Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ike: *Opens his wallet to fake not having money as well* Hmm... Jasmine?
Jasmine: *Opens a small coin purse to tell everyone she is "broke" as well* No one has money? How can we get drinks then?
Jirachi: *Doesn't take it anymore and leaps into the air, pointing at itself*
Ike: *Grins* What's a matter Jir? You look like you just won the lottery? xD
Jasmine: Can you really grant wishes, Jirachi?
Jirachi: *Shakes its head in an up and down motion*
Ike: You wanna do the honors? *Finally feels a sense of everything going back to normal. He hadn't really wished for much during the time Jirachi had been with him*
Jasmine: *Faces Jirachi* I wish we all had our favorite beverage to enjoy!

Jirachi: *Flies higher into the air and begins to concentrate. Its body starts to glow as everywhere around them grows darker. With a sudden blinding, bright flash and a rush of wind, once everyone could see again, Jirachi was struggling to break free from a net while two Team Galactic Peons try to run away down the beach*

Ike: JIRACHI! NO! *Dashes after the two peons. He grabs a pokeball from his belt and calls out Quilava to give chase as well* WE CAN'T LET THEM TAKE JIRACHI!!!
Jasmine: *Is shocked* Come on Kwchups! *Runs after Ike*

Ike: *Yells* GET BACK HERE! Quilava, ember!
Quilava: *Takes a leap and while air-born, shoots fire balls at the two grunts. One hits the grunt that is holding the net in the shoe and he panics a little*
Peon1: Ah! I'm on fire!! *Stops to try and stomp it out in the sand* Here! Hurry back to the HQ! *Hands the net to the other peon and the other peon takes off*
Ike: *Passes the first Peon that is trying to put his fire out in the ocean. He keeps yelling out to the other peon* Stop!

*Once his fire is out, he runs to block Jasmine and Kwchup's path*
Peon1: You guys arn't going anywhere! Azelf is now property of Team Galactic. *Catches his breath and calls out a Bronzor and a Croagunk* You should be embracing our goals anyway!
Jasmine: Azelf? *Reaches for a pokeball and turns to Kwchups* We can team up on him. How about it?

Jasmine: *Releases a Magnemite and keeps her other pokemon's ball, Steelix, in her other hand* Ready!

*As the chase directs them into a forest and whines down, the peon starts to lose speed and tries to hide behind a tree to by a moment. He reaches in his pocket really quick and speaks into a beeper-like contraption*
Peon2: Commander, Azelf has been accounted for. I'm sending you my coordinates along with this message. *hangs up*
Jirachi: *Struggles inside the net, trying so hard to break free*
Peon2: Stay still Azelf! Arh! *presses a button on the net and it shocks Jirachi to the point of fainting*
Ike: *Catches up and clenches his fists* What do you want with Jirachi!? Give him back!
Peon2: Azelf will be needed for our final plans! You can't interfere! *Puts Jirachi behind him and pulls out three pokeballs, calling out a Zubat, Bronzor, and Shinx*
Ike: *Stalls. A three-way pokemon battle? He's never done that before, and is pretty sure he couldn't handle one right off the bat*
Quilava: *Stands his ground, facing the three pokemon*

*All of a sudden, a familiar voice speaks the words "Sunny Day!". With those words, all the clouds in the sky float away and the sunlight doubles. Quilava feels a boost. Along with the boost, a Venomoth appears at Quilavas side, and a man in a grey trench coat stands beside Ike*
Marty: 'Think you could use some help. *His voice was rash and low. There was a freindliness tone to is though. He spoke like a rusty old sailor*
Ike: Marty!
Peon2: *Doesn't wait for the reunion* Bronzor, Gyro Ball!
Bronzor: *Starts spinning fast and shines a bright silver. It then fires a ball of light at Quilava, hitting hard. Quillava staggered back a little, but returned to his position beside Marty's Venomoth*
Ike: Quil! Flamethrower!
Quilava: *Takes a deep breath and shoots out a stream of red-hot fire at the Bronzor. The Bronzor is sent flying back into a Tree, badly damaged*
Marty: Venomoth, Leech Life!
Venomoth: *Starts to radiate a greenish hue and sucks the life power out of the Bronzor, causing it to faint. The Zubat retaliated by using bite on the Venomoth's wing, striking a nerve. Venomoth flapped its wings violently so that Zubat would fly off. It did so and Venomoth was having trouble staying in the air*
Marty: There's a trooper! *Recalls Venomoth* Now that this is a little less onesided... *steps back and lets Ike take over*
Ike: Thanks Marty. *Focuses on the battle* Quilava, rollout!
Quilava: *Goes into a run and jumps to the ground, starting to roll about, moving itself with the flames out of it's back. It ran into Shinxs, but only barely*
Peon2: Shinx, use spark!
Shinx: Shinx! *Gets a ferm stand on the ground and sends small sparks flying each and every way. They seemed to bounce off the rolling Quilava at first, but a big spark struck Quilava with such force that it caused him to break lose from it's roll and run straight into a rock. Quilava bumped his head and was now very dizzy*
Ike: *Returns Quilava and releases Lucario* Luc! Use Bone Rush!
Lucario: *Picked the Shinx as it's target and by using aura to lift a bone out of the ground, he fires it at the Shinxs, sending it flying and KOing it. Zubat was all that was left*
Peon: *Speaks under his breath* Arg.. where are you Commander??... *returns to the battle* Zubat, Air Cutter!
Zubat: *Shoots up into the sky above the trees and shoots right back down at Lucario. Upon impact, Lucario tried redirecting it with his palm, but didn't go as well as he hoped. Zubat clipped him under his arm and Lucario jumped back, holding his side*
Ike: Luc! You have this! Stone Edge!
Lucario: *Focuses on the Zubat and with aura, lifts basketball-sized stones out of the ground and fires them at Zubat.
Zubat: *Is hit hard and flies back, almost afraid*
Peon2: Enough! *Sees his Commander running this way and returns his Zubat*
Lucario: *Runs back and stands beside Ike and Marty* Very nice to see that you're ok, Marty.
Marty: Same to 'ya, Lucario.


