Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ginji smiled as a Peon came up to him with a Pokeball drawn out. "Are you feeling lucky punk?" he asked as he too took out a Pokeball. It'd be rude not to exchange pleasantries with his enemy. The clone didn't say a word as he sent out a Charmander. Ginji laughed before sending out his Charmeleon who started by throwing a burst of flames at the weaker fire type. Charmander replied with its own burst of flames that was batted away by Charmeleon's claws. Charmeleon repeated the action, this time with a series of shots to confuse the defending fire type. Charmander ate the shots of fire before attacking with a scratch. Charmeleon seemed to laugh before attacking with its own Slash attack, sending the Pokemon into defeat.

The peon then sent out a Cleffa which was countered by Ginji's Clefairy easily. Clefairy started with a Metronome that made an earthquake that shook it up pretty bad. Cleffa replied with its own Earthquake, not doing as much damage. Clefairy laughed as it used another metronome to use Seed Flare, knocking Cleffa out.

The peon grunted as it sent out its last Pokemon. Oddish. Ginji smirked and sent out his Gloom. Oddish started with a Razor Leaf that cut through Gloom's defense before gloom attacked with a Sludge Bomb, instantly KOing the opponent's Pokemon. Ginji grabbed the Peon by the arm and sent him flying out the hatch, into the ocean.

Sammy walked up to the nearest Clone peon. From the looks of him, he was obviously one of the clones of an Aquan from many years past. “Okay, let’s get this over with…” Sammy mumbled, feeling a little uneasy about fighting someone who resembled an Aquan so closely. “Go, Vixen!” Sammy yelled, releasing her Pidgeotto. “Go, Linoone!” The Clone yowled; he obviously didn’t have the same ‘feel’ as an Aqua member. As they released their pokemon, the fight began.

Linoone was faster, so he went first. “Linoone, use headbutt!” C peon called, pointing a boney finger in Sammy’s direction. Linoone rammed head-first into Vixen, doing an okay amount of damage. “Vixen, use… Hmm, how about wing attack!” Sammy thought aloud, confident in Vixen’s abilities. He flew into the air, wings spread wide, and flapped vigorously towards Linoone. Linoone flew back a ways, landing on the metal floor. It did a good amount of damage. “Linoone, pick it up, already! Use fury swipes!” The C peon called. Linoone swiped furiously (Well, obviously so…) at Vixen, hitting four times. Vixen was panting a bit, but still well enough to stand. “Vixen, use secret power!” Sammy called out into the sub, the sound reverberating off of the metallic walls. Vixen did so, and the walls came together at the very spot Linoone was standing, smashing him between the two panels. It was so effective, Linoone fainted!

After they had both returned their pokemon, The C peon called out, “Go, Mightyena!” The pokemon soon appeared, seemingly out of no where. “Go, Squirt!” Sammy called, summoning her small, but powerful friend. “Mightyena, use bite!” The C peon called out. Mightyena ran up to Squirt and bit down, hard. It was a critical hit! Squirt only had half of his original health, now. “Squirt, use rapid spin!” Sammy called out to her little buddy. Squirt went into his shell, then sped towards the large wolf-like pokemon, hitting it in the middle of its chest. It did a good amount of damage. “Mightyena use take down!” The C peon yelled. Mightyena rammed into Squirt with a loud THUD! Mightyena was hurt a bit, but Squirt took a big blow. He was now gasping for breath, but still standing. Sammy knew Squirt couldn’t win in one turn, but he could do his best. “Use return!” Sammy called out, knowing that their close relationship would make a big impact. Squirt used the bond he shared with his trainer to power his attack… And Mightyena had only a small amount of HP left, by now. “Bite.” The C peon said simply. The task was soon done, and Squirt was down.

After returning Squirt, Sammy released Vixen for another go. “Vixen, avenge Squirt with aerial ace!” Sammy exclaimed, her voice fiery with rage. Vixen made the required move through the sky, and Mightyena fainted with almost no effort needed. “Yes!” Sammy called, having beaten the peon. She watched as she ran away, and she returned Vixen to his pokeball, praising him for his good work.

