Bakudai leaned against a nearby tree, toying with his pipe in his fingers for a moment or two before placing it in his mouth. The baku had no immediate interest in the deer Master Yoriie was gutting, as he only really ate corporeal out of his own dignified taste. Master Yoriie, on the other hand, required sustenance, which was often scarce, so it was no place for Bakudai to ask for a piece. Glancing at Ivoh'to, Bakudai grinned, blowing a puff of sand in the air. "Perhaps a cat's playful prank?" He jested, knowing full well it wasn't. "Otherwise I'd be pleased. Changes in seasons bring many a bad dream to the commonfolk of this area. It'd be a feast. But now alas." He casually shrugged, an aloof smirk dancing on his lips.

#04 BEACH CATHODE, EMM, GREG, JOY & JAY Mr. Cuddles isn't fast enough to get close enough to hit the Gyarados before the sea serpent lunges at Ember. Ember sticks out her beak, parrying the Gyarados's Bite so it only scrapped her. Ember's Peck (5,212) deflects Gyarados #4's Bite (10,800) Peck's Atk Value is reduced to 0 Bite's Atk Value is reduced to 5,588 crit: 70,38 no crit flinch: 40,81 no flinch It's not very effective! Ember takes 34 damage. With the fangs parried, the move fails to hit any important spots on the chicken's body, instead only scrapping her wing. The other Gyarados being incapacitated or escaping, this gives Matilda a chance to Confuse another one. Matilda's Confuse Ray on Gyarados #5 Gyarados #05 is now confused. Nicaea jumps in as well. Nicaea's Sleep Powder on Gyarados #5 (75% Acc) miss: 24,36 hit Gyarados #5 falls asleep. The serpent heading for the times wobbily falls asleep as it's tag teamed by two debilitating moves. Its eyes unfocused and spinning, it falls with its body backwards into the sand. Meanwhile, Mr. Cuddles finally reaches the Gyarados, gathering energy into its fist, punching it again in its body. Mr. Cuddles's Chip Away (14,373 Atk Value) on Gyarados #04 crit: 69,73 no crit Gyarados #04 takes 128 damage. The punch pushed the Gyarados towards the sealine with incredible force, giving Joy a clear shot to throw her Aether Ball. It shakes 3 times, but right then, the Aether Ball bursts back open, smashed to pieces, the Gyarados back out and angrily glaring at Cuddles, Joy and Ember, totally not even noticing Jay. Cathode throws out the Gyarados and commands it, but...it's still asleep. It just falls into the sand, snoring peacefully. However, it still exerts an intimidating aura. Gyarados's [Intimidate] Gyarados #2, #3, #4 and #5 have their Atk drop 1 stage. [Turn 6 End] Gyarados #2 sleep: 20,61 Gyarados #2 wakes up! Cathode's Gyarados's sleep: 81,74 It's fast asleep. The sleeping Gyarados suddenly opens its eyes and rears its head up, lifting it from the sand and turning towards Emm and Nicaea. On the other hand, Cathode's Gyarados is still snoring peacefully, as is the escaping Gyarados. It must also be dreaming of rubber Ducklett spinning around its head. Ember's [Speed Boost] triggers. Spe +1! [Turn 7 Start; COMBAT PHASE CONTINUES] The awakened Gyarados launches immediately at Nicaea, its jaws opening wide. As it rushes towards Emm and Nicaea, it gives off a feel as if it could just swallow them up if it wanted to.

The confused Gyarados is still trashing about, slamming its head and body into nearby rocks and also into itself, contorting its serpentine body. The Gyarados fighting Cuddles and Ember is fairly cornered, yet rage still burns in its eyes. It fiercely without any restraint rushes forward, attempting to chomp on Cuddles despite knowing Cuddles could smash through its attack with ease.

