Sammy gulped as she saw the red pen of doom. "So... scary... and... full of... DOOM!!!" She screamed, beginning to run around the room wildly, as if the red pen of doom was chasing her.

I really hope this passes...
MISSION- Fossil Fraud
It seems there's someone in the Johto region selling fake pokemon fossils. From his description, it sounds like he's a Legendary Brilliance Gang peon. Track him down and put a stop to his scam. (You will face one LBG peon with 2 fossil pokemon)
Pokemon: None
Rewards: 800
Item: One fossil of your choice
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fail, only because I couldn't tell if you were fighting a Kabuto or a Kabutops. You used both... And they are very different Pokemon. Fix that, and it'll be a pass. It was a very long and good mission xD

Sammy looked at the mission and slaps self in head. "Darn! I was thinking of how cool kabutops was while I was supposed to be battling a kabuto! >.< Darn my ignorance... Okey-dokey, time for a fixy!" She yelled, then began to fix the mission.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sammy looked down at the ground, bored out of her mind. It was raining outside, so she figured she would just wait for something to happen. Maybe there’s a gym here… She thought, but that was the extent of her thinking. Squirt was banging on the coffee table, and it was hard to think straight. Sammy let out a long sigh. “I’m bored. Guys, can’t you think of anything to do?” She asked, although she knew she should be the one suggesting things. Squirt and Troy shook their heads.
“Okay, then… Want to—“ Sammy’s words were caught off from her TADS beeping. A mission briefing flashed across the screen. “Fossils? I love fossils!” She exclaimed, a smile stretching from ear to ear. “You guys ready to go?” Sammy asked, but she had already answered for them. Troy and Squirt struggled to follow as Sammy raced out the door.
All three of them got on the Aqua bike, ready to roll. Sammy pushed down on one of the pedals, and they were off. “Okay, it’ll be fastest to get there if we take a ferry from Lilycove… Uh, anyone have any cash?” Sammy asked, realizing that she had left all of her money in her deposit box. Both Troy and Squirt gave her a look that seemed to say, ‘What do you think?’ Sammy sighed, “Alrighty, then… We’ll just have to find another way on.
Upon arrival at Lilycove, Sammy chained her bike to a tree, then looked out to the harbor. There was a ferry leaving in five minutes. “Great, there’s no way we can get on!” Sammy huffed, looking down at the ground. Troy pulled at her pants leg, but she ignored him. “Why, oh why?” She continued, bringing a look of annoyance to Troy’s face. He vigorously pulled at her pants leg. “WHY?!” She screamed, attracting awkward glances from strangers. Squirt hit Sammy with a water gun, sending her to the ground. “Hey! What was that for?!” Sammy cried as she looked at her damp clothing. Troy pointed to where they were loading crates into the bottom of the ferry, while at the same time thanking Squirt for getting her attention. “Oh…” Sammy said, a grin slowly appearing on her face…
The three aquans had been forced to get in the last available crate; one filled to the brim with sushi. Since there was not enough room for all of them, Squirt and Troy chose to stay in their pokeballs. “I thought they said these ferries were top-of-the-line? I’m getting seasick!” She muttered, trying to keep her head above the seemingly endless amount of sushi. She could’ve gotten rid of some by eating it, but her vegetarian ways wouldn’t allow it. It had been awhile since they left the harbor… They must’ve been close, by now. “If this smell doesn’t come off, I’m burning these clothes…” She continued to complain even though no one was there to listen.
After a few minutes, she felt the ferry stop. “It’s about time…” She muttered as she shifted her wait in the foul-smelling seafood. Suddenly, the crate was lifted up. Outside of the box she heard voices. “Geeze, how much sushi did they put in there? This thing weighs a ton!” One of the men said, and the other agreed. Sammy wanted to yell out, ‘I don’t way a ton!’ Alas, her better judgment told her not to. Soon, the men were gone and she got out of the crate, revealing that she was in Goldenrod city.
“Wow,” She said. “This place is huge!” Sammy released Troy and Squirt, who were both happy to be out of their pokeballs again. “Okay… Uh-oh, the briefing doesn’t say where in Johto, it just says Johto!” Sammy exclaimed, looking at the briefing on her TADS. Troy and Squirt both looked at it, too, and they were just as shocked. Now the mission didn’t seem like ‘fun’, even if it did involve fossils.
