Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Teleports in with Xatu, and leans against the wall*
Hm... what have we here?

*Picks up the report and starts reading*
Yes... mmm... well... uh-oh.

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid this fails again. Don't be discouraged, you can keep editing until you pass, and I think it'll only take one more try.

The main problem I have with this is the battle with Mudkip. It seems awfully one-sided. Worse, I think you'll still need to catch Mudkip with its pokeball. Since it doesn't have a trainer, treat it like a wild pokemon. You can't catch it after it faints, either.

While you're at it, have another look at your spelling. The new version is better than the original, but there aren't any E's in Poison. Oh, and Prof. Birch lives in Littleroot, not Twinleaf. Come to think of it, not even Prof. Rowan lives in Twinleaf!

A good mission overall, so just fix up those last few details and I'm confident you'll pass.

MISSION- Birch's First Break-in
Any Team Aqua member is asked to go to Prof. Birch's lab in Littleroot and steal one of his three pokemon (Treeko, Torchic, Mudkip). You must sneak in at night. But don't get caught by Prof. Birch or his assistant. At some point you must battle the pokemon you stole/are stealing, if you want to catch it.

Pokemon:
Treecko
Torchic
Mudkip

Jay walked into the Team Aqua HQ and looked around. “This place is so cool.” he said aloud. He walked to the mission computer to find a mission that he wanted to go on. He had overheard somebody talking about a mission that he was interested in. Jay started to look on the mission computer and found the mission that he was looking for. He was supposed to break into Professor Birch’s lab and steal a Pokemon. He knew exactly what Pokemon he wanted to steal. Mudkip. Jay quickly downloaded the information to his TADS and walked outside of the HQ. He took his Aqua Bike Dx out of his bag and hopped on it. He took out his TADS and looked at the route that he needed to take. When he was done he put his TADS back in his pack and rode off into the night. It was a a clear night with a bright, full moon shining in the sky. It was a beautiful night, but it was probably a bad time to go on this certain mission. He could see a flock of Noctowl in the sky and some HootHoot too. He thought that he saw a Spiritomb. When Jay finally got to Littleroot Town he went behind some bushes and put his bike back in his pack. He was glad that it was a collapsible bike. He put his pack into an overhanging tree branch where nobody would discover it if for some odd reason they decided to come looking over there. Jay turned to the lab and knew that it was time to start the mission.

Jay was both excited and nervous. He was excited that he was on his first mission, but a little bit nervous at the same time. He had never done anything like this before. He watched the entrance for about fifteen minutes and was relieved to find that there was no guard. He quickly ran to the entrance of the lab and quietly slipped inside. He looked down the hall and strained his ears for any type of noise. Not hearing anything he flattened himself against the wall and started to slowly make his way down the hall. When he got to the end of the hall he peeked around the corner and made sure that nobody was coming. Satisfied, he continued to make his way down the hall. He was kind of suspicious to why he had heard no noise. Where is everybody? When he got to the end of the second corridor he peeked around the corner and realized why he had heard no noise. I am in trouble now.

Sitting at a nearby desk was the Professor and his assistant. They were conversing in low tones. From what Jay could here, it sounded like they were discussing something. He couldn’t hear exactly what they said though. However, they seemed deeply immersed in their conversation. Jay knew that this was his chance. Making sire that he was absolutely quiet, Jay started to tip-toe his way to the Pokeballs. He found the one that had Mudkip due to the fact that it had a label where the Pokeball was sitting. Making sure that the two people at the desk were still not looking, he quietly snuck back out of the room. He put Mudkip’s Pokeball on his belt and started to sneak out of the Lab slightly faster than what he had when he was trying to sneak into the Lab. It seemed like there was no ending to the hall and every muscle in his body was tensed. When he finally got the entrance he slipped back behind the bushes and grabbed his pack from the tree branch. He slipped it on and walked into a tiny clearing in the middle of the woods. Jay sent out his Croagunk. He showed Croagunk the Pokeball containing the Mudkip. Croagunk clicked the center button twice. "Croagunk no!" Jay said. Too late, a shining white light came out and landed on the ground.

When the Mudkip appeared it looked around frightened and confused. “Mud?” it said in a questioning tone. When it saw Jay it got a serious look on its face like it knew what was happening. It started to glare at Jay wonderting what was about to happen to it. “Okay Mudkip get ready.” The Mudkip stood in a fighting stance and Jay knew that it was ready. Jay felt kind of bad. He was battling Mudkip because Mudkip didn't want to be stolen. What if he was denying a new Trainer with a Pokemon that he wanted? He glanced at his Squirtle's Pokeball. How would he feel if someone had managed to steal his Squirtle when he first got it? Nevertheless, he had accepted the mission and knew that he must complete it no matter what.

“Croagunk use Poison Sting.” Jay said. Croagunk used the attack, but the Mudkip just dodged it. It then used Water Gun. “Croagunk dodge and use Poison Sting again. The Mudkip once again dodged. The Mudkip then used Mud Slap. “Croagunk use Mud Bomb hurry.” Croagunk used the move and it his the mud that Mudkip had slapped up. It hit it and the mud splattered on Mudkip and sme got in its eyes. “Croagunk jump in the air.” Croagunk jumped and manged to not get hit by the mud. “Now do a diving Poison Jab on Mudkip.” Croagunk dove staright down and made contact with Mudkip’s forehead. The Mudkip fell to the ground senseless. Jay quickly threw a Pokeball at Mudkip. The ball shook three times before it stood still. “Good job Croagunk.” Jay said returning his Croagunk and putting the Pokeballs on his belt.