Alpha's Revelation Dance (Water type; 21,870 SpA Value) on Larvitar crit: 55,71 no crit It's super effective! Larvitar takes 1,366 damage. [Larvitar is KO'd] Larvitar is blasted back, falling on the ground next to Radovan's feet. Its body is completely tattered, with damage comparable to watter errosion cutting deep slices of its rocky carapace, leaving it scarred all across its body, revealing more of its red scales in a couple of places. The other burst of light hits Sableye from the other side, but Sableye's Detect prevents any damage. The energy simply bursts into brown, dissipating into the air. The while lightshow startles Murki who had to fly out of the way of Alpha's Revelation Dance. In the meantime, Zeta yelps seeing Larvitar's state. "I-I don't know, Murki and I don't fight, we stop fights... Like this one we should stop this one, your Larvitar, Radovan, he's hurt bad!" Kneeling to pick the Pokemon up, Zeta leaves Murki to cover her back. Murki looks back at Zeta and nods as Zeta takes Larvitar into her embrace, getting back up, tears in the corners of her eyes. "Sorry Radovan, we're running! M-Murki, Featherdance!" Instantaneously, Murki flaps her wings, covering the area in black feathers, just as Alpha and Omega land. Radovan, blinded by the feathers, feels a straight blow into his stomach, leaving him out of breath and unable to immediately react as he's picked up by someone smaller than him who starts running with him in tow. Murki's Featherdance Alpha's [Dancer] triggers. Alpha's Featherdance Omega's [Dancer] triggers Omega's Featherdance Alpha and Omega's bodies follow Murki's motions, releasing energy shaped like blue and red feathers respectively, that cover the entire plaza, blinding literally everyone on it. "Foolish girl, are you going to run through the flames!" Omega screams in frustration. "NO, you chose to stay, now witness Uno's revival! In fact, we'll use you as our fuel as well!" A flash or blue bursts across the plaza, coming from its entrance. All the feathers flying around the plaza disappear when hit by the blue light and Radovan can see Omega through the flames that Zeta nearly carried him through. But now Zeta stood in place, turning her head around like a cornered animal, Murki helplessly flapping around her. Omega's right leg is glowing a fierce blue as energy gathers around her. A quake resounds through the plaza as she steps forward with a feral scream. Earth itself splits open before Radovan's eyes before something hard hits his guts from below, slicing them open, sending him flying and bursting into flames. He immediately loses consciousness from the sheer pain, the last thing he hears being Zeta calling his name. Alpha's Precipice Blades... (38,880 Atk Value) [COMBAT PHASE ENDED] ------------------------------------------------------------- #04 DUNGEON SENA *+Rita* An explosion resounds from the plaza, startling everyone around Sena while they discussed. They all turn towards it, seeing a flash of blue light before the entire ground beneath their feet shakes momentarily. "WHAT!?" Betani shouts out in surprise. "Motor, scan!" Rita says, focusing on Motor's display. "Guys a huge burst of energy! I've lost signal from Radovan's A-Comm! Motor can read his and Zeta's life signs though... they're alive." "Still, what the hell happened!?" A wide-eyed Betani turns to Rita for answers, but Rita can only shrug in response. "I can't be sure. It was a ground type attack... incredibly powerful. It... it could probably level the entire town on the surface." "..." Betani looks down to her feet with a frown. "Hey we can't give uuuup! This is all the more reason to rescue them. Sena, Betani, you engage them. I'll send Dolly with you. Find Radovan and Zeta while I contact the others above. I'm sorry I can't fight with you, but Dolly is a pro!" Rita gives a thumbs up to Sena while Dolly nods fiercely. "Right then we'll have to use Frogadier's Smokescreen and your Noibat's Supersonic like you said. If I can land a straight blow at Alpha I might just be able to knock her out. Are you ready, Sena?" [Go save Radovan and Zeta?] 1) Yes 2) No

"Ah, Young Master Yoriie." "I was just enjoying the pleasant day, but what is this? Trouble brewing? More people in our merry band? My my." Appearance: Either a giant tapir-like creature covered with a purple cloak and orange smoke, or a physically strong humanoid with dark gray skin and horns. Bakudai is 2,15 m in height, dressed in a finely-sewn purple kimono. His skin is adorned with orange stripes like a tiger's and his hands can sprout long claws and fur like a tiger's. Chains are tightly wrapped around his neck, arms and between his legs, holding his range of motion bound. The chains connect to his wrists, seemingly growing out of them, bloodied and rusted at the points where they emerge from his flesh, symbolizing the past actions that are now robbing him of his freedom, and the nightmares he'd accumulated within his form. He carries a pipe with him, using it to channel his magic and spread thin sand to put his foes to sleep with.

#04 DUNGEON SENA *+Rita* "Wait are you literally going to ask this Frogadier for advice!? Look if you're gonna be doing nonsense like this I'm better off by myself." Betani crosses her arms, while Frogadier looks at Sena. It watches Sena straight in the eyes for several moments as if weighing his resolve. It too seems unsure on what to do. It probably wants to deal with Alpha but something is making it reconsider... Maybe it too realizes that dealing with Alpha shouldn't be their prime objective. After all, establishing communications with the surface could prove vital. Clenching his hands, Frogadier points at Rita. "Huh me? My plan? HA of course my plan! But look Sena, we can't do both things. Of course Motor can do it on the run, but if we're going after Alpha, we'll also need Motor's enchanced scanners to get direct intel into the situation at the plaza. He can't do everything at the same time. Besides, a short message won't suffice. And telling them to get down here to us would be pointless, wouldn't it?" "Yeah. If we just told them to come down here, what if they got stuck as well? We also don't know if coming to this city is still even possible without Alpha and Omega's approval." Rita and Frogadier nod. "If you trust Frogadier and us, then contacting the surface should be our priority. They need to find Uno and guard the shards. We don't know what's even happening up there, so we need information just as much as they do. If all goes well, maybe one of Alpha or Omega might even be forced to go to the surface and destroy the shards themselves. Then we could strike!" Frogadier smirks, nodding at Sena and nudging his Aether Ball with its forehead. It's absorbed into the ball, which flickers to a green light. [You finally trusted Frogadier] Verna and Frogadier gained 150 Exp Sena earned 50 EP Frogadier is holding [something glistening] Betani tosses Sena a Super Potion. "Here we'll need to be ready. So, guess we won't be attacking right away."

