Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sammy cocked her head, confuzed. She hadn't yet realized that Mr. Ginji couldn't see her head movements. "Catch Celebi? Why would Mr. Ike want to do that?..." She asked, suddenly thinking to herself. Celebi could go through time. Mr. Ike had made a mistake or two. "He wouldn't."

Sammy wouldv'e attempted to come over and help, but her pants leg was stuck on the bottom of the couch, and that's why she had been under there. Still, she yelled over, "What're you trying to find?!"

"Of course I'm not stuck!" Sammy lied through her teeth, a cheesy grin on her face. She then became a bit more serious. "So, basically, we can track where Mr. Ike is because of Celebi?" It was more of a question to herself; time fascinated her a great deal-- even though she never wanted to experience time travel.

Sammy grimaced, quickly coming up with and excuse to stay under the couch. "I've got good vision; I can see it fine from here..." Sammy mumbled, still attempting to untwist her pants leg from the leg of the couch. " Mr. Ike and Celebi must have bonded a bit; do you think that they'll be able to make it out themselves?"

Celebi was hit hard by the Fire Blast. Ike and Lugia both faced Josec with furious looks about them.
"We've been to easy on Team Shadow." Ike said, clenching his fists. "You've manipulated, kidnapped, and messed with Team Aqua for the last time." Ike declared. With that, Lugia shot a tremendous Hydro Pump at Solrock, sending it flying back into the steel walls and denting them. Solrock was knocked out. Josec took a step back. He recalled Solrock and sent out Raichu.
"You've tourtured countless pokemon, and you haven't a heart to stop it!" He said. Before Raichu could make a move, Lugia cried out with a loud roar and used Ancient Power. Large boulders came crashing up from under the floor and fired upon the electric pokemon, knocking it out as well.
"You're exactly the reason I fight for Team Aqua!" he said with a confident smirk. And with that line came a sensation of bliss. Of awakening. Whatever had been directing Ike the wrong way down these roads had disappeared. He was back.
"I will not accept defeat from you!" yelled Josec. With that he pulled out a snag machine and a Master Ball. "Say hello to your new master, Lugia!"
Ike, as if with the same speed he ran in his nightmare with Darkrai... with the fighting force of Lucario, sprinted up and delivered a powerful blow to Josec's face. The snag machine went flying in the air and smashed upon impact with the ground. The Master Ball bounced off an rolled away. Josec laid flat on the ground, blacked out from the powerful punch Ike just packed. He then looked up to Lugia with a smile, but Lugia was looking over at Celebi, who was stumbling to get back up.
"Celebi..." commented Ike, wanting to help. He almost ran over to hold Celebi, but Lugia stopped him with his wing.
"Remember Celebi's time traveling abilities. By the looks of it, this facility is new. Celebi could time travel us back to a time where this place was not dug out yet, leaving us fused with stone." Lugia warned Ike.
"Right..." thought Ike. "... then this will help us." he said, pulling out the GS Ball. He began to feel guilty about stealing this from Ginji, but the whole lab began to shake as if there was going to be a cave in.
"Quick Lugia!" said Ike, returning him. He then faced Celebi.
"We need to get out of here Celebi." Ike said, trying to brace for any falling object. "Do you trust me?" he asked, holding out the GS Ball. Celebi flinched as a pipe nearly hit it as it fell from above.
"Do you trust me, Celebi?" raced Ike. Celebi, uncovering its head, looked Ike directly in the eyes.
"Bii." it said confidently, nodding its head down as if to say "I do."
It's all Ike needed. With a quick wind-up, he swiftly threw the GS Ball toward Celebi. Celebi leaped up into the air to meet the Ball half way, and was swallowed up by a magnificent gold and silver light. It then fell to the ground, wobbled for a few times, and then clicked. Ike had captured Celebi with the GS Ball.
Quickly grabbing the ball, he ran out of the lab and passed the froze and knocked-out admins. Maneuvering though the hallways he found his way back to the room where Cody had blasted the door down from within the cave. He was nearly there. Nearly to freedom.

Ginji rolled his eyes before drawing on what little psychic energy was left from when Maddy had been frequently here and not just drugged and detained. He flicked his writs and the couch toppled backwards, freeing Sammy. "Now get over here and be useful." he smiled before turning again to the Porygon on the screen.

"These streams are recorded right?" Ginji asked the cyber Pokemon as it nodded it's head. "Good." he said turning back to Sammy. "What kind of time frame would he travel back to?"

"That might work. If he actually caught Celebi he might go back that far." Ginji smiled as he nodded to Sammy and turned back to give a command to Porygon. "Could you search the Orre Satellite's Video history for the past 4 weeks and try to find any Temporal Displacements?" Ginji asked as Porygon nodded and a new window popped up, going through the history ultra fast while the current feed still ran.

"I'm going to head out while this runs. Have a nice night Sammy." Ginji smiled as he walked to his room.

With a few more steps as he gathered his strength, Ike was greated with the clear night sky and dry air of the desert. It never felt so go to be in the middle of nowhere. With any luck, hopefully all that they planned on using for their shadow project was destroyed. Ike doubted it, but as for now he needed to find somewhere safe and far away from this place. With Celebi, he could travel time freely! Ike could travel time. Such a weird truth.

The desert moon shined brightly above Ike. He wanted to go back to Team Aqua to apologize for everything he has done. He wanted to help Maddy recover and see to it that each member could experience the excitement of time travel for themselves. But he knew something had to be done before everything could go back to the way it was. He called out Celebi.
Celebi opened its eyes and blinked a couple times, trying to become used to such a change of atmosphere. It then looked over at Ike with glee.
"Bii!" It floated around, greatful. Ike chuckled.
"I'm afraid we're not out of the woods just yet." Ike said, trying to calm Celebi down. "There's something we need to fix." he said.

And with that, they walked off in the desert, heading southwest and back to Gateon Port.
