Thorn obediently followed Maddy, privately glad he'd managed to keep any Pokemon off Rosie. Not that she couldn't handle herself, but he did feel the urge to protect her despite no longer being her bodyguard in any official capacity. He stuck close to the more experienced member of Aqua, noting her strange utterance. So whoever these people were giving them trouble, with the odd cloaks, Aqua had dealt with them before. He crouched down, awaiting a signal from the higher up.
The sign came, and Thorn found himself almost instantly facing one of the hooded figures. The grunt gave no comment, but pulled out a Pokemon to reveal a playful, smirking Litwick. Carefully, Thorn weighed his options. Song was injured, but still able to fight, and given how heavy their opponents looked, it wouldn't do to waste any resources. With a nervous hand, he called the Zubat out. "Shall we Astonish them?" he asked the bruised Pokemon. He'd give Song a chance to refuse this fight. No trainer should force a Pokemon.
Song gave a nod; he was tired, but he still wanted to battle! He flapped his wings over his open, squawking at it in turn. in a swift move, he darted down, using the ghost move he was ordered. The Astonish made contact, doing a decent amount of damage given Ghost's curious weakness. And luckily, it managed to flinch the Litwick; the candle reeled back in shock, light flickering. Grinning widely with his impressive teeth, Song dove in for another Astonish, knocking the ghost/fire-type down for the count.
Thorn sighed; maybe these battles weren't going to be so bad after all. Song was still shaking, but full of fighting spirit.
The grunt grumbled, but pulled out the next Pokeball: a slightly feral Sandshrew appeared, clacking it's claws together. It growled up at Song, clearly out for blood.
Song used Astonish again, but that wonderful flinch didn't happen this time. It hadn't done as much damaged as he would have liked, either. The Zubat's ears drooped as he watched his opponent, ready for anything. The Sandshrew crawled the ground, hissing, and dug down deep into the earth, shaking it in his attack!
The Magnitude missed completely, shaking the floor but unable to hit the flying-type Pokemon despite his weakened state.
"... seriously?" Thorn couldn't help voicing his disbelief in a most unprofessional manner as he stared at the other grunt.
Though the face was cloaked, he couldn't help the sneaking suspicion that the other trainer was blushing, or at least somewhat flustered. "Shut it! Scratch!"
Snarling, the Sandshrew would shrug off Song's second Astonish attack. The creature leapt off the ground and struck out at the Zubat. It was a critical hit, knocking the Pokemon out of the sky and sending him crashing back to earth. Thorn frowned, not upset at his Pokemon so much as worried; he shouldn't have let that battle continue as long as it had. He'd gotten cocky; he'd need to take a better risk. This time, he pulled out a familiar Pokeball, and out came a Mawile. "Venus. Ice Fang, if you please."
Playing with her hair and preening, the deceptive Pokemon hardly gave any notice to either her trainer or her enemy until she heard the Sandshrew crow at her. She gave a disdainful glare before swinging her horn-like maw at the ground-type, icy crystals forming as she dug into his flesh. Her already-weakened opponent was no match for the cold attack, and it would fall back unconscious.
Embarassed at his loss, the grunt would mumble something irritably at Thorn before rushing off. But the place in front of the red-haired male wasn't empty for long, and soon another cloaked figure took the place. This one seemed more stoic, if that was possible given their attire. Without any pomp, she tossed the Pokeball out. "Golett, Roll-Out," she said in a low, commanding tone.
"Venus, Bite." Thorn's voice was just as quick to speak as he saw the Golett shift it's weight, lean down, and send a rocking straight at the Mawile. Venus danced towards the ground/ghost robot, taking the hit without at care, seeing how it did little damage, and was still rather weak. Once again, she'd slam her toothy horn against her enemy.
The Golett shuddered, the full brunt of the dark attack running through it. Still, there was a duty to perform. It flung another rock at the Mawile, this attack slightly stronger.
"Bite again!" Venus would hardly wait for her trainer's order before once again attacking. She'd been hit yet again, but still had enough strength to pull off another dark, chomping attack on the creature. She clamped down, holding it in place while she shook him around.
Whimpering, the Golett would pass out. The Mawile stood over her fallen foe, tossing her hair back in triumph. Silly fool~
The hooked grunt would recall her knocked out Pokemon, and quickly replace it with a sleepy-eyed Numel. It snorted smoke out it's noise, it's lax manner belying a powerful strength.
Thorn made a snap decision. He recalled the Mawile, much to her angry protests. His Pokemon may have thought she was ready, but he wasn't willing to risk her getting knocked out like Song. Instead, he sent out his third Pokemon.
The Feebas flopped around pathetically in the dirt, taking the Ember meant for the Mawile. It didn't do too much damage, but the cloaked woman would still chuckle at the silly sight.
"Ignore her, Selkie." Thorn barely seemed to note the girl's disdain. "Trust me and Tackle."
Selkie lurched forward, landing a barely significant Tackle on the Numel.
The placid creature barely winced under the assault. Obeying his trainer, he made the ground shudder under the force of his Magnitude.
The hit would bring Selkie's health down slightly, and the fish would whimper. She wasn't a great fighter as it was, and feared she couldn't keep this up.
Fortunately, Thorn had a plan... one that required his Pokemon to go down to half health. "Brine!"
The Feebas took a deep breathe... and sent a blast of powerful water at the Numel's face. The Pokemon shot back, slamming into the cave wall, knocked out. The hooded girl frown, calling back her Pokemon and taking off.

