[RP_QUEST]

After the Host (or rather the attendant in the mysterious Island owners place) delivered the speech, a dank silence could be felt about the room. It was something brief however as this silence burned into a flaming uproar from a multitude of island attendees. This was mostly from various members of the staff that were angered by the idea of having to travel as well just to gain access to their duties. Otherwise the after effects of the speech was that of a typical assembly. It was quiet and then loud with people streaming about their day or moaning about the hardship they'd have to face. Different pokemon cries could be heard as well though much like many of the trainers flooding the room, it was random based and nothing unionized. Though because of the mass, all the voices blended together into some unitone hum.

Of course while it was sweaty and very slightly crowded in the auditorium, it was calm and cool outside. the sun was drowning in the horizon, giving off pretty breeds of warm colors and allowing night's winds to blow the salty ocean's air into a refreshing yet drowzy cycle. Night time was approaching ubruptly and various trainers began to exit outside the Stadium to either get a good night's sleep or to get a slight lead in this journey.

Church released his arms from Lex as the lady began the speech she spoke. His mind became blank for a moment as he took in all the information allowing his fake enjoyment become a less complicated emotion.

"Castaways eh?" spoke the red haired boy as he brushed his hair from his eyes. His less expressive look turned into a brief subtle smile as he looked back to Allan, Ben, and Mick, "So that's how it is. The system seems so simple....this whole 'traveling to the next village' must be a weeding out process so that trainers can't prey on the weak." This Host....whoever it is, knew the psychology behind trainers. It wasn't enough to just invite well known trainers and masters, he also made a way for others to get in, because a true trainer doesn't let a challenge slip from beneath his/her grasp. "Well I'm sure the few of us are real battle participants though, right?" Church said smiling wide toward the other three guys.

Kame scatched her hat curiously as she tried to ponder her trainer's sudden change in attitude. But she knew Church well and it wasn't long before she began to realize what was actually going on. Church eyed the wartortle as he looked to see what was in his packet. But it was not there. he was sure that the lady had slipped one in his hand during his act but the trainer had been occupied in his jolly to realize that Sarah took it. Now Church knew she had taken it, he was too keen to allow for something such as this to be unnoticed. But at the same time he didn't realize that it actually happened.

It was like as if he didn't know it had happened but once he realized it did happened, he knew exactly what had occured; his mind was a polished labyrinth. To this he gave off a muttered sigh, "she took it right Kame?"in which his pokemon replied with a yes. "freakin, troublesome girl!" the boy spoke at a hushed volume "now I have to waste time and effort getting another......" Wartortle looked at him and gave off a low sigh "really.......well it's not like you don't deserve it dummy."

Church looked back to Lex to speak to him once more "Hey Lex-baby, it seems like those ladies forgot to give me a document thingy. I'm going off to get one and then maybe get a hotel room for the night. I hope to meet up with you again......on better terms of course ^_^." and with that, Church returned his quilava and watrortle and headed off to get a document

[Elly]

You don't know about stones?

the words came out systematically as soon as the speech was finished. Even if Kaden hadn't been the one to get the invitation, Elisa was still amazed that his knowledge of pokemon was so limited. But in the end she cast the idea aside feeling the need to step up to an undeclared challenge.

Oh well, never mind. I guess we'll just have to tour together. Even if you were the strongest of trainers, you can't hope to succeed without the proper knowledge. It'll make the travels a bit easier.

She looked at him with interested indulging eyes. He was a nice boy and seemed to retain a sense of innocense to him that most trainers at that age had by then swapped with arrogance.

Of course Elisa also felt that Kaden was a bit reclusive but Elisa was starting to understand why. I hope I'm not imposing on you. I'm not trying to hit on you or anything if that's what you think. For a moment her face reddened and her cheeks blushed. It wasn't really a clarified affection but rather she felt embarrassed by her own bluntness to fact and even more to the possibility that he might actually like her in that sort of way. On the road, love seems to dwindle into a state of nothingness. But it was still fact that he was dating, it wasn't right for such affections to exist.

