Solaris---Alfred---Orion---Sasha
"According to the journals there was one other who was with him when he came across this discovery. I will have to find her."
He knew her whereabouts already, now he just had to get a message to her.
That would possibly clear up the issue of having to convince the guilds to take the word of one who had only just been pushed from their thoughts and left their nightmares.
He raised a hand to his mouth thoughtfully.
Amassing a mental list of things to do before the meeting when he heard Tolin's question.
It was pointless to lie to the Scyther and put up a facade of well being. Instead he was blunt, quick to the point.
"No. I am not. But that is not a matter of importance right now. There are far more serious things to deal with, so much happening right now that to take even a moment to dwell on my own problems would be catastrophic. I'll not be so selfish as to risk the safety of the guilds." He folded his arms, turned his back to the old Pokemon and lapsed off into his own mind to plan.
It was at that moment Solaris peered into the room and padded in, pausing at the Gardevoir who did not turn to acknowledge him and then to Tolin.
"What's happened?"
"THERE'S A CARD IN MY HEAAAAD! WEEEEEE!" Orion's voice sang from outside, followed by the short swearing of Sasha as she attempted to dislodge the playing card from the center of his ears where it was sticking straight up comically.

 TolinTolin nodded, a smile across his face that was left unseen. This was the Alfred that the guilds needed; a person who would put aside issues and personal problems for the sake of thousands upon thousands of pokemon. " Good man." The smile faded back to a more stoic expression when Solaris entered the room. " We're launching an investigation into a few things. For now, Alfred needs time alone to string his thoughts together." He ushered Solaris outside and closed the door behind him. He promptly stuck the tip of his scythe to the card and pulled it out with a bit of psychic. He turned the scythe that held both the card and the sheet to Sasha. He kept the tip pointed down, of course. " Please investigate the people on the list, Sasha. It's urgent. We need to know if any of them have had children."

Solaris---Alfred---Orion---Sasha
The Espeon starred, perplexed, at the closed door.
His eyes followed Tolin's Scythe as he handed over a sheet of paper.
"What's that?" He asked, desperately wanting to know what was going on, but frowned when Sasha ignored him as well and examined the paper with a grimace.
"...dammit. I have to visit Gavin? I hate Gavin. I doubt anyone would want to breed with him, legendary or not."
The Lucario narrowed her eyes at Tolin as though it was his fault she was forced to do this and then vanished in a snap of a teleport.
Solaris glanced to the Scyther again, silent asking questions while his Grandfather poked the paper cut from the card above his own gem.

Tolin Tolin averted his gaze while he considered it. Solaris didn't need to know, but if he left the Espeon alone he was quite likely to try and break into Alfred's office and harass him. Well... a half-truth and a bit of a mystery would hopefully be enough to keep him quiet and occupied. Tolin did NOT want to deal with Solaris constantly going "tell me tell me tell me tell me"... " Some rumors have come in. I won't say where from or what they're about, but suffice it to say it represents a threat to the guild. Alfred will be calling a meeting in due time once Rebirth has completed investigating the necessary individuals." He paused for a moment, considering what all else to tell him. " For the moment, we don't need to take any precautions. The threat should still be far away... If we need to do anything, it would simply be to be wary of suspicious individuals as we always have." Or should, anyways.

Solaris---Alfred---Orion---Sasha---Gavin
The Espeon nodded, tails twitching. He wasnt happy that the Gardevoir would consult Tolin over him. He was still the Guildmaster of the Guild of the Sun, regardless of his being on probation.
He turned, possibly to go pester Alfred regardless when a crack made him jump and he turned to see Sasha reappear with an expression of utmost contempt.
"...apparently the idiot was on his way over anyways."
"Dont be that way, babycakes~"
Perched on her should was a black and red Shaymin in its Sky Forme.
Sasha raised a paw to shoo it away and Gavin drifted upward to hover in the air.
"But yeah, toots. Was on my way over. We got an eensy little problem to deal with~"
"Eensy?"
"Some psycho chick is running around and killing Pokemon! She says she is cleansing the world of the sinners or something odd like that. I would normally not care less, but seeing as how close I came to getting my head sliced off..."
"Glad to see you'll still save your own selfish hide."
"I'd save you too lovely~ Why did you want to see me anyways? Ready to declare your love for me?"
"Hardly. You got any kids?"
"...we can make some."
Sasha was not amused. She raised her spiked paw threateningly.

Tolin The timing was just too good. It couldn't be anything else. It was as if the cosmic forces had aligned in order to prevent him from having to make another trip. Or something. He nudged the door open slightly to speak with Alfred. " Gavin is here, Alfred. And he has something important to say." It was probably Gavin, anyways. That's who Sasha was muttering about prior to leaving.

However... Gavin wasn't alone in his arrival.
"FLIRTUOUS COWARD, MEET YOUR END!"
The earth-shattering screech echoed through the hallway, and a moment later, a shadowed blur leaped down from the ceiling, slicing clean through the Shaymin with an incredibly over-sized sword.
The dark shape paused, revealing it to be a dark, infuriated Lopunny.
She bared her teeth viciously, her eyes glinting with anger.
"The sinners came to play, but none go home today~" She sang, cackling psychotically.

