((That's fine. I actually kinda thought that was what you were going to do in the first place. XD You can even have Jessie/James/Meowth if you really want.))

((Sweet. I might bring them in as a break from all the drama. In fact, I'll do that now.))
Jesse and James couldn't believe their incredible misfortune. The admin ordered a simple resupply mission and they volunteered on the one boat that gets hijacked by pirates! At least their comrades made the pirates fight for every inch if that was any consolation. They were just on cooking duty for the ship when the attack happened. They hid while the others either drowned or fought. That was their way after all.
But enough about that. They had an angry blood thirsty beast glaring at them with no mind to get anybody eaten.
Oh, and the Sharpedo wasn't much more pleasant than she is.
Giovanni once again wondered the fate of that inseparable trio of lackeys and then looked to the entrance. The air was getting cold again. The Sun had finally started to recede behind another bank of clouds and the water in the river was lowered considerably. The weather pattern was shifting again.
Giovanni walked outside and up to the bridge. Putting the back of his hand to the metal he felt it was still hot but not to the point where it would cause burns. He carefully crossed using the sleeves of his trench coat to grasp the railing.
When he got to the doors of the Weather Institute he noticed the keycard scanner was long dead and the door was closed. A small setback but when an opportunity like this knocks on your door... You open it. Giovanni gripped the door by it's handle and give it a big tug. The door swung open rather easily but made a lot of noise in doing so. Not that anybody was around to hear it.

An Eevee wriggled uncomfortably under the bow of a dying tree, its mouth was dry and it'd been in the drought area for a while. It knew the way back to the flood side, but didn't want to go back just yet.
Tris sighed at the hiss; Pokemon weren't going to be friendly with him, and he had to accept that. Even his own disobeyed him once in a while.
The small female Eevee dashed in front of Tris and the others, but set her sights on Bria.

Kaga nuzzled Desmond back, giving a small noise of happiness to have a new friend. However, she was suddenly alert when another eevee appeared before them.
Serena noted how unhappy Desmond was around the young boy. She couldn't blame him. The lad had just eaten a part of Desmond's old trainer. She pulled an empty pokeball from her belt and was about to put Desmond in it when the eevee appeared. She blinked a few times and saw that it was interested in Bria. "You know this little eevee?" she asked Bria.

Desmond frowned a little bit, staring at the Eevee with a cautious look on his face. Wild pokemon were vicious anymore these days. Ever since the weather began to destroy their surroundings all of the pokemon in the wild would fight to the death. They were cruel, vicious, and thirsty for blood. Desmond growled at the Eevee, warning the pokemon away from his new master. He wasn't going to let her get killed too.
-----------------------------
Toby's entire body froze. He heard the door creak open. It wasn't the wanderer, he was already inside. There was someone else in the weather tower with them! Toby's eyes went wide as he crept down the stairs, trying to stick to the shadows, keeping Freya close to his side. He kept his footsteps as light as possible, sliding along the wall like a phantom.
That was when he saw the man. He was dressed in a long trench coat and was a large hulking man. There was a foreboding look about him, and though he looked rather old, at the same time Toby knew he was dangerous. There was a menacing look about him, cruel and dark. It made Toby shudder to look at him.
Stay to the shadows, Freya. he commanded his pokemon silently, Maybe he'll just go away. Maybe he won't notice that we're here. he closed his eyes, willing the man to leave with his mind. Please go away please go away please go away please go away please go away.
-----------------------
"So, what'd you find in here?" One of the Aqua grunts frowned. He'd thought they had cleared everyone out but it appeared now there were even more grunts tucked away in the innards of the sinking ship.
"Couple of stray grunts it looks like." a second grunt snorted, looking the lot of them over. Sorry bunch they were, in old ratty uniforms. They looked like they only had a couple pokemon between the two of them. One of them didn't even have a pokeball. A sorry looking Meowth.
"Take 'em aboard, they're not going to fight." the first Grunt said, motioning to his Sharpedo, "are you?" The pokemon gave a sinister snarl, glaring at the two rocket grunts.

The Eevee shied away from the Shroomish, not wanting to get hurt.

Serena held her breath when Desmond growled at the stray eevee, but when the eevee shied away, she exhaled and relaxed.
((What level is Desmond at? >.> And would it make since if Kaga and Idun were at higher levels (30-40. I can do lower if need be) since Serena has had Kaga since she was 8-10 and Idun was trained by her brother and giving to her when Idun was in the -teen levels when she was given Idun?))

The small Eevee looked more sad than anything. No one wanted to take her in, or shield her from the elements. She curled up and waited for the eventual release of death.

