Welcome to Gaia! ::

"No idea." Lykas agreed, calling out Mykel.

Lykas would reappear in the main lobby with Chaos, carrying a copy of some adoption paperwork in one hand. "That was......fun..." He groaned as he leafed through the pages. (There were quite a few, in his opinion.) "I always heard adoption was expensive. I guess we got the five-finger discount." He laughed to Chaos, wiping a fleck of blood off his knuckles as he did.

When Sub approached, Arthur shook his head and gestured with his thumb to Squirrel. "There's nothing but meat in there," he answered. Still, he went to double check just in case he missed something. Sure enough, there was a drawer at the bottom full of a fine assortment of berries. "I stand corrected," he said before gobbling down a couple of them. He gave one to Lava as well, since he was a vegetarian like him.

Hearing Sub ask about the mission, Arthur gestured to the Magnemite, who'd been hovering around his head until now. "It didn't go so well," he said. "But I was able to befriend this little guy while I was there. Sub, meet Lightning." The Magnemite let out sparks of electricity in response as a means of saying hello. He would have said more if not for the appearance of someone else. Arthur grimaced when he saw him eating the meat. It was like he was watching Chaos eat a pile of crap.

Then Lykas appeared and gave his interpretation of the mission. That's when Arthur remembered that he'd offered to help with Lava. Now was as good a time as any to get that training. Unfortunately, before he could ask for it, Lykas was gone with the meat eater. He was disappointed, but tried not to let it show too much. Going back to munching hungrily on berries, he heard Alex approaching and nodded in greeting, as he'd seen most of the Snagems do & assumed was some kind of secret greeting. "That Bagon?" Arthur repeated curiously. He instinctively looked the name up in his Snag because he'd never heard of it.

"So then my assumptions are right. I guess it's safe to say that they are using the lab to create more of these Pokemon. But where does the Snatch Gang fall into place in all this? Obviously they are in alliance with one another, but why? Why would Cipher bother messing with common thugs? More importantly, who is running the lab now that Ein is dead?" Sub pondered aloud. "Lightning? Hello there little magnet man." Sub said to Arthur's new Pokemon.

"Huh? Oh, hey Chaos." Sub said to the other male. "Just finding out Cipher has shown their face yet again."

"I haven't a clue, all we do know is that they are producing some sort of shadow Pokemon out in their old lab in Orre." Sub explained.

"I'm not even completely sure man. All I know is Sol captured a very strange Bagon. Its power was almost like that of a Salamence, way too strong for a Bagon. Furthermore its chi was...evil, that's the easiest way to describe it, evil. GRAY said its chi was not its own too, a type of chi he was unable to completely discern." Sub explained to Chaos.
