Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Good thing I only brought 3 of my Pokemon." Ginji smiled, knowing that meant two of his Pokemon were missing. He'd find them. Who did he bring? Well, the Absol he caught, Dragonite for transport and who else? Wartortle! That's who battled Absol. One Pokemon was more then enough to take these suckers out. Let's just hope it was one of higher tiered ones. Hopefully it was Dragonite.

Carrows smiled evilly as he tossed a Pokeball blindly in the the hallway and his Unbreon appeared in a flash of black light. Ginji grinned too, not knowing why, he turned to Maddy and Sammy. "I'm sorry. We'll get them back. I promise." he smiled again as he tossed the Pokeball into the hallway. He could feel who it was, hopefully that feeling was correct. Hopefully the hallway could withstand the Pokemon's appearance. As the light faded from Ginji's Pokeball, Dragonite appeared and let loose an Outrage attack that took Umbreon off guard. The dark Pokemon suddenly disappeared and attacked the massive dragon from behind. It was nothing special judging by Dragonite's appearance after the attack.

Ginji roared in fury too, these guys had gone too far. Dragonite roared too as a beam of Outrage fired again at Umbreon, who tried to counter with a Shadow Ball, but the attack was overwhelmed by the sheer force of Dragonite's attack. Something happened that would define the rest of the battle, no one had noticed the collar around Dragonite's neck, until now as it started beeping feverishly. A voice sounded smoothly from the deadly accessory. "Self-destruct in 10-9-8..." Ginji used an advanced gymnatic move, holding up the WMD yet again and flipped the switch, and unleashing a ray of electricity to diffuse the bomb, which fell hopelessly to the floor. That was close. Too close.

Carrows look shocked, he obviously hadn't expected Ginji, an Aqua member, to see through his trickery. No matter, he called to Umbreon "Use THAT move." he smiled evilly as a blue light surrounded Dragonite as it was flung into the nearest wall, adding to its now confused state. Could Ginji win? Dragonite thought so as he steadied himself and attacked with another Outrage, seeing through its confusion. As Umbreon fainted, Carrows looked as if he was enjoying himself epically, and the blonde boy took this chance to use a Full Heal on Dragonite, curing its Confusion and ending its Outrage.

Carrows sent out another Pokemon. This one was different, it didn't look have the same Aura about it. It wasn't evil, but rather confused. But it was definitely his Pokemon. Houndoom stood before Dragonite in an epic battle to the finish. Too bad Houndoom was going to lose. Dragonite started things right with a Surf to severally injure the dog Pokemon. Panting already to stay alive, Houndoom attacked Dragonite with an aggressive Iron Tail. Notable damage seamed to be appearing on Dragonite's body such as cuts and scraps, and also some gashes. Time was running short, it was time to end this. Dragonite drew in massive amounts of energy before unleashing a beautiful Draco Meteor! The sky was lit with the destruction of walls surrounding the two battlers, there was no avoiding this, no tricks Carrows could pull, no where to run. It was over.

As Ginji rushed Carrows to try and grab him by the collar, he simply disappeared into the floor. Or rather, a hidden door. The victor started to pound at the doorway in an attempt to beat the snot out of the a*****e who had stolen their Pokemon. Dragonite readied one last attack, rushing the floor where Carrows disappeared with a Giga Impact, breaking it into millions of pieces, revealing a dark dark way down into Oblivion.

"Ok, Blaziken! Let's start this off with a Flamethrower at that Butterfree!" Butterfree definitely looked like the weakest of the two opponents, but Maddy knew that it's ability to use psychic-type attacks could be a pain in the a** for Blaziken. Blaziken shot a jet of flame at Butterfree, hitting it for some massive damage. While Butterfree shook off the powerful attack, Beedrill flew in and jabbed Blaziken with its stinger, which dripped with poison. Blaziken shook off the attack, luckily he wasn't poisoned. Butterfree instantly sent a powerful Psychic blast at Blaziken, which dealt some decent damage, just as Maddy feared. "Blaziken, use Fire Blast on that Butterfree! Wipe it out!!" Blaziken sucked in some air, and then released an enormouse wave of fire, which engulfed Butterfree, leaving it unable to fight. Blaziken panted, attacks like that took a good bit of energy.

