[DarkAmethyst]

Alright, here's a recap of the plot and all for anyone who may have forgotten. The sign ups are still open, for anyone who wishes to join. A discussion thread will be created soon.

Plot

After many failed attempts to create the perfect blend of human and Pokemon DNA, a small, but deadly viral outbreak has risen. In labs all over the Pokemon world, there are humans and Pokemon held hostage, mere victims of the unsuccessful experiments performed by the incompetent scientists scattered about. Abnormalities of all sorts are found in both human and Pokemon; the humans possess supernatural abilities that may or may not relate to a Pokemon, some even have extra body parts (e.g. a tail, ears, claws, etc.) or strong similarities to a Pokemon. The Pokemon themselves possess the ability to speak clear and proper English, as though they were humans themselves, and some have the power of an element that isn't their own. (e.g. A Fire-type with ice or water powers) All said individuals have been quarantined deep in the labs across the Pokemon world, never to see the outside world again. They are the failed experiments, the unsuccessful breeds. The evidence.

Word has spread recently about the experiments performed on the poor adolescents, and police forces have been notified. To keep things hidden and their own hides out of jail, the scientists and owners of the lab(s) have shipped off the abnormal beings to another laboratory overseas, located in a region yet to be known to man; the region of Oyone (oh-yo-neh). Tests are still run every now and again, to check the state of health. What remains unknown for the time being is the fact that the chemical virus created through the experiments has leaked out of the labs and into the towns and cities, the sickness spreading like wildfire.
Innocent townsfolk are soon to fall victim to the fatal chemical disease, unless something is done to stop it. That.. is where you come in.

Your Role
Kept in rooms like jail cells and treated like the disease itself, you are a former Trainer/Pokemon previously exposed to the chemically unstable experiments. Due to the said event, you now possess abilities that you shouldn’t. The scientists from all regional labs have you locked up in Seraphina Town, Oyone, in a massive laboratory. Your Pokemon have been taken from you, except for one, whom you managed to keep hidden. Your goal is to find your Pokemon and any surviving victims and escape in one piece. (For Pokemon, if you don't have a Trainer, just find some survivors and get outta there) Only then can you start to worry about helping the rest of the world. However, you must make haste, for you yourself haven’t much time left.


Roleplay Rules
1) Spam the roleplay thread and I will hurt you.
2) Controlling other peoples’ characters is out of the question, unless you have their consent.
3) Your character is NOT invincible, so don’t make them that way. Supernatural abilities does not mean you’re invincible.
4) Do not post more than once at a time. Wait for another roleplayer to post first before you do again.
5) Be respectful to the other roleplayers. I realize that we’re not all going to agree on everything all the time, but there’s a thing called compromise, you know.
6) Lengendary Pokemon are a no-no.
7) This is a literate roleplay. Please use proper grammar and spelling. I realize that not all characters will speak in a proper manner, but aside from that, it’s not acceptable.
8) Sexual content, language and violence are to be kept at a PG-13 level. Yes, you can be violent, but don’t describe the gore to us, please.
9) All posts (excluding OOC) need to be at LEAST 3-4 sentences long. I know we all have our bad days, but please try to avoid one liners.
10) Please be at least semi-active in this roleplay. If you don’t think you will be able to keep up, don’t sign up. Anyone who is inactive for over a week will be removed.
11) Have fun! :D

Hikaru~

A heavy silence hung about as a sapphire haired boy rose silently from his cot-like bed. The tiled floor below was cold against his bare feet, but he paid it no mind. It seemed as though an eternity has passed since he'd seen the outside world. Hopefully today that would all change. He'd been locked up in this place for a little over two years now. It was high time he got out.

He slowly approached the door on the other side, taking the shiny silver knob tightly in one hand. With a small twist, he pulled it open slowly and poked his head out through the opening. His ears twitched slightly as the sound of distant voices drifted down the seemingly endless hallway. He retreated back inside, a soft sigh temporarily filling the silence. His eyes lowered to look at the clothing he'd been made to wear; a flimsy shirt and pair of pants, all white. Why they hadn't given him shoes, or why they'd made him change clothes in the first place he didn't know. With everything around him solid white, he felt as though he were being held in a rehabilitation center or something.. like he was crazy.

He touched the sticker placed on the left side of his chest, white like the rest of his clothing with the number '17' written in black. It was a wonder he still remembered his own name. Here, all of the 'experiments' were referred to by a number, rather than by their names.

Soft footsteps caught the young boy's attention, and he turned around, watching a lavendar Pokemon pad toward him. A small smile graced his lips, and he knelt down, scratching it behind the ear.

"Today's the day, Espeon," he turned his attention temporarily toward the door behind him, still slightly ajar, "We're finally gonna get out of here." He rose again, turning to face the door fully as his hand rested on the knob. He pulled it toward him, creating a larger gap before stepping out, instinctively surveying both ends of the hall. The darkly colored cat-like ears atop his head drooped slightly, "...But first I need to find my clothes...."

Krystal~

"Alright, Glaceon. Let's try this again."

A lavendar haired girl stuck her head through a slightly ajar door, looking both ways before she slipped out silently, a small, blue Pokemon behind her. "It's around noon, now, so there shouldn't be as many security guards hanging around. We should be able to get at least a little further."

Krystal, if we've gotten caught every past try, what makes you think we'll make it this time around?

Krystal shrugged, brushing off the scowl her Pokemon was giving her. She looked down momentarily toward her clothing and instinctively dusted it off. Not that there was much to dust off in a place like this. A scowl came onto her own face as she picked at the sticker on her chest, the black number '22' standing out boldly against the rest of the white outfit.

Why the heck did they take my clothes...?

She turned and started cautiously down the east side of the hallway, Glaceon padding softly behind her. The lights were somewhat dim this time around, a few of them were even flickering. Krystal paid this no mind as she continued down the endless path.

I wonder if there are any others roaming about? ... Or if there are even many left....

OoC: Sorry for the sudden cut off, I'm already brain dead. xD; Start off any way you want to, but keep in mind, we're all separated to being with, unless you run into someone in the halls. Not everyone has to be in the white clothing I mentioned, but you should still have the number, since the scientists in these labs refer to their experiments by a number, rather than their names.

[Winter_Cherry]

Faust whirled around for the umpteenth time and sighed. Annoyed, she kicked the wall, the metal gave out a low ring, but that was it. Further annoyed, she removed a shoe and hurled it at the wall. She felt like she was going insane, her walls covered in dents and her arms covered in scratches, her eyes flickering warily from one place to another. Faust... said a gentle voice in her mind, the girl whirled towards the huge luxray in the corner of her room "What!?!?!" she shouted, then shook her head. "What Shenzii? I'm sorry." she said, softly this time. Shenzii looked up at her sadly.You need to find a way out, you're going to go crazy. Faust met his eyes and clenched her fists "I have already gone crazy, Shenz." She muttered softly. Silence then penetrated the air between them, leaving Faust even more annoyed.

OOC: Think she yelled loud enough for Krystal or Hikaru to hear her?

[Enkaku_Kumori]

(Whoot!)

Chibi

Footsteps padded sleathily through the vacant corridors of the area. Wherever it was. Chibi crept noiselessly around the various twisting hallways, her Vulpix, Vyala, in tow. The two had lots opf similarities. Even though Chibi was human, she aquired Vulpix ears, six rust-colored tail, canine teeth, and a very sensitive nose. The most chilling fact was that not only had this been a result of fusing her DNA with that a pokemon, but Vyala had bravely offered her own DNA instead of some unknown pokemon's, showing her love for her trainer.

Chibi hated white. Mainly because it was ridiculously bright, and stains showed up better than a sore thumb, she would much rather prefer black, and by black she didn't mean the black "13" that had been stuck to her shirt. Her pokemon part of her allowed her to slip out of her room (which had been unlocked, an exceedingly stupid move) and wander the corridors without being noticed. Suddenly her Vulpix ears twitched, out of the pokemon instinct she had aquired along with the DNA. She had heard something, a human would have just heard a distant mumble, but Chibi's super ears had identified the sound as a rather loud "WHAT?!" that had been shouted by a female. Whether human or human-speaking-pokemon was the question. Chibi had even been able to identify its source: the hall to her left.

"Human," Vyala suddenly whispered, of course she had heard the shout too. vyala had been hidden from the scientist that had experimented on Chibi, and as a result never gained any form of speech besides pokemon. But because Chibi and Vyala had known each other for many yers, they understood each other perfectly.

"How did you know that?" Chibi asked, turning left down another monotonous hallway.

"I've heard the howls and screams of human-speaking pokemon," Vyala replied, faithfully following her friend, "but the only creature I've heard screaming that loud is a human."

Chibi nodded, the bob of her head making her long red hair swish around the base of her spine. Chibi prowled the hall, her head snapping around at the doors. Finally she came in front of a particular door, beyond the wood she could easily hear the scuffles and the irritated murmurs of its occupant. Raising a tentative hand, Chibi tapped gently on the door three times.

(Zyrvia will come when I feel like typing her part.)

[DarkAmethyst]

Hikaru

No sooner had the sapphire haired teen slipped out of his room did a distant, and yet loud yell echo down the halls.

"What?!?!"

The cat-like ears atop his head twitched slightly as he picked up clearly the feminine voice shouting at something or someone. Whether it was a human or Pokemon, he couldn't quite decipher yet. His gaze fell to his Espeon, who had turned to face the direction of the yell and followed her intent gaze down the endless hall of white. Her tail twitched in anxiety; it was obvious she wanted to check it out.

Hikaru sighed softly, venturing over near the wall.

"Think we should check it out?" he spoke in hushed tones to his Pokemon, who looked back up at him with what could best be described as eagerness. He gave a half smile and started up the hall, prompting the small creature to follow, eventually taking the lead as she listened for further sounds.

Hikaru watched the lavendar Psychic-type silently; he was lucky to have been able to hide her before those crazed scientists stole her away with the rest of his Pokemon. He couldn't help but worry over them; he hadn't seen any of them in two years now... were they even alive, still? His fists clenched tightly at the thought. If those imbeciles had hurt his Pokemon....

Hikaru, look. The hushed voice of his Pokemon brought Hikaru back to reality. Up ahead, he could now see a girl. It was obvious she was a victim of experiments as well, for she had Vulpix ears, and six rust-colored tails relating to such. A Vulpix was standing at her feet, most likely her own. He paused, staying frozen in the shadows, watching her tap lightly on the door before her three times. Had she been the one to yell, or was there someone inside?

He swallowed, forcing himself to start walking again. Normally, with everything that had happened to them all, the Trainers and Pokemon here were wary of each other, but, escaping this place would most likely require teamwork of some sort, right?

Espeon fall into step with her Trainer as he warily approached the girl, speaking softly, for fear of being overheard by a guard lurking in the halls.

"What's.. going on?"

Krystal

"What?!?!"

A distant yell sounded out suddenly, and Krystal couldn't help but jump slightly. Glaceon didn't seem bothered or fazed in the least by it, and simply kept walking. Krystal felt herself instinctively begin to look around them for signs of anyone. Having been caught so many times before, she was continuously paranoid as to whether someone was sneaking up behind her again.

She couldn't quite tell where the yell had come from; everything seemed so amplified in these halls; to her it seemed as though everything came from every direction. This was most likely why she had been caught so many times before. She'd always gotten confused as to which way she was hearing footsteps from, and therfore become caught.

Completely useless... she remarked mentally, If anything about me had to change with those stupid experiments, why couldn't it have enhanced my hearing or something?

OoC: I'm really brain dead for Krystal.. xD;

[All Hope Is Gone]

"How do i get out of here!?" yelled Slash in his empty room.Then Slash started to use Tackle on one of the metal walls."Arrrrrgggggggg!"growled Slash."This is useless."Then Slash tried tackle again,this time he puts a dent in the metal wall.Then realizing that it was useless Slash went into a dark corner and sat down and tried to think of a plan."I'll try using slash." thought Slash Then he started to use slash, and to his surprise he cut a huge hole in the metal wall."Finally I'm free!" exclaimed Slash exausted.Slash walked out of the room he was in and walked down a dark hallway until he found a dead end."Dead end," yelled Slash as he slashed the door and to his surprise he found a pokemon.

OOC:i forgot to say Slash can speak human if he want's to.

[Entei_3000]

White. Why did it all have to be white?! Katt was an Umbreon for pete's sake.

Katt tuged and pulled on her muzzle that prevented her from bitin. The muzzle was chained to the wall. Katt growled angrily and tugged again. Now what? Katt looked around, her yellow ringed ears drooping. Katt tugged again. She stopped when she heard a creaking sound.

Perfect.

Katt pulled as hard as she could. She could see the chain slowly wedging itself out as she pulled, shook herself, pulled some more.

Finally, the chain came out of the wall, Katt slammed into the door. She pawed at the muzzle. She'd ned help form a human for that. Katt turned to the door, got up on her hind legs, and tried to, awkwardly, turn the handle.

I'm gonna need a person for this, too... Katt grunted in annoyance.

[riolu42]

Calvin smiled. This place was a prison, but a good one, since he could fly.

He took out a Pokeball, and threw it high.

Out popped a Scyther, whose sword like hands whizzed everywhere.

"Slash," Calvin said, "Use Double Team."

Slash began to create doubles of himself, to nearly fifty. Then, they all started to slash at the cell.

[sealboyno1]

I lay in the bed, looking up at the ceiling. I sighed and I began to fiddle with the collar around my neck. It had the number 677 on it.
"Treated like an animal, a pet..." I sighed and rolled onto my side. I couldn't be bothered to try and escape. People would harrassed me and pick on my for the way I look. If only there was a cure. My eyes widened when I thought of this. A cure! They might have a cure! I jumped out of the bed and examined the door. Unlike most subjects, I didn't need to wear clothes. I had fur, fur that kept me warm. I can't remember anything that has happened when I awoke this morning, only my name and age. I poked the metal door.
"Now let's see..." My paw lit up and sparks flew off of it. "Wasn't this Spark?" I could remember only a few pokemon moves. Every time I saw one I'd know it's name... I never know why though... I began to lightly punch the door, careful not to make a sound. Nothing happened and I sighed. I heard a familiar noise behind me.
"Why not use your eyes? Luxrays can use their eyesight to see through walls." I nodded towards my Buizel and tried to focus on the door. My eyes glowed a bright yellow and I began to search for a weakness in the door.
"Got it!" I confirmed to Buizel. The weakness was right and the side of the door, a few Centimetres above the handle. I used Spark again and punched the area lightly. I saw a dent and the door clanged. I fit my paw through and, to my surprise, opened when I pulled it.
"There is never a door without a flaw." Said Buizel as he walked up by my side.
"Let's go!" I said as we both ran out into a hallway.

[black fury]

"i...want...to...get...out...of...here!" chopper yelled while he slashed at the giant iron fence with his blade and scythe."stupid cell, stupid smell, stupid food and irritating tests!...i guess the fence won't break by jelling at it...eh?" the last word was in thought, because he heard something, like one of the iron bars of an cell was cut off."guess that will be my ticket out...only hope he, or she, is heading this way...". chopper landed and patiently waited for footsteps or anything else to pass by."well, i think i better can try to get off this ugly collar...its blue..." chopper tried to use night slash on it, without hurting himself, to get off the collar around his neck.

[DarkAmethyst]

Krystal

Silence had fallen again, but it didn't last for too long before thuds and yells began filling the halls again. Krystal shuddered slightly as thoughts of what could be happening inside the different rooms crossed her mind. There was no telling what the scientists in these labs could be up to now.

Glaceon's ears twitched, and she slowed down somewhat, looking over toward one of the many white doors lining the hall.

"What is it?" Krystal stopped beside her Pokemon, whispering her words softly.

It sounds as though there's someone in there.. possibly trying to get out, The Ice-type responded, nodding toward one of the doors. I'm not entirely sure that there aren't two of them, really.

Krystal looked at the door her Pokemon had gestured toward, staring at it silently. She felt herself stiffen when sudden thuds occurred from just behind that very door, sounding more like someone trying to bust out. A few paces down the hall, it seemed as though someone were trying to turn their doorknob, but failing to do so.

She looked down to Glaceon, who had already started toward the door closest to them. She scratched at it with her paw whilst Krystal proceeded down the hall, approaching the other door.

Is someone in there? Do you need help? The Ice-type called through the door, waiting patiently for a response.

Krystal, only a few paces away, watching the doorknob in front of her, waiting to see if this was the door she'd meant to come to. When she spotted it jiggle somewhat, she instinctively took it in her hand, turning it slowly. Tapping lightly on the door beforehand, she slowly pulled it open, her eyes falling on an Umbreon. She froze, staring at the darkly colored Pokemon for a moment. She looked so familiar... Krystal remembered Hikaru having an Umbreon awhile back, before he had been taken. Could this possibly be her....?

Letting the shock fade from her face, she smiled down at the Dark-type Pokemon. If this was Hikaru's Umbreon, it was highly possible she'd remember her. If not, then it must just be a coincidence..

"Hi there," she spoke softly, kneeling down in front of the smaller creature, "Do you need some help?"

[black fury]

OOC: i know this is short, but i just want to get out ^^

"no don't dare to cut of my left arm!...wow...i fell asleep...?" chopper saw an cat standing next to his door, and moved out of the dark corner toward the gate. "nice to see you! can you help me get out? i tried to get out, but i think they reinforced those bars by me, mostly because they had troubles replacing my arms...bite in the face, cruel poisoning, and dead...anyway, can you please help me get out? i can't do it alone by myself" chopper asked the cat before his cage, and started using night slash with both arms again. "hey, what's your name? mine is chopper! nice to meet you!

[DarkAmethyst]

OoC: So long as you have at least three or four sentences, you're alright. ^ ^

IC: Glaceon stepped back once when the Pokemon inside, a Yanmega, slashed at the cage-like bars separating them. It was obvious he had been experimented on, for his front 'arms' were completely different from the rest of his body, one being the blade of a Scyther, and the other like a Gallade's. He'd introduced himself as Chopper, and asked of her own name.

"I don't really have a nickname; everyone just calls me Glaceon," she responded somewhat softly, stepping back up to the bars. A smile came onto her face at the request for help, "Of course I will; no one in their right mind would want to leave someone trapped in here." She stepped back again, a light blue ball forming in her mouth as ice began to creep along the edges of her mouth. "Watch out."

She fired off an Ice Beam at the bars, encasing them in a thick layer of ice. Afterward, she waited a few moments, gathering up the power required for her next attack. Due to the experiments performed on her, she had gained fire powers in addition to her own. However, she hadn't been able to practice them much, so they were still kind of rusty. With enough concentration and power, though, she should be able to pull it off.

Opening her mouth again, she released a small but powerful stream of fire; a Flamethrower, aiming to melt the ice, and hopefully, the bars as well. If it didn't work out that way, there was still a very high possibility that they could be broken quite easily.

A thin mist of steam arose from the melting ice, and, after a few moments or so, Glaceon ceased her attack, waiting patiently to see if the combination had worked.

[black fury]

"okay, so you don't got an name? then i will name you dual, works for you?" chopper told the glaceon, or dual, when he flew out of his cage, which was broken thanks to the ice beam- flamethrower combination."oh yeah, dual, i saw you already mentioned my arms, i hate it, but they come in handy. they tried to cut off one of my legs and replace it with an kingler's giant claw, but they were to lazy...dual, can i get to wait so they can put it on? i would like it myself... no, this is affecting me...im minding on power...not power, friendship...friend...ship...friend...friend..." chopper repeated and began to tear."why........." chopper's eyes began to have an mean look, and you could see he was mad."why...that stupid guys...my trainer...died...its their fault...THEY WILL PAY!" chopper yelled and flew at the end of the hall, and breaked one of the doors, and cutted an scientist that wanted to go see at the cells in pieces."my trainer! give him back!" chopper yelled at the dead body of the man, but calmed down as he saw the dead body."what...i don't wanted to..." chopper began to tear again, and an tear fell on the sad dead face of the scientist."...im sorry...dual, lets go away, but first, lets free the other ones..."

[DarkAmethyst]

OoC: Try to avoid one-liners. ^ ^;

IC: Glaceon stepped back and looked up at Chopper. She sat down, thinking over the name for a moment or so. Krystal had never given nicknames to any of her Pokemon, aside from Katt, so she wasn't really familiar with them.

"Dual.." she repeated it softly to herself, falling silent for a few moments before looking back up to Chopper, a smile coming onto her face, "Works for me." She rose to her feet again, looking down the hall to Krystal, who was now knelt down in front of an open doorway. There was most likely a Pokemon in front of her, or else someone was lying or sitting on the floor in their room.

She turned to Chopper, speaking again, "So how long have they kept you?"

[black fury]

OOC: i think im going to stop posting for now. we two filled in A LOT. and does an open space counts too?

"erm...i think...about 3 years...they wanted to make an killing tank of me..." chopper responded to dual."so, who is your trainer?" chopper awaited an response, while he walked next to the glaceon, following her to wherever she would go.

"oh yeah, and how long did they kept you here? and are we gonna free the other ones too? and what did they have done to you? what kinda mutations?...calm down chopper...don't ask too much questions, it will make you hyper...breath in, and out...okay, so, are we gonna do something?"

[Entei_3000]

Katt froze and immediately backed away when she heard voices. But she stopped. They weren't scientists voices.

Unless scientist have oddly decided to ask if we need help. Which isn't likely. Katt stepped toward the door again, she looked up at the girl who had open the door. Recognition fillwed her eyes. It was Krystal!

Katt rushed over to Krystal she nosed the girl's arm afectionately. Maybe she knew where Hikaru was!

Katt pawed at the muzzle again. It was beginning to get annoying.

[DarkAmethyst]

Krystal

It was obvious that this was indeed the Umbreon Krystal had been thinking of now, for when she noticed her, she instantly rushed over and nuzzled her arm, but only for a few seconds before she pawed at the muzzle covering her mouth and nose. Krystal hadn't noticed until just now, but now that she could see it, it was understandable that Katt would be annoyed with it.

"I'm so glad I found you," she smiled down at the Pokemon in front of her, "I thought for sure something bad had happened to you." She reached around to the spot where the muzzle was latched together. "Alright, let's see if we can get this off..." She heard Glaceon talking a few paces away and glanced in her direction. She couldn't see anything currently, but it was obvious she'd found someone.

Feeling the muzzle come loose, she turned her attention back to Katt, gently pulling it off. "There we go. Is that better?"

[DamienCreater]

(Oh mind if I add one more character? Damien's little sister?)


Damien sat on his cot staring at the door. This place was depressing, he had only been here for a few weeks and he already had claws... What else of his humanity would he lose if he stayed? "Hey buizel, you awake?"he asked silently.

"I am now,"muttered a smaller voice from beneath the cot. "Is tonight the night?"

"Yeah,"Damien muttered standing up, a small orange weasel climbed out from under the cot. "Focus punch,"Damien mearly said and got in the ready position, both beings were facing the cell door.

The buizel pulled his right hand behind him, a dazzling white light radiated from his fist. Which soon made contact with the door at the same instant Damien delivered a Slash attack.

Boom!

The door flew off its reinforced steel hinges and slammed into the opposite wall. "Lets get out of here now!"Damien said and rushed out of the cell door with buizel one his heels,"we need to find the others... and my sister..."




Aruan stood at his cell door,"Stupid humans don't even know what they did to me..."he growled and press his hand up against the door, it went through,"if they did they would have strengthened security around me..." with that the young riolu continued through the door, unphased, like it wasn't there. "Now to get out of-" he was interrupted, a loud crash filled the hallway. "What was that!?"he asked himself and ran towards the noise.

[Entei_3000]

Katt shook her head in relief.

"Much better, thanks," Katt smiled up at Krystal. "Are you alright? Have you seen Hikaru?"

Katt glared at the muzzle. If anything bad had happened to her trainer, she'd be the one using the muzzle, and it wouldn't be on herself.

[DarkAmethyst]

OoC: Not at all. You can have as many characters as you want, so long as you can manage them all. ^ ^

IC: "Much better, thanks. Are you alright? Have you seen Hikaru?" (Entei_3000 quote)

Krystal's smile faded to a saddened frown.

"No, I haven't seen him yet... Not since before he was taken away." She jumped when a loud crash echoed throughout the halls. It certainly was lively today... It was no wonder the guards hadn't come down to investigate yet. Krystal looked back to Katt. "I'm sure he's here somewhere, though. Hikaru was never the type to give up easily."

[All Hope Is Gone]

When he walked into the room Slash saw that there was another green Scizor."Hello," said Slash as he walked to the pokemon.And the other Scizor walked towards him."It's just a mirror," yelled Slash slashing the mirror.After that Slash started to walk down a hallway.And after about an hour of dead ends Slash got mad."Is anyone here!?"yelled Slash hopelessly.

[Enkaku_Kumori]

Chibi

"What was that?!" Chibi hissed suddenly, swiveling her head around at the sound of numerous bangs. Her lips parted to show off her sharp teeth and a feral growl rose in her throat.

"Chibi look," Vyala suddenly said, stepping a forward. "Another experiment."

Chibi closed her mouth and her ears shot up curiously. Yes she could see him, a boy, with deep blue hair and black ears. Chibi stared stupidly for a few seconds, then smiled, or at least tried to. "Hello," she said awkwardly, "I'm guessing your one of the experiments as well? Name's Chibi."

Zyrvia

Zyrvia hissed at the wall of her cell. White, blindingly white, it made things hard to see. The Arbok was half-crazed by the captivity she had been put in, and the experiments she had undergone helped no bit. She hissed again, showing off her long pearly fangs. Fangs that could kill with a single bite.

"Humanssss..." she hissed, slithering the length of her cell, her muscular body coiling and uncoiling. "Humanssss...you ssshall pay for imprisssoning me in your cccellsssss....When I get out of here, you will sssscream half a sssseasssson before you die!" At her last sentence she released a gurgle hiss that sounded truly demonic. Her vow seemed to energize her, and her black-marked eyes found the door that separated her from the outside world. A mere door could not stand up to her.

With a hiss, she charged forward and rammed her body into the door. A resounding bang announced the door holding firm, but with a small dent in it. Zyrvia growled and charged again, with the same result. A human would hear all of the racket she was making, she had to be quick. She reared back her head and spat out a glob of foul purple goo: an Acid attack. The acid hit the door with a loud hiss, and Zyrvia waited patiently while the acid ate a huge hole in the door, then began sizzling through the floor. Seeing her freedom, Zyrvia quickly slithered out of the hole (careful to avoid the Acid) and began prowling the halls looking for a way out.

(Bleh, short)

[Entei_3000]

Katt's ears drooped sadly. She took a step outside of her cell and sniffed, so many new smells. No gaurds in sight, and a lot of banging.

"Wonder what's happened?" Katt murmured, taking another cautious step out. She looekd around again, her ears pricked forward.

[DarkAmethyst]

Hikaru

Espeon's fur rose slightly when she heard the girl growl, but she relaxed again as soon as she spoke. Hikaru, who had become unnerved by the growl himself, took a few moments to respond to her.

"Hikaru," he introduced himself, his voice coming out softer than he'd intended, "I am; they've had me in captivity for a little over two years now..." His ears twitched as another crash sounded, but otherwise it wasn't known that he'd noticed it. "And you?"

Krystal

"I dunno..." Krystal mummered in response to Katt. There was another crash somewhere down the hall. "Seems there's a lot of activity today. Maybe everyone's decided they want out?"

"Nonetheless, it won't be long before the guards come down here to investigate." Krystal looked over to Glaceon, who had ventured over, having overheard their conversation. She stared at Katt for a moment or so before a big smile spread over her face, though shock was still hinted. "Katt, is that you?"

[Enkaku_Kumori]

Chibi

Chibi ignored the faraway bang she heard and instead concentrated on hikaru's question. "Huh," she said, scuffling her foot absently, "don't know how long I've been in this dump. Too long." She tapped on the door again. "Did you hear a shout coming from here?" She asked. Her tails swished, and her ears flicked.

"On second thought," she added, "have you seen any other experiments around here?"

(Short x_x)

[Skipper_The_Growlite]

OOC: Hey angel where should i be i is your pokemon

[DarkAmethyst]

OoC: Well, everyone starts off separated to begin with; you can start off trying to get out of your room or wandering the halls. That's what everyone else started off with. ^ ^;

IC: Hikaru

"Huh. I don't know how long I've been in this dump. Too long." Hikaru watched Chibi tap on the door in front of her again, "Did you hear a shout come from here? On second thought, have you seen any other experiments around here?"

"I thought I heard a shout come from somewhere around here, but I haven't seen anyone else around in a while," Hikaru responded, looking down at Espeon as she sat down silently near his feet.

OoC: Short... :wall:

[riolu42]

Calvin smiled. The many sycthers of his had been battering the door with all their might, now it was his turn.

He took a jar, and struck it with extreme force. The door creaked open, and soon, he was out.

Flying, Calvin suddenly found a group (Chibi's group).

[DamienCreater]

Damien stopped cold, he had decided to follow two loud bangs that he heard, hoping that it was someone he knew. He only found a cell door, with a large hole eaten through it, almost like it was by acid. "What the-" Without thinking he walked up the hole and began examining the edges, not thinking there could be some acid left. "Gaaah!" he had let out a cry of pain and pulled his hand back large burn was on his palm.

"That wasn't very smart,"his buizel said and climbed onto Damien's back so he could look over his shoulder. A stream of water rushed out of his mouth and onto the burn. "You're lucky acid can't poison you or we would be in trouble..."

[black fury]

chopper looked happy at all the others that escaped. he was happy that all those fellas were okay, except for their mutations.

chopper flew to the one to the other, while saying the same thing:"hello! nice to see you!". after he completed the whole round to everybody, he went back to his friend, dual."dual! all the others are coming too!" chopper flew around katt and espeon in an dancing style.

"hello there, krystal i thought? nice to meet you! what have they done to you?". but chopper didn't awaited an answer, as he flew to another one and told him exact the same thing.

[Entei_3000]

Katt looked up as an Espeon approached them. She smiled.

"You betcha," Katt said cheerfully. "No scientist can keep me locked up. I feel so exposed in all this whiteness..." Katt looked up again as a Yanmega flew up to them, then flew past.

"Dual?" Katt looked at Espeon, her head tilted in confusion.

[DamienCreater]

Damien and unnamed buizel

"Come on, we have to find who... or what burned through this door... maybe it was one of our team,"Damien said and he began to run down the hall only to be stopped by his buizel.

"But none of them can use Acid,"the small buizel argued.

"Who knows what happened to them,"Damien replied showing his claws,"not to mention you can talk,"a small growl emanated from his throat.



Aruan the Riolu

This place didn't make any sense! It was like a giant maze of endless hallways! Wait... why was he wlaking through the halls when he could walk through the walls instead?



