(OOC: I can possibly see that, i actually had that thought when i sorta wanted to make a Pikachu tribe at the conception of this entire RP, where their leader was a very elderly Raichu that was Ash's Pikachu, and only spoke it's own "name tongue" and not the regular chimian language because it refused to give into this "chi evolution" nonsense. But if anything, all Pokemon could understand each other, regardless of their "name tongue". Think of Meowth from the anime translating a non-English Pokemon's "words". It really wouldn't hide anything, really, to other Pokemon, only making it harder for non-Pokemon to understand it.)
OoC: That's a pretty interesting idea. I wonder if Pokemon sometimes break into "Pokespeak" when they feel certain emotions or whatever, like how someone's accent might slip when they're angry or something. It could also be a verbal tic occasionally, like with "Meowth! That's right!" I can imagine Pokemon being the most likely to have some sort of verbal tic unless someone initiates an Animal Crossing tribe or something.

OOC: Chima is sci-fantasy Animal Crossing.
(OOC; thats gotta be the best descriptor ever for this entire sub franchise in lego. )

-Malvasia nodded to the Audion, gladly accepting her offer as she casually coddles Todd close to her with a loving aura to her-
-A few miniutes later, Kyuru exited her dressing room, clothed in her Elsa-like dress and began to slowlylumber along to her throneroom, not paying any attention to the others around her, complete autopilot if you will.-
Aurelie, of course, hears the heavy footsteps of the Ice-Dragon and follows them. Once she gets there, she gives a little curtsy and says, "Um...pardon me, but I have a question." She gets closer, swallowing hard. "Would you perhaps know anything about this?"
She shows Kyuru the image on her camera. It's a wall of ice, with a peculiar, pink-and-cream stone embedded into it.
"I know it's an Audinite, but what is it doing here?"
-after having sat down on her ornate icy throne, Kyuru looked intrigued by this image and drawls-
Kyuru: "iiiiiiiiiii Ssssseeeee..." -inhale- "...iiiiiii dooooo nnnnoooot knnnnnooooowww..." -inhales- "...hhhhoooowwww thaaaaaaat gooooot theeeeerrree..." -she'd says in her monotonous long moan-
Gick: "Eeehhh, must've been swept up from the ground as the Queen was raising her castle." -the Gumshoos said scratching his head-
Miliani Mallie: "Should we get that for you, Miss..?" -The Shiny Primarina woman said-
IC: *Ppyrr jumps on a big boulder.* "PIRANHAS! STAND DOWN!"
Both the Turtle and Piranha tanks come to a screeching halt. Tyron’s group walks across the now silent battlefield to where Ppyrr is. Unaware that Pedro slipped through, Typhoon and his forces still maintain the barrier.
Tyron: “So... do you piranhas have any clue as to what just happened? There were thousands of other orange beams in the sky, along with the one that Pirex turned into. I can only assume it had something to do with Pirex’s status as a zombie, but... does that mean someone else had been commanding an entire army of zombies elsewhere in Chima??”

-The other pokemon look twoards the Audino and gave her a reassuring look-
Aurelie: What do you mean by that? Do you mean you want me to keep it? -Despite herself, her heart starts to flutter. It beats loudly in her ears. She stops for a moment, looking a bit concerned.- It's embedded in that wall of ice pretty deeply. I think we're going to need some work. Can anyone remove it from its place without significantly damaging the wall? Perhaps with some sort of psychic power, or...maybe Todd or Malvasia could use their vines, although...m-maybe not? I dunno.

IC: *Ppyrr jumps down.* "No, but Pirex is gone. Im stunned. It must be. Well, Pirex would have to have had someone do that to him. So I guess that someone did it a lot more to his own advantage? Where did all those zombies go though? Is Piratox gone as well?"

Tyron calls the Turtle HQ on his radio, then turns to Ppyrr.
Tyron: “No, it looks like Piratox is still there, maybe due to the fact that he’s frozen. Do we know who resurrected Pirex and Piratox?”
Piranha: “I heard Pirex yelling “Saleem” just now.”
Turtle: “That’s a snake name, I believe.”
Tyron: “Alright, our lead to figuring all this out is this Saleem, then.”

-Sir arano tapped Aure on her shoulder to gather her attention, the Audino turned, and soon, Presented right before the lovely Audino, was the megastone she was looking for, sparkling in it's rainbow like color indeed-
-Kyuru smiled under her frozen shut mouth, making a deep and slow chuckle-
Kyuru: "Ffffffiiiinnnnaaaalllllyyyy... Iiiiii'llll..." -inhales- "...geeeeeeeet toooooooo ssssseeeeeee yyyyyooouuuu..." -inhales- "...mmmmmeeeeegaaaaaaa eeeeevvvvooolllvvvveee..." -inhales- "...beeeeeefffooorrrrreeeee mmmmmyyyy eeeeeeeyyyeeeeeesssss..." -she'd drawl longinly, clasping her claws together in anticipation of this lovely event-
Sir Arano: "You can thank me later, muy dear chica." -he'd snicker-

