ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-grins back, with the look of utmost contentment on his face-

-Rogue holds Newt-

Tee hee! Pay attention now, your mommy's a great fighter!

-To Crow-

I see.

Ovis: -To Setsuna and Dewott- <Where's DS?>

DS: OK then. You want Nico to notice the bracelet, or...

0blivion: Edited one of my recent posts for you. Go back a page or two.

Black City, near Crow?

-Nico and his mons make it to the basement, where they gawk at the caged mons-

Nico: Oh man... What is this place?

Opera: <This is terrible!>

Lancelot: <What the heck did these chumps do?>

Nazca: <This appears to be the home of a smuggler, Sir Nicodemus...>

Nico: Yeah... But where's DS?

-Psychically scans the basement for clues-

Humilau City

Herbert: A Rotom, huh? Neat. Unfortunately for you, I'm packing at least three Dark-types. Ripley! You're up first!

Newt: <Mam-eeee!>

Ripley: <Thanks, sweetie! Preparing for Shauntal now, Herbert?>

Herbert: You could say that. Ripley, Hone Claws, then Night Slash!

Ripley: <Time to find some furniture to hide in, Rotom.>

-Ripley darts forward, sharpening her claws before swiping with a pulsing black claw.-

Herbert: ...You know, I'm certain you could have come up with a better one-liner.

Humilau City

"Implying Sakura doesn't care about everyone everywhere." joked Grant, chuckling a bit "I'm sure they'd buy something for your birthday, in any case, it's funny how your closest friends were the ones that perhaps had the worse meetings with you."

Rogue: Tee hee! Concentrate, Ripley!

Now, Newt, can you say daddy, tee hee?

Melinda's House

-Crow and Gogie have been waiting outside with Betelgeuse for Tagg-

Crow: "We're at what I presume is Melinda's house right now. You need directions?"

Humilau City

Jacob: -Chuckles at that- "Right... I guess I forgot. That's even how we met, she was concerned when she saw me coughing up blood..."

-Shakes head, trying to forget the memories- "And I thought that was funny too. And they wouldn't need to buy me things... I already have enough things." -Scratches back of head-

Umbra: Sure, why not?

Melinda's house, the basement

Random caged Pokémon: <Eep! Another stranger!>

Another Pokémon: <Oh, this can't be good...>

- A silver bracelet partially covered in spider web from a Galvantula's string shot may be laying on the floor. A silver heart and a Legend badge are attached to the chain -

With Tagg

Setsuna: (trying to catch her breath) <DS... She and Mirage...>

Dewott: <We kind of had to leave them in the middle of a confrontation with Melinda in order to get some help. We last saw them in the basement where I've been imprisoned for...> (thinks for a moment, shrugs) <... I don't remember how long it's been.>

Setsuna: (nods)

Humilau Gym

-Zanna is blasted by the Ice Beam and after already taking the Bounce attack is knocked out-

Zanna:<ARRRGH! T-that c-c-col...>

-Ren recalls Zanna-

Ren:Thank you Zanna you were wonderful. Next up on the program is... Luthia, your audience awaits!

-Luthia bursts out of her Moon Ball giggling. Around her neck hangs a purle orb which glows with a faint pink hue-

Lutia:<Hehehe. Hi there!.>-in thought-<(Oh, he looks pathetic. No challenge here, huh?)>

Ren:-Ren, while indicating Luthia's pendant, and asks Marlon-May Luthia use a Life Orb?

Humilau

Myra: <Eeeeeep!>

-Unfortunately for Myra, benches are not the sort of furniture Rotom can hide in. She is hit for around half of her health.-

Sarah: I guess I might as well consider you training for Grimsley, then. Myra, Signal Beam!

-Myra fires a strange signal at Ripley-

-At the beach, Rill is covering Galvani with sand, which the Magnezone rubs against for friction-

Galvani: Beeooooooo... Dewoooo...

Rill: <There you go, Galv. Just make sure you pull yourself out before the tide rolls in.>

Galvani: Bwoo, bwoo.

