Gotta Catch 'Em All!

[unbroken_chain]

Who: Kotoha, Akane, Ruri, Sasha, Tsukasa, Atoli, M'gann, Eikichi, Riku
Where: Pokeworld!
Summary: The Ebon Triad is up to no good, and the Shining Trapezohedron has sent Visitors to stop them.
Warnings: Pokemon can get PRETTY DARK sometimes.

No matter what you were doing before, when the dazzling flash of light clears you find yourself at the base of a Ferris wheel in what seems to be an amusement park, a vague memory of someone asking 'Now, are you a boy? Or a girl?' running through your head.

Wherever you are, it's definitely not Hinoto-Ri. And just what are those strange creatures that everyone else seems to be taking for granted?


OOC:Pokeworld Plot, START-O! You're starting in Nimbasa City. Feel free to mingle a little first, NPCs and Kotoha will chime in as necessary.
Free mingle thread starts here.
Post for actually catching Pokemon is here.
Thread for actual action is here.

[hello_mgann]

[M'gann approaches the group.]

I heard about the smugglers. If you need any stealth, I'm your girl.

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha thinks it over. Normally she just kicks the in the door and beats everyone up, but...hey, why not have some fun with this?

"I have a Pokemon with me that can seal off the exits and kill the power...M'gann, if you could just give me a general idea of where the other exits are I think Spiracule can take it from there."

[hello_mgann]

Got it.

[M'gann fades from vision and begins flying around the exterior of the warehouse looking for guards and exits.]

[stringsmon]

The warehouse apparently only has two exits - the main entrance and one in the back. There's a distinct lack of guards, as well - they might not have noticed that Espurr and Fennekin escaped yet.

[hello_mgann]

[M'gann returns to the group.]

There don't appear to be a lot of guards and the only entrances are here and in the back. So should we just split into two groups?

[resipiscent]

Sure, if that's what you guys are up for. I can take people directly inside too, if needed.

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha draws out a Pokeball and triggers the release, the torrent of light resolving itself into a massive blue and yellow spider. Kotoha affectionately pets it on the head just behind the largest set of eyes.

"Hey boy! Who's my little cutie, huh?"

Her fingers sinking slightly into the head fluff of the Pokemon, she looks up at the group around her.

"Spiracule can seal off the back door with his webs and suck all the power out of the building, and then we can just kick in the door, storm in, and round them all up. Sound like a plan?"

[deathboss]

"It's your world chica, so we'll do what's best according to you," replied Eikichi, who had totally been there the entire time, what are you guys talking about.

Unfortunately with his height and bright clothing, he was the least suitable for a sneak mission.

[travelingtheworlds]

"It sounds fine to me! I like direct rushes. They're exhilarating!" For someone who was supposedly once a tactician, Sasha tended to favor some... unsound approaches at times. Fennekin tugged at her shoe once again, and she reached down to pet it. "I think Fei is ready for action." Yes, she had already given the little fox a nickname.

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha grins and gives Spiracule a hug.

"Okay, you know what to do, Spiracule!"

The giant spider chitters enthusiastically before crawling up the wall and around towards the back of the warehouse. Kotoha, meanwhile, palms another Pokeball and stands up.

"Okay then. We wait a minute and then smash the door."

[resipiscent]

"We don't have to smash it." He raises his hand, then, swings his open palm downward in an arc. As he does so, something a deep purple-black opens in front of him, widening until it's about the width and height of a door. It looks kinda scary, but Riku's face says this is common occurrence.

"This opens directly into the warehouse, a few meters inside the door. I just thought it'd be better than making a lot of noise."

[virtualbirdwatching]

Atoli is not sure she trusts the black teleport hole of doom. It looks ominous, to say the least.

"...Well, you seem to think it's safe enough... I'm not so sure about it, though."

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha finishes counting under her breath and springs to her feet.

"Okay, let's do this!"

LEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY JENKINS!

And with that, she charges right through the portal.

[hello_mgann]

[M'gann watches Kotoha jumps into the portal. She then shrugs and jumps in herself.]

Here we go.

[resipiscent]

Riku nods back to Atoli, who looks a little uncomfortable still. "It's safe, I promise. Better than staying out here, though, right?"

[aurathread]

Tsukasa nods and follows the others into the portal. Not like they're going to do much staying out here.

[electricyousei]

"Understood."

She nods and walks into the portal.

[virtualbirdwatching]

"Well, okay..."

She can't help but be nervous, still. But she'd be fine, she just needed to trust.

Round One, Fight-O!

[stringsmon]

As the group walks out of the portal, they're treated to a scene of pandemonium - strange pokemon are running all over the place, while oddly-dressed people in red suits are trying to catch them.

One of them in particular notices the Visitors arriving and turns to address them.

"Hey! You unstylish weirdos, this is your fault, isn't it! Well, I'm gonna take you all down! Houndoom! Teach these poorly-dressed meddlers a lesson!"

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha pauses and takes a long look at the Houndoom.

"...you guys handle him, I'm gonna go look for the leader."

And with that, she just zips past the guy in the suit.

Have at it, Visitors!

[hello_mgann]

Alright, Conner come on out.

[A Machop comes out of her Pokeball and squares off against hiss opponent.]

Conner, use the karate chop.

[Conner launches at the houndoom with a fierce karate chop.]

[resipiscent]

On his shoulder, Kuro is flapping its wings excitedly, and he nods to it. Black feathers scatter as he takes off, beginning to circle the battlefield. "Wanna team up on him or take turns?"

[electricyousei]

"This isn't the most efficient way of doing this. Go for the commander. Ghastly?"

She peers over at the Pokemon floating over her shoulder and it grins evilly before looking at the Thug itself with swirly hypnotic eyes and tries to put the goon to sleep.

[stringsmon]

BOOM. The Flare Grunt is out like a light, with not even enough time for a protest. His Houndoom stares around in a bewildered fashion, trying to process what just happened.

"Wurf?"

[hello_mgann]

[The Houndoom's problems get worse a second later when M'gann's Machop lands a fierce karate chop on the back of its head.]
