-Raine-

------
Raine surged to the top of the water, meeting the thin layer of skin at the egress of the abyss. He sprung out, landing cleanly on the shoreline. He looked smugly at the group. "I wanted a dramatic entrance", he said, in a rather mordant tone, though he doubted it would be picked up on. "Well, we're here now, shouldn't we at least start moving?" He looked exasperated at the group. "Why is everybody split up already, have they forgotten where we need to be? Lets stock up and get to the ruins." He turned to Tyre. "And who the hell is this new guy, how do we know whether we can trust him?" Raine turned. "I'll tell you what, Mr. Leader, you figure all of this out for once, wake me up when you do, the swimming made me sleepy." With that, Raine flopped to the ground, waiting to be woken up with this was all sorted out, which he did not presume would be any time soon.

OOC: BUMP!!!!

Senjo

-----
The full moon luminated the blue, night sky. The forest outside of a place called Violet Town was cold and dark; only a few rays of moonlight were able to get past the bushy trees. There was no wind, there were no coulds. The forest was quiet and calm.

A bush next to a greatly sized tree russled around. Six pointly, little, dark grey claws split the bush apart to see ahead. A dark blue eye looked around its location, and then went back into the bush. A couple of movements in the bush later, and two Pokemon sped out of the bush and stopped at a fat tree. Two leaves dropped from it, and one landed on one of the Pokemon.

The Pokemon that the leaf landed on was a Duskull, levitating blobish Pokemon who had a skull mask for a face and one dark blue eye. This Pokemon's name was Senjo. The other, a Ghastly-- a dark ball with two large eyes, a mouth with pointy teeth, and a purpleish gas spewing around it--, was named Gastro, after its grandfather. The two consorted with eachother.

"I don't think we should be going through with this," said Gastro, "I mean, if the night partol catches us, we'll be gonners for sure."

"You actually believe in the night patrol?" Senjo replied, "Pfft. They don't exist. It's just some story your elders tell you to stop you from getting some fresh night air. Anyways, that Zangoose said it was really close to here."

"You're going to believe in that old coot's story? A tree that talks? And you said the night patrol was hard to believe."

"Oh, shut up and come on." Senjo moved on into the dark forest, and Gatro reluctantly followed. Senjo had sped up ahead and Gastro trailing behind him. Then, out of the blue, they both stopped and looked ahead. In their path was an odd looking tree. It was only about 4 feet tall and bright brown. It had 3 branches: one on top of it, and two others sticking out of the side. The two side branches each had three ball-shaped leaves.

Curious, Senjo poked it. In response, the tree jiggled left to right. Even more curious now, Senjo it again and again. The tree kept jiggling, as if doing some kind of dance. Then, Gastro tried it. However, he had no arms or legs, so he had to lick it. The tree then stopped jiggling. The saliva drippled down to its roots. Then, it popped out of the ground, revealing two stubby legs instead of roots. The tree turned around to face the two. It had beady little eyes and its mouth was in the form of a frown. It was not happy to be wet.

Senjo and Gastro started to back up when the tree reached into the ground and brought back a boulder the size of Gastro without his gas. He threw the boulder right onto Senjo's skull mask, causing him to flinch. Gastro replied to the attack with a Shadow Ball. Darkness gathered up into a ball around Gastro's mouth. He shot that ball right at the opposing tree, which knocked it down for a quick second.

Senjo finally recovered from the earlier attack. He focused on the Sudowoodo and launched a Will-o-wisp at it. The flames of it scorched the side of the tree. "Now, run!" Senjo yelled. The duo quickly sped away from the scene, hoping to lose the tree.

When they finally got out of the forest, the quickly hovered back to the Sprout Tower. When they got in, they went to the 3rd floor, which was completely abandoned and was the Ghosts hideout. Gastro and Senjo got in their corner and talked.

"See? I told you it was a bad idea," said Gastro.

"You said it didn't even exist, not that it was a bad idea," Senjo replied. After that, he yawned, "We should go to sleep. That tree really hurt me with it's attack."

"Yeah," Gastro replied. As the sun started to come up, the two finally started to fall asleep for the day. Senjo planned to wake up again at night and inspect that tree, even if Gastro wouldn't come. After that thought passed his head, Senjo drifted off.

