ExLink do you still want to battle Kristen instead of Evan? I can let him sit things out since I decided to not give him a fourth Pokémon right now. (He's still getting the two for the story) Evan's situation is coming later. I think it's about time I did something about that character list on page 1 xD

At the camp Tyron and Alastair gathered all the volunteers and split them into two groups. Mareek, Kenny, Lana and James went with Tyron while Robert, Jacob and Claude formed a search party with Alastair. The two groups quickly split up. Group Tyron (Surge, K_H, Azery) What the students didn’t know was that Tyron and Alastair made secret plans. Alastair would go and search the place where Evan fell and most likely would be, while Tyron took his students to the area in between Evan and the previous mentioned Team Rocket members. Right after they split from Alastair’s group Tyron instructed everyone to keep their eyes out for suspicious situations, footprints and even pieces of cloth. It took them a while before they actually found anything but after half an hour off searching Tyron motioned his group to stop. Team Rocket got sloppy. One of the thorn bushes hung a piece of black cloth. Two meters further was half a footprint. Tyron was certain it didn’t belong to a student or a Ranger as they wore specific shoes. Group Alastair (Jory, Turbo, Elf) The group finally arrived at the place where they suspected Evan would be. “We’re here. Keep a close eye on everything that moves and the ground. The chances are high that Evan is lying somewhere knocked out.” A rustling sound not far from them caught Alastair’s attention. “Evan?” the breeder asked. No response. Instead a Dragonite showed up and shook his head. He waved his hand in a following motion and flew slowly in front of the search party and led them to where Evan fell. Broken twigs, flat bushes and even a stone with blood showed where the student tumbled down, right to a place where a body had been lying earlier. The print was still fresh but Evan was nowhere to be seen. A weird set of footprints were all over the place like something had been circling around him. Alastair inspected them and mumbled ‘Skarmory’ before turning his attention to the students. “This is bad. Either Evan is awake and has no idea where he his and got lost or…” he sighed and almost whispered. “Or they took him.” Murdoc and ExLink In his haste to get this conversation over with Devin realized too late he used Kages nickname. It wasn’t like him but something about this whole situation just didn’t feel right. The Donphan that went on a rampage and injured students, Dragonite that still hadn’t returned with news about Evan Reeves… He felt like he failed to protect the students twice in a row. He sighed after hearing Kages heated answer, but was interrupted by Slade. “Team Rocket approached you?” he asked surprised. Yet another suspicious situation that didn’t make any sense… “Thank you for telling me this. I’m sure Professors Arlyn and Silva will handle the situation. In the meantime all I can do is keeping an eye out here.” I doubt that was really Team Rocket. They weren’t that smart in the past and there hasn’t been any report they crossed Ymora’s borders. The remaining members should be keeping a low profile at the black market in Johto and Kanto… What’s really going on here? I need to talk with Professor Redwood! Devin’s face showed no emotion and he waited until Slade left. If those criminals were still running around he had to do something to ensure the students safety. He wouldn’t be caught off guard for a second time. His senses were on high alert when he turned back to Kage. “Kageharu,” this time the authority was back in his voice, “I can understand you didn’t want us to make a fuss about it. However I’m disappointed you didn’t trust the staff. We could’ve helped you out by giving you headphones when you had to read something.” He put his hand on Kages shoulder and smiled a little. “Let us help you just a little. And may I add that I’m impressed you managed to fool us for so long? I’m pretty sure none of the other staff members suspect anything. I take it Lucas helped you out whenever you had to write or read something?”

At the camp “Yes, you both can come,” Tyron answered Kenny and James. He then walked over to Alastair who was shaking hands with Robert. “I got two more so we can leave. I’ll send the one boy with the Lucario with you.” “That’s fine by me,” Alastair replied. “I’m ready to leave whenever you say. We need to coordinate this search as best as we can.” Tyron nodded. “Alright, last call! The search parties leave within one minute! Anyway else that wants to join us speak up now!” Jory Kristen smiled as she watched Jacob interact with his Togepi. It was then she heard Tyron’s voice. “Well they have enough people it seems. I don’t think I’ll be of any help in this state so I’m staying behind. Sorry!”

