Bringing in the ex-prisoners {Open}

[wynnyelle]

Huzza looked up from grazing and nearly let the grass in his mouth fall to the ground when he saw--it.

IT was the enourmous horde of pokemon that suddenly appeared in the clearing, nearly filling the place.

Alcatraz stood in the midst of it, then he wobbled on his legs, and fainted. The effort of teleporting all those pokemon had just been too much for him.

The weak espeon's eyelids fluttered. "Huh...where am I..?"

[Omega]

"You're out of the fortress," replied Sombra, "You're safe now."

"Did you get Zodiac?" asked Veneno to Alcatraz.

[Pidgey]

((What kind of Pokemon is Alcatraz?))

Hibou fell from the sky and landed squarely on his feathered rump with a dull thud. Muttering under his breath, he picked himself up and shook the dust from his feathers. His big yellow eyes flicked from face to face; there were so many pokemon here!

[wynnyelle]

"no, I went all through the prisons and couldn't find him," said Alcatraz. "After all that. But these pokemon have been saved. That counts for something--to them and to me."

Luzia looked at Sombra, her face still looking dazed. "You...saved me." Maybe. She still could not get up. She was so emaciated that her whole rib cage stuck out and she could not even get up on her feet. Her cheekbones were sharp, and her eyes looked too large for her face.

[Omega]

"You've been without food for a while," commented Sombra, "Don't try to get to the ground, stay on my back. I'll get some food for you." The espeon was so thin that her weight was nothing to Sombra's sixty pound body. He could carry her with ease.

[Pidgey]

Hibou waddled over to the strange psychic pokemon that had had saved him, along with all the other pokemon, from the dungeons of the fortress. "Thank you for setting me free, good sir." He hooted. "If there is anything that I can do to repay the favor, I'd be very much obliged."

[wynnyelle]

ooc: He is an arceus.

ic: "You owe me nothing," said Alcatraz. "I didn't do it expecting something in return. That's not what I do."

Luzia could not cling to Sombra's back. She slipped off and landed on the ground, though it wasn' t that far to the ground so she didn't get hurt. "I...don't know if I'm...going to make it. So long...since I had food...water.."

[Omega]

Sombra lifted her onto his back again with her hind legs hanging from his left side while her front legs hung from his right side so she wouldn't fall. "Try your best to hang on, I'm going to take you to the berry groves to get some food into you," said Sombra.

OOC: I'm taking her to Finally!.

[wynnyelle]

"All right..." Luzia dangled limply over his back as she was carried off.

"I need to find some berries and things for all of you, too," said Alcatraz. He realised now, he had a lot of mouths to feed. And as he didn't have hands or even paws, it was going to be difficult for him to gather anything. But he had to try. "Everyone, all those who are healthy, if you're going to stay here you need to help out and help me get food for the sick."

"Ah'll help oot," said the dennukai ram. Huzza looked round at the sorry specimens. "Pawr things...ain't nuffin tuh eats down in that 'ell 'ole."

[Pidgey]

Hibou fluttered his wings eagarly. "These old wings can still carry me far. I'll help you gather some food." He hooted.

((Sry it's rushed. I gtg.))

[wynnyelle]

"Thanks," said Alcatraz as he went to fetch some berries. "There are a lot of berries in this area, though there's more out in the grove...it'd be faster if we just gathered them from around here, though." He picked a cluster of berries and carried it back to one of the most sick pokemon.

[Omega]

"How many prisoners are there?" asked Veneno.

[wynnyelle]

"A lot, I'm not even sure how many, probably around forty," said Alcatraz. "Too many to stay here...but what can I do? I can't tell them to leave. They have to stay here at least till they're well enough to leave on their own. And I teleported in with more. I'm guessing those ones who could leave and wanted to leave already have."

[Pidgey]

Hibou took to the air and set about collecting berries. He selected only the best, and once he had his talons full, he carried his stash to the nearest sick pokemon, a Meowth, setting it down within his reach. "Here you are, son." He hooted softly. And before he could get an answer, Hibou was off again.

[wynnyelle]

"More, more," called several of the prisoners too weak to get their own food. Alcatraz teleported back from the berry grove with several berry clusters dangling from his mouth. He placed them by the neediest prisoners.

[Pidgey]

The next few minutes went by in a blur for Hibou. He flew back and forth, collecting berries and delivering them to the sick and the injured. It was demanding work, and the old Noctowl was forced to take a short rest.

[wynnyelle]

Then it began to rain.

"Oh!" A cubone and a sandshrew began to moan as the rain poured down, weakening them further. A charmander similarly reacted.

"We have to move the ground and fire types to my alcove," said Alcatraz. "Before too much more rain kills them!"

[Omega]

"Rain won't kill ground types, it only weakens them," said Veneno, "The charmander, however, is in trouble."

[Pidgey]

"Let me see what I can do." Hibou hooted. He fluttered over to the lizard, and hooded his wings around him, protecting his delicate tail flame from the wind and rain. Of course, he couldn't stay standing here like this forever. "Maybe I can lift him, and take him somewhere safe." He suggested.
