Maddy flailed furiously, trying to reach for the edge of the vent but it was about a foot out of her grasp. "Just a little further! Get on Cody's shoulders." She was only half joking.

Cody stopped laughing and turned bright red the minute Maddy finished her idea. "My sh-shoulders? I mean, I g-guess we could d-do that," he stuttered out, nervous. He didn't want to look like an idiot after making fun of Sean for so long. So the boy went up to the failing team and squatted as low to the ground as he could between Sean's legs. Wrapping his arms around his knees, he slowly lifted himself up, struggling to straighten his legs out as his teammates slowly rose into the air. Sean held on tight to Maddy's legs, fearing for their lives as he struggled to keep both his balance on Cody's shoulders and Maddy's balance as they ascended. He looked up to her once more, noticing her hands getting closer to the vent as Cody was able to straighten his legs more. If they could just get up another eight inches or so, they'd be golden. Cody struggled and strained under the weight of his teammates to lift any higher, until finally, with one last push, he forced his legs straight, giving Maddy the extra couple inches she needed to get in. Just as she climbed in, the boy's legs buckled, sending both Sean and himself to the ground, the new recruit crushing his already energyless body. "Get off..." was all he could muster out until he was able to catch his breath.

Maddy twisted herself around in the vent until her head poked out the opening and was looking down at them. She reached her hand down as far as she could. "Okay now, someone jump up and I'll pull ya in. Gotta get this show on the road before someone comes out and sees us."

Sean picked Cody's energyless body up and handed it up to Maddy, lifting him up the rest of the way as the girl pulled. He watched the boy flounder into the vent and jumped up himself, grabbing her arm and using her leverage to run himself up the wall and into the vent. It was a tight fit with all three of them in there, but it worked. "Now to find that stupid scientist and steal myself a Castform," he commented, climbing over Cody and heading down the vent. Cody took a few deep breaths and mustered up the strength to roll over to his stomach. Pushing himself up with his arms, he crawled after the two trainers through the vent, feeling himself slowly regaining some lost energy. "So, do we know where we're going?" he asked, looking to his teammates.

Maddy returned her Axew to allow them more room and led them through the vents. "Where's the fun in knowing where to go?" It was slow going and she was hopeful that soon they would find a grate to jump out of. And then... They reached a part of the vent that wasn't bolted into the ceiling properly and suddenly they were falling. Sheets of metal, clouds of dust and nuts and bolts fell through the air with them as they tumbled to the floor. Maddy sat up and rubbed her head. "Well... That hurt..." She looked around and no one was nearby, but she was sure the sound had alerted someone. "Let's split up and find the front door. We should bust it open in case more teammates want to join us."

Cody, still recovering from the last energy exhausting exercise was not prepared for a fall that would knock the wind out of him. He cursed as they fell, smacking the ground hard, but was quickly helped to his feet by Sean who, from what he had seen, had practically stuck the landing. "Alright, Mr. Gymnast," the boy commented. "Thanks for the help up." The two boys nodded in agreement, taking off in opposite directions in search for the door. "Yeah, no problem," Sean said with the first smile anyone had seen all day. He took off, bringing a pokeball to his hand just in case trouble decided to show up while they were searching. The inside of the building was a labyrinth of hallways and doors, none of which seemed to be what he was looking for. "This could take forever," he said to himself.

Matt and Memo hastily made their way to the others coordinates on the TADS. "Weather Institute huh?" Cereza stayed clinging onto Memo as the trio closed in on them. With his communicator he payched into the teams comm network. "Y'all there? Matt and I just pulled in!"

Maddy ran off in search of the door. Fortunately, she found it within the first few minutes. She responded to Memo. "Opening the front door for ya now!" She ran at the door full force and kicked it. The lock busted and the doors flung open. With a smirk on her face, she turned to go back to the other two, but found a scientist in her way. "I guess I'll just have to deal with you." She said, pulling a Pokeball off her belt.
Cody and Sean would also have their path blocked by a scientist each.
Memo and Matt would run into two scientists returning to the Institute from field work.
Each scientist will have 1-3 Pokemon; most likely Steel-, Electric-, or Poison-types.

Memo and Cereza praised Maddy with a cheer, but Cereza took it a step further and started twerking on Memo's head. "Stahpppp!" Matt had given her a manly thumbs up as he chuckled at Memo and his predicament. Although it was cut short by 2 livid professors who each leat out a Magnemite. Memo sent out Kira his Horsea while Matt had sent out his Houndour! A battle ensued!