Yeah I wanted to update like an hour ago but I got caught in a tournament on PS. And one of those battles took a long time. And I'm waiting for someone to take the last available spot so I can move everyone again. Edit 2: I'm off to bed. It's too late to make a decent update.

Herd of Donphan's might have stomped Danielle flat and still Slade checks up on everyone else first. o.O That's one hell of a weird relationship.

1 slot left if Kristen doesn't go. I see Azery wants to go as well so if there can be a person extra. (I can also leave Lana out if necessary)

Phoebe The Water Expert reached the place Slade told her about rather fast. She looked around for clues, footprints and even the Swellow. After looking for a rather long time she hated to admit that these ‘Team Rocket’ members were clean. They did a good job not leaving, or erasing, any evidence. The only thing she found was that Swellow but aside from useless shiny things, there wasn’t any indication the bird knew more. In fact the Swellow refused to cooperate with someone who obviously wasn’t fond off the friendliest humans she ever met. Disappointed she had no chose but to make her way back. ((Right now she ahead in time and will arrive around the time Devin returns)) TurboAura “Ah good of you to volunteer,” Alastair said. “Now we just need one more member, but by the looks of it Jacob is working on that.” He then turned back to Robert and looked the student in the eyes. “What’s your name? I’m sorry but there’s too many of you to remember in two days time.”

Shhhh the rest didn't see that. Edit: Apparently Turbo ninja'd me in here. I noticed after I posted. I had the feeling I missed something that I knew I had to include. xD

Never mind I completely posted in the wrong thread xD I was updating because I noticed I skipped Robert...

Christmas Elf Tyron nodded in appreciation to Claude. “Alright, you’re with me and Lana. That means we only need one more person before we go!” Jory Kristen was still flustered about what happened. “Oh, uhm, yeah, sorry, I’m still… you know I’m trying to get my head around the whole Donphan thing. It was really scary being out there. We’re lucky no one else went missing… Give me a minute. If no one else wants to go I’ll help you out.” She gave Jacob a little smile and found it cute he seemed a bit flustered. Maybe this entire situation wasn’t so bad at all? Group Devin While Raiza was taking care of Henry, Devin made his way to the healthy students. He sent them off in one big group under guidance of Haxorus and Tyrantrum. Only a few that needed some treatment for cuts and bruises remained and waited for their turn. After that was taken care of the Elite Four member walked over to Kage. “Hey Kage, there’s no way to cut this short so I’m going to be straight with you. Is there anything you have been keeping secret from the teachers?” This wasn’t his preferred timing to have this conversation but at least they had some privacy out here.

Kenny currently isn't with Ryan. And if you are going to use that method the Phanpy doesn't know anything. I can't make it too easy to figure out Rocket was fake.

And how do you want to do that? It's not like it can talk.

Alastair and Tyron will each take 3 students with them. If no one else volunteers Tyron will pick some random near by students. Also don't expect too much action. RoG doesn't have enough members present and already achieved their goals. It's just to make sense because Evan has no clue where he is so I can't let him magically appear at the camp.