Their best bet was to check with local museums and, luckily, there was one nearby. After walking down the road a bit from Goldenrod, the three came to a stop in front of the run-down looking building. On the front said, “ Goldenrod Museum of Pokemon History.” “Wow,” Sammy said. “This place looks cool; even the building is a museum exhibit.” Troy and Squirt both laughed; It did look like it was one hundred or so years old. It seemed like it could fall down at any minute. “Here goes nothin’…” Sammy remarked and the three walked into the building.
Although it was only a one-room museum, it was actually much more impressive on the inside than on the outside. There were polished oak floors, walls painted in several earthy tones, and the ceiling had many different pokemon doing various things painted on it. The exhibits weren’t bad either, and some looked like they would be very valuable to a thief.
“Hello, how may I help you?” Sammy jumped as a voice came up from behind her. It was the owner of the museum.
“Oh, uh…Hi. I was wondering… Do you own this place?” Asked Sammy, looking at the balding man in his mid-forties.
“Yes, I do, and I’m quite proud of it. Why do you ask?” The man inquired, now getting suspicious of this girl and her pokemon.
“Well, I’m part of a –uh— community group that helps local businesses with fraud… We heard you were sold a fake fossil?” Sammy asked, cocking her head to the side while staring the man straight in the eyes.
“Ah… Yes. I bought a fossil and it was only after it arrived in the mail that I realized it was fake. Come, come.” He pushed, showing the three to the back of the room where the fossil box was located. Beside it was a fossil in a packaging case; you could tell it was fake. “I tried to send it back to the return address with my request for a refund, but whoever it was just sent it right back; they didn’t even open it!” The man cried angrily. Sammy looked down at the return address.
“May we get a copy of the return address?” Sammy asked, and the man handed her a slip of paper that said, “25 Fossil land” on it. That was right outside of Goldenrod. “Thank you for your cooperation, sir. We’ll be sure to find out what’s going on.” Sammy insured, slipping the piece of paper into her back pocket.
“Good, and give whoever they are what they deserve for me.” He grumbled as Sammy walked out the door. The address wasn’t fake, like she thought it would be. In fact, it used to be the location of an old clay factory.
After what seemed like a hike to the other side of the world and back, the three stopped in front of a large factory with the title, “ CLAY FACTORY”. Oddly, there were some letters spray-painted over top of that. “LBG”. Well, it didn’t take a brain surgeon to figure that one out. Sammy walked inside, her pokemon following suit.
Inside it looked like the place hadn’t been cleaned in months; there were spinarak webs everywhere, and the actual spinarak weren’t too far away. Sammy shivered. “I hate bug pokemon…” She whispered, looking at the 6-legged creatures with disgust. To lessen the chances of them being seen, Sammy returned Squirt and Troy; against their wishes, of course.
Sammy tip-toed through the dark corridor, alert for any signs of someone approaching. Up ahead, she heard what she thought sounded like someone grumbling to themselves. She peeked around the corner, and almost laughed at what she saw.
The single man that was in the room was obviously an LBG member, especially since he was mumbling to himself, “I can’t believe Amurabe and Yura made me do all of this all by myself… It takes forever to make fake fossils out of clay!” He grumbled, working his hands on a large chunk of clay. Beside him was a pile of dried fake fossils, and on the other side was an even bigger pile of fake clay.
“Well, look what the meowth dragged in. I thought I told him not to pick up garbage.” Someone said from behind Sammy. Slowly turning around, she found a large body-guard standing over her. She gulped.
“Thanks for finding her, Butch. Thought you could stop us, did you?” The man who was making the clay fossils said. “ Oh, I forgot to introduce myself… I’m Max, master of molding things with clay. This is my body-guard, Butch. He has pokemon that can beat you up, even though I don’t.” Sammy grimaced at Max, making him smile. “Aw, is someone mad that their plan didn’t work?” He asked, but he obviously didn’t know Sammy. She jumped to the side, a pokeball in her hand.