Ayla and "Cottonbun" the buneary

Ayla, a 12 year old human girl (with the mentality of an eight year old) sat on her makeshift cot. She was garbed in white and missing her shoes. Timidly she looked down at her feet and wiggled her toes. A small smile crossed her face. "I wonder when we can see big brother again,"she said stroking a buneary's ears that sat in her lap, the small pokemon was slowly dozing off. "They said if we behaved we could see him,"the young(ish) girl said hopefully.

"That would be nice,"the small buneary said before falling asleep.




Blaze the Infernape

A large Infernape screeched at the top of its lungs and lunged at the door. Its body surrounded in flames. It was using Flare Blitz. However when it rammed into the door it fell backwards onto its back. It appeared injured and seemed to have many failed attempts at trying to knock down the flame proof door. Its body was bruised and battered covered in scratches.

[Skipper_The_Growlite]

Diesel
I let out a massive howl before hitting the door once more hopeing my master would here me


"Krystal if your around i'm coming for you."

I said as i made it though the door

and though the hall and let out a loud howl that only Krystal would understand.

I ran though the large hall as i looked for a sign before stopping and leting out one more call "Krystal." then i let out one last howl that would scare anyone. I growled then sped back though the halls

[black fury]

"my name is chopper! nice to meet you! and what is your name?" chopper asked to an vulpix-like girl, not really awaiting an answer.

chopper finished his whole round, or at least, everybody he could find, and flew back to dual and katt."hi there! your name is katt? my name is chopper! or did dual already told you? no, why the confused look? ah, because i call your friend dual? well, its an nickname, i don't really like normal names, so i gave her the name dual, because she has ice AND fire powers! and what are your powers katt? i can shape shift, but sadly, it drains my life force..."chopper told katt, but with an sad expression when he told that his shape-shifting drained his energy.

[DarkAmethyst]

OoC: Chibi, Hikaru and their Pokemon aren't with Chopper and the others; they're in another part of the hall. :oops:

I think I'll color my character's speech like I normally do; makes it easier to understand who's speaking, imo.

IC: Krystal

Glaceon opened her mouth to answer Katt, but stopped when Chopper suddenly flew over and explained the situation. She merely smiled, falling silent again as she sat down beside Krystal.

"I'm guessing this is one of your new friends?" Krystal spoke again, bringing Glaceon to look up at her. She nodded in response, looking back over to Chopper.

"Yeah; he was one of the Pokemon we heard trying to get out of their cells. While you were helping Katt, I helped him escape."

"That's nice," Krystal looked back up to the energetic Yanmega near Katt, continuing with a smile, "Nice to meet you, Chopper. You said you're a shape-shifter now?" She jumped slightly when a howl suddenly echoed throughout the halls. It didn't take long at all for her to recognize whom it belonged to.

Diesel..?

[black fury]

OOC/ im needing to go, but i will be back in an hour.(hope your still on then ^^)

"yes, i indeed am! wanna see it?" chopper asked crystal, and began to glow black, then white, blue, red, green, and began to grow bigger, taking the form of an ho-oh.

"this will prove it?" the now gigantic fire-flying typed bird asked with an hard, but beautiful voice. "then, i will take my other form back? before i fall down?" chopper asked and transformed back into an yanmega.

"so crystal, tell me, what did they done to you?" chopper asked crystal, like he was her father

[Entei_3000]

Katt jumped in surprise when Chopper flew back to them and start talking rapidly. Katt just stared at him blankly for a minute or two while processing what he said, she smiled when she understood.

"I can change color," Katt said, flicking her ears once. Immediately her black fur turned white, the rings turned light blue instead of yellow, and her eyes were yellow instead of red.

"See?" Katt flicked her ears again, returning her fur and eyes to their normal colors. "I can do a kind of shapeshift." Katt lowered her head to the ground, her nose barely touching the floor. Her body size shrunk, her tail fluffed out and her legs shortened, fur 'puffed' out around her neck. When she looked back up at Chopper, she looked like an Eevee.

"Still tryin' to get used to that," Katt said, shaking herself, which turned her back into an Umbreon. "I can do the other Eeveelutions, too. But I have only a limited amount of time."

[Winter_Cherry]

Faust looked up, there was something going on outside her door "C'mon." she whispered, gesturing at Shenzii "I'm in the mood for a fight, if it's those stupid scientists, let's give it to 'em." she said and opened the door, arm poised to punch and Shenzii spewing sparks from his cheeks. She got an odd start when she saw two others standing before them, both with ears. "You're...you're not the scientists." she said in faint surprise.

[black fury]

chopper smiled to katt when she changed her color, and changed in an eevee."that's fun!" chopper said with an smile, and transformed into an eevee too.

chopper smiled again and rolled over the ground, amusing his new form.chopper jumped at an dust piece in the air."this is fun!" chopper yelled with still an smile.

"ugh, im feeling it..." chopper gained his original form back, to prevent any more pain.

[Entei_3000]

Katt giggled at Chopper's actions.

"Don't overdo yourself," She said with concern. "We still need to get outta here." Katt looked around, then looked at Krystal. "I'm gonna go look for Hikaru, 'kay?"

Katt turned and raced away, truning her fur color white and light blue. Hopefully blending in to avoid scientists.

[DamienCreater]

Alya and "Cottonbun" the buneary

The 'young' girl seemed to snap out of her trance. She heard a familiar screech echo through the halls and finally reaching her cell, sounded like some sort of primate. "Blaze!" She cried rushing over to the door and banged on it with her fists. This also woke up bun, confused about what was going on. "Ayla?"

"I heard Blaze scream,"Ayla simply reaplied and banged on the door with greater force, only making his hands hurt even more. "Blaze!!! Let me out! I got to get to blaze!!!"she shouted at the top of her lungs,"Let me out noooww!"



Blaze the Infernape

Blaze, the previous infernape jumped to his blue feet hearing Ayla's panic. He ran over to the cell door,"Ayla!"he shouted, it sounded close to a monkey screeching however since he was shouting. He soon began punching the door, his fists consumed in fire.

[DarkAmethyst]

Krystal

Kyrstal rose and stepped back when Chopper suddenly shape-shifted into a massive Ho-oh. She watched him revert back to his normal form, the expression on her face showing that she was impressed, even if it was just a little.

"So Krystal, tell me, what have they done to you?" Chopper spoke again once he'd changed back.

"Not much, really. The experiments gave me ice powers and the ability to read minds." She held out her hands a little away from her, claws slowly growing from the ends of her nails. As she spoke again, sharp fangs, much like that of a vampire's, could be seen, "Along with fangs and retractable claws."

She looked over to Katt then, watching her first change colors, and then shift into the form of an Umbreon.

"That's really cool," she remarked, meaning to comment them both, since she hadn't said anything about Chopper's ability earlier. She watched him change into an Eevee, though only for a few seconds before he had to switch back.

"Don't overdo yourself. We still need to get outta here." Katt beat Krystal and Glaceon to any concerned remarks, "I'm gonna go look for Hikaru, 'kay?" After speaking again, she darted down the hall, switching her fur to white and blue again.

Krystal sighed softly, looking back to Glaceon and Chopper. "We should probably get a move on too, huh?" She jumped slightly then when a feminine shout rang out, followed closely by what sounded like the screech of a monkey-like Pokemon. Glaceon turned in the direction of the sound.

"And maybe the first thing we should do is go check that out?"


Hikaru

The door before the group opened suddenly, revealing another girl and an unsually large Luxray. Hikaru tensed when seeing the Electric-type's cheeks sparking angrily, but relaxed when the Trainer spoke, surprise detected in her voice.

"You're..You're not the scientists."

That explained the hostility she and her Pokemon had had when they'd first opened the door...Hikaru remained silent as Chibi spoke, simply listening to what was said. He didn't feel obliged to speak just yet, but if an opportunity arose, he would.

[Enkaku_Kumori]

Chibi

Chibi raised an eyebrow as the door swung open and a girl who looked ready to tear her head off became visible. She had her fist in the air as if to strike Chibi, then she blinked slowly as she saw Chibi. "You're...you're not the scientists." The girl whispered faintly, surprise taking her.

"Arceus, I hope not," Chibi replied with a grin. "If I were then I would have burned myself alive a long time ago." She glanced quickly at the Luxray that accompanied the girl and around the room. "I assume you were the one screaming?" Chibi asked semi-playfully, wagging her tails.

Zyrvia

Zyrvia hissed in alarm as the door to her immediate right suddenly began resounding with bangs. It was as if its captive was trying to beat down the door, which would never work, as Zyrvia had to melt her's down. She hissed again, loud enough to turn into a snarl of sorts and be heard trough the door.

"Who are you?" She asked," more importanly, what are you?"

[DamienCreater]

(Enkaku_Kumori, who are oyu talking to... Ayla or Blaze? Both are punching their cell doors)

[Enkaku_Kumori]

(Enkaku_Kumori, who are oyu talking to... Ayla or Blaze? Both are punching their cell doors)
(Bleh! :P Forgot that little tidbit: Blaze. *headdesks*))

[DamienCreater]

Blaze the Infernape

Blaze stopped pending on the door hearing a voice inside,"Blaze,"he growled,"An Infernape." He could still her Dmaien's sister screaming for him. "Let me out now,"he continued slamming on the door with his all his strength, it made a slight dent. "I need to get to her!"


Ayla and "cottonbun" the buneary

Ayla couldn't hear Blaze anymore, did something bad happen to him? "Blaze!"she shouted even louder,"Big brother....Anyone!"

[Enkaku_Kumori]

Zyrvia

Zyrvia nodded to herself as she listened to the Infernape story. "Fine," she hissed, "I am Zyrvia by the way, an Arbok. Now, if you don't want to get injured then I ssssuggessst you ssstep away from the door." She waited for a moment, then reared back her head again. A lump appeared in her throat, and she spat out another glob of foul purple goo.

The same result happened with the previous Acid, there was a huge hiss and the metal of the door was quickly eaten away by the corrosive acid. Zyrvia watched unblinkingly as a hole rapidly grew in the door, incinerating through the floor as well and anything else it touched. "Watch your ssstep." Zyrvia warned the now visible Infernape that had been beating on the door.

[black fury]

CHOPPER

chopper flew to dual and asked her:"dual, how do we get out off here? and the others? are we gonna find them? do i need to change in an gigantic tank and blow the place up? her dual?" chopper asked dual, patiently waiting an answer.

PICOLLO

"fine, they forgot to lock my cell, ell, l. now, escape here! here! ere! re! e!" picollo told himself and flew out of his cell, as he heard some voices. probably of an eeveelution, an bug and something else, not exactly knowing what."huh? uh?. i better go check out that noise, maybe that 'guys' could help me get out of this scary...thing-house"

[Entei_3000]

Katt skidded to a halt at the corner of a hallway, breathing hard. She looked around herself. Doors everywhere.

"Goodness knows where he is!" Katt groaned, flicking her ears in annoyance. Her yellow eyes looked down the hallway. Then she ran down the hall.

"Hikaru!" Katt called, sliding around another corner, kicking of the wall before she smashed into it. "Hikaru, where are you?"

[DarkAmethyst]

Krystal & Glaceon

"I'm not sure," the Ice-type responded, looking around them as she rose to her feet. She could heard distant yelling; a feminine voice, from the sound of it. She couldn't tell what she was yelling, but it seemed as though she were calling someone. Katt's familiar voice rang out as well, calling for Hikaru. She looked back to Chopper, "I don't think blowing the place up would be a good idea right now; not until we're finished here, anyway."

"We should probably try and find some others. There's obviously some out there that are still alive." Krystal spoke, bringing Glaceon to look up at her.

"You're right. Some guards or scientists are gonna be down here soon to investigate, probably, so we all need to try and get out as soon as possible."

OoC: I'll post for Hikaru next time; I can't think of anything for him right now :oops:

[RocketMeowth]

"Mother... father... no... no no... look... lookout! No! MOTHER!" Red Fury shot up at that moment, his nightmare ending in a flash of black as the reinactment of his capture was once again shown to him. His heart raced as fast as a Rapidash could run, while his already deteriorated mind delved deeper into chaotic thought. Springing to his paws, he began hissing vile curses at his captors. He prayed that one heard him and attempted to act on it. That way he could burn them alive in a blaze of fire as dark as his tortured heart.

He waited and waited, but still none came to halt his fury. Depressed and enraged, he let out a scream as he slammed the cold rusted metal bars of his cell. Scratches lined the top of his head from repeated attempts while memories began fading in fear of his anger. He was slowly losing all past memories of his childhood as well as what ever sanity he had left.

"I want out! I want out! Mother please! I WANT OUT OF THIS HELL HOLE!" he screamed in frustration as tears ran from his eyes. He then fell to the ground in pain as the burning flames inside him scorched his organs in laughter. At least, that's what it felt like to him. Black fire was an untapped power source much stronger than normal flames. However it came at such a heavy burden that it was near pointless to use. Red Fury was being used to test these unstable flames. His changed form was done as a way of strengthening him to coax with the pain, but it only made things worse.

He was weak... unable to free himself from his prison. He was also afraid to use the fire. This cell was probably going to be his grave.

=^^= Nya

[All Hope Is Gone]

As he was still walking in the hallways filled with an endless amount of dead ends."I'm going to die in here!" yelled Slash

OOC:sorry it's so short

[Entei_3000]

Katt halted, her ears nearly straight up in the air. She turned slowly, sniffing. Smels of all kinds flooded her. She shook her head in surprise.

"I know I heard something... or, someone..." Katt trotted back down the hall and stopped in front of one of the cells. She tilted her head and walked up to the door.

"Anyone in there?" Katt called through.

OOC: Somethin' for Red Fury to interact with if you want, RM.

[Winter_Cherry]

Faust gave a short bark of a laugh and dropped her hand followed by Shenzii, who stopped sparking. "I'm just glad I realized that before I hurt somebody too badly. I'd gladly bust up the scientists, but not anyone who happens to be a victim here." she said, then "I'm called Faust and this is Shenzii. Who are you two?" she asked. Shenzii reached out to touch the other's minds Hello. He said simply.

[DarkAmethyst]

Hikaru & Espeon

A slight smile came onto Hikaru's face at the girl, now introduced as Faust, made a remark about beating up the scientists. By now, he would most likely do so as well.

"I'm Hikaru," he introduced himself, then gestured toward the lavendar Pokemon at his feet, "And this is Espeon." He smiled down at Shenzii when he spoke as well, though through telepathy. He'd actually expected him to speak like a human, as all of the other Pokemon here did, but telepathy was pretty cool, too. He found his gaze wandering, now; the darkly colored ears atop his head pricked forward when shouting began filling the halls. He could've sworn one of the voices was Katt's...

At his feet, Espeon bowed her head slightly to the two in front of them, raising back up with a smile on her own face. "Hi there."

[RocketMeowth]

OOC: Thanks Entei!

IC:

"Anyone in there?" asked an unfamiliar voice. Red Fury's ear perked in response as his heart thumped. His breathing became rapid and uncontrolled as his melting mind began flashing images of his siblings. But mainly of Callie, his near twin sister. The voice reminded him so much of her that it sent him into a place he knew all too well. A place of defense and fear with tilt back ears and lifted fur. A place where his curled tails uncurled and stood stiff as his body began to quiver.

"Callie?" his voice shook.

=^^= Nya

[Winter_Cherry]

Faust and Shenzii

Faust nodded "Nice to meet you both." she said smiling slightly, though it must have seemed creepy with her blue-tinged lips and odd appearance. Shenzii stretched and seemed to smile "I agree. Anyone that's not coming to torment us is very well met." he told them.

Seth and Kit

White. Stupid color, why did everything have to be white? Seth wondered, staring blankly at the walls of his cell. Next to him lay his only friend, the ninetales he called Kit, she snorted. Looking up then picking herself off the floor, Kit twitched her ears towards the door. "I do believe that I hear lots of noise Seth, and I don't think that it's the scientists. Wanna peek?" she asked. Seth shrugged indifferently, almost unresponsive to her words. It was just a way of finding hope, then having it crushed. "I don't care Kit. You know I don't, nothing matters." he replied softly, but he stood anyway, going to the door. Kit followed, and watched as the boy opened it slowly. Seth peeked around the door slowly, and was surprised to find others standing in the hall, all dressed in white like him. Unsure, he just stood by the door, listening.

[Redkaminski]

Mike just sat around.
Just like he did every single day in this stupid place.
He sat around thinking. Thinking about his family. His mom and dad, why did they have to die?
This was the most unacceptable torture ever. The life of doing absolutely nothing but jsut barely hanging on to life with those horrible meals the guards feed through the hole in the door.
For some reason, Mike couldn't use his Teleport ability. Maybe it was this goddamned collar around his neck. Mike always sat around or well, FLOATING around swearing at himself in his thoughts. How did he get here? Why was he here? He would have to find out eventually.
-Guard walks over and looks in through bars-
Hey there wimp hows it going?
-Mike breathes fire on his face from anger-
Is that a good enough explanation you jerk?:angry:
-Guard zaps Mike with stun gun-
Son of a.....
-Mike falls asleep-:sleeping:

[DarkAmethyst]

OoC: Redkaminski, try to refrain from strong language and overuse of the smilies, please. Also, you might want to delete one of your posts; there's two of the same one.

RM, you're making meh lose the game! D: (jk)

IC: Hikaru & Espeon

Hikaru nodded. After all that the scientists had put him through, he was happy to see anyone who wouldn't hurt him - even if they ended up as unfriendly people or Pokemon.

"Yeah... Have either of you seen any other experiments around? There's been a lot of commotion going on all over the place."

[All Hope Is Gone]

"Hey who are you?" Asked Slash walking up to one of the scientists."It's one of the expiriments." said the scientist "I'll kill it!" "You can try but you will fail. The scientist runs at Slash but Slash just tackles him which knocks him out, and runs."Wow that was easy!" exclaimed Slash

[black fury]

PICOLLO
"wait, haven't I being here before?" picollo counted the amount of lamps, and counted surprisingly 16, one more then before"but..."picollo checked the map on the wall.

"sooo...here is hall 34,4...take left, then take the second right,ight,t,...go through the big defence door,oor,r...take the hall right,ight,t...through the gate,ate,e...and freedom! dom! m!"

"and here was the second right,ight,t... so, here it is,il. the defence,fence, ence,e.hm..looks like im gonna need some help,elp,p. well,that means i am going to search some other pokemons and guys, uys,s". picollo flew back and heard some talking.

"erm, hello?ello,o?" picollo said to an umbreon who was rushing, probably in search of something or somebody.

[Entei_3000]

"Um, I'm Katt," The Umbreon paced back and forth by the door. "I'm gonna get you out, OK? Don't try smashign against the door, try to stay in a far corner or something."

Katt backed up, then ran at the door, smashign into it, her shoulder throbbed as she kicked away form the door, landing on all fours.

"Those doors are tougher than I thought," Katt growled in annoyance. "She opened her mouth and fired a Shadow Ball at the door, crouching down to avoid flying door pieces. She ran to whatever was left of the door and looked in.

"You're alright, yeah?" Katt called inside.

[RocketMeowth]

Red Fury could only weep as the voice said she wasn't Callie. That she was someone else. He did as he was ordered to, knowing nothing more than the horrible tortures done to him if dissobidiance was ever shown. However deep within his head, a burning rage was building.

When the doors to his cell were busted open, he shot his attention upwards to his rescuer. He had not known of any other species outside his own seeing as how forest Meowth tend to live secluded lives. Out of fear and anger he reacted unlike what his rescuer was expecting.

"You're one of them! GET AWAY FROM ME!" he hollored at the top of his lungs. His whole body stiffened as bot his eyes sat locked onto his target. His mouth began to open up as black flames slowly started to form within it. He was ready to unleash what he was built for. Total destruction and the controlling of a dangerous element. "GET AWAY!" he screech as the fire burst from his mouth, making a stream line for his rescuer. At the same time, his face began to burn. He shut his still working eye while the blind one kept open, fearing no pain as it had already been destroyed by toxins.

=^^= Nya

[Winter_Cherry]

Faust and Shenzii

Faust shook her head "No, we haven't. I haven't come out of this room until now. Should we, maybe check nearby cells?" she asked curiously. Shenzi, turned his head to look at a door that had opened down the hall.

Seth and Kit

Seth's eyes widened as he heard one of the group speak, the boyish-looking girl sounded familiar, as well as looked somewhat familiar as well. He moved out of the door's cover and stared at her, then walked towards the group. He was gaining hope with every step he took, stopping about ten feet away, he finally opened his mouth "Faust? Is that you?" he asked, he voice trembling.

Faust, Shenzii, Seth, and Kit

Faust turned and stared at the boy now in front of her and gasped. "Seth? Kid, what are you doing here!?!?!" she asked, looking at him. The boy shrugged simply trying to not speak, he was afraid he might start crying "I...I got caught." he said, his voice shaking and barely above a whisper, his ears flattening on his head.

OOC: Seth would welcome Red with open arms if he needs a home of sorts later, RocketMeowth.

[DarkAmethyst]

Hikaru & Espeon

"No, we haven't. I haven't come out of this room until now. Should we, maybe check nearby cells?" (Winter_Cherry quote)

Hikaru opened his mouth to answer, but stopped himself when a soft voice occurred a few feet away.

The sappire haired boy turned his attention to another boy who looked a few years younger than himself; he appeared fairly young. He noticed instantly the ears on his head; those of an Umbreon's, from the look of it. From the look of what was currently happening, Faust and this boy knew each other somehow. He'd heard Faust call the boy Seth, so that must have been his name.

Deciding to wait and see what was going to happen, he fell silent again. Espeon swished her tail patiently at his feet, watching the two silently.

OoC: Ugh, braindead..

[Winter_Cherry]

Faust and Seth

Seth bit his lip, trying really hard not to cry in front of Faust, but he was really happy he had found her, one kind person in nightmare, and one he knew. He couldn't hold it back any longer, the tears flowed down his cheeks "Seth? Seth!" Faust cried, closing the distance between them and kneeling on the floor in front of him "Kid, why are you crying?" she asked, concerned. Seth looked at her and smiled "I'm just happy to see you, really happy, Faust." he sniffed, then throwing himself at her and hugging her. Faust laughed and patted his head "Geez, it's nice to see you too Seth." she murmured, blushing. "Never knew I was so loved." she laughed again. Shenzii came up behind her and nudged her as Kit came behind Seth and sat down quietly.

OOC: Seth actually looks younger than he is.

[black fury]

OOC: wow, what's happening? im a tad confused, but anyway, that don't matters!(except im sort of brain dead)
oh yeah, and don't worry about picollo, he don't knows draco meteor and don't has the powers of groudon etc.

oh yeh, amethyst, im giving glaceon and crystal something to happen, and don't crystal and glaceon need to meet the other ones?

IC: PICOLLO
picollo watched the umbreon run around an corner and shatter an door, using shadow ball.picollo flew aside from an piece of metal that flew in his direction."wow,ow, that was,as...how do you say that?hat?t?".

CHOPPER
"erm, crystal and dual, are those dudes there bad ones, or are it friends happy to see you? because...they are leaping so quick at us...eh crystal?" chopper asked, turning his blade green, meant to prepare an leaf blade, just in case of.

[Entei_3000]

"Whoa, hey, easy," Katt jumped back, hoping it'd calm the red Meowth down. "I'm not one of the scients, I'm one of the experiments, too. So's my trainer." She smiled kindly.

"Are you hurt?" Katt jumped as a Shuppet spoke to her. She turned her head to him.

"Um, what do you mean?" Katt looked confused.

[RocketMeowth]

OOC: Thanks! Not sure if red will want one, but it's good to know someone would be willing to take him in. lol

IC:

"NYA!" he screeched after the black flames were halted. He then ran forward and leapt over the Umbreon, escaping from his cell and what his mind convinced him was certain death. Skidding from the speed, he bumped into the wall and made a quick turn. As he ran towards the right he made one last spin and slid to a halt. He was now a good distance from the Shuppet and strange Umbreon that was trying to trick him. "YOU'LL NEVER GET ME ALIVE!" he screame once more. He then turned around and began to run off down the hall. His mind raced faster and faster with images of Callie, her screams echoed in his head like a tunnel. It was torture.

=^^= Nya

[black fury]

OOC:rocketmeowth, wanting an battle?
PICOLLO

IC:"you'll never get me alive!"the now escaped meowth yelled, and ran away."wait! were not the bad ones! nes!s!" picollo used flew through an wall, to cut off an piece of the running meowth, who looked bad, probably from his horribly mutations.picollo saw the meowth run, and flew before it.then picollo used will-o-wisp to make an wall of fire to hopefully let the meowth stop running. "please stop! we are not the bad ones,nes,s!" picollo yelled at the meowth.

[DarkAmethyst]

OoC: Oh, right. I forgot about that. :oops: I'll go back and edit.

IC: Krystal and Glaceon

"Erm, Crystal and Dual, are those dudes there bad ones, or are it friends happy to see you? Because...they are leaping so quick at us...eh Crystal?"

Krystal and Espeon turned in the direction Chopper was talking about, though neither of them recognized the group heading their way.

"No, I can't say I recognize them...." Krystal looked down to Glaceon, "You?"

The Ice-type shook her head, "I don't, either." She shifted to a battle stance, lowering her head nearer to the ground. There wasn't any way of telling if whoever was headed their way were evil and not; it was probably best to be prepared.

Hikaru and Espeon

The boy, referred to as Seth, had started crying by now, and Faust had rushed over to him. He hadn't caught what all was said between the two, but they were hugging now, so a happy reunion must have been occurring.

Hikaru ventured over, prompting Espeon to rise and follow silently. He stopped a few paces away from the two.

"Is everything alright?"

[RocketMeowth]

OOC: Haha, a battle won't go well with Red. xD

IC:

"Leave me alone!" Red screamed with tightly shut eyes as he ran through the orbs. The fire scorched his blood red color fur whilst his twin tails smacked them aside. He ran straight passed the ghost before him, not wanting to stop even if they weren't his enemies. All he wanted was to be out, free, and to get revenge.

He may not have shown it right off, but Red was furious inside. His heart ached with the pain of a thousand screaming souls just killed in a war. Everything he'd known and loved were destroyed. His home, siblings, parents, everything. He had no reason to keep living other than what his aching body told him. Revenge. Those scientists would pay... even if it meant sacrificing his own nine lives to do it.

=^^= Nya

[black fury]

OOC: okay then, when he is calmed down? to practice?

IC: PICOLLO
picollo saw the meowth run through his will-o-wisp, and followed him.picollo's H mark began to glow and saw what he thought. through telepathy, he said the following words:

" you, calm down! i know you want to get out of here, and you are sad because of the dead of your family! you HAD an family, i don't even know my family! please, calm down!"

picollo flew through an wall, slicing off the corner,now standing before the meowth."please, stop this blind ravage!avage!age!e! if you want to get out, you are going to need help!elp!p!"

[Entei_3000]

"Hey, wait a minute now!" Katt called, dashing after the Meowth. She followed the frightened creature and stopped when the Shuppet tried to stop the Meowth. But the red cat Pokemon didn't stop there.

"Hey! Stop!" Katt dashed after him. "If you don't calm down and quiet down, those scientists will hear you and hurt you more! If you keep quiet and stop, we can all get out of here, we'll be free!" Katt ran across the wal and jumped in front of the red Meowth, her sides heaving.

"Please," She panted, she lowered her nose to the ground, transforming into an Eevee, hopefuly looking a little less threatening. "Alright," She tried again, looking up and smiling. "We only want to help you. We can work together to get out, you can be free, we can all get out and find a way hom! Think about it! Back to the place where you lived! You can tell friends about your adventures, fighting off scientists and wild Pokemon! You'd be like a hero!"

Katt dipped her head respectfully. "So, please? Come with us. I know you're scared, I am too."

[Winter_Cherry]

Faust and Seth

Faust turned to Hikaru "Yes, we're fine. Seth's just happy to see me, we go quite a ways back, don't we kid?" she asked with a smirk, they'd befriended each other several years ago during their time as expieraments in Magma--the quiet little kid and the obnoxious girl who chose to make her life harder than it had to by by causing fights among not only the other expieraments, but the grunts and security, too--how they went together, no one knew. Seth sniffed again and nodded "Yeah, a long time." he agreed. Faust rubbed one of his ears with a slight smile "You know, Seth, I still remember what you looked like before the ears and tail." she told him, he looked up, surprised, "Really? I can't remember a time I didn't have them." he replied, Faust nodded at him and rubbed the ears again "Yeah, but that was a long time ago, though you probably remember what I looked like before the eye." she said, Seth just nodded "Yes, I do. Your hair was shorter then." he replied.

[RocketMeowth]

OOC: No thanks. It will take a while for Red to calm down enough to keep a stable mind. And even then it would be too easy for him to go insane. lol

IC:

Red stood tall, his legs stiff and his heart still pounding like a crazed Rapidash. The words being spoken to him only enrage him more. Who were they to talk of his home and friends? Everyone he ever knew and loved, everything that was his life...

He dropped his ears and his fogged glare shot to the cold unforgiving floor. His voice was heavy and full of distress.

"Who the hell are you to talk that way?" he quivered, "My home, the place I loved... it's as dark as my fire is! And my friends? Their terror filled screams echo in my mind as their deaths rotate throughout my entity! I can't go a minute without seeing them burned alive! EVERYTHING I EVER KNEW AND LOVED IS GONE!" He took a deep breath as his pupils shrank in size. His breathing was rough and his fur was lifted. "And I don't care about your life you ghost! I care for only my mother and father, my sisters and brothers, ME! No one else you got that!" he hissed with bared teeth. His heart raced even more, its unstable beat vibrating in his chest.

He fell to the floor, his legs no longer able to stay standing. He wasn't knocked out, his legs had just lost feeling. Tears ran from his horror filled eyes and he tried to level his mind. But with it deteriorating so quickly, it was very difficult for him to do so.

"I have nothing..."

=^^= Nya

[black fury]

PICOLLO
"okay,kay,y. you are mad,ad. that was cruel what they did to your family, but it won't help kill everything and run around! they would kill you! you can't win against an whole army of those scientists! you may run around, but now im ready! do what you want, im going to search others to get away from here!" picollo yelled at the meowth, not caring anymore about him, like he was just an stone. picollo flew away, without feeling sorry.

CHOPPER

"yeh...those don't look like friends...? it are...mans with pokeballs...lucky im already captured! no, wait...THEY RELEASE POKEMONS!! its fightning time dual!" chopper yelled and flew at an tangrowth, that one released, and used night slash on it.

[Entei_3000]

Katt lowered her ears sadly.

"Oh..." She whispered. "I... I didn't know. I'm sorry." Katt walked up to the Meowth. She shook herself, transforming into an Umbreon again. She gently slipped herself underneath him and stood up.

"I'll help you get out of here," She murmured.