OoC: Probably one of my longest posts. =D

IC:
Zigaram

------------------------------------
Zigaram lounged on his throne, meditating. The room was eerily quiet. Suddenly, Wynam the Weaville burst in, looking frightened and shaken.
"My lord--"
Wynam didn't get the chance to finish his sentence, as he was blasted backwards with a psychic blast with the force of a bullet. He lay an the ground, whimpering in pain.
"I have told you not to enter while I am meditating, Wynam. You deserve that pain."
Zigaram floated up above his chair, his cloak billowing behind him. He landed gracefully on the tiled floor.
"Now, what was it you had to say?"
"Yo-your gladiators... they're... ready..."
"Ah, excellent."
Zigaram walked out of his throne room without a backward glance at the injured Wynam, who continued to lie injured on the floor. Zigaram glanced at the stairs leading to the colloseum and chuckled.
"How primitive."
Zigaram jumped out the large, arched open window into the calm and murky sky. He let himself freefall for a moment, savoring the cool, dry air on his face. His cloak opened up around him, giving the impression of a giant black bat in the sky. As he reached the window on the colloseum floor, he blasted in with a wave of psychic power and landed in his observation deck. Sitting down, he surveyed the colloseum. Two pokemon were chained on either side of the arena. One was a general newcomer, an Ekans with both eyes missing, wearing a rag cloth to hide the wounds. The other was a veteran of several arena battles already, a Zangoose. His fur was matted and flecked with specks of blood- he had not washed in months. Both of his sets of claws had been replaced with metal razors. Zigaram smiled. It was going to be a good fight.
"Begin."
The Pokemon holding the chains released them and viciously shoved the two Pokemon into the arena. The Zangoose was the first to attack, barrelling forward with a brutal shoulder charge. However, the Ekans was surprisingly good despite his lack of sight, slipping under the Zangoose's feet and tripping him up with his tail. As he fell, the Ekans readied a poison bite attack and aimed for the neck. However, the Zangoose rolled out of the fall as the bite attack whizzed by harmlessly. Getting to his feet, the Zangoose lashed out with a furious slash, smacking the Ekans in the side and leaving deep gashes. Hissing in pain, the Ekans shot several globs of Toxic, but the Zangoose backed up as they splashed on the ground. Zigaram could already tell that the victor was going to be the Zangoose. Not only was he more experienced, but the Ekans was new to the colloseum and wasn't aiming to kill, only to incapacitate. The Ekans tried to wrap around the Zangoose but only got his arm, squeezing tightly in an attempt to cut off the circulation to the arm. However, the Zangoose didn't hesitate and instead impaled his own arm with the claw on his other hand, severing the Ekan's spine as it fell, limp but alive, to the ground. The Zangoose didn't even flinch as pulled out his claw from his own arm and inspected the blood on it curiously, licking the razor and tasting the salty tang of blood.
A true killer. He'll go far.
The Zangoose towered over the helpless Ekans and looked up towards Zigaram. Zigaram didn't hesitate and gave him the thumbs-down sign. The Zangoose cleaved downward, slicing the Ekans in two. It struggled for a second, and then was still.
"What glorious entertainment."
OOC: How was that?

Takai & Kensei

Night had fallen, a few pokemon could be heard waking up for the nocternal day. Takai however wasn't getting any sleep. Ugh...this is taking forever. They should've been here by now. What's holding them? Takai was staring down at Violet City, his eyes able to see perfectly in the darkness.

"Getting impatient wouldn't help now, so relax Takai." The absol instantly spun around. "Didn't realize you were awake Kensei." The Elekid walked forward proudly and looked down at the city. His eyes couldn't see in the dark but it was easy to notice the city with its bright lights. "Pay attention then idiot. If you're so impatient then why don't you run down to the city? Get us a few supplies and see if the rebels are even there."

"Fine, anything's better then this boredom." Takai quickly jumped off the ledge landing on one a few feet below. He then did it again, and again, and again until he reached the ground in another six jumps. He quickly sniffed the air but smelled nothing but the smell of the city. Well that's good. When the rebels come our scent is hidden. That Riolu may sense us but with us being so high, its doubtful. Takai began to run towards the city at a brisk pace.

Well that should keep him busy. Now for what I was wanting to do. Kensei moved to a higher point on the ruins. He climbed up to a large flat space with a few boulders lying around. The perfect spot to train. Kensei charged up and began pulverizing the boulders, one by one.

Nak

Nak awoke with a jolt.

"Air! Air!" he yelled, through his voice was distorted by the water. He immediately swam to the surface and took a breath.
It was night, and some Feebas were begging to jump out of the water.

"Pathetic creatures....why are they even here? They should all be dead. They are not even worth eating."
Then he caught something on the corner of his eye. A Kricketune was standing on the shore, along with two Linoone. And they were staring right at him.
He swam to shore and confronted them.

"Who are you??? What you do here?"

The Kricketune answered. "Hello, my name is Melokrick, a faithful servant of Zigaram. We were looking for some rebels, and were going to make camp here."

"NO!!!" Nak shouted, angered anyone would even consider staying in his territory. "Leave now! Aqua Tail!"
He then whipped Melokrick with his long tail, sending him flying into a tree.

