Reitt nodded, "Yeah." And with that, he took out what looked like a black Pokeball.
He tossed it on the ground and it let out a burst of white energy, showing a strange looking "Pokemon" with a single red, robot-like eye, a light bulb shaped lower body, and sixteen long, biomechanical looking tentacles, eight each coming out of two large cones on either side of the head.
"ESX-09, be a pal and go get those spare cloaks I brought along. Teleport to Home Base."
The mechanical looking thing vanished, and thirty seconds later it returned with a number of cloaks grasped in its tendrils.
Reitt knew it was a little pointless given what that thing was, but he said, "Good job. Now return." He returned it to the black Pokeball. "So guys, ready to get going?"
Kagato knew, somehow, that was one of the SLAVE things, but that Reitt could be expected to have an early production model or something at this stage. "...Thanks, Reitt."
"Thank you." she said looking unnervingly at ESX-09. "Let's go. We've got work to do." she said.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Patricia smirked at Nao's reaction, and sat back down, drinking her tea. Before Nao walked off, Patricia said, "Hm. If you must know, I wasn't the one who organized that campaign. I wouldn't stoop to dirty tactics like yours. I'm just letting you know about the state of affairs. If you want to continue battling in tournaments, I suggest you change your outlook." She said calmly, while sipping her tea.
Patricia's ears perked up. "Hmm, perhaps I'll come along too." She said. When Reitt sent out that... thing, the lady reeled back, along with the other Pokemon. She hadn't seen something like that before, but she knew it was one of those SLAVE things. Umbrella stared at it curiously. "Umm... Sis, what the heck is that?" She asked. Parasoul looked over to the Breloom. "I... don't know exactly. Is that one of those... things, they were talking about earlier?" She wondered nervously. That thing didn't look natural. Argus rolled its eyes. "Tch. Is that what they're gonna replace us with? Looks shoddy, stupid, and useless." The deranged Magneton commented.
You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!Reitt looked over at them, and sighed, "...Sorry if ESX-09 disturbed you guys."
He had to wonder if this whole idea was really gonna work.
Kagato did not much like the idea of replacing Pokemon with those things, but they could help certain people.
So, as Reitt handed out the cloaks and Kagato and Tsukasa put on one to get ready to go see those Battlers, the silver haired youth had to wonder what was gonna go on with Koltei and if the other nations would abide such a thing.

Keiran had kept quiet when Reitt's SLAVE appeared. He considered pulling out his pokedex but it would be rude. And probably wouldn't give him any info. Its robot-like appearance and use of teleport suggested Steel/Physic, but he couldn't be sure.
"Thanks," he said, then reassured Reitt, "Not really. Just interesting to see something new."

You must agree, my plan is sheer elegance in its simplicity! My TumblrKagato supposed that was true as well. It was something new, just because it was a machine was no reason to dislike it.
"Yeah."
Reitt smiled a little, "...Thanks." He had to wonder if they'd react the same way knowing the truth about him. "Now, lets get going." He made sure everyone had their disguises, in terms of persons going.
Kaitlyn put on her cloak. "I'm ready..." she said worried about being seen.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Does Kagato know about Mr. Sykes?
Kaitlyn figetted as she drew near to the tournament.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.I had thought she mentioned it at some point.
As the group arrived, Green and Blue were walking out of the tournament area, they seemed to have tried to ditch the reporters, but one particularly stubborn one was following along. All the talk was about was SLAVE's, and they had excused themselves to think about more important things, mostly what that group was doing at this time.
Green just sighed, "Miss Asakura, I have said no comment to basically everything you've asked about the SLAVE thing, I really hope its out of your system by this point."
Asakura, in fact Tomoko's older sister, refused to take no for an answer, but soon enough saw something more alluring than making money: Yuichi Dai Argenese.
And with that, the young reporter excused herself.
She's pretending to be Jo Foster right now I think.
Kaitlyn scoured the trainers. "What should we do Kagato?"
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Kagato spotted Green and Blue, and said, "I think I saw those two on the TV...Green and Blue, I think. That reporter from earlier kinda resembled that Tomoko girl...hmm, lets go!"
Tsukasa nodded.
And with that, Kagato started to walk over, looking back at Kaitlyn.

No, I'm not really with you. I think a small critique for the future is in order.

"Jack, you have debauched my sloth."Keiran followed after Jo, Kagato and Tsukasa. He looked around, with his hands in his pockets. He saw Reitt wander off but figured he had better things to do. It was weird being backstage; the borrowed cloak marked him as part of the Koltei contingent but he managed to deflect people's questions by saying he was just a minor roadie and knew nothing.
He kept his eye out for any of his idol trainers, the dark and water type trainers mostly. He hadn't seen any yet.
You must agree, my plan is sheer elegance in its simplicity! My TumblrAfter paying for the last sprig of herb that he needed, Vince began to head back to his hotel suite, too busy drinking in the scenery and everything going on around him to notice that he had unwittingly wandered into what appeared to be a red-light district. The stagnant odor of rubbish, piss, and shit pierced his lungs, occasionally mingled with the buzzing of flies and drunken laughter from deadbeat leeches on society.* Attempting to keep an eye on his surroundings, he paused to regain his composure in the sidewalk.

"Jack, you have debauched my sloth."As Kaitlyn walked down the hallway there was the voice of a Glaceon calling at the group. "I'm smelling something." the Leafeon said. "Is it her?" the Glaceon asked to herself.
"Ceres...." Kaitlyn said quietly as she tried to slip the other way.

The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Suddenly, six people were surrounding the older man.
All of them looked like natives of Koltei, the leader wearing shades and having long white hair. Their outfits were composed of a black long coat that was short on one side and long on the other. Each was wearing steel armored gauntlets, khaki pants and grieves.
The leader smiled lightly, "Ah, so it appears we have found one of them. While the failure to capture the girl and the islander is regrettable, I suppose we will have to make due with you. Men, take him into our custody."
The other five rushed at him, one of them carrying a taser.
As Kaitlyn began to back away, Kagato took notice, and said, "S-Sorry, but we are gonna have to get going."
With that, he decided to follow Kaitlyn out of there.
Green was left thinking on this, Those kids...was there something that Leafeon detected? Did they commune with it somehow?
He considered if they were those kinds of people. If so, he hoped they were careful. He had heard rumors of certain groups out there scouring the city for the Speakers.
Keiran was just strolling after Jo, Tsukasa and Kagato when Jo suddenly seemed to spook. She pulled a 180 and started walking the way they'd come in that walk that screamed "I'm trying to sneak without looking like it and failing spectacularly". The only logical reason he could think was that they'd been made, but he hadn't even seen them talk to anyone yet.
Trying to be a little more subtle, he looked at his phone as if he'd got a message, and started strolling casually out of there. He was a little disappointed, but mostly that their ruse had fallen through so quickly, rather than not getting to meet any of the famous trainers.
"So we're we made?" he asked quietly as he caught up to them.

She smiled nervously. Maybe being on Tv for years did actually teach me a degree of acting. Keep this up Kaitlyn. "I'd love it if you came along. The more the merrier." she said cheerfully.
