Welcome to Gaia! ::

Keiko led Ulla to our room on the second floor and opened the door, bringing me inside. She did the best she could to lay me gently on the bed and get the covers above me before she exhaled. "He's gonna be okay," she said to herself, rubbing the fur above her collarbone. It was at that point that she'd look to Ulla. "Let's give him some time to rest. I'm sure he'll feel better once he wakes up."

Ulla followed Keiko to their room as she finally put him down on their bed. She looked at Ter as he rested peacefully on the bed. Ulla looked up at Keiko as she explained that he will feel better once he's fully rested and wakes up. She didn't say anything as she ran out of the room to her own. After awhile, she came back with several things. And, Lucario was out of his Pokeball once again. Ulla was holding what looked like a drawing and her Mimikyu plush, while Lucario was holding a small bucket and a towel. Ulla first placed the drawing and her Mimikyu plush on the other side of the bed. The drawing was of Ter, Keiko, herself, and Leon all holding hands smiling. "I don't want Papa to think I'm upset or anything. So I will leave these here. So when Papa wakes up and I'm not here, Mimikyu will fill my spot for me." She said to Keiko as Lucario gave the small bucket filled with water to Ulla as she wet the towel a bit. She then folded it as she placed it on his forehead. "Master, you only do that if they have a fever." "Oh really?" She said as she instead wiped his face of any sweat that was on him.

"I don't think it's nothing, when it comes to our bunch. It's always something that bites us in the butt." He said as he remembered something about their last team mission. "Which reminds me. What was your deal with Giovanni? His lot came out of nowhere. What do we owe them now?"

"Ain't that the truth." Sub said, regretfully agreeing with Leon on the idea that things always come back on them somehow. "As for Giovanni; we don't owe him anything. I mean, I may have promised him something, information on the whereabouts of something Rocket lost long ago, but he isn't getting it. Why? Because I don't have the information." He said with a laugh. "I may have lied to him but don't be fooled, Giovanni didn't help because of anything I promised him. That was just an extra bonus for him. Instead Giovanni and Rocket had an interest in stabilizing the world just as much as we did. You see, global chaos and the end of life as we know it is bad for business in the eyes of Rocket. They much rather go back to their stable and yet shady world order and continue to do business as usual. Rocket helped us because they wanted to at the end of the day. Now though? Now that his Mewtwo is gone? That is a different story."

Each of the Snagem's SNAGs would begin to ring in unison, alerts going off that the entire team had an incoming communique coming in from the 'Kanto-Johto Alliance Headquarters'. It was easy to see that even though they had saved the Tree of Life and defended all of reality, they weren't out of hot water just yet.

Leslie would glare at her SNAG as the alert came through, decidedly irate over the unwelcomed interruption to her watching her cartoons. Well, at least she could take out out her decidedly irate attitude out on the poor soul they had been summoned against.

Keiko quickly checked her SNAG, then dug into my bag to pull my SNAG out and silence it so it didn't wake me up. "Right," Keiko said, pocketing her own SNAG before leaving the room for the main lobby, not doubting that Ulla would be close behind.

The first face to fill the screen is a familiar one to those with any established knowledge of the Gym Leaders in Kanto - Blue. A confident smirk shows that the bestower of the Earth Badge was in a bit of a rare good mood.

"Heya chumps." Blue quips, facing his audience. "Gramps was busy today setting up his retirement home, so the Alliance put me in charge of making sure we got ahold of y'all." His expression turns serious, his tone dropping the joviality all at once. "From what I understand, we got a debt to settle. The war in Unova's over, and we're still out here taking care of the collateral damage. Red and most of the other alliance members are out there now, handling stretches of landmines and bringing supplies. Needless to say, we're stretched a little thin." Keen observers would have already noted that despite his high-energy at the beginning of the call, Blue looked exhausted. Slight bags drooped under his eyes, belying the effort he had no doubt put in since the end of the conflict.

"But someone had to be the one to give you guys the news. That's why they went with the best." Blue sighs, running a hand across his face and back through his hair. "I understand we have you to thank for also handling some kind of world ending catastrophe a few months ago. Business as usual for you chumps I suppose. However, as part of the recently expanding world government, we'd like to see things settle down a bit. And you know, just as well as I know, that won't happen until one thing... one man... one monster is put away for good." His voice slides into a growl at the last description, the distaste for Ein palpable as a picture of Team Cipher's leader fills the screens of the viewing Snagems.

"That's why I'm calling. To help make good on what we promised you when you got involved in the Pokemon World War."

Odd and Lykas both jumped as their SNAGs went off in unison, grabbing them and flipping them on at the same time. They'd both joined the call in time to hear Blue's explanation of why he was calling and Lykas growled. "It's about time we put him under the dirt for good."

"I'll give him the same treatment I gave Dull." Odd stated simply, eyes narrowing at the very thought of the man.

Kaya and Wren had joined in as well but neither of them were quite as invested in what happened to Ein as Odd and Lykas were. They both knew he needed to be stopped but given the way the other two had been slighted and treated like garbage directly, where they hadn't, they could understand the difference between their reaction and the other two's.
