Agrakai: "Oh, you're still here, Miss?" -He turned to face the Audino, nodding to her- "Yes, the FLA, the Flygon Liberation Army they call themselves... such terrorists, i have no place for them in my world i and currently making with my ally i have put in power." -He said, nodding to Flygarra, the Timid FLygon Leader nodded back and tugged nervously at his Agal Head Dress, still nervous to battle him, even if they had some time ago.-
Agrakai: "Speaking of Ally, I haven't heard from Mr. Kundee of Australius Island (Canon Kangaroo Territory Name) in a while... I should send an envoy just to check up on him and his kind... they are such a unique people, living down somewhere deep in the south of this world we all inhabit."
Flygarra: "I really wonder how Chi-evolved beings managed to travel to these far-out islands, and how they can keep tabs and communmicae with us here on this continent most of the tribes of CHima all live on." -He said, pondering how Chi must've gotten to Australius Island and the Ferros Atolls." (Canon Aggron Territory Name)
Agrakai: "Good question Mr. Draconia... though communications tech has improved drastically over these last 150 years, I often also wonder... why we Pokemon are here on this magical world... it must've been some clash from long, long ago that brought all of us unique monsters here to this world."
Flyzeinab: "Yeah yea, WHEN CAN I SEE A BATTLLEEEEEE~?!?!" -she whined out lloudly, the two tribal leaders turned to the female flygon and gave her a rash look-
FLygarra: "Geez, sister! Calm yourself down, we'll battle when the time is right!"
Agrakai: "And we battle like the beings we are, our own internal moves we have forever remembered after all these years. Pokemon battles of this caliber is considered taboo in today's society, but between two world leaders, it's a spectator sport of epic proportions... -sigh- i remember those large stadiums, filled with crowds upon the thousands, all cheering my master to defeat his opponent and his own Pokemon... those were the days..." -he sighed, scratching his rusted chin remorsefully.-
Flygarra: "Y-yes, Agrakai, i remember my own master very well when we fought together... as allies..."
"I had a Master too," Love fondly remembers. "A Nurse Joy who tried her best at everything! She was so kind, yet so insecure at times...I hope she's alright. I know I can't go back, but I hope she's found another Audino to help take care of the patients at that Pokémon Center..."
"I bet she misses you," the Indeedee replied, "as does mine. A Galarian Nurse Joy who was heartbroken by all the injuries she faced working at the Center...in my spare time I would always try to make her feel better, but something else would always break her heart...my brother is still there. Perhaps he is taking care of her."
"But let's get back to work before Patience scolds us again. " She turns to Agrakai. "Well, Mr. President, how are you now? Do you need anything? Perhaps some food or drink? "
Agrakai: “Although you aren’t my secratary, i would love the hydration before due battle. A Full Reatore and Max Elixir is in full order, one for me and my sparring partner.”
-Lucky for the Zorua, the little girl had managed to illusion herself to blend into the rather ghostly, undead, icy zombie guards comprised of Team Plasma and Skull grunts. The Others were soon halted by a wall of icy shields and Spear-tips made out of a part of their souls that had fiery proportions, stopping the group at a draw-bridge made of winter pines held by frosted steel chains.-
Undead Spirit Guard A: "Halt, identify yourself or you all shalt not pass this point in Kastle Koldheart!"
Undead Spirit Guard B: "If you wish to have an audience with her majesty herself, i suggest you make an appointment before arriving first!"
-the guards soon banged their spear tips against their icy shields, said banging making ghastly noises to drive away the intruders and chanted--
-The Illusioned Zorua begins slipping away from the group, undetected by them, sneaking into the opened kastle...-
"Okay," Adam admitted, "this is terrifying."
"The Zorua's gone," Aurelie muttered under her breath. "I'm sorry," she said louder. " I was just following my friends to make sure they don't get into trouble!" She wasn't sure what would happen if she mentioned the Zorua.
"Aurie," Todd replied, " getting into trouble is what we do. "
"But I'm just saying, we need to stay together- oh, it's so loud..." Aurie was clearly bothered by the noise, her tiny hands reaching shakily for her huge ears. "I wish soldiers were quiet...I hate noise! "
"Maybe it's best if you step outside for a while, Aurie," Adam told her.
