A few hours past and Unova finally comes into view, specifically Castelia City. The city shone on the horizon, it was clearly similar to Lumiose City in the fact that it never slept. As the city got closer, the harbour and Team Plasma's ship came into view. Maddy frowned and drove the sub a little deeper into the water. They didn't want to be caught now, and if Zekrom was around still she wasn't quite sure what to do about it. She noticed a small platform near the outskirts of the city that seemed to lead into the sewers and the lower docks for smaller boats. She drove the submarine in that direction and they docked at a small wharf underneath one of the larger ones. They were cast in shadow here, so it was unlikely they would be seen. The door to submarine swung open as it surfaced, allowing everyone to get out. Maddy turned off the engine and put the sub key in her pocket. She handed Caleb a spare. "We need someone else who knows how to drive the sub, and I guess someone with some amount of nautical experience would be perfect for the job." Maddy smirked. "Who knows, maybe you'll pilot it better than me someday." She climbed out of the sub and pulled out her TADS, looking up hotels in the area. "I guess we can't stay at anything extravagant this time..." She muttered.

"Well, the important thing is that we know Team Plasma is here and we can be a thorn in their sides." Rose answered to Maddy "Eventually we'll figure out how to defeat those heartless bastards." she vowed "Until then, we'll make do however we must."

Jake yawns and opens his eyes. "Here already?" He stretches. "Too bad, I was having a great dream." He stands up and picks up his now pancake moe Gengar. Apparently she had materialized underneath him due to the beating she was getting in the dream. He waves her around, causing her to pop back into shape with a fart sound like a cartoon character. He puts the pink little Larvitar on his left shoulder and the blue on on his head. He gets out of the sub feeling like he was dressed in Pokemon. "Why not? We're here to steal that ship right? Who cares if Team plasma sees us? They can't do anything to us, not in this city."

Caleb blinked a bit, rubbing at his eyes as land came into view. Well they made it, without much incident thankfully. His brow furrowed whenever he saw Team Plasma's ship sitting in plain sight.
"I wonder what the police of this region do...?" he muttered.
Caleb stood up and put his jacket back on as everyone else stepped out of the submarine. He looked up when she handed him a set of keys. He blinked a bit, but accepted them.
"Alright. Thanks!" he said. He laughed a bit to himself at Maddy's last comment. He wasn't so sure about that, but who would know until later on.
Marshtomp walked over with his backpack. Caleb grabbed his other bags. Noibat swooped down from the ceiling and landed on his shoulder. Hopefully foreign pokemon wouldn't stand out too much here.
He heard Jeff's comment and sighed. He wondered how lenient the police would be here with them compared to Plasma. It was probably best not to do anything risky.

Rei was blinded by the bright lights of the city. So many sounds, so many smells! There was plenty to do in this charged city. Rei couldn't wait to explore.

Maddy located a hotel. It was in a back alley near the outskirts of town, fairly close to them. "Well, it's not the comfiest of spots, but it'll have to do." She said, pocketing her TADS. She pressed a button on the sub and it closed itself up, submersing itself beneath the waves. Maddy walked along the docks towards the city streets. "I bet the cops here are non-existent... Team Plasma has had a foothold in this region for a while, I bet." She lit up a smoke as they walked. "I wonder how we're gonna beat that dragon..." She muttered, mostly to herself.

Jake lights up a smoke as he begins texting. He seem a little distraught over the situation. "I have to report to HQ that we're in Unova now. And that the police for is lacking." He cracks his knuckles after he finishes his message. "I'll beat the s**t out of every crooked cop I meet." The Larvitars follow close to him as his Gengar perches comfortably on his head. It seems after defeating her Nightmare she has a bit more respect for him.

Caleb carefully placed the submarine keys in his bag. Best not to lose those. "At least we'll be off the streets...and out of the sewer," Caleb wrinkled his nose at the thought of that. Living in the sewer. Gross.
"That would explain a lot...about the cops," Caleb said. "That or they were just too scared of Team Plasma to attempt apprehending them.
"How dragons are usually beat....ice and fairy types," Caleb offered. It's highly unlikely there are any strong fairy in Unova though. "I guess we'd have to hunt for some though..." he muttered. He'd have to study up on Unovan pokemon for sure.

Rei frowned. If police were lacking, Team Plasma could be running all of Unova without opposition. A sudden thought occurred to the Aquan.
"I wonder, if we defeat Team Plasma, could we take over their position?" Jake's glare made Rei wither on the spot.
"Just a suggestion... I mean, there will be a huge void left if we remove them from here. I don't think I'm cut for law enforcement."

"Well, we beat Team Flare with Xernias's help, so since Plasma has Zekrom, maybe we should seek out the help of another legendary Pokemon?" Rose suggested to Maddy "I'm sure Unova must have more then one"

The hotel came into view. It was kind of just squashed in between two buildings in one of the dirtiest back-alleys Maddy had ever seen. The inside of the hotel was similar to the alley it was situated in. Dusty, dirty, and clearly forgotten about. A sweet old lady sat at the receptionist desk, a smile on her face. It was apparent that she ran this place by her lonesome. Maddy glanced nervously at her comrades and wanted to leave, but she figured the little old lady could use the money from their stay and it really didn't seem like Team Aqua would be noticed here. Maddy walked up to the counter and placed her credit card in front of the old lady. "Uhhh... I guess we'll just rent out all of your rooms." The lady's face brightened up even more and she began handing them all keys without a word. Could she even talk? Maddy glanced at her room key. It had a big number one attached to it. As she handed out keys, she noticed that she didn't have one for Jake. She looked to the old lady and she just shrugged. "I guess Jake is sleeping in my bed." Maddy said, pocketing the key. "Situation hasn't changed much, has it?" She grabbed all her things. "Well, I'm getting some sleep. If you guys go wandering around the city, try not to attract attention." With that, Maddy headed upstairs to her room.

For some reason Jake had an urge to see the woman's left hand. He shook it off after Maddy's comment. He places the two Larvitars down and tells them to follow Maddy. "I've gotta wait for news back from HQ. So I'm gonna go take a look around the city before I head to bed. See ya guys." He then leaves the Hotel and disappears into the night.

Rei couldn't shake the feeling that something was off with the lady, but he said nothing and took his key. His Zubat waved goodbye to the Noibat and followed Rei up the stairs. The walls were close to him, and he was reminded of the caverns where he met the Countess. At last, he found his room.
"Four. Ok then." He opened the door and looked around. The room was cozy and quaint, Rei had to admit. He was getting tired of the opulence in Kalos, anyways. He flopped on the bed and napped while his Zubat made herself comfortable in the closet.

Caleb took his key from the woman and thanked her.
"I'm going to have to take this stuff to my room....and I kinda promised everyone I'd call home to let them know I got here alright..." Caleb said, rubbing the back of his head.
Marshtomp was standing beside him with the duffel bag, waiting while tapping his foot against the floor. He clearly wanted to get out and see the sights!
He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at her comment about Jake. Then he tilted his head. Then finally he realized and rubbed his face. "G'night Maddy!" Caleb called after her.
"Let's get this stuff in our room and go see if we can find something to eat around here!" Caleb announced to his pokemon. Marshtomp was more than eager to eat something besides donuts and cookies. Noibat perked up as well when food was mentioned. Finding the door that shared the same number as his key, Caleb and his pokemon made their way inside.

Rose looked at her key, then nodded to the woman and headed up to her room where she could get settled in and relax. It had been an interestingly long journey.