"Foolish Totodile! How dare you oppose Zigarams army!!" He then took out a whistle and blew hardly on it. Suddenly, about a dozen Linoone, Golduck, and Granbull jumped out from behind the trees.
*Crap! Theres...too...too many of them! I cant take them all!

"Kill him!!!" Melokrick shouted. The group was begging to close in on him, but Nak quickly ran off into the dark woods.

"Idiots! Dont let him get away! Get him!" Melokrick commanded 4 of the Pokemon to chase after Nak.
After about 10 minutes of constant running, Nak took a rest and looked behind him.
*Phew....I think I lost them. No one knows this forest better than me!....yes, Im probably the smartest Pokemon on the planet! Im 100% sure...YES...completely sure...he he...
He snatched a few Oran Berrys off of a tree, and continued walking. Two questions were fluttering Naks mind: Who was this Zigaram person? And who were these rebels?

OOC: Nak talks a bit weird cause hes mildly insane. Oh...keep in mind I havnt officially joined yet, WMBQ still has me on trial.

 

[Splash_King]

OOC: ... I havn't posted for 18 days... I am ashamed. DX Truly irresponsible of me... I need to get back to work.

Requiem:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just as soon as Requiem had approached the three, he wanted to abandon the Sandshrew and continue moving onwards, he had no time for an injured, or worse, pokemon. Rather than giving assuring or friendly eye contact to the Sandshrew, he stared off into the distance ahead, glaring spitefully down the path which led to their destination. His uncaring thoughts on the pokemon's possibly dire situation were quite obvious.

"No we're safe--I lost him crossing over the lake over there."

Humph... Good, we don't need a damned Onix slowing us down even further, this Sandshrew is more than enough to waste our time. Requiem wasn't shaken or worried about the Onix before Rocky assured them it was gone, but he was still relieved the group wouldn't be tackled with another obstacle. However, he still knew time could be running out quickly for them. He waited for the three to resolve everything and be on their way.

"I'm good, I just need a lil' water."

Requiem let out a sigh of annoyance once Rocky spoke once more, irritated by the fact they stopped, wasting precious time, to only give a pokemon water. Water was obviously abundant around here, and he thought helping this pokemon was purely redundant to their situation. In a somewhat annoyed tone, he spoke to his allies.

"Give Rocky", he said in a heartless tone, "some water, and let's be on our way."

Requiem impatiently waited for someone to offer up their supplies to Rocky, he was far too stingy and selfish to give the dehydrated pokemon anything. He banked on the thought that since Eterna and Samlin seemed rather caring, they'd waste their water on Rocky without hesitation.

"I saw a camp back their, it looked they left in a hurra. Was that urs? Where are you all headed?"

This time when Rocky spoke, Requiem's eyes narrowed just slightly towards him, instantly becoming suspicious of his curiosity. Ofcourse, considering Zigaram's minions should not be on the verge of dehydration, and would never be so friendly, Requiem decided to not lash out verbally. Requiem spoke once more, but still in his usual, cold voice.

"That's our business, so do mind your own."

Requiem then turned to Eterna and Samlin, his occulars gleaming with a clear distastefulness for the situation.

"We don't need to tell him anything... Do we now? Water is all he needs, not information."

Requiem quickly withdrew from the group before he'd hear their responses, he was content with what he said, and had nothing else to voice. He took a few steps away from the other pokemon, keeping his optics glued to the pathway for their destination. It was quite clear he wanted to get moving - immediatly.

Meanwhile... ... ...

Kajishi:

----------------

Above the sparkling sea of the Orre region, clouds lazily hung overhead in the vast, clear skies. A beautiful, sunny, and clear day was taking place. However, as if breaking the peacefulness, an ominous shadow rocketed across the sky above, darting through the clouds as if slicing through the air itself. Jetting through the outskirts of the clouds, a large Dragonite came into view, speeding far above the sea, as if it was a highway in the sky. On that speeding pokemon's back, was a lone Monferno, leisurely laying on his back, atop the Dragonite. It was, ofcourse, Kajishi.

Kajishi had been sleeping the entire voyage across the ocean skies, as Dragonite flew quite swiftly and smoothly. However, his eyes slowly began to creep open, revealing his occulars to the sun. Placing a hand above his face, he squinted his eyes to shield himself from the harsh sunlight.

"Damnit... I'm getting bored as hell, we better be near Citadark."

Kajishi began to roughly elbow the Dragonite in it's back, as if to get his attention. He began to yell at it out of frustration.