*Meanwhile back at the beach, Peon1 runs away*
Jasmine: *Recalls Magnimite* No, I'm afraid I don't. We should try to catch up with Ike... *Starts running in the direction the others ran off to*

*As they enter the forest Jasmine slows down to run by Kwchups side*
Jasmine: Well... I'm really not quite sure who those people are, but there is a mystic pokemon by the name of Azelf who resides somewhere around here... but what would they want with something that I don't even think exsists?

*Lucario dashes toward Jirachi and picks it up, freeing it from it's net and runs back to Ike and Marty at an extreamly high speed. The Peon takes a few steps back and knows he's in a world of hurt. Commander Saturn approaches the group. At the first sight of Marty he snickers*
Saturn: I thought we disposed of you.
*Ike was a different story. He reached for a pokeball and stood in a defensive stance*
Saturn: You! You're that kid from a year ago in Hoenn!
Ike: Unfortunately. *Sees Kwchups and Jasmine running up the path*

Saturn: *Sees the others join Marty and Ike's side and relaxes his fighting stance, knowing he is out-numbered. He motions the peon to leave and looks at Kwchups* Don't test Team Galactic youngling. Now, hand over Azelf now or face the real rath of what Galactic can bring.
Ike: *Takes the fainted Jirachi from Lucario and holds it tightly* This isn't Azelf. What are you talking about?
Saturn: ... *Takes a closer look at Jirachi and comes to the realization that it is not what he is looking for* A useless weakling? Those idiots mistaked that for Azelf?? ...
Marty: You know very well that wutch you're look'n for isn't real! Saturn, come to reason! I've tought you better!
Jasmine: *Leans to Ike* How does this guy know him?
Ike: *Ike spoke softly* Marty used to be the leader of Team Galactic.
Marty: *Butts in* Before it turned to Unreasonable Madness.
Saturn: You've had your chance you miserable old man. Cyrus was always fated to lead us to our true destiny. *Points to both Ike and Kwchups* Tell the rest of Team Aqua that if they come between Team Galactic's goals anymore, there will be no limit to what devistation we will bring to you!
Jasmine: *Looks at Ike and Kwchups both in confusion* Team Aqua? ...

*Saturn clicks his fingers and walks backwards into a violet-black vortex. In a matter of a few seconds, he and the vortex were gone*

*Jasmine takes a few steps away from Ike and Kwchups*
Ike: *Turns to face Jasmine* I swear to god I have no idea what he's talking about!
Jasmine: How could you? Ike, when you left Olivine we all thought you were going to amount to so much. how could you join a... a Team? *The bitterness in those words could be felt by everyone else there, as everyone else there was or has been in a Team before*
Ike: Jaz, not all teams are bad!
Marty: But darn well most of 'em are! *That addition didn't help at all*
Jasmine: *Points at both Kwchups and Ike* You two don't think the rest of the world is blind to what Team Aqua does, do you? It was all over the news! A Green Cloud over Hoenn! The reports of all the sick, wild pokemon from the radiation alone almost made me leave Sinnoh to go assist in helping those poor creatures!
Ike: Jaz! I swear! That cloud... it... *he couldn't find the words. After all he didn't even know how the green cloud with Tentacruel Prime came to be in the first place*
Jasmine: Think again before you say not everyone is bad! *Walks away from the other and disappears into the woods*

Marty: ... *Walks over to Kwchups* I might have an answer to Jirachi's problem.
Ike: *Feeling depressed, he tries to stay focused with the other two about Jirachi. He then remembered something* ...Kwchups... did you ever get a drink? ... Did the wish even work?
