Welcome to Gaia! ::

I couldn't help but sigh raggedly. "We should have been watching her more closely, or at least send someone who can defend themselves better to do so. Like maybe a hybrid or something. I..."

I sat down beside Krystal and sighed again. I wanted to go after her myself, but I wasn't sure I was in good enough condition to go chasing after someone that powerful, let alone if my pokemon and I were strong enough to go after someone like that.

(Dear Terashi, Over here for the Side RP on this capture. Maniac Watching)

"Safety in numbers," I half-mumbled, giving it thought. "Maybe we should go show her how it feels to be overwhelmed."

I wasn't sure how much help I could be, but I couldn't just sit there and do nothing. I took Krystal's hand in mine and called GRAY for some teleportation.

"As a matter of fact, it is a big deal." Sol would speak up all of a sudden. If Maia looked behind her, she'd see the Ho-oh hybrid standing there. How he got there was a heck of a debate. "It tells a few things, for one. For another, someone such as you is hardly a laughing matter. Not that I've a problem or anything, as more than a few here can attest."

"Relax, I intend no harm. And if I was to refer to you as a freak, I'd have to ask you to refer to me as a hypocrite." Sol spoke up. "But for you to say you're less than a year old, I'd presume you're a clone or experiment, correct?"

Electra was surprised to see Eevee retreat and Pikachu hugging her all of a sudden, not that she didn't mind. And that's when she noticed their reflection in a puddle. "Pi Pika?! Pikachu?!" she shouted observing her new body. Their were slight diffrences between her and Pikachu such as a 'v' dented tail and slightly longer ears. "Well I definitely didn't see that coming. Say Freya, do you have any flying type pokemon?" Dan asked. Honestly he couldn't remember if she did or not.

Alex entered the lobby, package in hand with Z floating behind her. "Since Rain soaked and destroyed my last one, I finally had an excuse to purchase a new one. Good thing you copied the data from my last laptop" she spoke to the Porygon that was trailing behind her. The virtual pokemon entered the laptop and began downloading the files and data from the old laptop. The girl sat criss cross on the couch, staring at the computer on her lap, waiting for Z to finish.

Well that would be a problem. "Oh, well then I guess that rules out an air battle." The only other pokemon he had on hand were Talon and Bagon, the latter not much of a listener. "Well...let's go find Alex and see if she'd like to come with us" he suggested, returning Bucky and Rain. Electra was swooning over Pikachu so he decided to let her stay out. It didn't seem wise to interrupt them.

"Ha! It worked! Z! Z! Pokemon of the year" Alex shouted, slipping her goggles over her eyes. The girl would begin typing swiftly on the keyboard as a diagram of the goggles appeared on screen. A couple drag and clicks before the goggles began to display what was on the monitor. "Display, display. Back to full funtioning capabilities" she grinned.

"How I ended up in this form is a story that would take quite some time to tell. Sub himself's a human, and the only other clone here is Amaranth. She being one of me, due to some stuff Ein did before his death... in any case, there's none of us here with robotic origins." Sol explained. "As for the team itself, ragtag might be an appropriate term, but I wouldn't call us an army in any sense of the word. If anything, we're a group of individuals willing to take others in should they wish to join us, each of us coming from as many walks from life as there are grains of sand. Morals are a plaything at best to us, something best left to the individual and never fully falling into black or white. You could say our collective intentions balance out into the gray area that lies between."

A part of him had a feeling that his speech might've come off as some kind of sales pitch. But it really was one of the easiest ways to explain the team.
