Welcome to Gaia! ::

Veronica knew this kid was coming from a mile away, and she was starting to become annoyed with the fact her teammate was not here yet.."I suggest you leave" She warned, tieing her jet black hair in a pony tail.

She checked her watch, it was going to be time to make her move soon, with or without her partner.

Kelsey sighed, pushing up her glasses with her right middle finger, making sure all her things were in her bag. "Potions.. Pokèballs.. Antidote, Burn heal, paralyze heal." She nodded, zipping up the top and placing it down on her desk. "Kelsey.." Her mother said, knocking lightly.
"Come in."
"Oh.. Well you are already done." Her mom smiled. "You ready?"
Kelsey looked at her bag, sighed and nodded. Her mother kept the smiled and returned a light nod.
"Come on. You have to meet Professor Birch, before the Pokèmon are gone."
Kelsey grabbed her bag and walked out of her room, behind her mother and shut the door after she was out. Down stairs then out the front door and toward Professor Birch's laboratory.
She entered, seeing him and only three pokèball left. She sighed and walked in, shutting the door casually, that Professor Birch could hear.
"Ah, Kelsey. You are really early."
She nodded. "Just wanted to get an advanced start."
"Well, since you are here, you get to pick first."
"I want the Water type.."
"Ah.. Mudkip." He said, picking up the pokèball and handing it to her. She held it in both hands, staring at it, but listening to him.
The Pokèdex was the only thing that was missing. When he handed it to her, she held the ball in one hand and grabbed the Pokèdex in the other and pushed it in her front pocket carefully. When she went to hold it in both hands, her finger slipped. Both cover their eyes as a bright light came from the red and white ball, then it stopped. Kelsey opened her eyes and looked on the floor.
"Mudkip!" It squeaked.
She knelt down and smiled some. "Hi."
The Mudkip sniffed at her then smiled. "Mudkip!" It yelled again, seeming to hug her.
"Good choice.. Looks like you two will get along well." He smiled as Kelsey returned it and pocketed the pokèball and stood. "Come on, Mudkip. Let's get going."
She bowed at Professor Birch lightly and waved bye, walking toward the door. "Thank you, Professor Birch." She said, exiting and heading toward Petalsburg City.

Garcain followed the two to the bottom of the tree and made a sprint for the lab's entrance, coming in, only a second after them.

"You're certainly eager, aren't you?" He said, panting a little.
He straigtened up, removing his hat and stuffing it into his messenger bag, revealing his bright blonde hair.
"Hey Birch, i'm here to pick up, and don't worry these two aren't with me."

Alistair was more then ready, they went over this, what seemed like a million times. "Yes Veronica..Im ready" He said, his heart beating as it raced in his chest. The two partners, both skilled in combat, would be committing a crime, a crime that would send them to jail for a very long time if caught. "Let's do this." Cracking his neck, he got into a sprinting position. This would be a quick, and take over mission.

Alistair ran, right to the side of Veronica, he ran. The two have been running threw the woods for quite some time now, wanting to place distance between the townspeople, and the two thieves. Recalling from what happened, Alistair had knocked the lab assistant out with ease, and watched his Partner do the rest, even though she was a girl, it was foolish to underestimate her. She was strong, and could take down many with her small size. Legs burning, Alistair decided to ask her a question. "Think it would be alright to set up camp for the night?" Looking for a response, he eyed her, as they continued to run.

Alistair nodded, "Sure". Opening up his pack, Alistair reached for the lighter. "Here we go" He mumbled, as he walked over to the dry pieces of wood, and dry leaves. Lighting them, he sat back against the tree. By now the night was dark, and the only light was from the fire. He didn't think that anyone was going to be looking for them at this second, if they did, well they better get ready for a rude awakening. People, Alistair, and veronica could take down easily...it was the Pokemon they would have trouble with, but they just got two new pokemon, for the VERY reason.
Turning to his teammate, he opened his mouth, then closed it...She was doing, what he was thinking, by perhaps taking out their pokemon, and getting to know them. "Should we? Or shouldn't we?" Alistair replied, with a devilish grin. Awaiting her response.

Alistair witnessed Veronica, and her new pokemon. It was cute, but very small..All though she didn't seem to care, he knew that she liked her new pokemon, and what surprised him was that after she fell asleep, the pokemon curled right up beside her, looking at her every so often, when she made noises in her sleep.

He hoped that his pokemon had liked him, recalling a memory, Alistair sat back, remembering.

~~++"I like that one" Alistair said to his superiors. Pointing to the screen to the grass, gecko pokemon. He didn't know anything else about the pokemon, except that it was grass, and looked strong. Thats it..that's all he based his liking off of. The people around them looked at him, knowing him to always get the mission done, but also that he was so freaking weird. Veronica, the cool, and collected one carefully reviewed her choice, knowing that when stronger, the pokemon would evolve into a fighting type. She liked fire, and fighting. "Two strong combination's" she said, recalling from memory. Alistair watched from the floor, as she looked on. Their commander spoke again, drawing attention to him. "You will go to this mans lab, Professor birch lab..their he will have starter pokemon, in a large supply. You will go in, and take the pokemon, by any means necessary . Don't leave any trace you were their, got it? When this is completed, go to the nearest check point, and you will be given further orders..over and out" The commander said, walking out. ++~~

This is what happened last, Alistair thought. As soon as they woke up, they would have to go to the next checkpoint to get more orders.


"Go Treeko!" Alistair said, as the grass lizard pokemon came out, instantly jumping into the closest tree, climbing like a monkey. "Just like me" He said, as he stood up, dusted his backside off, and started to climb.