((All right :3))
Serena frowned, seeing the little thing look so sad and frightened. She walked slowly over to her and crouched down a few feet away from her and pulled something out of her bag - food. She laid it on the ground and smiled at the eevee. "Poor thing. She must be hungry."
Kaga's nose twitched at the smell of food and she walked over to her trainer and nudged her. She was still full, but she was sure that Desmond probably was hungry.
"Hm, you're right. I should lead them all back to our little shack for the night..." she turned towards Bria and Tris. "If you can promise not to be ravenous monsters and gorge yourselves, I'll bring you to a shelter that's not too far from here. I just came there myself, and there is still some food left that I didn't bring with me."

Giovanni looked at the light switch on the side wall and flipped it. The research facility didn't flicker to life like he thought it would. "Power must be out for the lights. This place was probably left in lockdown with only the critical systems running. I might not have much time."
Giovanni pulled out a flashlight and let his pokemon out. If he had to go into a hostile and possibly pokemon infested area then he would take no chances.
"Persian! Use Flash and light up the area."
As Persian emitted a soft glow from it's body the room came into view. The desks and chairs were strewn about and encrusted with mud and rust. Dusty books sat on shelves and computers lay on their desks without a sound. File cabinets dotted the room.
"Where is the server room?" Giovanni thought. "Probably a basement floor or maintenance area.
Giovanni looked around the area until he saw the door labeled "maintenance". He tried to push on it's handle only to discover that it was locked.
"Lairon! Nidorino! Take Down! Get the door open!"
The door bulged and cracked at the frame from the two pokemons continuous assault over the next minute. Lairon struck it once more and finally the door caved in and ripped the hinges straight off.
"Good! Now come with me."
Giovanni noticed Persian was staring at one spot in particular. Persian hissed and growled at it ever since Nidorino and Lairon began smashing the door in.
"Persian! Come! You can hunt Rattata and what not later."
Persian responded to Giovanni reluctantly. It backed up, glaring at the spot the strange smell emanated from and then quickly turned to follow Giovanni into the maintenance area.
Jesse, James, and Meowth looked up at the grunt who addressed them. At the same they looked right into the the eyes of the Sharpedo.
Who were they to disagree with rows of gnashing teeth?
"Nope! No disagreement from us!" James said nervously. "We'll be good captives! No need to kill us!"Jesse added with a forced cheer. "We're not even half bad cooks! We were preparing some steamed magik-" was all Meowth was able to say before Jesse and James tackled him to the ground to silence him. Heh, we're sorry about our friend here! We don't make fish in our kitchen!" Jesse explained to the agitated grunt. "Yes, our Meowth has no idea when to shut HIS mee-outh!"
They both grinned embarrassed and full of dread. The thought that their loud mouthed companion could doom them by blabbering about their meal plans to people who valued water pokemon made up the one of many times they both thought of strangling him to unconsciousness.

"I swear, I will never lay my teeth to human flesh ever again unless it's in self defense", Tris earnestly promised. He released Ore and Addis out of their Pokeballs for a moment to scold them, then let them back in.
The Eevee sniffed the food and ravenously ate. The thing hadn't seen food in days and it was her chance to fill up. She walked over to Serena and smiled.

Toby winced a little bit. One of the building's locked doors came crashing in, a strong blow from two pokemon being enough to bash it in. Toby had tried to open the door himself with Freya and Baldur helping him, but even the three of them combined could do nothing to make it budge. This man had just managed to blow the door in with one fell swoop.
Toby just stared. That man... he bit his lip, He's strong. He's way to strong for me. he frowned, But I don't like what he's doing. I don't like the way he's acting. He wants something from this place and I... I don't know if I want him to have it.
He heard a hiss and he froze. There were two golden eyes staring at him from the darkness. A Persian, looking ready to pounce at him, its head low, ready to hunt. Toby motioned to Freya to back up, but somehow he knew he wasn't going to be able to escape the feline himself. All of a sudden the pokemon's master called to it. It went away. Relief flooded Toby. That was close, but he'll be back. He stood up, hands clenching into fists, I have to do something about him now. If he discovers me in here, he'll kill me for sure. Toby just looked on, peering around the door and watching the man work. He could have Baldur teleport them away in a second if he needed to. Then there was that other man. He shivered. What of him? He looked around hesitantly He has to be around here somewhere. he closed his eyes willing the man to run. To hide out somewhere in the shadows. Hopefully he would be alright.
--------------
The first grunt raised an eyebrow at the two Rocket grunts and their sorry display. They were almost helpless enough to take pity on. He sighed.
"Just put your hands over your heads and be quiet. You can hand over your pokeballs now. You're not going to need them where you're going." he said as his Sharpedo snarled at the two Rockets.
The second grunt frowned a bit, prodding the talking Meowth curiously, "You've got quite a pokemon there. Talks and stands on its hind legs. What other tricks does it do? Lock picking?" he stared daggers at the talking pokemon, a suspicious look on his face.
"We're going to have to ask you to put all of your pokemon into pokeballs and hand them over. The meowth is no exception, talking or not."

