"Can I go with her? She might need a bit of protection out there." Kaya asked when Sub told Abby she was going to snag her own Pokemon. Maybe she'd decide to go to Kalos and he'd get lucky enough to find signs of his missing Pokemon while there?
It wouldn't be long before Lykas returned from his room, carrying a bottle of water in his hand. Odd was nowhere in sight for now and with steam blown off, Lykas went in search of his adoptive father, having recently received a message to meet him at HQ.

Abby came out of her shell the instant she wa promised an opportunity to catch a Pokemon of her own. Nodding vigorously in an attempt to keep from spazzing out with excitement, she ignored the pinkette, and was already half-finished with a plan to ditch him if he got in her way.
"Over here," Chaos said once Lykas's search brought him to the main lobby. Chaos would wait for Lykas to sit before procceding with his explanation. "Absinte's papers checked out. You've got a sister. And since everyone I visited the past few months, I was left with only one solution." Chaos motioned to the giddy little blonde girl at Sub's side to illuatrate hits point.
"Oh, sweet! She's in the team!" Lykas cheered at :Chaos' explanation of where he'd been lately. "I always wanted an actual little sister." That creepy girl he'd met in the ocean on his first mastery mission didn't count. He didn't have any real sisters, right?

Storming out of one of the rooms, Aria could be seen yelling into a device decidedly unlike a normal SNAG. "Look, what I want is to get the Pokemon I trained for my security over to me now, J." Aria huffed into the strange device, a hologram of a black skinned man floating in front her and mouthing words, the sound transmitting to an earpiece. Giving a confused look to the man, Aria questioned, "...What do you mean we were broken into?" Continuing to wander as the man continued speaking, Aria stopped on the spot as more news was delivered. "J, you are my agent and hand picked with your partner for memory and finesse. How in the hell did a woman sneak in on camera but neither of you remember seeing it anywhere? How can a person do that?" Aria continued to watch in awe as the black man continued speaking, a false smile spreading directly across Aria's face before it fractured without a second to think. Taking in a deep breath to calm herself down, Aria responded quietly. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY'RE ALL GONE!?!?!!!!?!?"
Taking in a few huffs of breath to calm herself, the brown haired woman glared at the man until he finally stammered out something close to good news. "Okay, we still have my Pangoro and my little Inkay. That should be enough for now. But I'm going to hunt down this woman and retrieve my Arceus damned Pokemon or I may have to lynch someone." The threatening growl was not assisted by the woman's natural outfit resembling something closer to leather armor with spikes than clothes, just adding to the fear felt by any observers. Storming off to retrieve her two remaining Pokeballs, Aria gripped her guitar tightly and subconsciously began to strum along to her exit, a strange chord pattern that produced an intimidating effect.
Aloe's rest would be cut short, though, when he heard someone call him over. Looking up, he saw the face of the leader, who seemed to be talking with some girl at the moment. "Yet another host for experimentation," Aloe thought. He still hadn't forgotten what he learned from the S.S. Anne.
With a bit of effort, he managed to pull himself off the ground to approach the two. "You call?" he asked casually.

"That's fine by me, Kaya." Sub said to the man. The man would then hand her a Snag Machine, which he took out from the box he had fetched. "That's a Snag Machine, put it over your hand like a glove. When needed, it will convert a Pokeball you hold in it, allowing you to capture another trainer's Pokemon. Also, take this." He would then hand her a Pokeball. "In that ball is an Absol, you can use it to help you battle, just give it back once you're done. Now, Kaya, I'll leave you to guide her to a grunt she can take on and snag their Pokemon, I'm sure you know where a few hang out somewhere."
"Yes, I did. You did very well on the S.S. Anne back there and have proved yourself greatly. I'm ranking you up to Snagem Cadet. I thought you would be interested to hear that." He told the lad.
"Already" was all Aloe could say when Sub gave him the big news. See, Snagem, like any other organization, had its members lined up by rank. However, in Snagem, these ranked officers were further divided into groups called Tiers. At the bottom Tier, known as Tier 6, there were the Cadets, Scouts, and finally the rookies, like Aloe. While he was well aware of the possibility of promotion, he would have never imagined that he would have been promoted right on the spot.
"But I didn't do anything back there. I just got shocked and thrown overboard." And as he thought more about it, it really didn't make sense to him. He'd only gone on two missions, hadn't even been inside Snagem for more than five minutes, and he still had no idea what Snagem itself really was. And yet Sub trusted him enough not only to promote him twice, but to make him a Tier leader. It just perplexed Aloe the more he thought of it.
However, Aloe wasn't quite rejecting the promotion it. Despite whatever he thought about Snagem, when he calmed down, he realized exactly what could be done with level three membership. "I might even be able see that big lab," he thought. The possibilities were endless. So Aloe finally came out of his thoughts to say to Sub, "I'll take it!"

