Poke'mon in The Playground: Hoenn's New Threat [Archive]

Autumn, Morning, Day 1

Slateport City

As the sun rises on the new day, the port city of Hoenn starts bustling with life. The outdoor market opens up, people talking about their wares and selling. The Contest Hall starts preparations for the weekly contest (cute, this time). The nearby Battle Tent is filled with the faint shouts of a late-night stall battle coming to a close. The museum advertises its coming temporary exhibit, the three Sinnoh Dragon Orbs on their way back to their home region. Finally, ships from ports all around the world dock here, their passengers and cargo ready to be unloaded. Most of these ships carry cargo, but all of them carry passengers, in one way or another….

“Pay for passage!” a sailor shouts. “The captain will tolerate no stowaways in his cargo! Now, get out of here!”

A man gets thrown overboard one of the ships, making a splash as he hits the water. “Thanks for the lift, at least!” he calls, swimming towards shore with wooden staff in hands.

“If you come on board again, I’ll toss you out again!” replies the sailor. “You, and your little bird too!”

The bird in question, a Chatot, expresses its’ displeasure with a splatter and muttering something about a plank.

Then, turning to the port itself, let us begin… Poke’mon in the Playground!

“Missed me, mister!” a young boy shouts, jumping out of his most recent hiding spot on the ship. He sticks his tongue out and pulls on an eyelid with a finger “Blehhh, now you ga’da kiss him.” A Gastly floats up from below the deck and licks the sailor.

100% accuracy, 30 or lower will paralyze the sailor.
was 43

Whether or not the sailor is paralyzed the boy will run off the ship laughing, the Gastly will follow him.

Rick sits ourside Slateport, eating the bread he swiped from the market earlier. Burnard gives a small whimper, looking hungrily at the food.
"You hungry boy?" Rick asks. "Lets go find something for you." he says as he turns to walk into the woods, Burnard trotting along at his heels.

Daniel, coming into town to see the Dragon Orbs, walks around town, enjoying the sights. His Hitmonlee, Kituske, follows clos behind him, his long legs extending with every stride. He notices a boy's Gastly licking a sailor, and then flying away. He sends Kituske to make sure the sailor is okay, then walks over to the boy. "Excuse me. I understand you were just joking around, but your Gastly could have really hurt that sailor. Pokemon shouldn't be used to hurt people."

Don't worry my character isn't going to be like this all the time. I'm just trying to start up some interaction.

Yay, interaction!

Braz jumps off the ship and easily lands on the dock thinking ‘yay, perfect landing ten points!’

He laughs at the man pulling himself out of the water, before turning around and getting chastised by the swordsmen.

“Gramor wouldn’t hurt no-nobody.” Oh-man that sword guy looks scary, Braz actively looks for a way out, but as he starts to run he unconsciously uses Rest and falls flat on his face. Gramor just chuckles to himself, the way Gastly’s are known to do, and hovers away from the boy, as if he expects something might happen.

The boy seems to be out cold, but a moment later rolls over and folds his arms behind his head “Of course I’m alright, you want to fight?” His eyes are closed; one might say he has a serene look about him, if it weren’t for the devilish grin he’s wearing.

The man that was thrown overboard the cargo ship earlier climbs onto the docks, his Chatot on a post nearby.

"At least we got to the port before we were detected..." he says, looking at the bird and drying himself out. "Though I would have prefered getting off without getting wet, but that's the way my luck is running these days..."

"Wind in yer sails!" the Chatot replies.

"You really think that we have a chance to make a living here?" the man asks. "After all that we've been through in Sinnoh..."

Meanwhile, in the market district, a small group of people manage to gather, uninterested in shopping, but determined in some other united purpose... most of them look like ordinary trainers, but one stands out in his brown robes...

Despite the commotion the young stowaway is making, Paul is disinterested in the boy. He turns to find something for breakfast before noticing a familiar man in odd robes. Sevus' scaly hand taps him on the face and points him out. "I see him. Where is he from?" Then Paul remembers the ordeal with Team Plasma a few years back, and the whole thing with the legendary dragons. This man was working with Plasma, wasn't he? Paul starts towards him.

Slateport City: Marketplace

The robed man looks around in various pockets of his robes, while a few trainers nearby watch with moderate interest.

"Where did I put them..." he mutters. "Here we are..." he says pulling out a couple notecards.

"Ahem... It is wonderful to be back in Hoenn, our home, where I lived my life while young. You may know me as Rood, former Sage of Team Plasma. Today, I come to you to speak about Poke'mon Liberation."

"I'm sure most of you believe that we humans and Poke'mon are partners that have come to live together because we want and need each other. Yet... is that really the truth? Have we humans considered... that we assume this is the truth?"

"Poke'mon are usually subject to the commands of trainers, as was shown at the Unova Poke'mon League over a year ago. They are pushed around when they are our 'partners' at work, as is commonly seen with Chanseys in Poke'mon Centers. Can anyone say with confidence that there is no truth to what I have said?"

"With all that in mind, we must accept that Poke'mon are different than humans. They are living beings that have unknown potential. They are creatures that from which us humans have so much to learn. What, then, is our responsibility to such creatures called Poke'mon?"

"If you thought liberate them, you are, in my view, correct! Then, and only then, will us humans and Poke'mon truely be equals. In the past, Plasma used this message to hide the true goal of their leader, but I come to you with the promise that I am not like Ghetsis. I am not going to preach what I don't practice myself."

With that, he tosses a Poke'ball in the air, and a Pellipper comes out.

"With that, I promise you to show you I am not like Team Plasma. Now, where did I put that rock..."

"This is interesting..." the man says, Chatot on shoulder. "A trainer in battle himself. Rare, but getting more common... at least, this looks like a friendly battle..."

After the boy slams into him, Daniel pushes him off with reflexes born from years of training. He then draws his sword, with Kituske jumping in behind hime. He twirls his sword around as he speaks to the boy. "Are you sure you want to battle me personally? If you do, I wil only use the flat of my blade, although you may get a few scratches. Of course, we could always battle the regular way."

At the announcement of the captain, Kari dashes off of the ship, low to the ground to avoid sight. Luckily, she is able to get away, but only just barely.

Rushing, she makes it into the Pokemon Center, breathing a bit heavily. As she goes through the door, the Eevee in her arms begins biting deeply again, angrily. "Gah! Damnit, you can't keep doing that! Don't you understand, I'm trying to help you!" Wincing, she drags herself to one of the couches and tries to calm her little charge.

The boy is slapped away by the blade, and once again falls face first onto the dock, a second later. . .

“Ou, ok I’m awake you, you didn’t have to hit me.” Braz sits up, rubbing the place where the sword made contact. His eyes are open and they actually look to be tearing up, big meanie hitting a ‘defenseless sleeping child’, what’s wrong with you.

Though that might be the only way to snap him out of his little ‘moments’.
The Gastly looks a bit disappointed that it ended so quickly, and floats over to the boys side and tries to cheer him up with a silly face.

