Pokemon In The City-Role Play

Plug had finished the bottled water, and was laying down on his back, bloated, and barely able to move.

"Oh dear. Now I can't get out. Ah Well, guess I found my new home. It's more compact too. I wonder if I can't attach wheels on this."

Pondering these questions, Plug slowly drifted to sleep.

Kori helped Leo out the window, then hopped down to stand beside the others. Glancing around to get her bearings, she started towards the building, keeping to the shadows.

Jet followed the others out, picking up the boxes that he had set down. He looked up at the building. He'd never come across Thorn members before, but he'd be at a disadvantage if their name was anything to go by.

((Crap, sorry! Damn I am an idiot.))

Wrong thread dude.

Absol walked along a back street, heading into the city's east quarter. This was Fight Gang territory, but he didn't worry about attracting any undue attention. He knew the leader.

There was a great crash from down the street and a Machoke flew past Absol, sliding across the ground and stopping after running into a pile of garbage bags. The Fighting-type moaned as Absol came out further and looked down the street from where the Machoke had come from. A Snorlax was on the other end of the street, being faced down by a Primeape and Breloom. The two were quaking in fear.

"Now that was a punch," the Snorlax said smugly. The two Fight Gang members began to slowly back away, then turned and ran completely. The Snorlax started following them, laughing.

Eventually, the two were cornered. The Snorlax raised another fist, energy building up around it. Absol recognized Mega Punch and shook his head in sympathy for the two Fight Gang members. The Snorlax threw the punch forward...

Only to have it caught.

Seemingly out of nowhere, a Lucario had appeared and caught the punch with one hand. He then grabbed the other hand and, muscles straining, roared with effort as he spun once and threw the Snorlax through the air, halfway down the street once more. The massive Normal-type hit the ground with an earth-shaking thud, and Lucario pointed down a side street. Breloom and Primeape dragged Machoke down it, and Lucario faced Snorlax down as they left.

Snorlax got up and began charging a Hyper Beam. He fired it at Lucario, who once again lifted a hand and blocked it without any sign of effort. The Fighting/Steel type then charged forward, one fist glowing in a Focus Punch that smashed into Snorlax's cheek, rolling the skin up and sending the Normal-type flying. After he hit the ground, the Snorlax got up quickly and moved as fast as his bulk could carry him.

Lucario then turned to Absol and grinned. "I didn't expect you to be there. How do you think I handled it?"

"Considering it only took one blow from you to make him back down, very well." Absol replied, walking out of the alley towards his friend. "I have a favor to ask of you."

"Truly?" Lucario asked. "What might that be?"

"There is a group of young Pokemon that I've met up with that are in need of a safe haven. Something has its eyes set on the city and their old home isn't safe anymore. Take them in, train them if necessary. You take in orphans all the time."

Lucario nodded. "It's not really a favor if I do it all the time, but very well. I'll take them in. Just lead them to my base."

Absol nodded his thanks to Lucario, then took off into the back streets again.

Approaching the base of the building, Kori moved slowly and carefully. The place was crawling with Thorns, and while she could take out the Bulbasaurs and Roselias that passed nearby, all the Bug types walking around made her nervous.

Slipping into a side alley, she waited for the others to catch up, then darted out and over to the side of the building, searching for the source of the fire.

Jet followed Kori to the side of the building, then nodded to her and slipped inside first, checking for guards before motioning to the others. He walked over to a crate filled with bubble wrap (which he resisted the urge to pop) and went to get up on it, getting onto the edge before spotting Eltenios, battered and bruised, lying in the box.

Dear God I don't know how that happened, I hadn't meant to post that, anyways, along with posting.

Sparks was tuckered out again, sweating all over, the only move he had used to smash te rocks was Iron Tail. Lux walked over, something gripped in his tail.

"Here, take some of this, you'll feel better." He dropped the something on the ground, revealing it to be rare candy, although Sparks didn't know this.

"Wh-what? I don't know..."

"Just take it!" The Luxray said more aggresively.

"Before I do!" Lux practically shouted staring hungrily at the candy, Sparks looked down at the food and picked it up...

Following Jet into the building, Striker immediately integrated himself into the shadows. He saw Jet looking into a box and was surprised at the look on the Buizel's face.

"What do you see, Jet?" he whispered.

"It's an Arcanine..." Jet said. "It looks like the same one that was at the Dockyard Tournament a while ago...none of you know him 'cause you weren't there, but I recognize him." He jumped down into the box (causing a cacophony of popping) and shook Eltenios. "Hey...you okay?"

Kori winced a little at the loud crackling, immediately looking around, on guard. At the mention of something other than a Grass type, Leo perked up a little, though he was still poking at boxes to search for drugs rather than investigate Eltenios.

