Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ice looks around and sees Machamp taking Brian to sick bay. "Hope that due will be alright".

Mode: Would you prefer the Grimer to still be on you?
*Mode then senses where Deryx is*
Mode: Deryx is currently doing something very foolish.

Troy looked at Mode, "What do you mean, were did he go?" Troy kept staring at Mode waiting for an answer.

Totodile and Deryx continued swimming downwards, looking for the meteor underwater. Totodile lokked around as well, Deryx looked left to right looking for it franticly, or for Hunter.

Troy shook his head, "Idiot, im going to kill him when he gets back." Troy went into the TV room and sat in a chair.


Deryx had given up after awhile, and decided he would come back another time with some one else, he waded in the water, returned Totodile, let out Notty and used teleport to bring them back to the base, Deryx returned Notty and walked back into base, dripping wet.

"Incubation isn't going to stop me from pursuing that a** first thing tomorrow morning..." She sat down in a nearby tree and looked up at the stars.

She slowly drifted off to sleep. Piplup burst out of his Pokeball and sat on her shoulder, falling asleep against her head.

Mission: Road Coma (MaddyMage Only)

After looking into your memory, I discovered the license plate of the car that hit you. I tracked the plate number to a guy who lives in Lilycove, the coordinates should be on your TADS. You can go ask him for your Pokemon back, but most likely he will not give them back without a fight, so you may need to use one of the team's Snag Machines.

(He has sold/given away all but 1 of your Pokemon to different people)

Pokemon:
One of the Pokemon that was stolen from you.

Opposition:
1 Man with 3 Pokemon (1 on them being your own)

Rewards:

Maddy woke up early the next morning, raring to go. Waking up Mankey, Piplup and Pichu from their deep sleep, she took her TADS out of her pocket and brought up the coordiantes. The man lived in the very heart of Lilycove. Getting on her bike, she set off towards Lilycove.

The trip took a few days. First she had to get to the harbor, which was about half a days trip. Then, it turned out the boat she had needed wasn't there, so she had to rent a room at the local inn and wait. Early next morning, the boat arrived and she was the first person on board.
She leant on the railing of the boat, overlooking the sea. Piplup sat on the railing next to her, chirping happily. The sun was just starting to rise, starting off as a little patch of gold on the horizon and then spread into the entire ocean, making the sea shimmer.
"Good thing we're nowhere near that meteor, right, Piplup?" She glanced over at the tiny blue penguin, he was watching the sunrise as well. He chirped in agreement.
She sighed and turned her back on the sunrise. I'm about to be reunited with at least one of my lost Pokemon. I wonder if they'll remember me?
They sat there in silence for the whole trip, Mankey and Pichu eventually came and sat on either side of Piplup.