#04 DUNGEON SENA *+Rita* Music: Not only roses have thorns, you know!? No one pursues Sena and Rita as they make their escape. In fact, as soon as they and the last living people from the audience leave the plaza, a ring of fire appears around where Radovan and Zeta are standing, entirely cutting entry to the plaza, both in and out. The faceless people have also been trapped within the ring, meaning they likely couldn't pursue. Alpha and Omega... they didn't mind letting them leave. It just gave them more time to finish whatever they had to do to set the destruction of #04 in motion. Radovan and Zeta would hold them a bit, but not long. As Rita and him turn a corner, she sits down, back to the wall, pulling her Rotom A-Comm. "I'll analyze the data from the two of them while you contact this Betani." A hologram appears on Sena's A-Comm. "YOU ABSOLUTE DORKS THE ENTIRE PLAZA IS ON FIRE YOU'VE TOTALLY RUINED MY SHOT AT ENDING THEIR PITIFUL LITTLE PLAN!" She immediately shouts at you, provoking Rita into standing up. "Ugh shut up it wasn't our fault! It's Sena's idiotic friend!" She says, pulling the A-Comm out of Sena's grasp. You're immediately sorely reminded of how she broke your last A-Comm.............. "Yeah whatever you should've known better than to bring an idiot with you. But Zeta's there with him..." Betani looks to the side, biting her lip. "They likely won't kill them so at least that's good. Anyways turn around I'm right here." The transmission cuts and you turn around to see Betani and Frogadier walking towards you from a nearby alley. Frogadier seems injured, holding one of its hands over its chest, where a big bruise is visible. But its expression is still determined. It won't stop until Alpha and Omega have been defeated. [BETANI & FROGADIER HAVE ENTERED THE SCENE] Music: Girl that walks alone "Ok let's discuss. Whatever bull they sold you is completely untrue. I know my adopted sister and she's been through a lot, but she wouldn't want anyone to die for her selfish benefit. From what I know neither of them are the real Uno, so she's definitely still on the surface. I can't believe I too was so dumb to actually believe for a second that she could've made such a fast recovery even if she was hit by the Tree of Life's attack! Ugh, this is my fault as well for not interfering sooner." Rita interferes. "It's my fault too... I was totally wrong about the Ghost Girl. She can't help me find my mom..." She looks down dejectedly, but Betani ignores it. "Boo hoo, it's up to us now to fix this." She looks up at Sena. "This Pokemon was fighting Alpha on its own when I arrived. Alpha beat it senseless but the two of them wouldn't kill it. They likely need all of the audience here for some reason..." Frogadier seems to avoid looking directly at Sena. Either it's angry or just shy. "It's your Pokemon isn't it? I have my Steenee, I don't want it or need it." She makes a shooing motion towards Sena and Frogadier, walking a bit to the side and closer to Rita. Frogadier doesn't move towards Sena. "They likely can't start this whole twisted plan of theirs without taking care of a couple points on the surface. Mainly the three Shards protecting the island from bad weather. Ever wonder why it's a storm everywhere but on Wailuda here? Yeah that's why. Alpha and Omega have to destroy these Shards before sinking the island. Then they'll have to use some form of fuel or energy to transform Uno's body into something akin to their bodies." "From my analysis, Omega's body is actually similiar in composition to the faceless Baltoy people. She's made from soil and mud." "Right, so they want to do the same to Uno to fix her. But using an entire island's worth of soil... They think she wants that, but they're wrong. At least I hope so. Our options are either try to find a way back to the surface or hold them off here. I don't see your friends so I will assume they're above. Good, they might buy us time." She paces around as she speaks. "So, bright boy, any ideas on what to do? I'm all ears. I vote we swiftly neutralize one of them, leaving the other without their dance partner. Alpha would be the easier target for my Steenee's precise kicks." "I think we could try and contact the surface, tell them what we know! With Motor's help, it might be possible, even if we don't know how far apart we actually are from them..." [Which plan do you support?] 1) Swiftly handle Alpha 2) Try to contact the surface 3) Ask Frogadier?

