Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gengar: *Floats aimlessly around the HQ, looking for something to do. Messing with the new guys might be fun...*

Gengar: *Spots Reaper and fades into the wall. Well-knowing that Ike was still far away in the Sinnoh region, Gengar felt a mischivous freedom he hasn't felt since he was a wild Pokemon.* Gar-gengar *chuckles*

Gengar: *Hears this from inside the walls and frowns. It's no fun if is victim suspects something... But still, he couldn't resist. Gengar went into poltergeist-mode, making the lights flicker and creating a chilling wind sweep by Reaper and Corphish*

Gengar: *After getting the satisfaction of scaring his prey, he stops his tricks and jumps out of the wall, rolling around on his back laughing.* Gen-gar-GENG! rofl



*Miles away in the Sinnoh Underground, Ike and Quilava were having a miserable time finding Aqua's abandoned Underground base. Everything was dark and damp down there. They knew, thought, that was where Marty was. He had been using it for his own purposes for spying on Team Galactic.*
Ike: I have no idea where we are... *almost trips over a suspicious rock, but misses it just in time.*
Quilava: *Hops over the rock* Try sending him another message...
Ike: *sighs* I don't know. He never replied to the last one... 'Probably doesn't even have his TADS with him.

Gengar: *Never being the "talkitive" type, he sneers at Reaper and about-faces after firing a look right back at Corphish. He then starts to float away.*




Ike: *Approaches a hole in the wall of the Underground.* ...This must be it... do you think?
Quilava: *Looks at the hole.* Your guess is as good as mine.
Ike: Then I guess we better find out...
*Ike and Quilava climb through the hole. Upon reaching the other side, they were swooped up to the ceiling by a net and a rope*
Ike: scream STUPID TRAPS! This is the third one we've set off!
Marty: *Walks up to the hanging duo and studies them* Then you best be more careful down here. At least I know my trap works... *Takes out a knife and cuts them loose. They, of course, fall to the hard, rocky ground with a 'thud'*
Ike: *Gets up, rubbing his head* There you are!
Quilava: *Struggles to untie himself from the net.*
Marty: *Sighs and kneels down to give Quilava a hand.* I 'spose you've come here wonder'n how Galactic's do'n, right?
Ike: *Upon hearing that, he feels as if he doesn't talk to his godfather more often.* Well... Aqua has been busy lately...
Marty: I've heard.
Ike: *Slumps over* So HoennTV's lies hit JubilifeTV?
Marty: : Not really... *gets fed up with the knot Quilava was stuck in and quickly cuts Quilava loose.*
Quilava: *Takes a sweet sigh of relief.*
Ike: ...then how have you heard?
Marty: Funny thing. I over heard two Galactic grunts talk'n 'bout it.
Ike: ...huh?
Marty: Yeah. You guys are the talk of the "Teams".
Ike: stare Don't tell me Galactic has some sort of tie to Archie as well...
Marty: 'K, I won't. 'Cus there isn't.
Ike: GOOD! *Can sleep easily tonight*
Marty: Cyrus seems more green with envy these days though... Seems Archie has something he wants... *Goes into thinking, but shakes it off and goes to reset his trap*
Ike: ... You think Cyrus wants Kyogre DNA?
Marty: *Looks at Ike oddly* What in the world would he want that for? He doesn't care about super-ancient Pokemon.
Ike: *Stays siolent. Cyrus wouldn't want something like that... the only other thing he could think of that Archie had was the documents he had the National Guard steal for him. He couldn't remember if Thard found out which documents they were or not.*
Quilava: *Looks up at Marty* Is that the only trap you have?
Marty: 'Course not! I got plunty.

Gengar: *Stops and turns around.* Gar.

Gengar: *Stares down at the four and chooses to float up higher, out of reach. He was contemplating whether he should or not.*





*As Ike was hoping Gengar was behaving himself back at the HQ, he looked around the old base. Team Aqua had used this same underground base a little over a year ago when giving chase to Team Galactic. Ike was hoping he'd never have to come back here, but the place didn't look too bad with all of Marty's stuff around.*
Ike: *Walks over to a table where stacks of papers and photographs towered.* What are these?
Marty: *Finishes resetting his trap and looks over* Old research. Things Cyrus took for granted. *walks over to the table*
Ike: *Didn't want to touch the paper fearing that it would all fall down, but was very curious.* ...How did Cyrus become you're co-leader when you lead Team Galactic?
Marty: Met him in Sunyshore City. He was a bit of a loner. Never really talked to anyone. *Sighs and gives an awkward laugh.* This is all after... well, you know. Altomare.... But I met him when he was engineering for the solar-panels that are all over the place there. I was researching power sources and he seemed to know a lot about it.
Ike: *Carefully inched through the paper* He was an engineer?
Marty: Yea. 'Course when I told him I was interested in the studies of time travel... he kinda warmed up to me.
Ike: What happened after that?
Marty: We formed Team Galaxy. 'Course then I didn't know he was a two-timing little rat.
Ike: *Remembers well when Cyrus lead the mutiny on Marty to take control of Galactic.* Why's time-travel so important to you?
Marty: *Sighs, smiles, and looks at Ike* Nothing. No reason. Look, you better make your way back to Hoenn. Don't you guys worry about Team Galactic. If they're up to anything, I'll be sure to keep you guys in the know.
Ike: *Felt as though his question was adverted. He nodded good-bye and left the Underground with Quilava, climbing out of a whole somewhere near Lake Verity.* We better get back to the HQ as soon as we can. You know time never waits for us.
Quilava: *Agrees and takes the lead. The two begin their march to Canalave City where they will catch a boat ride back to Lilycove City and ultimately to the HQ*

Gengar: *As he roams down a hallway, be notices the Abra fallowing behind him. Psychic types always got on his nerves. Luckily they were weak to his ghost-type specialties. Gengar suddenly turned around at the Abra, wondering what it was doing* Gengar?
