Welcome to Gaia! ::

The explosion would send Leslie flying out of the other side of the house, landing her square in front of another group of Rockets. They, instead of attacking, simply picked up the little girl and carted her off in the direction of the Game Corner. She would have protested, but the flying through a wall and landing in the middle of the next street without any protection rendered normal people a little unconscious. As to the other Rocket in the house, he had slammed into a wall and been held in place while the flames burnt his body. Any attempts at communication would likely be useless, especially when he looked like burnt toast.

Over with Kaya, the woman would struggle and stomp on his foot repeatedly in an effort to to force him to let go. Listening to his words, the woman would finally escape his grip and turn around with a angry look in her eyes. "I don't know!! Ever since the new management took over, this is what these people look like!! You can pick them up, pack them around and hit them repeatedly, they do nothing!! But I do know something: it isn't much different than usual." The woman growled out, uncaring of Kaya's attempt at stealth. "I don't know why they're zombies, but it sure makes my job easier." The woman curtly replied, returning to her seat behind the counter to peruse the internet again.

"Whoa bro!" Toren said as he spun around to try and avoid the man coming at him, barely missing contact with said individual. "Hey, I like a good full body tackle from a bro but at least let's get to know each other first!" He shouted.

Kain was lying on the couch watching tv wondering why HQ was so quiet today. He has never known Mt Silver to be quiet, usually someone somewhere can be heard, and yet not a single sound resonates. Kain was looking for Dante, so he could help him with his shredded and burnt coat, but alas the blue hair boy escapes his sights. Just then a news report comes up on the screen, "It seems that it has become a tragedy here. Just a few minutes ago we heard a loud explosion come from inside the city, reasoning said to be of a gas leak. The police have been out of commission until now due to some sort of Pokemon effecting their minds. Who is behind this?!". Kain knew already where his friends where now.

Kain heads back to his room grabs his gear, his pistol and his Poke-balls. Kain reaches for his signature top hat, and trench coat, only to stop his hands seeing the burnt suiting he lowers his hand, it hurts a little to see the only thing he knew himself to wear. continuing on, Kain strutted for the teleporting room. walking in he stands center on the pad. a robotic voice verberates "Now Teleporting Snagem Cadet Kain Devict".

Now on the pad Kain found himself just outside the city Celadon. to his left he makes out the news woman he was watching before, to his right a horde of police standing guard. Kain took sneek behind three wooden crates watching a man walking near, he wears cloaths close to what Kain wears now. "hmm a suit coat, tie , and pistol slung on side. all i need is the badge?". Kain slinks and slunks, behind the important looking man. with a hook of his arm he pulls the man into a nearby ally. "why thank you for the donation of authority" Kain cackles out the frightened man. "I won't shoot you if you leave now and don't come back for a few hours". the scardly nods, towards the jagged toothed man. without second notions the man now without his badge runs down the opposite end of the ally. Kain's grin widens, but quickly norms due to him missing the action. without thinking Kain sheefs his weapon and walks towards the guards. Seeing some guards sitting around Kain decides to test his authority, "Get back to work," Kain speaks clearly and firm. the men quickly stand up "Uh..uh.. yes director!". With a smile kain walks to the gate of surrounded by guards. "I have intel of being survivors in the middle of this, I'm taking two men to go look around." Kain says lying threw his teeth, with a nod two police in large bullet proof armor stand to his side. walking past the gate Kain listens for his friends.

Allen needed a way into that underground thing. The one they barely escaped last time, where he caught Beck seemed like a good start. "Lead the way, you know your way better than me." he said to his Koffing. Since his old trainer was Smarts, he hoped he'd know the entrances into the area before. 

The Koffing would quickly identify an entrance into the basement that it opened by tackling...a bunch of loose boards that almost fell of their own volition. The small neon sign pointing it out would certainly help. In Allen's hand, his SNAG would spring to life and send a pulse of sound into the hall. GRAY would finally cut after a second with, "You have a clear shot straight through to a main area through here, so best for all of you to follow our intrepid little primordial life form into this area. On a completely different subject, I have identified the oddity that threw us off. It seems a dome of psychic chi has engulfed the city and interfered with the transport. Now, I doubt you understand what that implies so I'll say it slowly. There is psychic chi, knock out source." The snide AI quipped to every member of the group excluding the two captured by the enemy already.

Leslie would slowly stir awake, a glazed over look in her eyes before she shook her head to clear it. Looking around the odd room, the bluenette decided the best plan was to slowly stand up and lean against Kain. "I feel woozy......why are my ears ringing?" The incoherent thoughts of Leslie rang out, her mind slowly regaining some focus. "I was captured? And here I thought Dante would get the short end of the stick first." She tried joking, still uncertain as to her exact thoughts at this moment with the strange semi-coherence.

The Durant would soon begin it's tunneling straight down, the earth swiftly moving out of the way. going down approximately one story through the dirt, the Durant would soon impact a metal wall that seemed oddly placed. Chewing through it without much effort, the Durant would find the warehouse full of people that Leslie and Kain were contained within. GRAY would speak up at that moment again, this time with a different tone. "It would appear some of your elite members managed to get captured and thrown into that metallic container there. I would teleport them out but you people haven't seen fit to find the source of this Psychic chi interference." Having finished his snide relaying of information, the AI would once again set to work identifying some of the other traits of the field and it's odd effects.

Over with Kaya, the floor underneath him and the zombified residents would drop out from underneath them and send the unintelligible residents to the bunker. Kaya, if he possessed a quick reaction time could escape it but curiosity would likely send him following afterwards. A sharp gasp from the counter woman would punctuate the disappearing people, herself unsure as to what exactly to do.

Kaya would indeed manage to evade the floor trap, though only just barely. He'd missed any audible cue that some kind of trapdoor was about to open but he felt it shift just before the bottom fell out, literally, of the building. He dove aside, tucking in around Tesserae in order to keep her from being injured and rolled just out of range of the trapdoor, standing up to look down into the revealed room afterward. Seeing what was down there, along with several Snagems, he decided he should join them and see if he couldn't help them get out.

Once in the holding cell, he looked to Tesserae and grinned. "What kind of attacks can you use?" He asked her, not actually certain about the little white fox's skills since she was so recently hatched. The Fire-type looked towards the nearest wall and spit a few smoking embers at it.