" Or you can stuff your ears with your scarf, " Hikaru replied.
"I wear my scarf," Aurie muttered, a bit uncomfortable with the suggestion.
"Okay, does anyone have a soundproof hat?" Hikaru shouted to no avail.
" Well, I'll just go... " But something was preventing her from leaving; perhaps the desire to protect her friends if something goes wrong. Or perhaps the fact that she was freezing in her coat and boots. She covers her ears, overwhelmed by the noise.
"You might wanna quiet down!" the Pikachu yells over the banging. "You should know Audino are extremely sensitive to loud noise! It's loud to us, but it's deafening to her!"
"It's not like they'll listen to you," Todd retorted, then sighed and used Vine Whip to block Aurie's hearing for her.
" My ears, " Aurie said in a faint voice. By now she has dropped all the berries. "They ring...oh, it hurts..."
Todd sighed. " I'll take her outside. Come on, Aurie. "
Todd escorted Aurelie out of the building, where she immediately passed out in his arms.
-the Zombie Goasts humans (in front of a house) eyes’ faded out from red to a light blue and went half-closed. They all stirred and soon went back to their posts and patrols like if nothing happened. Not knowing of the Zorua that has Spy’ed past their icy shield wall...-
-Inside Kastle Koldheart, wandering the frosted stone-block walls, Zorolia wandered around, taking in her surroundings. She was still Illusioned as one of those guards. She looked confused and weary of these frosted surroundings before she began to hear a voice...-
-She turned her head around a corner and peered at the detective-dressed Gumshoos and the Orange-tracksuited Victini with large round-lensed glasses-
Gick Gumshoo: “Miss Majesty is all depressed again, what are we gonna do about it?” -he said in a mournful way-
Vic Vector: “Like if i really kinda sorta maybe care. She’s old, weak, and useless in battle without an wall of troops guarding her! How are we gonna care for her?! She’s Lazy and absolutely useless!” -he said, crossing his arms, his large orange ears twitching-
Gick: “Dauh... i dunno...”
Vic: -facepalms- “Ugh dear...working with Normal Types...” -he said, draping his hands over his face in a disbelieving way-
Gick: “Gee im sorry, boss I—“
Vic: “AUGH!! JUST—“ -he huffed and growled- “Alright then... i hope to Arceus we get Flygarra with us or otherwise Kyuru’s just gonna die without him!”
-they began walking off in the direction of the Great Hall and Throne Room.-
OOC: No, I'm waiting more for TheFirstDecade . We need answers about these dimensional portals.
IC: The snow leopards go deeper into the ruins, looking for the link between Cavora and the portals that the various Pokémon species came to Chima through.
OOC: Ah, all right.
(OOC: I, uh, already did that, it has been through moderation and has been posted.)
"The Zorua's gone," Aurelie muttered under her breath. "I'm sorry," she said louder. " I was just following my friends to make sure they don't get into trouble!" She wasn't sure what would happen if she mentioned the Zorua.

-they began walking off in the direction of the Great Hall and Throne Room.-
-Zorolia nodded and began following them as well-
Todd lay Aurelie on the ground and shook her awake. "Aurie. It's stopped."
The Audino blinked her eyes open and massaged the feelers on her ears. "Thank you," she muttered, getting up, then stumbling as if dizzy, struggling to hold herself up. She staggered to a nearby bush where Todd heard a pitiful splashing sound.
"Are you alright?" Todd asked.
" Something you should know, " the Audino replied breathlessly, "is that the condition of an Audino's ears...affects their overall health."
"So by a mere earache, everything goes wrong?" Todd asked, mostly to himself.
" Unfortunately, yes," she replied, turning around, exhausted. "Audino-level hearing has its side affects."
"Did you hear anything else?" Todd asked.
"Um, I think so..." Aurelie put a hand to her chin in thought. "Mm...oh, I did hear footsteps. They disappeared after a while, but I heard something like another ghost gliding across the floor."
"You can hear ghost footprints?"