In the woods, they begin dueling. Daniel's sword against Hatlaan's blade-like elbows. They keep up an effortless rythym, both of them parrying and countering perfectly.

Folding his newspaper and standing up, Ian takes a look around.

"Hm... Former Plasma about to get into a battle personally, stowaways... Seems things just got exciting." He mutters, flipping out a pokegear and sending a message on it before spotting a familiar face in the crowd.

"...Is that...?" He says, before walking towards the man with the Chatot.

"Walker? Is that you?" He asks, after catching the man's attention.

"Ian?" the man asks.

"Chatot! Walk the plank!" McScurvy says.

"Quiet you... I'm not sending you to Snowpoint again... Well, Ian, it's good to see a familiar face here in Hoenn. What brings you here? Still chasing Cipher?" Walker asks, now with a faint grin on his face.

"Here we are!" Rood says, pulling out a rock from his robe the size of a Poke'ball. "Dear Pellipper, you have served me well through the years. Now, I return you to where you belong, back in the wild. You are free to follow me if you wish, but it will be your will, not mine. Be released!"

Rood brings the rock down on the Poke'ball on the ground, smashing it to pieces.

"Citizens of Slateport, I thank you for your time listening to my words, and Pellipper, I thank you for your long years of service. Everyone, I now end my words here today by imploring you to consider the relationship between people and Pokémon... and the correct way to proceed. I sincerely appreciate your attention."

With that, Rood scoops up a piece of the broken Poke'ball and heads northward, with a small group of trainers following him.

His Pellipper looks around confusedly, unsure on what to do.

As Daniel walks away, the group of trainers following Rood catches the boys eye. ‘Fresh targets’ is the first thing he thinks, ‘they probably got a lot of stuff on them’ he drops the three pokeballs he has behind him. Out of which come two Eevee’s and an Abra, the Abra jumps on his back and settles on him like a backpack. Braz turns to the Eevee’s, “Ok guys, we reached land and I think I just found our first meal ticket.” motioning behind him to the group following the old guy.

Slateport Cafe

At the mention of a temple, Walker frowns. "Apparently, you are behind the times, Ian. I've given up with that... here, I've kept a hold of this for several months..."

Walker hands Ian a newspaper, several months old, with an image on the front page of a crater with two people crying in it. One of them is a Poke'athelete, sitting next to a pile of broken iron beams holding a piece of what used to be a blueprint. The other is Walker, kneeling, with his staff among the pieces of three Poke'balls.

Poke'Athelete's and Priest's Dreams Destroyed by Meteor

Yesterday, as two people were fighting over the future of the land to the east of Lake Verity, a meteor fell from the sky to the site, causing much devestation. Scientists believe that it is one of the biggest meteors to land on this planet, with a size of several yards wide and long.

Recently, the Poke'athelete Maximo had bought the land with hopes to build a Poke'athon Dome there, following the success of one of them in Johto. However, it appeared that someone else had bought the land before Maximo did: Walker, local Priest to Arceus.

For the past year, Walker had been building a temple to Arceus where Maximo had planned to build a Poke'athon Dome. Despite no longer being able to fund the project, Walker was determined to finish the temple.

Neither was willing to back down, but only one building could be built there. A court date was settled for tomorrow, but until then, both sides refused to leave the site. Early this morning, however, a meteor crashed into the site, inflicting heavy losses on both sides.

The under-construction temple was destroyed, while many of the support beams for the would-be Dome were bent beyond use. Because of these recent events, both parties have renounced their claims to the site, canceling tomorrow's court date.

Team Galactic has claimed the meteor, saying that their leader had plans for a new energy from it.

"The temple had left me without a coin to my name," Walker says, "so I could not afford to rebuild it. I don't know why the temple was destroyed, but I no longer care. Arceus can find someone else to do his will; it won't be me."

"Well, after that incident, I released all three of my Poke'mon in grief, but all three stuck around. In a couple of days, I gave West Wind to the local day care, while I gave Stealth and McScurvy here to Rowan. The next day, Rowan returned McScurvy to me with a fearful look in his eyes, telling me to not let McScurvy use Chatter. After wandering the streets for a couple weeks, the locals started pressing me to go and challenge Roark. Eventually, McScurvy and I traveled to Oreburgh to do so, taking a detour to train heavily. Eventually, we won, and we started wandering around again. I needed a new purpose, and it wasn't in Arceus's service! So, I managed to sneak the pair of us onto a ship, and managed to get us to Slateport Harbor, where we were finally found."

"That went rather well," Rood says, walking near Rick and Burnard. "At least, we weren't attacked on sight."

One of the trainers following him speaks up. "Sir, you did well, going off script enough with those examples to, perhaps, get some people to release their Poke'mon. We should get back to the castle."

"Hold up..." says one trainer. "I just got a message from the head warrior: the heiress is missing."

"And he believes that she is nearby?" Rood asks.

"Yes," says the second. "He has sent me information on her only Poke'mon with her right now: Woobat. On top of that, it seems that he is putting in an order for a bigger garden so that she will be less likely to follow the sages or warriors out on their buisness. Oh, and he's sending one of the warriors to pick us up in a bit."

"Holy ****!" Rick shouts, leaping backwards to dodge the arm blade. "This is uhhhh.... dinner." he says sheepishly. Honestly, the guy with the sword scares him. The Pokemon scares him more. So, naturally, fight or flight kicks in. In this case its flight. Rick just turns around and books it into the woods.

Eventually, the Eevee falls asleep, tired out by its attempts to inflict pain on Kari. She spends the entire time concentrated on the map, wondering where she might be able to go. At the very least, she knows she can't stay there.

Carefully, Kari sneaks out of the Pokemon Center. She begins running through Slateport's streets, trying to get to a location without being seen.

At the mention of a temple, Walker frowns. "Apparently, you are behind the times, Ian. I've given up with that... here, I've kept a hold of this for several months..."

Walker hands Ian a newspaper, several months old, with an image on the front page of a crater with two people crying in it. One of them is a Poke'athelete, sitting next to a pile of broken iron beams holding a piece of what used to be a blueprint. The other is Walker, kneeling, with his staff among the pieces of three Poke'balls.

"The temple had left me without a coin to my name," Walker says, "so I could not afford to rebuild it. I don't know why the temple was destroyed, but I no longer care. Arceus can find someone else to do his will; it won't be me."

"Well, after that incident, I released all three of my Poke'mon in grief, but all three stuck around. In a couple of days, I gave West Wind to the local day care, while I gave Stealth and McScurvy here to Rowan. The next day, Rowan returned McScurvy to me with a fearful look in his eyes, telling me to not let McScurvy use Chatter. After wandering the streets for a couple weeks, the locals started pressing me to go and challenge Roark. Eventually, McScurvy and I traveled to Oreburgh to do so, taking a detour to train heavily. Eventually, we won, and we started wandering around again. I needed a new purpose, and it wasn't in Arceus's service! So, I managed to sneak the pair of us onto a ship, and managed to get us to Slateport Harbor, where we were finally found."

