Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sammy, outraged, jumped off of Vixen and looked around. "Oh really? Then show yourself, coward!" she shouted into the thin air, obviously still as equally enraged as when she had found out that Memo had been injured. "I want to see your face! It probably resembles the swine you are!" she coaxed.

Memo then stayed completely still as he looked over behind him to see a knife that was coming at him.
"Ah!"
He ducked and Catelynn blocked the knife with her wings of steel. He thanked her and the withdrew her.
"Sammy! Tommy! Run!"
The boy sprinted into the forest and looked back to make sure his friends were following him.
"Damn. I knew he'd do this..."
He muttered under his breath. The boy scanned his surroundings to make sure no traps were set.
"Hurry!"

The hair on Tommy's arm popped up again, standing on end. "Greeeat. No need to run. No need to hide. Right, Sammy-kun?" Tommy added the honorific for no apparent reason. He scanned the surroundings... "In the sand, in the forest, in the ocean, in the sky, in front of us, behind us. He could be anywhere." Tommy said, getting ready for a fight. "Or right there. Yade, Yade..." Tommy sighed again. Tommy rushed the man, unlike Sammy, who tried to insult him. No need to get worked up. One shot. Tommy thought. Suddenly, his palm was filled electric power. "Shocku Thrust!" He aimed nowhere in particular. Shocku Thrust? Who came up with that name anyways? And why would I be using it? He thought some more.

Sammy heard something from the woods. Memo! Her mind shouted to her, and she mentally punched herself in the gut, although the pain she felt there was definitely there. "I'm coming, Memo!" she yowled, sprinting towards the woods.

"STOP!"
Memo yelled through the communicator as York was now moving in closer to the boy.
"Sammy and Tommy. You're objective is to find those pokemon!"
The message would've been heard through their TADS or any communication device they had.
"Quite the disobedient ones huh. Not like you hehe."
"Nhhh."
The boy struggled to move away from York's mouth against his arm.

A cold shiver went through Sammy's spine, and she grimaced inwardly. "We're gonna find them, Memo. I promise," she said simply. She jumped up into the nearest tree, pointing her ear to the sky. She listened... The cries of pokemon in anguish in a fairly large quantity could be heard. "That way," she said, pointing. She jumped down from the tree and began sprinting that way, due north.

York then went on to try and kiss the bottom of Memo's neck.
"Nyaa!"
The boy then did a split and a roll to free himself. He then flipped forward to land his legs on York's body to pull himself up and headbutt him. York flew backwards, but with a smile on his face as he skidded away. Memo's lips had barely touched York's in the attack.
"Heheh! Feisty, cute, smart, strong and fierce. You deserve a reward, Memo. The Treekos are located right where your friends are. But they'll have to battle a poached Rapidash if they want to get through the trap.
"Th-Thanks."
Memo was blushing and with that he jumped away to catch up to Tommy and Sammy.
"Contests huh?"
York said as he saw Memo go away.
(Battle a Rapidash and rescue a Treeko, keep it if you like.)

Sammy ran up to a caged treecko, and there were a few others in the vicinity as well. "Okay, little guy... Lemme just try to jimmy this lock..." she muttered, poking at the lock to the cage door. But, as she did so, a Rapidash approached them. "Ugh, I don't have time for this! Squirt, take care of it!" she yowled, releasing Squirt.

Squirt, seeing that the competitor was a fire type, knew that it wouldn't take long to defeat it. He released a wild Hydro Pump upon the beast, nearly extinguishing the fires on top of its head. It was sent flying back into a tree, which subsequently caught on fire. Squirt, in a panic, quickly used a Water Gun on the plant to put out the flame. However, though, whilst he was doing so, the Rapidash had managed to regain its composure and was now completely battle-ready. It came up behind Squirt, reared up on its front legs, and then brought its hooves down upon Squirt's poor little skull. Squirt yelped in pain, staggered backwards. His head had little Pidgeys flying over it and his tongue stuck out of his mouth dumbly, as if he were thinking about an ice cream cone or something equally delicious. Sammy, having almost finished picking the lock, looked backwards to see her pokemon in a rather bad situation. "Snap out of it, Squirt!" she yowled, bringing her pokemon back to attention. He stop, releasing all of the Water for a Water Gun that he could muster. It was just enough, and the Rapidash fled from the scene. He then returned himself to his pokeball; it had obviously been rough on him. "Thanks, Squirt! Arthur, can you bust this thing for me?" she asked. The Aron reared his head, then used Headbutt on the lock. Because his head was so solid, it broke open almost instantly.

"There we go. Thanks," she said to Arthur. She gently picked up the Treecko, then released it into the wild. She thought she had quite enough pokemon, or at least for now. She stood, seeing that Memo had returned. "Memo! Are you alright?" she asked, rushing over to him.