"Actually, I hear them quite plainly. And every type of ghost has a different sound. Some are more like if you drag a sheet across the floor. Others sound more like the scraping of metal, and-"
"...Okay, okay, I get it." But Todd was secretly amazed by her ability to hear.
Meanwhile, in the castle...
"Hey, did you see something back there?" Akari asked her twin brother with curiosity.
"Nope, why? "
"Cause I did. Let's follow it. "
"Follow what? " Hikaru asked, but followed his sister anyway because she was already running off.
(OoC: Chances are, when an Audino asks if you heard something, you didn't. )
OOC: Wait, are they actually there fighting, or are they seeing paintings on the wall?
IC: Leopard: "Eternal chi slots? And who or what are those beings? What's going on here?"
(OOC: Paintings on the walls.)
-The art looks very complex for being ancient. They also showed numerous figures being dropped from the portals into the world of chima, the two more abundant ones were obviously Flygons and Aggrons. These paintings must’ve been drawn by some tribe whom witnessed these events, they looked fairly draconic with some signatures written in a very old script whilst most were faded over time to be illegible, some of the wisest leopard lorekeepers could probably decipher these names...-
The snow leopards have artists among them draw multiple copies of the wall art on high quality paper scrolls. These scrolls are stored in a bag labeled "top priority". The snow leopards leave Cavora, and return to the ice castle in the north, where the scrolls are shown to King Leonardo.
Leonardo: "I see. So the portals were a causation of a battle between two beings, presumably from the same world the Pokémon came from. In any case, we'll need to somehow stop these beings from fighting, to stop the portals from appearing. The Pokémon species that have ended up in Chima so far have blended well with this world and its tribes, as they don't seem to have any particular supernatural powers that can give them a dangerous edge in war... however, as far as we know, it's only a matter of time before extremely powerful beings from their universe, be they power hungry or primitive, fall through the portals and ravage Chima... and what if the two fighting beings themselves bring their battle here? In any case, let's first see who painted these things. If they aren't extinct, they should be able to tell us more."

Lorekeeper A: "This name, it's a strange one... many other names we've translated look pointing to be heavily Draconic, something from many centuries ago when those Dragons had destroyed much of the land the other tribes of Chima have tried to protect... i have written down one name that looks like it wasn't from them, 'Reshiruna Blazins'. I have no idea whom that is..." -he shrugs, pondering about the name, looking at the signature-
Lorekeeper B: "Another name akin to what he has discovered, 'Zekruno Terravoltis'. I have no idea whom this person either, they do sound masculine though, although for this 'Reshiruna', it sounds rather feminine... but whomever these two are... they must have some sort of connections to the dragons of olde..." -he said, scratching his beard inquisitively-
Lorekeeper A: "Whomever these two are, I theorize they must be actual Pokemon whom had been victims of the embattled figures in the painting, the two named we found interesting were possibly exposed to Chi very early on when they came to Chima via the two embattled figures... i believe we need to ask Queen Kyuru for help if we were to get any more pointers into this... and maybe give her another chance to have an embassy here. That first try was a fluke.."
Lorekeeper B: "But... i have also found... another name, a name you may feel fear or tragedy in, King Leonardo..." -he said, hesitating- "...a signature from the Dragon Tribe's actual leader... Draconida Malafoyus Hassan... Otherwise you have known him as just 'Draco Malfoy'." -the leopard said, looking bleak in his face-
Lorekeeper A: "I also had the scribes make copies of the works on the walls, isolating the two battling figures, here are some more realistic drawings of them..." -he said, soon handing them over to the king, pretend they are Acrylic paintings and look mostly altered in shape and color since they were hastily drawn from a cave depiction, hey i didn't have access to a good paint program on this laptop rn! - (OOC: Just a placeholder name, if you like it, canonize it, if not, make Leonardo remember his real name and correct the Leopard whom had read it wrong.)

Can I contribute a possible tribe(s)/sub-thing? (Could be a branch of an aquatic tribe.)
