Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Heh.... heh..." Chirp chuckled nervously. She really didn't know why they were hiding it, but they'd started already. Besides! all the movies show that clones and aliens, especially alien clones, always get taken by random government agents, and then you have to go on a crazy trek across the country, storm the place weaponless, and allude the scientists via the vents and laundry carts. And who wants that??

"So uh.. uhm... I guess I'm ready whenever..." Maia said, rubbing one arm with the other. "I'm sure I can do it! I've battled before! Got my own pokemon and everything." Maia said, trying to sound confident, but the fake enthusiasm just made her sound awkward.

Arthur decided to stay out of the space-talk. The idea didn't appeal to him so why bother talking about it? After seeing his Grovyle and Scyther spar enough he stopped the match. The two had been at it for a while now. Lancelot put his branch sword by his side and Gawain sharpened his scythes. They had been fighting to see who was the top there. In truth it was probably Viviane, the Milotic beside him with the ugly scar over her left eye. She still didn't like Arthur yet.

Tsuki simply layed in bed, feeling sick from being buried in the cold snow from the last mission. Because he failed like that. His entire team was in there, making it pretty hard to get in or out because he had a decent amount of Pokemon. And the room was small. Only Flyga his Flygon was absent but she was training with his older brother in Blackthorn City. He should have blown the freakig whistle. But she would have been hurt from all of the ice there. Getting up he recalled every last Pokemon, save Maggy.

Walking outside he saw Arthur who gave him a look saying boy I will slap you silly of yo do not get some rest. He reminded Tsuki of his brother Drako. "I'm gonna do it." he said "I'm going to become a channeler."

Arthur raised an eyebrow and responded "While you are sick? Do I dare ask what you plan to become a channeler in?" He waited for answer as Tsuki blew a whistle pretty loudly. Only Pokemon with super hearig could hear it so imagine a dog whistle for a Pokemon who was made to hear in tunnels, sandstorms, etc.

A female Flygon flew in from the west beautifully. She had gotten more muscles, in a lean kind of way. She'd be a way faster flyer than before. Doing a flip in the air she landed before her 'trainer'. Rubbing his hand on her head Tsuki jumped on her back. Letting Maggy stay for this adventure the trainer and Flygon flew off.

"I dunno if you're gonna find out much from it, but here." Ceramew said, picking the meteorite back up and floating over to hand it to RC.

Both Chirp and Maia were all smiles. Their plan was working smoothly! While Sub was gone, Chirp and Maia took a quick second to make some girlish, really quick excited squeals at each other, but managed to compose themselves before he came back.

Maia gingerly took the pokeball and Snag, as if they were mad of glass and feathers. "OK, I.. uh, I'm sure I can do it! I'll be back with that there pokemon!" She nodded to Sub, then at Maia, and sped off before much more could be said. She seemed to be really excited!

Chirp watched Maia leave, and sighed with relief once she cleared the door. As soon as the clone did, Chirp spun around to Sub and frantically waved her arms. "Oh.my.arceus. That thing is scary. She's super crazy and like.. flips out if she starts thinking about the fact that... well, sorry, but she's not my sister. Don't let her know that you know, but that thing is actually a clone of me." She blurted, sounding a bit concerned. "Not saying anything was like holding my breath."

"Ah, yes, the Beartic...if that's what it is." Sub said as he turned to Larry. "I suppose we'll have to take another trip there. Though I would like to find out where this thing is hiding out, maybe get a jump on it while its not attacking the city. Perhaps we'll have to go on a little safari hunt." He said with a laugh. "A...clone you say?" Sub said as he turned to Chirp. "And I thought Sol's was weird...how did this happen again?" He asked her, still confused.

Back downstairs with Io. "I suppose that makes sense..." Io said as she watched Reno closely, to see what he was going to do.

Chirp shrugged. "I have no idea. She knows, but I don't! The whole situation is just like walking on eggshells. But hey, I'd rather tip toe around her than have her stalking me like before..." with a sigh, she began dragging herself off. "Keep your enemies close, and all that! I gots some more splainin' to do just gotta find Hawk."

Swinging the door open, he gave a small bow and said, "Ladies first. He kept a hand in the nightstick because generally now is when they try to run.
