This needed its own Arceus-Damn Chapter.

Yes. Strike me down, Arceus! You're taking this chapter with me!

~*~*~*~

So, willingly, I should clarify.

We're in Oranos Town, the Infernal Cult having a nice comfy hold on it. I was hiding under Pina while the town got 'vaccinated'. I know, it was a stupid idea. Which is why I had no idea what Zenith was up to. I just got this whisper.

"You all fall now."

~*~*~*~

Thankfully, my conversation with Pink was ok.

"What should I call you when you're with that weirdo?" I laughed.

"Pina." Pink snickered.

"Is it because you don't have the guts to smack him?" I frowned.

"The only reason that I won't smack him is because I have a job to do." She blinked.

"And that is?"

"None of your business."

"So smooth with the comeback."

"What do you want, Pink?"

"Zenith. Is he in there?"

"Talking to Mrs. Williams. Be careful."

"Yeah... What's he going to do? Use the sweet elderly woman against me?"

"You're impossible."

"I know you."

"Stop."

"No." When she went in, I noticed the group of people had vanished.

"You better hurry, Pink..."

~*~*~*~

After saving Pink, I had to sit down. Mrs. Williams had said something that had gotten to my head.

'You... you're the Midori of night... Orenji-Injigo...'

My head spun as I blacked out from the thought. How'd she know?

~*~*~*~

Discovering Pink found me wasn't fun. I was still not feeling well before her voice rang in my ears. I hate my life.

"Look who it is." I looked up at her.

"Pink... I should've expected that you'd catch up... darn it..." I rubbed my eyes before she hummed.

"You look like a bomb hit you."

"You're not far from that statement. Taen snuck an attack. We've been doing it for years since I joined that cult. He got me pretty good with the whole 'throw him into the air' plan. I'm trying to figure out if I'm going to make it back to Helios... probably not." She paused

"You're not going up the mountain?" I shook my head before putting it down.

"Not yet. Reukra called, so I'm going back down there."

"Why not go now?"

"I haven't been sleeping in a while. If Audrey was here, I wouldn't be alive." I looked at her. "She requires her cultists to have 8 hours of sleep." I put my head down again. She smiled.

"Well... I'll talk to you later." She said as she went over to get her pokemon. I merely hummed back.

~*~*~*~

Other than that? I beat Taen's ass. That's... it.

Well... I've ranted on enough. If there's something specific you want me to add, let me know.