Archie battles a tall slender figure in a cloak. The man uses a Camerupt and Mightyena while Archie uses a Sharpedo and Mightyena.
Dark prepares for a battle with the unknown person. He felt really familiar.
He starts the battle by sending out his Magikarp while the enemy sends out a Charmander. Magikarp is switched and replaced by a Larvitar. Larvitar takes and Ember, then dishes out a Stone Edge, KO'ing Charmander.
The man taunts Dark, claiming he knows who he really is, before he sends out a Gible. Larvitar uses Earthquake, as does the Gible. Gible is weakened but Larvitar falls. Dark then sends out his Rotom and KO's the Gible with Shadow Ball, ending the battle at his victory.
"If it didn't work out in our favor, I'd let your Boss in on our secret." The man snickers and walks off, leaving the rest of his group.
Archie growls as he grips a Pokeball in his hand.
"You son of a... Who are you?! Show yourself!" It seems Archie had lost the battle.
The figure takes off the robs to reveal a red outfit.
"...I thought it was you... Maxie." Archie glares viciously at the man.
"Who else would know about THAT." The person known as Maxie sneers. "I didn't expect you to come for the meteorite... But then again with that scientist of yours.." Maxie chuckles and glances at Dark.
"So Team Magma IS behind this." Dark announces.
"Ha ha ha of course we are." Maxie looks behind himself to see a Machoke in the far distance, carrying away a large metallic stone. It is heavily guarded by grunts, making it impossible to get to on time.
"Well we have what we came for. Ta-ta Team Aqua." Maxie laughs loudly as a few Golbat surround Aqua and use Haze, clouding the area. When the Haze clears all the Magma members are gone.
Archie spews profanities and begins kicking a nearby rock.
"Now it all makes sense!"
Dark sighs and looks around, hoping no one heard his conversation with the man.
After a few minutes to cool down Archie regains composure.
"...Good job everyone. Let's return back to HQ. I'll distribute rewards ad everyone can get some rest. We've got a war ahead of us."
Archie leaves, going on ahead.

Rosie returned Lily to rest, knowing she was tired and then holding Kei in one arm, went to go look for Thorn. Weaving in and out of the crowd, she searched for him. After a few minutes of searching, she spotted that familiar shape. Grinning, she charged and then tackle hugged him from behind. "We did it! We're going to be okay." she murmured softly, clinging tightly to her best friend. It was a big relief to finally being reunited with him. While she did do well on her own, it just wasn't the same accomplishing things without him by her side. The girl heard the announcement about them needing to go home. Nodding, she slipped a hand into Thorn's, holding it. "I guess it's time to head back now?"

