Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I still see where you're coming from," the boy empathized. "It's hard to be down a member, no matter how strong. And for it to be one of your strongest, especially with Sunday's mission coming up..." The boy looked to his belt. "You can always borrow one of my pokemon, ya know? I'm sure they'd love to help!"

"Yeah, no doubt!" Cody threw a fist up in return. He'd seen his friend in action before and read his mission summaries. He knew without a doubt that Allen would be ok. Turning his attention to his partner's last statement, he looked puzzled. "Wait, I thought they were just prizes to look at. What do you mean.. revived?"

Cody's mind was blown. "So, you're saying that certain fossils can be turned into physical pokemon?" the boy asked, astounded by the news. He quickly reached in his bag and pulled his own fossil out, looking it over. "As in pokemon we can use and take into battle with us? But how...?"

"No... Way..." Cody's mind had just about exploded in his head. "So, since you know about yours, can you tell me anything about mine?" The boy held the fossil up to Allen. Clearly imprinted in the rock was a thick root with leaves sprouting from the ends. "And if you're looking to get from point A to point B quickly, I have just the thing." He grabbed a pokeball from his belt.

Cody stared intently at the pokemon that was supposedly going to pop out of the rock he held in his hand. He didn't know how this was going to happen, but Allen seemed optimistic enough and pretty sure of himself, which gave the boy hope. "Looks like a grass type from the picture and the brief description," he mentioned, scrolling through the article about the pokemon. "I can only wonder how long they've been doing this for."
When he finished reading, he pulled his attention back to the pokeball he held in his hand. Clicking the middle button that separated the two halves, he tossed the ball into the air, releasing his ghost type, Rotom, into the room. The little orange pokemon zipped around, possessing as many objects as it possibly could in as short of a time as it could manage. The trainer called to his pokemon, quickly grabbing its attention. "Rotom, we need to go to Rustboro City here in the Hoenn region. Can you take us there?" The ghost type spun in a circle and zipped to the closest television.
Cody looked to Allen and gave a nod. "Hold on to your dinner," the boy recommended, walking up to the television just as Rotom posessed it. The device glowed with a purple aura, shaking a bit before emitting a portal from its screen. The portal's suction was strong, ripping the two boys from their feet and sending them flying into the box.

Cody's legs collapsed under his own weight as he struggled to keep his bearings upon their arrival. "You alright?" he called to Allen, hearing the puking noises in the background. Poor kid. Everyone adjusted differently. The boy looked around. Streetlights flooded the empty sidewalks in the dead of night. "Where to, Mr. Leader? Everywhere is closed. It's the middle of the night."

Cody looked around. He had only been to Rustboro a couple times, once being when he was little, then again to take on the gym, and once more after he first started Aqua to bring home 'THE. GOODS.' Reminiscing, Cody realized how horrible of an introductory mission that was. While everyone went inside to battle, Archie had left him outside with a can of spraypaint and his imagination. "Seeing as how Devon pretty much runs the Hoenn region, I figure we're looking for the tallest building. Boy, do I wish I had a flying type."