[RocketMeowth]

Red Fury didn't know what to do. No one other than his family had shown the slightest bit of compassion or understanding for his situation. Other Pokemon just beat him or laughed and made fun of his predicament. At least, the scientists Pokemon all did. He felt calmer somehow. Maybe it was because this Umbreon Eevee thing had a voice so close to Callie.

"I'm not going to give up my goal. I'll get back at those scientists somehow for destroying my life. I hope you understand that? But... I guess that for right now I can take it easy and help you and your friends. Just know that if I see a scientist... you may just lose me because I wont let up..." he spoke in a calmer voice. He couldn't really walk so there was no point in being angry. Not until he got the feeling back in his legs. With a long sigh, he finally revealed his name to Katt. "My name is Red Fury. But you can just call me Red."

=^^= Nya

[Enkaku_Kumori]

Chibi

Well this was certainly unexpected. A boy with his Ninetales had suddenly appeared and the girl, Faust, seemed to reconize the two. It was a happy renunion, with Seth breaking down into a few tears. Chibi swished her tails, feeling the tiniset bit of envy at the reunited duo.

"Hey lighten up," Vyala mewed, prancing over to the Ninetales. "We'll find the others when we get out of this thrice-damned place." She sniffed the Ninetales in a friendly manner, letting out a small bark.


(Yeah, mah brains iz melted.)

[Entei_3000]

Katt turned her head to looked over her shoulder at Red.

"I understand," She said, starting to walk down the hallway. "I'd feel the same, they took away my trainer, I haven't seen him in two years...." Katt's ears lowered again. "Sometimes I just want to curl up in his arms, like when I was small. I don't know where he is, or even if he's still alive." Katt looked ahead. "But if he is, I'll find him." She smiled at Red. "I'm Katt, by the way."

I promise....

Katt turned the corner, so many doors. She half-expected a scientist to burst out of one of them.

"Dreary place, isn't it?" Katt commented. "Not like the outdoors." Katt sighed, she hadn't seen sunlight in ages. Katt picked up the pace a bit, she turned another corner, and stopped dead still. Her yellow eyes widened.

There, right in front of her, were several people, and several Pokemon. All looked to be more experiments. But only two had Katt's gaze.

She recognized the Espeon almost immediately, and naturally, seeing the Espeon, her gaze wandered to the boy near it. She looked up at him, she could feel tears form.

"Hi-Hikaru..." She whispered, she realized her legs were shaking. She slowly slid to her belly and slipped out from underneath Red carefully, she loked at Red to make sure he wasn't hurt, then she looked back up at the boy.

"Hikaru," She said again, a little louder, her tears began to pour, tears she hadn't felt since they were separated.

[Skipper_The_Growlite]

Deisel

As i ran though the hall's i fallowed the noise i heard when i noticed Krystal

"Krystal ,You alright." I said noticing alot of people around

I began to growl "What's going on." I said looking around the room

OOC: I am confused

[Winter_Cherry]

Faust and Seth

Kit leaned down next to Vyala and licked her face with a warm humming sound "Hello small one, what do they call you? Seth calls me Kit." she said brightly, delighted to meet someone so closely related in species to herself. Seth and faust turned to look as he heard someone say "Hi-Hikaru..." follwed by the same name, a bit louder. He saw the Umbreon and meowth-like pokemon with her and twitched his ears another happy reunion. Faust smiled as Shenzii wandered over to Kit and Vyala, his unusually big paws making soft thumps on the floor. "My name is Shenzii." he said calmly.

[DarkAmethyst]

Hikaru and Espeon

Vyala and Shenzii had wandered over to Seth's Ninetales by now; it seemed the three were getting acquainted. Hikaru watched them silently, though his attention quickly shifted when a soft, familiar voice occurred from behind him.

"H-Hikaru..." His ears pricked foward, and he turned in the direction of the voice, his eyes locking on the the Umbreon only a few paces away. There was a Meowth behind her, red in color, aside from his back paws, ears and tail(s), which were black.

Hikaru stared at the Umbreon, who was crying now; no doubt tears of relief and joy. He could feel his own eyes growing wet as he stepped toward her slowly. Part of him was having trouble grasping the fact that this was his lost Pokemon; the one he'd thought for sure was gone forever.

"Katt...?" he tried the name, his voice just above a whisper, as he dropped to his knees in front of her, Espeon running up to his side soon after, tail swishing excitedly.

Krystal and Glaceon

A low growl emitted from Glaceon's throat at the sight of the humans. Judging from their appearences and the hositility they had toward the group, this was no doubt some of the scientists.

Behind her, Krystal's fists clenched at her sides, a dark scowl coming onto her face at the sight of them.

"Krystal, you alright?"

The lavendar haired girl broke out of her anger temporarily when a familiar voice came from behind. She turned to look at a Houndoom standing right behind her - her Houndoom.

"Diesel?" she seemed to not have heard his question of current events; utterly surprised and relieved to see him standing there.

OoC: Basically, with Krystal, Glaceon and Chopper, all that's happening is an attack by some scientists and their Pokemon. The others are in a different part of the hall, so right now, you don't really have to worry about that. ^ ^;

[Entei_3000]

Katt put one shaking paw forward, trying to stay calm. But of course, when you see someone you haven't seen for two years, calmness just gets thrown out the window.

Katt ran onto Hikaru's lap, burying her face in his shoulder. She tried to speak, but she couldn't get anything to come out.

Katt looked up at Hikaru, her eyes shining with joy.

"I missed you," Her voice was hardly a whisper.

~~~

Lilly sat on the hard cot in her cell, her legs drawn up to her chest. Her wings folded close to her, hidden behind her left wing was her Pikachu. Lilly sratched at the sticker on her neck.

You scratch that anymore at you'll start bleeding. Her Pikachu said softly. Lilly sighed, and let her arm drop.

"I want out," She murmured. "Right now." Lilly stood up, she stil had on her normal clothing, the scientists had discovered that it'd be difficult to get her wings through the white outfit.

But they had taken her backpack, along with her other Pokemon. Lilly stood up and walked to the door. Pikachu watched her form the cot. He jumped an inch or two when she suddenly kicked the door, which sent her reeling back a few feet.

"Well that didn't work," Lilly muttered, rubbing her ankle.

Is it locked?

"Prob'ly."

Are you sure?

"Pikachu, I highly doubt that they would leave it-" Lilly started as she tried the doorknob, the door swung open easily.

"Locked...."

Pikachu smiled and ran out. Lilly followed, she pulled at the sticker, wincing as it peeled off. She crumpled it up and dropped it on the floor.

[RocketMeowth]

Red Fury lay on the cold hard ground, his legs still denying him any feeling. The Umbreon that had helped him was becoming all sentimental as she saw a Pokemon she must have known. Red could only let out a sigh as his eyes took to the floor. He could never experience a reunion such as this ever again. It tore at his heart causing tears to fall from his eyes.

=^^= Nya

[Lastwyvern]

Rain slowly opened his eyes, only to shut them closed again. the bright lights were blinding him as he was being carried across a seemingly endless hallway. His hands were clutched around his turtle necklace, given to him by his mother. The scientists tried to take it, but they always sounded like they hurt their hands on something whenever they tried. The sedative they gave him was heavy though, and he couldn't see what was happening. The only thing he could think of was the necklace, and the pokeball tucked in his sweater pocket.
Rain was about to go under again, but the last parts from there that he could remember, was the screeching of what sounded like a huge metal door, and the feeling of being tossed against a wall. The floor was freezing, but it felt like he landed on something soft, and fell asleep quickly.

Rain's eyes opened abruptly. The room was spinning, as the sedative was not completely gone. He turned his head around. a white box room, one giant door that looked like a bank safe, only eight times thicker, and him. He was in the corner of the room, farthest as possible from the door. Rain tried to reach for it, but found himself held back. He turned his head around to find heavy metal chains around his ankles and wrists wrapped around his yellow fur. Wait... fur? yellow? He looked at himself. His clothes were covering most of it, but he was completely covered in yellow fur and a white mane. he had a single tail protruding from his hip bone, and his face was elongated to what he assumed was a muzzle.
The sedative was mostly gone, and he could think straight again. "Wait... What the heck happened to me?" His head still felt heavy, which was odd, as the sedative was done already. he wrapped his arms around his head, and felt flat, diamond-shaped fuzzy ears where his normal ones would be.

He had no idea where he was, no idea WHEN it was, and no idea what was happening to him. "Yellow fur, humongous ears, a muzzle and a tail..."
He was almost exactly like a Jolteon... Other than the fact he could stand on his two legs, Rain was a Jolteon. A Jolteon with a tail.
He still had no idea where he was, and that's when he remembered. His family, his friends.
Rain started to weep quietly. Chained to a wall with a door that could pass for the Great wall of China, half-Jolteon, he didn't have any reason not to be depressed. separated from anyone he knew or loved. Rain's fur chaffed against the chains as he fell to the ground and pounded it as hard as he could. The chains gave a little rustle as the heavy metal landed to the solid floor. A red and white ball fell out of his front pocket, but only one.
Maybe... The ball opened, and a bright flash enveloped the room. A red pup with black short stripes, and a fluffy white mane came out. I was hoping when he was going to let me out, it's been like what, two days? I was kind of thinking he was dead...

Rain stared at his Growlithe for a moment. "Did Pyre just talk...?" Clearly dismayed by this, the Growlithe stared back. "Wait... you can understand me? Well, I WAS going to comment on the fur, ears and all, but I think now would be a bad time, right?"

((Occ. I wanted to stop here before I PASSED OUT. Did i go overboard? well, it's all downhill from here folks))

[Winter_Cherry]

Faust and Seth

Seth looked over at the red meowth-like pokemon still laying on the floor, now crying, or so it appeared. He left Faust to crouch down beside it, reaching out a tentative hand, then stopping midway. He knew some pokemon here had gone crazy, he wasn't sure if this was one of them, he withdrew his hand, but bent down a little further "Are you okay? You seem hurt, do you need a little help?" he asked softly. Faust kept a close eye on him without making it too clear Seth was almost the only object of her attention, Shenzii was the other, over with Seth's ninetales and the other girl's vulpix. She would have to ask him how he'd come into possession of Kit, as she'd called herself, later.

[RocketMeowth]

Red Fury's nerves jumped as the other Pokemon spoke to him. He could feel a small tension forming that wasn't a good feeling to him. At that exact moment, his legs regained feeling and he was able to leap up ont o them. With fur lifted and eyes wide, the started red cat jumped away from the Pokemon that spoke to him.

"I... I'm fine!" he sniffed as he rubbed his eyes with his leg to get rid of whatever tears were there. He then took a deep sigh and sat down. His expression quickly changed from the sad little cat to anger and despair. He kept his cool though by placing his rage into the litle container that was his already hurt heart. "K-Katt... Katt who are these guys?" he asked with a stiff raspy voice.

=^^= Nya

[Lastwyvern]

Pyre was pacing around the room aimlessly as Rain was squatting in front of the door, looking for a way out. "Well, it's locked. I don't see why they wouldn't... He said quietly, Half to himself and half to his Growlithe. His eyes wandered left though, to the open space. *hinges...?* Yes, they were hinges, Fat, huge hinges, but hinges none the less. "Hey Pyre, can you melt these hinges?
The Growlithe looked back at him with a funny stare. "What for? Even if you break out of this hell-hole, they're probably going to find out and stuff you back in here...
They both sighed. The dim light of the poorly installed lamp above them occasionally flickered from time to time. Look, do you want to get out of here or not? If someone else is escaping, chances are they won't stop to save the rest of us." Wait. More of us...
Pyre challenged him. "I do want to get out of here, but what are you going to do then, looking like this? " Look, just do it! I'll fix that later, okay?" He shouted. If there was people out the door, they could hear him.
Pyre took an involuntary step back. He's never seen this side of Rain before, and it hurt him inside to see him frustrated like this. He bowed his head respectively to show him he was listening to Rain, and let off a stream of fire to melt one of the hinges.
Rain stared at his pokemon, feeling guilty that he hurt him. "I... I'm sorry i burst out like that. You didn't deserve it." There was an akward silence, but the hinge broke off after Rain smashed into the door a couple times. Pyre looked up at his owner with a little smile. "Oh stop being so hard on yourself, i was due for it anyways. Do you want me to melt the rest of them, or...?"

[DarkAmethyst]

OoC: Hikaru and Seth are Trainers. :oops:

IC: Hikaru and Espeon

Hikaru smiled warmly at his Pokemon, beginning to stroke her fur as he responded, "I missed you, too..." It was hard to speak in anything but a whisper, for if he tried to speak normally, he feared he'd burst into tears himself. Of course, that would be perfectly acceptable in this case, but he wanted to try and keep hold of himself. He hugged Katt tightly (but not to the point where she can't breathe), feeling a few tears of utter relief and joy slip from both eyes. It wasn't long at all before he released Katt and used the back of his hand to wipe them away.

His attention shifted then to Seth and the Meowth, who appeared to be crying. Seth had walked over and crouched down beside him, asking if he was alright. He watched the oddly colored Meowth jump away suddenly, his eyes wide with what appeared to be fear.

Hikaru looked to Katt when asked her about all of them. "You know him?"

OoC: Stupid dialogue to close with, but I couldn't think of anything else. xD; I wanted to give Katt a chance to answer before Hikaru introduced himself.

[Entei_3000]

Katt looked up at Hikaru, she gently touched her nose to his. She jumped when red spoke to her. She turned her head to him.

"I know a few of them," She answered, sliding off of Hiakru's lap. "This is my trainer, Hikaru," She smiled up at him. "And this is Espeon, another Pokemon of my trainer's." Katt touched her tail to Espeon's shoulder, a smile on her face. "But.." Katt halted, looking uncertainly at everyone else. "I'm not sure who everyone else is."

Katt looked up at Hikaru as he spoke to her. She nodded and trotted over to Red, slipping herself underneath him and standing up again. "Yeah, I heard him in his cell and got him out." Katt smiled teasingly at Red. "Had a moment of panic, but he's calmer now." Katt walked up to Hikaru again, bumping her head gently into his hand. "I'm so glad you're OK..."

~~~

Lilly, please. Slow down! I don't have wings! Pikachu huffed. Lilly stopped, landing on her feet softly. Pikachu staggered up to her, panting. Lilly smiled and picked up her Pokemon.

"Now we need to find my stuff..." Lilly murmured, looking around.

[RocketMeowth]

OOC: Oops. Sorry about that. lol

IC:

Red Fury jumped off Katt's back. It felt awkward now that his legs had re-gained feeling. However it wasn't as awkward as being around other humans. The only experience he'd had with humans was when he was being altered in the laboratory. The white coats, bright shinning glasses, cold tables... it made him kringe. Even though Katt knew these people, Red Fury wasn't about to let them near him. He hated all people, even if they were like him.

It was then that his sister's image flashed in his mind. Her beautiful tan fur and bright red eyes sang to him as her warm heart pierced through his cold and twisted one. She danced around his head showing off the side of her that made them close. Her soothing mews of assurance placed Red Fury in a state of mind that he hadn't seen in years. A state where he felt like a kitten again. A state where he felt protected and loved by the family that he no longer had. This feeling was most likely never going to come back, so he cherished every second of its entirety.

His eyes were closed, head lifted, and a smile grasped his face as the moment continued. It was truly a strange sight for others because it was a total mood swing. A dark and dreary Meowth suddenly smiling and acting as if he were sitting on hill top, feeling the warm breeze as it corressed his fur.

The only reason this was happening was because of Katt. The way she spoke to the trainer was like how Callie would talk. It was soothing, promising, reassuring, even heart warming. But he knew that she wasn't really Callie, and with that the state of mind he'd been praying for left. He returned back into reality with only Callie's mews of courage echoing in his tampered head. He turned over to Katt and the others, his happiness now once more shoved behind a door.

"Callie..." he whispered under his breath.

=^^= Nya

[Swinub]

OOC:

Hello, all. B) I'm a new member here...

Am I still allowedo join?

[Winter_Cherry]

Faust and Seth

Seth gave Red a worried look, "Are you sure? Who's Callie?" he asked gently, then twitching his ears and turning to Katt and Hikaru "My name is Seth, and the ninetales who seems so popular over there is Kit." he told them, then turned back to Red, wondering if the meowth-like pokemon was even sane. Faust smiled, an odd and creepy-looking out-of place thing for her "My name is Faust and the big luxray is Shenzii, he's mine." she told Katt with a smile. Shenzii padded back over to Faust, then towards Katt and gave a little friendly growl "Nice to meet you." he said. Kit looked up calmly from the vulpix and towards Katt herself and nodded "As Shenzii said, it's nice to meet you." she told the umbreon.

[Lastwyvern]

The second hinge melted away to slag as Pyre blew it away from the door to keep it from re- solidifying there. Then Pyre started melting the chains on Rains arms and legs. The slag burned him, but surprisingly, the fur did not burn away. It still hurt a little, though. "okay, there's no need for the last one. i'm going to have to hide you in your pokeball again, incase someone walks by..."
The bright red flash engulfed the Growlithe, and it was gone. Hiding the ball once more in his sweater pocket, he stepped to the back of the room. *I'll only get one shot at this. If they hear this before i can run, i'm stuck in a room again.
He ran straight at the door, electricity charging through him. hitting the door with his shoulders to avoid a concussion, it bent away, and he skidded across the hall to the other side of the wall. He was panting heavily, but something was wrong here. Why was he standing on all fours? He stood back up, avoiding having to think about it.
"Boy, it sure is lonely here, I wonder if there's anyone else who got out...

( Occ. Can i be heading for someone, because i'm getting bored of rping with myself :susp: )

[Entei_3000]

OOC: I'll have Lilly head for you.

IC:
Katt looked at Red with a confused expression.

"You alright?" She asked, smiling a little, it was nice to see him smile, she hadn't seen that from him yet.

Katt looked at the others. She smiled at Seth, Faust, Shenzii, and Kit.

"It's nice to meet you all," She said cheerfully, twitching her ears, unconsciously switcing her fur color, she only noticed it changing at about the seventh twitch. She stopped, her fur the usual black and yellow. She looked at Hikaru again.

"I saw Krystal, and Glaceon," She said, "Krystal got me out of my cell, and the muzzle off." Katt shook her head in disgust at the mere thought of a muzzle. "You think they have muzzle for humans?" She asked. "'Cause I know of a few who need 'em."

Katt wasn't sure where this attitude was coming from. It was only natural, anyways. They'd locked her up for two years with a muzzle.

~~~

Lilly halted.

"What was that?!" She asked frantically. Pikachu shivered in her arms.

No idea. He said. I'd really rather not find out. Lilly flew forward quickly, she turned the corner and nearly crashed into a young boy. She tried to land, but stumbled and fell.

"Sorry," She said. "Didn't see you there. I hope I ddin't hurt you?" She looked up. Pikachu was clinging to Lilly's arm for dear life. The boy looked almost like a Jolteon. At first glance, Lilly thought he was an oversized Jolteon.

[Lastwyvern]

Occ. Thanks entei

Rain stumbled and fell over on his back. He certainly didn't expect to run into anyone... The girl who bumped into him was clearly about to run off, screaming, and he didn't see why she shouldn't. "i-i'm sorry! Rain blushed a little. Her wings were distracting him. "I didn't mean to... I- i mean," He gave up on talking after a lot of stuttering. He half-heartedly joked. "N-no, you didn't hurt me, but i think i caused some head t-trauma in your Pikachu." Pyre was right, people WILL gawk at him like he had a third eye. He hoped he didn't have a third eye.
Rain blinked. "So, you're not going to start hitting me or driving a steak through my chest, right?"

[Winter_Cherry]

Faust and Seth

Faust laughed "I agree with that! There are also several I'd like to knock flat and then thank them for the extra strength I wound up with." she said with another scary smile. Shenzii gave a rough barking sound that some might have classified as the laugh it was "She's right, and I'd just like to know where they took Diva. If they hurt her at all, I'll--" he stopped and sparks crackled along his fur, just thinking about Diva being hurt was getting him angry. Faust payed the sparks no mind and walked up to him, placing a hand on his head "I know, I want Diva and Joy back just as miuch as you do." she sighed.


OOC: Will we be finding our other pokemon later?

[Entei_3000]

No, I'm alright. Pikachu said shakily. Lily smiled and patted Pikachu's head. She stood up and and walked over to him, holding out a hand.

"Nah," She smiled, "I don't do that. I'm an experiment like you." Her english accent made her sound more friendly.

~~~

Katt yipped in agreement with Faust about the scientists, she looked at Hikaru once again. She just couldn't get over the fact that she'd finally found him. She looked at Espeon.

"How'd you two fare for the last two years?" She asked, wagging her tail.

[Lastwyvern]

Rain grabbed her hand and pulled himself up. His sweater hung back, and reared up like an elastic when he straightened his back. "I hate this fur, it's chaffing against my sweater..." It couldn't be helped, he supposed. So, what's your name, anyways? mine's Rain... Rain Deau." He asked, sounding a little bit more confident.

Pyre's ears pricked. He could hear Rain talking vaguely from inside his pokeball. "I bet that guy doesn't even know we can here him from inside these. He was smirking mischievously.

[Entei_3000]

"Lilly," The teen smiled, "Lilly Hearting."

I'm Pikachu. The Electric type raised his paw in greeting. Lilly smiled at Rain's comment about his fur.

"I'm sure you'll get used to it," She said. "I have to put up with these." Lilly flared out her wings a little, then pointed to the Poochyena ears on her head. "These don't make it any easier, either."

Doesn't help your hearing much, though. Pikachu snickered.

"Pikachu," Lilly turned her head to look at her Pokemon. Pikachu shrugged and climbed onto her shoulder.

[Enkaku_Kumori]

Chibi

Hmph, "little one"? Vyala thought to herself as Ninetales politely introduced herself. Not bloodly likely! "I'm Vyala," she said kindly, pricking her ears up at an unexpected noise. "Did you hear that?" she asked Chibi.

"The hissing?" Chibi replied, looking around her as well.

"Exactly."

Vyala then forgot about Kit, and worried about finding out where that sound came from. It had been a soft hiss, but long and drawn out. It sounded familiar...maybe she had heard it somewhere before? "Did you hear that?" she asked anyone else, then remembering only Chibi could understand her.

[Lastwyvern]

"my ears don't help much either, they're just there. Rain sighed. He stared blankly for a few seconds, not knowing what to do. His eyes wandered around and he saw Lillys pikachu. *i guess it's okay to let him out* Rain grabbed for his sweater pocket and held out a pokeball. Pyre came out from the red flash and looked around, confused. "I thought you said--" His eyes fixated on Lilly and her pikachu. This was happening to many people. And looking at the number of steel doors around them, he felt so much smaller than he usually felt. "I really dont like this..." Pyre felt vulnerable and squished in. there was no wind, no sounds other than their voices-- the air was dead.
"Okay, so anyways, this is Pyre... my Growlithe." Rain tried to walk foreward, but he wobbled to the side instead, and slammed into the wall. "Whoops... I hope i get used to it soon, my head feels so heavy with these things!" Rain smiled and got his balance again.

[Entei_3000]

"Tell me about it," Lilly laughed. She looked around. "Well, think we should find a way outta here?"

We might want to do it fast. Pikachu said. The scientists will find out what's goin' on soon enough.

"Yeah," Lilly nodded, tucking her wings behind her.

[Lastwyvern]

"Nah, i don't think they'll notice a door half-bent outwards with melted hinges" Rain murmured sarcastically. He walked forward in a steady pace, with Pyre tagging along behind him. Why did this happen to them? How did this end up like this... A few lengths ahead, there was a turn. but that was still a while away. But it's nice to know this hall ends. Rain heard muffled yells from the cell doors adjacent to him. If they didn't get out of here though, they wouldn't have a chance to save the rest of them...

Hello, all. B) I'm a new member here...

We should be running into our other Pokemon (and our stuff) later, yeah. Just depends on when we all get moving.

IC: Hikaru & Espeon

Hikaru merely blinked in response to the Meowth's actions. He certainly wasn't like the other experiments he'd met so far... But then again, it was quite obvious some sort of tragic event had happened in his life; the emotions of such could clearly be seen in his eyes most of the time.

Seth, Faust and their Pokemon had introduced themselves to Katt by now, and a somewhat short discussion had arisen about the scientists. Hikaru smiled slightly at the remarks made; he felt the same way himself, even though he was normally a calm and collected person. They'd all done too much to slip by with this time...

However, the one thing in what was said that Hikaru was caught on was Katt's statement of seeing Krystal and Glaceon. That meant that they'd been captured as well.. but how long had they been here...? And what had the scientists done to them?

"How'd you two fare for the last two years?" Hikaru looked back down to Katt as she spoke again, beginning to wag her tail.

"Miserably," he responded with a small laugh, "After all of this time in here, I really wouldn't hesitate to give those good for nothing scientists a good beating."

"Agreed," Espeon chimed in. She shifted slightly then, her attention going to Vyala then as she said something. She hadn't quite caught it, but by the look on both her and Chibi's faces, it was obvious either something was wrong, or they'd heard something. Or both.

"What is it?"

OoC: Sorry about the suckish post; catching up isn't my best skill. xD;

[Lastwyvern]

OcC: Should something exciting happen before then? like getting found out and chased by the scientists?

[Winter_Cherry]

Faust and Seth

Faust smiled "I was an expierament at Magma's research facility most of my life--Seth here, too. I actually got my hands on a few back there, but then again, they weren't the brightest colors in the crayon box. Started a few cell fights,too. Those were always fun... Though I hated the way I wound up, telekinetic, telepathic, extra strength and this." she sighed, brushing dack her bangs from her face, revealing a bright red eye that was as heavily underlined as the other eye. Seth twitched his ears again "They called it her devil's eye back then, but it's merely a cosmetic change from all the gardevoir DNA they stuck in her system. Certainly not the nicest person in the world, but she's only nasty towards the people she dislikes." he said calmly. Kit watched Vyala and pricked her ears "What Vyala?" she asked softly.

[All Hope Is Gone]

"I can't believe I have'nt found any other expiriments," exclaimed Slash walking down the hallway. Then Slash walked up to a red box."What is this," thought Slash poking the box. Beep Beep. Then a number appeared :16 :15 :14. "I think that I shuld'nt have poked the box. :9 :8."Oh it's a bomb," exlaimed Slash running away from the bomb. :2 :1 BOOOOOOOOOOOM. After the smoke cleared Slash saw that he was right it wasn't a big bomb."Wow, that was fun." exclaimed Slash

[Silvyre]

OOC: I'm not sure where exactly everyone else is in the quarantined building xD But I'll start from Ceth's cell. EDIT: Shoot, terribly sorry for the massive post o_o

IC:
Ceth Rose awoke by opening his eyes, not in surprise or shock, but with weariness and depression. He was tired of spending days and nights laying in an ugly white room without the rest of his friends. He had initially suffered from shock when he was, quite suddenly and forcefully, taken away from his father and his hometown. While he didn't remember anything at all after he was taken, he remembered waking up the first day with his head pounding and his throat throbbing and stitches in three different places on his body. To this day, he hadn't figured out what had happened. All he knew was that Luxio, one of his four Pokemon and best friends, was by his side, suffering with him.

Ceth had also figured out that he could understand Luxio perfectly clearly. But of anything else, he knew nothing. Nothing at all.
And that's what irritated him to the point where he did nothing but sit around and worry for himself, his father back at home, and the rest of his team.

Tiredly, his eyes gazed at Luxio, who lay on the hard, cement floor. He tried to speak, but he couldn't say anything. Luxio hummed softly, and said to him without scorn, At least you have a bed.
Ceth frowned deeply and his teeth ground together. It was all true. Out of the two suffering in this prison, Luxio was clearly worse off than his trainer. As Ceth thought about the fact, he became furious, and without warning he pounded the wall to his side.

To his and Luxio's surprise, a massive dent was left in the cement wall.

Huh, I didn't know you were that strong. Luxio growled and his ears pricked up. You should try that again.
"Of course not. The guards will hear me," Ceth replied quietly, still surprised.
Maybe that's what we need, for the guards to come down here. Then you can put a dent in their face like you did to that wall. Ceth couldn't help but chuckle, and Luxio waved his tail. The Pokemon stood and shook off its body, sending a few sparks flying into the air.

When Ceth's gaze randomly met one of those sparks, it was sent flying back into the opposite wall, as if pushed to by an unknown force. The collision of the spark and the wall made Luxio swivel his head in alert.
Seriously, what's going on? Did you do that too?
"I...I'm not sure." Ceth looked down at his hands stupidly, as if they were going to explain something. "I think so."
Maybe they did affect you... Luxio stared into Ceth's eyes. Maybe you do have some kinda powers, or something.
Ceth, this time, did not doubt his friend.

He stood up from his bed and approached the simple, but seemingly unmovable bars that stood mockingly in front of him. Ceth cocked his head, still wondering if he could do the same thing that he did with the sparks. He took a deep breath, and focused his stare at the middle of the bars.
Surprisingly, in a matter of seconds, the bars were crunched to the side as if they were paper. A gaping hole now stood before them. Ceth, now grinning, turned around to look at Luxio.

See? the Pokemon said, flicking his tail happily. You're a psychic freak, just like I thought.

[Entei_3000]

Oh, no, 'course not. Pikachu smiled. They'll never notice that.

