Location: Trailsau (Team Alola, day 27) Inventory: Good Rod, Antidote, Kasib Berry Well, aside from the raging man at the top of the volcano, Nani liked to believe things had gone pretty well. Not ideal, but passable. Marie said it was time to get going - a sentiment Nani agreed all too well with - but as she descended down the volcano, all that good not-fighting was about to be thrown out the window. "HEATRAN!!!" Uh-oh. Don't do it, Randy. "HEATRAN I'VE COME TO FIGHT!!" Aaaand there he goes. Nani looked up at the climbing Incineroar with an emotion that she wasn't really sure what it was. This idiot was going to get her and Marie killed one day, assuming he didn't get himself killed first. "Come on!" "Nope. I'm gonna go check on the kids. One of us has to." With that, Nani continued further down the volcano. She did feel bad just leaving Randy and Marie to fight this guy, but that wasn't what they were here for in the first place anyway. Besides, like she'd said, somebody had to check in on the kids. Randy wasn't going to, Marie wasn't going to, and Keanu was still missing in action. That just left Nani. And so, down the Mimikyu scaled, eventually reaching the bottom where she was reunited with Trevor and the Larvitars. "Alright, uh, with that detour out of the way... me and my friends up there were asked to, er... make sure you two are doing okay," Nani stated to the kids. Her voice was awkward and she looked like there was more she wanted to say, but wasn't able to piece together what. But at least she got the important stuff out, right? Right.

Marie kept climbing down the volcano, and Heatran's continued proclamations that he needed to fight someone did not stop. She did not at all feel spurred to take action, having already sav- kept the kids from fighting the legend. The mountain being on the precipice of erupting didn't exactly inspire her to stay either. However, as she tried to tune out the legend's roars, the girl could not tune out the challenge coming from below. Letting out a sigh, the girl knew who it belonged to, but still looked to confirm that it was indeed Randy scaling the side of the mountain. As he made his way up there, the Incineroar informed them both of the state of the kids as well as his clear intent to go and fight Heatran. The girl looked at him like he was crazy, just saying, "wait. Randy what are you - Randy!" The girl groaned as she hit her against the mountain's side. Looking to Nani she said, "why did I tell him he could do this?" The girl knew that she did stipulate that he could fight unless she thought it was going to be too dangerous, but at this point there was probably no talking him out of it anyway. And, knowing that he was probably going to get himself killed or over do it, Marie couldn't actually just leave him to his devices. "Ahhhhhhhh!" Yelling to the topic of her lungs she shouted out, "fine! I'll fight you, you big hot head!" With fierce, annoyed, determination in her eyes, she looked to Nani. "Come on!" With that, the girl went back to scaling the mountain. Nine was glad to see that Kayla was free from her near execution, and even more so that they wouldn't have to be dealing with anyone as strong as the man before them. He didn't actually know how strong the Enforcer was, but that he was able to keep an entire village wary from attacking to begin with probably spoke enough about it. As such, Nine gave a small smile as the job was given to them saying, "don't worry. When it comes to dealing with legends and legend issues, you won't have find a better group." From there, Nine waited for the others to get their business done before beginning the travels out. The travel itself was, unfortunately, perhaps among the more dull that he had been on. All around them, there was nothing but gray, dead land. The flora was shriveled and decrepit. The wind was but a breeze yet still cold. As such, the travel was boring and almost monotonous from the lack of new or interesting landmarks around them. If anything, Nine was more impressed that two large villages could live and thrive here for so long. As Gwen made her comment about the legend, Nine curiously looked between her and Lok saying, "oh, I thought you guys would've known who it was." Putting his hand on his chin, he said, "well, if it's like its residents there aren't many ghost legends I can think of. Only one that comes to mind is Hoopa, and I doubt people would put their hopes on a prankster to win a war." Smiling towards Gwen he said, "but, we've had a pretty good track record of meeting friendly legends so far. So, I bet we can make good with this one too." Nine's eyes briefly glanced to Kayla, who had seemed troubled, but didn't quite know what to say to the girl. While she had a lot on her mind, he couldn't help but feel that she didn't want to talk about it in front of the ghosts, and so he made a note to ask her later.

These were a couple cards I found a couple days ago. They seem pretty interesting, and after testing them out for a bit, they tend to work out pretty well. Flame Bufferlo Level 3 / Fire / Cyberse / Effect 1400 attack / 200 defense Effect: If this face-up card leaves the field: You can discard 1 Cyberse monster, and if you do, draw 2 cards. You can only use this effect of "Flame Bufferlo" once per turn. Backup Secretary Level 3 / Light / Cyberse / Effect 1200 attack / 800 defense Effect: If you control a Cyberse monster, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). You can only Special Summon "Backup Secretary" once per turn this way. They feel like nice budget options for the deck. Flame Bufferlo has a pretty nice draw effect that can help you dig for your combo pieces. You can even chain block with it's effect by using it as a link material for Balelynx ( Doing Bufferlo as CL1, and Balelynx as CL2 ). The card doesn't even discard for cost, so if your opponent hits it with something like called by the grave, you don't lose any advantage. Being that it can put Salamangreats in the GY, it can help you set up effects like Spinny and Foxy, and set up Gazelle's hand effect, all while drawing 2 new cards. It being a level 3 also allows it to be used as an Xyz material for Mirage Stallio, and being a fire monster allows it to be used for Sunlight Wolf and Heatleo. Backup Secretary is a nice budget alternative to Pyschic Wheelder. It does a very similar thing, special summoning itself from the hand, but has an added utility to it. While Wheelder only summons itself while you control a level 3 monster, Secretary can summon itself if you control any Cyberse type monster. This means that if you control things like Mole, Meer, Fowl, Jack Jaguar, or Falco, you can still summon it from your hand. Being a level 3 Cyberse gives it the utility of being possible Link material for Balelynx, or Xyz material for Stallio. These cards seem pretty neat. From what I've tested so far, they work with Salamangreats pretty well.