"Pretty sure there's a few hanging around in Goldenrod or Celadon City. There's always grunts in those two cities." Kaya noted before a soft jingling caught his attention. Looking over his shoulder, he caught sight of the strangest thing. A little keyring with eyes was floating right behind him, staring up at him with big, soulless, adorable eyes.
"Awwww.....What the hell are you, you adorable little thing?" He asked as he turned around and held out a hand for it. "Ki....Klef klefki."
Scanning it with his SNAG, he discovered it's species name. "Klefki, the Keyring Pokemon. Steel- and Fairy-type. Recently discovered in the Kalos region." He read aloud. "Huh.... Well, wherever you came from, I'm going to keep you. And your name will be Sora." He told it before it tackled him and nuzzled into his chest.
"You did better than you think you did. The fact that you didn't jump ship the moment things got rough proved a lot to me. I can't tell you how many people I've seen bail at the sight several hungry Carvanha raining down from the heavens, cursing Arceus as they fled from the fish." Sub explained to Aloe. "Besides, I like you, you got spunk. I always pamper the ones I want to keep. As for the others they end up getting sent off on sui- I mean, difficult missions in order to prove their worth. Yep."

"Spunk," Aloe repeated in his mind after Sub explained his actions. Was he trying to say he had potential...or was he actually seeing a bit of himself in the young lad? He hoped it was the former.
Finally looking to Hina for her take on it all, Aloe saw before him one of the biggest surprises of his life so far. Hina...the little psychopath who lived for death and destruction...the Litwick who had gorged herself on souls and even contemplated eating Amaranth's once or twice...was cheering for her trainer's big promotion. Somehow she turned from crazy to nice to full on valley girl in less than a day. Aloe probably would have been scared had he not been caught up in the moment. Instead he was actually moved by the display.
"Yeah...I think this is reason enough to celebrate," Aloe agreed. "Better go tell the f-" He abruptly cut off as the memory came back to him. Until then, he'd almost forgotten about his predicament. Aloe couldn't call his parents or even go back to them. Not yet anyway. Cipher was still out there looking for him, and after that incident on the Anne, they probably knew he was with Snagem. He couldn't risk calling his family and having his conversation traced. Nor could he travel to Kanto and risk being followed. He was lucky enough nobody followed him to the hideout.
The last thing Aloe wanted to do was get his parents involved. Still, even knowing he was staying away for a good reason, it still hurt to do so. And as that knowledge returned, the joy of promotion quickly became a fleeting feeling. However, something moving in his pocket would bring him back to good moods. It was his Carvanha, Fang.
Sub was now in the main area of HQ, thumbing through his SNAG as he studied Dark types in Kalos. While he had heard of Kalos before, and knew it existed, he himself had never been there before as he had no reason to bother with the place. He was curious though about the native Dark types, they simply fascinated him. One particular Dark type stood out for him. "It's a freakin' ninja frog! I love it!" He shouted out loud.

GRAY would begin to speak over the intercom, addressing all Snagems inside, and for those who weren't he would begin to speak over their SNAG. "All members are to report to the main area of the headquarters for an important briefing. Sub will be presiding over the briefly. This briefing is of vital importance and all members are asked to report as soon as possible, thank you." GRAY was surprisingly courteous, it must really important.
"Courtesy, from our GRAY? Sub must've danced in front of his camera." Someone quipped for the first time in what had to be forever. For once, Sol was actually around, though oddly, he had come in from the HQ's front door.
Amaranth and Cera, on the other hand, had come in from one of the halls as usual. "Who was that talking to us, and what happened to GRAY?" The Mew spoke up, tapping Amaranth's SNAG and giving a confused look at it.
"Maybe he's in a good mood..." Amaranth chimed in, wondering if that might be why GRAY's being nice for once.
"If he was in a good mood, he'd be calling us lazy loafers and act like daddy's a zombie."
"...oh."

Tumbling out of the vents before landing on the couch, Leslie found herself sitting before Sub and the announced...thing. Why were they doing the thing? Reno soon followed, a small amount of soot covering his hands and a scar across his eye now visibly showing. Passing a reflective surface and noticing it was visible, Reno quickly swiped his hair over the eye and disguised the scar before he continued his walking. Staring down Sub, he hoped that this meeting would get something interesting happening. The final arrival would be the woman from the ship, Aria walking over to Reno before poking him in the head. "Y'know, paying for anything for me here in Snagem isn't exactly an even deal with me only giving you a free performance." She quipped, tapping her guitar absentmindedly as she continued to walk past and then stand near Reno. "Meh, it's worth it. Plus I'm rollin' in the stuff, so I don't really care." The retort came from Reno, a small smile on his face as he did so.
The arriving Snagems would find Sub standing in front of the flat screen TV on the wall in the main area, awaiting their arrival. "Ah, people have begun to arrive, perhaps now we can get started. Please, everyone take a seat so that we may begin the show."