[sneschurch]

Church fished through his newly acquired packet in order to grab the hotel pass that he would use for a good night's rest. It had been a long ship ride and the boy could feel the weariness of the night creeping in his body. It was beginning to become dark with a nightime that was suspiciously restless and null. A distance away trainers were still scampering about at the colloseum. But here on the cliffs close by the ocean, the Myrtle inn cast a light like that of a lighthouse guiding the lost.

then something caught the gut of Church causing him to gasp. It was like premeditated pain that was imforming him that suspicious activity lurked close by. He looked over to the left but could only see a simple lad of the age of 16 scampering about. He looked about normal but Church having been among the Rockets had become keen to subtle obscurity. In a whim, the young metrosexual boy decided to follow the clad behind. He followed him until they reached about the cliff of where Myrtle hotel sat. In the midst of the light a familiar 'R' shown bright on Church's prey causing the Red haired boy to make his move.

"Hi pretty, you're just the angel I wanted to meet" Church spoke in a creepily flirting voice. To his words the rocket grunt turned around and glanced at him for a moment. Church didn't give him a moment to think before commensing, "Greetings I'm Church Shinboku, Rocket Grunt. I got split from the others but I'm here to meet back up and report." The older grunt looked at Church suspiciously for a moment before replying "Church...eh, your that one kid that was suppose to be nuts. I thought we got rid of you for that very reason. There might be trouble if your loose like this" As he said this he pulled out a walkie talkie to get in contact with other Rocket members

Church tensed his brows in a very depising way while forcing a grin to arise, "Crazy? So Is that what they're calling me now.......even though it was you people who.......ha, oh it's so pointless" Church gripped his soul tightly as if an entire plan had crumpled due to some new revelation. "Try to get rid of me!......You ditched me on that night....after everything else!" Like a wild man, Church burst out to charge the grunt. In response the grunt sent out a Scizor to stop his progress.

Seconds became like minutes as Church realized that if this grunt revealed that he was here that any chance to sneak among the Rocket ranks would end. He held Rashi's ball and rather than sending it out to fight the Scizor decifully continued his own charge into the scizors pinser, releasing quilava just beyond the pokemon to use a quick paced flame wheel to destroy the walkie talkie. However this idea didn't come without it's own backlash as Church began to feel numb and a sting of blood sprout from his lip. In response to the quilava, the grunt sent out a Machamp to grab and toss the pokemon off the cliff. Church attempted to send out Kame or maybe return his quilava but was crippled by the pinser more so than he had calculated.

"You really are insane, kid" The grunt replied looking at the trainer who now was trying to fight this odd paralysis. "Here why don't you join your dear quilava....homosexual freak" and with that Church was thrown over the cliff with the power of a steel pinser. Church couldn't move, he couldn't reply and he couldn't see what happened to his pokemon.

"I couldn't save us from Team Rocket, I couldn't save you from yourself, and even now I can't save you from death. It was all pointless" Church fell careening from the cliff with his pokemon farther down from himself. There wasn't a shooting star in the sky. Not a dream to be had. The sky was just a tad shy from complete darkness and even that became farther away by the second. Church couldn't move no matter how much he tried, and he his fate was becoming ever clearer the farther down he fell.

"So pointless" he whispered in a flimsy girlish voice. And then fading.

[Guy1060]

Kaden blinked a moment, trying to take in everything Elisa had said.
"What? No, no! Sorry. I didn't mean to imply that you're... I mean, I just..." he sighed and took a breathe

"I'm awful around girls. I get all tense and have a hard time speaking to them like I do with males. I get uncomfortable, I suppose. Afraid, a fear that my hear will be on my sleeve and at this mixed-up age of hormones acting like a sea-saw, that I would so something that would hurt not only me, but Korin and any female around me."

He moved forward to hug her, in a comforting but not romantic embrace, as though all of his gratitude of her acceptance and attempt to soothe him was flowing from his body to hers. He stayed quiet a moment.

"I am well aware I am quite dumb when it comes to Pokemon, it's ironic really. I spent most my life worshipping the Hero-Trainers... Yet I never took the time to learn anything about the world of Pokemon. Like a boy who biked in his spare time, and entered a BMX tournament. Unprepared, but with big dreams."

His charm meter was filling up 300% by the second, and his words came off like velvet to the ears of the listener.

Or so he wanted to do. What actually had happened was as follows.
"I'm... Bad around girls... I mean, like, I just kinda freeze up and I graduallymake myself look stupid..."

As his voice faded, his confidence did as well. He stopped a moment staring at his feet, ranting sarcastically in his mind about how smooth he was. He cleared his throat quickly and looked Elisa dead in the eyes again, forcing the confidence back into himself.

"Yes. Thank you for the offer. I think I will take you up on it and travel with you, the knowledge would be beneficial. But, do not worry, I did not mean that you were flirting with me, I am quite faithful to my girlfriend so I will not make any advances on you."

