Welcome to Gaia! ::

Allen turned back to the man after Caleb's bishie glitter sparkle show died down, his eyes were a little misty, but he hid everything. The man looked over them, quite unimpressed and sighed. He threw up a hand, "You all heard them."

[Post Reserves: Fight three goons each. They all have 1-3 Pokemon and get progressively harder. The last should have at least 1 stage two Pokemon.]

Allen pulled out a Pokeball, tossing it up and in a bright flash of light, his black Greninja stood next to him. staring menacingly over the crowd. One man approached, "You've gone some nerve..." The man stared Allen in the eye, to which he could only respond with silence. The man tossed two Pokeballs, revealing a Goomy and a Flechinder. Allen glanced to Dolstro. "Ice Beam." He said calmly. The shiny Greninja shifted forward, his aura fading from a dark blue to a light icy blue in an instant, and releasing the Icy Beam to attack the Goomy, fainting it instantly.

The opposing Felchinder took to opportunity to fly forward and blast Dolstro with a stream of flames. The Greninja spun once, pooling condensation from the air to form into a mass amount of free flowing shuriken. With one fluid motion, he leaped from the flame and shot them all at the foe, taking it completely by surprise and fainting it. He landed again, ready for more.

Another man approached with one Pokemon already awaiting to fight. The Haunter chuckled darkly, but Allen stood unfazed. He called for a Dark Pulse to wipe out the Haunter quickly. The man returned his Pokemon and called out the next one, a Clauncher. He gestured for his Greninja to come back and tossed another ball high, the bright flash revealing a Whimsicott. "Energy Ball!" She nodded, concentrating a green orb above her head to fire easily at the opposing Water Type. A strained face showed on the enemy as he tossed out a bull. It's hooves scratched the floor of the cafe as it prepared to charge. "Neida, remember when we caught Wade?" The Whimsicott nodded, "Good." The Tauros Charged forward, it's horns glowing white hot as it prepared for an attack, but just as at got near the small fairy, Neida hopped high into the air, leaving a cloud of spores to leave the bull paralyzed and unable to move very well. "Good, Now Moonblast!" She gathered more energy above her head, this time a bright pink and fired downward, forcing the bull into the floor. The bull reared it's head and let loose a stream of flames to ignite the tiny fluff ball. Thankfully the attack did less than it was expected too. Another Moonblast and the Tauros laid flat, whimpering.

There was a green blur through the air as the next person's Scyther decided to jump the gun with a Wing Attack. The move was completely unexpected and scored for crucial damage. Neida fell to the floor fainted.

Allen's mouth sat open, he had nothing to say. He glanced to the slender woman standing just inside the large circle of people with a smug grin on her face. Oh she was going down. "Ubella!" He called, tossing his Volcarona into the midst of battle while simultaneously returning his fallen Pokemon. "Flamethrower" He called as the woman called for another Wing Attack to strike the Bug type. The Scyther was faster, but since the attack was expected, Ubella had enough time to expect the hit and fire of a stream of flames directly in front of the other Bug type. The Pokemon fell to the ground. The woman growned and glared tossing her next Pokemon to the filed, a Graveler. The Rock type laughed, rocking back and forth from foot to foot eagerly. Allen called for a Bug Buzz, hit hit the Graveler, actually nearly fainting it, but unable to. The opposing Pokemon smashed all four arm into the floor sending large chunks of concrete and tile up surrounding it. The Rock type moved uncharacteristically fast swiping the rocks from the air and tossing them at Ubella. she managed to dodge a few, but the majority of them hit and was able to knock her out. Allen quickly moved to his next Pokemon, one that had taken a bit of damage earlier but would probably be fine for this. Dolstro, his Greninja. A single Water Pulse knocked out the Graveler rather easily. The Woman bared her teeth, crying out.

"How can you be this strong!?"

Allen winced, unable to answer. The let out her last Pokemon. Allen nodded calling for a Dark Pulse to hit the Electivire. The Electric type blocked most of the attack but still took some decent damage. It then drew it's arm back gathering a huge amount of burning yellow energy to punch the Greninja. The hit sent Dolstro sailing through the air to roll across the floor, fainted. The Power-Up Punch also managed to psych up the Electivire, raising it's attack power. Allen thought for a moment and let his next Pokemon fly. The Reuniclus punched his Arms, ready to attack. The Electivire roared loudly, static building in the air, one could even see electricity jumping across the floor and even to the ceiling. The Ion Deluge held stable in the open. Reuniclus thrust his arms forward, shooting a blob of psychic energy across the field, the blob hardened into shards and pelted the opposing Electivire causing some pretty decent damage. But the attack the woman called for stopped Allen in his tracks. The Giga Impact caused Electirive to glow a bright white. The electricity from the Ion Deluge all shot to it, turning the energy into a yellow tint. It rushed forward recklessly slamming the Reuniclus into the cafe wall easily KOing it. Thankfully the Electivire seemed pretty dazed from all the energy, Allen would have enough time to quickly attack with another Pokemon. And he had just the strategy. He tossed another ball into the air, it came down to reveal a tiny Pawniard. The surrounding crowd, though they didn't like him, still questioned his decision until he called for a Foul Play. Pawniard quickly dashed beneath the large Electric type then around and over and under again. Alle the while slashing at it, finally he jumped up and slammed his feet into the opposing Pokemon's chest the pain from all over the Pokemon all collected together and in one final cry the Electivire fell, too tired to fight anymore.

