Welcome to Gaia! ::

Arekku, followed by his Haunter, Requiem, walks into the room with a sigh, "But missions are a hassle anymore, plus with that bout against that Mightyena, I don't think you're in any shape to battle!" He spoke matter-of-factly to his pokemon.
"Arekku, I'm holding my tongue to resist making a joke out of your statement." The Haunter stuck out his tongue and wrapped both of his hands around it.
"Har har, I said no, and that's the end of it." He grumbled something else but didn't manage to get it out before Requiem started bawling. Arekku's face turned sorry and caring. He reached out to rub the Ghost's back but his hand fell right through.

The Haunter started laughing really loud at his trick.
"That was a horrible trick you know..." The Aquan mumbled under his breath and the Haunter stuck his hand out toward him.
"No hard feelings right?" Arekku went to chake his hand but again it fell through the pokemon's form.
"AAHAHAHAAA! Classic!" Requiem whipped away a nonexistent tear.

The Aquan growled and returned his pokemon, "Har har, let's see you laughing now." He sneered at the pokeball. A loud bout of laughter rumbled out of the pokeball. "I'll box you!" The laughter quieted immediately. "That's what I thought. Eesh... Ghost pokemon..." Just then he turned to see that there were people in the room.
"Er... Hi guys!" He brunette blushed so hard even his neck went a deep shade of red.

With that he just turned tail and took off through the teleporter, hoping the cool night would calm his nerves.

"Hm, guess things didn't get as interesting as I thought." I give a lazy salute to where Arekku came and went, then return my two Pokemon and head for the teleporter myself.

Maddy teleported into HQ. "I'm bored!!" She exclaimed.

*Teleports in with Xatu*
"Eh? I hear someone singing...." I murmur before wandering in search of the vocalist.



...

After roaming HQ for a while without success, I give up the hunt and teleport out with Xatu.

*I walk out of my office*
Me: Well at least we have some forced time...

*Wanders in, twirling a stylus around on the touch screen of my TADS*
"Come... on.... you! Gah!" I voice my frustration against whatever game I'm playing.

"Yeah... I've now officially spent more time in the Past than the Present. I'm up to the Light Temple (finally) but running out of time in the second half of the mission." I close my system and sheathe the stylus for now.

I chuckle at Ginji's predicament, replying, "I have a similar problem: too many games I have half-finished because I don't have a lot of time. Golden Sun still sits in its box, unopened, waiting for me to wrap up my replay of Lost Age."