"Very funny," Lilly smiled, too. "I've gotta find my stuff. Where d'you think they'd put it?"

~~~

"Same here," Katt nodded, she looked at the others. "So, now what? Should find a way outta here? Or find the other experiments?"

[Lastwyvern]

"They took your stuff? how come i still have my normal clothes then? They didn't take anything other than my pokemon... Rain bobbed his head towards Pyre's direction. " 'cept for him" Maybe it was too much work or something, but it's not like they could have worn rubber suits or anything. But then again, taking his clothes would be a perverted thing to do. Why were Lilly's things taken though?
The corridor forked off into two more paths, both seeming never-ending as well. "Well, if they took our pokemon, i'm sure they would try to hide them as far away from us as possible, including the rest of the stuff" Rain guessed.
"Maybe they're off giving everything to orphanages or something, or using them as make-shift trampolines for saving kittens on top of trees or something. Maybe there's a good side to these perverts." Pyre mused. "Pfft, as if" he spat. Rain smiled. Was this what he talked like when he couldn't understand him?

((Strange detail I missed at the beginning.))

[Silvyre]

Luxio bounded out of the cell with joy, Ceth close behind. As they quietly slipped away down the hall, Ceth looked back at his room - the unsightly white walls, the cot, and the ripped up pieces (thanks to Luxio) of the number, 37, that once was pinned to him. It was, once, a symbol of Ceth's confinement to the cell.
He turned away and left it all behind, quite unsure of what to do next.

There are so many other smells down here... Luxio lifted his head and sniffed. People and Pokemon.

OOC: Sorry I have to cut it short, I have to leave for the weekend =/

[Grsspkmnmaster]

Pain ... intense pain ... as if my head was being frozen and meled at the same time ...

I slippe din and out of conscious, my emerald green eyes focusing more and more on the bare steel walled room around me. Ther wasn't much to focus on , granted, and the door was showing me a distant view of more scientists running test on me through the electro-nodes implanted on multiple points on my body. I had been relieved of my white uniform shirt, with the number 1122 on it. However, my bare skin was being tested to the limits. Right now they were running an increasnig amount of electric current throung parts of my body. As the amps increased, I felt the energy surge through my body, sending my crippling and bending over as if by the force of an invisible hand. I blacked out again, the thrid time today.

Dang ... again?

I re-awoke to find the cell empty, and the remainng pools of water being flushed out of the cell. I woke up, shook my head of the remaining confusion, and got very mad, very fast. I sprinted towards the cell door, made of sterile plexiglass, and started pounding on it with increasing force and ferocity. I smirked inwardly as the sudden noise level brought the attention of my captors, who were nervous at first, probably wondering if this monster would get out. However, they grinned and started laughing after a few minutes passed, and I stopped before I smashed my own hands into pulp.

Not today ... just like the day before, and the day before, and the day before ... I'll never get out of here. I slumped into the corner, and slept for sheer exhaustion, keeping in my mind the small pokeball kept in my pants pocket. Someday we'll get out of here, Aeris ...

[Entei_3000]

"They took my backpack and my other Pokemon," Lilly answered. "They had sense enough to realize that trying to put on different clothing with these wings wouldn't exactly be a walk in the park."

And with her attitude, it'd be like trying to walk through an open fire barefoot. Pikachu added. She could've taken them down, easy.

"Maybe," Lily looked at her Pokemon. "If it weren't for that shock gun they had. They've used it on me once, I do not want to go through that again." Lilly bit her lip at the sheer memory of it.

[Winter_Cherry]

Faust and Seth

Shenzii looked up at Faust at the same time her gaze drifted to him "Diva..." he murmured softly, he was lost without the pink riolu near his side, he'd watched over her since her tampered-with egg had hatched for Faust when he had been a shinx, Diva was like his own child to him. The scientists had taken her and Joy, he was going to get them back. "And Joy. It hurts to imagine them without us, they're both still so young." Faust added, shenzii growled in agreement and sparks crackled along his coat again as his anger built up. This time he let out another growl and it was purely menacing "We're getting them back no matter what." he said darkly. Faust turned to Hikaru then, her face showed determination--her mind was already made up. "We've made up our minds, all we want to do right now is find the two younger member of our party--my pokemon." she said calmly. Seth turned to look at the older girl and he sighed "Where Faust goes, I go. I don't wanna be separated from her again." he replied.

IC: CHOPPER
Chopper flew at an electivire from an scientist and cutted of its tail with an night slash. The electivire shouted it out from the pain, and threw an thunderpunch at chopper, which hit and slammed chopper to the ground.

"Aaargh!...now your getting an ticket to hell!" the ogre darner scolded at the electivire, and flew back up, launching of an psycho cut with his blade."Wow, never expected to do that! Let try it out..." The now happy bug slashed with his blade being pink, and launched an psycho cut at an machamp, who fell down.

"Its super effective! hahaha!" chopper told himself, laughing from joy.

PICOLLO
"That meowth...heh...hopefully he calmed down now...or else, he would be killed already..." Picollo thought in himself, while he flew through the walls.

"so, this is the place to go out?t? well then,hen,n" Picollo told himself, filling him with courage."...............................wait, what am i doing? im not going away by myself! what are im going to do when im out? i got nobody to play with! so, lets search others!" picollo knew his voice didn't echoed, and that was strange.

Derek

I sat in my corner as soon as I awoke, and heard noises coming from the steel grate a few meters above my head. I head sounds of battle, screams of agony, and yet ... in the mix there were hints of joy, and hopes of lost people reunited to one-another ... The brainiacs never throw parties ... could there be some experiments who have escaped? I continued wondernig as I stood up, reached with my right hand to scratch the back of my neck, tired. I looked at my hand, being tinted a dep shade of red. Not from blood, or by pain. By science. Yes, there was quite a story, as emorable as my tail sticvking 3 feet out behind me, and the mushroom-like cap on my head. I shook my head, releasing a few spores in the air, which were immediately sucked into the grate above me. I was a Breloom-Hybrid, and there was nothing I could do about it.

I took a deep breath and sighed. I looked over through the window of my prison again, the plexiglass observing window which separated me from humankind, and stared as the scientists were bringing in new lab equipment. One machine had a Voltorb connected to it, and seemed to be measuring the Voltorb's brain activity as it responded to certain stimuli. One scientist prodded it with a stick. The lines on the machine wavered slightly as the ball pokemon turned on its axis. Another told a nearby Rhydon to give it a nice punch. The Voltorb spun again, the lines on the chart becmoing more agitated and out of control. This time, the Rhydon threw a Rock Blast and followed up with an Iron Tail attack. The Voltorb began releasing electricity like there was no tomorrow. Spark after lethal spark flew threw wires, and the machines around the room powered to life. Ironic. They needed freaks to sponsor the freakshow.

I looked away as the Rydon used a vicious Skull Bash to knock the Voltorb into unconsciousness. I heard the sickening thud and the rolling sound of the voltorb being rolled away. I was just as indespensible. I came back to the present when the Rhydon, apparently not tired f mocking the unfortunate, began to climb into the room through the one way door on the left side. It spoke with a gravelly voice, "Now I guess we'll see how well a pipsqueak like you can fight against a real pokemon like me."

[Lastwyvern]

(OcC. No no, long is good. You don't have to be sorry for good posts :P)

A shock gun? Rain remembered getting shot by something like that when he was trying to break free from his binds on the way to his cell, but it backfired. He absorbed the electricity and began to overflow with it, so subconsciously he sent it back through the gun and knocked out the other guy. It was after that when they tried the sedative, which worked nicely.
Rain shook the idea off. Any more than one, and he would be properly knocked out, probably for a much longer time than he should.

It felt like hours when only minutes passed, door after door. "Do you think they would be stupid enough to stuff everything in one huge storage? Considering there were no guards at all, he couldn't put it past them.

[Entei_3000]

"They might have," Lilly answered, peeking around a corner, then walking on. "They prob'ly wouldn't expect us to break out."

If we could get everyone out, they wouldn't stand a chance against us. Pikachu remarked.

"Probably not," Lilly smiled. "We should look for other experiments. Joining up with them will give everyone a better chance of getting out of here alive."

[Lastwyvern]

"Yeah, alive and in one peice would be best..."
Rain turned his head around to check for anyone. "More peo-- experiments are easier to find though"
Rain stumbled on the word "people". Technically they weren't quite "people" right now... "Pyre, do you smell anyone up ahead?" Rain questioned.
"I already checked you dolt, there's nobody. If there was, i would have told you by now!" It was back to square one with getting friendly with him again.

[Entei_3000]

Pikachu looked at Pyre in surprise. He jumped down and walked beside him.

You should show a little more respect to your trainer than that. Pikachu whispered. I understand that we're all scared, nerves can get rubbed the wrong way, and stuff like that. But if he hadn't hidden you from the scientists, goodness knows what'd happen then.

"Pikachu," Lilly said warningly. Pikachu's ears drooped as he huried back up Lilly's shoulder.

[TeirusuFX]

In a lonely room, sat Kuro and his Darkrai spirit. He longed to escape from this room but didn't want to use his Blaziken too much because he might need it for more important stuff. So began his search around the room.

It wasn't an ordinary room however, it was all white. He started to look around, he found a crowbar, a camera, a power cord, and a USB connector. He used the power cord on the DVD player, attached the USB connector to the camera, and used the crowbar to lower the projection screen. Taped to the projection screen was a key. He tried to use it on the door, but it didn't work. He found a drawer where the key was supposed to be, he opened it, and he found a journal. It turns out other people before him have been stuck here...and at the end, there was a bunch of random letters, 'FAEBDC'. On that dawer was a computer. He attached the other end of the USB to the computer. It required a password...Kuro thought long and hard about this. He thought, "Maybe this letter code has to do something with the pasword..." So he typed the letters in the computer, and out came an incorrect password message. He thought again, "Maybe it has to do with the position in the alphabet that these letters are in..." So he typed in '615243' and it worked. It said that the camera was ready. He guessed what to do next, he removed the camera and turned on the DVD player. The projection that came out was some random field, and there were random cavemen, Milktanks, and Santa Claus running everywhere. He decided to use the camera to take pictures of the most outlandish things in the picture, so he took 3 good pictures of Santa Claus and reattached the USB to the computer. Each of his pictures gained 50 points, and he noticed that a slot opened, it contained 100P. He was famished, so he used it on this random soda machine that was in the room. He got a blue can of Energy Z and drank it. As soon as he did, he noticed a tiny hole near a table. He found a paper clip and poked in the hole. As soon as he did, a random machine in the shape of a hand came out, it was in an arm wrestling position. Kuro then used the power he gained from the soda and defeated the hand. The item that came out below the hand was a DVD. He then took out the other DVD, and replaced it with this one. He removed the USB from the computer, and turned on the DVD. It showed the exact same thing, except this time, random UFOs came out of nowhere, he decided to takes picture of those. But before he did, he noticed that when something was abducted, the UFO changed color, so he decided to monitor the screen until the highest color showed. It eventually did, the magic color was red. So he took 3 great pictures of three different red UFOs, then reattached the USB in the computer, he gained 500 points for each picture, and the slot opened again to reveal 1000P. He used it on the soda machine and got the red Energy Z drink this time. He felt so much power, he felt that he could break the door. He tried it and the door fell with a thud.

Now what does he do now that he has escaped the room?

Kuro escaped from that room...only to find that he's stuck in another room. "How many rooms must I suffer before I escape?!?" he thought with displeasure.

This room was all crimson this time. He searched for items like he did before. He found a small ring under an ashtray, looked under the drawer to find a casette tape, look in the two drawers that weren't locked to find a power cord and a piece of paper with writing. He disregarded what was in the writing before hand and continued searching. He used the power cord to plug in the CD boombox, and he opened up the case to find a small silver key. He knew this key wasn't the key to the door, and he found what it was for. He opened the drawer and found two batteries. He then searched another area and saw a bed, stuck in between the bed was a small white plastic stick. He then went to the curtains and noticed that something was stuck there. He thought this might be a great time to train his wings. He tried to summon his might on his back to attempt to fly but that was no good. He then thought, "If I used my Darkrai powers by accident, I might need to something that I would expect to do in order to fly." So he thought of normal everyday things that he does that might contact his ability. Then he just got the thing. He did what he thought might work, and it did, he started to fly. He was pretty excited when he lifted off the ground, because all he had to do was become emotionally stable. As soon as he obtained the item on stuck on the curtains, which happen to be a large ring, he became so overly excited, that he stopped flying and fell to the ground. Hopefully he'll find way to fly by easier terms in the future. He looked under the bed to find a golden key. He tried it on th door, but it still didn't work. He found where the key was supossed be and opened the other drawer to find a box. On the box was 3 empty hole, 2 circular holes, and 1 long rectangular hole. He guess that the to sized rings and that plastic stcik belonged there so he palced it there and it opened. Inside was two more holes, one to put batteries in and one to place a casette in. He placed the two batteries and the casette and found an on button and pushed it. He watch the projection on the crimson only to find a scene with a random guy dancing. Near the end, the guy was pointing to a specific area, and Kuro became suspicious. He looked at the point the guy pointed at and he poked it three times, it revealed a hidden safe, and he had no idea what the combination was. He started to panic and run around in circles. When he did, the piece of paper he found slipped out. Kuro then grabbed the paper and read it. 'BeHiNd ThE sOdA mAcHiNe' it said. So he went back to the white room and found the four numbers he was looking for...'1993'. He used those number on the safe and it was unlocked. When he opened it, something activated and a small flame emerged from nowhere inside the safe. He doesn't know where to get water, because he doesn't have anymore money for the soda machine. He wanted water so badly, that he noticed that his hands were wet and moist. He thought for a while, and in his mind, attempt to summon water. He then made a slashing movement towards the fire and the fire was extinguished. Behind the fire was a screwdriver. He noticed the the size of the end of the screwdriver matched the size of the screws on the doorknob. So he tooks out the screws and opened the door.

Will he trapped in another room? Will he ever learn to fly properly? Will he ever get out of this place? Will he ever need his Blaziken for assistance?

"I think you'll be surprised." Rhydon lowered his head and charged straight at me, shaking the whole room. I had been so momentarily frightened by the 265 lb. hunk of rock charging right at me, that I had allowed the Rhydon to hit me straight in the chest, slamming me against the cold white sheet rock walls of the room. I stood up, all the wind knocked over me, just to loook up at a rocky fist coming straight down at me. I made a fist, and quicker than the blink of an eye, met the Rhydon's punch with equal force, so that we were both pushing in order to keep the other from overpowering ourselves. I managed to stand up, pulled back another red fist, and slammed the red blur into the Rhydon's lower jaw, sending it back a few feet. It screamed in fury, and prepared an Iron Tail attack. I jumped over the conrete-smashing appendage, but failed to dodge the Headbutt which followed. I got slammed into the plexiglass, which made the loudest quiet noise that I had ever heard.

"Really? Then it is more than just us," Ceth murmured, inspecting the hallway that he and Luxio walked through. It was just as horribly white as the cell, and in fact, everything in the building seemed exactly the same. Clearly, no one cared about whatever was to be in this building...

Luxio led the way, moving quickly. He found no scent of guards or any kind of security, but of other humans and even other Pokemon. Ceth, there are many people here. But their scents are unusual. It seems...
At about that time, Ceth and Luxio rounded the corner of the bleak hallway. To their right was a massive room that seemed to have been abandoned. To their left, another hallway filled with prison cells. Every single cell had been broken out of.

Luxio stopped short, his nose and ears twitching. He growled viciously, causing more sparks to fly from his electrified coat. As Ceth stepped forward, Luxio, without warning, let loose a Thunderbolt that stretched down the corridor at their left. At about that moment, Ceth clearly heard the cries of some massive creature - a Pokemon, no doubt - and the thud of a body crashing into a wall of some sort.

A Rhydon, Luxio growled. And...something else I can't quite get. It's a human, but not really... His nose twitched with confusion. But no guards.
Ceth looked behind himself to be sure they were alone, and called, "Hello? Is anyone down there?"

Well, you're on the right track. It seems you want to find me, and you're ehading ni the right direction.

Do we have a Ds thread? We need to talk about this kind of stuff there so we don't get locked.

Kuro left the crimson colored room to end up in another room, but this room was viridian colored and empty, and the door had no keyhole. This was sure to be on of the hardest rooms to escape from. Or that's what he thought.

Since there was nothing to do, he started by twisting the doorknob, and it was already unlocked. He had a feeling that this would be the last room he had to deal with, but he also had the feeling this was too easy, and he was right. The guards that were surrounding the door from the outside heard the doorknob turn, and sent out their Pokemon to prepare for resistance. Before Kuro had the urge to open the door, Darkrai halted him. "I sense a danger beyond this door, allow me to take over and they'll be dealt with quickly." Kuro responded by saying, "Are you sure Kyo? Remember you can only do this once every 12 hours." "Yes, I'm completely sure, I don't think you'll need my asisstance any further after this, because I don't feel any other guards coming this way, they must be confident," Kyo said with pride. "Very well, you can take over." So Kuro let go of all his feelings to switch places with Kyo. Kuro's right arm, and right eye turned red, and his skin color turned completey black. A dark aura emerged on him and he began to float. When Kuro's body was completely taken over, he told Kyo as the spirit that follows him, "Do your worst Kyo." "With pleasure!"

Kyo broke down the door. As soon as he did, every guard commanded their Pokemon to use their best attacks. But as the attacks touched Kyo's aura, the aura absorbed their power. "Keep it at him boys," one of the guards said, "That aura of his won't last forever!" "Oh, but it can take enough to tire out you Pokemon," Kyo said with manevolence, and he was right, soon their Pokemon was too tired to attack any longer. "NOW FACE MY POWER!" The dark aura began to grow bigger, and soon enough, the aura had red piercing eyes and a demonic smile that looked like it was ready to attack. The aura then went in front of Kyo, and created a giant Shadow Ball that seemed at the moment to be inavoidable. The aura thrusted the Shadow Ball to the ground, but instead of an explosion, the ground became a huge Dark Void. "No! Please! Have mercy!" one of the guards shouted. Kyo laughed maniacally, "You had your chance to run, enjoy your nice painful sleep!" Once the void and the demonic aura disappeared, everyone that inhabited the hall was sleeping. "My job is done, you may take control." Kuro felt his body become solid again, his right eye became blue again, and his skin was pale again. He felt his feet touch the ground. "Come on, we don't have time to waste, it's a matter of time before they send more people." "Right you are, let's get moving!"

As he advanced through the hallways he noticed that these hallways were kind of like a maze. Will be able to escape from this facility?

Pyre looked at Pikachu as he hopped back onto Lilly's shoulder. If Rain hadn't kept him a secret, he would be trapped. Heck, its not like they aren't trapped right now! As long as they were inside this massive building, they were trapped. "What would happen to me is that I would have everything over with earlier..." Pyre murmured under his breath. Rain's ears pricked when he heard it. He still didn't say anything, but he started walking a little faster. "Crap, I did something stupid again, didn't I..."

Rain's head was a wreck. The same thing repeated over and over in his head. It was his fault, it was his fault, it was his fault, it was his fault. His fault he was stuck here, his fault this was happening, his fault Pyre was mad. Everything bad related to him was his fault. He felt angry at himself, confused, sad, light-headed, too many emotions to take care of in one body. His vision was blurring more than it usually does, and he felt like the world was falling apart around him. I need my glasses, and a new life...

OoC: Mkay then; I'll try to whip up another catchup post. xD; I might have to close the SUs, yeah... And yes, we do have a ds thread: http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94913

IC: Hikaru and Espeon

Hikaru looked to Faust, Seth and Shenzii as they spoke again. His ears twitched slightly, picking up distant sounds.

"I'll go with you, then. We're still missing a few of our teammates, too, as well as my clothes and the rest of my stuff." he paused for a moment, "I'm not exactly sure whether we'll just slow you down or not, but in a place like this, it's most likely better to travel in twos or threes anyhow, right?" He looked down to Katt and Espeon, "What do you guys think?"

"I agree. But, I believe the real choice of whether or not we 'tag along' is Faust, Seth and Shenzii's." Espeon spoke, looking first at her trainer, then to the three mentioned before. Hikaru nodded in agreement, shifting his gaze back to the three for a moment, then to Katt, and finally to the Meowth still a few paces away. He really felt sorry for him. It was painfully obvious that something had happened to him before.

I wonder if we could get him to come with us...

Krystal and Glaceon

Krystal smiled slightly as Chopper attacked an Electivire, landing some rather impressive hits. Glaceon had lowered back into an attacking stance, and was glaring at a pair of Seviper across the way.

Krystal pointed to the two, calling out a command for her Pokemon, "Ice Beam, Glaceon!" The order was complied to instantly, as the small blue Eeveelution opened her mouth wide, charging up a bright blue beam of icy power and finally shooting it off toward the two.

OoC: Ugh, suckish... But oh well, I guess; at least I made time to post. ^^;

Round and round Kuro went around the hallways, he couldn't find that exit he has been longing for. Eventually, a guard spotted him.

"Halt!" he yelled at Kuro, and sent out his Pokemon, which happened to be a Snover. As Kuro started to run towards the other direction, another guard spotted him, "There's nowhere you can escape!" Kuro was surrounded, he had no choice but to fight head on. Kuro uncovered the Pokeball he kept in his bag, and threw it to release his Blaziken. "Long time no see Kuro, boy do you look different," he said. Kuro was shocked, he had no idea how he was able to understand the words that came out of Blaziken's mouth. He then guessed it was his abnormal DNA which enabled him to understand the speech of Pokemon. "Nice to see you too...Rei," Kuro said still a bit shocked. "You finally name me? Well it's an awsome name I assure you," said Rei the Blaziken. "Enough!" shouted the second guard, and sent out his Pokemon, which was a Vulpix. "You can go ahead and take the Snover, I'll get the Vulpix," Kuro said strategically. "You can battle Pokemon? since when?" Rei asked. "Ever since I got these additional body parts, now let's roll!" "I'd thought you'd never ask!"

The fighting begun. Over at Rei side, with the Snover, Rei started with a Blaze Kick, which missed because the Snover dogded it on time, he rammed toward the Snover, making it look like he was going to prepare a Fire Punch. As the Snover got ready to avoid his attack again, Rei jumped over the Snover and rammed at it from the backside. With this advantage, before Snover could turn it's whole body around, Rei struck a Brave Bird attack right on the Snover's back. It was a definite KO. "Snover return!", the first guard said, "I'll be back for my vegence, you can count on it!" Rei laughed, "Only to get you butt whooped again!" Over at Kuro's side with the Vulpix, he tried to muster up as much water as he could, but before he could attack, the Vulpix used Flamethrower on him. Since Kuro wasn't used to being hit directly from a Pokemon, it hurt a lot, but because of the Vulpix ears and the Latios wings, that gave him some kind of resistance to it. He decided it was time to train the Absol tail he obtained from the experiment. He jumped up to the air and tried to focus his power on his tail. He got some power, but then Kyo thought, "He's not going to do much damage with that kind of attack." So Kyo focused and powered Kuro's tail further with the powers of shadow and darkness. Kuro slammed his tail at the Vulpix, and it did a ton of damage. "I never knew I could do that much power," Kuro said amused with himself. Kyo laughed silently, "You couldn't do that much power, I helped you with that by adding the dark element to your tail attack."Kuro, now less amused, but still happy said, "Well, I guess we can do some duo moves as well, even when your not controling my body, you can still power up my attacks with darkness." "That's a good thing, because that Vulpix is getting back up." He was right, the Vulpix stood up once again, aiming a Flamethrower right at him. Kuro was prepared for this, he started to dash towards the Vulpix, and once the Vulpix released its attack, Kuro backflipped towards the Vulpix and summoned water out of his hands and smashed it right on Vulpix. The Vulpix stirred around for a bit, then fainted. "Vulpix return!" the second was angry at Kuro, "Try me again later when I'm more prepared you freak!" Those words struck at Kuro hard. As soon as those words hit his eardrums, he started to imagine how everyone he knew would laugh at him and call him a bigger freak cause the red arm and eye weren't the only things to laugh at now...especially Luna...the only girl at her school that accepted him for who he was.

"Hello? Is anybody home?" Kuro came back to reality with a start. He stared into the eyes of Rei and asked, "So, do you want to do back to your Pokeball now?" Kuro already knew the answer. "No, I think you might need my assistance during your escape. And my legs need some air too." Of course, Kuro expected that, "Very well, we don't have time to waste, let's get to finding the exit..." "Exit? Ha! Who need's an exit?" Rei charged up his knuckle and slammed it at the wall.

Rei knew all along there was an outside to that wall, and Kuro gazed upon it's beauty. The sun was setting, and the ocean was gleaming with majestic waves, although Kuro just noticed that because water was directly below, and the fact that they couldn't escape through there. "Okay, good job, but have you noticed that there's no land to land on?" "Yeah, I just noticed, so let's get to finding~" "FOUND IT!" Kyo surprised the both of them, but Kuro could see no exit, "Where? I don't see~" "Behind the wall silly" Fei charged up his knuckle again and broke that wall, the exit was sitting plainly in sight. Kuro opened the door because he was so excited to finally get out, but once he did, he wasn't out yet. He saw prison cells lined up, and felt this place's misery. He was crestfallen because of this fact.

But then a random masculine voice came out of nowhere, "Hello? Is anyone down there?" It didn't sound like a guard to him. "It's from up there," Rei pointed out. But Kuro still couldn't see anything. So he shouted back, "Who are you and what do you want?"

Derek

From my position slumped against the plexiglass, I heard two muted voices, both yelling questions of identity. If other people have gotten out, they can help me with this rock monster. I stood back up, shaking, my legs barely agreeing to support my weight. I looked straight at the Rhydon, smirked, and whispered, "You're toast, rock-tard." He roared, and I charged at him, drawing back one arm. I reached him, and jumped up at the last second, landing a clear Sky Uppercut on his jaw. The stone rhinocerous was sent backwards about ten feet, and then punched the groud, unleashing a very small, stablilized Magnitude 3 attack. I felt the rain of dust on my head as the ceiling shook, and yeleld to the oversized pokemon,. "Bring it on!" However, the words had barely come out of my mouth when a small Rock Tomb trabbed my left leg. I pulled in vain as the Rhydon charged at me, likely to become a killing blow. I pulled more frantically, feeling the rocks cut at me leg as I pulled harder and harder.



The Rhydon jumped.




I ducked.

CRASH went the window as it could no longer support the immense weight being thrown upon it. The world seemed to slow down as my prison broke free. I shouted in excitement, "I'M FREE!" I ran off speedily towards a corridor on the left, where I thought I heard the noise of the first caller. I yelled, "Anyone out there?"

Now that I can use my next character...

IC: Luna's Side
Luna awoke with a start, she was in a cardboard box when she woke up. She got out of the box, and saw that she was in a jail cell. "BUT I'VE DONE NOTHING WRONG! IT'S ALL OF THOSE STUPID SCIENTISTS!" she screamed in her head. She also noticed that all her Pokemon were missing and she started to cry. But then she heard the noise of rolling metal. Her Luxury Ball rolled out of the cardboard box, she was lucky that it wasn't confiscated like the rest of her Pokemon. She sent out her Emopleon. "Who are you and what have you done to Luna?" was her first words. "I am Luna! I just have a tail and wings all because of those stupid scientists! I'm so glad they haven't taken you away Nami." "Is that my name now? It could've been better, but I'll take it!" "There's no time to admire your new name, we have to escape!" "Right you are! When I get a hand of those scientists..." Nami broke down the prison door with a Metal Claw. "That's good! Now Nami retu~" She was interrupted before she could finish. "I'm not going back now, you need my help more than ever if you wish to escape," Nami said with dignity. "Very well, but we can't leave just yet, we need to get Kuro out of here too!" "He's here too? Since when?" "Since he was kidnapped, and those mean scientists probably made him abnormal like me too, we have to help him escape too!"

So off they went, searching left and right everywhere for Kuro's whereabouts, but unluckly for them some guards caught up. "I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS!" Luna shouted. And in an instant, metal boxes everywhere floated and flew in between the guards and Luna. She was amazed that this happened. "Wow, did you do that Nami?" she asked. "No, I'm not a Psychic type, maybe it's the Espeon tail and the Latias wings that you have that gave you this power." Then it hit her, she had powers that are as powerful as an everday Psychic type Pokemon. And she guessed by how she moved the metal boxes is the way she can use her powers. As soon as the guards broke the metal barrier, Luna faced them and thought, "Away with you pests!" As soon as that thought hit her, the guards were lifted off their feet and floating in the air. She used her imagination and pushed them back to the wall. "That was pretty awsome." said Nami with jealousy.

As soon as they gone far enough to lose the guards, Luna started asking questions to Nami. Her first question, "How can I understand what you're saying?" "Well, I'm assuming since the scientists messed with your DNA and gave you...those...I think I can safely say that you can understand me because it's literally in your DNA," Nami answered. Next question, "Do you have specific ways to use your attribute's power?" "Not really, all it really takes is a good imagination and a good mental adjustment." Last question, "Do you have any idea on how I can use these wings?" "No idea, now let's go, we might be being followed."

They continuted to run away, but then a exit was found, they reached the exit, opened the door, then slammed it. As soon as they did, they heard, "Anyone out there?" Luna responded, "I'm here! But who are you?"

Faust and Seth

Faust shrugged, "I don't care whether or not you come along, but then again, there are few things I care about at all." she said, Seth looked down at Red, his ears inched downward, coming to a stop as they came to be nearly flat against his head. "Hey, are you okay?" He asked again, wondering if the meowth-like creature was sane at all, his blue eyes were huge and he looked nearly three or four years younger than his actual age now. Kit moved over to him and looked down at Red as well, she quietly wondered what had happened to him, and if he had anyone left wondering about him. Gently, she leaned over and licked his scorched fur, Seth turned to look at her and a silent understanding passed between the two. Faust looked back at Seth, "We going?" she asked him.

OOC: EDIT: Sorry Teirisu, I didn't catch your reply to my post. My fault >.<

Answering his call, two voices vibrated in Ceth's ears. He could hear the sounds, but he couldn't make out the words exactly. They seemed to be too far away. Luxio jumped in surprise, and bared his teeth. Ceth gazed at him blankly. "Who are they?"
I can only smell so much. But it seems like two more of these... hybrids. Luxio paused and waved his tail in confusion. There's so many. I wonder if they are related to you and your freakish psychic powers.
Ceth frowned, unknowing who exactly he was speaking to, and began to speak.

Before a word was uttered from his mouth, Ceth and Luxio heard a crash, and someone come barrelling into sight. The sounds of a massive beast - which Luxio had earlier determined to be a Rhydon - echoed down the hall, hurting Luxio's sensitive ears. Some bangs and crashes had thus resulted, and finally a human - or, a hybrid, as he seemed to be a human with the characteristics of a Breloom - appeared from one of the cells.

"I'm here. My name is Ceth, to everyone who can hear me," he answered coolly. He stared at the being in front of him. "Are you, er... okay?"
Looks like he's been fighting with a Rhydon, Luxio growled. An intense match, no doubt. Human-Breloom versus giant rock mammoth.
Ceth ignored him. "You look pretty beaten up. We can help you find some first-aid or something." Ceth glanced behind his back. "And I haven't seen any guards. Luxio here says he can't scent any around. We should be safe... or, here, at least."

[Lastwyvern]

"What I meant was, even though we're out of our cells, we're still prisoners... we're still as trapped as we were was when we were chained up in our rooms. Pyre didn't feel good explaining it anymore. It made him feel queasy. He wanted out, but there was nowhere to go except forwards.

Rain swiped his arm around to keep Lilly away. "I dont know! I dont know! Stop trying to help me, I'll only... I'll only hurt you!" Rain ran off turning around the bend quickly. He fell down on his arms, but he kept going, four times faster as he was earlier. He had no idea what he was doing, he just knew he had to keep running, and running, and running...

Rain was much too far away from them by now; No sign of anyone. He sat himself in the corner sobbing. Why was he doing this? It was his fault he and his pokemon were trapped in here, if only he could run fast enough, if only he could have gotten away, it was his fault. They got them because of his incompetence. He clutched his necklace in his hands again, hoping for something good to happen for once. "Why mom... why...?" The halls echoed with his sobs in between breaths.

((OcC. A little bit before Rain was caught for you guys. I really need more time for this :oops: ))

[Grsspkmnmaster]

"I'm here. My name is Ceth, to everyone who can hear me," he answered coolly. He stared at the being in front of him. "Are you, er... okay?"
Looks like he's been fighting with a Rhydon, Luxio growled. An intense match, no doubt. Human-Breloom versus giant rock mammoth.
Ceth ignored him. "You look pretty beaten up. We can help you find some first-aid or something." Ceth glanced behind his back. "And I haven't seen any guards. Luxio here says he can't scent any around. We should be safe... or, here, at least."

"Hey, I did my best," I snapped at the Luxio. Sheesh, its not like I know what I'm doing. I looked down at the remark on my need for first aid, almost ready to refuse the help. I looked down at my arms. Covered in purple-ish blue splotches, and my chest had plenty more. I felt my breath as ragged as a Houndoom's cew toy, and the blood was trickling down from my mid-calf, staining my legs with a deep red. I had also scratched my knuckles, but it wasn't noticeable.

"I think some first aid would be good. I just need a roller bandage for my leg... the bruises wil go away on their own. By the way, call me Derek. Who else do I have the unpleasant nature of adressing?" as I looked down at the Luxio, who had made the seemingly snide remark earlier. I then remembered the current plight of my other pokemon. I reached into my pants pocket, and released Aeris, my Fearow. "Aeris, how are you doing?" "Better now that I'm out. You don't look so good though."

[Entei_3000]

Not by much. Pikachu replied. We're out of the cells, and if we can find the others, those scientists won't stand a chance! Then we'll give 'em what they deserve!

"Rain! Come back!" Lilly exclaimed in alarm. Runnign after him, she finally resorted to flying, but turning a sharp corner knicked her wing, but she didn't stop. After a minute she stopped, her sides heaving.

"C'mon, kiddo, where'd you go?" Lilly murmured, twitchign her Poochyena ears. "Pick up somethin', anything!" Lilly flew down the hallway, her fear rising. It wasn't safe to be wandering around alone!

And yet I'm doing it.... Lilly shook her head and turned another corner, her wing just barely missing the wall. But I'm looking for a friend.