Serena nodded. "Good, then follow me." She pulled out Kaga's pokeball and brought her back, and then threw one to catch Desmond in. Naturally, he was caught, and she pocketed the two pokeballs. She looked down at the eevee and smiled. "I'll bring you with us, of course," she said, picking her up carefully. She then looked at Tris and Bria and motioned for them to follow her.
By the time they reached the sanctuary, night was falling. The place had a secret trap door that was covered up with grass and moss. Serena opened up the latch and led them all inside into a large room, and when she flipped on the lights, beds and food awaited them.

Tris was thankful for the food and got his fill. Now that he was no longer hungry, he laid down and blinked. The guilt was already taking him. The small Eevee sensed this, and went over to Tris. She nuzzled him and he petted her. "Don't worry, we'll be safe here", he said. "Thanks for taking us here, I didn't know what I'd do if I had to wander any more".

Serena nodded, sitting up against a wall, her three pokemon sound asleep on her lap after they filled their bellies full of food. "It's no problem. Trainers need to stick together and help each other, or we end up dead."

Giovanni walked down the stairs into the basement level of the building. The server room has to be down here. Persian slipped past Giovanni and scouted the area ahead while Lairon and Nidorino stayed behind him.
A short time later he came across a clear glass door with an array of servers and computers behind it. The light from the servers meant that they were still on and running the server and equipment with emergency power from the facility generator. He sat down at a nearby computer that was on the login screen. Looking down at the server beside it he located a slot for his flashdrive and inserted the tiny device.
After a short pause the computer flashed an error message.
Unknown flashdrive in SystemDriveE has caused an unknown error. Please re-initialize system in order to recover system operations and data.
Re-initialize System? Y/N
Giovanni typed 'Y' and the screen went blank for a moment.
Then the screen went a blur with a large amount of text raining down on it. Most of it was technical things that he couldn't understand but he was confident that Ariana's tech was not about to fail him.

Giovanni typed in the code and pressed enter.
Hardline System Conection Secured Beginning file transfer...
Meowth dug his way out from underneath Jessie and James. "Now wait a minute bub! I maybe a Pokemon but walk and talk like a human! I expect some basic dignity here!" He said as he prepared to put on the saddest little kitten face he could muster "Besides, these two losers are my friends! We've stuck together through thick and thin! Everytime we got thrown into the air! Everytime some maniacal half baked invention blew up in our faces!" he got on one knee with his head down "Every time we failed, we failed together! Don't take me away from them!"
These guys better be appreciating the risk I'm taking! I'm always da brains of dis operation! Still they take care of me better than nobody at all... Meowth thought.
Oh please! His acting and his performance with us is so bad that it gives me a headache. Still, it's better than nothing... Jesse thought.
What is that little furball talking about? Whenever we all failed he was usually the first to blame us! Even still he stuck by us when nobody else would... James thought
"Please allow us to stay together!" They all chimed in at once.

Tris let his Mudkip and his Sentret out of his Pokeball to play with the Eevee. "They're so cute...once you look past the fact they ate a person". Ore looked up briefly from playing, then settled back down.
The Eevee started to glow from the happiness, literally. It was nighttime already, so the form started to grow long ears, and a tail that matched them.

Serena watched carefully, see the eevee slowly begin to evolve. She wondered when her own would evolve as she gently patted Idunn on the head.

The Eevee, now an Umbreon, completed its evolution. Tris looked in amazement as the Umbreon approached him, and licked his hand.
"You're so cute, I'mma call you Brienne".

Post by Little Death on Jul 10, 2011 18:15:56 GMT -8
Serena smiled, seeing the newly evolved Umbreon lick Tris's hand. "I must admit I'm jealous. Idunn hasn't evolved yet for me and I have no stones. If I had any, I'd evolve Kaga."

Post by Brianna Ravenquist on Jul 10, 2011 18:24:23 GMT -8
Tris looked into his pack, "I've got several evolution stones that I was collecting before this whole thing happened. I was going to trade them for food, but there's no demand for them. Hence why I'm starving. However, I don't think I want to sell them, I want to give them away to people. They deserve it".

