Welcome to Gaia! ::

*As Ike goes flying into Guille's office, he lands flat on his face right behind the blond-haired man. Guille, Amarube, and Yura all turned around in shock. The man in the blue tie stepped in the doorway and appologized.*
???: A thousand pardons. He was attempting to barge in the office. *Walks over to Ike and picks him up. He then holds Ike's arms behind his back and holds him still.*
Lucario: *Lies blacked-out in the hallway. Kurtis ran over to Lucario trying to wake him up*
Ike: *Tries to break free, but is held painfully by the man in the blue tie.*
Guille (Archie): *Remembers Ike's face* Ahh, the boy who brought Team Galactic to my doorstep a year ago.
Ike: *His eyes open wide. It was Archie.*
Archie: *Smiles* You remember. Good. * Walks over to Ike's face and speaks with an angry tone of voice* Because replacing my Megasubmarine did NOT come cheap!
Amarube: *Points a finger at Archie* Do not think you can change the subject!
Archie: *Turns around, ticked.* And what does it matter that the people know of your operations now?
Yura: Now our clients suspect us for working with these imbeciles. *waves her arm at Ike* Now no one trusts us any longer.
Amarube: You promised no press, Archie! No press for us means money and the National Guard for you.
Ike: The General was talking to you! You're the one they stole the DNA for!
???: *Pulls back Ike's arm, causing more pain. Ike flinched.*
Amarube: We have no time for your business. *Turns to Archie* You broke our deal, and now we will break our contract! *Points his finger in Archie's face* No more TV time for us! You hear me?
Archie: *Waves Amarube's finger out of his face. He doesn't seem to care.* Hm.
Amarube: *Turns to Yura* Come on, my dear. Let us leave this moron to his games. *Holds Yura's hand and turns to leave with her through the door.* Mr. Ames.
???: *The man threw Ike to the floor. He then left fallowing Amarube and Yura.*

Ike: *Quickly stands up and reaches for Lucario's pokeball, turning around and returning him. There was no sign of Kurtis in the hallway. Kurt must of fled.*
Archie: Hmph. *Walks over behind his desk and looks out the window.*
Ike: *Stands in the middle or Archie's office, rubbing his arms to calm the pain. It was very awkward.*

Steven: *Takes a few deep breaths of relief.* After seeing the report of the Sting Operation that they scrambled, I came to have a word with Mr. Hideout to set things straight. *Stands up* Brian, Guille Hideout is Archie. He's been brainwashing and turning the people of Hoenn against you. *Looks to the ground.* Now I'm afraid he's turned his sights to the League as well. *Looks up at everyone.* Thank you. All of you. For assisting me. I apologize for any confusion.

Sammy looked up, startled at the news that Archie had returned. "Archie? Hmmpf... What a revelation." She sighed, shaking her head.

*stumbles into the room just as Brian gives the order for finding Ike*

Oh come on, am i late for everything today*walks back out of the room*

Steven: *Turns to Brian and hands him a DS-Game shaped chip to insert into his TADS* This is the blueprint to this entire building. Don't ask how I found it. It will lead you to the tyrant's office. You will have to excuse me. I must return to Ever Grande City and report our findings to the League. *Exits the basement swiftly.*

*put totodile back in his pokeball and starts running up the stairs following everyone else* "And by few levels you mean 10 right?"

*Yoshiro laughed a bit* "You may want to put squirt in his pokeball so he doesn't get too tired just in case we battle more of archie's men again."

Squirt yowled in defiance, "SQUIRTLE!!!" He obviously didn't want to return to his pokeball. "Okay, how about this?" Sammy asked, picking up Squirt and putting him on her back. His little hands held on tight as she climbed the stair case. They were only a level or two away, now.
