearby. The roar grew into something almost deafening, almost sentient, then cut off as the falling object landed.

Kiornight paused, listening to the hiss of the impact's aftermath. Another strange force at play on the island; another power here to interfere. The logical decision would be to continue onwards, to the pool. The sensible decision would be to at least interact with someone (well, he'd tried with the person in the tree earlier). Too many beings were around, confusing and changing. He could at least try to understand what they were.

Cursing internally, Kiornight spun and searched over the branches until he found the tree people from earlier, talking to another creaking entity that glowed with a yellow light. He settled atop a nearby tree's crown and listened.

The Venusaur stopped a short distance from Kingslayer and the Pikachu, darkness gathering around the flower on its back.

(and replying to @Through the Living Wrath)

Pikachu met Kingslayer's outstretched hand and shook it, just like these wretched humans do to each other. However, he could tolerate them because they aren't doing anything troublesome toward him.

"Kingslayer... I can speak in your tongue," Pikachu mumbled. "Although, I like using my language better. I will reject your offer, as I do not know what you are talking about, in the slightest."

(In English - I assume that's the language we all are speaking. By the way, he speaks in any 3-4 word combo of the name Pikachu, e.g Pika, chu, Pika Pika etc.)

"But, I can take care of this Venusaur myself, your sword is worthless. As for the boy over there, I'll talk to him later, but I doubt he would stay if I approached." (In English - I'll point it out)

Pikachu turned and faced the Venusaur, who was towering over his small body. Harnessing the electric reserves he controlled, he begun an attack, shouting, "Pika... CHUUUUUUUUU!"

Sparks of electricity rushed out of his red cheeks, and focused it toward the Venusaur, creating his staple attack - the Thunderbolt.

But this thunderbolt wasn't normal at all. In fact, it was 100,000 times more powerful. All that energy was pointed in one direction, just about to strike the grass and poison Pokemon.