Litening to the story, Ian winces.

"That... Sounds like it must have been traumatising." He says, rubbing the back of his head.

"So, is McScurvy the only 'mon you've got right now?" He asks, looking at the Chatot.

"That went rather well," Rood says, walking near Rick and Burnard. "At least, we weren't attacked on sight."

One of the trainers following him speaks up. "Sir, you did well, going off script enough with those examples to, perhaps, get some people to release their Poke'mon. We should get back to the castle."

"Hold up..." says one trainer. "I just got a message from the head warrior: the heiress is missing."

"And he believes that she is nearby?" Rood asks.

"Yes," says the second. "He has sent me information on her only Poke'mon with her right now: Woobat. On top of that, it seems that he is putting in an order for a bigger garden so that she will be less likely to follow the sages or warriors out on their buisness. Oh, and he's sending one of the warriors to pick us up in a bit."

Esprin hides in a bush down the path the group is most likely to take, ready to pop out and look as cute as a tulip (Charm), hopefully distracting a most of them. Braz and Eevron follow behind the group silently waiting for the time to move in. Gramor hovers in the canopy ready to silence any trouble makers.

"So, is McScurvy the only 'mon you've got right now?" He asks, looking at the Chatot.

Walker nods. "Yes," he says, petting the bird Poke'mon. "McScurvy here doesn't really want to leave me, and I like some company. At the very least, I have an ally in a tough pinch. Perhaps it helps that I found him on a sailor's skeleton about a year back... and he doesn't want me to suffer the same fate as his previous trainer did, way back when..."

"Don't eat me!" McScurvy calls. "Don't eat me!

"Huh... that's a new one..."

Braz and Eevron follow behind the group silently waiting for the time to move in. Gramor hovers in the canopy ready to silence any trouble makers.

"Ideas on where she might have gone?" Rood asks.

"The Bike path is not a strong possibility," a trainer in the group says. "She does not have a bike."

"Her Woobat is strong enough to get through this route on it's own," says another trainer. "We might have to widen the search."

"They won't go across the water, so we don't need to look too far west," says a third.

"Pellipper! Pellipper!"

"Pellipper... you came back..."

"Ignoring Rood, I'd say we spread out," says a fourth trainer. "Two of us head east to Route 103, two of us return to Slateport, while the other two go on ahead to Mauville City. That leaves Rood and his Pellipper, as well as any help he can find, to find Heiress Lesedi before we all get in trouble..."

With that, the group splits up. Two of them head west, two of them head south, back towards Slateport, and two of them head northwards.

‘An heiress? Like a rich girl?’ Braz’ mind swarms with possibilities as the two trainers heading back to town move past his hiding place.

Not seeing any movement from where he last saw his boy*, Eevron stays low to the ground. Hearing the regroup sound (a low but distinct twig snap) he silently but quickly makes his way to where he presumes Braz to be.

Braz quickly explains the new plan to milk this guy for all he’s worth and getting in touch with the rich girl, by way of the ‘I got separated from my pokemon when we were attacked routine’ to form a ‘friendship’ with the target. That’s why Eevron stays with the kid, his fairly smart for a human. Eevron scampers off to inform Esprin of the change in plans, and Braz prepares for his role.

A moment later one might hear a ruckus coming from the trees punctuated by screams for ‘Esprin’, and not a second later Braz would run headfirst into Rood.

*As we all should know, Eevee’s own you not the other way around.

Of course, in doing so, she is totally not paying attention to where she is going and runs straight into a small little girl with a strange bat-like Pokemon flying about.

Random place on Route 110

Unfortunately for Braz after his performance and during his ‘crying fit’ he fell asleep, and his crazed alternate personality ran off looking for a fight, but he had ran off in the wrong direction and is now far away from what his goal was, not having found a fight Braz finally actually falls asleep. Gramor has followed him and is now watching over him.

Near the group on Route 110

Eevron and Esprin hide in a few bushes annoyed at the fact that Braz has not found his way here yet. One problem with that boy is he always runs off at the worst time possible.

Alex is unconcious, but he's alive, for the moment.

The man in the dirty armor nods, looking at the madman. "One of our men checked the abandoned Trick House nearby," he says, with a low voice. "I think that is where he made his base; piles of bones are scattered around there, though nothing was particually valuable except for a sword."

Yes, well, I fear what the potential might have been if he had not used the heiress for a plan of his, whatever it may have been," Rood replies, digging into his robe. "I know I put those somewhere in here... Any luck with that boy's Eevee?"

"Excadrill is lagging. He'll catch up shortly."

Nonetheless, now that Lesedi is in Butler's capable hands, I think you folks are deserving of rewards..." Rood says, pulling out a box. "Tell me... which type of reward would you prefer: old, ancient, or forgotten?"

Meanwhile, Butler, the purple Audino, is looking slightly emberassed with Lesedi hugging him tightly...

"Exca!!!" calls a voice, and the Eevees come face to face with... a large metal mole...

Excadrill appeared! (Level 80, Male)

"There's Excadrill..." the warrior says. "Didn't you say something about Eevees?"

"Yes, yes I did," Rood says. "A young man had lost his, so the group was looking for it along with the Heiress. Could you have Excadrill catch them? The boy would be greatful. Now... forgotten? All right."

Rood opens the box he was holding, and coughing from the burst of dust, pulls out a couple floppy discs.

Rick and Daniel recieved Forgotten TM 11s (Bubblebeam)!

"These TMs are very rare," Rood says, handing Rick and Daniel a floppy disk each. "They were more common about twenty years ago, but that's before your time. Anyway, these TMs contain the move Bubblebeam. Doing moderate damage to anything that does not resist it, it also has a chance of slowing the target down. Not as wide-range as Bubble, but that deals less damage and never was a TM. Now, for the one who requested Ancient..."

Rood pulls out a CD that looks unusually battered.

Kari recieved Ancent TM 16 (Icy Wind)!

"Ancent TM 16 contains Icy Wind, and is a little more common than the Bubblebeam TMs. Still, these are getting rare as well, due to the simple reason that no one has any reason to make these anymore. Well, Icy Wind is not as powerful as Bubblebeam, but it has a wider reach, allowing it to hit more targets. Although it is slightly less accurate, it will always reduce a target's speed."

"Keep in mind that, unlike the modern TMs which are reusable, these TMs are one-shot only: use them, and they're gone. Think wisely which Poke'mon you want to learn the move, because there will be no second chance."

"The sword in question is still at the Trick House," the dirty warrior says. "I think we need to get those Eevees first, though. Excadrill is too big for a job like this."

No one could realistically survive what just happened to you, but it wouldn't be fair for you to die, so you should just be unconscious. And there's no retconning unless everybody agrees on it. And I don't, so no Heal Pulse. Thirdly, what exactly are you talking about dodging? You couldn't dodge any of the attacks, they were all 100 Acc, except for Hi Jump Kick, and that automatically hit thanks to Mind Reader.