Peon1: *Sighs, and releases Murkrow.*
Ike: *Releases Lucario and Quilava* We're not here to battle. We're here for our team mates!
Peon1: *Eyes widen* No fair!
Peon2: *Steps in and releases a Magnemite* Now it is.
Ike: *Speaks darkly. Unusual for Ike* Who cares. Lucario, Force Palm!
Lucario: *Lunges at Murkrow and sends his fist flying at it, slamming it with a powerful blow. His fighting-type moves were stronger with his Fist Plate.*
Murkrow: *Goes flying onto a poker table and staggers back up.*
Peon1: Murk, use Night Shade!
Murkrow: *Makes the area around Lucario turn dark and inflicts damage on Lucario, although not doing much.*
Peon1: *Turns to the other Peon.* I'll focus on the fire type, you take the dog.
Peon2: *Nods* Magnemite, use Thundershock!
Magnemite: *Sends lightning bolts at Lucario, striking it with a god hit.*
Lucario: *Kneels down to the floor in pain. He then howls and shakes off the attack.*
Ike: Quil, flamethrower!
Quilava: *Takes in a breath and sends fire blowing at the Magnemite, doing heavy damage.*
Peon1: Murkrow, Wing Attack!
Murkrow: Mur! *Flys in what little room they have and clips Quilava with it's wing. Quilava is flung back a little into a slot machine.*
Ike: Lucario, Aura Sphere!
Lucario: *Charges up a blue ball of Aura and sends at toward Murkrow, hitting it and knocking it out.*
Peon1: *Recalls Murkrow and speaks with little care* Oh no. I lost.
Ike: *Ignores the peons and focuses on the Magnemite.*
Peon2: Magnemite, Discharge! Take care of them both!
Magnemite: Maaggg! *Sends charges of electricity off in every direction. The energy was causing sirins and machines to go off like crazy. Both Lucario and Quilava were hit with the attack, but only Lucario came out of it unable to move, being paralyzed.
Ike: Quilava, quick! Flame Wheel!
Quilava: *Starts to run with the flames on its back. He then goes into a roll and bounces up at the Magnemite, striking it with and knocking it out.*


Ike: *Returns Lucario.* Stand out of our way!
Peons: *Recalls their Pokemon* Fine.
Ike: ... Thanks? *Calls Quilava over to him and he walks past the Peons, heading toward the back of the casino.*

Sammy stood up, whiping dust off of her pants. She began walking down the hallway, looking in every room for the stolen pokemon.

Maddy tightened her fists into a ball. "I can't WAIT to get me hands on her!!!" Maddy booted down a nearby hallway. There was only one thing she was thinking about right now. No, it wasn't if she'd ever see Steven again. Nor was it how old Thard is but... Where was her damn clone?!

Sammy walked back over to where Ginji and Maddy were. "So... I guess Maddy is going on a wild goose chase?" Sammy asked, hoping that the answer would be yes. She wanted to see someone's booty kicked; preferably the booty of the pokemon thief.

Ike: *Runs to the back of the Casino and sees Ginji, Maddy, and Sammy. He stops before he falls down a deep hole* Guys! Tell me your alright! ... *Looks down the hole* Where'd that thing come from?




Carrows: *Lands in an old smuggling chamber deep below the Casino. He dustes himself off as he stands up* Ugh. *Takes a deep breath and re-collects himself. He walks over to a button and presses it. The hole in the ground immediately fills itself, making it impossible to be used anymore.* I need a raise. *Pulls out a cell phone and calls someone.* Sir, your command has been fallowed. The Aquans are free to go.
Amarube: *While far away from Goldenrod City, he speaks back.* Nice work. Return to the fortress.
Carrows: *Was not expecting that* O..Ok sir. *Hangs up*

As we enter the casino we are immediately greeted by a large group of peons blocking us from progressing further, about two per member of our team, easy enough at first glimpse but I never really had much experience with these kind of people before not really able to prepare.

