Caleb was busy counting up his winnings and reward. He quickly put the money away in his wallet as someone pat him on the back.
"Thanks," he answered. He wondered if he was really that lucky, seeing how he put bets on half the Skiddos that ran that day. "I guess it's really just about looking them over before the race..." he muttered.
"I suppose..." he agreed. Beside the thieves interrupting the earlier events, the day hadn't been too bad at all. He blinked a bit as Rei mentioned wanting to evolve his Scyther, and bringing up how he was uncomfortable with trading with strangers. "Yeah...people could just try trading you Pidgeys and running off with your prized Pokemon..." he shrugged.
Then he realized Rei was asking him if he'd help him evolve the Scyther via trade.
"Oh. Sure...I'll let you borrow my Heracross then," he added. He took out one of his own poke balls.

Rei smiled, grateful for Caleb's understanding.
"Thank you so much. I'll take good, temporary care of your Heracross." He traded the Pokémon and watched as Caleb sent out the Scyther to be evolved. It was an old custom, evolution through trading, but the traditional Scyther wouldn't have it any other way. Upon exiting the ball, the Scyther glowed white, and a brilliant flash illuminated the immediate area. It was over in a moment. Double the weight of its previous form, Scizor shifted slowly, adapting to the sudden changes as quickly as it could. It opened a claw with mild curiosity, then surprised itself with its power as the claw snapped shut. Yami the Scyther turned to Rei, pride shining in its yellow eyes.
Caleb returned the Pokémon to its capsule and traded back for Heracross, the evolution complete. Rei was happy for his newly evolved partner, and indebted to Caleb.
"If there's anything you need, don't hesitate to ask. It's the least I could do," Rei said to his fellow Aquan.

Maddy was standing outside Coumarine Hotel, a cigarette between the fingers of her left hand. She brought the cig to her lips and took a long draw. She wasn't wearing her eye patch tonight, so her green eye was shining eerily in the moonlight. She was leaned up against the side of the building, masked in it's shadow.
"..."
She exhaled a stream of smoke.

Something else green shimmers in the light of a lamppost as a man wearing emerald triangle shades approaches the woman. His long, white coat waves in the wind with each step.
"That's bad for you y'know?" He says with a chuckle. "Problems?"

Rose was heading back to the hotel when she spotted a guy chastising Maddy who was smoking a cigarette "Maybe not the best idea to pick on the boss" she observed with a chuckle.
As was normally the case, her Persian was accompanying her.

Maddy smirked as Dark and Rose approached her.
"Hasn't killed me yet. I'm not too worried."
She put the cigarette out and pocketed what was left of it. Her TADS then began to buzz loudly, indicating a call.
"Uhhh, 1 sec."
Maddy walked a few paces away from her comrades and pulled the device from her pocket, flipping it open and answering the call.
"Hello?... Yeah, it's me... Why?... Everything okay?... Well, s**t.... Yeah... No, don't worry... Yeah... We'll get it done."
She hung up the phone and turned to the others.
"The Pokéball Factory in Laverre City has been taken over by Team Flare. Professor Sycamore wants us to go and take the Factory back."

"Need to teleport there, huh?" Rose asked "We probably wont get there in time if we travel any other way, and we do need to kick their sorry butts." she knelt, petting her Persian

Dark shrugs. "I'm down. It's time to show Team Flare that Darks back from whatever he was doing." He says with a grin.

Michael was able to walk behind the others and catch what the mission was. "So what's the plan Captain? We just go and kick their asses or some other way? "

"We're gonna bust in and kick their a**', of course."
Maddy let out her Alakazam, Tiresias.
"Laverre City, please!"
Tiresias nodded. In a brilliant flash of white light, they were all teleported to Laverre City.
Maddy recalled her Pokémon and turned to the other three. "From what I remember, I think the Pokéball Factory is on the northern outskirts of town." She said, heading in that general direction.
"So how have things been lately anyways? I kinda disappeared for a little while..." She asked them, her hands in her pockets as she walked.

Dark shrugs. "Working." His glasses shimmer in the light. "Haven't really been doing anything else."

Caleb had just strolled outside when there was a sudden flash of white light.
"What the...oh sh-"
He stumbled as he reappeared in the outskirts of a town.
"...roomish."
He dusted himself off, looking a bit green around the gills like he did with every teleport experience. Then he noticed Maddy and a small group starting to walk down the trail.