Hours passed and the boat finally docked at Lilycove. It was around midday now. Taking out her TADS, Maddy brought up the exact location of the man who stole her Pokemon. It wouldn't be to long now before she would meet him. Getting on her bike once again, she rode off towards the heart of Lilycove.
After about five minutes, she came to a stop in front of a rather maginificent-looking house. Her TADS beeped in response, this was the house she was looking for.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say this guy stole Pokemon for a living. He must sell them too, by the look of it. I wonder if hitting people with cars was always on the agenda, though?" She walked up to the house and, because of the circumstances, decided to just walk on in instead of being polite and knocking.
The inside of the house wasn't as magnificent as the outside. It was rather dusty and dark in there, a few dim candles were set on stands, giving the place an eerie sort of atmosphere.
Admist the silence came the sound of footsteps. Maddy jumped when she heard a voice call, "I see we have a visitor. Didn't I see you before?"
She looked up to see a man, maybe in his mid-thirties, staring down at her from the top of a set of stairs.
"I'm here to get my Pokemon back!" Maddy's voice echoed throughout the mansion, indicating how empty the place truely was.
"Oh, you're that girl I hit with a car only a few months ago. You had some pretty good Pokemon on you." The man added, "Too bad I sold them all."
Maddy's temper was rising. "You... WHAT?!"
The man merely ignored her words. "I see you got some more young Pokemon with you." He eyed Piplup, Pichu and Mankey. "I challenge you to a battle. If you win, I might try and find one of your former Pokemon for you. But if you lose, all of your Pokemon belong to me."
She didn't think about her answer. This man stole all of her Pokemon. If she couldn't get her Pokemon back, then she might as well beat this guy into a pulp. "I accept!"
The man was the first to act. He sent out Treecko. Maddy sent her Mankey after this one.
"Treecko! Use Pound!" The man's voice rang with mock enthusiasm as Treecko lashed forward and slammed Mankey with its fist.
"Mankey! Mega Punch!"
Mankey jumped forwards, with almost blinding speed, and hit Treecko with a power-packed punch. Treecko flew backwards, knocked off its feet. Despite the heavy damage recieved, it got back up, ready to fight.
"Treecko, use Slam!"
Running forward, Treecko used its tail this time to execute a perfectly accurate Slam attack. Mankey growled lowly as he got back on his feet after being knocked backwards. He was trembling with fury, and that seemed to be what was fueling him now.
"Mankey! Use Mega Kick!"
Mankey kicked Treecko with all he could muster. The extremely powerful attack was critical and knocked Treecko out. The man returned Treecko.
"No matter. Mudkip can deal with this situation easily." He tossed a Pokeball and out came a Mudkip. Mankey glared at the Mudkip, panting heavily. That Mega Kick had taken a lot of his energy.
With a smirk on his face, the man said, "Mudkip! Take that Mankey out with Hydro Pump!"
The high-powered attack did exactly as commanded. Mankey fainted and Maddy was forced to return him. She sent out Pichu in his place.
"Pichu! Use Thunderbolt!"
A steady torrent of electricity flew from Pichu's small body and engulfed Mudkip with incredible power. Mudkip was still on its feet, even after the blow, it must've had more endurance than Treecko.
"Mudkip! Give that mouse a taste of your HYdro Pump!"
Pichu was knocked back into the wall. It fell to the floor. Despite the type advantage, that attack did heavy damage. Pichu staggered to her feet, sparks flying from her cheeks.
"Pichu! Use THunder Wave!"
The attack paralyzed Mudkip without trouble.
"Mudkip! Use another Hydro Pump! NOW!"
Mudkip was too paralyzed to move.
"Pichu! Finish off Mudkip with Thunderbolt!"
Mudkip collapsed, the electric attack had pushed it as far as it could go in terms of health. The man recalled Mudkip, he was starting to sweat now, he could see loss staring him in the face. He reached into his pocket and took out one last Pokeball.
"Well look here. It seems I sold all your Pokemon... but one. Combusken! Come on out!"
A Combusken leapt from the Pokeball with little excitement. It's eyes brightened up as it spotted Maddy but it didn't dare show it in front of its 'master'. Maddy recognized this Combusken at once, it really was hers. Here was proof that her Pokemon had been stolen.
"Combusken! Use Slash!"
Pichu was caught unaware by the powerful blow and was knocked off her feet, she didn't get back up. Recalling Pichu to her Pokeball, Maddy brought out Piplup.
"Piplup! Use Hydro Pump!"
Combusken braced itself for the powerful blast of water. The damage dealt was truely great, but Combusken was a much more powerful Pokemon compared to Piplup, it would take more than that to defeat it.
"Combusken! Use Sky Uppercut!"
Piplup was blasted into the air by the vicious attack, the blow had been critical. Even so, Piplup was back on his feet.
"Piplup! Use another Hydro Pump!"
It was an eye for an eye. Piplup's Hydro Pump was critical as well. Combusken staggered backwards, a bit stunned.
"Come on, you stupid Pokemon! Use Dynamic Punch and take that penguin out!"
Combusken went in for what seemed to be the finishing blow, but the amount of power it was trying to use caused the attack to be very inaccurate and it hit the floor next to Piplup, there was a crater in the floor where the attack had hit.
"Piplup! Combusken's left itself wide open! Use Brine!"
Piplup fired a jet of water at Combusken, the attack blast it off its feet because of the increase in power. Maddy slipped a Great Ball into the Snag Machine attached to her hand. It began charging.
"Combusken! Use Slash!"
Piplup was knocked back by the attack. He was running out of strength, if Maddy didn't catch Combusken soon, they'd lose.
"I'm not losing anymore Pokemon to you!"
The Snag Machine clicked, it was fully charged. Maddy flicked the Great Ball at Combusken with full force, Combusken was sucked inside the ball.
Shake.
Maddy was the one sweating now. She couldn't afford to lose.
Shake.
The man could only watch, he couldn't do anything to free Combusken.
Shake.
Piplup was getting increasingly tired. He was about to faint.
... Ding!
Maddy walked over and picked up Combusken's Pokeball. She had successfully retrieved one of her precious Pokemon. The man fell backwards, completely taken aback by his loss.
With a look of triumph on her face, Maddy recalled Piplup and left the mansion, leaving the man to sit there on his own dusty floor.
Maddy headed to the Pokecenter and got all her Pokemon fully revived, then left on the boat. She watched as the sun started to set, a huge orb of gold being sucked back into the horizon. All 4 of her Pokemon sat next to her, watching the sunset. Maddy just smiled and rested her head on her hands, feeling extremely tired after all of this.

Pokemon Caught: Combusken
Mission: Completed!

*Hunter sees a faint red glow ahead. As he gets closer, it becomes brighter. He breaks into a run, thinking this could be his escape. Just before he falls off a cliff into a river of lava, he catches himself. The cave continues on the other side of the cliff, but Hunter doesn't know if he has enough energy to jump across. He hasn't had anything to drink for the past 24 hours, and is extremely dehydrated. He quickly makes up his mind to jump. Hunter takes a few steps back, then rushes forward and jumps. He lands on the edge of the cliff and slips backwards, plummeting down to the river*