After about one second of standing time in the casino I was confronted by two peons a brutal looking one first, and behind him a quiet looking possibly new member that seemed to rather watch a battle than fight first. I had no problem with whom I fought as long as I won at that point, I don’t want to be held captive any time soon. The first peon then pulled out two pokeballs as I still had mine in hand before we even entered the building. Without a word he sent out a Jolteon and a Stunky followed by me sending out Sceptile and Weavile not even caring that it was a double battle.

Jolteon began to attack as soon as my pokemon got on the field striking Weavile with a quick tail whip lowering Weaviles guard as Stunky continued on with Explosion OHKO’ing Weavile and severely injuring Jolteon and Sceptile sacrificing itself in the process but a smart maneuver against a limited team but bad for the user overall. Sceptile shocked from the strong blow Dug his way underground leaving Jolteon confused on its location shooting pin missiles in all directions also leaving a gaping hole in the floor.

Sceptile then flew out of the ground at high speeds just underneath Jolten leaving it flying in the air bouncing off the ceiling with decent force then crashing to the floor unable to battle any longer. The fairly annoyed peon then returned his two injured pokemon and walked away down a long hall to be replaced by the more puny looking opponent

Peon2: hello….*puts his hands in his pockets pulling out a pokeball* im new to this please go easy on me..

Me: arnt you guys supposed to be evil or something, you are just pitiful… why are you even here

Peon2: I need the money…

Me: you are getting paid?! Lucky…. Wait why am I even having a conversation with you…. You are just creeping me out, you don’t deserve to be evil *sends out Venonat seeing that Sceptile was to tired to battle*

Peon2: umm hold on*starts searching all of his pockets and after about 5 minutes he finally finds his only pokeball and sends out a Spiritomb*

Me: impressive pokemon for such a minor team member…* Venonat starts out the battle by using sleep powder on the opponent landing effectively*

Peon2: thanks *looks down on his sleeping pokemon* oh dear, I was gonna do that first with hypnosis, no fair.

Me: I was trying to insult you in the first place <_<, is there any way to demote a peon? *Venonat follows her previous attack with Signal Beam landing hard right on Spirtomb’s base waking it up in the process*

Peon2: yay your awake *Spiritomb looks back at its trainer like its annoyed then lets out a pulsing wave of dark energy almost leaving Venonat unable to battle*

Me: your pokemon is better off without you… you seem to be just a letdown *gets slightly angered that my taunting is not even phasing him* “Venonat Bug Bite” *Venonat listens without hesitation dealing some more minor damage leaving it with low health but not enough for Venonat to finish it*

Peon2: I think we are doing just fine….*Spirtomb lets out the final blow with another Dark Pulse leaving venonat unable to battle*

Me: *sends out Feebas* your self confidence is annoying me more than anything at this point… *Feebas starts out with Hypnosis leaving Spiritomb asleep yet again*

Peon2: *tosses his pokemon a Chesto berry* betcha didn’t expect that

Me: *sighs* you are just prolonging loss now…*Feebas uses water gun leaving Spiritomb able to only survive another attack*

Peon2: this dosnt look very good now, Spiritomb try raising stats maybe *Spiritomb uses ominous wind dealing some damage but ends up without a KO or a stat raise*

Me: And that’s the battle I suppose *Feebas finishes off Spiritomb with one last Water Gun dealing just enough damage to KO it sending it spiraling into the keystone at its base*

Peon2: great battle *walks away not allowing me time to give another snappy remark*

Me: that was terribly annoying and creepy at the same time *sneaks past some battles making my way to the nearby casino bar*
