Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oh, oka-- Wait, Lucarios been missing? o.o" Sammy asked, astonished. "Man, we need an Aqua newspaper, or something," she mumbled, "so, what's on your agenda, then? I'm guessing the answer to that would be 'nothing', hmm?" Sammy let out a yawn, knowing that there was probably nothing going on.

"Wow; I need to be here more. sweatdrop " Sammy chuckled guiltily, then looking back up. "Journalism isn't exactly my forte; but thank you for the 'sentiment' of sorts. ^^" Sammy commented, a crooked smile crossing her face. "Well, I hope Mr. Lucario is okay..." She worried; she didn't know why she still called him 'Mr.'.

Sammy had fallen asleep on the couch, and now awoke to the sound of her stomach growling. "Oi... I'm hungry... 'Ello, anyone who's here! sweatdrop " She called out before racing to the kitchen. She got herself a popsicle, (as if that would settle her appetite... =.=) and went back to the main room.

Ike and Maddy had once again time traveled, and this time, Ike had no knowing what date it was. Whenever it was where they were at, It had to be back a long time ago. There were no cars, no electricity, no running water... it was as if they were before the industrial revolution or something.
Having an idea as to where they might find Ho-oh, Ike and Maddy then hiked all the way north from Ilex Forest to Ekruteak City. Ike and Maddy had somehow lost each other, so Ike was only with his partner and Celebi, who happily went wherever Ike went. The pokemon was a little bit too happy for the mood Ike was in, but if Celebi was his only ticket home (wherever that was) he'd smile and go about his business.

It was in the evening and Ike had just reached the town gates of Ekruteak City. His jaw dropped at the old skyline. There they stood towering into the evening sky; both the Tin and Brass Towers, and both standing triumphantly over the town. The houses and buildings looked like something out of an old feudal Japanese fairy tale, the people the same. The best he could do to blend in was not to be seen at all as he stuck to the tight ally ways.

Maddy was wandering down a dirt road, not really worried about being seperated from Ike. They were headed the same way, so they'd meet up one way or another. She stopped when she heard a rustling in the bushes and she whipped around to find the nervous guy from Team Shadow approaching her. She instantly thrust her left hand out at him, and a burst of purple flame shot towards him and then suddenly flew off course and disappeared off into the sky. However, a purple blaze remained on her left hand, and it didn't hurt for a few moments, but then it started to burn, seering pain going all up Maddy's arm. She shook her hand until the flames ceased, panting. "Damn..."
"You can't control your powers? Go figure..."
Maddy glared at the man. "Shut up!" She turned to walk away.
"Team Shadow can offer you the chance to see the true extent of your power. Just snatch that Celebi and join us. Team Aqua is only dragging you down."
Maddy stopped in her tracks and pondered his words. "Screw you..." She started walking again. Ecruteak was coming into view by now, but the words of the man lingered in her mind.

Troy walked in, holding Sammy by the ankles. She was dangling, only the tips of her fingers able to reach the floor. "Hello... @_@" She muttered, her eyes swirling circles that seemed to have no ability to see. Troy gave a grunt as greeting, still holding tightly to Sammy's ankles.

"Hiya, Mr. Ginji! ^^" Sammy greeted, making a failed attempt at waving... It looked more like she was frantically trying to get rid of a bee. "I've been fine!" She said, Troy letting her slump to the floor. "And you?"
