Welcome to Gaia! ::

To the members of Snagem who are currently at the base, a message would interrupt their current activities. "To those of you who busy kicking your feet up, I would like to direct your attention to the current situation in Celadon. Or rather, the lack of attention we have from it. The current reports that we are receiving are in conflict with each other. They list the current lockdown of the media and other sources of contact as necessary due to reasons ranging from a major criminal on the loss to a gas leak of major proportions. I would appreciate if you people would investigate. With our data from Leslie's Proygon showing the Game Corner as the laundering center for their money, expect the other primitives from the bridge to appear." GRAY's monotone rang out from each of the SNAGs in people's possession.

The typical transport method of Claydol teleport would present all who arrived with a quick view of the police blockade that sat on the road, them being on the side leading towards Vermilion. "It would appear our attempts to directly teleport into Celadon were blocked. Based off the new position, you landed outside one of the police barricades near Vermillion. If you feel like keeping this somewhat legal, you could try to convince the guards over there to allow you past, or simply take the direct route and smash through the blockade to get into Celadon. While you're doing that, I need to figure out how exactly the Claydol missed on the teleport or was deflected. I doubt any of those primitives who seem to be controlling the city could manage this but I can't ever doubt someone has managed to cobble together some idiotic way to prevent it." GRAY's sarcastic and moreso bemused words as he abandoned those who appeared to study this phenomenon.

Leslie appeared beside Dante, unsure as to why exactly they had ended up outside of the city when they had been promised to be inside the city. "Hey Dante, why is Facilier floating over that police-y man? Is he gonna make friends with him?" Leslie said as she merged from behind the taller boy, her blue hair waving ina slight breeze as she stood in front of the fellow blue haired person.

(Yes, I am posting as Leslie separately. Unfortunately, having her appear first and direct people would seem kind of...out of place. She may actually do it but only later so please come into this so it feels like more than me and Elli.)

Chaos was already in Celadon, taking care of personal business with his old ladyfriend Rose when he got the call. Since he was on the other side of the blockade, he ignored it for now, deciding to join up once the others made it into the city.

Keiko, on the other hand, had Claydol warp her to the location the instant she got the message.

Dante turned his head slightly to look at the small girl, his mouth slightly open as if he was going to respond to her question. Until he realized what the question was. His head whipped around, nearly launching the boy's glasses off of his face. His lips pursed for a moment as he watched the Shuppet floating around one of the policemen. "I'm not completely sure what he's doing. Let's just hope we don't wind up with a repeat of what happened when he got a hold of Reno," he mumbled, hoping that only Leslie heard him now that there was other Snagems with them.

Facilier would not be trying to possess one of the policemen, however. In fact, he had managed to catch some of the information regarding what all was currently going on. The Shuppet floated around for a few moments before determining who he assumed was the leader of this group, floating over to him. The ghost type would press his head to the police officer's, his yellow and blue eyes glowing purple as he began to attempt to communicate with the man. Said communication involved melding his own mind with the man's for a moment to relay the information, as the Shuppet could not speak vocally, except for the regular cries of his species. My trainer and his comrades seek passage. I simply ask that you allow them through. Play nice and I won't have to harm you. And with that, the Shuppet removed his mind from the man's, still floating just in front of him. Just in case the man did not listen, the Puppet Pokemon began readying a Curse attack to use as back-up.

Dante followed quickly behind Leslie, grabbing a hold of Facilier on his way past the officer. He didn't need the Puppet Pokemon causing any more mischief, even if his mischief had helped them out this time. Picking out the man that Leslie seemed to be directing them towards. He wasn't about to speak to the man himself, being that Dante was shorter than most, and he certainly wasn't strong enough if the man suddenly decided to maul him to defend himself. He stood calmly next to Leslie, placing a hand on the girl's currently blue-haired head. The Pikachu sitting on his shoulder would shift, trying to hide itself slightly behind Dante, as he was now clinging to the back of his shirt rather than sitting on his shoulder. The orange furred rodent was a little frightened, being that he was shiny, and likely would draw unwanted attention to the group.

Making the decision for Dante rather than just leave him standing beside her, Leslie began to drag the poor soul deeper into the town's expanses, finding no other people outside with them, although some movement could be heard from within the houses. Peering inside one of the windows, Leslie would find a few members of Team Rocket hard at work grabbing whatever expensive pieces of jewelry they could. Planting Dante's face against the glass, she hoped this new discovery might prompt him to spring into action. After her last experience with Team Rocket members, she wasn't going to lead the charge.

Allen would follow the tattooed man throughout the city as this strange man began to mutter to himself. Although unable to make out exactly what was being said by this mystery man, the words "Housing robbery", "trap", and "stupid foolish intruders" would drift into Allen's ears. Continuing his walk, this muscular tattooed man would turn a corner before Allen could see around it. When Allen got there, the man would be sprinting straight down the street towards the Game Corner having spotted his tail when he turned the corner.

Kaya arrived just in time to follow the others into Celadon city, a tiny little Vulpix with a single snow-white tail in his arms. The newly hatched Fire-type had imprinted on him immediately after hatching and refused to be near anyone, Pokemon or otherwise, without him present. "Come on, Tess. Let's follow them and see what we can do." Tessarae, as the man had decided to name her, let out a small growl-like mewl and snuggled deeper into her mommy's arms as he followed Keiko, unsure who the others really were yet.

"Alright, if we have adults, follow Mr Muscle Man in case he goes to the Game Corner." Allen said quietly as he pulled out a Safari Ball. That'd be mostly Kaya, unless Keiko was an adult? Meh, the boy didnt know. He'd send out Steve, his Clefairy. Girl Clefairy, just to be clear. Peeking inside, he saw the lack of Pokeballs. Ok, chances were they had some weapons on them, or they were real idiots. Maybe if someone tried getting into a back entrance? Allen was happy with being the distraction .