"Hey, stupid dragon! Hurry up, I'm freakin' bored! Are we ther-"

Kajishi was interupted when he could hear faint noises in the distance. He could here mechanical contraptions operating, he heard many Wingull and Pelipper that surrounded the area. He also could hear ships and other sea-worthy contraptions. He ignored the noises however, until, that is, he heard the rumbling of something fierce. Volcanic activity, perhaps? Rolling onto his stomach, Kajishi looked ahead of the Dragonite, finally realizing his destination has arrived - Citadark Isle.

"Finally! That took forever! Hurry up and land."

The Dragonite began to slow itself into a mild descent, flapping it's miniscule wings. Slower and slower, the dragon pokemon began to reach the ground, slowing turning upright. Kajishi grabbed on tight as to not fall off. Eventually, the two plummeted to the port of Citadark Isle, the Dragonite landing gingerly on the concrete.

Kajishi quickly let go of the pokemon and slid down it's back, quickly plummeting to the ground. With a roll, he kicked off the back of it and went into a flip, quickly landing apon the solid ground of the port, crouched over. Slowly rising up, he turned to the Dragonite.

"Alright, your job's done. Go to the Citadark transportation trafficking facility, I'll come get you when I need to get off this damned place. Dismissed."

With that, the Dragonite quickly flapped it's wings, a gust erupting beneath it's feet. A normal pokemon would be blown away, but Kajishi wasn't very phazed. With a mighty jump, the Dragonite took off, lashing out into the air. It flew off into the distance, circling Citadark to the designated area.

"I hate flying, I hate the sea, and I hate islands... Gaaah, what a wonderful ****ing day. Atleast this job's important... "

Being a fire type, Kajishi wasn't fond of the sky nor sea, he'd have to bear it one more time, however. But for now, Kajishi began walking off the dock, and towards the Citadark Isle laboratory. As soon as he arrived at the elevator, or front door, he was greeted by two pokemon, a Houndoom and a Magnezone. The Houndoom was supposedly a guard, and perhaps the Magnezone an escort of some sort. The Magnezone spoke to Kajishi in a monotonous, and perhaps even angered voice.

"Who are you, and state your business!

"Tch, you don't even know who I am? Sort guard you are, dumbshit. Learn to do your job, I was expected to come here, now let me in."

The Magnezone was somewhat bewildered by the Monferno's brazen personality, and it was getting on it's nerves. He asked again, but in a much louder voice.

"Who the hell are you, and what is your business here?! Answer, or you're about to get thrown into the sea, fire type! As a guard, I won't stand for this ****!

"... Heheh, Zigaram wouldn't be thrilled to hear about your stupidity. Kajishi, sent by Zigaram himself. Now let. Me. IN.

"K-kajishi?? ... O-oh, yes, we were expecting you. Enter the elevator!"

The Magnezone seemed a bit rattled that it had disrespected Zigaram's minion, sent by direct orders. It didn't dare say anything else disrespectful, in fear of being reported to Zigaram himself.

Kajishi quickly struted past the Magnezone, letting off a distasteful glare to the electric type. The Magnezone completely ignored it however, consequences could be dire enough as is. Kajishi entered the elevator, which quickly closed and automatically began to climb Citadark, into the laboratory. Quickly reaching the entrance, the elevator opened to reveal the sinister lab.

"... This place is freakin' shady. Heh, too sinister. Not my style."

Kajishi entered into the scientific area, walking past numerous machines and contraptions. Gigantic computer terminals and hard drives were riddled all over the first floor, as well as many pipes with various, ominous looking liquids. Many pokemon were hard at work, entering countless commands into their computers. Others were transporting heavy goods, or doing many other suspicious things.

Kajishi finally reached the second elevator, closing it with utmost haste. The elevator immediatly activated, and Kajishi rose up to the second floor. Once it opened, he immediatly left the elevator and into a strange room. Gigantic, bolted doors riddled the place, perhaps three times as tall as a Gyarados, as if a corridor into death itself. Some doors were being banged apon, the rattling of the steel nearly unbearable. A few of the doors were being pounded ferociously from the inside, as if something monstrous was rampaging inside.

Kajishi eventually reached a door labeled "M-7", which he assumed stood for "Manic-seven", the work in progress. He opened the small door, revealing a rather large, maybe even empty room. On the right side, was a huge computer terminal, built into the wall. On the other, was a tinted glass wall, nearly as tall as the room itself. A Metang seemed to come from nowhere, approaching Kajishi. It spoke to him coldly.

"I see you've arrived, Kajishi... I do not understand why we need YOU, but you are still here to stay."

"Cut to the chase... where's the Manic? I want to see this go down with my own eyes, heh."

"Behind the tinted glass, ofcourse. Observe."