Jay walked out of the woods , but made sure he did not walk out into the Lab opening. He took out his Aqua Bike DX and his TADS. He checked to see where the Pokemon Center was. When he found out he put his TADS back in his pack and rode in the direction of the Pokemon Center. When he got there he gave Nurse Joy his Pokemon and waited. When his Pokemon were healed he took them from Nurse Joy and put them on his belt. He then got on his Aqua Bike DX and rode back to the Team Aqua HQ.

The ride back was awesome for Jay. He had done a mission and got a Mudkip. He didn’t see the Noctowl or Hoothoot this time. He didn’t see any Pokemon. When he got back to HQ he put his bike back in his pack and walked into the HQ. He went inside and sat on a nearby couch. He hoped that he would be able to keep the Mudkip.

MISSION - Think Negative!
Any Team Aqua member is asked to catch a Minun

Minun

Funds upon completion: 300
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jay was sitting in his room inside the Team Aqua HQ. He was watching his Pokemon play. He was glad that his new Pokemon Mudkip had taken a liking to him despite the conditions when they had met. After a few minutes Jay decided that he was ready to go on another mission. “Okay guys time to go.” Jay said reaching for their Pokeballs. “Squirt.” his Squirtle said excitedly. “Mudkip Mud.” his Mudkip said as if in agreement. “His Croagunk just sat there. Jay smiled and returned his Pokemon. He walked outside of his room and made his way towards the Mission Computer. He scanned through the missions and found that he liked. The mission sounded easy. All he had to was catch a Minun. Easy enough.Jay downloaded the missions details into his TADS and walked outside of the HQ. He took out his Aqua Bike DX and started to ride towards the nearby forest.

On his way to the forest he saw that it was a great day to be outside. He watched a small flock of Starly fly overhead and noticed a group of Zigzagoon that were walking in the opposite direction from which he was heading. When he finally got to an ideal spot he hopped off his bike and leaned it against a nearby tree. He picked some Oran Berries off of a nearby bush. He placed them out in the open and hoped that a Minun would show up soon. He waited for what seemed like forever. He occasionally had to chase off some wild Pokemon that had tried to eat the berries. Finally after and two hours of waiting(according to Jay’s TADS) he saw a Minun cautiously make his way to the berries. It must not have heard or smelled him because it had started to eat the berries. Either that or the Minun wasn’t scared of him. Jay knew that now was his chance.

Jay reached for a Pokeball and threw it in the air. A white light came out and formed the shape of his new Mudkip. He knew that Mudkip wouldn’t be affected by the Electric attacks that Minun knew. That Minun looked up at the appearance of Jay’s Mudkip. It took a fighting stance. It was ready to battle. This time Jay knew that there really no downside to catching a wild Minun, considering it was wild and he had not stolen it. “Mudkip use Water Gun.” Jay said. The battle had begun.

The Minun dodged and started to crackle with electricity. It hit Mudkip , but Mudkip wasn’t affected. The Minun mist have noticed it because it jumped back. The Minun then used Quick Attack. Before Jay could react his Mudkip got hit by the attack. Mudkip fell to the ground, but got up. The Minun came rushing at Mudkip again. “Mudkip stay where you are.” Jay said. When the Minun got close enough to Mudkip Jay said, “Mudkip use Mud Slap.” Mudkip turned around and used Mud Slap. The mud hit Minun and it and went backwards. “Now use Tackle before it recovers from the attack.” Jay said. Mudkip charged at Minun and hit it full force. The Minun went flying backwards and fell to the ground. Jay knew that this was his chance to capture it. He quickly threw a Pokeball and Minun.

Minun was absorbed in a bright red light and the ball shook three times before it stood still. Jay went and picked up the Pokeball. “Yes! I caught Minun!” Jay said excitedly. “Good job Mudkip. You deserve a nice rest.” Jay said returning his Pokemon. He put Minun’s Pokeball on his belt and went and got his Aqua Bike DX. He rode out of the woods and started to make his way back to the Team Aqua HQ. It was about non and Jay saw flocks of Starly and their evolutions and even some Pidgey and their evolutions. When Jay finally got back to HQ he put his bike back into his pack and walked back inside the HQ.

When he got inside he went to a nearby couch and cut on the television. Their was nothing really interesting on so he turned the television off. He got up and started to walk around the HQ bored as all get out. He wanted to hurry up and know the status of his mission he just went on. It seemed like the person in charge of looking over the missions would never come. He was nervous. He really wanted to keep the Minun he had just caught.

Corey comes in and takes a look around
"Wow, though one of my buddy's head was empty.." he says. Seeing a mission to do, he takes one to do and leaves HQ.

SC peers down from the tree she happened to be napping in a moment before to see...footprints. SC studies them from her perch for a moment, then climbs to a higher branch and plays Diamond on her TADS.

Miko walked in, yawning. "Hi guys..." She sighed, plummitting on the couch. After finally realozing there was no one there, she sighed once more.

Miko jumped up, scared by the sudden voice. "Wah?!Oh...Hey..." She chuckled, a bit embarassed.