Sammy held on to one of the wall panels, afraid of the ship bursting under the pressure.

Kiara jumped off of Vixen as soon as they were transported in. As soon as she heard Ginji's words, she pulled out a pokeball. At the same time, a Peon turned and her eyes widened.

"You're not supposed to be in here," she warned calmly. Kiara watched her impassively.

"We appear on here, just randomly, you guys have, quiet possibly, no clue how, and that's the first thing you say?" she asked dryly. "No 'How did you get here?' or anything?" Sighing, she tossed a pokeball, and Satan appeared. Opposite her, the peon tossed a pokeball as well, and to no surprise, a serviper appeared.

"Start off with a bite!" Kiara commanded sharply, and Satan obeyed, rushing forward and latching painfully on to the snake's tail. It lashed the limb angrily, but to no effect.

"Poison tail," her opponent muttered. Kiara's eyes watched as the tail began to glow purple and she tried to call out a warning, but the poisoned tail had already took effect and Satan let go, the up-close poison in his mouth affecting him badly.

"Take down," Kiara commanded. Satan shook his head and rammed into the serviper, but took some damage himself. The snake quickly retaliated with a poison fang attack, and Satan howled in pain, but Kiara could tell that the attack had weakened the opponent's pokemon.

"Crunch" was the given command this time, and Satan steeled himself before launching and biting with all his might, just at the base of the serviper's "shoulders". The pokemon's eyes rolled back, and it crumpled into a heap.

Suddenly, though, the poison from the earlier wound caught Satan by surprise, draining the last of his energy. Like his opponent, Satan crumpled. Kiara recalled him and sent out Aquarius. The peon sent out a carvanha.

"Twister!" Kiara said. Aquarius started the battle by creating a large tornado, catching carvanha and sending it spinning. The piranha-like pokemon retaliated with an ice fang attack, and Aquarius cried out.

"Bubblebeam," Kiara said, eyes narrowing. If she could just bring the health down some more, a twister might finish it... Aquarius complied and the carvanha attacked with bite.

"Twister again!" Aquarius summoned up a last whirlwind, sending the fish spinning up into the wall of the sub. Snarling something unintelligible, the peon recalled her pokemon before tossing another one out.

Kiara sized up the mightyena with some amount of wariness. She was glad she had saved Nyoka for last, she thought as she recalled Aquarius. Quite the coincidence that the peon had had a serviper as well.

"Poison fang to begin, Nyoka," Kiara said, letting the wild snake loose. Nyoka attacked the mightyena with all his fury, sinking his fangs in deep. The mightyena howled and wrenched its bleeding leg free, sinking its jaws into Nyoka's tail with the same amount of force.

"Poison tail," Kiara said, and hid a smirk as the peon cursed for having her move turned against her. Nyoka slammed his tail down so hard Kiara thought he might have cleaved the mightyena's head open. But no, he hadn't, just left the pokemon very annoyed and very poisoned.

"Crunch!" The trainer ordered again, sounding annoyed. Once again the mightyena sunk its teeth in, somewhere along Nyoka's nine feet of body. "Night slash!" Kiara ordered. Nyoka complied, disappearing and reappearing behind the wolf, slashing down with a black tail. The mightyena spun around and snapped its jaws onto Nyoka's tail.

"Finish it off with poison jab!" Kiara said, and Nyoka's tail glowed purple again. Forcefully Nyoka jerked his tail out and then slammed the poisoned tip into the mightyena's face. The pokemon crumpled to the ground as Nyoka hissed his victory. Kiara hid another smirk as the peon recalled her last pokemon and retreated.

She then went to the control panel, watching Ginji take control. She began to examine the control panel itself, excited at the prospect of being able to see how the machine worked.

"Runs to pc to heal pokemon and returns to where he was standing*

"Sammy, like I said before, don't worry." *looks at sammy behind some chairs*

In acknowledgement to Reaper's statement, Sammy seemed to make a high-pitched sqeaking sound.. It could have been an 'okay' or a 'whatever'... It was very hard to tell.