As he sees Xin fly of he mutters "Good riddance." Under his breath, than keeps looking through the Trick House for the sword.

Quick Guard can't have blocked those attacks, as it only block increased priority moves, like Quick Attack or Aqua Jet. It can't block Low Kick or Sacred Sword. I'm fine with Wizard flying you off, but I just want you to remember what Quick Guard actually does. So just remember that Xin is unconscious right now.

Route 110-Trick Master's Abandoned House

There are bones in various piles in the house, with a small pile of pieces of wood in a corner, freshly gathered, with a battered sword on a table, looking rusted from lack of use and care. It's hilt is broken, but a symbol of something like a sun can be seen on it.

There are a few holes in the roof, and in one corner there is a pile of branches that seems to have been used as bedding recently, though a nearby bed looks like it has been cleaned in the last hour.

"Walk the plank!" a Chatot calls, flapping it's wings in anger.

"I thought this was abandoned," a man says, trying to sneak back out of the building and away from the fighting. "I hope Ian has better luck with Cipher than I am with finding a place to live..."

"Welcome to the Poke'mon News Network. I am your host, Valerie, with my sidekick, Darryl. Today, Hoenn is where the action is at.

"In the morning, six of the Seven Sages of what used to be Team Plasma were spotted in various places in the region. Slateport, Lilycove, Mauville, Rustboro, Fortree, and the Battle Frontier were where all the Sages were, although they all had disapeared before our teammates could get close enough to interview them.

"We managed to gather information about their intentions, though, from trainers that heard them speak. It seems that they are preaching the same message that Ghetsis, the seventh sage and the former leader of Team Plasma, preached before his disapearance. However, they are actually preaching what they practice, each of them releasing their Poke'mon and encouraging others to do the same. What they are thinking, we may never know..."

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/b/b8/DPCameraman.png

"In a surprising turn of events, Ghetsis himself was spotted in Mossdeep City. Ghetsis, the former seventh sage of Team Plasma, and on the run, was spotted in Mossdeep City. He was in plain view of about twenty trainers as he purchased the local Poke'Mart's entire supply of Ultra Balls, Net Balls, Dive Balls, Revives, Full Heals, and Hyper Potions. Despite having all of his Poke'mon confiscated at the Poke'mon League of Unova before he went on the run, a Zweilous, a two-headed Dragon Poke'mon, was following close behind him, threatening to attack anyone who got too close to him without permission. When the shopkeeper inquired about his purchases, Ghetsis said he needed to catch some Zubat and Audino."

"While Ghetsis may have a Zweilous and been out in the open, authorities were busy with a larger problem in the Hoenn Safari Zone. A Hydreigon was spotted causing havoc to the local Poke'mon, employees, and visiting trainers. One trainer and one employee of the Safari Zone are missing, while two other trainers were discovered dead. One trainer who managed to escape spoke with reporters."

"I was traveling along, see, with my Beautifly by my side. I was searching for a Shuckle, see, and I had heard that some were recently imported from Johto. I was looking around, see, and pokeing under rocks, when I heard this gigantic roar. I saw this large black dragon, see, with three heads. I saw red on their mouths, see, and that is what drove me to running. Once in a safe corner, I pulled out an identifier, see, and pointed it at the dragon that was devouring a couple Miltank. I could not believe my eyes, see, when I saw its level. The beast was 97, see! Even a swordsman with a level 78 Rapidash knew it was time to run, see, fleeing with a child sitting behind him on his ride. Luckily, they were fast enough to escape, see, but I was too slow to do anything other than wait. When the authorities showed up an hour later, see, I managed to sneak away while they managed to scare the Hydreigon off. See, I still can't believe that such a powerful beast is in Hoenn! See, it even disapeared!"

"I think any of us would hate to be on the recieving end of that chaos... now, to a more pleasant matter... the local Zubat and Golbat population has sharply decreased recentaly, coenciding with a sharp decrease in Durant and Audino in Unova. While we can all agree that Zubat and Golbat were so common they will not be missed, the Audino were helpful Poke'mon, I hear..."

Trick Master's Abandoned House

"Oh, just passing through?" the man says, taking Rick's hand. "Good, I was worried I was moving into someone else's home. The Trick Master has been gone for a long time, I heard, so I made my way here, hoping that no one minded my presence. I'm Walker, a wanderer, and the Chatot you can see through the roof is a friend of mine, McScurvy."

"DON'T EAT ME!" the Chatot screeches.

"We're not going to eat you, McScurvy..."

Route 110-Near the Eevees

"Look..." Excadrill said to the Eevees in Poke'speak. I'm not trying to hurt you. I'm just trying to catch you for my trainer so that you can be returned to your trainer. I may be big, but I'm trying to be gentle with you... I don't want to face my trainer's boss's re-adjuster..."

Route 110-Mauville City Entrance

As Kari approaches Mauville City, she notices two trainers moping around near the entrance.

"This sucks..." one says. "The Heiress has been found, but why haven't they gone yet?"

"Rood promised to help a trainer find their lost Poke'mon, an Eevee," replies the second. "Once that is taken care of, the Sage and the Warrior will return to the castle."

"Keep quiet about that location," chastises the first. "The boss doesn't want us to give the location away too soon. Not before his say-so."

"Hey, I'm just talking about it, it's not like anyone is paying any attention to us," says the second. "We're not even in uniforms."

"That reminds me..." mutters the first. "You still have your uniform disguises? Aqua and Magma outfits?"

"Yes, and I know the mission: enter Magma's hideout, as you told me where it is, and cause chaos in Aqua's name. Meanwhile, you will enter Aqua's and cause chaos in Magma's name, right?"

"You have it. This will cause the two teams to go after each other instead of getting in our way. The boss is eventually expecting a reveal at Mt. Pyte, but until then, we have to keep quiet."

Madman Alex grabbed onto Excadrill!

"...You are kidding me. And where I can't reach, either."

Paul hears the cries of Excadrill and the Eevee-lutions and starts towards them. "Rood, I think I hear them over here!" he calls to the sage, who he is helping find the Pokemon.

(Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I hope this is an appropriate action.)

Route 110-Eevee Location

Both the Excadrill and the Madman is hit, but the Subterrene Poke'mon simply shakes the noise off of him.

It's not very affective against Excadrill...
Excadrill escaped Madman Alex's grasp!

"Chatot!" the man says, collapsing to the ground. "Hey, listen..."

Madman Alex fainted!

"Thank you for that assistance..." the Excadrill says. "I might have been able to deal with him myself, if he hadn't bit my tail. I think he might have actually gotten a piece of me off, could you believe it?"

"And here we arrive just as things are wrapping up," Rood says, entering the area. "Perhaps we should have dealt with the man better before he recovered. Nonetheless, we now have found the Eevees, so we can now return them to that young lad."

"Are you aware of the time? We need to get going!" Excadrill says in Poke'speak.