"War..." Allen repeats to himself. With these chumps? Admittedly, the few he's faced have had... well, what seemed to be experience. But even so. He shook it from his head as he pulled Shuppet's Pokeball and let her out. She orbited his head once and looked at him. "You've been doing a great job..." He grabbed one of the 5 Rare Candies from his bag and fed it to her. Froakie hopped form his Pokeball, the burns were still bothering him, but not enough for him to not want a little bit of recognition. Allen chuckled, but not wanting to give up another Rare Candy, he searched his bag, eventually finding the Shiny "Hmm..." He thought about it and finally popped the soft littel cube into Froakie's mouth. Suddenly, a bright flash lit behind him. He turned to look, and by then, it had dimmed to reveal a Banette where Shuppet had been floating. "Banette?" Banette nodded and hugged him with her new found arms. "Awesome!!" He cheered.
Froakie complained again, and as Allen turned around again he noticed Froakie was a much lighter color. His eyebrows pulled together... "So... A Shiny Pokeblock... Makes them shiny!?" He grinned, looking around to see if others were noticing, but none seemed to notice, "This is amazi-" He was cut off by another bright flash, this one nearly blinding. and once the lights dimmed down, he noticed a Frogadier sitting where Froakie once was.
Finally back to his senses, he returns his Pokemon deciding to congratulate the both of them in some way later on, but for now, they needed to get back to base.

Dark arrives back at HQ and prepares the rewards from a note Archie left him.
"Everyone gets 2 Ultra Balls and 3,000 PD. Rosie and Thorn both get a rank up." He mutters to himself as he lays the rewards out in the main room with labels.
"I wonder if Maxie is gonna hit the volcano like we were going to..." Dark thinks out loud.

Eventually, Dimitri arrived at the clearing area, alongside him was his leafy beast like companian that many trainers would refer to as a tropius.
"Well my friends... it seems that we've arrived just in time for the party." Dimitri said in a sauve yet excited tone as if he was speaking to his pokemon before he tossed a pokeball into the air once two hooded individuals stepped out from the crowd to challenge him, sending out his growlithe as a secondary pokemon to join his leafy beast on the battlefield. "Your not going anywhere kid until you can get past us... prepare yourself for our volcanic combination." The two hooded individuals said simultaniously seconds after they each sent out a pokemon. "Let's scorch this kid... Go Torkoal!" The first hooded individual said, sending out a torkoal to assist him on the battlefield. "..." The second hooded individual did not even bother to speak and just responded with a deadly glare, sending out an onix to assist her on the battlefield. Next, the second hooded individual silently ordered her onix to use smack down to throw a stone at Tropius which immidiately made him fall to the ground, temperarily removing Tropius's resistance to ground types for one turn along with dealing a great amount of damage. "Lets get this party started Growlithe! Show off your charm and use sunny day!" Following her trainers command, Growlithe used sunny day to change the weather within the cave to sunny. "Hang in there Tropius! Get your vengeance and use solar beam against Onix!" Following his trainers command, Tropius collapsed from the onix's attack before he used solar beam to fire a blast of light which he quickly gathered with the help of the sunny day at the Onix, dealing a devastating amount of damage to result in a one hit K/O. Following this, the second hooded individual returned her fallen onix to it's pokeball and sent out a baltoy to take it's place. Shortly after, the second hooded individual silently ordered her baltoy to use explosion to to create a devastating explosion, making itself faint along with dealing a great amount of damage to all battling pokemon around it. "Don't get ahead of yourself kid... you haven't won just yet... Go Torkoal! Use Earthquake to shake things up!" The first hooded individual said in a commanding yet frustrated tone. Torkoal got pushed back from the damage inflicted from it's teammates explosion before it followed it's master's command and used earthquake to make the ground shake, dealing a great amount of damage to both growlithe and tropius due to the effects of smack down preventing tropius from resisting the devastating attack. Unfortunately for Dimitri, the damage dealt from the explosion's attack along with the damage dealt from the earthqake's attack forced both growlithe and tropius into fainting, giving the two hooded individuals the satisfaction of obtaining a one hit K/O. "You've fought well my friends... get some rest." Dimitri said in a concerned tone as he took out two pokeballs and pointed them at his defeated pokemon, a red beam of light engulfed them both to return them to their pokeballs. "You haven't seen anything just yet... the battle has just gotten started... now it's time for my hidden aces to show off their power... Go! Poochyena and Wailmer." Following this, Dimitri sent out his last two pokemon which were his faithful companion poochyena and his surfing buddy wailmer. "I believe in you Wailmar! get vengeance for your fallem comrades and use surf!" Following his trainers command, Wailmer used surf to summon a devastating wave to hit the Torkoal along with Poochyena which dealt enough damage to finish the Torkoal off. Following this, the first hooded individual returned his fallen torkoal to it's pokeball and sent out a numel to take it's place. "Wailmer let's finish these guys off with your most devastating attack... use hydro pump!" Following his trainers command, Wailmer used hydro pump to launch a huge volume of water at the Numel, dealing a devastating amount of damage which resulted in a one hit K/O to finish it off. Following this, the two hooded individuals returned their fallen pokemon back to their pokeballs before they ran away to escape. "I'm proud of both of you for a well fought battle... now it's time to get some well deserved rest... you've earned it." Dimitri said in a congratulatory tone as he took out two pokeballs and pointed them at his last two pokemon, a red beam of light engulfed them both to return them to their pokeballs before he headed back to HQ to regroup with the rest of the group.