The Metang levitated it's way over to the left edge of the tinted glass window, latching onto a lever and pulling it down. With a loud, rusty screech, the tinted glass began to loose it's tint, revealing a nearly pitch black room beyond. In the center, hooked up by cables, was an odd Pupitar, tinted a mysterious black.

The cables seemed to be flowing some kind of liquid into the Pupitar very slowly, what it was, was unknown to Kajishi. Suddenly, three metal spikes, multiple cables and wires attached to them, sprung from the walls at the top of the room. Their sharp tips glew with a sinister purplish black energy, launching a spike of energy into the Pupitar. The pokemon let out a terrifying screech from the intense pain, even if it had endured such a thing perhaps hundreds of times before.

The lasers paused for a moment, and then fired once more. The Pupitar continued to screech, each time they fired, it gained a sinister, blacker aura to it. It wore off each time however, which was the cause for it firing many a time.

"****... Remind me not to become a Manic."

"As you can see, the process of turning a pokemon Manic is extremely painful. Atleast it toughens up the wimp. It's only a pawn to master Zigaram anyhow, who cares what becomes of it."

"... Right then. As you said, I'm not needed here. Show me where I can chill."

"Humph... Ofcourse. Go to the exit, enter the elevator, and 12 doors down. Take a left, and you'll find our resting area."

"Later then... douche"

The Metang caught wind of Kajishi's petty insult, but he made nothing of it. He continued observing the Pupitar's obscure torture as Kajishi left the room, leaving to the dorms. As he left, he thought to himself.

Well, this is gonna be boring as hell... I need to pick a fight soon or something. With that, Kajishi left to the dorms.

OOC: ...Longest post of mine yet? Probably. o.o;;; I'm writting an entire novel here. :lol:

IC:

Nak

After walking for about 5 minutes or so, Nak stopped to take another small rest. A Sentret fell out of a nearby tree, causing Nak to flinch. Ever since the Melokrick incident, he had been on constant guard.

"Stupid Pokemon! Leave!" .....the Sentret stood where it was, staring at Nak.

"Leave, damnitt!" Nak kicked the Sentret out of the way.

"I hate when those things pop up. They are so annoying....hey, whats that?....****!" Nak noticed that the four Pokemon following him earlier had caught up with him. He quickly hid behind a tree. He waited a few minutes until they left, and continued walking.
After a few more enemy-free minutes, Nak was near the edge of the woods. He then realized that this was the end of the territory he knew, and had stayed for over ten years.

"Hmmm....should I leave? If I keep going, I likely get lost....but if I stay here, those Pokemon will kill me.......hmmm.....Ill go."

Nak kept walking forward. The forest was less dark here, which meant that he would be spotted easier. He speed-up his walking speed. Soon there was no more woods left, just an endless green plain. And he speed-up his walking even more. Just moments later he reached a big rocky mountain, with a small cave in it.

"Quite the view here. Ive never noticed this before....I believe Qua...som..someone told me that this place was called the Dark Cave...."

He entered the pitch-black cave. Even through it was dark, Naks eyes were well adapt to places like this. Most of his life was spent in the murky lake or the dark woods. After a while, he came to the exit. But then he heard something.

"I think he went through here. Come on, lets go guys." It was one of the Pokemon from before. After listening to it echo for a moment, Nak immediately left through the exit."
The sudden change from dark to light hurt his eyes, and blinded him for a second.

"Hey....I never knew there was a city there! WHY DIDNT ANYONE TELL ME!? Idiots!"
He walked down the flowered path, and reached a sign.
Wel---e to Vi--et Ci--
Many of the words were either smeared out, or completely covered with graffiti.

"What the heck that supposed to mean?! What are these markings?...might as well go in. " He walked into the city, unaware of what to expect.

OOC: I dont like it very much....it took too long anyways. I couldent think of anything. Hopefully my posts will get better soon.

------------
Jet looked around, comprehending the days recent events. Storm had evolved, and a Groyvle had joined their group. Happy to see Maxis, Jet finished off his drink, holding his head fighting off a brain freeze. Once he regained his train of thought Jet said, "I don't think he should stop at the gym. From what I've seen this isn't a very friendly area and it is important he get to the ruins. We can train on the way."

Jet wasn't sure if the others would agree with him, after shooting down his last idea and hoped they'd all see his reasoning. Jet followed Maxis out the door, leaving the others behind. It was now night, however the city was fully lit making it easier to see. Jet caught up to Maxis, not wanting to get caught alone on the street and tried to start a conversation to pass the time, "So, how did your trip go?"

Rocky walked over to Requiem to meet him face to face. He felt disrespected by the Sneasels tone, and cold words. It was obvious the pokemon was hiding something. Rocky locked eyes for a moment and then spoke, "Look, if ya'll are in some sort of trouble...I wouldn't say nothin." He glanced over at the two others, as they seemed more accepting, "If you guys don't mind, maybe I walk with ya a little. I'm kinda on my own now, and I'd don't be knowing too much of these parts."