The Gardevoir had just stepped out the door, in time to 'see' the Shaymin suddenly sliced in half and a gush of blood from the Grass type splattered horizontally across his ******** mind suddenly went blank, until the startled cry from Solaris as Sasha turned to launch herself at the Lopunny, snapped him back.
"W-WAIT!"
The Lucario wasnt listening, overly pissed that she'd been so thoughtless as to have been followed.

" I--I'm sorry, there must be some misunderscrew this." A legendary had just died, killed in a single strike. Celsus and Imiti, not exactly being cautious, prepared for combat. A simultaneous Teeter Dance and Sing attack were directed at the Lopunny as soon as Imiti turned sideways so that both of them were facing their attacker. An Aqua Ring immediately and pre-emptively appeared around Imiti, and he slung two Fire Blasts between its healing circles.

Tolin Tolin washed the blood from his eyes with a psychic. This was probably her, then. And, from the sinner bullcrap, it was probably her. Which meant flight or fight, and given how Sasha was already diving in fist first... Tolin shifted in front of Alfred, slowly working his abilities up. With that kind of a sword and strength, he would need to be fast. His scythes would need to be strong if he wanted to keep them. " Back. Back in the room, Alfred. You can't let yourself be known."

???The Lopunny was in hysterics at this point, delighted to have more sinners to swipe down to the underworld.
As the Lucario darted forward, she dove sideways, twisting to get behind her, and giving her a powerful kick to the spine.
The Lucario went tumbling forward, lying on on the floor.
Caught off guard, the Lopunny felt two attacks whizzing by her ear. She barely had time to dodge before she was hit with a massive ball of fire. She did, however, have time to cast Endure.
With a sharp grunt of pain, the Lopunny hit the wall.
She heaved herself off the ground, brushing the ashes from her fur.
As the insect spoke, her gaze flickered straight toward a Gardevoir, a blindfold over his eyes. There was yet another, psychotic giggle that bubbled from her throat. "Suuuuuecra~" She called tauntingly. "Are you here to play the sinner's game?"
With another kick of her strong legs, the Lopunny leaped high, slicing earthward with her sword to strike at the Scyther that defended him.
The ultimate sinner.
Suecra.

As the Lopunny came downward toward Tolin, Imiti enacted a barrier, angled forty-five degrees, right below their attacker. Hopefully it would disrupt the charge, because a Fire Blast soon went hurtling toward where he expected the Lopunny to land. (The following happens when and if our ??? engages Tolin in melee combat)Finally deciding that diplomacy was out of the question, Oliver drew two crystal knives and rushed in to flank. Imiti, meanwhile, circled around the battle until he could clearly see the Lopunny. Then he fired a Powder Snow, followed by a knife directed by telekinetic force. Then he sprinted like a madman until Oliver was safely between him and the Lopunny.

 CecilThe Smeargle stood outside the great structure, looking up at it in awe. Buildings were small in his home village, anything beyond two stories unheard of. So a hundred-floor tower was very impressive. Cecil was a special Smeargle, by the standards of his village. The paint-like substance that came out of his tail was black, a rare colour believed by his Clan to enable him to master any move he attempts to Sketch. Following in the footsteps of the ancient hero he was named after, Cecil had left on a journey to better the world and bring glory to his Clan. That Journey led him here, to the Guilds. He has heard of these "Exploration Teams" of course, members of the village sometimes requesting their aid. They intrigued him, this idea of a life dedicated to helping others. And thus he came. The idea of starting a Team wasn't so bad, it would give him plenty of opportunities to widen his current limited movepool. This was the Guild of Rebirth; the Guild that ruled over the others. He figured that here he would be able to get a better idea of what he was getting into before he began a team. And so in he went and right into the chaos~ "Whoa!" The Smeagle reacted in an instant, his tail glowing, its shape morphing. He slashed his tail across before him, and the knife he saw coming in his direction was deflected harmlessly to the side to clank against the floor. The end of his tail was no longer a recognizable Smeargle tail; instead it was straight, a consistent width, flat. It was a blade. Holding his tail like a sword, the Smeargle crouched down into a battle-ready position, eyes darting between the many assembled Pokemon, trying to figure out friend from foe.

Solaris---Alfred---Orion---Sasha---Tempest
The descending blade was suddenly struck by a blast of electricty, the lightning would course up the metal to the Lopunny's hand at a quick rate.
Down the hall a speedy yellow blur was making her way to the scene, Tempest of Storms the second in command of the Guild of Roaring Thunder.
The Pikachu skid to a stop, noting the insane Lopunny and various other Pokemon.
"The devil is going on here?! This isnt the time to be playing around you idiots! Diablo's been killed and Brenton is well on his way to join him!"
The sudden news did one thing, it managed to shock Alfred into breaking his vow of pacifism and step up.
One hand went to the Scyther's shoulder where he pushed Tolin out of the way, though not roughly enough to throw him off balance, and raised a hand to fire a Focus Blast into the Lopunny's abdomen.

Tolin Alfred's hand would find the Scyther already well in motion. When the blade came down he was already moving to the side, his speed and strength already augmented by Sword Dance and Agility. He raised his scythes, swinging them downwards on to the back of the sword. Tempest's electricity found a second host through his arms, but it was necessary; disarming the Lopunny was important. He would force the blade into the ground if possible, though the electricity would leave him a tad too rattled to continue his attack.
