  ”Ruins in the desert huh? Such a bittersweet context.”
Zernebog looked up at the massive structure, slightly thankful that its size and position blocked out the sun. It was bad enough that he was forced to tolerate this heat in his quest to look at all of the ruins here in Nue before picking one to explore in-depth and leaving the others for his colleagues to look at themselves, but he couldn't bring any of his Ice pokemon here to alleviate the heat because they would fare much worse than he would here.
There was always the option of water pokemon, but most of them would suffer the same or similar problems. Even if he could bring one along though, he didn't want to damage the ruins with water nor did he want to walk around said ruins while waterlogged. Nothing says disaster like waterlogged ruins that aren't supposed to be waterlogged. He might collapse the structure on him or something due to the water, which would make his mother pissed at him AND blacklist him from that guild until he found a sufficiently good excuse for the wanton destruction.
Stupid rules and regulations making his life much harder.
Sigh. There was nothing he could do about it now. He just had to go in and explore these new ruins. NOTES Your notes here. This box expands as you type. CODED BY SYLVIE |

If there was one thing that Zernebog was glad about as soon as he entered the ruins, it was that it was much colder inside the shade of this dusty old relic of a building than it was outside in the scorching heat of the desert sands. It turned out that not even months of constant work and digging in Kalos' badlands had helped him develop an adequate enough heat resistance to be able to take long-term desert residence and travel.
Lamarck wasn't right on that point (or at least he thought it was Lamarck who made that point anyway; he wasn't the best with evolutionary scientists). Who knew?
He just wished that whoever had been here last would have put their leftovers somewhere else. It was irritating at looking at organic trash along with the bits and pieces of rubble that were also decorating the entrance. It made the place look like a pig sty. He was tempted to pick it up and place it in a trash bag... but he didn't have a trash bag. Nor was there a trash can for miles around.
However... he did have a handy flame-breathing pokemon in hand. He quickly took out that particular pokemon's pokeball from his belt and released him from within, revealing the form of a neon blue and black Blaziken with eerie yellow eyes that looked like he was some sort of cursed mutant.... which he was, but that was another story.
Zernebog glanced at the neon blue and black Blaziken and gestured for him to incinerate the leftovers. Said neon blue and black Blaziken looked at his trainer without expression in his eerie yellow eyes for a few moments before nodding and unleashing a spiraling stream of black fire that quickly engulfed the trash and burnt it to cinders.

Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump.
Two sets of footsteps echoed throughout the hallway as trainer and pokemon headed down on its path. A musty smell permeated the hallway and those of that behind it, though both have noticed that the smell wasn't as strong or prevalent as it was in most other ruins that they had encountered.
Zernebog had a few theories as to why that was so, but he wasn't going to commit to any particular idea until he was sure that the theory he will choose to back was correct and had most -if not all- of the facts and figures in this place supporting it. It paid to be skeptical most times. It helped him keep himself on his toes and his hide attached to the rest of his body. There was no better indicator of success than that.
Still, he kind of wished that he could ask Helios to light a fire to give him more light to work with. Unfortunately, unlike his other fire pokemon Helios' flames did not actually give off any light due to his curse. In fact, most even say that the cursed flames sucked light in, which is why they looked black. It was a credible theory, but he wasn't about to theorize on the natures of curses. Magic was not his area of expertise, as were curses.
The old vase sitting on a stand at the end of the hall though? That was part of his expertise alright. A small grin worked its way up Zernebog's face as he took out his trusty notebook and pencil and started to make a beeline towards the vase with Helios trailing along behind him.

Feeling someone with something sharp poke his shoulder, Zernebog blinked and turned around to face Helios, already knowing it was him. How'd he know it was his cursed Blaziken? Because anything else in here would have aimed to skewer his shoulder instead of poke it. Probably even the decorations if he had been cursed with bad luck or something.
Yes. Zernebog believed in curses. Why not? After all, his Blaziken looked like some sort of demented demon and passed on weird fire and colors to his offspring. All of this because he'd offended the spirit inside that artifact. Ever since that, change, Zernebog had become a full believer in actual curses and not just the move Curse.
Zernebog blinked those thoughts away, only to raise an eyebrow at what Helios was holding. It was a stone identical to that of the unknown one that he couldn't identify with Ricki some time ago in one of the abandoned construction site in Clearwater. A stone for a Pidgeot. Hm... interesting.
He gave Helios a thankful smile and nod as he took the sphere. NOTES Your notes here. This box expands as you type. CODED BY SYLVIE |