 

[Shadow*91]

Takai

Takai was in the city, leaping across the rooftops. He leapt gracefully and fast, easily covering half the city in a few minutes. First things first, supplies. Takai leapt to the gym and then leapt down behind it. A Drapion was there keeping guard. "Who are you, stranger?" Takai smiled, it wasn't often he got to show off his rank within Zigaram's forces.

"I am Takai, under direct orders of the Master. You will let me through."

The Drapion nodded, "Yes sir!" He used his tail to open the door and then stepped aside to let him through. Takai walked inside, making sure to watch everything. He may be among allies but they could still attack him. If they were to defeat him then he would lose his rank and influence to the one that beat him. Takai went towards a Machoke standing by a poster of Zigaram. As soon as he neared, the Machoke pressed a swicth in the posters eye, revealing a staircase to a lower area.

Takai went downstairs and looked around. He was in what lookes like a bar but was really a secret meating place for all Zigaram followers. Takai walked up to the counter where a Magmar was watching a couple Chatot fight. "Heh...that big one better win."

"I hate to interrupt your petty fight, but I need supplies." The Magmar turned to see Takai waiting patiently at the counter. "And who're you?"

"I'm Takai, under direct orders of the Master."

The Magmar nodded, "Alright, well what do you need?" Takai looked at all the supplies behind the Magmar. Few seemed useful.

"Give me some of those potions. Oh, and a pack to carry them in." The Magmar grabbed a dusty backpack from below the counter and threw about seven or eight potions inside. Takai adjusted the straps before sliding it on with some difficulty. Thumbs and conventional arms would be so useful. As he turned around, Takai was surprised to see his path blocked by a large Golem. "So you're Takai? I don't see why the boss favors a wimp like you. I bet I could kill you in one blow."

"You're welcome to try but I'm needed elsewhere so you'll have to try some other time." The Golem however laughed as its arms and legs retracted into its body. "Rollout!" it screamed before its head vanished into the hard rocky sphere of his body. It began to spin very fast and then rolled straight at Takai.

"Hmph...childs play. Ice Beam!" Takai fired off a blast of blue light at the Golem and froze it solid in its tracks. Takai simply leapt over the frozen pokemon and left the gym. As he got outside, he quickly leapt back up to the rooftops. He then started leaping around the rooftops of the city, looking for any sign of the rebels.

"So, how did your trip go?"

Takai stopped and looked back, that voice sounded familiar. As he did he noticed a Squirtle talking with a Riolu.Either this is a coincidence or...found them. Takai looked around and saw a Ryhorn, Charmander, Porygon2, and Slowpoke all by the river. Takai quickly turned and ran back towards the ruins. So they did make it. Maybe Kensei is right and I do need patience.

Takai was in the city, leaping across the rooftops. He leapt gracefully and fast, easily covering half the city in a few minutes. First things first, supplies. Takai leapt to the gym and then leapt down behind it. A Drapion was there keeping guard. "Who are you, stranger?" Takai smiled, it wasn't often he got to show off his rank within Zigaram's forces.

"I am Takai, under direct orders of the Master. You will let me through."

The Drapion nodded, "Yes sir!" He used his tail to open the door and then stepped aside to let him through. Takai walked inside, making sure to watch everything. He may be among allies but they could still attack him. If they were to defeat him then he would lose his rank and influence to the one that beat him. Takai went towards a Machoke standing by a poster of Zigaram. As soon as he neared, the Machoke pressed a swicth in the posters eye, revealing a staircase to a lower area.

Takai went downstairs and looked around. He was in what lookes like a bar but was really a secret meating place for all Zigaram followers. Takai walked up to the counter where a Magmar was watching a couple Chatot fight. "Heh...that big one better win."

"I hate to interrupt your petty fight, but I need supplies." The Magmar turned to see Takai waiting patiently at the counter. "And who're you?"

"I'm Takai, under direct orders of the Master."

The Magmar nodded, "Alright, well what do you need?" Takai looked at all the supplies behind the Magmar. Few seemed useful.

"Give me some of those potions. Oh, and a pack to carry them in." The Magmar grabbed a dusty backpack from below the counter and threw about seven or eight potions inside. Takai adjusted the straps before sliding it on with some difficulty. Thumbs and conventional arms would be so useful. As he turned around, Takai was surprised to see his path blocked by a large Golem. "So you're Takai? I don't see why the boss favors a wimp like you. I bet I could kill you in one blow."

