Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Mumbles to self* "God i have to love this new way of transportation beats the hell outa flyin everywhere...... i wonder why we didnt have these at our old HQ" *turns to Ike* "So is there anything in particular that we are trying to accomplish today?"

Ike: *Crosses his arms for warmth* Heh, well, I guess not now. *Points up and over to the mountain range in the distance* We were aiming for those... ah the heck with it. *Grabs a pokeball* Let's go find some ice-types... *his teeth start to chatter.* Want t-to?

Ike: 'Ight. Off-f we go! *Starts his way through the snow, clenching himself to keep warm. He often thought of carrying some sort of bag to bring more supplies. Now he wished he had brought a coat.* J-just remember what you're allowed to catch...

*Hunter looks at Thards MKJ in the water*
Me: Dang... I guess I gotta assume they destroyed mine along with the base...

"Wing packs. Gotta love 'em."

With Ames secured in one of the back seats, and Dusclops keeping an eye on him, I get ready to depart. All I need now are the coordinates. I decide to get a head start on finding the island by heading south, where Dusclops seems to want to go.

*Re-sends TADS message requesting coordinates for Aquos Island*

“Ice types like the cold, but its freaking cold everywhere so where the hell are they”. I say to myself after parting ways with Ike no more than 10 minutes earlier. I begin holding my arms for warmth “Gah! Its just plain freezing here”, just after my complaint a heart warming yet frigid pokemon cry can be heard in the area just in front of me, exiting as it seems the pathway is shrouded in a oddly secluded blizzard only surrounding one portion of land creating a perfect circle all around it.

“I just HAVE to figure out what that is in there” I said to myself talking aloud again, slowly walking toward the snow filled area sending out Ninetales within moments of entering the “chill zone” to keep me warm. After a few minutes of walking witch was surprisingly more than I expected to be in the now whirlwind of snow a blurry figure came into view that seemed to be very startled by my presence almost like I just woke it from a deep sleep or something. “What are you!” I screamed aloud now in a trance of interest by the figure. The storm suddenly died down almost on cue to my words revealing a lone, beautiful pokemon that radiated an aurora like light. “astonishing” I said to myself as I stopped dead in my tracks but Ninetales kept on walking, a slow paced walk toward the alluring pokemon. About two feet away from the pokemon Ninetales sat down in the snow motionless as the pokemon attacked at full fury with a powerful Water Pulse attack that seemed to grow sharp ice shards as it shot through the air dealing added damage almost KO’ing Ninetales on contact but finally giving me a clear view of the now considered opponent.

“finally” I continued to talk to myself. it’s a Glaceon and no doubt its powerful… Ninetales staggered to its feet knocked out of its infatuation countering as much as it could with Flamethrower but it ended up fairly week muffled by the surrounding cold. Glaceon held its ground against the attack dealing fair damage but not enough to make the situation any better giving it an opportunity to shoot off one last water pulse leaving Ninetales drenched in the cold snow and unable to battle. I ran over to my fainted pokemon and returned her to her ball before she caught some kind of cold, although I don’t know if that’s even possible for fire types but better safe than sorry.

I replaced Ninetale’s spot on the field with Weavile hoping to even out the ice field advantage. “finally some action” Weavile said preparing to attack the opponent drawing power to his claws followed by touching the ground sending out a dark wave of energy dealing fair damage without coming in close range of a counter attack a creative strategy compared to his usual. Glaceon countered with Mirror coat taking full advantage of the previous attack sending the damage back at double power created by a wall of clear glasslike ice. Weavile completely stunned by the attack fell back off its feet staggering to get back up to get in another move rushing in at full speed with a Brick Break attack luckily landing on my part leaving the opponent in a state of shock giving me time to dig around my stuffed bag for a Aqua ball the only thing I had at the time almost slipping on the throw due to my numbed hands. The ball barely hit Glaceon but once it did, he definitely had to put up a struggle making the ball bounce around wildly in the snow but after a moment or so the snow died down almost immediately and the ball stood completely still in a crevice in the snow.

I walk out of the docking bay with Dusclops behind me, carrying the unconscious Ames.

"Hi Ginji. Any idea where the brig might be?"