Maddy entered the common room. She stretched and cracked her back, still a little stiff from yesterday's mission.
"Anyone home today?" She called out.

Reaper remained asleep on the common room couch with his pokeball in hand, mumbling about a Champion Battle. He jolted up, awakened by his Poochyena whom had hopped off his stomach like a trampoline, chasing Corphish around while Starly was still fast asleep on Reaper's head. "My Pokemon are numbskulls at times." He thought and shoot his head as he back down and began watching TV.

Maddy waved to Reaper as she noticed him on the couch.
"Hey! How's it going?"
She took her TADS from her pocket and started looking at the map of Hoenn. She was in the mood to go exploring again today and wanted to figure out a place to go.

"Hiya Maddy. It's going good, was just napping here on the couch until I got woken up by my pokemon. How about you?" Reaper responded while trying to be somewhat still as to not awaken his Starly.

"I'm doing pretty good." Maddy responded. "Kinda wanna get out on another adventure. My Gible will evolve soon!"
So far, no places on the map were tickling her fancy. Nevertheless, she kept searching.

Dimitri was lying down on the ground, passed out asleep from his previous mission. Next, Dimitri waved at maddy while he was asleep before he turned over and accidentally slammed his head against one of the inner walls of the common room wall, waking up from the jolt of pain. "Ouch!" Following this, Dimitri sat up, holding his head with his left hand as he took out three of his pokeballs with his right hand. Then, Dimitri tossed the pokeballs into the air, sending out his Poochyena, his Growlithe, and his Tropius. "Hopefully today won't be as crazy as yesterday... I still got whiplash from fighting those hooded fools." Dimitri mumbled mixed with a couple of exhausted yawns.

Reaper listened as Dimitri went on about fighting hooded fools. "Aww, I missed something epic yesterday? I miss all the fun." He said, disappointed, then figured he'll just tag along with Maddy if she was OK with it. His Poochyena got up and bounced off his stomach again, and began a chasing sequence between him and Reaper.

'Lavaridge Town' caught Maddy's eye on the map, so she pulled up some files on it.
"Oooooh. It's said that the hot spring in Lavaridge Town can sooth body aches and pains but can always make you stronger. I wonder if that's true."
She thought about ti for a moment.
"Let's go to Lavaridge and fool around in the hot springs! Who's with me?!"

The young girl was sound asleep in her bed. Yesterday's adventures had drained her. The excitement, the battles, everything had turned out well in the end at least! When they had gotten back, she had received a rank up along with Thorn. After making sure all her pokemon were healed up and perfectly well, she had gone to bed. Muttering slightly about something in her sleep, she felt a light tapping on her head. The tapping became more insistent until there was a firm yank and she felt cool air as her blanket was torn away from here. Sitting upright and yawning, she rubbed at her eyes blinking sleepily. What had happened? The source turned out to be Lily who was pointing at the door with a flick of her tail. Oh, it was the start of the next day? And she had overslept! Immediately awake, she fell off the bed. Muttering a couple of things under her breath, she leapt into her closet and quickly threw on her outfit for the day. Placing her hat on her head, she twirled and smiled fluffing her hair slightly. A girl always hado to look her best! Feeling content, she then caught Lily tugging lightly on the Emolga's tail. "Thanks for the wake up call." she remarked, still smiling to show she was teasing the pokemon. Vale was at her heels as they entered into the main room where there were some people gathered already."Uh, good morning- afternoon- evening? Actually- uh what time is it?" she asked with a tilt of her head, slightly confused.