“Bring it on!” She yelled, standing upright.
“Okay, Butch. What the young lady wants, the young lady gets—Destroy her.” Max said, stepping back a ways so he could watch. Butch stepped forward, his bulgy muscles making him look ten times taller. The battle began.
“Go, omanyte!” Butch screamed, releasing the ancient pokemon from its pokeball. Sammy looked on with wonder; she had always loved fossil pokemon. Coming back to reality, she screamed, “Go Troy!” Sammy threw Troy’s pokeball into the air, and Troy popped out soon after. Troy was to start the battle.
“Troy, hit him with tackle!” Sammy called, and Troy was already a step ahead. He bashed into omanyte with all of his might, but it wasn’t as powerful as it could have been. Sammy, who had forgotten most of her types tables, had thrown out Troy when the only move he could use was tackle. Omanyte wasn’t effected as much as he could be by normal type moves. “Haha, you ignorant child! Omanyte, use bite!” Butch called, and the omanyte moved up to Troy and bit down as hard as he could; Troy stumbled a bit before regaining himself.
“Troy, return!” Sammy called, but Troy refused to go. He wanted to atleast weaken the omanyte. “I don’t think it’s a good idea… but alright.” Sammy said, letting Troy have his way. “Attack!” she called, and Troy, once again, bashed into the omanyte. Luckily, It did a little more damage than the last hit. “Omanyte, use water gun!” Butch called, confident in his belief that Troy would go down. Omanyte let out the jet of water at Troy, hitting him. Troy was very weak, but he could stand.
“Troy, I need to return you no--…” Sammy began, but Troy was already charging for the next blow. The tackle was weak, but omanyte was tired now, at least. “Take him down with another bite!” Butch called, and Sammy almost looked away as her partner was fainted from the omanyte’s fangs.
“Troy, return… Go, Squirt!” Sammy called. Troy was sucked into the pokeball with a flash of red light, then Squirt appeared from the next one Sammy through. “Avenge Troy; use water gun!” Sammy called, and Squirt let out a jet of water at the omanyte, almost fainting it. “Grr… I’m getting’ tired of you, brat… Omanyte, use constrict!” Butch called, his muscles flexing violently as he pointed outwards. Omanyte used his tentacles to wrap around Squirt, hurting him a little.
“Finish ‘em off with bubble!” Sammy called, urging Squirt to do his best. Squirt let out a small, yet mildly powerful, stream of bubbles out, which fainted omanyte. “I’ll get you for that, kid. Go, Kabuto!” Butch called, and out came the little pokemon. It, quite honestly, didn’t look very impressive. “Kabuto, use scratch!” The body guard called, and the little crab-like pokemon went up to Squirt and scratched him with his claw; not very effective. Afterwards, Squirt was slightly hurt from Omanyte’s previous constrict.
“This should be a breeze…” Sammy said, looking at Squirt. “Squirtle!” he agreed, eager to finish off the little thing. “Squirtle, use water gun!” Sammy called, and Squirt did as he was told. He shot the water at kabuto, it flew threw the air and—missed. “Huh?” Sammy said, dumbfounded. Squirt must have gotten used to shooting at things that were up higher! “See? Luck is on our side!” Butch laughed. “Okay, use leer!” Kabutop gave Squirt a menacing glare with his red, beady eyes. Squirt’s defense was lowered, and he was hurt from the previous constrict yet again.
“This might be harder than I thought… Okay, Squirt, try water gun again. Aim lower!” She reminded him right before he shot. Squirt shot out a powerful stream of water, this time hitting kabuto head-on, sending him flying backwards. It would only take a weak attack to knock it out, at this point. “Uh… U-use scratch!” Butch stuttered, getting scared quite visibly at this point. Kabuto scratched Squirt again, but Squirt still had enough fight left in him to finish the little guy off.
“Finish it off with bubble!” Sammy yowled, and Squirt did. The stream of bubbles was just enough to faint the little kabuto, leaving the body guard staring at the ground. “Return…” He said simply. The kabuto disappeared into the small pokeball, and the guard looked up at Sammy.