Splatoon - Inklings and Octarians/Octolings
-Inklings and Octolings were on good terms until a great war over land created animosity between them. -Octarian society is generally evil, known for brainwashing and oppression. -After a battle that freed many Octolings from said brainwashing, many escaped to the surface, integrating with Inkling society. These Octolings are generally docile. -Other Octolings are loyalists who still fight for an evil cause. They love tormenting their opponents. -Most Inklings, especially if they live in cities, are either laid-back and cheerful, or sport loud, boisterous personalities. They love to look "fresh" in the latest fashions and participate in sports involving ink-based weapons. Spawn points are set around the maps, so no one is harmed. -Country and rural Inklings exist. They usually live in tight-knit communities. -Octolings are generally quiet, loyal, and good with their hands. They enjoy repairing weapons and machines. -Many Octolings have trouble speaking the common tongue, having been underground for too long to learn it effectively. As such, many use poor grammar and have notable accents. -Despite this, Inklings still seem to think they are squids with weird hair. -There is an Inkling organization known as the New Squidbeak Splatoon that fights the hostile Octarians. Details are kept secret.
Non-canon information:
They could store their Chi in a special part of their ink tanks (which they wear during battles to store ink for their weapons). There could possibly be a special chi-infused ink? Canonically, Octarians are lead by DJ Octavio; however, I can make up a character if canon characters are not allowed. Same for the Squidbeak Splatoon leader; canonically, they have Cap'n Cuttlefish.
Inklings.
Friendly Octolings.
A hostile Octoling.
Several non-humanoid Octarian mooks. Made to follow orders. Not evolved; wish to get their nonexistent paws on Chi so they can.

How many?
(OOC: three, Pokemon (Flygon, Aggron, Kyuru’s “faction”, and various others like your Audino), Zelda (Cuckoos, although they are inactive and were kinda not taken seriously so I wouldn’t count them anymore as a “tribe”), and Mario (Koopa Tribe).)
(OOC: three, Pokemon (Flygon, Aggron, Kyuru’s “faction”, and various others like your Audino), Zelda (Cuckoos, although they are inactive and were kinda not taken seriously so I wouldn’t count them anymore as a “tribe”), and Mario (Koopa Tribe).)
The Jbatonmaster500 Is a minor Inkling/Octoling tribe OK? It doesn't have to be major, and it's not like they have a prominent king/leader (other than DJ Octavio for Octarians). I could also not use canonical characters if it helps. Locations like Inkopolis, Octo Valley/Canyon, and the Deep-Sea Metro could be modified or removed entirely. My idea for a location could be somewhere by the sea, a beach-y area since they're sea creatures? It's OK if it's a small area, like Inkopolis and the Octarian underground, but not a whole country, because I sort of jumped into this, and if they traveled they would more likely travel to other tribes.
As for the effects of Chi, they could be like in-game Abilities? (Abilities are built into clothes, hats and shoes, and give you stuff like more weapon power, stealth, speed, and/or better defense.) Chi could be woven into Inkling gear to grant them said abilities, instead of being worn on a harness. It could explain gear abilities quite well while also retaining the modern aesthetic of Splatoon.
Inklings and Octolings do have their own languages. Inkling is generally spoken in a higher pitch and has varying pronunciation rules, from almost alien-sounding (possibly slang) to fairly normal. Octarian, in comparison, has a more consistent set of rules. Inkling can be compared to Asian languages while Octarian sounds slightly more European.
Inklings often learn the common tongue in school, hear it during travel or around visitors, and have a good grasp of it. Many Octolings, having lived in isolation most of their lives, have trouble speaking both Inkling and common tongue, so they have notable accents and make a lot of mistakes.
Inkling and Octarians have close relations with other aquatic tribes.
Their main diets are (non-evolved) seafood, fruits and vegetables, and various drinks, such as juice, coffee and tea.
They cannot be submerged in water, as that either smashes them or temporarily "splats" them, due to delicate skin.
Note: Is something this humanoid allowed? I mean, it technically counts as an anthropomorphic animal, doesn't it? (If it doesn't, I'll find Octodad stick to Pokémon. )

OoC: Sorry then. I just love Splatoon and I thought squid kids would make sense in an RP about anthropomorphic animals.