Maddy unleashed Axew as the scientist let out a Magnemite. "Use Sunny Day!" Axew did a cute little wiggle dance of some sort and the sunlight outside intensified. Magnemite attempted to paralyze Axew with a Thunder Wave attack, but the little dragon quickly jumped out of the way. "Incinerate it!" Axew let loose a small stream of fire at Magnemite, KO'ing it. The scientist let out a Voltorb, so Maddy switch out Axew for her Gible. Maddy smirked. "Earthquake!" Gible struck the ground hard, creating a terribly powerful Earthquake. Voltorb was overwhelmed by the attack and fainted. The scientist was looking rather worried now, and sent out a Zubat. Maddy switch out Gible for her Froakie. Zubat rushed forward and bit Froakie. The little frog Pokemon flinched away from the pain, but Zubat flew in and bit down on him again. "Ice Beam!" Froakie let loose a frigid beam of ice, striking Zubat hard. The little bat clung to consciousness and let loose a Confuse Ray. The attack failed, however. "Smack Down!" Froakie picked up a nearby rock that had been brought up from the ground by the Earthquake used earlier and flung it at Zubat. The bat Pokemon wasa grounded... permanently. Maddy returned Froakie as the scientist ran off. She went off to look for the rest of her companions.

"Maddy!" "Chhhika!" Memo and Cereza made their way to Maddy with smiles. Matt floowed after with a grin on his face. "Hey chickadee!" Memo giggled and moved his hair from his face.

The duo ran wildly through the maze, but to no avail. This door was extremely illusive. Just as the two turned a final corner, a scientist from the institute stepped out from one of the laboratories. "You're the ones everyone has been talking about!" he shouted, turning to run. "Don't move," Cody responded calmly, sending Sparks from her ball to head him off. "You're trapped." The scientist thought quickly, pulling a ball from his belt as well and throwing it into the air. "Seviper, protect me!" he shouted, cowering behind his pokemon. Sparks lept at Seviper first with an Iron Tail, making solid contact with the snake's body as it turned to dodge. Seviper quickly turned around and hit Pikachu with a Payback, doubling the damage the small mouse did, and sending her flying. Pikachu quickly gained its bearings, doing a flip in the air and landing on her feet before taking off with an electrical fury, smashing into Seviper for a K.O. with Volt Tackle. The scientist cursed and returned his pokemon, exchanging it for a Magnemite. Cody quickly returned Sparks and sent out Axew, hoping to gain an advantage from its moveset. The Magnemite was quick, shocking and paralyzing Axew quickly with a Thunder Wave. Axew struggled, but the electricity flowing through his small body glued him in place. He couldn't move. The small, metal pokemon shot out a high pitched Supersonic, sending Axew into a daze of confusion. The baby dragon managed to quickly snap back into reality and let out a firey blast, scorching Magnemite's body for good damage. The foe pulled through and started glowing red, its body expanding greatly until finally, it erupted in a giant explosion, knocking both trainers and pokemon back. Cody looked down to see Axew K.O.'d in his arms, but at least his baby dragon would be ok. He quickly pulled a ball from his belt and returned the small beast, looking up at a pile of debris and dust. As the trainer stepped through the debris, he noticed the scientist had disappeared. Disappointed, Cody cursed under his breath. "I was really hoping to use him to get out of here," he said to himself. Sean was paranoid in situations like this. He was always in control and could always get out if he needed to. This time was different, though. They were lost, and he was bugging out. To make things worse, he swore his mind was playing tricks on him. Every once in a while, he'd hear a door open or close, but when he looked around, no one would be there. Finally, on one occasion, he turned around and shouted something incomprehensible. It was just stressful banter, but when he turned around, Cody was gone. He turned around once more, realizing he was lost, and a scientist was there in his face, a pokeball in his hand. "You're exactly who we've been looking for," the scientist said creepily. "PREPARE TO GO DOWN!" And with that, the scientist sent out his first pokemon. In a burst of light, a Grimer appeared, forming into different shapes in front of them. Sean pulled a ball from his pocket as well, tossing it in the air and releasing his trusty Carvanha. Carvanha attacked first, summoning water from the air to boost its momentum, and hit hard with Aqua Jet. Grimer seemed unphased and shot back a Mud Slap, using its own sludge and dirt to hit the Carvanha for minimal damage. "Let's change this up," Sean said, pointing angrily at Grimer. Carvanha launched at Grimer, bearing its teeth, and chomped down into its body hard with icy fangs, freezing part of its body. The Grimer responded with a close-range Pound attack, slamming its full weight on top of the fish pokemon, but hurting itself badly due to its foe's Rough Skin ability. Carvanha launched at Grimer one more time with a Take Down and knocked it out, taking some recoil damage of its own. The scientist grumbled and took off down the hallway after returning his pokemon. Sean considered chasing the goon, but decided against it, turning around once more, swallowing hard, and trudging on in search of his teammates.