"Teleporting is always fun" Rose grinned "Lets get these bi-otches and send them home to their mama's gripping what's left of their balls"
Persian mreowed approvingly.

Approaching the gate, they noticed it was closed and guarded by a group of Team Flare grunts.
"Let's start with these guys." Maddy said, readying a Pokéball.
She ran towards the group of Team Flare grunts. They seemed to be caught off-guard, they hadn't expected an assault on the front gate of the factory. Plus Maddy was just plain bad-a** and wasn't the type of person you'd want to see running towards you.
[Reserve your post. Fight one grunt with 2-3 Pokémon.]
Maddy released her Sliggoo as her opponent let out a Boldore.
"Muddy Water!"
A wave of dirty water rushed over Boldore, dealing a strong hit. The boulder-like Pokémon was still able to fight though. It retaliated with Rock Slide, striking Sliggoo and causing the little dragon to flinch. Boldore seized the opportunity and attacked once more, this time with Stone Edge. It was a critical blow. Sliggoo sure was taking a beating.
"Try Muddy Water again!"
The second attack was the finisher, leaving Boldore unable to fight. The next Pokémon sent out was an Eevee. Maddy switched out Sliggoo for her Skiddo, Muffin.
Eevee lowered it's head and charged forward, hitting Muffin hard. The little goat shook off the blow, eager to fight.
"Leaf Blade!"
Plucking a long sharp leaf from her mane, Muffin wielded the foliage in her mouth as if it were a sword and rushed forward, slashing hard at the Eevee. Eevee growled angrily and charged recklessly at Muffin, hitting her hard with a full-body tackle and even taking a bit of damage itself!
"Horn Leech!"
Muffin nodded and jabbed at the enemy Pokémon with her horns, dealing a fair bit of damage and restoring some of her own health. Eevee's tail glinted with a metallic sheen as it came around and smacked Muffin up the side of the head.
"Seed Bomb!"
Muffin leapt high into the air and did a frontal somersault, a barrage of seeds raining down from her main and exploding on impact with the ground. The rush of small explosions finished off the Eevee, making Maddy the winner of this battle.
She recalled her companion and waited for the others to finish.

"So much for the element of surprise..." Caleb shrugged. "Let's do this then..." he sent out his Togepi. He figured they had done so well before. Time to give it another go! His opponent just laughed before sending out their Gulpin.
"Use Extrasensory!" Caleb ordered. Togepi's eyes glowed gold before it shot a rainbow-colored beam at the living green blob.
"Pound that egg into an omelette!" the grunt ordered. Togepi cried out as the Gulpin smacked into it.
"Ancientpower!" Caleb called. His Togepi winced before forming a glowing ball of energy in front of it and shoot it at the Gulpin. The Gulpin rolled back to it's trainer.
The Team Flare grunt wasn't down for the count yet though. They quickly recalled the Gulpin and sent out an Electrike to fight in its place. Before Caleb could issue a command for Togepi, the grunt ordered the Electrike to use Roar. Togepi went back into his poke ball and Caleb's Chinchou took his place.
The Team Flare grunt laughed, "looks like you have a bit of a type disadvantage now..."
Caleb rolled his eyes, "use Take Down!" he ordered. The Chinchou rushed at Electrike before ramming into it.
"Use Spark!" the grunt commanded. The Electrike was clearly worn out, but it did as it was ordered. It aimed an electrically charged tackle at Caleb's Chinchou. The Team Flare grunt blinked as the Chinchou just stood there unaffected. "How is your puny little water type still standing?" they asked, sounding dumbfounded.
"You really need to research types and abilities..." Caleb sighed. He looked over to his Chinchou who seemed to be watching him already as she waited for a command. "Use Signal Beam," he said gently. She gave a nod before turning and firing a multi-color beam from its antenna at the Electrike. As she fired the attack, multiple blue shapes appear around the beam. The beam hit it's target head on.
The grunt stomped his foot before calling back his Electrike and sending out his last pokemon. The Houndour was ordered to use Roar, sending back Caleb's Chinchou.
"Now you can't use your water advantag-DAMMIT" the man through a fit as Caleb's Mudkip was sent out.
"Water Gun..." Caleb said with a smirk. His Mudkip shot a stream of water from its mouth at the Houndour. The dog whimpered, its legs all wobbly as it shook from the cold water. The grunt angrilly called back his pokemon before retreating.
