Welcome to Gaia! ::

After resting on the curb for a while, Connor got up, tired of all the passing glances he was getting. "Man...screw this city" he huffed and folded his arms. Just then, his Torchic burst from his ball and started running around as he usually did. He would have returned him but really didn't care at the moment. 'I should probably look for the others, I guess...' The tiny flightless bird had taken to conversing with some foreign pokemon with a orange and reddish hair spike on its head. Connor watched this for a moment before starting off down the street. Torchic ran after him when he saw he was being left behind. The little guy ran so fast that he passed his trainer and into some stranger. "Huh? Is that a Torchic?" the guy questioned, oogling the chick. "Yeah and its mine. So hands off" Connor stated, hands in his hoodie. "Yeah, no, I was just...wait. Is it even real?" "Of course it's real, what kind of question is that?" The trainer looked at Connor with a skeptical look as if he didn't believe him...and it kind of irked him. "Get this. Some poser had his Ditto transform into a Mew for kicks. Like, how desperate for attention can you be?" he chuckled before taking his leave. Connor looked over his should as the guy left and then looked up at the tower in the distance. "Seems like a good place to start" the teen shrugged and headed toward said tower.

Once there, he wasted no time getting inside and was shocked to see the league symbol here of all places. "A gym? Here? Isn't that like desecrating a landmark or something? Eh, this place is weird" he nodded to himself. No sign of Sub or a Mew though. Maybe he just missed them? A nearby elevator caught his attention which gave him the idea to continue searching up. One quick ride later, his red eyes locked onto Sub and the others who was already in trouble with law enforcement...or so it appeared. "Come on...let's help them out..." he sighed, targeting the Liepard. Torchic would fire Ember at the feline seeing as the others were occupied.

The Toxicroak would get blasted back by the Psychic, but it wouldn't stop there as in mid attack and flight it would disappear and reappear on the side of Kaiden, swinging a Dark energy empowered fist at the Psychic type.

The Houndoom would dodge several of the rocks but eventually got hit, causing it to tumble back. Once back on its feet it would rush towards the Onix that attacked it, doing a front flip as it neared, slamming a shining silver tail into the giant rock snake's body.

The Liepard would get caught off guard as its fur was singed by the ember attack. The now angry cat would run towards the tiny chick, looking to Slash it down to size.

The owner of the Manetric would order his dog to attack the Honchkrow, a Shock Wave flying at the crow Pokemon.

Meanwhile Sub would star at the officers, there was something he found off by them but he wasn't sure. He would walk up to Darts and attempt to whisper to him over the sounds over all the screaming and panicking people. "Darts, think you can swipe the ID off of one of those officers for me? I want to check something out."

Darts nods subtly, turning his attention to his Honchkrow as the Shock Wave built up. "Hey look over there!" Darts shouts at the Manectric and its owner, gesturing wildly with a silver hand in the direction directly above and behind them, hoping to at least divert their attention. "Just kidding, Honchkrow Sucker Punch!" The Honchkrow dives in, appearing to aim at the Manectric before swerving abruptly just before it would collide with the Discharge Pokemon, a dark aura enveloping its beak as it attempts to clip the trainer in the knee. It does take the Shock Wave and lands on the ground, slightly frazzled as the static runs from it into the ground. Darts, having already anticipated his Honchkrow's synchronization with him and its knowing he would need a diversion has dashed forwards, on a collision course with the red-shaded individual.

Amaranth's Lickitung would immediately try to lash his tongue out at Liepard, trying to catch it off guard.

Amaranth herself kept her guard up, a hand on her pocket to try and keep the ball safe.

Darts' red eyes widen for a second after impact, but it wasn't from the officer's reaction, nor was it from impact. "Oh, no, I was just trying to try and move you out of the way of my Honchkrow. You know. Being an officer of the law and all, you are too valuable a commodity to waste." Darts lies, raising both hands palms forwards in a gesture of defeat as he takes a couple steps backwards, towards Sub. His Honchkrow hops forwards, landing next to him with a flump as it shakes off the last of the electricity.

Ryan smiles slightly. "Dewdrop is getting stronger. If he keep going like this, he might be a Swanna soon." He says to her as they reach the top. The doors open and Ryan leads Skyla out onto the Terrace. Time to see this amazing city from above.

Darts tersely shakes his head at Sub. "No, I didn't. He doesn't have any identification at all. No trainer I.D., no badge, nothing, and I searched EVERY pocket on him. He's a criminal. For sure. No one else has to go to such lengths to hide their identity, most trainers at least have their I.D. on them." He looks at the battles around them. "Something's up, I can feel it."
