"A Midnight Lycanrok, eh? Those things are powerful, but they do best at countering attacks, so using Rock Throw to block arrows doesn't come as a surprise. Not to mention Rock Throw is a pretty basic move, especially as a Lycanrok," Hummer explained.

Hunter nodded, then said, *thats the problem. You know how Dialga and Palmia said stuff about space and time getting screwed up? Well, I think Im being directly affected. I can only become Pokmon now. Watch.*

then, he backed up, and became a large gecko, and suddenly became a Treeko. He sighed and said, *thats what Im talking about. Its worrying me. What happening to me? And is this gonna be permanent?*

Hummer shook her head. "Sorry. I wouldn't know that kind of thing. I barely know where we are right now," Scot continued to scream in the background. "Can somebody make that bird shut up?" Hummer growled.

Loin walked over, growled something at the bears, and one of them simply covered Scots beak with a paw. *shut up.*

Lion nodded an approvale, and faced the archers, which looked nervous. Loin said, with a glare of authority, *Archers. You have shot at my sons guests of honor. The price is the same, and final. The Carnivore Caves.* The archers paled at that, but nodded and began walking towards the guards, which were holding large shackles.

*now hang on!* Pyro said, walking forward. *with all due respect, Your Majesty, Hawk has told me a bit about the Carnivore Caves. You cant just send your archers to death becuase they shot at us, me included!*

Lions red eyes narrowed, and he glared at Pyro. *i wish I could save them. But it is law. If anybody threatens the leaders, the leaders descendants, and the royal guests of honor, the price is life in the Carnivore Caves. Give me a reason to save them, that doesnt defy the law.*

Pyro looked at Hummer with a look that said, help me! These archers lives depend on it!

Hummer swooped down and landed in front of the lion on all fours. They were about the same height.

"Sir, I'm not sure how your law works and all, but I'll tell you what I do know; on my world, unprovoked attacks are not uncommon. These archers didn't know any better that we were not a threat. In your son's words, they were simply following orders; your orders. Had they not fired, they would've broken said orders, correct? So if anyone is guilty for them firing on royal guests, it's you. Think about that a sec,"

She exhaled softly as she waited for a response.

Loin froze, eyed Hummer, Pyro, and Hawk, and suddenly began laughing. He chuckled, then laughed, and eventually was heaving from laughing, tears in his eyes. When he stopped, he wiped the tears from his eyes and said, *well, I never thought about it that way. You certainly have a wise mouth, Hummer. Alright, Ill make sure my archers arent punished, and replace their shifts with the next shift, which will gets raise. Happy?*

Hawk and the cobra nodded. Pyro thought about it a bit and also nodded. *im fine with that.*

Hummer grinned and nodded. "Happy," She walked over to Pyro and whispered, "Ya like that? Course you did. I was wondering when Nettle's rhetoric lessons would come in handy,"

Scot shoved the bear's paw away and let out a whoop. "You showed 'im realllll good, mate!"

"SHUT UUUUP." Hummer moaned.

Flash waved his tail from behind Hunter.

Pyro chuckled, then stopped and looked at Hummer. *wait, you take lessons? I thought you never have time!*

The bear just sighed, whistled (for some reason), and another grabbed a large, but surprisingly light, metal bolt and stuffed it on Scots beak. *shut up.*

Hunter turned and asked, *what is it?*

Loin roared suddenly, getting everybodys attention. *RIGHT! Archers, head to you Caves and treehouses. Guards, head to the barracks. Hawk, you and your friends will come with me and Cobra to dine with us at the castle. I wish to know what has brought you home, with new companions no less. Carno, servants tunnels. Now.*

Carno flinched and nodded. *yes, Your Majesty.*

"Where'd you get that idea?" Hummer asked, then paused. "Do you think that just becuase I spend most of my time hunting down outlaws means that's my life?*"

"Mm-mmh-mmmmm-m-mm-MM!" Scot managed to angerliy express. "MMMH-M!"

(*You can say yes.)

Pyro gulped. *um... yes? Also, if you try to attack me, dont forget who can Mega - no, Giga Evolve. Dont try me.*

The bears chuckled, and one said, *you can get it off when you shut up, ok? Just nod.*

Loin roared. *move!*

The archers left towards the villages, most of the bears left to the barracks, and Carno waved goodbye and ran to a long tunnel. Loin turned, flicked his tail in a come gesture, and began walking to the palace. Cobra followed, and Hawk perched on Loins head.

Pyro looked at Loin, then faced Hummer and said, *anyway, we gotta move.*
