Amor did notice movement farther away from him, but he had no idea if they were friend or foe either. Instead he kept his distance, and watched from afar as the Cultists worked their way up the trail, and he realized that they were heading to the summit. Were they trying to track down the legendries that had been here so long ago? They had vanished so that was impossible wasn't it? Furrowing his brow he saw some strange machinery being carted up as well which was cause for concern as he had no idea what was going to be happening. With so many fire types, and the entire region damaged after the battle in Sootopolis he had a few guesses, but he wouldn't know for sure.

Hoping that he wouldn't have to worry about the other hidden figure as he trailed them to the summit he was prepared to strike at a moments notice. Mt. Chimney was already a hot bed of Primal Energy even if it was inert at the moment with the right conditions it could cause another surge, and Amor had reason to believe that this volcano was the center of a lot of activity within the region. People would seek to use the dormant energies of it to try, and achieve the impossible.

"Idiots..." He would just mutter under his breath as they got closer to the destination of the cultists.

Thomas Benoit

(Will start NPCing the Cultists on my next post!)

[Cultists POV]

Thomas had approached the main group as they reached the summit, and at the sight of his Hydreigon, and the lone trainer they simply laughed.

"Boy you are very outnumbered? Are you sure you wanna do this?" Came the simple response as three Magmortar sidled up to the man who was speaking to him. Solrock were looming around as well, they didn't seem very intimidated by two Pokemon who couldn't possibly pose a threat to them. "It is unfortunate that you have come to interrupt us, this is where our lord was, and we have come to retrieve him." Immediately the cannons on each of the Magmortar began to glow as they charged up stored energy, and let it loose towards Thomas, and his pokemon.

Six streaks of golden light converged into one massive Hyper Beam for Thomas to contend with. The Solrock behind had began to glow red, and the sunlight seemed to get far more intense from their combined Sunny Day.

Amor watched from his perch as the first attacks were launched towards the man who had been tailing the cultists as well, and seeing that he wasn't with them obviously he felt that it was only prudent that he jump in to help. Patting Draco on the neck he nodded to his companion as they swooped downward with Amor leaping off, and tumbling into a roll behind a rock as his Dragonite used Extreme Speed to attempt to sweep up the Solrock in the back.

It was only when he was this close that he recognized the man that had been tailing the cultists along with him.

"Thomas!?" He exclaimed a little shocked, but thankful that it was someone that he recognized, and wasn't another enemy for him to contend with. "Well I'm glad to see you here at least." He said as Draco continued his high speed assault.