~~~

Pikachu noticed that both trainers were gone.

Aw crud. Pikachu rubbed the back of his head. Well this isn't good. We've gotta find 'em.

~~~

Lilly halted in her flight, she landed softly on her feet, tucking her wings behind her. She looked at Rain.

"Hey, hey," Lilly ran toward him and knelt down beside him. "What's wrong? Why'd you run off like that?" Lilly looked at Rain with concern.

[TeirusuFX]

Kuro's Side
Kuro didn't hear any kind of reply, of course, he was on the bottom most floor of the prison, so he assumed that was why. He started to search for stairs, but they were no stairs he could find. He couldn't fly because he didn't know enough about his wings to fly. So one option was only availible then...continue forward. There was a door from across the room and all he had to do was...

"Not so fast." Kuro didn't know who that voice came from, but it most definitly new to him. He turned around, and saw a normal guard, standing there, nothing abnormal to be seen, but something was different about him that made him different from the rest. "You have been free long enough, you should be a good boy and return to you room." Kuro stood there, trying to investigate his body. He continuted until he caught the glare of his eyes...they weren't human, but the blazing glare of a Pokemon. He was most certainly taller than the other guards after he gave it a bit of thought. "I don't think you know who I am, allow me to introduce myself, my name is Zetta, and I am the leader of these worthless guards." "Is that what he calls it?" Kuro whispered to Rei. "It sounds like he has ego mania," Rei whispered back. "STOP IGNORING ME! You haven't seen anything yet!" Zetta took off his officer uniform. Under it, it almost looked like he was a pure anthropomorphic version of a Charizard. He had its ears, wing, tail, arms, claws, legs, feet, and as Kuro already noted, his eyes. "Unilke you, I'm one of the perfected experiments, and I was aloud to roam free, are you scared now?" Zetta said with pure hatred in his voice. Kuro took that as a joke, "No, I can't say that I am. But you seriously need learn how to be less of an ego maniac." "I AM NOT AN EGO MANIAC!" he roared, "YOU BLAZIKEN, BACK OFF, THIS IS A BATTLE BETWEEN ME AND THE BOY!" Rei hesitated, "You can't tell me~" He was cut off by Kuro. "It's alright, I can do my best in this." "But you'll die against him! I certainly won't~" "Hey, if I don't learn how to use my powers, I won't be able to escape, but just in case I'm badly damaged, you may step in at that time." "Fine, go for it then." And then the battle was beginning to heat up...

Luna's Side
Luna didn't hear any kind of reply, of course, she was on the top most floor of the prison, so she assumed that was why. She was looking around her suroundings, and she heard loud noises that sounded like fighting from down below. Since she couldn't use her wings, she didn't want to jump to the bottom most floor. She had a feeling the party has just begun. "Come on, let's get moving." "Right behind you."

"Halt you abomeow." Luna knew that voice anywhere. That preppy voice of a 15 year old popular girl struck her as hard as a hammer. "I'd never thought I'd expect to see you here Lumeow." "Neither did I Rina" Rina, the 15 year old popular prep at her high school, so much pain Luna had from hearing her say the word 'like' 10 times in a sentence. Now, she looks like a pure anthropomorphic Glameow, excluding the eyes. "Well I see you say the word 'meow' as much as you used to say the word 'like'." "It's in my perfected DNA, I see you're one of the failmeow." "Fail shmail, at least I'm not a happy-go-lucky idiot like you are!" Nami broke in, "I think you're going a bit too far..." "Shut it you! You stay out of this meow!" "Hey, you can't talk to one of my smartest Pokemon like that!" "Oh it's on meow!"

Just as the battle was heating up on the bottom floor, bitter rivalry was heating up on the top floor

[Enkaku_Kumori]

Chibi

Chibi paused to look at Faust and Seth for a moment. "We'll go with you," she said simply. "We need to find some friends of ours as well." Even as she said this, her green eyes flicked back and forth, something was not right.

"Something is not right." Vyala stated in an uncanny echo of Chibi's thoughts. She growled deep in her throat, she kept hearing something, yet she had no idea what it was or where it came from. Suddenly, they hear it, a long, loud hiss.

Both trainer and pokemon swore loudly and turned around. Chibi gasped as she saw a gaping mouth with a pair of long, venomous fangs bearing down upon her. She twisted out of the way and the malicious fangs missed her by inches, but she wasn't so lucky as to avoid the purple tail that swung around and smashed into her side. Instantly Chibi found herself wrapped in the embrace of an Arbok. A very pissed Arbok.

"Humansss..." The violet serpent hissed, "you ssshall pay for what you have done to me."

Chibi swore she hear her ribs crack, and the air had been knocked out of her. so she did the only thign she could. She summon fire. The Arbok hissed in pain as the girl sudden combusted and flames swirled around her. The poisonpokemon slithered away quicker than an eyeblink and snarled angrily at her foiled attempt to crush the girl to death.

"Wait a moment!" Vyala cried, leaping between the two. "Chibi did you hear, that Arbok just spoke human! She must be an experiment."

"How dare you!" The Arbok growled reproachfully. "An experiment! Of what?! You humansss have tortured me and warped my very essenssse! You ssshall ssscream a ssseassson before you die!"

Chibi relaxed, well she certainly didn't want this Arbok to continue to be mad at her. She heard of what they could do. "Of course," she said, "these humans have warped us too. I'm sure you've never seen a human with Vulpix ears and six tails? No regular human could have been born like e, the humans you speak of have treated us similarly. We are all after a common goal."

The Arbok stopped hissing and regarded Chibi with a calm, searching gaze. Chibi held her ground and stared right back, refusing to be intimidated by a look. Suddenly the Arbok....smiled? No, it couldn't have, snakes couldn't smile. "Of courssse," it hissed, "I believe you humansss sssay: 'The enemy of my enemy isss my friend.' Unlesss, I do not trussst you."

"Can we trust you?" Vyala piped up bravely.

Once again, the Arbok....smiled? Impossible. "You would be a fool to trussst me completely." It said, slyly, "After all, during my yearsss of captiviy, I have grown quite insssane."

"Hmmm, I like you already." Chibi mused, admiring the Arbok for the fact that it accepted its insanity. "What's you name?"

"Zyrvia," the Arbok hissed proudly.

((Yeah, Zyrvia got bored and explored. Lookit teh new team member.))

[Winter_Cherry]

Faust and Seth

A large wall of translucent black exploded in front of most of the group as Chibi was attacked by the arbok. It suddenly disappeared as soon as the Arbok stopped it's attack and Seth dropped to his knees with a gasp. For a moment he said nothing, just tried to take in as much air as he could, then, "Crap." he mumbled "That took too much energy, ugh." he finished, his body trembling from the amount of energy that had left him. Faust was on the floor next to him in an instant "Seth, Seth? Kid, are you okay? Did that wall...was that you?" she asked in a hurry. Kit looked up sadly at Faust crouching beside Seth cluelessly. Seth sighed "I'll be alright in a minute. And yeah, that was me, I can use darkness to some extent, it...it just takes alot out of me..." he said shakily. Faust nodded, she felt awkward and confused-- she wanted to take Seth in her arms and carry him, shield him like she used to, but how could she fight what she couldn't touch?

[Silvyre]

Luxio waved his tail in amusement. I didn't know i-- he could hear me. Ceth glanced at Luxio, shooting him a look that told the Pokemon he'd thought the same thing. Luxio yawned and bobbed his head, ignoring the disrespectful comment. I have no name. I'm just Luxio.
Ceth chuckled nervously, absent-mindedly ignoring the droned calls he heard from far away. They seemed to be coming from another floor of the immense building. He promptly figured that he would search them out later. "Aha, yep, I don't name my Pokemon," he added to Luxio's answer, rubbing the back of his head. "Nice to meet ya, Derek."

Luxio took a step back and squinted at the sight of Aeris. Are you... contaminated too? He paused to lower his head, his ears still raised with vigilance. Like one of us. Or him, at least, have you seen it? He's mentally insane, literally... The Pokemon playfully went on, describing Ceth's newfound powers to Aeris and Derek.

Ceth gazed at the beautiful Fearow. In its flight, the Pokemon reminded him of Charizard, which made his insides heave and gave him a slight rush of dizziness. He couldn't stand being away from his team for so long. He and Luxio absolutely needed to escape, no matter the cost.

Ceth swallowed and turned his attention to Derek's injuries. Quietly, he said, "If you're not capable of walking, Luxio can carry you. There's a large chamber just down the hall and straight ahead. Might be something there. Let's go."

[Lastwyvern]

"It's my fault my pokemon and I are stuck in here, It's my fault Pyre feels so trapped Rain shut his eyes closed trying to block everything away from him. "I was trying to get some sleep, but I needed some fresh air, so I went outside for a little bit... I heard a rustling in the bushes and a dart came out, it skimmed me and went on to leak its liquid on a rock. Someone shouted at the other guy, and I knew there was more than one, then my mom came out when she heard all the noise..." Rain stopped breathing for a second, remembering what happened. "They shot her with the darts, one in the head... I knew she was dead by then, because she whispered while she went down..." "i'm sorry". "I had to run, I had no idea why they were coming for me, but there were more, they blocked me off at a passage, but surprisingly enough they were really discreet, and shot me right in the back of the neck." Rain turned his head around to the corner. "So it's my fault... If I ran faster, or maybe if I didn't come out at all, none of this would have happened..."

((Occ.Rain's a lot like myself; He sulks for stupid reasons, and he has horrible luck.))

[Entei_3000]

Katt jumped back when the Arbok attacked Chibi, the umbreon snarled out of instict. Her fur only smoothed out again when the Arbok relaxed.

"Sure know how to make an entrance, don't ya?" Katt muttered, shaking herself, trying to get rid of the jumpy feelign that had appeared.

~~~

"It's not your fault at all," Lilly spoke gently. "It could've happened to anyone. You didn't know what was going to happen, no one did." Lilly shifted slightly. "Rain, look at me," Lilly's green eyes watched the younger boy softly. "Don't beat yourself up about something you had no control over. We'll get out of here. We'll find a way back home. We'll be safe, goodness know we might even be able to get rid of fur, feathers, paws, fins, and whatnot."

[TeirusuFX]

Kuro vs. Zetta and Luna vs. Rina...can it get anymore out of hand for those two? We shall see.

Kuro's side
The battle had just begun. Zetta used his wings to encircle Kuro at a fast speed. Kuro knew immediately following his movement with his eyes are exactly what he wanted him to do. So Kuro depended on pure instinct to know what to do. As soon as Zetta knew it wasn't working, he stopped behind Kuro, and charged up a Dragon Claw to make him suffer. Kuro also knew this was going to happen because it one of those 'obvious tactics'. So just before Zetta could land his blow, Kuro did an aerial backflip. While in midair, he chraged up a water attack, but since Zetta knew where he was going to land, he quickly approached the spot and was ready to attack. Too bad for him though, Kuro used the air resistance with his wings and landed a bit further than what Zetta had expected. He used the water he charged and made a water bow and arrow. he aimed it directly at Zetta's wings and shot. Zetta screamed with pain because his wings were hit, and his fast agility has been slowen. Zetta then shot a Flamethrower at Kuro and Kuro jumped again. In midair, he shot 4 more arrows. Zetta evaded the arrows with difficulty. But then Kuro lag shot 1 more arrow aiming at his other wing. Zetta raised his hand up ready to block the arrow, but then Kuro tweaked his imagination a bit and then the arrow turned to ice. The ice stabbed his hand so hard, his hand started to bleed.

"Okay, I give. You're lucky because I'm not familiar with my powers yet!" Zetta ran towards the passage way and disappeared. "You did it! I don't know how, but you did it!" Kuro knew now, that he was starting to learn more and more about the functions of his body. He felt so much emotion come off him, he started flying. "Uhhh, Kuro, you're flying." Kuro just noticed that, he felt so excited that there was other ways to fly, that he gained more emotion. Because of that, he stopped flying and fell to the ground. Kuro got up, "That might be the answer I'm looking for! The way to fly is to rid yourself of negative emotions!" "If that was the answer, then why did you fall down when you we even happier than before," Rei pointed out. "Oh yeah, didn't think about that..." "You still have a long way kiddo," Kyo said. And it was true, even though he might have some stuff down, he still needs to learn more.

They ran towards the open passage. in the room was flights and flights of stairs. "How flights do you think we might need to climb?" "20, 25 tops" "I was looking more in the 50s actually." Wherever they were going to stop, they can't stop until they go, so up the flight of stairs they went...

Luna's Side
Rina surrendered to Luna, and the battle hasn't even started yet! "Sorry, can't fight, broken nail meow. I gotta get back to my room and fix it up meow. Until then meow!"

"..." "...Okay..." "Well, it could've been worse. We could be surrounded by the guards at the moment. Speaking of which, the guards are coming right now!" The guards were ramming towards the door, and Nami slammed it, "We've got to find a way to escape!" Luna searched as hard as she could, then she spotted something, a flight of stairs. "There's stairs over there! Let's go!" They arrived to the staircase, then looked down. The stairs looked endless. "How do we get down fast enough to escape from them?" Luna thought long and hard, then she got it, "Go inside your Pokeball! I'll drop it down the staircase! It's the best way for you to escape the guards!" "And what about you?!?" "...I'm afraid...I'm not fast enough to lose them...and I can't jump to the lower levels because I can't use my wings...we can't hold them off together because they're too many of them...this will be my plan as of now...I'll be captured and you'll escape." "No, I won't!~" "We have no other option as of now, I don't want them to capture both of us. " "But they can just take my Pokeball from the bottom of the stairs!" "I'm sorry, but there's no other way!" "But!~" "NAMI RETURN!" Nami's body disappeared into the Pokeball. "As a friend, I hope someone worthy finds you." Luna drop the Pokeball down the flight of stairs. The guards just broke the door, "THERE SHE IS, LET'S BOOK HER!" They captured Luna and handcuffed her. Then they dragged her away...

OoC: Ugh, really sorry for being so inactive this week, guys. I'm on everyday, but it's kind of hard to read the posts and think of one of my own with a four year old continously talking and asking questions in my ear. xD;

IC: Hikaru and Epseon

Hikaru tensed and jerked around when hearing commotion behind him. All he managed to see was Chibi, wrapped tightly by a highly ticked Arbok, summon fire around herself to break free, and, along with that, a black wall of energy had appeared briefly when the purple snake had attacked. He paid little attention to the conversation that followed, only catching the end of it.

Espeon, who had risen and gotten into a battle stance, relaxed somewhat near her trainer's feet, looking calmly at the larger Pokemon now and asked, "So I assume this means we're partial allies now?"

Hikaru glanced down at her, then Katt, who'd muttered something about the the Arbok, whom had introduced herself as Zyrvia by now. The darkly colored Eeveelution still appeared slightly shaken from the sudden events. Hikaru knelt down and stroked her gently, hoping to be rid of any discomfort. He then looked over to Seth and Faust again. He instantly noticed the younger boy on his knees. From what he'd gathered of their conversation, he had been the one from whom the wall of dark energy had come, but apparently, the power took a lot out of him.

Hikaru's expression shifted to one of concern, "Are you okay?"

[TeirusuFX]

Kuro's Side
*huff huff*

These stairs felt endless, Kuro wasn't the type who could walk 500 miles. They were only on the 37th floor.

"OW!" An item that seemed to be a black colored Pokeball dropped on Kuro's head. He felt dizzy for a while, then knocked into something and dropped all the way to the 36th floor. "KURO, ARE YOU HURT? (What am I saying, of course you are!)" Kuro, being dizzy, said dreamly, "Let's say the numbers of pi! 3.1415~" "SNAP OUT OF IT!"

Kuro came back to reality, and the black Pokeball dropped from the 37th floor right on top of Kuro's chest. "Eh? What's this? A Pokeball? What's inside? POKEBALL GO!" What came out of the Pokeball was Nami, the Empoleon. "KURO! THANK GOODNESS I HAPPENED TO SEE YOU NOW!~" "Eh? Who are you?" "Oh yeah, you probably forgot after you've been stuck here. I'm Nami, my trainer is Luna~" Kuro jumped up and started to spazz. "Luna?!? She's here?!? How did she get here?!?" "She got experimented on and was sent here for being a failed experiment." Kuro felt happy, "So where is she now?" Nami became sad, "Luna gave herself up to the guards and she saved me before they could reach me." Kuro felt like he has been hit with a thor hammer, "Oh...then we have to go save her!" "I wish we could, but now I have no idea where she's been taken, we might have to search the whole area in order to find her..." "Well we can't do it alone...", Rei cut in. "Oh, sorry, I didn't notice you. You are you again?" Nami asked. "I see you're just as forgetful as Kuro here. My name is Rei, Kuro is my trainer." "Oh! Now I remember! Nice to see you again." "Yes, nice to see you too, but now isn't the time."

"We need help investigating this area, I know just the three~" "AHEM!" "~four of us can't do it alone." "Hey there are some people over there! And they're just like you!" Rei exclaimed. Kuro turned around, he saw a few contaminated people in that area, as well as their Pokemon, and an Arbok that seems to be fainted on the floor. Funny, guess he's not the only one in the 'resistance'.

Kuro approached the group, "May I ask what you people are doing?"

[Silvyre]

Just as Ceth slung Derek's arm over his shoulder and had Luxio prop him up on the other side of his body, he heard a loud banging coming from above. As if a heavy object had fallen down a huge distance. Although the crash echoed off the solid white walls, Luxio was not bothered by it, and Ceth calmed himself.

He turned back to Derek's Fearow, Aeris. The bird waited patiently ahead, flapping its majestic wings only slightly to keep it airborne. Luxio snorted and shook his mighty head, causing sparks to fly. Ready? Let's get out of here.

They hastily made their way down the corridor, with Aeris falling behind to protect their backs. Ceth inspected the bland hallways for any first-aid on the walls, or on the doors, or on a table. But to no avail. The inside of the building was just as empty as ever, almost as if all guards - and the "prisoners", too - had suddenly disappeared from existence.

Ceth had found that if he stared at something for too long - say, the bar of an abandoned cell, or the middle of a wall - it would creak noisily and without warning, a gaping hole or a dent would appear out of nowhere. His mental focus brought the demise of the physical structure of any object. At first, it had bothered him, as he thought that he wouldn't be able to control himself and it would get of hand. But after some practice, Ceth felt comfortable with his strange power. He'd realized that it had to do with how he was feeling. It was a mental-emotional connection.

Luxio turned the corner and stopped, lifting his head to scent the huge room. It was like an abandoned laboratory inside the building. Long, human-length tables were everywhere, some thrown to the ground on their sides. In some places the walls had clearly been attacked, probably by the Pokemon - or the hybrids, as Ceth thought, glancing at Derek. Cracks in the cement encased the power of the "experiments" that had been worked on in here.

And suddenly, it occurred to Ceth: had he, too, been in here, and worked on as a lab experiment?

As if reading his mind, Luxio swiveled his head to gaze at his trainer in sympathy. It's certainly familiar, isn't it? When Ceth simply lowered his head, Luxio continued with a hum. Well, I can't say there haven't been people here... there are old scents. But nothing dangerous, I suppose.
"'I suppose'?" Ceth repeated, his voice dripping with scorn and intolerance. "What about Derek? What if there are guards here, and they take us all? Just because you weren't -- "
Relax. Luxio growled sharply, causing his entire body to vibrate. You're too uptight. Where's your sense of humor?
Ceth clenched his teeth together. "I apologize for being tense while we're stuck here, and left to die no doubt, in this damned building."

With that, Ceth turned and walked away briskly. As he stepped into the main room, searching for something among the abandoned lab, a distant alarm sounded. Ceth froze as suddenly, all the guards they'd figured to have left, appeared from all entrances of the laboratory, wielding weapons and pokeballs.
One phrase pulsed in Ceth's head like a heartbeat: "I suppose".

[Winter_Cherry]

Faust and Seth

Seth looked up at Hikaru and nodded, his ears still hanging low against his head and his tail drooping "I-I'll be fine...that was really stupid of me." he said softly. Kit made a humming noise sympathetically, but her attention was mostly on the meowth-like pokemon. Faust sighed and smiled, then moved her arms around Seth, and then her was in her arms. Faust smiled at him as he stared up at her with his wide blue eyes and seemed to be confused at his shift of position "I'm still strong kid, just make sure you give me a little warning before you do something like that again. You scared me." she huffed, trying to look the slightest bit annoyed. Seth nodded simply, he could live with that, he'd lived like that for a long time anyway "Yeah, alright Faust."


OOC: Anyone wanna go poke RocketMeowth and ask if she's still in? I know she's been on, but it seems everyone is wondering about Red and if he's coming or not.

EDIT: She was on, so I gave her a poke, we'll see whether or not she's still with us now...

[RocketMeowth]

OOC: Okay, so I am still catching up with everything that happened. To explain Red's non posting, I'll just make so he went into a trance or something. xDDDD That's th only way I can think of properly explaining a big lag in his activeness.

IC:

In and out. In and out. With each breath came the feeling of sudden bursts. Each burst brought fourth a pair of bright yellow eyes with piercing red pupils. Grim smiles with dirty yellow fangs emerged under the eyes, as if they were summoned by a powerful force.

Screams in the distance could be heard echoing through the confounds of Red's melting head. They tore at the walls of his mind and scraped against the already broken view on humanity. Laughs then took over for the screams, antagonizing him more and more as images of his family raced through his crying thoughts. Blood splatter, limbs being ripped off, terror filled eyes, his family was dieing through murder. Again.

"GAH!" Red screamed coming out of his trance. The last image thrown at him was his sister, Callie. Her mangled body was being used as a puppet, while his family was set a flmae by his own dark powers. "What... where was I just now?" Red mewed under his breath as his chest puffed in and out. His heart felt like it had just been placed in a death sentence and was about to be executed.

Somehow, he'd fallen into a trance. A trance that turned into hell, a vision of Red's darkest thoughts.

Black fire killed his family. Black fire... was him.

OOC: ime improving ma chopper!
picollo
Picollo saw the cat again, through the side of his eye."Wait,ait,t. Was that that cat?at?t?".Picollo flew back, and saw the cat again."Erm, you okay now?ow?".Picollo watched the eyes, looking as he went through something horrible.

chopper
"Euargha!" chopper was smashed against the walls, but chopper recovered from his pain, and launched off an leaf blade at the rhyhorn. "Hey, dual, by now I wonder where the others are...".

Chopper flew at an bayleef and tried to use bug bite on it, then surprisingly used an poison fang instead of bug bite. "I thought yanmegas couldn't do this?".Chopper watches his mouth, and saw his fang grow in size and began to glow purple. Also, two arms of an drapion popped out.

[Entei_3000]

Kat's muscles relaxed when she felt Hikaru pet her, she looked up at him, she blinked, a smile on her face.

She sudenly faced the hall again, snarling as another person and three Pokemon came into view. She relaxed when she realized they were exeriments, too.

"I'm gonna feel jumpy forever," Katt muttered. She jumped again, no snarling, though, as Red screamed, then asked where he had been.

"Um, as far as I know, you've been right here the whole time," Katt walked over to him, nudging his shoulder gently with her nose. "You alright?" She looked up again as the Shuppet appeared again. She waved her tail in recognition, then looked back at Red.

[RocketMeowth]

Red felt a sort of compassion when Katt touched his nose to him. He couldn't explain why, he just felt safer somehow. He looked down. I've been here this whole time? But... but then how did I wind up in that trance? It felt so real. It felt... familiar... he thought as sweat beads trickled down the side of hi head. He then responded to Katt and the shuppet, not wanting to leave them worried or possibly confused.

"I'm fine... I think. I just think that... that I saw something resembling the truth," he mumbled under his heat drawn breath. His overall personality, the anger driven cat, had sat aside for this round. Currently, he had taken on the personality of normality. His mood was stable like anyone elses, while his mind (though destroyed) sat calm and unthinking. For the moment.

"Did I miss anything?" he mewed, lifting his head back up.

=^^= Nya

[black fury]

PICOLLO
"I'm fine... I think. I just think that... that I saw something resembling the truth""."Okay then,hen,n. Good to hear that you are okay,kay,y.The shuppet carefully flew closer by, when he was by the umbreon and the meowth."Hey, my name is picollo,icollo,ollo,lo,o. Nice to meet you,ou.And what is your name?" Picollo asked the question both to the umbreon and the meowth.

Hooray, for once I'm making a short post :P

IC
Kuro knew they didn't hear him, but it didn't matter to him, that's the way it was when he was in school, not even the teachers listened to him.

Kuro started daydreaming, just standing there in front of that whole group not being noticed. He was in school as the somewhat normal kid he used to be. He rememebr that time he put those bullies to sleep by using the power of Kyo the Darkrai which lived in his body. Then came Luna, the only girl he knew that could understand his condition completely. His hair anntena started nudging up and down. Luna saw Kuro with his nudging hair, not even knowing what it means.

Kuro shocked into reality. He just remembered what was truely important as of now. Rei and Nami were just standing there, wondering what he'll do next.

"I think I'll just go on ahead, I am pretty used to working alone anyways," Kuro said deep in thought. So then he walked around the whole scene, going towards the door that he had no idea where it led, hoping that this door might eventually lead him to Luna...

[DarkAmethyst]

Hikaru and Espeon

A slight smile of relief came onto Hikaru's face at Seth's confirmation that he was alright. He then jumped almost simultaneously with Katt when Red screamed suddenly, muttering something about where he was. He watched Katt walk over to him, along with a Shuppet that seemed to have just arrived with them all. He heard the said Pokemon introduce himself to the two as Picollo, but that was all he really caught.

"I think I'll just go on ahead, I am pretty used to working alone anyways." (TeirusuFX quote)

Hikaru's cat-like ears twitched slightly when he heard another voice behind him, turning to see a boy with blue Vulpix ears, a blue Absol tail, and what looked like the wings of a Latios. No doubt another experiment.

The said person had already walked around the group, heading toward a door off in the distance. Hikaru glanced down at Espeon, still standing silently at his feet, her gaze fixed on Zyrvia, then to Katt, who was still with Red. He remained still for a moment or two longer, finally starting after the other boy.

"Hey," he called after him, "Did you need something?"

Krystal and Glaceon

Glaceon looked to Chopper as he spoke, shrugging slightly. Her previous Ice Beam attack had successfully collided with the two Seviper, but it seemed that they weren't out quite yet.

"I dunno," she responded, looking up to the Yanmega beside her, "Prob'ly pretty far by now..."

[Entei_3000]

"I don't think you missed very much," Katt said, looking up and around herself. "An Arbok came in. I think her name's Zyrvia?" Katt looked at the Arbok.

"Hey, don't go!" Katt looked at the boy was about to leave. "It's not safe to wander alone!"

Katt really had no idea why she said this. Maybe it was because she didn't want anyoen to get hurt, maybe because she more comfortable with other people and Pokemon around. Who knows. She felt safe enough with Hikaru.

Katt looked up at Picollo.

"I'm Katt," The Umbreon said. "It's nice to meet you." She looked back down at Red.

"Are you sure?" Her expression worried. "Was it something like a memory, maybe?"

[Winter_Cherry]

Faust and Seth

Seth looked over at Red, as did Kit, Faust and Shenzii. Kit let out another soft humming sound and licked Red's scorched fur again "You did not miss much, but it's not that that matters. Are you sure you are okay?" she asked softly. Shenzii moved back to Kit and Katt, and looked down at Red sadly--he was big and he was powerful, yes, but he had a very big heart to go with it, especially after looking after both Diva and Joy. "You are with friends, do you need help? We're all in the same boat here. Are you missing anyone that you were with when you were captured? We're trying to find our friends too." he added.

OOC: Kit and Katt, lol. And probably bad move for Shenzii.

[RocketMeowth]

Red Fury pushed Kit away.

"I don't know!" he finally hissed. The truth was, his trance seemed like what Kit suggested, a memory. He looked to the Pokemon calling him 'friend'. Standing together, they showed forms to him he'd not seen since the day of his capture. His family stood like them, looking at him with worried eyes as he was forced to engulf a type of liquid. They never helped out of pure terror, but their eyes showed concern and sadness.

Red kept his trance, his memory, pent up inside of him until he figured it was safe to speak of it. Until that time was to come, he'd have to lie.

"It was a memory, yes. A horrible one as well. It was a flashback to when I was captured. My family screaming as we were forced into cages and made to drink this strange liquid." Red's legs began to tremble with every mew he made, "It was all so real..."

Tears ran ramped down his blood red cheeks as his ears fell flat. He spoke a lie to the only ones in the world that would now show signs of care for him. But at least it wasn't all a lie. He just couldn't tell them that it may have been him, that was the cause of his families murder.