At the camp “I think I’m going with Professor Silva and Alastair,” Lana told Kage and Raiza. “I know Evan a little bit so I might be able to help. His Eevee also befriended Rhy so he can recognize it.” She called Rhy and walked over to Tyron. She arrived right behind Slade and added to his request. “I want to volunteer too,” she said determined, “I know Evan and Rhy here can recognize his Eevee.” Tyron nodded to the two students in front of him. “You can come with us,” he said to Lana. “As for you; go with Ryan. I entrusted him with finding group two since he knows Devin’s Flygon best. Go tell him that you and those other two are enough. Flygon and Haxorus will lead you to the group and protect you if necessary.” He then turned his attention to Alastair who was talking to Jacob. He could hear the breeder thank the students for his volunteering. “Do you have enough medical supplies in your back, Alastair?” “Yes, and I currently have one volunteer. What about you?” “Same. The students are still spreading the word amongst themselves so I hope there are a few others around that know Evan Reeves,” Tyron replied. Out the corner of his eye he saw Ryan’s group leave. Tacos, Zephyr, Murdoc and ExLink The group followed the Haxorus while Flygon kept an eye out from above. There weren’t any signs of trouble and 20 minutes later they arrived at the place group two was waiting. Most students were sitting at the side of the road, talking. Devin, who was still with Danielle and Henry, was at the very end.

Agreed. In my next update I'm going to include this anyway.

I haven't wrote the part yet and as far as I can tell I only made the mistake in here, not the IC thread. Not that she'll find anything.

I think I made a mistake earlier with the Swellow. I was thinking about Phoebe's part and realized Slade met the Swellow in the forest, not the swamp. I got confused but turned out Turbo was right xD

No one really knows Evan so Claude can still go. The only one left who knows him a little is Lana but she might be picked by Ryan to help him.

DarkLight and Commander “It’s a normal transmitter Alastair planted on a Phanpy. I don’t know what you hope to achieve by getting that, but if Avis wants to go and find it I won’t stop you.” Devin pointed the general direction of where the Donphan herd was earlier that day. “They were hanging around an open space with a little creek next to it. The transmitter is small, silver and a little red light indicates it’s on.” He gave a big sigh and turned to Danielle. “I agree that this doesn’t seem like something a Hunter would do. However the Donphan would never want to charge at someone. Whoever did this must’ve found a way to scare them enough that they feared about the safety of their herd. That’s the only reason they would charge like that without caring about anyone in their way.” At the camp Tyron raised an eyebrow at Slades remark about Team Rocket but didn’t say anything about it. Phoebe would be able to handle whatever was going on. He had to come up with a plan without her and nodded in appreciation to Jacob and Claude. “Alright, this is what we’re going to do,” he said loud enough for everyone to hear. “You, Ryan, go and find the medical supplies in the teacher’s cottage. After that take Devin’s Flygon and Haxorus and find group two. Take some friends with you.” He then turned his attention to the rest of the students gathered around him. “I need a few volunteers to go with me or Alastair to find Evan Reeves. People that know who he is are first choice. I will take three students with me and the same for Alastair.” “I’ll stay here to keep an eye on the remaining students and the Donphan,” Roman said. “Phoebe’s Pokémon can assist me. Good luck finding the student.” Tyron and Alastair both nodded. They walked over to the edge of the camp and studied the map. Alastair wrote something on it and Tyron nodded while waiting for the students that volunteered to join them.

Done. I need to do something about that overview anyway.

No problem. I don't think I said I relocated the Swellow but there's bound to be more than 1 so I didn't think about doing that. Btw Commander: Alastair placed that GPS tracking device, not RoG. I don't know what you are planning to do with it but you shouldn't be able to track RoG down with that thing.

The Swellow changed places. It was lured by shiny things (I mentioned those) when she relocated after multiple failures in the forest.

Death Angel, Ashnard, Werewolf. Those were the only words Sigurd was interested in. He kept quiet because he couldn’t bring himself to trust these Gnolls as far as he could throw them. Their lips were too loose for his liking and when Helzebeth asked about Ashnard he decided to step in. He didn’t want to rely on the possible information they could gain from these guys as they could be tricking them. “Before you answer that I want to know something first,” Sigurd interrupted. “If you want to save your friend, why are you still here telling us everything we want to know? Surely you gain nothing from this and are just wasting time while Ashnard’s minions hunt down Curfew.”

They will each lead a search team. And I planned for Devin to be back so Kage can tell him.
