Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dimitri was sitting in a nearby corner, carefully listening in on everyone's conversation. His back leaned against his newly evolved pokemon, an arcanine whose mane was softer than a pillow. "A pokemon worthy of your greatness Archie-boy... I can't wait to see it with my own eyes... Kyogre." Dimitri whispered to himself while a mischievous smile crossed his face as he began to think about the information that was given from the numerous conversations.

"Argh, late again" Yamato raced through the hallway again as he woke up late for the big mission today. He entered the main room and met up with everyone there

Cody steps into the room, a smile on his face as he greets his team members.
"I feel like it's been so long since I've been on a mission like this," he says, referring to missing last week's big mission.
After last night's failure of his mission test, he had pretty much been trying to pick himself up and he had finally succeeded.

"More than likely." Dark responds to Maddy. He notes the large turnout for tonight.

Cody is growing impatient.
"What's taking so long?" he taps his foot, waiting for everything to get going.

"Patience everyone, patience. He'll be here soon. Probably forgot his lunch." Reaper said while petting his Poochyena after putting away his game.

Archie marches into the room, holding the blue orb in his right hand. His eyes reflected the longing for power and wealth while he was wearing a large confident grin. He stands in the middle of the room as a group of twenty nameless grunts follow him but then head outside.
"Hello my team mates!" He greets the room.
Dark notices a few other people, who look like experienced trainers, not the standard grunts, also make their way around the room to listen to Archie's speech. These people are part of the other groups of Aqua similar to theirs.
"As you may be aware of now, this orb-" He holds the Blue Orb up a bit higher for everyone to see. " is the key to our future. This Orb, and Team Aqua, shall change the world tonight. You have all helped me obtain this and the instructions on how to use it... And for that I thank you. We have worked together, to this day, to achieve my goals, and in return I shall make all of your dreams come true, for after tonight we will have to power to rule the world!"
His grin expands as he looks around the room.

Dark watches intently, his stomach sinks slowly. Archie had brought out all of his forces, Interpol was in for more trouble than he thought.

"But before I can reward everyone, you all need to follow me one last time, into the depths of the ocean... When you are prepared, follow me. I know we will be seeing Maxie and his pathetic team of weaklings tonight, so be prepared..." He looks around once more before making his way outside and onto the beach.

Dark sighs as he watches the other group of trainers leave. "Well this is it..." He stands up, stretches a bit, looks back at his allies and follows Archie outside.

With a sigh, Maddy gathered up her things and followed Dark and Archie to the beach outside.
"Too late to back out now..."
