Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Mawile snarls and it's large maw snaps in Dark's direction.
"Oooh feisty aren't ya? Good, sissy Pokemon aren't my style."
Dark lunges towards Mawile, a flame covered fist clenched, ready to hit the pokemon. Mawile then rapidly flies towards Dark, hitting him with a Sucker Punch. Both Dark and Mawile take heavy damage from the hit and spiral backwards. Mawile lands on it's feet while Dark skids backwards.
"What the..?! How come dark moves hurt so much...?"
He shrugs it off and jumps to his feet, ready to continue.
Dark then rushes towards Mawile, repeating the same action only instead using Thunder Punch.
Dark's fist collides with the steel pokemon and knocks it over, paralyzing it.
"Good, it's stunned. That should make capturi-"
Dark's boasting is cut off by a sharp Iron Head to the ribs. The attack sends Dark flying into the wall, literally. He limps slightly, as his soul exits the stone.
"Ugh... Without my body I'm far more vulnerable than I thought..."
He then grabs the pokeball Reaper gave him from his pocket and stares at Mawile. Mawile is panting hard and twitching from the electricity eminating from it's body. Dark throws the ball and it connects to the pokemon.
Blip

Ding!
"Alright! I caught Mawile!"
Dark walks over and picks up the pokeball. He nods at the ball in content and looks over at Reaper, waiting.

Arekku is back at the island and heading into the caves at a frightening speed, Aro tries to slow down and manages but very little, wings hit wall and the both stummble in. "Haha, thanks Aro!' He says returning the pokemon, "Alright, now where'd they go... I guess I should have sent a massage. he pulls out his TADS and sends amassage to both Dark and Reaper, the message reads:

Hey guys! sorry I had to take off like that, I'm back and noticed that the Flash is gone so are you still in the cave?
Arekku.

He waits for a reply, hoping that they are still there.

*looks at the caves more ahead*
Reaper: I am gonna go deeper and see whats happening.
*opens his TADS and replys back to Arrek*
~I am still there in the caves, hurry on over here. Reaper~
*closes the TADS*

"Alrightn now we're in buisness!" He began running in the opposite direction of when he came in trying not to wake up any grumpy pokemon. Finally he made it to where Reaper was, "Whoa! I guess I missed the battle..." Yet he still heard fighting noises from deeper in the cave. "What's going on up ahead?"

Dark returnes to HQ and wanders to the Med Lab. He pops Mawiles pokeball into the healing machine and activates it.
"Hmmm... I think I'll call you... Nibbles..."
Dark says, giving his tough pokemon a sissy name. Poor Mawile.
After the machine stops, Dark grabs Nibbles pokeball and heads over to the lab.

Reaper: Wow look at all of them.
*looks around at all of the pokemon*

Dark throws the pokeball and Mawile pops out.
"Welcome to my little hideout inside the great Team Aqua's HQ."
Dark says, trying to sound as flashy as possible.
"Wile.. Ma Mawile!"
"Yeah it is kinda dark in here. I like it that way, adds a bit of 'Menace' to the atmosphere."
The Mawile looks around then yawns. It then wanders around and finds the coldest place in the room and lies down.
"Guess you're tired huh?.. I better go recharge too before I fade away completly. Good night Nibbles."
Dark then vanishes, leaving no trace. Mawile was already asleep before Dark even began talking.

"Hmmm." He thinks till the Metal Sound stops, "I need a diversion...." He thinks a little longer, "The flash from a pokeball.. thats sure to attract attantion... but how do I channel it to just that one Lairon...?" He thinks a little longer. "Hah! Even better, Torque you're up!" He lets Torque out of his pokeball behind a rock to esure that no light would reach, "Okay Torque.. Here's the plan, use Agility" Torque relaxes his mucles to allow him to move much faster than before. "Alright, step two. Assurance to the back of that Lairon over there" he points, "Ready..." He concentrates for the sign of another Metal Sound from the main battle, and when it comes Arekku shouts to Torque, "Go!" He quickly bounces in uses Assurance and leaves before Lairon tunrs around, somewhat enraged. No other pokemon noticed. Lairon investigates, walking back along the path. Arekku follows him back a little ways and calls it out, "Lairon!" it spins around looking at Arekku, "La! Lairooooon!" he yells out to the others but they can't hear over the battle.

"Just you and me!" Torque moves to the front of Arekku, to show he's ready to battle. Lairon charged at Torque with Take Down, it hit but didn't do much damage, but it didn't appear to take any damage either, besides Torque's Rough Skin. "Must have the Rock Head ability..." Torque didn't care he headed in anyway, using Aqua Jet. Which did a fairly good amount to the half Rock type, Lairon came back with a defensive move Iron Defense, Arekku groaned. Torque kept on, using Water Pulse, hitting directly in the face and causing confusion on the Lairon's part. He charged again in a Take Down but in the opposite way and ran into the wall of the cave, doing damage to itself, Torque attacked with Assurance, it did double the damage bacause Lairon had just hurt itself.

Lairon snapped out of it, he seemed a little weaker this time but Arekku wasn't taking any chances, he would battle it a little longer. Lairon's claws lit up a little and slashed at Torque with Metal Claw, doing little damage, and some to itself. The Lairon was now breathing heavily and Torque was getting tired as well. "One more attack Torque!" Torque jumped and used Crunch on Lairon's front leg. the opponent barely had enough energy to shake off the smaller pokemon. It collapsed, drained of energy, but not fully out yet.

Arekku called out to Torque, "Alright, I think that's enough buddy!" torque backed off and Arekku tossed a pokeball, hitting the Iron Armor pokemon's back, the ball wriggled three times and, ding! Lairon was his. "Alright! Now lets get out of here before anyone else notices us!"