=^^= Nya

[Winter_Cherry]

Faust and Seth

Seth sighed and looked at Faust, the two nodded "We all have horror stories like that. I watched Team Magma take my mom away, then me, I couldn't fight them, they were stronger than I was at the time--and I was only four. They expieramented on me and told me the truth, my parents had both been in Magma, when my dad died, my mom left them and she wasn't supposed to, so I got punished too. I never saw her again. Seth was so little, he can't remember a thing about his family. Nobody liked me and I didn't like them, and everybody ignored Seth, so I helped him. Magma's enough to make you go insane, especially when you're me." Faust said softly, Seth nodded and sighed, closing his eyes for a moment, reliving those days as well. "She got hit. A lot. And even more when she fought back or stood up for me." The boy shivered in her arms. Kit Looked at Red sadly and moved over to Faust "My life was needles and a cold metal room with barely enough food to keep me alive before Seth stole my pokeball, we were all toys of Magma. I didn't know my family either." she huffed. Shenzii looked at his large feet and whined like a younger pokemon might "Kit's right, my story's about the same." he said. Maybe Red wouldn't feel as alone as he seemed to think, "We're all pretty much the same, like a family." he sighed.

[Enkaku_Kumori]

Chibi

Chibi felt her droop at the sad collection of stories. "Poor things..." she murmured. She shook her head, Zyrvia seemed indifferent about the whole matter, while Vyala nodded, on the same train of thought as her trainer.

"So, new teamates?" Vyala asked hopefully, indicating to the newcomers.

Chibi nodded, then shrugged, she honestly didn't have a clue. "Hey, you've got some pretty stable friends to anchor you here Red," she said feelingly, "I've seen people literally tortured to death. And I mean to death." And I wanted it to happen, she added silently. "I've seen others things too, but I would rather not talk about them, but you can share your pain with us. I know you're never going to feel better if you don't talk to someone."

"Since when did you see people getting tortured to death?" Vyala asked icily. Chibi didn't answer her, but gave her a sad glance.

Zyrvia watched the group emotionlessly. A family... she said, echoing Seth's last words. She snorted. I don't need a family. I've sssurvived all of thessse yearsss on my own, and I'm not going to endanger that because of some pity I feel! Her eyes narrowed, and she felt a hiss tickling the back of her troat. Yet despite all of her objections, she really did feel a tiny bit envious....although medieval torture would never get her to admit it.

[Entei_3000]

"Hey, don't cry," Katt sat down, looking at Red sadly. She wished she could comfort him more...

Katt looked up as Faust and Seth told their stories, as did Chibi. Katt looked at Hikaru.

"I feel the same," She murmured, "Being separated from Hikaru was horrible, I didn't know if I'd ever see him again or anything." She forced a tiny smile. "Then I found him." Katt's left ear twitched as Xyrvia spoke.

"I think everyone needs family," Katt said. "And friends. They're both someone you can run to when you have something on your mind, when you're happy, sad, frustrated. Anything."

OOC: I'm back. Thanks for that Silvyre! Much appreciated.
IC:

Derek

We had been walking slowly through the compound, passing hall after hall of empty cells, some filled with evidence of destructicve potential, some shown with signs of insanity. It was horrible what was going on here. I was relieved to see Aeris still ok after all that had happenned. However, out luck was seemingly at an end when we reached the room which appeared to have lots of operating tables and restrainment devices. A flashback triggered in my mind.

Scientists were everywhere, and the halls were filled with screams of agony as people were slowly mutating, skin being stretched to its limit. I had already been operated on, held by handcuffs on a chain to a cement block too heavy for me. I was pulling the chain to its limits, with no work actually being done. I was humiliated, slapped, and further mentally tortured in ways that were not humane at all ... And then I felt pain on the back of my head, and unconcsiousness hit me for the first, but certainly not the last time.

I looked around, and was shicked to see the guards spilling out of the hallwaqys, pokeballs and stun weapons ablaze. I tightened my fists, and yelled, "Bring it on!"

[DarkAmethyst]

Hikaru & Espeon

The darkly colored ears atop Hikaru's head lowered slowly, falling nearly flat against his head as Red, Seth, Faust and Shenzii shared their sad stories. He felt a slight shiver run through him when Chibi mentioned seeing people tortured to death. He couldn't imagine having to witness something like that... His story wasn't exactly a happy one, either, but it was no where near as bad as theirs.

He glanced back at Zyrvia when she said something about not needing family. Katt beat him to the response beforehand, though. He looked down at the Umbreon and smiled softly. Beside him, Espeon shifted slightly, not quite sure how to respond to the situation. Her attention had shifted from Zyrvia to Red by now, and concern could be seen in her eyes.

The boy whom Hikaru had spoke to earlier hadn't responded yet, which made him wonder if he'd heard him. Nonetheless, he looked back down to Red, giving him a reassuring smile.

Chibi's right; you're among friends here," he glanced at Shenzii, "Or more like a family, since we've all had somewhat similar experiences. We don't want to hurt you, just help you."

"Hey, did you need something?" One of them called to him. He was actually noticed by someone other than Luna, it was exciting. He turned around, and it turns out the person who called him was a guy wearing mostly dark blue, and has dark blue ears resembling a Skitty...or is it Delcatty?

"I just wanted to know what you are doing at this moment," Kuro said shakingly, "Oh, and my name is Kuro Ishida, and this is my Blaziken, Rei~" "Sup" "~and this is my friend's Empoleon, Nami~" "Hiya!" "~and last but not least, Kyo the Darkrai, who isn't really visible because he's a spirit who lives inside me." Kyo said nothing because he knew that they couldn't hear him.

Kuro, waiting for an answer, looked around the group in more detail, a lot of people seemed to be experimented, and have grown Pokemon body parts, which seems a bit cruel and unusual. Some of the people ended up looking more like Pokemon then they should be. He felt that his red arm and red eye was safe, because they would probably think it was part of the experimentation, which was really obtained when he was born.

Rain sniffled and coughed, That one felt like his lungs were going to come out with it. In his mind, he still knew it was his fault he couldn't escape, but he figured he better not say it, it wouldn't help anymore. "I-I'm sorry I ran off like that, I'm just, I'm just confused. Rain wobbled to his feet trying to balance himself on his two feet again. His legs felt weaker than earlier, but he payed no attention to it. Rain turned his head around. "Any idea which direction we came from, now?"

((i'm so sorry, I completely forgot about this! [Sorry sorry sorry {repeat}]))

[Winter_Cherry]

Faust and Seth

Seth squirmed in Faust's arms "You can put me down now Sky--sorry, Faust. I'm fine now." he said, Faust sighed at the annoyed look on his face, not from being held, but that he'd slipped with her name. She lowered Seth to the floor, where he was practically licked to death by Kit, who just wanted a bit of reasurrance from all their horror stories. "It's okay Seth, you just got a little confused, I don't mind that, it's who I used to be after all. Skylar Alvira, that's a name I haven't heard in a very long time, but it not like just because I call myself something different now, it's not like she doesn't exist." she huffed. Then she looked over at Shenzii "Well, I'd certainly like to be among more friends, namely our missing pokemon--I am especially worried about my own becuase they're young. Anyone second my idea?"

[DarkAmethyst]

Hikaru & Espeon

"I just wanted to know what you are doing at this moment. Oh, and my name is Kuro Ishida, and this is my Blaziken, Rei, and this is my friend's Empoleon, Nami, and last but not least, Kyo the Darkrai, who isn't really visible because he's a spirit who lives inside me." (TeirusuFX quote)

Hikaru looked back to the boy he'd called to earlier, who had already not only answered his question, but introduced himself and the three Pokemon with him as well. He smiled at the four, his ears rising back up slightly as he responded, "It's nice to meet you all. I'm Hikaru, and this is Katt and Espeon," he gestured toward the two as he introduced them, though the last one was kind of obvious. He figured he'd not introduce everyone else as well, for some of them might want to do so themselves, "We're not really doing much of anything currently; mainly discussing what to do next."

Espeon nodded, "Most all of us have lost someone here, so we were all going to go together to search for what we're missing, along with a way out of here."

"Mm," Hikaru agreed with a nod, "Would you like to come along? It's always better to travel in groups." He looked to Seth and Faust again then, furrowing his brow at the mention of another name of Faust's, but decided not to ask, instead responding to what was said afterward. "I second that. If everyone's set and ready to go, we should get moving... before a guard or scientist comes down to check the halls."

[Entei_3000]

Katt yipped a greeted to Kuro and the Pokemon with him. She wagged her tail. She looked around.

"Which way first?" Katt flicked an ear in one direction. "I came from that way. Didn't really see anything 'cept doors, which prob'ly lead to just more cells."

~~~

Lilly stood up and looked around herself, realizing she'd left Pikachu and Pyro.

"Not really, no," She said. "We should probably try to find Pikachu and Pyro, first."

~~~

Pikachu wasn't sure what to do. Should they go look for Lilly and Rain? Or should they stay put until their trainers came back?

What d'you think, Pyro? Pikachu stopped his pacing and looked at the Pokemon. Stay here or go look for 'em?

[Silvyre]

Ceth's head shook from side to side as he watched Luxio and Derek suddenly appear at his side. Guards came from all directions, but the ones with guns and far-range weapons stayed in the back of the unit. There must have been at least thirty of them, all bearing belts of vicious Pokemon.

Luxio, not thinking twice, let loose a massive Thunder attack, lighting up the entire dimly lit chamber. Some of the guards were hit, while others stopped in their tracks and backed away, pokeball in hand.

"Bring it on!"

Ceth heard Derek's cry. He glanced at him, and back at Luxio, presently fending off any guards who got too near. They screamed random signals and secret words that they clearly learned in training, but none of them did anything more than slowly approach the four of them.

Suddenly, he realized that the guards were wearing heavy armor and masks, as if they were protecting themselves from something. Contanimated, Ceth thought. We are experiments. We are contaminated. They can't... they won't... touch us.
His brow furrowed and he clenched his fists. I'm not normal, Ceth thought. And they're going to kill me for it. Just the mere thought made him blaze with anger, though it was trivial thought in the back of his mind at the time. Ceth's pulse raced, feeling his heartbeat in his head; his skin darkened into a fiery red shade.

"Luxio, hold your own," Ceth cried in a cracking voice. "Take whoever you can."
I'll try, but there's too many, Luxio snarled. I can't take all of them, even with Aeris and Derek.
"NO!" Ceth roared. The ferocity of his tone made the walls literally shake. A pulsing wave seemed to eminate from his being, striking the guards in the front of the unit to the ground. No doubt his cry could be heard from ouside the chamber and beyond.
Ceth took a step forward, his eyes flaming with anger. "We won't be taken back after we came this far. I'm telling you, commanding you: use Discharge!"

Once more, Luxio let loose a strong, expertly trained bolt of electricty. The room flashed with light and a sharp crack echoed off the walls.

[TeirusuFX]

OOC
I think because of my character intraction with others, I can no longer make epically long posts

IC
Kuro listened to Hikaru's words with thought, and responded, "I'm also looking for something in this dreadful place," Kuro said darkly, "Her name is Luna Hikari, she's the owner of Nami, and she saved Nami so the guards don't catch her as well. I have no idea where she was taken, but my guess is that she isn't in a jail cell, but captive and restrained somewhere else. I must find her, and hopefully joining you're group will help me advance one step closer to her."

Kyo hesitated, "Are you sure you should be doing this? These people seem pretty shifty..." "Actually they don't seem shifty at all, in fact, aren't you the shifty one?" "You got a point there."

"So," Kuro continued talking to Hikaru, "Where should we head first? I don't mind where we go, just as long as we don't bump into Zetta along the way~" Rei cut him off, "Shush! We don't need to discourage these people about him and his egotistical ways!" Kuro finished his thought then said, "...Okay, so where to?"

Chibi

Chibi nodded in agreement at Hikaru's words. "No doubt we're already being looked for." She said, "after all a hell of a lot of experiements suddenly found out it was a good idea to break out of their cells and escape, they'll be franctic to get us back, if they know what we can do." With that she snapped her fingers and brought them alight with fire to put emphasis on her statement.

"Which way then?" Zyrvia hissed, lashing her tail and causing the wall to bang loudly.

"Ssssh!" Vyala hissed. "But, I say pick a direction and go that way. Chibi got to here by making some random turns."

(Suxxxxxx....)

[Lastwyvern]

Pyre's head almost caught on fire. He snapped his head to the Pikachu. "Don't call me Pyro, I will hurt you..." Pyre threatened quietly. He calmed down and closed his eyes. *I really need to control my temper...* "I dunno, I guess we should go over, in case something happened, but if something happened--" Pyre nearly hit himself in the head for saying that. Of course nothing happened, if something did they would be running back by now. "I can wait, but if you want to go, I'll come he offered.

[Grsspkmnmaster]

The guards were approaching, yet they seemed very ominous, looming figures, mainly enhanced by their apparent fear of us. They wouldn't come within Luxio's range of attack, and I kept Aeris by my side for now. I didn't want to make the first move, but apparently the first one had been made for me. A massive white light came from a Discharge, barely giving me enough time to shut my eyes and shield Aeris'. The light simmered down again, and the guards were clearly on the offensive now. A few rushed me, but I stretched out my arms to about 6 feet each and knocked them both down before they even got close with a Mach Punch. The onslaught continued when a green blur got knocked out of a jump by Aeris performing her deadly Aerial Ace. The Gallade hit the ground hard, and a Drill Peck finished it off. I sprinted towards the mayhem that enveloped her as Aeris hit the ground, arms flailing, when a Rock Throw hit me in the side. I spun around and looked in fear to see the Rhydon there, back and bad as ever.

"You and I have a score to settle, Bre-boy. "Allright, then lets go, fair and square. I have super effective advantage anyways." "Not when I'm through with you you won't. ... What? I hollered, "That doesn't even make sense!" "Good! It wasn't supposed to."

In my aggravation I let loose a nice Mach Punch, hitting him square in the chest even though he was 7 feet away from me. Good thing I got the extendable arms ... I looked around to see the massive fights going on around us. But Luxio was right ... no matter how good we are, there's too many of them ... I saw the Rhydon charging at me and got hit swuare in the chest. The wounds in my leg tarted bleeding again, and I felt like new bruises were on my chest again. By this time later I was probably going to be a black and blue person whit the greenish tinge of my skin tone. I whirled around just in time to see an Ariados charging at me. I yelled out, "Aeris, combine your Drill Peck and Aerial Ace attacks!" A brown blur hit the Ariados out of mid-air, and slammed it into a wall, causing the oversiazed spider to faint on contact.

Now I turned to my battle just in time to see a rocky fist hit me. I was out again. I yelled, "Ceth, help!"

[Entei_3000]

Katt snarled at the thought of the scientists looking for them. She flicked her ears, changing her fur white and light blue, her yellow eyes looked around.

"Well we're not doing much good standing around here," She said suddenly, the tone of her voice almost startled herself. Since when did she become so relaxed?

Odds are we'll all be under pressure then I'll be freaking out because we're in a tight spot. Katt rolled her eyes. Sometimes she wished she wouldn't lose her head when put under pressure.

~~~

Pikachu backed away, his ears pressed against his head.

S-sorry. Pikachu stammered. Forgot you're name was Pyre... Pikachu looked around and stood up on his hind feet. Well, we don't know how far they've gone, all we can do is follow their scent, I guess. Pikachu started down the hallway, sniffing. All he could really pick up was Rain's, so he guessed that Lilly had been flying.

OOC: Seriously, I forgot his name was Pyre. :oops:

[Winter_Cherry]

Faust and Seth

Faust smiled and cracked her knuckles loudly "I wouldn't mind busting some heads myself, but I guess we go opposite of the way Katt came. Anyway, we'll probably wind up putting the spotlight down on us anyway 'cause wherever they have our pokemon and things will probably be locked. They're enough of us here, getting the door open won't be a problem--but my guess is that it'll make one heck of a bang." she said, a large dent forming in the wall beside her with a groan as if to emphasize her dark words. Seth nodded and Shenzii moved from Red to join Faust, electricity crackling along his fur "Everyone ready? Time to play rebellion." Faust said with a wide smile.

[Lastwyvern]

Pyre shook his fur, it felt glued to him and needed to be fluffed out. He sniffed the ground too, but something caught his attention. "The trail is drawn-out and weak, they're a long way away from here, that's for sure". Another long walk was ahead of them. "We're in for a long trip if they aren't coming back themselves..." Pyre didn't like the situation, they were separated and alone. "Hey, uh, can I ask you a question? How did you meet Lilly..? He asked. Pyre felt talkative, which doesn't really happen a lot. The question sounded much more proper in his head, but he said it anyways.

((OcC: eeh, sometimes I forget your character is named Lilly. Crap happens, right? :oops:))

[Silvyre]

Ceth's eyes darted around the room, first catching Luxio charge a section of the guards with his electrified fur. The collision sent the overprotected humans flying backward, some into other guards, but Luxio was also affected.

He next caught a Rhydon, possibly trained for the guards' offense, slam a massive fist into Derek as Aeris used Aerial Ace on an Ariados. Everything was happening so fast. Even some guards were approaching him, but they were too afraid to actually capture him.

Trying something new, Ceth closed his eyes and tried to block out all the noises and tense feelings in the room. He could almost feel the proximity of the guards, quickly gaining on their prey - him. But he continued to focus all the willpower and mental energy he had in him. He blocked out even Luxio's calls, but one voice he could not ignore:

"Ceth! Help me!"

The distressed cry made his heart pound. Never before had he felt so needed; needed to save someone's very life and the life of the ones he loved. As if by some godly force, Ceth felt the mental capability rising inside of him. He could think what he wanted to happen, and so would it be.

Ceth opened his eyes, and they glazed over in a clear, ice-blue sheet. Yet, he felt in control. He felt as if... could control not just himself, but the bodies of others. Testing himself with a swift hand movement, Ceth lifted a major section of the pack of guards into the air, having them dangle and thrash for their own lives. With another light flick of his wrist, Ceth threw them into a wall.
Excellent, he thought. He grinned in amusement.

Luxio, stunned at first, swung his body around to see Ceth almost hovering in air. He took the boy in, and then flicked his tail excitedly. You've really outdone yourself, freak.
Ceth laughed, and the booming sound caused everything in the chamber to stop and stare. The Rhydon averted its attention and recklessly charged him. Ceth's hazy but perfectly accurate eyes stared right through the Pokemon, as if burning a hole through its rock hide.
And suddenly - surprisingly - the Rhydon began to burn.

The Pokemon burst into flames and, despite the massive creature's cries and struggles, the flames won the battle. Rhydon fell to the ground, burned to a solid crisp. Luxio snarled and shocked it, just to be sure that what he had actually seen was real. Rhydon made no signs of movement. Ceth had actually burned down a rock- and ground-type Pokemon.

Derek, are you all right? Luxio asked anxiously. He bounded to the hybrid's side while Ceth experimented with his psychic abilities, fighting off other guards before they got too near to any one of the four of them. He vowed that anyone trying to escape this building alive was an ally of his and would not be touched.

[Grsspkmnmaster]

OOC: *jaw drops to center of the earth* niceeeeee
IC:

Derek

After an impressive display of psychic ability, most of the guards and the Rhydon had been taken care of. Luxio bounded over, and Aeris swooped down to see if I was ok. I looked over my pale green body. Let's see ... more bruises ... the cuts starting to open again ... that's really it. I looked up and said, "I'm fine, but I really need a bandage for this leg. Check the room if you guys can." I stayed seated, throwing a punch at any of the guards that came too close. Most of them kept their distance, because I could stretch my arms anyways, and Aeris would use a nasty Drill Peck on anyone that got closer.

[DarkAmethyst]

Hikaru and Epseon

Hikaru nodded at Faust's words. She was right; they would eventually be found anyhow, whether it was while searching the halls or by making commotion when breaking into a room. But, as Chibi had mentioned, they didn't really have a reason to worry, considering they all had abnormal abilities, while the scientists and guards were still regular humans.

He felt a grin tug at the corners of his mouth as Shenzii spoke, merely nodding again in response. Espeon rose to her feet once again at his side, looking up to her trainer to await departure.

"Alright then, I guess we're heading that way," he nodded toward the other end of the hall behind them, opposite the direction Katt and some of the others had come from. He looked back to Red then, still in the same place. "Do you wanna come, too?"

OoC: Since not much else is going on with her, I may go ahead and advance Krystal a little bit in a later post.. I don't want her falling too inactive.

[Entei_3000]

OOC: May I make another charrie, Amethyst?

IC:
Katt streatched out her front legs, she felt the annoying sticker again. She growled and whipped her head around tried to bite at it viciously. She finally got a hold of a corner, she quickly tore it off, wincing as it brought fur with it. She walked over to the wall and stuck the sticker to the wall.

"Good riddance," Katt stuck her tongue out at the white sticker. "I will not tolerate being labeled with a number like a brainless robot."

~~~

How I met Lilly? Pikachu looked at Pyre. Well... I think it was a really hot summer night. It was awful. My fur was damp with sweat, because I and my group had been working on nests for the females and their litters. I had gone to the stream to drink. The stream had been near a waterfall. And accidentally slipped into the stream and was almost carried down the waterfall whne Lilly came out of no where and caught me, of course she went down the falls too. But she had a rope tied around her waist. Apparently she was with a friend, who hauled us up. I've been with her ever since. Pikachu smiled. I had followed her for two weeks before she finally caught me. I wanted a proper battle with her. She won, I was still little then. So was she, but she was talented. We've traveled ever since. Pikachu looked at Pyre. How did you and Rain meet?

[TeirusuFX]

OOC
Sorry if this is against anything, but I'm going to do something...

IC: Back at Home...
It was a sunny day. The suburbs were nice and peaceful. School was normal as well. No one, however, noticed the disappearence of Kuro, Luna, and Rina. That is, until now.

Kuro's parents called Luna's parents. Each of them assumed that the kids were sleeping at each other's houses. That turned out to be false, and they started to panic. They agreed to meet at the city park. Once they both arrived there, they started to discuss possible places that their kids might run off to. So off they went, searching left and right and up and down for their kids. Nowhere could they find them. So they decided to create a lost child ad. They sumed up enough money they thought was good enough for the location of their kids, 125,000P. As soon as the ads got out, people who noticed the reward started frantically searching for them with no luck.

But there was a being who knew where they were...a witness. The witness looked at the ad, not caring for the reward. The witness believed that the reason why they were abducted was completely unreasonable, so the wintess wanted justice. The witness reach a local phone booth and called the two availble numbers on the paper. "I know the whereabouts of your kids, meet me behind the city department store at 9:00 PM, and I'll tell you the details," said the witness.

But just who was this witness?

IC: Kuro's Side
Kyo sensed a large amount of guards coming, except wearing different colored uniforms for some odd reason...

"Kuro, I sense guards coming...and they seem to be in navy colored uniforms now for some odd reason." Kuro knew this might eventually happen. "Okay, Kyo just told me guards are on there way to this location, do you want to take action and fight or run and devise a strategy, I'm fine which whatever you people decide."

Katt emitted a low growl, her ears pinned back against her head.

"I'd like to rip 'em to shreds!" Katt snarled. "But... that's not really up to me." She calmed down a tiny bit, lookign at Hikaru.

~~~

Lilly looked around.

"Alright, let's try going down that way," Lilly point to their right, she looekd at Rain. "You gonna be OK?"

[Winter_Cherry]

Faust and Seth

Faust looked up at Kuro and grinned "Guards, you say? I second Katt's idea--I wanna fight. Not to mention we might get some useful info if we decide to try some interrogation tactics, which I do know a bit about." she said, Seth nodded. Shenzii growled and his fur was suddenly glowing yellow and a burnt smell followed by a popping sound "I want to rip them into shreds as well!" he snarled, Kit huffed and a small fireball went into the air "Calm down, save it for the fight--if there even is one." she said. Seth sighed and looked around "I believe Faust is right, we may gain some information and a bit of revenge if we stay, what do you think?" he asked.

[Lastwyvern]

Pyre closed his eyes, trying to remember. Well, I grew up in an abusive family... My parents treated me and my siblings like trash, and we had to fight each other for scraps of food. I grew tired of having to compete for life and being told I'm pathetic, and I ran away. Nobody really seemed to care, but I kept running. I don't know how long I ran, but eventually, I passed out.
When I came-to, I was in Rain's house. I was curled up in his lap while he was watching TV. I heard what I thought I would never hear. He greeted me. He treated me like an equal, not a slave or a useless pup who couldn't defend himself for spit." Pyre heard the quiet ticking of his claws against the smooth shiny floor. The sound echoed, giving the effect that the sound was coming from behind him.

Rain smiled. "Yeah, I think I'll be fine" He followed Lilly down the hallway. "I just hope we meet up with another experiment, and not a scientist...

[DarkAmethyst]

OoC: Sure you can; I don't mind. ^^

IC: Hikaru and Espeon

A slight grin came onto Hikaru's face. He nodded, "I agree. This is a good chance for us to try and gather some information," his ears rose again, one of them twitching at some distant commotion. "And, even if we happen to not get anything important from them, we can at least get some revenge." He spoke this in agreement with Seth's previous statement.

At his side, Espeon's tail swished excitedly, "A fight certainly sounds good to me. I'd like to punish them for all of the injustice they've given us."

Hikaru glanced down at her, his fists clenching at his sides, "Alright, then. A fight it is."

[Entei_3000]

Katt looked at Espeon and Hikaru, then at Red.

"What about you, Red?" Katt said softly. "You up for it?"

~~~

Pikachu listened silently. It made him sick, thinking that people and pokemon treated their family like that.