Sammy looked at the guard, shaking in his shoes. She said, with little enthusiasm, “Boo.” The guard’s only reaction was to scream like a girl and run in the other direction and out of the building. She then turned to Max, who was just staring forward into nothingness, shocked. “Aw, is someone sad that their plan didn’t work?” Sammy mocked as she stepped closer. Squirt smiled, even though he was not there for previous use of that phrase.
“T-t-this wasn’t s-supposed to happen!” He said, taking what looked like a controller out of his pocket. “T-there’s only one way this c-can end!” He chirped, his finger pressing down on the red button. Suddenly, a pre-recorded voice came up on the intercom. It said, “Self Destruction in 60, 59, 58…” Sammy turned around, confused.
“You! I’ll get you--!” She said to Max, but when she turned back around, he was gone. Squirt pulled at her pants leg; they had to get out. Before running out frantically, Sammy grabbed the nearest fossil that she could tell was real; an amber. As the ran out of the neglected building, they hear the voice say, “4, 3, 2…” Sammy pushed both herself and Squirt to the ground, right before the inevitable explosion. 5 seconds after… 10 seconds after… Sammy looked up. “Huh? What the---!!” The realization came to her; it was a trick! Sammy scolded herself for being so gullible… She should have known that—BOOM!!! She and Squirt were blown off of their feet as the building exploded into millions of pieces.
“Oi vey… You okay, Squirt?” Sammy asked, looking down at her little buddy. He nodded, standing up. After they were both up and dusted off, they looked at rubble. “Well, atleast we won’t have to get rid of the fake fossils… Come on, Squirt, let’s get home…” Sammy sighed, and Squirt eagerly agreed. Sammy walked back to Goldenrod, Squirt on her back.
Catching the ferry wasn’t as hard as last time. Sammy walked up the plank for boarding behind an elderly fellow, and when the ticket master asked her for her ticket, she replied, “I’m with him” and pointed at the man in front of her. The man let her and Squirt on board, and they both watched the waves as the sailed back to Hoenn…
Sammy and Squirt got off of the ferry. “Where did we leave the bike again?” Sammy asked as she walked out of the harbor. Squirt pointed to a small oran berry tree, and Sammy went to see if the bike was there. It was, although it looked as if someone had tampered with the chain while trying to get to the bike. “Glad I put that chain on…” She mumbled, unlocking her bike. After it was up and ready to go, Sammy hopped on with Squirt on her back and they departed for the HQ.
Sammy felt relief spill over her as she saw the familiar sight that was were she lived. She parked her bike against the side of the building. Surprisingly, it was almost dark. “Wow, time flies when you’re having fun…” Sammy said, although she didn’t mean ‘fun’ in the normal sense of the word. Both she and Squirt sat on the couch, looking back on the mission they had just completed. Then Sammy looked at Squirt. “I’m bored.”
MISSION: COMPLETE

MISSION- Fossil Fraud
It seems there's someone in the Johto region selling fake pokemon fossils. From his description, it sounds like he's a Legendary Brilliance Gang peon. Track him down and put a stop to his scam. (You will face one LBG peon with 2 fossil pokemon)
Pokemon: None
Rewards: 800
Item: One fossil of your choice
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fail, only because I couldn't tell if you were fighting a Kabuto or a Kabutops. You used both... And they are very different Pokemon. Fix that, and it'll be a pass. It was a very long and good mission xD Good job, take your money and a fossil.

It was a very long and good mission xD Good job, take your money and a fossil. *A shadowy hand (Dusclops') reaches up from the floor and sticks a note to the mission grade* Quote: Because the mission already passed, I won't overturn that ruling. I'll simply mention a few points that you should be aware of for next time. First off, Constrict is a one-time damaging move. It doesn't cause repeated damage the way Wrap would. Also, if the user of an entrapment move (like Wrap) is withdrawn, the effect ends. Second, during the first part of your mission you neglected to capitalize some of your pokemon names. The ones that stood out were Meowth and Omanyte. You did start doing it later, so that's good. Finally, when you shift your weight in a crate of sushi, watch out for the fugu. cool *Skitty has managed to find his way back to HQ. He's sitting on a balcony waiting for someone to speak without acting.*
