Oink Marches On

[Nishrocks]

All three torkoal went flying, and disappeared into the sky, team rocket style.

The others fled. Before doing so, one turned to Oink.

<You truly ARE the goddess Igna! I will accept chieftaincy of the Torkinah-ha tribe, and rebuild it in your honour! Under the chieftaincy of Hai-Ka, you will venerate a new chapter of glory for us!>

With that, Hai-ka marched the Torkoal underground again, liberating the Kapa'uaua once more.

The growlithe turned to Oink.

<Oh, great goddess Igna, please, please stay as our Chieftainess! We are truly honoured to be in your prescence!>

He pulled his best Puppy Dog eyed look.

[Pigmeister]

Okay. Now came the hard part. Oink sighed. <Look,> said she, <I'm not a goddess. I'm a Pokemorph. A Pokemorph is a person who can morph into a Pokemon. I'm not a goddess. I would love to stay, but I have to finish my Pokemon journey.> She hesitated. <After I finish my journey, I will return. Okay?> With that, she morphed back into her "regular" self. "Thank you all!" she called before walking off. <Bye!> called Twig to the Geodude, waving his front leg. <See you again soon!> He followed Oink.

[Nishrocks]

<Oh..>
The growlithe had been lied to.
Although, now that he thought about it, she'd never said she was a goddess....
But, she'd never said she wasn't.

Was she just a trainer?
No... there had been other trainers walk past.
This one was different.
She was kind,
thoughtful,
and she fought for those who couldn't.
She was there when you needed her.
Maybe she didn't know it, but she WAS Igna, or at least what Igna represents.

<I understand, trainer. But it was Igna's will that we meet, and that you save us. And it is Igna's will that I accompany you...>

The growlithe felt bad for lying
The growlithe felt bad for going off with a trainer and leaving his family
The growlithe felt bad for not even knowing this trainer's name
But this trainer was so special, Growlithe had to.
And Growlithe would fight for her.
Growlithe would keep her safe.

The growlithe ran up Fiery Path, to where Oink was.
<Take me with you!>

And before Oink had time to resist, the Growlithe had taken a pokeball, and put himself inside it.

Oink forcibly gained Growlithe

"Okay, you can come with us." Oink said. "Oh, shoot. Too late." She shrugged. No matter by force or not, she was glad to have the Growlithe on the team. "Thanks." she whispered, continuing down the route.

[Nishrocks]

To her left were the ember cliffs. There were firebursts periodically from the caves along the cliff face.
To her right was mount inferno. There seemed to be some sort of dance going on.
Ahead of her was an Onix, slithering past.

[Pigmeister]

Before the girl could decide which way to go, Twig ran up to the Onix. <Hi!> he exclaimed. <Do you know Sparkle? You're much bigger than Sparkle. Do you eat vitamins? Oink tries to make me eat Poffins, but I only like the sweet ones. I guess those are sort of like vitamins. What kind of Poffin do YOU like? Ooh! What about cupcakes? Do you like cupcakes?> The Turtwig started singing.

<Cuppycakes
Cuppycakes
Makes my life
Feel so great
Chocolate with sprinkles
Without them toooooooo...>

On and on he went. His singing voice wasn't that bad, but he seemed detirmined to list every kind of cupcake. He was still on the different varieties of chocolate and going strong.

[Nishrocks]

The Onix turned to the trainer.

<That's a ... special ... pokemon you've got there. So... I s'ppose you're just passing through. Hey! You look kinda familiar....> The Onix then slid back. <No way! are you the Great Goddess Igna? That's what everyone's saying! Yeep! So, um... will you sign my tail?> The fan-onix held out his tail loyally.

[/center]

[Pigmeister]

"Erm...I'm not Igna..." Oink muttered, her face turning red. "My name is Oink..."

Twig was STILL singing.

<Chocolate with one blue sprinkle...
Chocolate with TWO blue sprinkles...
Chocolate with THREE blue sprinkles....>

[/i]

This could take a while.O.o

[Nishrocks]

<Shhh!> said the Onix. Beckoning closer, he whispered to Oink. <I know that, but see my friends over there? They really DO think you're Igna, After all, you transformed. But, the thing is... They kinda bully me, so If I could get the signature of a famous person, they'd finally respect me!>

[Pigmeister]

"Mkay." Oink shrugged. "But this may sting a bit." She blew a little bit of fire, and with it scorched "Oink" onto the Onix's tail. Almost as an afterthought, she put "(Igna)" along with it. "There you go!" she exclaimed.

<Chocolate with 29 green sprinkles...
Chocolate with 30 green sprinkles...>

[/i]

God, and think of all the different kinds of cupcakes.

[Nishrocks]

<Booyah!>

The Fan-onix went and mumbled something to his friends. One of the other onix came up to her.

<He's saying you gave him a date. Please say you'll date me instead, Igna. Thing is, they kinda bully me, but if I could get a date from a famous person, they'd respect me more!>

[/center]

[Pigmeister]

<Oh Mew.> Oink muttered to herself. <Look, fellows.> she said. <I like you all, but I have to move on. No offense, but I don't think a giant group of Onixes following me around would work out so great.> She smiled shyly.

[Nishrocks]

The Onix smiled sweetly.
<Anything for you>

He rejoined the group. He said something to them, and disbelief from them was obvious.

A third one came up.

<That onix said you gave him a date. Course, if you married me, he couldn't date you. See, they kinda bully me, but if I got married to you , well, that's be great!>

[Pigmeister]

<Okay, this is getting ridiculous.> Oink cried. <I'm leaving now!> She ran. Stupid fans.

[Nishrocks]

There was an odd shaking beneath the ground. And the volcano shook dangerously.

A Charmander was wandering down the road.

[Pigmeister]

<Hey! Little dude!> Oink called to the Charmander. <Hey, why's the ground shaking?> She ran up to him, barely keeping her balance on the wobbly ground. <I'm a little new here, I'm afraid...>

[Nishrocks]

<I'm not sure...> said the Charmander nervously. <I've been sent down Inferno Mountain by my tribe to make sure the other tribes are okay. We're in a pretty bad shape over there, this ground-shake has caused our houses to collapse! I'm from the Kran'and-na, in case you didn't know,> said the little pokemon, puffing up it's chest proudly.

[/center]

[Pigmeister]

<Oh. That sort of sucks that your houses fell down...Wish I could help, but strength isn't really my thing.> Oink said, half of her brain trying to make sure that she didn't fall down.

Then she saw Nero over a hill. <Aha! THERE he is!>

She turned to the Chamander.<It was great talking to you. Try going to the Torkoals. They must know a lot about the ground.> She smiled at him, then went bounding after Nero. If you listened closely, you could here a string of cusswords floating rom her mouth.
