Welcome to Gaia! ::

Arekku barely spares a glance at him before he says, "Hey Tommy." That's when his cell phone rings, "Hello?" He answers, "But!.... Why do I have to run to B and N with you!?..... Ugh! Whatever by... Hey I'll be back in like a half an hour, I'm really sorry, Tommy." He gave a very apologetic look then tossed Stormy's pokeball and flew off.

Ginji walks in with his lifeguard clothes on. "And it looks like everyone left." he sighed as he sat on the couch and turned on PBN.

"Awesome." Ginji laughed as he watched the battle between a Nidoking and a Gengar. "Reminds me of something nostalgic..." he said, referring to the television's battle.

"hey." Tommy greeted as he walked in to HQ. "Anyone want to battle?" he added as he started eating bread with nutella on it. *Plops on couch and watches as well.*

Tommy walks in, arguing with Marshtomp. "But i wanna go ASAP. Meaning now!" Marshtomp argued. "yeah, but i wanna bring a group of people." "But you KNOW your not supposed to!". The argument went back and forth like this, on and on and on...

MISSION- Flame on!
Go catch a fire pokemon!

Pokemon:
Any non evolved, non legendary fire pokemon

Money: 600



Arekku finally decided to take a break with all the huge important missions. He wanted something simple, easy almost, that wouldn't necessarily put his life in jeopardy. Something he wanted to do would be good. Catching a pokemon? He hadn't even known that there were missions that were that easy. He almost laughed at the thought of just going out to catch something! “Alright guys, Let's go. I guess I should do some training against Fire type that we don't want, eh?” He looked at his pokeballs as if they would actually talk back to him.

Once through the teleporter he tossed Aro's pokeball, setting loose the large purple Aerodactyl. “Alright... let's see where we can go to find a Fire type...” He looked threw his booklet a few times studying where most could be found. “Hm.... Well this is interesting... Looks like these two are located in the same place but only at night.... Which it is.” He looked up at the cloudy night sky, the moon could barely be seen through the wondrously shaped clouds. “Alright Aro, we're going to a place we don't know all to well. So let's both be on the look out. Got it?” Aro nodded and glanced back to his grinning trainer, and in turn seemed to grin. “Alright boy, let's go!” He petted the back of the large pokemon.

Soon enough they were nearing the gap between Celadon City and Saffron City called Route 7. Landing on the outskirts of Celadon Arekku could hear the music and cheers of some kind of festival going on in the city. He shrugged, he never was one for parties so it'd be better if he were to just find what he wanted and leave. He returned Aro and began his trek through the rather short Route.

While walking along the bushes and through the tall grass it appeared to be buzzing with active night time pokemon. Suddenly what looked like a shadow with bones sticking through the top of it ran across the little warn path Arekku was on. He barely recognized the blur as a Houndour. The pokemon ran around behind him like it was circling him but stopped and Arekku turned around to face him. The Dark Pokemon was snarling at him like a rabid beast. “Okay but remember you asked for it!” He began to toss a pokeball but felt a sharp pair of fangs dig into the back of his leg. He reeled back in pain and cried out loudly. He firmly kicked his other foot back and stuck a nice kick to the neck or mid body of whatever had bit him. He spun around to see a Vulpix starting to stand back up.

Houndour could be heard from behind him running toward the trainer, who spun around with one hand out able to catch the pokemon's front right paw in mid jump and toss it into the other attacker.

The two stood up and began their slow advance toward Arekku. “Alright guys, but like I said before, you asked for it...” he tossed two pokeballs revealing the two fighting types, Tess and Ruki. Houndour, as if remembering that it had a weakness against Fighting pokemon, seemed to take a step back but got right back up next the Vulpix not too long after. Arekku was actually fairly pleased that he found the two Fire types easily. Ruki ran at Vulpix and clapped on the end of it's nose, surprising and flinching the opponent. Houndour ran at Tess and quickly Headbutted Tess backward, surprisingly causing her to flinch. Tess and Ruki were able to get back into position as well as the Houndour and Vulpix.

Houndour took the first strike in the second turn, it's mouth lit up due to it's two fiery fangs in a Fire Fang attack. It was able to chomp down on Tess's leg, causing her to flinch. Vulpix opened it's mouth and shot four large purple fire balls at Tess which weren't dodged and caused a massive burn on her forearm. Not letting the burn have an effect on her she ran at the Houndour with her arms crossed. She chopped doing massive damage with her Cross Chop attack. The Houndour tumbled backwards against a tree and was near fainting. Arekku quickly tossed a pokeball in it's direction. In a flash of red light then pokeball engulfed the pokemon the begin fighting for it's freedom. Arekku and Vulpix were both holding their breath.
''Wriggle,,
''Wriggle,,
''Wriggle,,
.......Ding!

The Houndour had been caught. “Awesome! Now! Vul-..” There were blinking lines where Vulpix should have been but Ruki was gone to he could barely see her shape running after the small Fire type. Arekku hurried on after, limping slightly due to his minor injury. “If I play the White Flute, that Vulpix might turn around....” He was getting close to Ruki and the pokemon as he pulled out his White Flute and played a little. A few pokemon in the trees looked from their perches at him and with that, the Vulpix turned around ready to begin fighting with him again. He returned Tess, no longer in need of her assistance. Since this was a new battle Ruki thought it'd be a good idea to start things off with Fake Out as she had last battle. She ran up quickly and clapped on the opponent's nose, causing the enemy to flinch.

As Vulpix regained herself Ruki had backed up near Arekku. Vulpix ran at Ruki but stopped not to far away. Okay, weird. Ruki was about to attack Vulpix but stopped, In Arekku's eyes, Ruki's appearance had begun twisting and bending, eventually Ruki had been tossed backwards and was back to normal. Extrasensory. Ruki was barely able to stand up as she centered herself and ran at the foe and had used an awesome Counter. Which nearly fainted the opponent Vulpix.

Arekku already had the pokeball in his hand and was waiting for this chance. He tossed the pokeball which connected with the Vulpix's nose. Like with Houndour, the red light engulfed Vulpix and began shaking due to the Vulpix's will to break free.
''Wriggle,,
''Wriggle,,
''Wriggle,,
.......Ding!

Vulpix had been caught with the help of Ruki. Arekku quickly checked his watch, he'd spent less than an hour trying to catch the two small fire types. He returned a huffing Ruki and limped back to where he'd landed, tossed Aro's pokeball hopping on him and taking off for HQ.

The arrived soon after with a simple mission completed and two fire types caught.

Sammy walked into the common room, fiddling with the ring on her finger. It was so weird wearing it now. She stopped, waving to everyone. "Hi all!" she greeted, plopping down on the couch.

Sammy grinned. "Adie, Adie, ADIE!" she called happily, glomping her old friend. She then took a glance at the ring herself. "No one you know-- Old friend. Sooooo, how're you and Mr. Coooody?" she questioned.