-Ajax walks ups, covered in Frillish-

Rill: <Woah! What happened?!>

Ajax: <I think they like me...>

Young Frillish: <He's our big rock buddy!>

-To Crow-

That would be useful, thanks.

Azumarill: <This "Melinda" person sounds pretty terrible.>

Fenrir: <If their Auras are any indication, she really is.>

Ovis: -Sparking- <Let's get her then.>

Humilau City

"Hey, who knows, they might get something very useful for you or maybe even make something for you themselves, don't be like that." said Grant.

Duke then passes by them, looking rather frustated.

"Hey Duke!" said Grant, trying to draw his attention

"Hm? Oh, hi Grant, Jacob, Conan and... Sorry, I don't remember your name." said Duke, to Kit.

"<I'm Kit, Mr.Duke!>"

"Oh, all right then, anyway, how's it going?" he asked, with a small smile

Humilau City

-Ripley is hit by the Signal Beam for heavy damage and is sent flying back a ways, eventually skidding to a halt.-

Herbert: ...Actually, we're kind of similar, aren't we? Me and Grimsley, I mean. All black clothing, heavy reliance on Dark-types, pragmatic to a fault...

Ripley: <Um, battle going on?>

Herbert: Oh, right! Ripley, use-

Ripley: <Bored now. Attacking.>

-She sharpens her claws again, before jumping at Myra with a fist of Ghost Obscura.-

Herbert: ...Okay, that works.

-Newt cheers Ripley on with enthusiastic squeaks, before looking back at Rogue.-

Newt: <Tee hee-eeee! Dad-eeee!>

Humilau City

Jacob: -To Grant- "Oh, I didn't think of that... I'm not opposed to gifts, I just-"

-Suddenly Duke- "Oh hey Duke...." -Raises eyebrow-

"Something wrong?"

Black City

Crow: "Alright."

-He gives an idea of where the house is in Black City and what the vicinity looks like to the best of his ability-

With Tagg

Dewott: (nods) <Yeah, she's pretty bad, although not as bad as that Chandelure of hers.>

Setsuna: (shudders) <Hopefully when this is over, he will no longer haunt my dreams...>

-Rogue goes into another series of giggles-

Tee hee hee! You even giggle, tee hee!

Humilau Gym

Marlon: Sure, it's all good. Mantine, Scald!

-Mantine flies down towards Luthia- <FLIGHT~>

-and blasts her with a boiling stream of water, as the water from the Rain Dance heats to a dangerous level-

Humilau City

"Oh... It's that girl, she simply disappeared." said Duke, rubbing the top of his head.

"<You mean Lyuri?>" asked Kit

"No, I'm talking about Rillianne, I've been looking for her since that day and I found nothing." answered Duke, with a sigh.

"Huh...? Did you fall in love with another girl?" asked Grant

"No. It's the inverse." said Duke, taking the suggestion fairly well

"Oh... That's a problem." said Grant.

Humilau City

Jacob: -Sighs- "Do you have a way to call her or anything? I'm sure Sakura has her number. Speaking of Sakura could you ask Lyuri to talk to her? She probably needs to."

Thanks Crow, we'll be there in a bit.

A couple minutes later

-We approach Melinda's house and spot Crow, Gogie, and Betelgeuse, fully in battle mode-

Have you guys managed to find anything yet?

Humilau City

"I don't know, considering how sensitive the subject is, it's better to tell her face-to-face." said Duke "That and I don't know how to use a phone either." he thought, then looking at Jacob curiously "Something going on with Sakura?"

"She's been rather down recently." answered Grant.

"Really? When I talked to her two days ago she seemed quite cheerful." said Duke, rather surprised.

Black City, Melinda's House

Nico: -finds the bracelet, picks it up- This bracelet... I can sense DS on it! The smuggler must have got her!

-To his mons-

Get to work on freeing these Pokemon! I'll get Crow!

-Rushes upstairs and outside to Crow carrying the bracelet, while his mons start breaking open the cages-