You're lucky that Rain found you, huh? Pikachu smiled. It's nice to have people care about you. To have someone love you so much that they'd stand in harm's way just so you wouldnt' have to... Pikachu looked up at the ceiling as he walked. Memories flashing through his mind.

~~~

Lilly peeked around the corner, she stepped carefully, trying to keep quiet. And all the time hoping that Pikachu would be alright...

[TeirusuFX]

IC: Luna's Side
Luna awoke after being ambushed by those guards. She noticed that she has been restrained to a wall. She then checked her surroundings. It seems that she's not in a prison cell, but in a lab. Fear came to her. She thought the scientists would experiment on her again, so she attempted to release herself by using her psychokinesis power, but strangely, her power never came.

"Do you like it? I call it the Anti-Elemental Lapistier," a gruff voice said. A shady figure appeared. He was one of the scientists, and seems to have the evil glare. He sems a bit more buff than the average scientist, so Luna knows he means business. "This special crystal I designed cancels all special attacks and turns all physical attacks to the Normal element." "I don't care about your stupid lapistier! What you people planning to do with me!" "Ha! Like I' tell you! All I came here for was to drop off this box." Luna noticed that he was carrying a box. He placed it down and headed the door. "See you soon...very soon." He shut the door, and Luna felt hopeless. She noticed that the box he dropped off was open. She stared inside it and saw...

IC: Kuro's Side
It seemed that every single one wanted a piece of the action. So Kuro signaled everyone to go hide in a hidden area to ambush the guards. Ambushes, as he knows, are a really effetive way to win a battle, by catching the guards off guard. He himself hid in a dark corner, and Kyo cloaked him using the dark shadow around them. Rei junped behind some boxes, and Nami hid behind a pile of tires.

They continued to wait for the guards...

Zryvia emitted a long hiss of delight at the thought of ripping apart humans with her teeth and anything else she could. Finally, oh finalle all her years of her personal hell would finally be paid back! The very idea of it was so delicious and appetizing that the Arbok shuddered in delight, savoring the meal to come.

Chibi grinned nastily, displaying her canine-like teeth beautifully. "Oh, I was hoping for a fight." She said, she rubbed her hands together, sparks flew fro them and spiraled to the floor to die out. Then one by one her fingers slowly came alive with fire, illuminating her face in a sinister light.

"Where are they?" Vyala asked, pricking her ears, "The sooner they come the better."

[Silvyre]

ooc: Okay, that's annoying... I made a huge post and it was deleted -__- Sorry for the misunderstanding, Grsspkmnmaster. Also, just FYI, Ceth is now Rose because I don't want to confuse anyone about the two Seth characters in the RP xD

IC:
It took a great deal of energy to move his own eyelids.
Rose blinked. Slowly. And the first thing he could feel was the stabbing, throbbing, screeching pain in his head, seemingly coming from the inside.
He screamed and writhed in pain. It was nearly too much to bear...
Whoa, calm down! You're all right... you're alive. A miracle. Luxio was alive, too. Rose stared blankly at his friend standing above him. Suddenly, all the feeling came back into his body, flushed with blood. Rose could move his limbs again, and he tried to sit up. Luxio's mighty, electrified paw prevented him from moving anywhere. Rose fell back to the ground gently. You're not going anywhere. You're too worn out.

Licking his chapped, dry lips, Rose croaked, "The guards... Derek... the Fearow... you?" He squeezed his eyes shut and ground his teeth together, taking his mind off the pain in his head. It never went away until Luxio spoke to him, his voice echoing in Rose's brain.
Me? I'm all right. We cleared the room completely of the guards, which is the only thing I'm happy about. Derek's a bit battered up... Luxio paused, shaking his body off in amusement. Well, more than a bit. He's pretty much covered in purple and green bruises and gashes. But he's a tough guy... and of course Aeris is fine. Strong Pokemon, you know... Luxio hummed quietly. But you... you're the most injured out of all of us. I think your psycho mind powers did this to you, he added, a growl resonating from deep in his chest.

Rose had closed his eyes already. He barely heard the sound of what Luxio last said in his mind. Drifting off to sleep, Rose tried to forget the sheer pain of his strange powers.

* * * * *

Glad to see you awake again. Luxio was sitting nearby, waving his tail mindlessly. Rose stood up fully from his crouched position and stretched. The splitting headache he once had was almost gone, but at least the pain was bearable.
"Wow... that was... odd." He yawned lazily, feeling much better. "So, you finished them off, huh?"
Well, that was a while ago.
"Really? How long have I been out?"
Luxio snorted. Too long. I'm past worrying over you, I just want some excitement.
Rose laughed. "Well I'm feeling much better." He walked around aimlessly, catching the sound of Aeris' majestic wings flapping, and started heading toward them. Luxio followed faithfully. "Guess I won't be doing that again. You think that might have... you know... left some permanent damage?"
Luxio said nothing, but lowered his head. Rose glanced at him. The Pokemon's eyes were glazed over in thought and some unknown emotion.

Derek and Aeris came into "Hey, Derek," Rose called wearily. Luxio trotted over to Aeris and lifted his head to the flying Pokemon. "That was some battle, huh?"

[Winter_Cherry]

Faust and Seth

Faust smiled, crouching down with one hand on the floor, the other resting on Shenzii's head. The luxray bared his teeth, trying to keep from spewing electricity on everyone and shocking them, kneading his paws on the floor. Kit stood by Seth, prancing in anticipation and puffing little fireballs into the air. Seth stood back, he was better when it came to long-range attacks, not close combat. Faust looked at Shenzii "They're close, I can feel their minds quite clearly." she said, then "This is the best my little revolutions has ever been, everyone ready to rumble?" she asked calmly, baring her teeth like Shenzii and emitting a small growl.

[Grsspkmnmaster]

Derek

The battle had finished, and Aeris had finally found me a roller bandage. I watched as the guards turned to run elsewhere. I wondered why. If not for Rose, they were winning ... and that one outburst almost killed him ... I shrugged it off. It was better anyways. I looked around and saw Rose talking to Luxio weakly before passing out. I tried to get up to see what the matter was, put pain crippled me as the gashes reopened, almost not bleeding anymore due to the often occurance. I winced, and Aeris flapped her wings once, sending a small puff of wind, forceful enough to push me back down. I laughed. She said said, almost crossly, "If you don't bandage yourself up now, I'm never going to let you back up." I laughed again. She sighed, and left me to my own devices. I rolled the bandage a little tightly around my leg, to make sure it stopped the bleeding, and that it would stop any other openings from ocurring, even if I did a lot of work on my leg.

Shortly after I tied the final knot, Rose came back to. He asked about the battle. I replied, "It was good ... I guess. I mean, we won, but barely. I'm not used to this kind of fighting. Me breaking out while fighting that Rhydon was hard enough." Aeris swooped over, "I think the same. I think we should focus on getting your other pokemon and finding a way out of here." She looked at me, almost smirking, "I'm sure Crush could get us out no problem." We both chuckled.

IC: Back at home...
Kuro's and Luna's parent were just about to know what happened to them. The mysterious witness would show itself and tell them what happened. They decided to dress in shifty clothes to avoid being recognized by other people to prevent suspicion. At 8:45 PM, they departed for the city department store. As soon as they arrived the witness, standing in clear view, was visible.

"I've been waiting for you." The witness wasn't what the adults thought the witness would look like, but they didn't care about the witness' appearance, they wanted to know the information. But because they knew who the witness was, they obviously knew that their incognito was friutless. "Allow me to introduce myself formally to you humans, my name is Fatima, and yes, as you can clearly see, I'm a Lucario." Fatima knew she wasn't going to accomplish anything by standing there staring at each other, so she continued, "You're obviously here to know about the whereabouts of your children, yes?" The adults showed an expression that said 'yes'. "Well, I'll break it short and sweet first, they've been kidnapped." The adult's hearts sank so low, that it almost touched the ground. "It happened around 2:30 PM, your kids should've exited school by then, correct?" Signs of approval showed on their faces. "While I was doing my daily meditation sessions, I saw the kid you designated on the ad...the one with the red eye and red arm." Kuro's parents started to feel unnerved. "While I was staring at his abnormality, I happened to notice a shifty looking guy in a white suit following him, you call these people scientists correct?" Another yes. "Well, at first, I had no idea the scientist guy was going to kidnap him, so I sat there and stared, and as soon as it happened, I noticed the girl that was designated in the ad was chasing that scientist to get the other kid out of his clutches." It was Luna's parents turn to feel crestfallen. "Because of this interesting twist, I followed them unseen to see what would happen. I followed them to some labortory, only to see the scientist go through the back door and to see the girl get captured." The story so far was already killing them. "I peeked through a window and saw that both of them were being expirmented on." The adults finally lost their faith in science. "When I saw that the scientist's faces show disapproval, I then saw them being carried on a boat and being sailed away to where I think is supposed to be the Oyone Region." They had no idea that area existed at all, they showed Fatima looks of questioning. "Oh, that's right, you probably don't know what's there, but that not important, what's important know is the fact that you know that they've been kidnapped." The adults asked Faima if she could go rescue them. "I'm sorry, but I can't, I have no idea where they kept them, and I have no transportation there either." The parents felt like they needed to do whatever it takes to get there, even if it means illegal action.

...Illegal action?

IC: Kuro's Side
The footsteps became audible as the guards ran to our direction. Their Pokemon seemed to be released already as well.

"I estimate that 10 guards are coming," said Kyo. With that said, Kuro made sure to charge up his water attack before hand, just in case. The guards emerged from that door and yelled, "WHERE ARE YOU FREAKS, WE KNOW YOU'RE IN HERE!"

[Entei_3000]

Katt frantically shoved Espeon and Hikaru into an empty cell, she closed the door just slightly, peeking through the slit.

They're calling us freaks? We were normal before they came along. I'd think they would be the freaks. Not our fault we're all like this. Katt looked at Hikaru and Espeon.

"You two alright?" She whispered. "Sorry for shoving."

[Silvyre]

A faint smile tugged on Rose's cheeks, disappearing quickly. "At least it's over," he said wearily. "And you're right. We shouldn't get into more of those messes until we're more prepared."
Luxio lowered his head and growled softly. He heard Aeris say to Derek, "I'm sure Crush could get us out, no problem." Who's Crush? the Pokemon thought, his mind wandering. Rose glanced at him for a second, but averted his eyes to the ground, ignoring the question. His eyes went blank, deep in thought.

Rose looked up to Derek. "I mean... I have an idea. There were tons of empty cells here, right? In that hallway that I met you in? That means there's more people - er, experiments, whatever you wanna call them - and we'd be better off going with them than alone, you know?" Rose smiled genuinely this time, hoping that Derek would agree.

[Grsspkmnmaster]

Derek

"Sounds like a plan to me." I caught the quick look of confusion on Luxio and Rose's face. I smacked myself in the forehead, without injuring myself. "I should've mentioned .... Crush is my Steelix. And he hates tight spaces, unless he made it himself. He'd tear this building apart like a Houndoom takes care of a chew toy." I laughed. I remembered the first time that I had put Crush in a building. "It was the Rustboro Gym, when he was still only an Onix. He had torn open the ceiling because he couldn't stand the closeness of the steel roff to his head. So he tail-slammed it. No one was hurt, thank Arceus, but my next few weeks were getting Crush and Prometheus, my Typhlosion, to fix the building.

I closed my commentary. Yeah, if we can get to Crush and my other pokemon, we can all get out of here. I looked over to Luxio. "Can you track at all?"

[Silvyre]

Rose nodded slowly, listening to Derek's explanation while gazing at Luxio. The talk of Crush, one of Derek's Pokemon that obviously was not with him, made him long for the rest of his team. Charizard, especially; his first battle partner that had stuck with him through the end. He was sure that Derek was feeling the same way about his team, too.

Luxio picked up unsettled vibes from his trainer. Missing someone? Rose smiled faintly with gratitude. At least he had Luxio with him. The Pokemon's tail waved mindlessly and he turned to Derek.
Track? Well yeah, I guess, Luxio replied uncertainly. I can track anything if you give me the scent.

[Winter_Cherry]

Faust and Seth

Faust smiled and let out an inhuman snarl "We're what you created. And we're tired of playing along with your games. We're breaking out." she said, her voice a mix of her usual and a more animalistic tone. Shenzii tore away from the group and dove into the mass of guards, letting loose all his pent-up electricity, which enveloped him in a yellow glow before crackling out of him in quite the display. Faust lifted one of the fried guards into the air using her telekinesis and slammed him into a wall. She walked up to him and smiled grimly "I want answers and you will give me them." she hissed as Shenzii tackled another guard, snarling "Or I will subject you to the anger of a very ticked luxray who wants his riolu back. Now, where are the pokemon being kept?" she asked almost innocently, sounding like she was a lost little girl who was partially posessed. The guard struggled, she smiled and banged him against the wall again. "I-I think th-their in the study room on B4." He stuttered, Faust nodded and smiled again "And where is our stuff-clothes, supplies, etcetera- do you know where that is?" she asked, making her voice even more innocent, the guard nodded quickly "I be-believe it's all in-in the storage room on B4. Y-yeah, the B4 storage room." he said quickly, Faust nodded again. She let him down and stepped forward "Thank you for all your help." she purred, and punched him. He went out like a light.

Faust smiled and joined the fray again. Kit was spitting out fire like crazy while Seth was fighting hand-to hand, or attempting to anyway. She pounced on the gaurd and turn to Seth "I'm always gonna have to protect you, aren't i?" she asked, Seth grinned "Maybe." he replied.

[DarkAmethyst]

OoC: Swapped Hikaru's telepathy for dark-type powers. Just thought I'd inform you all, so you wouldn't think I was breaking my own rule. xD;

IC: Hikaru and Espeon

It took a few moments for Hikaru to recollect himself. He'd started to fall into a sudden trance before Katt had pushed him and Espeon into a nearby cell. He looked down to her as she spoke, nodding in response.

"It's okay; we're both fine," he turned his attention to the slit of the opened doorway, watching Faust and the guard. Storage room on B4, huh?

At his side, Espeon shook herself, her fur beginning to rise as she peered through the slit in the doorway at the guards. Hikaru noticed one of them heading for someone to their left, though who he couldn't tell yet. He pushed open the door quickly, feeling the vibration of the hard thud that sounded as the guard collided with the door. Espeon snickered, running out into the hallway to fend off some herself.

Hikaru's attention shifted to a few other guards approaching from down the hall, and his expression darkened. He stretched out a hand, in which a dark ball of energy began to form (kind of like a Shadow Ball). Facing the palm of his hand toward the guards, he fired off the attack, which struck the ground in front of them, creating a small explosion. A slight smile emerged in his expression at the sight of the fallen enemies once the smoke had cleared.

He turned to Faust and Seth, a few paces away, and called out, "Do you want to stay and fight the rest off, or head for the storage room while there's a break in their arrivals?"

Katt dashed out after Hikaru.

"This is for trapping me!" She snarled, crashing into the nearest guards she saw, sending him into the wall. She transformed into a Jolteon.

"And this for taking me away from my trainer!!!!" Katt fired electricity at the guard, knocking him out. Katt glared, outraged.

"Anyone else wanna go at me?!?!" Katt cried out, transforming into a Flareon. "I'll take on every one of you!!!! For what you've done to my trainer, to me... to EVERYONE!!!!!" The flames around Katt grew bigger. She turned on the other guards. Her eyes glittering with anger.

"I'll make you pay!!!" Katt fairly screamed that out, her mouth opened wide as the stream of flames burst out. She missed the other guards only by a little bit, but that was because she was so angry.

~~~

"Stop," Lilly stretched out her arm in front of Rain to stop him, her ears twitched. "Did you hear that?"

~~~

Pikachu halted, his ears stood upright.

That didn't sound good. He murmured. Either someone's really angry... or.... someone's really angry.

[Grsspkmnmaster]

Track? Well yeah, I guess, Luxio replied uncertainly. I can track anything if you give me the scent.

I sighed. "Well, I don't have anything to give you for a scent." Dang it ... so close.
I tapped my foot impatiently. "Any other ideas of how to find our other pokemon?" I looked around for a map in the vast room we were still in. I saw one in the corner, and Aeris flew me over. I sighed. It was only 20 feet, but she didn't want me on my feet so soon after bandaging it. I looked at the map which had a key next to it. I looked for anything related to pokemon. I read down the list, reading off the names of horrible experimental departments.

Testing Department of Genetic Alteration ... Heat Sensitivity Testing ... Subaquatic Survival Testing ... Battle Training/Testing Department ... Creation Department (You are Here) ... Psychic Power Department ... Fighting Studio ... Lounge ... Experimental Asset Storage Room

The last one seemed to be what we were looking for. Apparently our stuff was being kept in the Storage B4 area. It wasn't too far off from here, just a short walk around some corners. I looked over to Rose and Luxio. "Hey guys! I think I know how to find our stuff!"

[Enkaku_Kumori]

Chibi

Most of the guards were still stumbling around in a sort of a dazed shock as an after effect from the Luxray's electrocution. So most of them were most definetly not expecting to get drop kicked in their face from one of their renegade Vulpix experiments. Or get burned by the renegade girl's insane Vulpix that she had somehow kept. Or get bitten and suffocated by an even more insane reptile that was shrieking for their blood in a chilling human voice.

Chibi surrounded her fist with fire before smashing it into a guard's stomach. Then she turned and shot out stream of fire from her palm at a group of them. As they turned and fled they were abruptly Zen Headbutt'd by the crazy canine the girl was friends with. Anyone else were shot with acid or poison or died some other extremely painful death.

"Chibi! Didn't you hear the bird?" Vyala asked sweetly, spitting out the hand she had been chewing on. Said owner of hand began running but received a roundhouse kick to the face.

"No, tell me." Chibi answered back as if she really didn't care about the answer.

There was a sigh. "Your pokemon! My brothers and sisters of my heart! They just told us where they were! Storage room B4!"

"Oh my god!" Chibi was taken by such surprise that she punched her guard harder than she meant, sending him careening across the hall. "Do you think Zyrvia would come with us?"


"Never!" The purple snake hissed, slamming someone with her tail. "I'm ssstaying right here!"

Chibi sighed and picked up a half conscious guard and held him close to her face. She bared her half canine teeth. "Hey, you, give me directions to storage block B4 before I feed you to the snake." she held him out to Zryvia for good measure. The guard babbled out a half coherent story, and then Chibi threw him over to Zryvia anyway. 'Zryvia? Want to get out of here? Follow us."

"I'll get out of this hell pit on my own!" Zyrvia snarled stubbornly.

"They'll capture you again. Then they'll put you in an even more guarded cell and you'll never get out again."

"I'll fight my way out!"

"The scientist will chain you up. Guard you. Shoot you with tranquilizer darts and whatnot. You need help to get out of here, we'll help you."

With final growl, Zyrvia spat out her human chew toy and made a grudging sound that could have been a "Fine," and slithered up next to Chibi.

[Winter_Cherry]

Faust and Seth

Faust laughed and whirled around and kicked yet another guard so that he flew into the wall with a groan. "It looks like we got most of them." Seth said calmly and turned, cupping his hands around his mouth and shouting "Come on! We got what we wanted--time to roll everyone! On to find our missing friends and partners!" as Kit moved back to his side an Shenzii re-joined Faust with a satisfactory growl. Faust nodded with another grim smile "Hey! You guys get your butts over here if you wanna get out!!!" she shouted louder than Seth could so much as hope to compare to. "Time to ditch this place before they send in more guards!" she yelled to finish up. She smiled and turned to Hikaru "Now we wait for the rest of our crew to come and then we go before they send more guards. Hopefully we can get our pokemon, stuff, and get out of here before they notice too much." she said.

Sorry for the delay, I needed to get used to these French keyboards before I could've posted this...

IC: Kuro's Side
Kuro emerged from the shadows and went straight for the first guard he could see. The guard fell down to the ground because of the hard impact. Rei and Nami also jumped out of their hiding places and attacked multiple Pokemon using their special attacks. Many of them fell, but they didn't give up. The guards Pokemon shot a triple combo of fire, water, and grass at the three of them. They all jumped out of the way, and attacked again. Kuro did a slashing movement towards the grass Pokemon. He shifted his i,agination and the water slashes froze into ice slashes. It knocked out the grass Pokemon as well as a few others in it's path. Rei rammed towards the fire type Pokemon, which also seemed to be a fighting type. Rei made haste and slammed the Pokemon using Brave Bird. The Pokemon flew back so hard, it smmacked into a few others in the process. Nami Stared at the water type Pokemon, deciding what to do. She thought too long, and the Pokemon ran towards her. She finally got a spark and used Drill Peck. Since the Pokemon was also grass type, it fell to the ground.

"It's no use, they're too good!" one of the guards said. "Agreed," said the rest. They started to head towards the exit. Rei and Nami, however, blocked the doorway. "Hey Kyo, don't you want me to use that move now?" Kuro asked with manevolence. "I'd be insulted if you didn't," said Kyo. Kuro did a circular arm motion, and the guards were too afraid to do anything. Kyo used that arm movement to open up a dark hole of some kind. The black hole turned icy blue. "FREEZE DUST!" The hole began to charge power. What the guards expected was an Ice Beam, but they were wrong. The hole forced a blast of wind that was -100 degrees celcius. The guards were frozen in place.

Kuro did it, the power he sought finally came to him. Although he still doesn't know the easiest way to fly, that didn't matter as of now. "Well, it's over now, what next?"

Rain followed silently but he felt a sudden itch in the middle of his back. He reached for it with his hands, but it couldn't get there. "Ngh, fleas..." Muttered under his breath as he reached for the spot with his hind legs. He let off a sigh of satisfaction as the itch left. He fell a bit behind, so he rushed up to meet Lilly. Damn he thought. I even have the habits, too... It was host and stuffy with all his hair, and Rain even had to pant to cool off. Rain heard talking off in the distance. "Hey Lilly, do you hear that?" he muttered closely in her ear.

(OcC: I'm sorry! I almost completely forgot about this! My mom came back and I've been forgetting tons of things lately. I'll try to get back up! :oops: )

"Yes, I did," Lilly nodded. She stepped forward again, the voices grew louder as she neared the corner. She turned slowly. What she saw shocked her.

Guards lay against the wall, experiments were in frotn of them, apparently, some anger had been let loose.

"Rain!" Lilly turned her head to the younger boy. "Come here! There are more experiments over here!"

~~~

Katt's ears twitched when she heard a voice behind her. She whirled around and fired flames. Lilly thought fast and flapped her wings, directing the flames back at her. Katt yipped in alarm and transformed into a Vaporeon and doused the flames.

"What're you tryin' to do?!" Katt yowled in rage.

"Protecting myself, what's it look like?!" Lilly countered. Katt relaxed.

"You're another experiment?"

"I am," Lilly answered. "I've got a friend with me who's also one, too."

"Well make yourselves useful," Katt said, transforming back into a Flareon. "Help us out."

Rose came over and Luxio and him examined the map. He shuddered at the notice of the different experiments that were being done here. He nodded to me. "All right then. It looks like that's the direction we'll be heading in. Luxio nodded as well, and he stepped in place next to Rose as Aeris and I led the way in front. I looked around, and hoped I was heading the right way. Any one of these turns could lead us back into our captors. I looked around more. According to the map we were on the third floor, floor C. We needed to get over to Floor B, the floor above us. However, each floor only had one elevator in the heart of the building.

We held coversation as we walked. Simple pokemon stuff. What we had, what our tactics were, type preferences. He seemed like a nice guy. Maybe after this we can travel together as trainers ...After spiralling around empty corridors for several minutes, we found the elevator. However, it was jammed and out of power. I turned to Rose. "Do you think we can jar it open?" "I can open it, but I won't be able to hold it open ... I responded, "That's fine. I can hold it from there. Luxio, can you power up the elevator once we're all inside?" He looked up with worry. "Maybe ... I don't know. I looked back down at him. "It's just one floor, and we're not that heavy. Judging by what you did with that Discharge earlier, I think you'll manage. And even if you can't, Aeris' Mirror Move will add a little bt of power." I spoke to everyone in the room. "We all ready?" I got nods of approval. "Ok. Let's do this."

IC: Luna's Side
...a bunch of Pokeballs inside the box. Did the buff scientist leave those Pokeballs unattended on purpose? One thing was for certain, she has to grab her's and Kuro's Pokeballs back. But she was still restrained, so all she could do is helplessly wait for the scientists to come back and to see what they would do to her.

They came back alright, about 5 of them, creeply looking at her restrained body. They started muttering to other. The more Luna waited for her fate, the more scared she got. The scientist finally agreed on what they would do to her, and they started to approach her. "Wha-what are you going to do with me?" Luna asked in fear, "And where's that buff scientist?" The scientist told her that what they would be doing is a secret, and that buff scientist is doing his main job. But before Luna could ask what his main job is, she was put to sleep by sleeping gas...the experimentation has begun.

IC: Kuro's Side
In the time Kuro knew something bad will happen to Luna, he started to feel more crestfallen about what they might do to her. Further experimentation? Removal of gained abilities? FORCE HER WATCH MOVIES ABOUT PREPS?!? He couldn't bare to think about it anymore. All he knows is that somewhere in that 'B floor' that Rose mentioned could be where Luna is. And then came a broken elevator. "I don't have time for this!" he thought in his head. But he knows that impatience will lead him nowhere. So he patiently awaited for the elevator to work...

Hikaru and Espeon

A lot of commotion was going on now, making it difficult to make out much of anything, but Hikaru heard Faust's voice clearly, saying something about leaving. He turned to look back at her, nearly at the same time she turned to him.

"Now we wait for the rest of our crew to come and then we go before they send more guards. Hopefully we can get our pokemon, stuff, and get out of here before they notice too much." (Winter_Cherry quote)

Hikaru nodded, looking down to Espeon, who was busying herself with attacks on a lone guard. His attention shifted to Katt then, and the girl she was talking to. He instantly noticed the Poochyena ears and Pidgeot wings; this girl was an experiment as well.

Despite all that was going on, he turned and called back to her, "Hey, are you looking for something?"

Krystal and Glaceon

"Ice Beam, once more!" Krystal's voice echoed off the the walls around them as she called out another command to her Pokemon.

Glaceon opened her mouth wide, charging up a light blue ball of icy energy, firing it off at the last of the scientists' Pokemon left. Chopper had disappeared somewhere, but she couldn't imagine where to.

The massive black snake crashed into the ground, falling still after a few moments. Krystal shifted her attention to the scientists/guards standing behind the Pokemon, a dark smile on her face. In the palm of her hand, light blue energy began to gather. She faced her attack toward the two as Glaceon lowered herself into a battle stance, charging up a ball of fire at the same time. The two fired their attacks simultaneously, which, when hitting their adversaries at the same time, created a small explosion. Both trainer and Pokemon relaxed then, seeing the guards and scientists lying unconscious on the ground as the smoke cleared.

Glaceon's ears pricked forward, and she took a step in the said direction. She could easily pick up some distant commotion somewhere further along in the halls.

"What is it?" Krystal looked down at her Pokemon, forming a small crystal of ice at her finger tip out of boredom.

"I hear something. Down the hall somewhere," Glaceon looked up to Krystal, "Maybe it's the others?"

"It's a high possibility," Krystal responded, letting the crystal fade away, "We'd better get going. It'd be best to meet up with someone else anyhow; better chances of getting out."

Glaceon nodded, and started down the hall, jumping over the guards, scientists and Pokemon sprawled out in the middle of the hall. Krystal didn't bother to in the least, stepping on the unconscious humans purposely as she followed her Pokemon down the hallway.

[Entei_3000]

"Nothing," Lilly responded. "Just trying to get out. Mind if we come with you?"

"So long as you help!" Katt said, glancing briefly over her shoulder as she crashed into another guard. She wasn't tired, her energy had been held back for two years, at the least. It all had to go somewhere. Right?

~~~

The cell was shining white. So white Lucario could hardly stand it. His trainer, however, couldn't tell if it was bright or not. He didn't even know if it was red or purple, let alone white.

"Lucario?" William said uncertainly.

I'm here. Lucario answered gently. He watched as Will slowly stood up, one hand on the wall, his brown eyes simply stared at the wall, seeing nothing.

"I'm getting out of here," Will said firmly. "I'm sick and tired of this room." He could hear Lucario get to his feet. He followed the wall to the door, then found the doorknob. Lucario stepped over to him as he nervously tried the door. It opened. William stepped out, one hand on the wall outside. Lucario walked right beside him.

Noisy out here, isn't it? Lucario muttered. Will smiled.

"There's prob'ly some sort of fight."

Oh yeah, the scientists are arguing over what they'll do to everyone next.

"Or it could be other experiments, maybe they got out, too," Will followed the wall to the corner. After going on through the halls like this for about five minutes, Will stopped dead. Even though he couldn't see, fear showed plainly in his eyes.

What's wrong? Lucario looked up at him worriedly.

"There are people up ahead," Will murmured, takign a nervous step back.

Alright, calm down. Lucario placed a paw on his trainer's arm. Knowing that whenever his trainer's ability to sense other peoples emotion kicked in, he grew nervous. What do you sense?

"Lots of things," Will answered. "Fear, anger, hatred, some faint traces of joy, sorrow..." Will shuddered. "I can't tell if it's scientist or experiments."

Alright, you stay right there, I'll go take a look. Lucario started forward.

[Grsspkmnmaster]

Rose floated up momentarily, with both hands together, as if gripping the insides of the elevator door, and made a restrained heaving motion, having to deal with the psychic weight of the elevator door. It didn't budge. He strained harder, grunting with effort, and veins began to bulge out of his arm. As it started to move, I jumped inbetween the dorr and the spacing fo the wall, and yelled, "OK! Rose, you can let go!" He slumped back down to the ground, where Aeris was ready to catch him. He looked pale and exhausted. I felt bad for having to exhaust him, but I couldn't use my own strength to get the door open. I braced my feet against the wall and started to push the sliding door towards the left side of the elevator. I got it to about the width of three people, and kept pushing. Aeris' wingspan required the entire door to be opened. I pushed harder, taking one step at a time, grunting and sweating with the effort it took to move the door, which was working against me to shut itself again. After opening it 3/4 of the way, I looked over to Luxio. I said, staggeringly grunting to keep the door open, "I can't ... open it ... anymore ... you need to ... power up the ... elevator so ... we can get in without getting sliced in half. Aeris ... you get in too in case he needs help." Everyone was in, as Rose was still on Aeris, not quite ready to walk yet.

"Ok Luxio, your turn. Use Discharge." Luxio's cheeks crackled, and then a clear electric current went through the panel and the elevator came to life with a weak and ominous groan. I pushed the button for the next floor, but the groaning noise only increased. "There must not be enough power to lift us up! Aeris, use Mirror Move to duplicate the Discharge!' Aeris let Rose sit on the elevator floor, and then she too, let out some energy from her beak, and the elevator groaned some more, but started an abrupt shift upwards. I almost cried from excitement. Once we get to the next floor, nothing sdhould be able to stop us once we get our pokemon! The elevator dinged, and the door started to slide open.

IC: Back at Home...
It was a windy day, Kuro's and Luna's parents agreed to work together with Fatima to gain access to the Oyone region. It wasn't going to be easy, but the only choice they had was to go there illegally. The parents wore the same incognito they wore yesterday. They met Fatima at the hidden side of the experimentation lab.

"You all remember the plan, right?" Indeed they did, it was a simple task after all. Just sneak into the boat, and they're home free. However, it couldn't be that easy, guards and their Pokemon were guarding the boat. The parents decided that Fatima should take no part in this battle if she wants to get on the boat. Fatima hesitated, but then agreed. Kuro's parents sent out their Froslass and Luna's parents sent out their Gengar. Froslass and Gengar were just as witty as their trainers, and they snuck up behind them, and used Denstiny Bond. It affected everyone in that area, especially the guards. Because the guards knew that they shoudn't attack the duo because of the after effect, Froslass and Gengar knocked out each other by using Shadow Ball. Everysingle one was knocked out, and the parents returned their Pokemon to their Pokeballs.

They all ran towards the boat. They hoped that no one could spot them arriving onboard. Unfortunatly for them, they were caught by reinforment guards. Fatima however, knew the art of hiding, and she was able to hide from the guards, but the adults were kicked out of the laboratory grounds.

The boat departed for Oyone...Fatima had to go alone...

More running. Rain was getting tired of running, but It was fortunate that they ran into other experiments. He was worried about Pyre, if anything happened to him, he would never forgive himself. "We aren't dead weight, you know" Rain shouted over his shoulder.
The guards were piling up. The numbers concerned him, but it explained why there were so many experiments. They had the time and resources to spend.
A faint buzzing noise whizzed by, inching closer. "Crap! Tazers!" Rain blocked the quick-moving dart-shaped object, absorbing the electricity. He needed to release it, but it was too tight in this corridor. He lunged at the guard who shot the tazer and released all the excess electricity, his fur calming down. Now he knows what it feels like! Rain thought smugly. "Guys, we need to move, fast! If we stay here too long, there's going to be too much to handle, and I don't think I can handle more than one shot...
Clearly, escaping from the building itself was a whole other matter.

[Silvyre]

OOC: Well, I'm back, that was a short "break". ^^;

IC:
Rose attempted to stand with the little energy he had in him. He was finally able to walk with the help of Luxio, who stabilized him with his powerful body. The Pokemon's coat was still filled with sparks of discharged electricity, and Rose could feel them on his side. He was too weak to send them off, though, so he bore the pain silently. Luxio steadily exited the elevator behind Derek and Aeris.
We're here. The rest... of the team are somewhere on this floor. Rose glanced down at his face and smiled faintly.

"I'm proud we made it this far..."
Me too. Luxio paused to flick his tail. With the help of your freakish powers.
Rose chuckled and grasped Luxio's fur for balance. He figured he would recover soon enough, but he knew that eventually he would need to get used to the overexhaustion of his psychic abilities. They were slowly draining him of his energy and willpower.

"Derek, which room do you think everything's hidden in?" he asked quietly. "Between the two of us, and our two teams, we could easily hold off every guard in this place."
I'm not sure about that, Luxio growled. Suddenly, the Pokemon stopped. Wait, what if this is a trap?

[TeirusuFX]

IC: On the Boat to Oyone...
Fatima was riding on the boat, hoping that no one would catch her presence. She saw many other failed experiments on the boat, as well as some successful ones. They were all kids, that made Fatima feel like these scientists have no soul or compassion. Either way, they were going to a lousy prison. Since these experiments were just new, she knew that asking for resistance wasn't a bold idea, because they have no idea how to use their powers yet.

She devised her own plan, get inside, rescue Kuro and Luna, and get out. As much as she wanted to save every single experiment, she knew she couldn't, that'd be too much for her to handle.

They were about halfway there...

IC: Luna's Side
After a few hours or so, Luna awoken. She felt different somehow, she didn't feel like herself. And she was correct, she awoken stilled restrained to the wall, but not as a human anymore, but a Pokemon. She did't have legs anymore, her Espeon tail is absent, her neck is longer, and she noticed a lime colored triangle on her chest. The scientists completely transformed her to a Latias. It wasn't that perfect though, she was still purple with a lime colored triangle on her chest, while a normal color for a Latias is red with a blue colored triangle on their chest.

She noticed that the scientists were gone, and the box filled with confiscated Pokeballs sitting right there in a dark corner. She didn't know what she could do next, wait?

So she waited for somthing else to happen...

IC: Kuro's Side
B floor at last...

On this floor, he was certain to find Luna, but something caught him up. Kyo stopped him, "Hold it, I sense powerful figures approaching." And right he is, appearing from the end of the hall was Zetta and Rina. They seemed to be fighting over who kills who. And then they finally noticed Kuro. "DID YOU MISS ME?" Zetta said with a toothy smile. "Where's Luna? I have a lesson to teach her meow!" Rina said. Wait a minute, Kuro had no idea Rina was here, her preppiness will definitly destroy him. And she also mentioned 'Where's Luna?', if that was so, then Luna is not on this floor!

The horror! He finally thought he'd be able to see Luna, but no, she had to be on another floor! "Quit with your stalling and come get some!" "I guess that will never change..." Rei sighed.

Faust and Seth

Faust sighed, no one seemed to heard her of Seth, with a roll of her eyes, she reached into the minds of her allies. HEY! Time to roll out and get down to B4 to reclaim our stuff-- before they send more guards! she shouted mentally, then looked over at the other expierament-looking people that had joined them, she lifted Seth into her arms with one smooth motion and sprinted towards Lily and Katt. Shenzii followed her closely, she stopped and stared up at Lily "Friend or foe?" she demanded sharply, Seth hung from Faust's grip calmly, his ears twitching to listen to others and the things around them. not hearing anything other than fighting, he leaned into Fausts side and looked up at Lily as well. "Seeing as we're being chased down, I'd like and answer of my luxray here will fry you and if I remember correctly, electricity hurts flying types pretty badly." she told her.

[Entei_3000]

OOC: I don't know. The movie just made it seem as if it wasn't a legendary.

IC:
Lilly looked at Faust and frowned.

"I'm a friend," Lilly replied. "Do you think I'd really be with those sientist after what they've done to me?"

Katt jumped when she heard Faust's voicei n her head.

"Alright, alright, don't get yourself all in a knot," Katt grumbed, trandofrming into an Umbreon again.

"Which way to everyone's stuff, Faust?" Katt glanced over her shoulder. Lilly flew over to Rain.