Toby watched from the shadows as Freya peered through the doorway, watching the strange man's every move. He'd begun to type at a strange looking computer terminal behind the locked door. Words were streaming down the face of a computer screen, lighting up the otherwise darkened room with an eerie green light. Toby frowned. He didn't know what the man was trying to do, but he knew he didn't trust him. Not for a second.
Freya. Do you think you can stop whatever that man is trying to do? Maybe you can shut the system down.
The Raltz nodded, eyes beginning to glow blue. For a good few seconds nothing happened, but after seconds had passed the light abruptly snapped off, the entire terminal going dead. Toby nodded, ushering Freya back. Good job Freya. Now, Baldur, get us out of here.
He released the Abra from its pokeball, and almost immediately the three were whisked off the next floor up of the weather tower. He crouched back underneath one of the desks, curling his knees up against his chest, trying to make himself as inconspicuous as possible.
------------------------
The Aqua grunt raised an eyebrow as the talking pokemon literally stood up and began making a plea to stay with it's trainer. Trainers? While the pokemon was speaking (strange as that was to think) the second Grunt had stooped down and began to examine the Meowth, prodding its claws, teeth, eyes, tail. At length he stood up and turned to his comrade.
"Well, one thing's certain. That Meowth is about the most sorry excuse for a pokemon I've ever seen." he chuckled, "Nails are dull, teeth are blunt, no strength in its front paws OR in its tail. I'd be surprised if this thing could even use a pay day attack."
The first grunt shrugged, "We're going to need your pokemon." he said, motioning for the team's pokeballs. He didn't quite look amused, just annoyed, "You can keep your pet."
As the last of the Grunts were ushered on board a smile crossed Shelly's face. She was almost feeling giddy, tapping her nails against the side of her Pokeball. She grinned. It had been a while since she'd been in a battle. Not since Archie disappeared. It was a strange sentiment, but she was almost excited to be getting into a battle again. Pokemon centers or no.
"Alright Matt, set a course for Lilycove city, head northwest." she spoke into her handheld radio, "We've got a little visit to make."

She smiled. "That's awful nice of you," she said, looking at her vulpix and scratching her head. She sighed, relaxing further against the wall, slowly starting to feel tired.

Tris chose a Firestone, Thunderstone, and Waterstone, and handed them over to Serena. "I believe the only evolutions you can get out of an Eevee with stones are Jolteon, Vaporeon, and Flareon. I believe Espeon must evolve with happiness in sunlight, Umbreon with happiness in moonlight, and I'm not sure about the other two".

Post by Little Death on Jul 11, 2011 9:15:19 GMT -8
Serena smiled, taking the three stones and placed them in her bag. "For the ice and grass type evolutions, you have to be in a specific place...I can't remember where at the top of my head, but no matter. Tell me, is there anything you're in need of? I might have something in here," she said pointing to her bag.

The screened flickered off as Persian once again hissed at a corner of the room. Giovanni was sure that somebody was messing with him. The generator hadn't malfunctioned because the lights to the servers were still on. This terminal was dead so the only other option was the lead researcher's desk on the second floor.
Persian definitely smelled something. Giovanni is not alone. "Persian! Go up ahead. If you smell something then don't let it leave."
Jessie and James relinquished their pokeballs and walked down to their cell.
"Well this just sucks! We try to get away from the twerps for a while and all we get is captured by some water loving pirates!" James blurted out as the cell door shut.
"At least we're alive and together. We always have been ever since we joined that biker gang years ago haven't we James?"
"Yes, partners in crime since we were only 19!" James said with a grin but suddenly his mood changed, "Jessie, we need to focus on getting out of here. We can think of the past when we are in less danger."
"While you two was busy lookin' through nostalgia glasses I was on dat!" Meowth exclaimed.
"So what do you have Meowth?" James asked.
"Eh, right now? Nothin!"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN NOTHING YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING CAT?" Jessie shouted with fire in her eyes "I WON'T BE TURNED INTO SHARK BAIT NOW! IT'S UTTERLY INSULTING!"
"OK! WE'LL THINK OF SOMETHING!" Meowth yelled back.
"They might have taken us by surprise but now we know who they are. Lillycove beach, the surrounding area around fortree, and the route to the west will have a little surprise waiting for those eco-freaks Team Aqua! Petrell? Are the Koffings, Wheezings, and Voltorbs burrowed in the ground?" Archer said smiling while looking out on the sea to the east.
Petrell flipped back the hair from his eyes casually "Yes, and they are ready to gas and explode on your orders."
"Good, we'll let the Aquas come to us. If they don't agree to leave peacefully then do it.

"Oh well. We should probably get some sleep though. We're pretty safe in here for the night, so we shouldn't have to worry about anyone coming in and trying to kill us."