"Could you please hurry with the Eevees?" the warrior says, following behind Rood. "The boss wanted us back at base a few hours ago. That, assuming that he'll still let us in, considering that Lesedi hasn't choked Butler in fear. This man has caused her to be afraid... I think I found something of his too, while looking around... salt and pepper shakers. I think he was planning to eat her."

"What are we standing around for?" Excadrill says, again in Poke'speak. "We need to get moving!"

"On second thought, could I get a translator?"

Rout 110 - Eevee’s

“heh, that guys is definitely crazy.” Eevron says plainly, in poke’speak of course.

Esprin steps out of the bushes and looks like she is going to say something but is interrupted by Eevron. “ya, so this guy knows where our boy is, right? Hurry up and have him take us there.” a bit brash but his a bit on edge with the recent events.

Route 110 - Trick Master's Abandoned House

Braz, still sitting on the bed his eyes closed, begins to grin. “Hey, yo-“ a quick Sucker Punch from Gramor cuts off his words, Gramor doesn’t think this would be the best time for a fight. Thought the people at the house might not thing what Gramor did was all that nice, it hopefully saved them a battle with the sleeping thief.

Braz’ eyes flash open for a moment and then close as he falls over.

Anna, getting hit instinctively teleports to a random place away from ‘battle’ taking Braz with her, Garmor just sighs and will float out the front door to find where ever they ended up.

If Madman Alex had been awake, he might have responded with a flurry of bites and scratches. Luckily for Anna and Braz, he remains unconcious.

"There you are!" Rood says, heading over to Braz's location. "I was getting rather worried. Are you all right?"

"You've been reunited, I see," the Excadrill says. "Now, could we go before we attract too much attention?"

"Good," the warrior says. "Your promise has been fulfilled. Now we can leave with fewer worries."

"Let's go home..." Lesedi says, gripping the purple Audino. "I miss Zorua."

"You called Woobat back, I hope?" Rood asks.

"Yes, Sage Rood..."

"By the time I got to a Center, it might be time to start preporations for the contest," Walker says, nodding to McScurvy who is now sleeping on a shelf. "This way, we both get some sleep and we can prepare while walking to the Contest Hall. Besides, if this place is unclaimed, I might start turning it into a place where travelers can rest... Ah, it looks like the bed I made is now clear. Well, I wish you good night..."

"An Oddish?" says one of the two trainers looking over the Mauwville City entrance. "Could we use it?"

"The boss probably could fit it into his plans one way or another," replies the other. "But I see no reason to catch it for our organization's use. I'm tired of Poke'mon catching myself..."

"You were sent on that bat-catching mission, right?"

"I never thought I'd hate Zubat so much... At least I got a break and was put on the Durant catching team for a week..."

As sounds of sleep emanate from the boy, a faint glow can be seen around his Abra as words begin to filter into the mind of Escadrill.

Salutations kind warrior, would it be too much trouble to ask if you and your companions could bring my child and his friends to the nearest place of rest on your route homeward. The boy did not get much rest on the ship over here, and the wild is not the best place to sleep. The words linger for some time but are not too intrusive to disrupt normal thought.

"There we go! That's what I was waiting for," the Excadrill says. "I'd love to help further, but two small things: we're going underground, so there won't be any stopping us from getting to our destination, and the boss is probably upset that we haven't returned home yet. Also, no human here speaks Poke-speak, so I can't explain things to them... the boss really needs to hire a translator..."

A screech is distantly heard from Slateport's Contest Hall...

"I don't know," the Excadrill says. "It wouldn't break my heart to leave him. The man bit me!"

"Everyone here?" Rood asks. "Dwight? Lesedi? Excadrill? Butler?"

"Hold on..." the Audino says, escaping Lesedi's grip. "I'll take care of the madman... it's better than being hugged to death..."

"Butler!" Lesidi calls, making a grab for Butler as he escapes her grip.

"Not now!" mutters the purple Audino. "Hug that precious sage of yours for a bit! If I weren't forbidden from harming the heirs... I would advise against following me."

With the girl around Rood's leg, the Audino grabs the madman one-handedly by the neck and drags him through the grass and around a few rocks, out of sight and towards the water.

"Delays..." the Excadrill mutters. "We'll be lucky if we don't have to go through training again, because of how long this is taking... the head warrior may be patient, but he did tell us of a time limit for a reason..."

With that, the giant mole starts to dig a little downward in frustration.

"Dear Pellipper, it is now time for us to part," Rood says, to the Pellipper nearby/ "You have been a good and fateful companion, but you cannot go underground. If you still wish to follow, you will know where to find me.

Let's try to get some people back in the game, shall we?

"Wake up..." a woman's voice says to Xin. "Wake up, please... Your Charzard is also hurt... and my friend can't carry him much longer..."

Should Xin wake up, he'll be on the back of a Salamance flying in the sky next to a woman in a kimono, and his Charzard knocked out in the Salamance's claws.

"Could we get back to base already?" asks a man in robes grabbing the tail of the Salamance. "We didn't need to help a random person... Ghetsis would probably say drop him in the ocean, but he's the advisor to the boss this time around..."

The Audino does not aim at the man himself, but at the water surrounding him, freezing it solid, as well as a few Magikarp who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

"Hey, list-!"

"Not here, either..." He mutters, climbing out of the bushes and scratching his head, eyes droopy as though he had been searching all night for something. "Could have sworn I had my secret base around here..."

Cursing, he starts to look in a different direction just as the Pokegear begins to ring.

"Yo?" He answers, spinning the device to his ear and answering it.

Afternoon

Route 121

While Ian is on his phone, a couple of people walk by, with a Parasect following closely behind. The leader of the two people is...

...Walker?!?

"Things did not go as expected yesterday," Walker says, speaking to the woman following close behind without turning his head. "This is still workable: the Heir has now been terrified of his experence with Hydra, and I doubt he will be leaving the castle anytime soon. I have yet to recieve word on the Heiress, though. Rood and Dwight should have returned with Butler and Lesidi by dawn."

Walker here is not walking with a staff in his hands and a cloak, but rather wearing an outfit of leather armor and has a sword at his waist. The woman has a similar outfit, although hers has a light blue tinge to it.

"Sir, if things get out of hand too quickly," the woman says, "We could face trouble and have to wait a decade, starting from scratch the next time."

"You think I don't know that?" Walker(?) says. "I'm trying to get us to tread carefully, and have plans to get us part of what we need for the grand plan. Do we have any... suicidals?"

"Er... one, sir..." the woman says.

"Tomorrow night," Walker(?) says, "have him sent into the key city. Give him a Life Orb. He'll distract opposition for the main core to get their task done. Not only that, we can afford to loose him, and he won't talk afterwards. Pity, though, at a waste of life... I'll talk more about it with you later, after it's done. For now, your task is to help clean up the mess that I caused yesterday."

"Don't you think calling Hydra was overboard?"

