Welcome to Gaia! ::

Doyle was once again in the Howling Woods with his pokemon and would be meeting up with his partner in crime. He had received a new mission, even though it was similar to an older one, on his way back from doing something for Alexa. She had asked him to run an errand for her, mainly to purchase a certain item that could only be found in a certain place for a certain large canine she owned. He begrudgingly agreed to do so and the item was currently located in his bag on his back.

He had Ansa and Ark to help with the scouting. He didn't want to run into any normal trainers while he was in his work clothes. "What is it with pokemon trashing our new base?" He asked himself. For that was what the new mission was about. It appeared that there was a Poochyena in the woods that was attacking Rocket members and destroying anything it could get it teeth into.

A loud ringing could be heard as Doyle's Xtransceiver. "Crap." Was quickly followed. Doyle quickly answered it making sure the live picture function wasn't working. "Ah... yeah I know it's not working Alexa. I don't know why!" Doyle could be heard perfectly clear even though he was some distance from Genesis.

"Well you need to get it fixed." Alexa replied, "Did you get that item I asked for?" A very impatient Alexa was showing up for Doyle and in the background you could hear an Arcanine howling. "He's freaking out. I don't know how long I can last with him like this. Hurry it up!"

Doyle could only sigh at his step sister. "Yeah yeah. I'll get there after I finish something else up. Okay? Bye." He promptly ended the call and looked at Ark who was staring at him like he was an idiot. "I don't need this from you." He shot back. He began walking again heading for the meeting spot. Surely Gen had heard most of that as Alexa had practically been screaming to be heard and he had yelled back.

Doyle reached down to pat Kronos as he walked towards the meeting spot. He knew that the pup wasn't supposed to be acting like this but it still didn't mean he couldn't pet her. He nodded to Gen's mouthed question and looked about. He didn't speak to her until he was closer. "Are we near the reported area?" He whispered.

Ark looked at Erebos and contemplated just ignoring him completely. Figuring that would make things worse she nodded slightly. She stared at Kronos for a moment before focusing her attention on other things.

Ansa tottled along after her trainer and Ark. She spotted Erebos and Kronos and tilted her head. "Dooof." She huffed and began looking around. Apparently she was to help trap the creature that was causing all of the trouble. Thus she needed to find things to make a trap with.

They certainly didn't go unnoticed after all of the noise Doyle made and then Kronos. A pair of amber/orange eyes peeked out from a bush and then quickly disappeared. If anyone was paying attention a flash of grey and glowing orange streaked by after that.

Doyle followed after Gen also not noticing the flash of color and fur. He did however notice the noise Ansa was making and glanced back. His eyes narrowed and he shot Ansa a look saying she better not start anything. He then focused on ahead and began looking around.

Ark didn't know what Erebus was feeling and thus wouldn't have felt slight shock at him feeling it. She did however notice Kronos wag her tail and she cocked her head. Her own tail flicked in return. She tried really hard not to think of her own child who was no longer with Doyle. She did notice a flash of color and her head whipped in that direction. Her eyes narrowed and she stalked off.

Ansa made little laughing noises when she saw Kronos walking around her. Doyle's look made her think twice about starting anything. She finally found some vine like plants and grabbed them. She noticed Ark stalking off and figured she needed to make the trap fast.

Doyle noticed that Ark had gone off and paused. He looked at Gen and then in the direction his pokemon had disappeared in. "I wonder what...." He never finished what he said as he heard snarls and then saw a black wave shoot out from the direction Ark went in.

Ansa quickly gathered some sticks and began trying to wrap the vines around it. She was rapidly running out of time to set a trap.

The pokemon they were after noticed that Ark was after him. He snarled at her when he turned around and instantly lunged. He and Ark tussled a bit before they broke away. Ark was tattered and torn having faced the teeth of the other pokemon. The pokemon grin wolfishly and crouched down ready to lunge again.

Ark followed after the pokemon that caused the blur. She skidded to a halt when it suddenly turned and attacked. She fought to get away and when she did she was covered in wounds. Her eyes narrowed and she shot out a Dark Pulse at the pokemon.

The mysterious pokemon was pushed out of the bushes into the more clear area that the others were at. It was quickly revealed to be a Poochyena with bone markings. It looked around quickly taking in the others before focusing on Ark again. He never got to move towards her as he was hit in the side by Erebos. He flew through the area and landed near Ansa. He slowly got up and growled. His eyes focused on the nearest target, Ansa. His lips curled and he lunged.

Ansa squeaked in surprise when a Poochyena landed next to her. She tried to scrambled away but was quickly 'caught'. The Poochyena landed on her back and began to tear at her. She squealed in surprise and pain before trying to turn around to attack back.

Ark came out into the clear area as well and moved to help Ansa out. She used physical blows and managed to knock the Poochyena off of Ansa. The Poochyena landed closer to the humans and Kronos this time. "Zooooorrrruuuuu." She hissed.

Doyle was surprised to see a pokemon come flying out finally. He was even more surprised to see it was a Poochyena. "Do you think this is the culprit?" He asked. He went to move forward to help Ansa reaching for one of his pokeballs. However Ark helped her out but sent the pokemon towards them.

Doyle nodded hearing Gen. He would have took a step back but he figured that would be a sign of weakness. He wasn't too keen on the idea of being the next one to get attacked. "Ansa... Ark... try to pin it down!" He commanded.

Ansa didn't want anything to do with it as her back hurt and surely scratched up. However she had to obey Doyle's command. She rushed up to one of the sides and watched as Ark took the other side. They would pin it from the sides and hopefully Erebos would get it from behind.

Ark was not thrilled to see her trainer so close to that destruction machine but listened to Doyle's command. She came at the Poochyena from the other side and flicked her tail to try and signal Erebos to come in from behind.

The Poochyena quickly glanced around to see his options. He was quickly being boxed in by the three other pokemon and the human who didn't back down. However he did notice the other human pick up the other Poochyena and decided that was his best option. He rushed at Doyle but quickly feinted around him. He then was running to Genesis and Kronos with his fangs gleaming.

"WHO THE HELL IS JESUS!? WE WORSHIP ARCEUS!" DOYLE YELLED AT GEN.

Doyle turned to see the two Poochyenas go at it and grabbed an empty pokeball. It seemed the only way to deal with this intruder is to capture it.

Bow-chika-bow-wa. *hips sway* Ark's milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.... damn right its better than yours.

Ark quickly moved past Doyle to make sure he was safe and to make sure that the intruder Poochyena couldn't get away.

Ansa also moved beyond Doyle to help block the Poochyena. She winced as she watched it turn towards Kronos.

The Poochyena quickly noticed everyone ganging up on him (THEY'RE ALL USING BEAT UP!!!! -SHOT-). However there was no where to turn so he headed for the one like him: ready to battle and is also a Poochyena. He went for Kronos' throat instantly hoping to end it quickly and get away.