"You're welcome to try but I'm needed elsewhere so you'll have to try some other time." The Golem however laughed as its arms and legs retracted into its body. "Rollout!" it screamed before its head vanished into the hard rocky sphere of his body. It began to spin very fast and then rolled straight at Takai.

"Hmph...childs play. Ice Beam!" Takai fired off a blast of blue light at the Golem and froze it solid in its tracks. Takai simply leapt over the frozen pokemon and left the gym. As he got outside, he quickly leapt back up to the rooftops. He then started leaping around the rooftops of the city, looking for any sign of the rebels.

"So, how did your trip go?"

Takai stopped and looked back, that voice sounded familiar. As he did he noticed a Squirtle talking with a Riolu.Either this is a coincidence or...found them. Takai looked around and saw a Ryhorn, Charmander, Porygon2, and Slowpoke all by the river. Takai quickly turned and ran back towards the ruins. So they did make it. Maybe Kensei is right and I do need patience.

OoC: long post ftw

Storm and Vladmir

Storm and Vladmir sat together, muttering to themselves. Storm had left the Grovyle, seeing as how he felt he was already strong enough. The two of them followed Jet and Maxis. Suddenly, Vladmir stopped. He sniffed the air, and bared his teeth.

Storm looked at him in a confused look, "Whats up Vlad?"

Vladmir continued sniffing the familiar stench of what he knew to be a Dark pokemon. He looked across the building tops and saw an Absol. The same Absol, it seemed, that had attacked the Rebel group earlier.

Vladmir growled, "We've got company...." Vladmir then sprung into the air, wings spread as he soared high into the sky. He then turned and dive bombed toward the rooftops, screeching his horrible cry as he dove. He could clearly see the Absol in his sights now, and he glared at it.

He calmed his mind, and used the small amount of Psychic power Aerodactyls had. Floating Rocks appeared at his side as if by magic, and then made themselves bigger, and bigger. "AncientPower!" he yelled.

The rocks flew forward at bullet speed toward the Absol. Vladmir had a hunger for blood, and he felt he was about to be satisfied.

Ooc: Im baaaack. Got my stuff taken care of, and i can prolly resume a more active role now.

Takai

Oh crap. Takai quick:y changed course and leapt to another building just in time. The attack destroyed the building he had been on barely a second ago. I've been spotted, I can't fight these guys without Kensei. That Aerodactyl is fast, if I don't concentrate I could die. Takai looked around for a way out. That's when he noticed the civilians were trying to see what happened. Takai had a brilliant idea and jumped onto a higher building.

"Pokemon of Violet city! I am Takai, an Absol from Hoenn. That Aerodactyl has come to destroy your great city. And he's not alone. He did it under the orders of those pokemon over there!" Takai quickly motioned to the rebel group. "They are terrorists that want to destroy everything. Now defend you home! Defeat them!" Takai turned and ran, just in time to see the city's pokemon start a riot towards the rebels. Oh, Kensei won't want to miss this.

OoC: now heres some good action for the rebels

Senjo

----
Senjo awoke to a loud crashing noice. He quickly looked around the room to find Gastro, but he was nowhere in sight. Senjo started to worry; What is something happened to him? Senjo hurried downstairs, which was also comepletely empty. There were unfinished drinks on the tables, glass and paper on the floors, and the smell of smoke in the air.

Senjo made his way to the door and traveled right through it. When he got outside, he noticed it was nighttime. The moon and the stars were hidden within the grey clouds. Senjo looked to his left. A whole crowd of Pokemon were gathered. Ahead of them, smoke and rubble from the buidling. Gastro was in the back of the crowd, trying to figure out what happened. Senjo ran to him, "Hey Gastro, there you are. What the heck happened here?"

"That's what I want to know." Gastro replied. "Some of the Pokemon say they saw a white Pokemon leap in the air, away from the scene." And then, they heard someone yell. The two looked up, along with the crowd, and saw an Absol, standing on top of a tall building.

"Pokemon of Violet city! I am Takai, an Absol from Hoenn. That Aerodactyl has come to destroy your great city. And he's not alone. He did it under the orders of those pokemon over there!" The Absol turned the crowds's attention to a group of Pokemon near the river. "They are terrorists that want to destroy everything. Now, defend you home! Defeat them!" the Absol continued, and then quickly ran away.

The whole crowd was in an uproar, and they charged violently to the group of Pokemon. Some of the Pokemon in this mob fell and were horribly crushed to death. Senjo and Gastro looked at eachother. "Do you believe that Absol?" Gastro said.

"I don't know what to believe in this city," replied Senjo. "I guess we'll just have to go inspect ourselves." Senjo motioned Gastro to follow him. They took the same path as the mob, hoping to find out who this group was and what they want.

