Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I'm good! So, any unexpected visitors today?" Maddy looked around as if hoping to see someone.

"By 'unexpected visitors' you mean Steven, riiight? Aw, it's puppy love!" Sammy said in her most sarcastic voice, while still weeping for the loss of the penny... He was a good friend. crying

"Mmm-hmm. Okey-dokey. Hey, does anyone wanna have a poke war?" Sammy asked, already beginning to sharpen her fingernails... WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE MR. PENNY WHO DIED?! gonk gonk crying crying

Ginji: PHYSICS DENIES YOU! *he stammers as he throws a big book of physics at the ceiling. The book bounces off and hits Ginji in between the eyes. He promptly falls to the floor in pain.*

*Somewhere far below the seas of Hoenn, Archie was sitting at a business table, located in a meeting room deep within Tsunami's MegaSub. While he sat at the broadest, most lavish chair at the end of the table, he was accompanied by five others. All of them were seated along the edges of the table, and all of them had an eerie resemblance to Team Aqua's tier one ranks.*
Archie: *Nods to two figures standing at the door, Shelly and Matt, to exit the board room. They do so, and Archie clears his throat.* I never thought I'd see the day, but here I sit with an offer for the members of Team Clone.

*One of the five, the young man who resembled Brian, looked over at Archie*
Brian's Clone: You've given it thought?
Archie: Yes, I have. And even though you all carry the DNA of whom I hate the most, you carry something they do not have. A certain technology.
Ike's Clone: *Looks around the table* If you mean the Kyogre Jet, the Legendary Brill-
Archie: I have no need for a Jet. And as for your Brilliance Gang... Amarube and Yura are under my custody.
Brian's Clone: We know. We've had countless Gang members thinking we know something about their where abouts. It's been four days.
Archie: Which is why it would be in your best interest to accept my offer.
Hunter's Clone: What would that be?
Archie: To join the ranks of Team Tsunami. With my resources and your wits, Team Aqua won't stand a chance.
Thard's Clone: What's the catch.
Archie: All I ask is that you share with Tsunami your cloning technology. *Grins*
Ike's Clone: *Looks at the other clones* This seems reasonable.
Thard's Clone: What would you want with our cloning abilities?
Archie: *Although he admits his purpose for wanting the cloning technology, it isn't the main reason why he wants it.* Out there somewhere, The Legendary Brilliance Gang is searching frantically for this submarine. Their fools, yes, but smart fools. They know we have Amarube and Yura captive on board. *Stands from the table and walks around, behind the Clones.* If I were to just let them go, they would take my money away. But if I were to control them...
Brian's Clone: We only have the technology to clone people and pokemon, not make them slaves.
Archie: *Looks sharply at Brian's Clone.* You must of some brains in that head of yours, boy! Amarube and Yura wouldn't listen to me, but their clones would!
Ike's Clone: You want us to make you an Amarube/Yura Puppet to lead the Brilliance Gang?
Archie: Exactly. *Grins. Now that he'll have control over the Legendary Brilliance Gang, nothing is impossible for him. It is only a matter of time before he will flood the world.*

Sammy walked into the lobby, Squirt by her side. Vixen and Troy were around somewhere, training. "Afternoon aquans!" She called. Her head faced the floor as she approached the coffee table, looking at the 'grave stone'. "We all loved Mr. Penny... *Sniff*" Squirt just looked on. He didn't really care about the penny; it hadn't tasted too good.

Sammy thought for a minute, a bit disturbed by that thought. "Oh boy... Poor penny; he's been through so much... crying So, what's up?" Sammy sat on the floor, while Squirt thrust himself under the couch for no appearant reason.