Kaden suddenly spun around. It was to hide the fact that he was pumping his arm a bit while looking directly up at the sky, celebrating what was a victory in his mind. Speaking so directly and with such confidence was a first to him, and he felt he pulled it off well.

[Elly]

Kaden was a kind individual but he made Elisa very uncomfortable. Kaden was a shy kid as Elisa was a more outspoken casual girl. If one thing was to happen, the awkwaardness had to go. As Kaden approached Elisa with a hug, she replied with her own barabric slap to his back preventing the collison of chests.

Well that's greta then. I'm sure if we stick together, nothing will stop us!

She spoke with a breathe of optimism as her Riachu nodded it's head and threw it's fist in the air. Elisa wanted the hit to be more of a simple nudge but the moment caught her and she threw a bit more force than she had intended.

So what do you say we head off right away and get ahead of the others!

[Dante Van Hohenheim]

[Moments before the attendant gave her speech.]

“Minerva can we please stop with making names for the kit that is still not here yet,” Fury slightly annoyed with Minerva’s constant attempt to get him to think of baby names, “I promise that later tonight I will help think of some, just not right now.”

Minerva happy with the fact that she was able to coax her mate into deciding names for their future kit let it drop for the time being. “Thank you darling, you have no idea how much this means to me right now. Now what where you saying about Dante again dear?” Minerva finished with a puzzled look.

“It seems that Dante has wondered off some place, I sure hope that nothing strange happens to him.” Sigh from Fury, “What am I saying, strange things always seems to follow him around, just like that whole Galactic incident.”

“Then if that’s the case then we have to find him again and keep him in check.”

And just to their luck Dante did get into a slight predicament with a Riachu, which caused his anti-gravity devise to malfunction and send him into the air like an object being controlled by psychic pokemon.

“Great, now we have to go fix this up before something worse happens.”

“So, what do you plan to do to help our dear friend this time?”

“Well first we are going to need a little bit of cloud cover to clock Dante so we can bring him back down without anyone actually seeing Dante come back down and remove his devise.”

“And how, my dear, do you plan on making a cloud cover this low to the surface? Oh, and if I do recall you are a dark type not a water or ice … ah I get what you are getting to now, but there is still one little problem, even with the ‘cloud’ people could still see through it.”

“Not if I add some dark pulse into the attack you create, thus giving you control of the dark matter fused within your attack.”

“Sounds good to me, so when do we start?” Minerva asked with a joyful tone to her voice egger to start.


[Just before Dante vanishes]

Dante is trying everything he could do to deactivate his device without revealing it any eyes that are looking at him. Then to his own amusement he noticed a small dark cloud come towards him from the direction that Fury and Minerva were at.

Hoping to use the dark cloud to readjust himself, he was surprised to find that Fury had used Faint Attack to get up to him and grab hold of him just to use Faint Attack again to get back to the ground. Just as they reached the ground Fury tore off Dante’s cloak, which had the said device built within it, and handed it to Dante. “Thanks Fury and Minerva for getting me down, and I hope that it doesn’t happen again.”

Dante then caught sight of the attendant that was delivering the speech in place of the main man behind the Battle Island. “Looks like we are going to have to spend the night here at the hotel, so in the mean time why don’t we head on out and get our room.”

“Sounds good to me, what do you think Minerva?”

“I really don’t mind waiting an extra day in this city, it is fairly pretty here, and besides we still need to think of names tonight.”

After having settled their plan for the night they left the stadium and went to the hotel. Once Dante got his room key he asked the counter lady to hand two letters to Lex Powers and Mick Proster asking them to meet him in the front loby the next morning to share some coffee and to discus some things, consering a serent group of people, in private.

[Guy1060]

Kaden jumped at the sudden impact on his back, taken completely off guard. He looked to Elisa again, and smiled at her words a bit. He picked up his napsack/duffle crossbreed and slung it over his shoulders enthusiastically fastening it tight. He was ready for an adventure, and looked to Smore who seemed just as excited as him.

"Alright!" He said cheerily "I'm ready whenever you are. No challenge will be able to stop me!"

He couldn't help but daydream all in one instant about fighting terrible villains with Smore by his side, defeating them with an explosion in the background, a freeze frame and him standing in a super-cool pose with a pokeball and intense face. He grinned a tad like an idiot at this idea, then marvelled at his fictional fortune he gained from heroic deeds from then on.