Maddy gave everyone a smile as they all met up. It seemed all the defeated scientists had fled the Institute for now. "Well, if anyone finds a Castform in here, fight it and capture it, if you'd like. I'm gonna go off and catch a Pokemon outside instead." She left the building and took in a deep breath of fresh air. The sun was beginning to set now. She made her way to the riverside to see what Pokemon she could find.

Memo went out along the riverside as well and nodded to Maddy he was about to sit when he saw a Castform zoom out and give Memo the stinkeye!! "Chi?!" Cereza was obviously offended and grabbed Memo's face. The little troiblemaker was long gone into the trees, but Memo knew he'd go out and catch it later, alone. For now je sat there and threw his rod into the still water and waited. Magikarp, after Magikarp took his line ubtil finally a Feebas was at the end of his line!! "Gah!" He quickly called out his Horsea once again to make quick work at weakening the the less than attractive fish with a Twister! Memo launched a ball and 1, 2, 3! Memo had a Feebas who also seemed to have a staring problem.
Matt went and chased after a Wingull with his Carvanha that used a Crinch to catch the bird and render it immobile for capture! "Sweet!"

Cody and Sean showed up together, thankful to have finally found each other and the rest of their squad. Cody nodded to Maddy in agreement and followed in suit, hoping to find something good. "So, what do you think of the new guy?" the boy asked her, curious. Just then, a Feebas jumped out of the water, flipping around a bit before landing right back in. "This is my chance," Cody said to himself, knowing how rare Feebas could be. He sent out Mira to chase it down, the Staryu popping from its ball and quickly diving into the water after the fish pokemon. In what seemed to be no time, the ugly fish was splashing all over the ground. Mira hit it with a quick Swift, weakening it just enough to be ready for capture. Cody pulled a ball from his belt and tossed it at the pokemon. The ball opened and engulfed the small fish in a red light, retracting it quickly back into itself. The small capsule fell to the ground and shook. Once. Twice. Three times. Ding The pokemon was captured. Cody picked the ball up off the ground and through a fist in the air. "Milotic, here we come!" he shouted. Sean looked back into the dark halls of the weather institute. Once more, he swallowed hard and took off running, looking for the testing chamber he had seen earlier while lost. He figured if there was anywhere to keep a rare, mysterious pokemon, it would be in a chamber where it could be experimented on. After a few turns, he quickly found the room. A glass sliding door stood between he and the Castform. Taking a few steps back first, he charged the glass door, busting through with ease. "I'm in," he said in a quiet, proud tone. The boy quickly spotted the Castform floating in a large tube filled with water. The environment changed every so often, though. Shortly after the tube filled with water, it would drain completely, and a hot lamp would come on inches from the pokemon's head. Then, the hot lamp would disappear and it would get pitch black in the tube, changing the Castform's body to its snowy form. "I've gotta get it out of there," Sean thought to himself, grabbing another pokeball from his belt. This time he released Deino, his baby Dark/Dragon type pokemon. "Help me out, Deino! Headbutt that tube and let's grab that Castform!" The baby dragon lowered its head and charged at the tube, jumping in the air, and smashing the glass. As the pokemon launched through the tube, it hit Castform as well, sending its weakened body flying into the wall. The pokemon bounced off and struggled to find its bearings after hitting the floor, shooting an Ice Beam in Deino's direction in an effort to protect iself. "Deino, watch out!" Sean shouted, giving the dragon enough warning to jump out of the way. "Blast it with Dragonbreath!" Deino retaliated with a blast of blue fire, hitting Castform hard. Sean shot out a pokeball and encapsulated the weather pokemon, allowing it to shake three times before picking the ball up. Now he had to run back to find his team.
