Welcome to Gaia! ::

"This is Slateport." Archie announces and turns a bit, unblocking most of the map.
"Today we're paying the museum a visit... I've become interested in a new exhibit."
He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a Red Orb.
"But I should start at the beginning..." The ship begins moving, heading towards its destination. "This Orb is part of a two piece set. I believe these orbs are the same from old Hoenn legend... Legend of two warring Pokemon.
One that could cause everlasting heat waves. The other could cause everlasting rain." A small twinkle appears in Archie's eyes. He seemed quite excited over the legend.
"So, our goal is to obtain a stone slab in the museum that depict the legendary blue Pokemon. I believe that studying the slab could lead us to the Blue Orb and eventually to the depicted Pokemon."

Reaper sat and listened to Archie. He noticed the twinkle in his eye after he told them about the legends. No doubt it was about the rain. "Raiding the museum. How is this gonna be any challenging? Got a scientist convention or something?" He said, as his Poochyena and Corphish sat beside him, confused about what would be challenging with this mission.

Everlasting sun or rain wasn't exactly something Hunter was looking forward to; he liked the balance of nature. However, the idea was intriguing, so he said nothing. He wanted to see how this would end up.

Allen's eyes shot open. So he was planning on going after those legendary Pokemon that Dark was talking with Allen about. That did worry him, but really, Allen couldn't help but to want to see what would happen. Then he looked around the map of Slateport, He saw the museum, but nothing about it's interior. If he really planned to steal that slab it would be difficult without some kind of map of the inside. And then there was that Red Orb. He watched with intensity. A Relic of the past, oh he was so very interested in it. He cleared his throat to go back to listen to the chatter around the room. He decided it would be best to just keep to his thoughts and other voices.

"..... I can't reveal my true intentions to you all. Not yet." He faces towards the map, arms behind in back in an authoritative manner.
"New member, if you refer to me like that again, I will fire you. I am your leader and you will address and respect me as such."
The boat slowly comes to a stop and Archie looks around.
"You must trust me that this will be worth it. Now let's move."
He makes his way out of the room and aboard the ship. They were at a dock outside of Slateport. He assist the grunts to prepare for disembarking, leaving the rest of the group to ponder their mission.

Allen chuckled, at least he didn't threaten to kill'im, he thought with a shrug, he kind of took Archie as the sort of guy that would threaten someone's life. Regardless, he headed up on deck since the meeting was over. He'd just follow the group until they reached the museum.

Cody looked back to Maddy after hearing the rest of the briefing. "I agree," he, well... agreed. "He just seems so passionate about it, like he's really going to be able to get to do this. It just seems so fake, ya know? Like something about this just seems like a wild goose chase of sorts." He pondered the girl's response, taking Archie's conviction into account. He got up with the rest of the group and followed. He had never been to Slateport before, so he was interested to see what this museum had to offer.