"In hindsight, yes, but I was not thinking rationally at the moment. Granted, I'll not use him for a bit in the open, though I'm thinking about lending him... you have a task to do, and I have a place to check out. You have transportation back to base, so I'll leave you to it. And could you perhaps brainstorm for a new garden while you're there? I hope to see you by noon tomorrow."

"All right, sir. Stay safe."

"Alright, an Elektrike!" Rick cheers. His first captured Pokemon! "I tjhink I'll name you Fang," he says, talking to the Pokeball. " Hey Daniel!" Rick shouts. But Daniel isn't there! He could have sworn he was right behind him...
"I guess I'll just try to find him in the next town.." Rick mutters as he trudges north, 2 shiny Pokeballs on his belt.

Mauville City/Route 110 Junction

Two trainers are arguing over the pest-like nature of Zubat, an Oddish is walking back into tall grass, another trainer is watching the two trainers carefully, and a purple Audino is walking out of sight.

Oh, and in the water, there is a huge block of ice.

Daniel heads back to Slateport, as he had planned to meet Rick there, training Gulper up to level 15 on his way.

In the town center, there is a commotion as Daniel returns.

"That bird knocked out three people!"

"The Mart does not sell torches and pitchforks... where do we get them to run them out of Hoenn?"

"Everyone ready!" Rood calls. "Good luck on your journeys, trainers."

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/8/84/DPReporter.png
"Welcome to the Poke'mon News Network. I am your host, Valerie, while our friend, Darryl, is on his way to Hoenn to witness the grand opening of the temporary exibit in the Oceanic Museum tomorrow. This temporary exibit will showcase the three Sinnoh Dragon Orbs, recovered in Unova by a wandering trainer, and the three Orbs will be displayed for the rest of the season before continuing their return trip to Celestic Town's small museum, which is currently under construction."

"Not all is fine in Slateport, though. At around noon today, a Chatot belonging to a participant used Chatter to devestating effect... let's speak to an eyewitness."

"The man was wearing a cloak and was wielding a staff, while his Chatot... well, it looked just like any other Chatot, but the things that it said and sang... it was obvious it formerly belonged to a sailor. Well, we were down to the final round, and the man told his Chatot, McPlauge or something of the sort, to sing again. Instead of finishing off with a song, the bird used Chatter."

"At first, there was a little music, then the bird fell silent, even though its mouth remained open. Suddenly, the Chatot emitted a ten-second long screech, more powerful than any I've ever heard (and I'm a construction worker, so I know loud!). Midway through the noise, there was a... tear in the air, and I saw a... thing of squares in midair appear. Suddenly as it had appeared, it disapeared at the end of the screech, but the damage was done. One of the Judges was knocked out from the noise, two audience members were also unconcious, and people were quitting whatever they were doing as fast as they could, trying to get away from the Chatot and its trainer, who were fleeing northward. A few hours later, most of us had regained our senses. Ironically, the winner of the cute contest was an old man and his Whismur, both already deaf."

"That would have been bad enough without a Hydreigon somewhere on the loose... now then... due to yesterday's events, the Hoenn Safari Zone has been closed for repairs and cleaning. Only authorized personel are currently allowed to enter... though that hasn't stopped some trainers from trying."

"I wanted a Xatu, but the Safari Zone was closed. I wasn't going to let some officials stop me, so I sneaked in, only to be kicked out in less than a minute. It turns out I had stepped in some Miltank remains, and led a trail to me... but why did that woman with the black Growlithe get to stay in and not me?"

"Park officials looked all over the Safari Zone, and were unable to confirm the presence of such a woman..."

After the dust has settled Braz awakens slowly with a stretch and a yawn. It takes him a considerable amount of time to notice that he is not where he was before.

“He-hey Anna, can you fill me in on what’s happened?” Anna’s eye’s glow softly. “. . .But why would I wonder off during a job . . . that house looks nasty . . . heh, Gramor can be funny sometimes . . . a crazy guy really? . . do you know where they’re going . . . y-you mean that Pellipper?” Braz points an accusing finger at the nearby bird pokemon as the dark figure of Gramor saunters into the clearing.

Day 3: Dawn

Route 121- Ian's Location

Simutaniously, the phones of Ian and the mysterious man Walker? rings.

"Warrior Walker, here," the man says, answering his phone. "No, I haven't examined the orbs yet, I was... delayed. What? You mean... That will be all over the news, meaning people will notice! Unforeseen potential complications upon landfall? Oh... I'll return to base straight away... we can discuss potential promotions or demotions when I return..."

Hanging up, the Walker turns to Ian. "Something has happened that requires my urgent attention," he says. "I must go. Mind Master, take both Hunter and I back to base."

The Walker lets out an Alakazam, and the creature teleports both the human and the Parasect away.

Route 110- Northern End

The phone of one of the two trainers watching over the northern entrance rings. "Hello. What? Plans went ahead earlier than expected? That's a surprise. So us two are to start with our operations immediately? Got it. I'll see you at base in less than a week's time."

Hanging up his Poke'gear, one of the two turns to the other. "The orbs were taken before arriving at shore. We not only need to make ourselves scarce, but we need to get going on our missions: sabotage."

"Got it," says the other, heading northward into Mauville City.

"You know the locations?"

"Yes. Let's cause some havoc..."

Route 110-Departure Location of Sage

The Pellipper returns back to Braz, and lands back on the ground. The seabird Poke'mon hops a couple of times, looking at Braz and his group.

BREAKING NEWS!

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/b/b8/DPCameraman.png

"Darryl here in Slateport City, where the three Sinnoh Dragon Orbs were supposed to be coming in this morning. However, last night, all three of them, as well as precautions that would have been taken to avoid their thieft on shore in the Oceanic Museum, were stolen from their ship, and their ship was heavily damaged. Lets go to some of the sailors that were on the ship."

"The captain had said 'Woah," bringing the ship to a halt. A few sailors went up to see him, and they said 'WOAH!' and fled. I checked on the orbs, and I said 'Woah!' when Team Aqua Grunts had not only the orbs but all twenty-seven of the decoy orbs that were going to be in the Museum. You may think that's 'Woah' enough, but there's bigger 'Woah's."

"The grunts were using 'Woah' Poke'mon, fire types and rock types, in addition to their 'WOAH!' Wailord off the side. Then, 'Woah' the intercom came on, with a voice saying that the ship was theirs. A burping sound was going on behind the voice, but I was 'Woah...' tied up at the time."

"I can explain what happened while he was busy below deck. See, I had headed up to check the captain after that questionable announcement. Problem was, when I arrived, I found the captain dead, and a Zweilous and a Hydreigon eating the body. Nearby, a robed man was looking to the sea and making a phone call."

"'My Poke'mon is obeying me,' he said. 'Hydra, on the other hand, is barely listening. It killed the Captain before we were ready, so we can't get the crew to follow orders now. Any suggestions to get it to follow my orders?' At that point, I fled when the Hydreigon looked my way. My Wingull can't handle a level 28, let alone a 98! After I took cover below decks, the man made an announcement over the intercom, saying that they had taken over the ship. Next thing I knew, the crate I was hiding behind blew apart when a meteor hit it and I woke up a couple minutes before we made port."

