Welcome to Gaia! ::

Entropy simply raised an eye brow and shrugged her shoulders. "I suppose it isn't my place to judge, anyways." She would definitely keep a watch out for all of these goings-on, though. But for now there wasn't anything she could say in protest anyways, so why bother? "Well, we've bagged the baddie."

Entropy was rather eager to try her hand at catching wild pokemon once again. Before moving away from Orre, she had only seen wild pokemon a few times in her life, and getting the opportunity to actually capture them was an amazing chance. She dashed off with Hiccup into the beginning of one of the routes adjacent to Lily Cove City, down some small cliffs and into some tall grass. After a bit of mucking around in the damp ground, she had nearly decided to go back simply because it was too tiresome to traverse all of the grass.

As she was walking back towards Iilycove, though, she stepped on a few bades of grass that squeeled as she did so. "Oh crap!!" she cried, staggering backwards and looking down at whatever it was she had stepped on. From underneath the grass blades, an angry, round, tiny head started spouting supposed curses in pokemon language. It was an Oddish! "I think Pacino will be good for this one. Go, Pacino!" Entropy threw the pokeball into the air and out popped the small Scraggy. He growled at the Oddish and the battle began.

"Pacino, use low kick!" Pacino, ever the quick-footed, immediately threw a low kick down at the Oddish's face, causing the small berry to go flying down... Enough so that it landed on an entirely different cliff! The enraged little bud got up and, before Pacino could respond, used absorb to gain back some of its own energy. Pacino, though staggered, was alright. "Use Headbutt!" Pacino's head slammed into the side of Oddish's body, the little bud was barely standing at this point. "Alright, time for a poke--" Before she could even finish her sentence, Oddish had unleashed another absorb and regained a little health. Entropy decided to try her luck, still. "Pokeball go!"

The ball absorbed Oddish and shook once... twice... three times... click! "Yes!" Entropy fist-bumped Pacino for doing a good job, then returned the little pokemon to get a good rest. She began to make her way back to HQ.

Entropy had made her way back to the common room in HQ, feeling quite satisfied being 1000 poke richer and having one more pokeball on her belt. Upon arrival into the common room, she saw Ace. "So, how long have you been here? Got any tips for an aspiring newbie?" Her tone was genuinely curious and appreciative.

Matthias entered the common room through the double doors that led down into the basement laboratories. He was clutching his arm again as the wound had reopened.
"Cursed injection... Should've healed by now..." He muttered under his breath.
The black-haired man looked exhausted, and he could hardly keep his blood red eyes open. Today had taken a bit more out of him than he would've liked.

"I think it'll be fine by morning..." Matthias responded.
He leaned against the nearest wall.
"Must've been a weird first day for you."

Matthias remained quiet with thought for a few moments before replying.
"Maybe she was. She's definitely not human."
He figured that was the smartest answer he could give.
"She's strong. I guess Archie will find a use for her."

Matthias looked the girl dead in the eye.
"Archie is a dark man."
He crossed his arms.
"The chip embedded in her neck will shock her whenever the person holding the switch wants it too."
Matthias took a little device out of his pocket. It had a dial and what looked like some sort of intensity meter.
"I have one, and so does Archie. It's to keep her in line and make sure she does what she's told..."
He put the device away.
"I don't really know what to think about it anymore..."