Sir Arano: "You can thank me later, muy dear chica." -he'd snicker-
Aurelie: Alright. I'll do my best!
Todd: Look at that! It's beautiful! Too bad Adam and the others aren't here to see it. I mean, they're probably still lost, haha...
Aurelie: Ready, everyone?
Todd: Ready.
Aurelie: Alright. Time to Mega Evolve. Wait...I need a Key Stone, don't I? -gasps- Wait! Mama's jewel!
-The rabbit-like creature reaches into her bag and pulls out a rainbow-colored stone glimmering with Chi-infused power.-
Aurelie: Before she passed, my mother entrusted me with this. I didn't know exactly how precious it was until now. -She smiles at her friends.- Alright, my friends! It's time to Mega Evolve!
-The Audino glows with a rainbow energy. In a shimmering spectacle, her ears perk up, her feelers get longer, and the pattern on her fur blossoms into a flared coat. Her blue eyes turn ruby-red, and the pink in her fur turns white. A tuft appears on her chest like a clasp to that jacket, and pure white feelers form under that. On her feet, white fur forms boots. Aurelie looks absolutely stunned. She wants to ask how she looks, but only "Audino" comes out; a small price to pay for such a spectacle.-
Todd: Aurelie, you look stunning!
Aurelie: Audi...audino? You understand me? -note: from now on i'll use italics to translate pokemon speech-
Todd: Of course we understand. We're Pokemon. Negotiations with other tribes may not go well though.
-Aurelie plays with one of her chest feelers for a little bit, until something comes to her attention.-
Aurelie: Our friends! They're coming this way!
Todd: Great! Great. -frantically waves arms- OVER HERE, GUYS!
Aurelie: -sighs, holding her hands to her ears- I don't think they can see you from where they are...
-A bit later...-
Adam: Guys! I can't believe we found y- -glances toward Aurelie- Who are you and where's Aurelie!?
Aurelie: Don't panic, everyone. I'm Aurelie. I've Mega Evolved. It should subside in a bit.
Hikaru: Cooool!
Allen: Yeah!
Akari: Whatever she's done, these guys seem to trust her.
-Aurelie devolves.-
Adam: What was it like? Did it hurt? I heard Mega Evolution can be extremely painful!
Aurelie: Oh, for me? Not really. The worst thing was that the boost in my sense of hearing made my ears even more sensitive.
Saleem: “An octoling I collaborated with to finally achieve resurrection alchemy. He’d been planning to overthrow his own tribe, and provided me with his tribe’s own alchemical research notes. The plan was that our zombie army would launch an assault on Octo Valley after wrapping up the usurping of Sa’Quala, but now...”
Saleem calls Othaurus on his radio.
Saleem: “Othaurus, was this your doing?!”
Othaurus: “Hoy, Saleem! Been a while since we talked—”
Saleem: “WAS THIS YOUR DOING?! What did you put in the resurrection formula??”
Othaurus: “Eh? Nothing that wasn’t necessary. I helped you make a revival potion the only way it could be made, as promised. Sorry I had to lie to you about what our zombie army’s true purpose would be.”
Saleem: “True purpose?!?! What about our plan!? We were going to help each other overthrow our tribes’ leaders! But no... you had an ulterior motive, and you only care about your own goals!”
Othaurus: “Nay, you misunderstand. Thanks to your help, not only will the leaders of our tribes be taken down, all of Chima’s corruption will be erased.”
Saleem: “What in Cavora are you talking about?! Are you in some kind of cult or—?!”
Othaurus: “Why do you not understand, Saleem? The Dragons will purge the world of the filth that plagues it. This is helping your tribe, and all the tribes.”
Saleem: “The Dragons? How will this help the Snake Tribe?! Do you know how many Snake citizen casualties you’ve caused today by removing my helicopters of their pilots?!”
Othaurus: “It’s tragic, but sacrifices are necessary for a better tomorrow. Life is taken to sustain life. Such is the way of nature.”
Saleem: “You’re disgusting! I’ve never met someone acting more high-and-mighty than this. You’d better hope I don’t get my hands on you, Otha—!”
On his end, Othaurus smashes the radio, and turns to the dragons, who are regaining consciousness.
Othaurus: “I guess he wouldn’t understand, but it’s not his fault... Despicable, how Krellix erased the people’s memories and fed them lies about the Dragons. Convincing others of the truth will be a challenge indeed.”
The King of Dragons stands and stretches.
Drakonus: “Thanks, kid. Because of your good deed, I can restore this world to how it’s supposed to be.”
Dragon: “Your Majesty, how was this octopus able to hear our calls for help?”
Drakonus: “You’re from one of the more recent generations, aren’t you? In the past, many dragons would breed with octolings, who we’re compatible with, in an attempt to add water breathing members to our tribe. Oddly though, their offspring always ended up being at least 90% octoling, so they ended up joining the Octoling Tribe rather than the Dragons. This young man must be a descendant of dragons, if he could hear our silent cries for help inside this frozen prison.”
The Dragon King chuckles.
Drakonus: “The Snow Leopards thought they had it foolproof. They didn’t consider that there’d be another octoling with dragon blood left all these centuries later, to hear the voices of our spirits.”
Othaurus: “Yep. It’s a good thing I came here on my scouting missions and heard you reaching out. Simple curiosity can come a long way.”
The octoling rips the bandages off of his sword, revealing the insignia of the Dragon Tribe carved into the blade.
Othaurus: “So what’s next, Your Highness?”
Drakonus: “First, we take our weapons and vehicles that’d been frozen with us, and create more fire chi to power them. We need to make a B-line for Mount Cavora, and then for the Snow Leopards. We will only spend energy fighting before we reach them if anyone is there to oppose our claiming of Cavora.”
Othaurus and the dragons nod, and begin to carry out Drakonus’ orders.
The dragons excavate their vehicles, and then begin creating more fire chi. Not capable of the latter since he isn’t a dragon, Othaurus stands watch atop a volcano in case anyone arrives here from the north.

OOC: How long did it take them to get to the volcanic south?