"The new captain of the ship, here. I had hoped to see the orbs into safety this morning, but the attackers demonstrated otherwise. They came up out of the water by a Wailord, and climbed onto the ship. Well, two remained on the Wailord, a pair of swordsmen, one mounted on one of Unova's Zebstrika, also holding a bright pink orb. I also have the orb here, if anyone is iterested."

"Well, the Grunts and the Sage boarded the ship, and tore apart crate after crate, searching for the Sinnoh Orbs. They took plenty of decoy orbs, stuffing them into bags they carried. I heard discussion among them that they had recieved word from one of their spies that the Orbs would be replaced with decoys in the Museum, so that only one of the true Orbs would be displayed at the time, while two decoys were going to be in place of the originals all the time at the Museum. Well, they took all the Orbs they could find, including taking the real ones they found, though they couldn't seperate them from the decoys at that time."

"I returned above deck, and found the man on the Zebstrika looking around. He saw me, and then had the Zebstrika charge me, swinging his sword at me as the pair zoomed by. 'Kamakazi!' he shouted in one pass, and the next, 'For Ghetsis!' To see a man with such regard for his own life... well, I called out my Quagsire, and eventually, put them to a halt with Mud Shot, but not before the man yelled 'Kamakazi' one last time a blew himself up with an Electrode."

"After that, a Draco Meteor flew from what used to be the Captain's Cabin and knocked out Quagsire, leaving a hole in the deck. Then not one, but TWO Hydreigons flew upward from what was left of the ship. One of them, about to dive the ship, was quickly recalled, while the Grunts quickly took off and under water with their Wailord and loot."

"Everyone knows the story from there: we then managed to sail to Slateport in our condition, though I don't think we will be able to leave anytime soon."

"There you have it. We hope to have more details of what happened in the evening news, and hopefully a lead. Local police are reluctant to press the issue, especially with the powerful Poke'mon seen."

Braz is knocked out of his daydream, where he thought he had chased after the bird pokemon, by a soft headbutt from one of the Eevees.

A few crowds have formed around key locations of the city. A news crew is located around the docks, intervewing various sailors about an event that happened. The Poke'mon Center also appears to be crowded with sailors, mostly moaning about injured Poke'mon and themselves. And in a corner of the Market, a rich-looking man seems to be drinking a brown liquid...

"Let us get this straight," a Team Magma Grunt says. "You mean Team Aqua struck in the night and got not only the Lustrous Orb, but the other two orbs as well?"

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/71/Spr_BW_Ace_Trainer_M.png

"That is correct," replies the man. "What is even more striking, is that they seem to have used a wider variety of Poke'mon than should have been expected, and to make matters worse, Ghetsis was leading them."

"How do we know you can be trusted?" asks a Team Magma Grunt. "For all we know, you could be lying to us, a possible agent of Team Aqua."

"It's all over the news," the man replies. "I was surprised you hadn't heard it. Did your team suffer budget cuts since the awakening of the Hoenn Legends? That would explain why you didn't recieve word."

"...You have no idea." growls a Grunt.

"If you want to compete with Team Aqua better, you might want to find a few methods to make money for improvements. You especially need to work on your Team's computer security, Brutus; it took only fifteen minutes next to a computer for me to learn the names of all of your commanders and your plans to steal the Orb tonight after it reached port today."

"What?" calls the leader of the group, the supposed Grunt in front. "You hacked into our system? You'll pay dearly for that! Get him, men!"

"What? No, don't attack! I can give you more information! I can be of some use!"

Team Magma Grunt sent out Mightyena! (Level 28, Male)
Team Magma Grunt sent out Mightyena! (Level 26, Male)
Team Magma Grunt sent out Golbat! (Level 30, Male)
Team Magma Admin Brutus sent out Camerupt! (Level 35, Male)

Braz is knocked out of his daydream, where he thought he had chased after the bird pokemon, by a soft headbutt from one of the Eevees.

Kari - Route 117

Kari recognizes trouble when she sees it. At first she considers walking right by, but the fight generates too much attention for her to just ignore. Rushing forward, Kari nods to Vula, who jumps up and knocks a Pokeball off her belt. The ball rolls to a stop and releases a Quagsire, jumping forward with its signature call. "Vula, Heat Wave! Woop, Water Gun the Camerupt!"

The Vulpix runs forward and unleashes its Heat Wave. Trained specifically for battle against multiple enemies, it aims it perfectly at both Mightyenas and the Golbat. The Quagsire, meanwhile, focuses on attracting the attention of the Camerupt, shooting a jet of water at its face.

Vula used Heat Wave! [roll0] [roll1] [roll2]
Woop used Water Gun! [roll3]

Kari holds the Eevee in her arms, afraid of what it might do in battle and not sure if she can control it. Nevertheless, the sounds of fighting cause it to being to stir, and it pokes it head out of her arms, snarling as if it wants to join the fight.

"We have company, men!" yells Magma Admin Brutus. "Get them too! Camerupt, Protect!"

Foe Camerupt protected itself!

The Admin and the Camerupt are suddenly surrounded by a transparent green sphere, and then it disapears as the Grunts make their moves.

"Mightyena! Bite that Quagsire!"

The bites dig into Woop, but he resists the damage, shrugging it off enough to continue pressing the attack.

"Vula, cover with Protect! Woop, keep on the pressure with a Mud Bomb!"

Vula moves in front of the two and creates a green shield in front of them, blocking off both Woop and Haunter from the attacks of the others. Woop, meanwhile, aims for the mostly beaten Mighteyena and flings an orb of mud towards it. The orb flies over Vula's shield at the Mighteyena.

"You think you can do better?" asks the grunt whose Mightyena fainted. "Use your own Poke'mon! I'm useless without Poke'mon, so I'll see you back at base!"

Vula does a good job blocking the attacks aimed at Woop, putting her shield in the way of the shadowy orb and preventing the Mightyena from reaching Woop.

"Alright, good job! Now-" The Eevee in her arms leaps forward and charges, Kari reaching outwards to try to grab it as it goes. "H-hey! Um, Vula, Woop, switch off!"

Vula's shield fades away as she fires a line of fire at the Mightyena that just tried to attack her teammate, her flames moving almost instantly as the shield comes down. Woop, meanwhile, rushes towards the other enemy Pokemon. Just as it nears them, however, it puts up a similar shield to Vula's, road-blocking the path.

The Eevee, meanwhile, rushes forward and bashes head-first into the Litwick, its own body covered in shadows as it hits the target.

Woop used Protect! [roll0] (Accuracy: 100%)

But it failed!

"Oh, right... you don't know how to Protect, do you?"

The foe Camerupt, its master still asleep or waking up, takes matters into its own paws.

