Caleb was out with his Mudkip and Heracross getting some snacks when the power suddenly went out.
"Great..." Caleb sighed, taking out his TADS. No signal. That made things even better. "Let's just hurry back to the hotel...." he told his pokemon.
Caleb called back his Heracross. His Mudkip climbed up to his shoulder. At least this way they couldn't get separated. Together the two of them carefully made their way back.

Allen's eyebrows went up, "Hmm, I wonder what's up. The power plant might not be operating properly." Which was odd, those people were always on their game, why would today be any different?

"Hmmm... Let's see if it's like this on the other side of town." Maddy said, leading them all to the train. Coumarine was built around a mountain, and the only way to reach the other half of the city was by train.
As she neared the train station, she noticed a few lights on in the building and the train.
"Back-up power. Just as I thought."
She entered the station and noticed that quite a few of the townsfolk had gathered there. They were all pushing, trying to get on the train. The train conductor and other staff seemed to be preventing them though.
Maddy scratched at her head and glanced back at the others.
"Are black outs really that big a deal here?" She asked out loud.
She took her TADS out again. Still no signal.

She took her TADS out again. Still no signal. "I wouldn't expect blackouts to be that serious this close to the power plant though" Rose answered as they saw all the townsfolk at the train station "Do you have your Alakazam with you, boss?" Rose asked Maddy "Judging by this crowd, it might take a while before we could catch a train. Teleporting may be more efficient."

Michael followed the others until they reached the train station. "Um yeah we probably are not catchin' this train." Michael then listened and agreed with Rose when she mentioned the teleporting part.

Caleb returned to the hotel only to be disappointed. The building was pretty much deserted.
"Now what?" Caleb asked aloud, stuffing his hands into his pockets. His Mudkip looked around before hopping down from his perch. "Kip!" he called before hurrying down the street. Now Caleb was getting separated from his pokemon.
"Wait up!" Caleb called, hurrying after the mud fish. He was led right to the train station. He slowed down a bit, raising an eyebrow at all the people trying to get on the train. Well he had found people, but not his pokemon. The Mudkip dashed around the forest of legs before calling out again to his trainer. Caleb looked down as he heard the cry, and not looking where he was going, ran into none other than Allen. Nice going there.

Maddy sighed. "I didn't bring Tiresias today and I'm too lazy to go back and get him."
She looked to her two dragons and nodded. Both Pokemon returned the nod and let out a loud roar, in unison. The commotion in the train station stopped and everyone turned to look at them.
Maddy smiled nervously. "Make way, please."
Slowly but surely, the crowd parted and let Team Aqua approached the train conductor.
The man sighed.
"I'm sorry, but the power plant has been taken over so I'm not allowing anyone access to the other side of town." He began to explain. "If the men who have taken over the plant come to our town, who knows what they'll do? Keeping the train on this side will stop them from passing through."
Maddy sighed and shook her head.
"Did you even bother evacuating the residents on the other side of town before making this decision?" She asked.
"Well, uhhh, no. I--"
"Bring myself and my teammates over. We'll go see what's up with the plant. At the same time, you can evacuate the rest of the town safely over to this side."
The man sighed; clearly he was afraid of whatever may happen. "V-Very well then."
He stepped aside.
Maddy led her friends on board the train. She situated herself in the first compartment, placing herself in the darkest corner by a window. She crossed her arms while she waited for the others.

Rose grinned at Maddy "That was awesome" she complimented Maddy before racing onto the train and taking a seat. It sounded like the power plant was taken over, and that made Rose think that it was Team Flare, which meant that they were in for some action more then likely. Rose was grateful that she visited the Pokemon Center today.

Allen turned around after being bumped into. "Mm? Oh, hey Caleb, Mady's about to get us on the train out of here. You're lucky you found your way over here to the station." He chuckled and pulled him through the crowd to meet up with the rest of the group.

Caleb blinked a bit. "Oh..." He was taken aback by Allan's comment about making his way over to the station. His Mudkip was looking quite pleased now. Before he could get in an apology for bumping into the guy though, he was dragged through the crowd and caught view of the rest of the group.

"Hurry up, ya slowpokes." Rose called after the others from on the train, grinning and seeming excited to find out what was waiting for them.

Once everyone was inside the train, the conductor followed them and closed the doors behind them.
"Who are you people, anyways?" He asked, starting the train up. They were headed towards the other side of town, coasting around the mountain that split the Coumarine in half.
Maddy remained quiet a few moments before answering.
"We're Team Aqua." She responded to the man.
"Sounds familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on why. Not related to Team Flare, I hope?"
Maddy shook her head. "No. We fight against them.
"Well, that's good. The world needs more people like you."
After a few minutes, the train pulled to a stop at the next station. Sure enough, there was a crowd of civilians waiting. Everyone left the train and allowed the town residents to enter.
"Be careful and good luck!" The conductor said to Team Aqua as the last of the town piled into the train. He closed the doors to the train and was off.
Maddy sighed.
"Let's get going."
She had her hands in her pockets as she walked, leading them out of town.
"So, what were you all doing before the black out hit anyways?" Maddy asked them as they walked. They were just leaving town.

I spent the better part of the day training with my Pokemon on route twelve" Rose told Maddy in answer to her question "Then I visited the Pokemon Center and finally rode the train back to the port side of the mountain. I was in no hurry to return to the Hotel, so I explored a bit and ran into you, boss."

Caleb followed everyone on to the train. He looked out the window as Maddy talked with the train conductor. He only managed to catch a few snipets of their conversation. Team Flare? He'd only heard a few rumors of the group from people traveling through Ambrette.
Caleb used one of the bars beside the seats for support as the train came to a stop. He hurried off after the others before the new passengers climbed on board.
"Me? Uh...my team and I did a little bit of training...and then explored the town a little after," Caleb answered. Caleb's Mudkip licked some chocolate off his face, looking pleased. "Save some of those for me..." Caleb told him in a lowered tone.

Outside of Coumarine City was a barren wasteland; a vast desert filled with a whole lot of dust and nothing. The closest part of the Kalos Power Plant was built into the side of a great wall of rock, west of their current location. Looking around, however, Maddy could see that all of the other plants were out too.
"It seems this blackout may be Kalos-wide. We'll need to get to the central part of the plant." She said, heading towards the nearest Power Plant.
Up ahead, she could see a few members of Team Flare just hanging out.
"Company. Wonderful."
She reached to her belt and plucked off a Poke Ball.
"Let's get this started!"
[Reserve your post. Everybody battle one Team Flare grunt. They use 1-2 Pokemon, of either the Dark- or Fire-type.]