~~~

Lucario turned sharply, he skidded to a stop, almost colliding into a girl who was carrying a boy.

Pardon me. Lucario backed away warily, but when he saw what was goign on behind him, he relaxed.

"Oh brilliant, more experiments!" Katt loked at Lucario. "If you're with anyone. Get them over here quick, we're all headed to the storage room."

"Why the storage room?" Will's voice startled Lucario, he looked up, seeing his trainer standing next to him, one hand on the wall.

"Because that's where everyone's stuff is, genius!" Katt answered. She ran over to Hikaru. "Faust and the Jolteon kid are right, we've gotta scoot before this gets worse."

[Grsspkmnmaster]

Luxio growled. Suddenly, the Pokemon stopped. Wait, what if this is a trap?


OOC: Good to have you back. :-)
IC:

Derek

I reacted to the small electric pokemon hesitantly. I didn't see or hear any guards, but they should be around. I looked over to Aeris, "Use Extremespeed around the corridors to see if anyone's around." She flew off in a blinding brown blur, and turned the corner. I looked over at Rose. He was pretty confident once we got our pokemon that we would be just about unstoppable. I frowned. "That depends if our pokemon haven't been experimented on as well. But if they are in good health, we have to hpe that there aren't too many guards left. I mean, we're good, but we can't take on an army with just the two of us." Aeris screeched and came back. "I didn't find any scientists, but I could hear that some other experiments have gotten loose. I don't think they're happy either. I found the storage room too. It's down this hall." I nodded. We started heading that way, I began to sprint, and Aeris flew to keep up with me. Ever since I've been experimented on, I'm stronger, faster ... maybe this isn't so bad ... I looked up at the giant steel door with the letters B4 in the typical army text. I waited for Rose to show up. I heard Aeris groan, "Great. Another challenge."

[Silvyre]

OOC: Heh. Thanks, it's good to be back. ^^

IC:
Rose shifted his weight to his own two feet and attempted to stand again as Luxio tensed his body. He felt much better, and his head was cleared. Maybe there's a waiting period before I can use these powers, he thought, frowning. Sure, whatever. Whatever works.

Luxio watched Aeris fly around the corner and come back screeching. Derek promptly left, expecting them to follow. He looked up at Rose. Recovered? When his trainer nodded, he said, Good. There's no guards here, but I'm thinking there may be some inside the storage room. Just be ready to protect yourself. The Pokemon paused, lowered his head, and growled harshly. I'm not gonna let... what happened to you... it won't happen again. I promise.
Rose nodded and smiled gently. "Don't worry about it, buddy."

Luxio trotted off, nudging Rose forward. The two continued down the hall and to the left, where they found Aeris and Derek... and a huge pair of metal doors, even larger than the elevator they'd found earlier.
Rose sighed, feeling much of the weariness come back to him. "Great. If anyone has a key, speak up now. I'm sure as hell not gonna be able to open these things."

[DarkAmethyst]

Hikaru & Espeon

The blue haired boy winced when Faust mentally shouted to them all, merely nodding to her in response. He'd heard her the first time, and responded already, so he didn't really feel the need to say anything else.

He looked down to Katt then as she spoke, glancing up at the boy and Lucario that had just arrived. He nodded to Katt (lol, Hikaru nods a lot, doesn't he? xD;), finally speaking up.

Right.. We should probably head off to the storage room now, then. If I remember correctly, we're somewhere on either the second or third floor, so we may have to go quickly in order to avoid anymore problems."

"But of course, if someone happens to hinder us for too long, we can always knock 'em out of the way." Hikaru looked to Espeon as she spoke up, a slight grin coming onto his face.

"Of course. But we still need to try and get there as fast as we can, so we can get our Pokemon and stuff back."

Krystal & Glaceon

"C'mon, they're just around the corner; I'm sure of it!" Glaceon raced down the long, narrow hallway, Krystal at her heels.

"Who is 'they'?"

Glaceon rounded the corner, skidding to a stop. Krystal halted abruptly, nearly crashing into (or falling onto) her Pokemon. There before the two of them was a group of people and Pokemon. From the look of the humans, they were all experiments as well. Unconscious guards lay scattered about the hallway, obviously meaning there had been a fight here.

Glaceon ventured forward cautiously, looking around at all of the strangers. She then spotted a familiar Umbreon just a few paces away, and a smile came onto her face.

"Katt!"

Krystal jerked around at the mention of the name, spotting her Pokemon dashing over to an Umbreon on the other side of the group. Naturally, her eyes wandered, and she saw a very familiar Espeon sitting not too far off. She looked up slowly then, freezing in place when she saw the trainer of the two; a blue haired young boy with dark cat-like ears atop his head, which resembled that of a Delcatty or a Skitty. His eyes, which were scanning the group at the current moment, met hers and lingered there as an expression of pure shock came onto his face.

"Krystal...?"

OoC: Eh, I'm too lazy to continue it right now; I'll have 'em hug n' junk in the next post. xP

[TeirusuFX]

OOC
Ima get some of this down and go to sleep -w-

IC: Kuro's Side
Some random voice boomed in the halls. Kuro turned around to see it was Faust. Zetta and Rina also heard it, thinking that they're more of them, and fled towards the end of the hall. He knew they'd come backm but forgot about and walked towards Hikaru and listened.

"Right.. We should probably head off to the storage room now, then. If I remember correctly, we're somewhere on either the second or third floor, so we may have to go quickly in order to avoid anymore problems."

"But of course, if someone happens to hinder us for too long, we can always knock 'em out of the way."

"Of course. But we still need to try and get there as fast as we can, so we can get our Pokemon and stuff back." (quoted from DarkAmethyst)

B floor this was...so this was assumingly the 2nd floor. He couldn't wait to get his Pokemon back, but it wasn't going to be easy with Zetta and Rina guarding the halls. But he didn't feel too motivated to start searching because he knew Luna wasn't on this floor. Maybe later, they'll eventually find Luna...

IC: Oyone Labortory
The boat arrived at the dock, and all the experiments were being forced out to be placed in their cells where they will stay forever more. Fatima checked when the coast was clear, and snuck out. She moved around the lab unoticed, and had no luck on finding either of them. The worst part was now she was lost. And to make things worse, a roaming Haunter caught her presence. The Haunter started to make attention getting noises and in no time, guards appeared from all sides.

Will this be the end for Fatima's plan?

Faust and Seth

Faust smiled and held out her hand with a smile which seemed more like a grimace. "Well then, welcome aboard. Sorry for the nasty greeting, but we've gone too far to get put back in now--you never know..." she let her voice trial off. She put Seth down and he looked back at Hikaru "Sounds reasonable, no one else here has any better ideas." he replied, then tugged on Faust's hand "Let's go!" he urged. Faust nodded and looked to Lily and the new boy with his lucario, and the other boy "Come on, we're getting our things back." she said and walked back to Hikaru.

[Entei_3000]

"It's alright," Lilly smiled, her english accent made her sound friendly, she shook Faust's hand.

"Glaceon!" Katt smiled at the Ice-type. "Krystal! You two are alright!"

Will shifted uncomfortably. He couldn't see anyone, which was the main cause of his unease. He could, of course, sense tht they were there. Just not where they were.

"Which way?" Will asked.

"Whichever way's the B4, I guess," Katt shrugged, she looked up at Will, who was, to her, just staring at the wall. "Something wrong? Or is zoning out like that just a habit?"

"What?" Will turned his head in the direction of Katt's voice, but didn't look directly at her. Which made the Umbreon all the more confused. She decided not to say anything about it. But Lucario answered her curiosity.

He's temproarily blind, due to experiment stuff. Lucario murmured. There is a way to remove it, but we don't know what.

"We'll find something later," Lilly said, picking up Red gently. Katt looked at Red, then at Lilly. "Now, we need to get goin'."

Don't leave without us! Pikachu dashed around the corner. Pantign hard.

"Pikachu!"

Yeah it's me. Pikachu gasped, he looked at Rain. Pyre's somewhere behidn me, I think. Not too far behind, though.

[Enkaku_Kumori]

"Hey!!" Chibi shouted at the others. "Are we going to stand around all day talking about getting our stuff back or are we actually going to go and do it?!" She paused a moment to let it sink in. "Or am I the only one that bothered to ask for directions to this B4 place?" She added as an afterthought.

"I think you were." Vyala said, cocking her head.

Chibi sighed loudly and dramatically. "Follow me everyone." She said in a deadpan bored voice. She turned on her heel as she did so, striding away from the group as if she knew completely where she was going. Vyala and Zyrvia followed behind her.

(OOC: I've heard way too many "time to get our stuff back" for my liking XD)

[Entei_3000]

"We're coming!" Lilly called. "Rain, you ready?"

"Hikaru?" Katt looked up at her trainer. Will stepped forward slowly. Lucario stepped beside him. Lilly looked at Will.

"Do you need any help?"

"No, I'll be OK," Will said. Lucario rolled his eyes. Lilly kept her gaze on him for a moment longer, then turned to follow Chibi. Lucario led Will. Katt waited for Hikaru and Espein.

[Grsspkmnmaster]

"Great. If anyone has a key, speak up now. I'm sure as hell not gonna be able to open these things."


Derek

I sighed. There wasn't an easy way to open these doors, unlike forcing the elevator doors open. I spoke softly, "I don't have a key. And short of obtaining a bazooka, I don't see a way to get these doors open. Only a Fire type could melt through the doors, or a Ghost could phase through and open it on the other side ... but we don't have access to anything like that." I walked up to the door, and slammed my fist against it in frustration. I looked at the barely visible dent I left behind. The door had to have been several inches, if not feet deep, and the metal was firmly supported. There was no way in without breaking the door or finding a key card. And the guards were nowhere in sight. There is no way in ... I looked over at Rose, "I guess this is where we pack up and leave. We don't have any way inside, and I don't think any of the guards we could find have the key for the door. Any ideas?"

[TeirusuFX]

OOC
Okay, I'm getting confused about the storyline, so I'm just going to drift off for a while...

IC: Inside the Oyone Labortory
Fatima had no idea what action she should take, but now was not the time to think, but to act. She jumped very high above the guards' heads, and used Extremespeed to run away at a blazing speed. She continued to run until she thought she was far enough. When she was far enough, she was going to stop, but didn't notice a door in her way. She slammed the door and broke it...

IC: Luna & Fatima meet
Luna noticed that the door was broke down. She thought with that kind of a noise that she was going to be rescued by Kuro, but all she saw was a Lucario. Fatima dusted herself and stood, she observed the room a noticed a purple Latias restrained to the wall. She thought about the tortures the scientists did to her to make her appear like that, and then she spoke up, "May I ask for your name?" Luna took the time to notice that the Lucario was an adult female because of her voice...and that voice sounded familiar somehow, "Ummm, my name is Luna, Luna Hikari. May I ask for your name?" Fatima had no idea that Luna was hanging right in front of her the whole time, "My name is Fatima, I've come to help you and Kuro escape from the place." Fatima...a familiar name Luna thinks she recognizes, and she said that she would help Kuro, which means she might know where he is! Fatima already read the look on Luna's face and replied, "No, I haven't found Kuro yet I'm afraid." Sadness randomly entered Luna's heart, she thought she could be able to see him again, another hoax. "Let me help you out of these." Luna felt her arms being unrestrained, she saw her very slim arms and her claws, these felt nothing like human arms and fingers. She also noted that she was levitating, but she already knew that was a Latias' one and only ability. She floated next to the box filled with Pokeballs. She found that none of them belonged to her, but found all of Kuro's Pokemon. She could tell because Kuro places stickers on his Pokeballs. The only problem is that she can't carry them. Fatima knew what Luna was doing and searched the room. She found a leather bag and handed it to Luna. Luna couldn't carry them out of the box because her claws are unable to grab things, so she used her psychokinetic powers to place them in the bag. Fatima carried the bag over her shoulders and signalled Luna to depart the room.

It was time to find Kuro...

IC: Kuro's Side
Kuro noticed that he was being dragged away from the group. His shirt was being pulled from behind and no one in the group noticed his absense, not even Rei and Nami. He looked behind him to see who was dragging him. It was some buff scientist. "You're coming with me boy." Only 10 hours passed since Kyo's control, so he couldn't use that, and he felt too lazy to do any type of resistance. So Kuro allowed the buff scientist to drag him to wherever. They approached an elevator and entered. The scientist pressed the button that read A floor. The elevator opened and the scientist allowed Kuro to walk if he doesn't run away. Kuro agreed no to, but the only reason why was because being the sensible teen he is, he was too lazy to run at all. They arrived to a room, the room next to it seemed to have a broken door. The scientist told him, "Stay put, I'm going to investigate this area." Kuro decided not to listen to him this time and peeked through the glass window. He saw a box of Pokeballs, but none of them seemed to be his. He saw the scientist walk back and quickly dashed back to his original spot. "It seems we're missing a test subject, 4 Pokeballs, and my leather bag. Now all that aside, enter please." Kuro entered, the room seemed to be in the same fashion as the other room, except this one was more luxurious. He saw another box of Pokeballs in this room. In that box, he saw Luna's Pokeballs. He could tell because Luna only use Luxury Balls on her Pokemon.

The scientist called him, "Would you mind laying down on the table?" "Only if you don't restrain me." "If you don't resist in any way, I won't have to." Kuro admired his friendliness, but also felt suspicious about it. He laid on the table. The scientist shut the door. "So, whatcha going to do doc?" "Perfect you." The scientist used sleeping gas on Kuro and he fell asleep. What the scientist didn't know was that Kuro gainned an immunity to sleeping gas after the first intoxication, but Kuro fell asleep on his own, he felt sleepy anyways.

So why didn't Kyo show any resistance? He was sleeping the whole time.

IC: Rei & Nami
The two still haven't noticed Kuro's dissappearance. They were busy running with the group to find the door with their stuff in it.

Rain shook the blank stare off his face. "Yeah, I can make this run, if it means we can get payback" He grinned. Pyre came up behind him, and he looked tired. Rain picked him up gently and jogged of to keep up with everyone. The group was getting big, compared to the four that Lilly, he and their pokemon summed up to. He wanted to talk with one of them, and Lilly looked comfortable with talking to some old friends, but Rain just held back and kept running. Pyre looked up at him. "You're so anti-social" He said playfully. "Well, I wasn't asking for your opinion anyways... I'm just waiting for a good moment to start up a conversation" He defended. Pyre was so invasive, he wondered why he was even carrying him anymore. "I don't think running from all the scientists and trying to break through, would be a nice time to say 'Oh, hey, my name is Rain, what's your name?' While we're all fighting for our freedom, is it?
Rain sighed. He hated it when other people were right.

[DarkAmethyst]

Hikaru & Krystal

Hikaru turned to look back at Chibi as she yelled to them all, watching her turn on her heel and start off. Katt's voice came from his side then, and he looked down to her, his ears twitching as they picked up all of the different sounds around him.

"Right, right. I'm coming," he started forward, but was stopped suddenly when someone hugged him tightly from behind.

"I'm so glad you're okay," Krystal's voice came from behind him, and he was released. He smiled and turned to face the older girl.

"Same.. I thought I'd never see you again."

Krystal looked around at all of the other experiments around them. "So what's going on?"


"We found out earlier that our Pokemon and stuff are located in the storage room on B4; we're all heading out to find it." Hikaru looked back to Katt at his side, nodding forward as he started after Chibi. Under normal circumstances, he would have focused more on his reunition with Krystal, but they didn't really have time right now.

Glaceon and Espeon trotted silently ahead, following after the Vulpix-girl, with Hikaru not too far behind. Krystal gave a small sigh and start after them as well.

OoC: Sorry about the suckish post. I'm braindead, and currently fighting over the keyboard with one of my cousins. xD; If I forgot anyone or anything, let me know.

[Silvyre]

Rose watched Derek smash the doors, and while originally he would've thought the impact to hurt his hand, he abruptly realized that Derek was part Pokemon. He frowned deeply and lowered his head, gazing at Luxio.

"Any ideas?" said Derek tiredly.
There's nothing we can do, Luxio growled miserably. Face it. It's useless.
Rose suddenly felt the urge to scream. "So that means we're gonna stop here? Are you serious?" he cried angrily. His clenched fists trembled. "I mean, come ON! We can't just leave now that we've come this far. I mean, I already said that, but it can't be just a pair of stupid metal doors that's scaring you off. I barely survived the journey, and... and... uhh... wow..."
Gradually lowering his voice, Rose realized that Derek's dent in the first door was getting bigger. Somehow, it was growing, and both he and Luxio had noticed it. The dent twisted and darkened and deepened, wildly banging its invisible arms on the door.

They watched as the dent, like Rose's voice, gradually lost its power. Soon, it was nothing more than a massive, inch-deep cavity in the door. It looked like the aftermath of some furious Regigigas smashing its arm into the metal.

What was... Luxio snarled, his ears raised and coat electrified. Then he glanced at Rose, who was staring back at him, the color drained from his face. Luxio settled. Oh, it was you, huh? Spontaneously making a hole in the door? And with that, it's probably a few inches thick, or more. The Pokemon's tail waved and flicked excitedly. Maybe we can do this.
"I think we can." Rose looked at Aeris and Derek with a hopeful grin. Fully recovered, the boy felt strengthened and ready for anything.

[Entei_3000]

Katt took off after Hikaru, she paused only for a second to look at WIlliam and Lucario.

"You sure you both will be OK?"

Lucario looked at William, who hadn't moved.

"I'll be fine."

Will, seriously, you're blind! Walking through hallways takes you twenty minutes!

"Well if you have anything to suggest, I'd like to hear it," Will snapped. "Like maybe something to get rid of this blindness? I know whoever was in the cell next to us told you how to get rid of it when the scientists took me away." Lucario hesitated. Yes, he had been told how to help Will get his eyesight back. But.... it could be dangerous.

"We don't have time for chit-chat, folks!" Lilly said, hurrying Katt along, she looked at Will. "I'll help you down the halls."

"I'll take Red with me, then," Katt said. Lilly gently set Red on Katt's back.

"Hold on, Red," Katt hurried down the hall to catch up with her trainer. Lilly flew over to William, who shrank back when her wings brushed against him.

"Don't worry," Lilly said gently. "C'mon, I might have to fly you down the halls." Will hesitated. "I've got an idea," Lilly knelt down, her back facing Will. "Climb on my back and I'll fly you. It'll be faster. Your Pokemon can run on ahead." WIll didn't like this idea much, but what else could he do?

Lucario helped Will, then ran on ahead. Lilly flew off. Will hung on tight.

[Grsspkmnmaster]

Derek

This boy fails to keep things normal. After I had left my measly dent in the doors, he had psychically added another good inch to the dent that I had placed on the door. Aeris and I watched in awe as the door had grown its gash, and in surprise, hadn't said asnythign for a while. Rose asked about us being ready to keep going. He looked more lively all of a sudden, even though the massive attack on the door had spent most of his energy. I looked down at Luxio, and then up at Aeris. I pondered how to include the two of them in our next attack on the massive door.

While I was thinking in the background of my mind, I looked at Rose. "Sorry for that negative outburst. I'll give the door another try though. Maybe a nice Brick Breaker will do more than randomly punching the door. What do you think?" I looked over Luxio and Aeris while I waited for a response. I was thinking about all of the moves that I knew Aeris knew, and how they could form combos with what Luxio could know. I then remembered one fight that Crush had to go through against a Luxio. One move called Charge Beam ... I asked Luxio, "Luxio, do you know Charge Beam? A strong move like that could raise the heat of the door enough the Aeris, Rose, and I can pummel through it easier. And Aeris could use Sky Attack on it too. That would weaken the door by a longshot."

[Winter_Cherry]

Faust and Seth

Seth looked at Will on Lily's back and smiled "If you'd like to stay on the ground, I'll lead you. I don't have much else I can do without hurting myself." he offered, Faust looked down at him sadly "Don't say that, kid. We all need to be positive." she said softly, then nodded as Chibi yelled. "Yeah yeah, I hear you, as for asking, I shouldn't need to-it's just easier to do seeing as the alternative requires a bit of paitence--which as you can probably tell, I don't have." she replied.

[Enkaku_Kumori]

Vyala let out a rasping bark of a laugh. "Oh I know how that feels!" She said in amusement.

"Shutup," Chibi snapped, trying not to smile. She led the way down the halls, not bothering to see if she was being followed or not. She only knew that Vyala and Zyrvia flanked her sides, Zyrvia was looking back and forth for any signs of danger, hissing at irregular intervals.

"Lesseeeee..." Chibi trailed off, "C7...C6...C5...Huh, too many C's. Ah there were go! B section!" She had turned into another corridor,, the doors all labeled with Bs and their numbers. "B4! Over there!"

[Entei_3000]

"I'm, I'm alright, for now," Will said after a minute. "But thanks for the offer, anyways."

Katt heard Chibi's cry.

"Now we're talkin'!" Katt ran up to Chibi, skidding to a stop. She panted as she looked up at the door. Lucario stopped next to her, as did Lilly's pikachu. Lilly came next.

"Hope it's not locked," Lilly said.

"If it is, we'll have no problem breakin' it down," Katt tossed her head in a defiant way.

[Silvyre]

OOC: Just wondering, does that large group of people see Rose, Derek, Luxio, and Aeris by B4? They're standing there wondering how to open the doors, heh.

IC:
Luxio tilted his head and snorted. Doesn't sound hard, I suppose. Charge Beam? With no further warning, the Pokemon stepped forward and let loose a concentrated Discharge on the doors. To Rose's surprise, he kept up with it. He was practicing, and on his own.
Rose turned to Derek, pleased that he was coming up with a strategy. The two were like a team now - Derek with the brains, Rose with the random bursts of energy. "Yep, it's no problem. We all get those, especially when you're trapped in some massive, quarantined building..." Glancing at Luxio, Rose gazed downward blankly. "Like me. But now, I think we can really do this."

So, this is harder than I thought, Luxio growled as he turned back to them. He was panting lightly. But I think I got it. He faced the massive steel doors and electrified his fur coat. Sparks flew and Luxio bent his neck, suddenly roaring. A perfectly aimed beam of electricity hit the spot where Derek and Rose had made a dent in one of the doors. Rose grinned with satisfaction for Luxio.

Suddenly, Luxio's ears pricked. He heard voices.
"...not locked."
"If it is, we'll have no problem breakin' it down."
A girl and a Pokemon. Luxio backed up, never turning his head from the noise. Though they sounded friendly enough, he couldn't trust that they weren't enemies.

Once more, Luxio cried out, a booming growl-like roar. It reverberated and danced down the hall, echoing so that the sound lasted for some time after the Pokemon was silent.

Derek

I looked down at Luxio with approval. I was starting to like the small pokemon, even though I hadn't gotten along with Electric-types in my past. I looked at the door, which started to glow a very faint red, like the color of a coal just about to go out. I sized up the next punch which I would let loose, hopefully in a key spot of the door's weakness. I smirked, and let my fist fly. I thought about as much power I could let through my arms, and I felt my fist connect with the warm steel. I felt my fist work through the steel as much as I could, until I was pushing with both hands and all of my strength. I looked at the steel, and saw that through all of my work had produced another inch of the door's thick rampartious steel to recede.

"Aeris, use Mirror Move again, to copy Luxio's Charge Beam. Rose, you're turn to break down the door with me. I think with both of us, we can get it down this time. On three." Aeris let a bolt of pure white electric energy flow from her beak, and I counted. "One ... Two ..." I looked over at Rose.

"Open sesame. THREE!"

"Guys," Will said suddenly, carefully sliding off Lilly. "There are others near here, and I didn't know that because of the roar."

"What, you've got a great sense of smell?" Katt turned, she barked in response to the growl-like roar, hopefully she would sound friendly. No use making enemies when they already had enough.

D'you sense anything from them? Lucario looked up at his trainer.

"A little, but I can't tell what," William answered. Lilly looked at the younger boy in confusion. Lucario looked at her.

Those scientists gave my trainer the ability to sense others' emotions. That's how we found you all.

"That'd come in handy," Katt said.

[Silvyre]

"One... two..."

Rose looked hesitantly from Luxio to Derek and his Fearow, working hard to weaken the doors so that he could do the final damage. But Luxio was not relaxing even after his warning growl.

Luxio heard a faint bark, coming from all the way down the hallways. Suddenly, he saw figures. Without thinking, the Pokemon burst down the hall toward them, waving his tail in curiousity. He was intrigued by the gentle voice he'd heard; that was a first since his being in the building. It was a different sound, unlike the strange and frightening noises of the guards and their Pokemon... like it had gone through what he and Rose had gone through. It must be... Luxio hummed softly. Don't worry, I'll be back.

Rose turned his full attention to helping Derek. He quickly gathered his all the telekenetic energy he knew he had in his mind. Trying to focus with utmost care, he lifted his hands, palms facing down. His head started to ache in a familiar way, but he could pay it no mind now. Closing his eyes and clenching his teeth in agony, Rose turned his wrists inward so that both his palms faced each other. The door, being pummeled by both Aeris and Derek, slowly began to implode. Its hinges broke and disintegrated, and dents appeared everywhere on the two doors. The weakened metal twisted and deformed with shrieks and groans.

But just as Rose thought he was going to finally break the steel away, he lost it. Every scrap of psychic power he'd focused and carefully controlled on blasting the doors suddenly disappeared into nothingness. His mind felt numb.
"AAGHH!" he screeched, dropping his hands to his knees. Blood pounding in his ears, he gasped for breath and collected himself. He raised his upper body toward them, but couldn't find himself to look directly at Derek.

"Ugh, I'm sorry... I... don't think I can." Rose bit his lip hard and shook his head.

[Grsspkmnmaster]

Derek

As Rose let loose an incredible amount of psycich energy, I pummelled on the door with most of my strength. I was reserving myself in case the door didn't break on this cause. I saw the metal in the center of the door twisting, as if an invisible hand had come thruogh and stirred up the metal like water, and it was still spinning with the noise of nails on chalkboard, as every mote of its existence went against our efforts. I saw Rose collapse, and he began to apologize for not getting the door open. I looked over at the door, and saw that it was much thinner than before, as if all of the legends had come and taken a turn battering at it. I smiled.

I helped Rose up, and almost bit through my lower lip from avoiding laughing. I pointed at the key points of the door where the hinges had once been. They had been gathered into a pile of iron shavings on the bottom of the door. I looked at Rose, supporting his weight on my shoulder. "Don't worry. You did the most work. I can take it from here." I looked up at the hinges, which had been dissolved. That meant that right now, the door wasn't hanging from the hinges like before. It was now resting on the floor, and I could already see my plan in the back of my mind coming to motion. I put my arms up against the door, and began to push, now using every bit of toned muscle in my body, pushing, and I felt the door begin to creak forward. I pushed more, and felt every vein in my body begin to bulge, and the sweat began to drip down my sleek build. I continued to push, and thought to myself, This is it. Rose has given up his body twice for me. Now its my turn to repay the favor. I pushed harder, almost feeling the doro about to fall over, it just needed another inch, but my strength was fading quickly. The door must have beem some 600 punds of steel. Before the exerimentation, I couldn't have dreamed of being able to push over that kind of weight. Now I was pushing, and the door was almost there. I let out an inhuman battle cry, as my muscles were on fire, and sweat was now pouring down my body, after ten minutes of struggling against the ridiculous weight. I felt the door push, and fell away from the door as it began its gentle fall down to Earth as gravity called it down.

Time slowed down.

The door was falling in midair.

I was running away from the massive steel bastion, helping Rose along as I did.

The door hit the ground.

An ominous leaden ringing noise occurred as it hit the bottom.

The ringing lasted, threatening to warn the very heavens that we had broken free of our bonds.

The ringing faded, as if the guards it so desperately called were elsewhere, not replying to the call.

The hall was silent for several minutes, the only noise being Rose and I breathing heavily, as exhaustion began to fade into our frail bodies.

"Told you. I guess that means we can claim our stuff and get out of here now, right?"

[Silvyre]

OOC: woot! Go Derek! 8D

IC:
Rose, in his trivial state of overexhaustion, felt himself being suddenly heaved up. It was Derek. They were moving. And then he saw it - the immense, unbreakable steel collapsed to the ground, creating an earsplitting crash as they fell. Rose shut his eyes and turned away, the sound paining his already weary ears. He then realized that Derek, not he, had finished off the breaking of the doors. With that, Derek had saved Rose from being inevitably smashed to the ground under the falling doors' weight.

Rose took a minute to, once again, collect himself. After he felt ready and re-energized, he stood away from Derek and nodded his head. He grinned crookedly, looking like a fool, but still overjoyed that they had finally done it.
Derek turned to him and said, "Told you. I guess that means we can claim our stuff and get out of here now, right?"
Rose chuckled with exasperation. "Yup. Finally, we're almost out of this place..." He paused, sighing. "And, thanks. A lot."

Rose smiled faintly and called for Luxio. When he found that the Pokemon was no longer present, Rose whirled around. "Where are you? What... what happened?"
Suddenly, he recalled a faint voice in his head. A familiar voice. I'll be back, don't worry...

[Entei_3000]

Katt looked down the hall again, seeing a Luxio approach. Katt turned to face the Pokemon, she tried to stay calm.

"Who're you?" She asked cautiously. She winced when she heard noises coming furtehr down the hall.

"What was that?" Will asked form behind.

"No idea," Lilly replied warily. "But whatever made it the noise, I hope it's friendly."