Unable to wake the Arcanine, Jet got out of the box and looked around the room. "Huh...Leo, you find anything?"

"Hm...? Not yet." Leo continued to search, snuffling the ground and overturning boxes.

"Boss isn't gonna be very happy..." he muttered under his breath. He brushed up against a large box, and a soft clicking sound came from it. Quick as a flash, Leo spun around and snagged the top of it, pulling it onto its side. He pulled it open and a few clear balls rolled out.

"This is it!" he said in an excited, though hushed, voice. "Kori, look!"

Kori walked over and bent down, picking up one of the balls. "So this is the stuff?"

Leo nodded enthusiastically. "Yep! We should bring some back to show Boss."

Kori nodded. "All right." She tossed the ball one more time, then tucked it into a small pocket inside her scarf.

Jet looked over and peered inside the box. "This is what you guys were looking for? It's just a bunch of Rare Candies."

"This is exactly what we're looking for," Leo asserted. "Now, when can we get out of here?"

Kori picked up another of the candies, looking at it curiously, then tossed it to the side.

"I'm afraid that's quite impossible..." a voice said from the shadows.

Jet spun around as Katan stepped out into the light. The Scizor had a confident smirk on his face. "Interesting...I didn't expect anyone to come running after that mutt's Flamethrower went out the window...but you four hardly look like threats anyway."

"You!" Kori snarled and clenched her fists, recognizing Katan from earlier. Leo narrowed his eyes, flexing his claws and rattling his spikes. He didn't know this Scizor, but he didn't seem friendly.

Jet looked at Katan, now noticing a number of Bug and Grass-type Pokemon starting to surround them. "Who are you?"

"Katan," the Scizor said. "I'm an...associate...of Razor's."

Jet's lip curled in a growl. "And what do you want?"

"I don't want anything." Katan replied. "I am merely doing my duty by destabilizing the balance of power among the city gangs."

"Duty to who?"

Katan snorted. "You honestly think I'm going to tell you?"

He looked at the various Grass-types. "Knock them out."

Immediately a storm of blue powder began filling the room, sprinkling down onto the four. Sleeping Powder.

Striker flinched upon hearing Katan's voice. "It's Katan!" Some of the stories he had heard about the Scizor were... disturbing, to say the least. He had hoped he wouldn't have to deal with the Bug on this excursion.

This shock didn't keep him from reacting immediately to the Sleep Powder quickly surrounding him. He let off a Swift attack all around him and his friends, effectively dispersing the Powder and preventing it from affecting it's comrades.

Turning towards the Scizor, the Mienshao said "I don't care if you're associated with Razor; that has nothing to do with why I'm here, and he's dead anyways. I'm just here to make a delivery, a pre-scheduled one, mind you, to the Thorns. I would rather we avoid fighting here; that would just be bad business."

Katan raised an eyebrow. "Very well, then. Set the berries down and we'll let you leave peacefully."

"And how do you know you'll keep your word?" Jet asked.

"Have we done anything malicious to any of the gangs around here?" the Scizor asked the Buizel, cocking his head to one side.

Jet was about to make a snappy comeback but realized he didn't have one. Katan was right. "But what about Eltenios?"

"He attempted to swindle us," Katan replied. "We merely...discouraged him from trying it again."

Jet looked from the Scizor, to the group of Bug and Grass Pokemon surrounding them, then back at Katan. "We're taking him with us."

"Fine with us. He's taking up space, anyway."

Jet stood still for a moment to see if they would still try anything, but relaxed a bit when they didn't. He looked at Striker and Leo. "You two get Eltenios out of the box. Kori and I will cover you."

Inwardly breathing a sigh of relief, Striker calmly replied "Thank you, Mr. Katan. I figured you would agree with such a proposal. I've heard of your excellent business sense." Among other abilities, he mentally added.

As he and Leo carefully lifted the Arcanine out of the box, he added "I trust I will receive my payment as scheduled?"

Katan nodded to the Bulbasaur that he had appointed as his aide. "Make sure he does."

The Bulbasaur nodded and Jet led the group from the building, periodically looking back over his shoulder to make sure they weren't being followed.

Sparks looked down at the candy in his hand, Lux glaring at him.

What could be so bad about it? It's just candy...On the other hand, something had to have happened to make Lux so furios about it...

His thoughts where interrupted as Lux snapped at him. He quickly, without thinking, took a bite out of the candy...

Leo glanced over his shoulder almost constantly as he helped Striker carry Eltenios out of the building. He still felt nervous surrounded by Grass types.

Kori, on the other hand, was feeling rather confident. She had an Ice Punch held in front of her chest as she trailed Leo and Striker, giving the assorted gang members warning glares.