Forma

----
After Raine's little suggestion, he plopped right to the ground, asleep. Forma was tired of his attitude, and he could tell that the others were as well. Raine was always negative, but smart. His ideas have helped the group in many situations. Forma started to reminisce the many adventures of the group.

However, this flashback of his did not last long. Moments soon after, Forma could hear yelling and rambling in the background. He looked behind him to see some sort of mob, and it looked like that they were heading in this direction. Forma signaled Tyre, "I think we have company."

Storm & Vladmir

Vladmir ignored the mob now trudging towards a raft at the shore and continued following the Absol. Takai was fast, but Vladmir was faster. Utilizing the air currents flowing under his wings, he corkscrewed toward the Absol, funneling the wing into taking the form of a Tornado around him, and he was the Focal Point.

Vladmir tucked his wings as he spun faster and faster, until he seemed to be traveling as fast as a rocket. Using his sleek body to cut through the air, he sped up even more as he bore down against the Absol, nearly at his hindquarters.

"Giga Impact!" Vladmir yelled as he bolted forward with even greater speed, nearly matching the speed of light.

Vladmir had two thoughts in his mind. The first was, That Absol will not survive this. The other was, Oh crap....this is gonna hurt me.

Meanwhile....

Storm was looking around at the riot that had started. Chaos had erupted among the villagers, and he could not take it. Strangely, the villagers were not attacking him, Jet or Maxis. He decided to follow them, and he came upon a raft with familiar looking faces.

He saw a particularly mad looking Seviper spring an attack towards a Rhyhorn that had come from the raft. Storm bared his claws and jumped in front of the Rhyhorn, then tackled into the Seviper.

"Tyre, Run!" he yelled.

=Jet=

------------
Jet looked around, comprehending the days recent events. Storm had evolved, and a Groyvle had joined their group. Happy to see Maxis, Jet finished off his drink, holding his head fighting off a brain freeze. Once he regained his train of thought Jet said, "I don't think he should stop at the gym. From what I've seen this isn't a very friendly area and it is important he get to the ruins. We can train on the way."

Jet wasn't sure if the others would agree with him, after shooting down his last idea and hoped they'd all see his reasoning. Jet followed Maxis out the door, leaving the others behind. It was now night, however the city was fully lit making it easier to see. Jet caught up to Maxis, not wanting to get caught alone on the street and tried to start a conversation to pass the time, "So, how did your trip go?"[/QUOTE=lbu8;1003382]

MaxisSiesis

"It went well. I was able to maditate a little. When I lived in the mountains I love rafting it helped me learn some important lessons for combat. How did your little flight go?"

"The only reason I suggested the gym is cause I figured we could use a little help since the gym leaders hate Zigaram, so i'm sure that they could provide help."
Just then Siesis and Maxis noticed that there was a riot in the city. "Maxis see if all of your friends are alright! Jet come with me we'll go help Vladmir!"
Maxis used the aura to see everyone it was difficult for him since there was so much noise and movment, but he was able to do it. He saw that Storm was helping Tyre, and that Vladmir was was attacking an Absol. Maxis snapped to attention and went toward Vladmirs direction.
"Siesis, Jet we have company it's the pokemon that attacked us at our camp."
Siesis jumped high and saw a Mightyana charge at Jet.

"Sorry not gonna happen. Energy Ball!" Siesis fired the ball and it hit the enemy straight on sending it flying. Maxis blasted a few enemy pokemon away with some Aura Spheres. They both hoped that everyone was okay, then they went to Vladmir fight.

-Tyre-

-----
Amidst all of the chaos, Tyre saw Storm block him from a Seviper's attack. Because of the ongoing battle, it took him a moment to notice that Storm had evolved, and he couldn't help but let a suppressed grin escape. "Tyre, Run!" Storm yelled.

"Thanks, Storm, but I can hold me own!" he cried back. This is what a Rhyhorn is made for, he thought. He looked across the crowd and found a line of Pokemon which were delinquent citizens of Violet, and he lowered his head and charged.

Rhyhorns were famous for their charges. Incredibly destructive, a Rhyhoen would lose all traces of sanity, and simply charge through, striking any foe incredibly hard. Tyre has only used the dangerous technique twice in his life before, and, though risky to use, Tyre found the adrenaline it gave him to be exciting.

A moment later, about five Pokemon were thrown away from Tyre running almost as fast as a bullet, maimed with newly broken bones. The Rhyhorn kept running for a while, but he eventually stopped, having realized that the battle was behind him.

He ran back to the battle and called out orders for his allies. "Everyone, this battle isn't completely necessary! It's the Absol we want! He's gone back to his hiding place, so stop fighting! We need the trust of the citizens here if we are to stock up! Retreat to Sprout Tower on the edge of town!"
