Joseph: You know the Gardener? And who was it supposed to hold? Talk while I do this.
-he sends a group message-
Munn's held captive someplace. I need people with me. Humans only, it must be a Pokeform thingamajig. Meet me in my Center room as soon as possible.

After the Raid
Charlie: Everyone knows the Gardener. Or, more correctly, the Gardener knows everyone. In any case, you can only send a small team in. Maybe five people, maximum.

-Ren wills Izanagi to join in the assault with a Rock Slide, but as the attacks close in on Shadow Ren, Shadow Ren waves his rod, creating a barrier to reflect the status attacks back at the users - and the Poison Gas back through out the auditorium and the other attacks do minimal damage - even the super effective ones.-
-Shadow Ren sees Mendel willing Pythagoras to use Recover to heal those near him as he reads off the scan data.-
Mendel: Got intel. Shadow Ren, his typing is Fir— AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHH!
-Mendel is interrupted by an Eruption engulfing him and Pythagoras.-
Shadow Ren: I think not.
-From within the column of fire, a sound like breaking glass echoes. And as the flames disperse, Mendel is lying on the charred ground unconscious, Pythagoras having been taken out in one massive hit.-
Shadow Ren: Who's next?

Disguised!Cynthia: Great... He is back. So long for the hiding.
Phaz: I searched for all of you during Arceus know long! Why did you even do that?! What did you even do during that ?!
Disguised!Cynthia: Helix help me, i'm surronded by idiots. I repared an error caused by little Embry over there.
Embry: <Hi Phaz!>
Phaz: I knew i can't even sleep without one of you making something dumb... What did he do now?
Disguised!Cynthia: Stole berries from this stand over there.
Phaz: So that's why you were in the thrift shop. Nice costume by the way.
Disguised!Cynthia: Thanks. We still have some money left.
Phaz: Apologies accepted.
Disguised!Cynthia: But it's mine.
Phaz: Apologies unaccepted. Now let's go back to Amelie's place. And no more berries Embry!... Yet.
Embry: -chews-
Phaz: ...I hope it's a rock you are chewing. Anyways, let's go.

Would wrecking Shadow Ren's composure do the trick? Or maybe insulting his pride? Or would that make him even angrier and get people honestly killed?

Sergey is around, as is Alyesha, the two were sitting together at her stand, looking after their respective teams who all had their good time, at the time Magnus was sparring with Krasnaya, while the rest played various games.

Zachary: "....wwhoooOAAAAAHHH! W-What happened? D-Did we daze off again?"
Ghiaccio: <I mean, I-It seems we did....for a third time>
Zachary: "I don't....We were talking with....And then we just....Gaahh!! We NEED to find something to do right now!"
Zachary gets a call on his Poke Nav, his eyes light up as he sees it's from the Sheriff
Sheriff: "Er, Zachary? Uhh, this is gonna be an interesting request but uhh....I'm gonna need you to move to Veilstone right now"
Zachary: "Sure, but why?"
Sheriff: "We found the Shiny Budew hanging out in Eterna Forest, but before we could catch him a group of wild Staravia flew by and picked him up and flew towards Veilstone"
Zachary: "....What."
Sheriff: "Those Staravia are really hostile and i'm not sure we can guarantee the safety of the Budew if we take too long, I know that I shouldn't be so worried about it since it's a wild Pokemon and technically a criminal but i'd like to ensure that it's alive and my men are too busy currently, and I've heard you're pretty close by."
Zachary: "Y-Yes, sir, don't worry, we'll bring back that Budew alive and inside a Poke Ball!"
Zachary hangs up and mounts on Bunby along with Ghiaccio as he tells her where to go and she takes off towards Veilstone
=Route 124=
Bunby is flying closer towards the city as Ghiaccio and Zachary look around carefully
Zachary: "Okay guys remember to look for a Shiny Budew, which shouldn't be hard as it would stand out a lot."
Ghiaccio suddenly yells loudly as she points her fin forwards to a gang of Staravia holding the Shiny Budew on their beaks, Bunby tries to slow down in front of them but is going too fast and ends up crashing with them, causing them to release the Shiny Budew, who is now falling towards the ground.
Bunby: <Gah! Damn Staravias don't know how maneuver mid-air! Now we gotta do something about that Budew before it hits the ground!>
Zachary: "Uhhh...Uhhh! I have an idea! Try to get a bit closer and use Defog to push it into that lake!"
Bunby flies closer to the Budew, though still not close enough for Zachary and Bunby to reach out to it, and then slams her wings together with force, creating a strong rush of wind that pushes the Budew and causes it to land in a lake instead of the ground, causing it way less damage than if it had landed on the ground.
Zachary: "Whew....That was....a bit too intense...B-But is it fine?"
Zachary keeps looking into the lake as the Budew gets out and tiredly looks around, confused of its new surroundings before running into Veilstone City.
Zachary: "Alright gang, we're going to Veilstone!"
=Veilstone City=
Bunby lands somewhere in Veilstone City, a bit more carefully than last time, and Zachary and Ghiaccio get off
Zachary: "Okay, we have a Shiny Budew to look for, but it can't hurt to spend a little time around the city, can it?"
Ghiaccio: <Sounds good to me!>
Bunby: <Eh, i'm sorry gang but i'm a bit exhausted from all the flying, so i'd just prefer to sit in my Poke Ball for the time being>
Bunby tries to convey to Zachary that she's too tired by getting out her Poke Ball and faking herself falling to the ground from exhaustion and tapping her forehead against the Poke Ball.
Zachary: "Hehehe, okay i'm assuming you want to get back to your Poke Ball?"
Bunby nods and Zachary recalls her before getting out Aurum.
Aurum: ~Oh dear Arceus what did you get yourself into this time?~
Zachary: "Stop assuming that every time I bring you out it's because something has gone wrong! I just thought you might wanna chill out and simply go look for a Shiny Budew with us in the city since you've gotten yourself in pretty dangerous situations recently"
Aurum: ~...Eh, okay it can't hurt to finally relax a little~
Zachary, Bunby and Aurum set out to look for the Budew, in the process they may bump into someone at Veilstone.
A bit long but I feel like it fits I've been so inactive recently

Meant to post last night with at least a generic "I guess a lab might be useful?" type comment from Blitz, but waited too long and fell asleep. I suppose we could always skip to seeing the lab after it's been set up or someting, unless Tagg has more commentary/questions while everyone's still in President Stone's office
You're shivering. Are you afraid?
Lily: Yeah, sure! That means beat him up, right? -ignites her psi blades-
Jenna: No, Lily. He means literally educate him.
Lily: -turns them off- Aww, but that's boring!
Noelle: Well, we're looking for anyone who's trying to block out Auric spectrum powers. You know, like Fighting, Psychic, and Dark type mons can use?
Forte: And Ghost types!
Noelle: Yeah, that. Seen any of that around?
-while the others are talking, Pianis is using a pair of Obscuric tentacles, one holding a hairbrush and the other holding a mirror-
Pianis: Ugh, how does this always get so tangled...
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.
After the Raid
Charlie: Hah. The Gardener was right, you certainly are a quick one. Currently, he's being held captive in a hell-dimension known as The Serpent's Cage. Honestly, its pretty crazy they're holding him there, seeing as it was only ever designed to hold the one, other occupant. In any case, you're going to need a team. Humans only, I'm afraid - the entry ritual isn't designed with Pokemon in mind.
