Description
Rogues! Yeah! You can learn more about Zara the Spheal here: [link]Important! The sound will go out if sync if you scroll down your window or go to another tab. The animation is very synced to the music, so when watching, don't move or you will ruin your AWESOME TEAM AZURE EXPERIENCE!!
M8! The animation! Yeah!! I lost count of how many hours I spent on this, but trust me it was a LOT of hours.
Art was drawn in SAI to create PNG images. PNG images were assembled in Flash to create SWF files. SWF files were assembled in Adobe Premiere. Then more exporting and Flash was involved but it gets complicated at that point. A tiny bit of After Effects was used too.
Sorry it's not fully animated everywhere but damn, time was limited after all. And I had to decrease the video quality a bit so it would fit dA's size limit.
The song is by a Hungarian group called NOX : [link]
Bigger cameos:
's Missy: [link] - You can read more about Missy and her precious berry here: [link]

OHMYGOSH. OHMYWORD. OHMYGOODNESSGRACIOUS. O_O Such a fantastic animation and story! AAAH, BRAVO, LUNA! Seriously, I'm at a loss for words at the moment... I GOTTA WATCH IT AGAIN.
OKAY, YES. JUST AS BEAUTIFUL AS THE FIRST TIME.
;w; Aaah, I love how it starts out all lighthearted with Upaa being oh so oblivious. It balanced perfectly with the doom and gloom the ending brought. ;A; Auugh, that part with Upaa shaking his head and slowly backing away breaks my heart.
AND THEN IN THE PRESENT, XD Mijou, Tama, and Zara's adventure added the perfect dose of comic relief! :'D I love how Zara literally ROLLS to get around! XD The part where she gets stuck right at the exit had me LAUGHING. Wahaha, such a lovable roly poly Poke! XD
BUT AUUGH, I CAN'T GET OVER HOW AMAZING THIS CAME OUT! JUST WOW, MAN! 
OHOH! THANK YOU FOR LINKING TO THE SONG TOO. XDD TOTALLY ADDING IT TO MY PLAYLIST, MWAHAHAH!

Thank you!! At first I didn't think I would make it, so that's why I wanted an extension, but I was fine!
Psst! Zara is a boy XD And Spheal do roll to get around, it says so in their pokedex entry hehe
It's a cool song, eh? I found it randomly on youtube while searching for a fire-related song.

You are MOST welcome!
AWSNAP, IT DOES?! >:U Looks like I gotta brush up on my Pokedex entries. XD I think it was mostly the way you animated his "roll cycle" that really amused me. SILLY SPHEALS. SILLY ZARA. XD OH AND YES. AUUUGH, SORRY FOR THE SLIP-UP THERE. :'D It wasn't two seconds after I submitted the comment that I noticed that typo. ZARA, PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR QUESTIONING YOUR MANLINESS. *DORK'D*
o___o REALLY?! Ohmygosh, talk about the perfect find! n__n I'm glad it all worked out so well! 8D And even happier to have a new song to boogie too, ohohoho! XD

Aaaaah thank you!
I was trying to make Missy pause before she decided to give the berry, but I'm not sure if people who don't know Missy will realize they're both a bit slow hehe. That's why I linked to your berry mission