Allen grabs Team Aqua's attention before another wave finds their way into another battle. "Lydia now!" Allen called, a Banette shot from the shadows dragging a pipe from the wall. Steam erupted into the room and in the confusion they slipped out a side door into the oddly empty alley behind the cafe.

"Back here!" There was a shout behind them. A bunch of people shot out across the alley in front of the Aqua members. "Lydia, Shadow Sneak!" A shadow shot across the ground knocking them all to the side so Aqua could run passed. She finally caught up to Allen, gliding right next to him, "Good job." He said. At the end of the alley Allen stopped everyone just around the corner, he spoke quickly. "Sorry I put you guys through all this, but now we have to split up. If anyone tries to stop you, don't hesitate to run."

[Reserve only if you plan on battling. Run through the city, if you run into a goon, you may battle them, but just pushing them out of your way will be fine enough. If a Pokemon helps you run away, they get an evo point if they haven't already (unaffected by EXP share and Lucky Egg)]

Rose wanted them all to get arrested, but recognized that there were too many of them in this gang, so she saw the wisdom in Allen's suggestion, they had to retreat, but Rose wasn't about to let them ALL get away. When they split up, Rose did flee, but not with the intent to get away, she wanted to be followed by as many as possible, remaining where they could see her, but beyond their reach. She ended up having a dozen of them following her, which made her happy, that was for sure.

Realizing she was in too good of shape for them to catch her, they did exactly what she hoped they would do, they called out a dozxen Pokemon "Capoture on!" she spun around towards the Pokemon and the gangsters, unleashing the power of her Capture Styler and lassoing the entire group of Pokemon with it.

Normally, the Styler wouldn't be effective on Pokemon with trainers, but Rose suspect that these criminals likely had some stolem Pokemon, Pokemon that had good trainers before they were yanked away and forced to serve the monstrous men of this gang, so she deduced that some of the Pokemon could be persauded to turn on their trainers.

Using her styler, Rose shared her love for her own Pokemon friends, and an unwillingness to fight against them, not wanting to hurt them just because their trainers were bad and tried to make them do bad things.

Rose grinned when seven or the twelve Pokemon turned on their trainers and a battle broke out amongst the tweld Pokemon as the seven overwhelmed the five, knocking them out, then surrounded their trainers, refusing to return to their Pokeballs.

Rose called out her Mareep "Those twelve bad men, use thunderwave on them" Rose ordered.

"Maaarreeeeeep" her little lamb used it's thunderwave and paralyzed the men. Rose went over and thanked the Pokemon that turned on their trainers and tied up the gang members, then used her TADS to call the police. When Officer Jenny arrived, Rose told her whta had happened and that these men were part of a gang that threatened to burn down Team Aqua's leaders home unless they came along.

Rose said that they were not afraid, despite the threats, but went with them because they didn't want to make their current residence a battlezone, so they allowed themselves to be kidnapped and then fought their way out, and she said that these twelce had followed her, and even tried to attack her with their Pokemon, but thanks to her capture styler she said she was able to convince some of the Pokemon to turn on their trainers.

Rose waited until the men were taken away to jail, then returned to Maddy'; house, grinning and feeling triumphant

Caleb stuck out like a sore thumb. He looked down at his Marshtomp, who seemed to be waiting to hear some sort of plan. Not exactly a common pokemon in Kalos.

"Sorry...you're going to have to sit tight in your poke ball for a while..." Caleb sighed.

Marshtomp just gave him a wave. Oh you Caleb.

After recalling Marshtomp, Caleb rushed through the maze of alleyways. The clouds overhead grew darker. Rain started coming down from the sky.

A figure stepped into the alleyway ahead of Caleb. "YOU!"

"Hurricane!" Caleb shouted. A powerful gust of wind billowed down the narrow pathway. The man slipped and fell, smacking his head. Caleb's Whimsicott stuck her tongue out as they passed by the unconscious man. Caleb hurried along, rushing out of the alley and into the street, trying to blend in with the passerby. Caleb you're not blending in with anyone. He quickly ducked into the red roofed building of the first Pokemon Center that he caught view of.

Before the nurse attending the front desk could question him, he handed over his Whimsicott and four poke balls before jumping over the counter.

Maddy received the message on her TADS and sighed. She turned to her Noivern.
"Time to start booby-trapping the house again."
She recalled her Pokémon and took a small screwdriver out from down her shirt. Luckily, her bedroom window lead out onto the roof, so she used the screwdriver to gently pry it open and get inside the house.
Going to the closet in her room, she opened it to reveal a whole assortment of equipment, ranging from ropes and nets to security cameras.
She grabbed a few of the security cameras first, with the intention of setting them up outside to act as surveillance. She had always planned on hooking the cameras up, but hadn't had a good excuse until now.
"I'm gonna be at this all night..." She mumbled to herself.

Maddy was passed out, sleeping face down on her bed. She was still in her normal clothes and was almost falling off. Next to her head was a laptop, with a program open that was split into 8 screens, each screen showing a different vantage point of the street and alleyway from her house. It seemed that it really did take her all night to get the security cameras up and running.
The baby Larvitars came barreling into the bedroom and jumped onto the bed, sending everything on the bed (Maddy included) flying up into the air and onto the floor. Luckily, the laptop was the only thing that landed safely back on the bed.
"Nnnnnhhh..." Maddy groaned, landing on the floor on her back.
She grabbed a nearby blanket and just started hugging it, falling back asleep.