Foe Camerupt protected itself!

"That's no good, says a nearby grunt, noding at the Camerupt. "At least it protected the boss last time."

(Eevee is in front of Woop, meaning Woop can easily protect it. Woop can also more easily protect self. Vula is behind Woop some, so more difficult to protect them, and Kari is behind Vula, making her the most difficult to protect. If the protect fails at one stage (anything but a 1), it will also fail at the later stages.

Protect can be used to protect the user and perhaps one other (usually the trainer, or their young if wild) from harm, but expanding it farther makes is weaker and more likely to break.)

"You're too hurt, Woop, and I can't risk you getting injured by that...thing. Vula, run some interference and keep that Eevee safe." Woop nods, and accepts the beam of light that strikes him, returning him to the safety of his Pokeball. Vula, meanwhile, turns to fight, moving forward and unleashing another wave of flame, this time only at the Mightyenas and mostly to act as a distraction.

Kari moves to the Ace Trainer. "What is wrong with that Mightyena? It looks like it's in pain, like it's gripped with darkness or something..."

While it looked clear enough when it was sent out, when it attacked, it became cloaked in a shadowy cloud of sorts. I think I know what's going on, but I want to make sure..."

The Ace Trainer pulls the goggles to his eyes and fiddles with one of the knobs.

"Cypher? Here? That's no normal Poke'mon... someone's turned- wait... this is odd... both the Mightyena and the Eevee are Shadow Poke'mon, though the Eevee's shadow aura is less right now..."

"Cypher?" replies the Grunt commanding the Mightyena. "No. It's one of Magma's new projects, mimicing-"

"No," interrupts Brutus, getting to his feet.

"No?" asks the Grunt, looking back at Brutus.

"No," repeats Brutus. "You say that our boss permitted such a thing, a Shadow Poke'mon project, following in Cypher's footsteps. While I may not know the news of the world, I know for a fact that WE HAVE NO SHADOW POKE'MON PROJECT! CAMERUPT!"

"Then did your partner?"

"Aud?"

"Translation?"

"Aud, Audino Aud Aud!"

"We have got to get ourselves a translator... all right, we have to check the other prisoner, and our friend here seems to have misplaced his partner. You and you, you two are to stay here with this Audino. The rest of us will go and check out the other one. Remember, if one of you disapears, the boss wants an alert out ASAP. And if the prisoner gets out, what do you do?"

One of the Grunts (one of the two that was chosen to guard) replies, "Get a jolt of electricity to the alarm box, setting off the alarm. Why else do you think so many Audinos here know Thunderwave?"

"All right. Just remember: screw up bigtime, and when Hydra get's off its diet... you'll be the main course. All right, let's move! Oh, and I'll be sending a couple chairs your way shortly."

With that, most of the large group takes off, leaving behind two Audinos (one of which was there from before) and a Team Plasma Grunt.

"Aud?"

"I would rather be in combat training too... or at the least, figure out what the bosses' meeting is about... but here we are on guard duty. Do either of you have cards? ...Thought not..."

Ooc:
sorry about the delay in posting, sorta forgot about this thread... I'll edit to reformat properly once I'm on a computer,.not a 'droid

Thomas picks up the cards, and leans over to the cell door. Speaking through the grille:
Fancy a game? You might be able to explain why I'm here while we play, hmm?

Hoenn: Night 3: Evening

???- Thomas

"Oh, you're up," says the grunt. "Cards? I think we'd like a game. We just need the chairs to arrive before we get started. Of course, you have a chair in there, right?"

The grunt takes the deck through the slot in the middle of the door, and looks around as the alarm stops. "They solved the problem, I see... well, I suppose I can tell you a little information. See, you're in Team Eternity's headquarters, beneath-"

"Aud!" calls one of the Audinos, flashing a warning glance.

"Oh, right, we're not supposed to say where Eternity's headquarters are, especially not in front of outsiders... well, I can say that you are still in Hoenn, but don't bother with phones: the sages and the head warriors have the place wired to block all outgoing and incoming calls. As to why you were taken, one of the warriors wanted the prison tested, to see for flaws, and another... well, if I recall correctly, it was said that you were attacked by Argravo's Parasect to catch you."

At this point, a couple Audinos come down the hallway with three chairs and a small table. They quickly glare at the grunt, one of them making a "zip it!" motion over their own mouth, and then take off down the hallway, before another Audino, a special one, comes down in their place.

"Oh... hello, Butler," mutters the Grunt.

The purple Audino, Butler, pulls out a notepad and pen, and writes down something quickly before passing it to the Grunt.

"The other one secure? All right... meeting over? Promotion for the active group? Lucky... and the orb-"

"Aud..." growls Butler in warning, with a slight cackling of electricity in the air around him.

"Silence? All right, all right... we'll let you know if anything happens."

"Aud!" says the Audino, before stomping off down the hallway.

Route 117-Kari

"Haunter, you did well," calls the Ace Trainer, withdrawing his fainted Haunter. "At least you still have- wait a minute... oh dear..."

Foe Camerupt used Flame Charge at foe Shadow Mightyena!
Foe Shadow Mightyena fainted!
Foe Camerupt's speed rose!
Foe Camerupt used Flame Charge at foe Litwick!
Foe Litwick's Flash Fire increase the power of fire-type moves!

"Well done, Camerupt!" calls Brutus, grinning evily. "We have the spy unconcious, thanks to our opponent, and his Shadow Poke'mon knocked out. And well done, men! We appear to have something valuable to our opponent, too!"

"Keep at them, sir?" asks a Grunt.

"Keep at it!" replies Brutus. "I want this spy tied up and tight, so let's get you two who aren't battling to do it. And while taking him away, take away that... what is that thing?" he finishes, looking at the device that his ally Mightyena is holding.

"Classified," replies the Ace Trainer. "But if you don't give it back, you could face more problems than just Team Aqua. Or whoever is playing us all."

"Don't make me have my next Poke'mon use its full power... Slaking, go!"

Ally Ace Trainer sent out Slaking! (Level 43, Male, ???)

For Kari:
Something is... off with this Slaking. It has a white aura that slowly fluncuates somewhat. Something is off with this Poke'mon, but it is not a Shadow Poke'mon.

"This is Valerie of the Poke'mon News Network, while our friend, Darryl, is still in Slateport in Hoenn, where he has found a couple of interesting stories."

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/b/b8/DPCameraman.png

"Darryl here, reporting live in Slateport City. It appears earlier today a raid was made on the Slateport marketplace, resulting in the arrest of five individuals on regards to wielding illegal substances. One of those arrested was the museum curator, who had lost a vital exibit this morning."

"Thank you, Darryl. We now turn to another event in Hoenn, to the other port city of the region, Lilycove. Team Aqua, apparently celebrating their successful thieft of the Sinnoh Dragon Orbs, held battles against each other in the open streets of the city. Athorities have been unable to pin any blame on any single Team Aqua Grunt or Admin, but investigations are underway...