#04 BEACH CATHODE, EMM, GREG, JOY & JAY Before the reinforcements arrive or anyone else can react, the Gyarados simultaneously bite down on Suzie. However, Cathode's morale boost helps her out. Cathode's [Defender] Suzie's Def goes up +1 All Gyrados' Bite [10,800 Atk Value] on Suzie Gyarados #3 crit: 12,19 no crit flinch: 28,276 Suzie's flinched!

The first bite is enough for Suzie to be stunned from shock. All these sea serpents have already by then gotten an edge on her nerves, so three of them attacking her simultaneously just proved to be too much for the snake to act afterwards. The Gyarados pick the stunned Suzie up all together, throwing her aside into the rocks overlooking the beach. She tumbles into them with a loud sound of crushing rock as her weight smashed into them. And without Suzie, Cathode, Terry, Emm and Nicaea are now painfully exposed... Nicaea shakes her leaves at the Gyarados. Nicaea's Sleep Powder (75% Acc) miss: 94,71 miss However, she misses her target. Meanwhile, Emmanuel throws an Aether Ball at one of the Gyarados but it only shakes one time before breaking apart, and the sleeping Gyarados once again lands into the sandy beach. However, the Aether Ball Cathode throws at the other sleeping Gyarados shakes three times and glows green, signifying a successful capture! [Cathode has caught Gyarados #1!] Cathode earned 10 EP. Suzie earned 100 Exp. Level up! Terry earned 100 Exp. Level up! Nicaea earned 50 Exp. Level up! [GREG, JOY & JAY HAVE JOINED THE SCENE] From the dust left by Suzie's landing onto the rocks, Joy and Mr. Cuddles would feel a tremor beneath their feet as they ran up to a slope above the beach. The rock snake would be lying dazed underneath them as Mr. Cuddles jumped over her, smashing its full body weight into a punch aimed at one of the Gyarados. The Gyarados, not seeing any possibility of a huge ball of fat and fur suddenly flying straight into its face, is left confused and open to a direct hit. Mr. Cuddles's Chip Away (14,373 Atk Value) crit: 31,36 no crit Gyarados #4 takes 128 damage! Mr. Cuddles lands straight in-between the Gyarados's eyes, pushing its head to land into the sand below, what from the Munchlax's weight and the power behind his attack. Jay doubles down on Gyarados #4, the same one knocked to the ground by Mr. Cuddles and Joy, launching Ember straight at it with her beak up front, sticking it into the Gyarados's side. Ember's Peck (5212 Atk Value) on Gyara #4 crit: 92,78 no crit Gyarados #4 takes 45 damage! Greg and his Vulpix arrive running as well, Matilda shooting off a beam of dazzling, desorienting lights from her tail. Matilda'a Confuse Ray on Gyara #3 Gyarados #3 is not confused!

With Gyarados #1 out of commission, Gyarados #2 captured and Gyarados #3 confused, their threat has diminished significantly, but it'd still be a grand task to defeat them all. Gyarados #4, the one that Mr. Cuddles and Ember tag-teamed, raises its head, shaking Mr. Cuddles off it with considerable force, throwing him into the sand below. The Gyarados focuses its attention on the weaker target-Ember, and launches at her with its jaws agape. Even with her boosted speed, however, Ember is still way too slow to outrun this attack. She can only combat it as best she can by deflecting. Gyarados #4's Bite (10,800 Atk Value) on Ember Gyarados #3 looks around and goes after Matilda and Greg, aiming to bite the small fox. Gyarados #3 is confused. confusion: 24,02 It hurt itself in its confusion! Gyarados #3 takes 64 damage! It, however, cannot act normally, instead smashing its head into the sand and rocks below, hurting itself in the process. Gyarados #5, meanwhile, tries to slither away amids all the chaos, slinking towards the far end of the beach and towards the sea. It might re-emerge elsewhere if left to its own devices, and invade the town while the evacuations are still in place.

She pulls at his sleeve, trying to force him to go with them. "Radovan please let's just go! Don't fight them!" Sena and Rita make a break for it, joining the crowd of people that was leaving. However, Zeta and Radovan stay behind. Radovan of his own volition and Zeta while trying to make him run with them. The Baltoy circle around the two of them, closing their escape route. Zeta turns her back on Radovan to observe the situation. There're at least several dozen faceless people around them, all of them likely Baltoy ready to attack them at Alpha and Omega's command. Omega meanwhile laughs. "Radovan your folly has doomed Zeta as well! How selfish of you, to force this upon one of your friends! And to combat the wishes of another of your friends! Now watch our dance as it destroys you and your Pokemon!" She jumps forward into the crowd, spinning violently like a ballerina with each step as she approaches Radovan and Zeta. Alpha follows her lead, jumping down from the building to perform the same dance. As they run and dance, both of their bodies catch fire and the two of them encircle Radovan, Zeta, and the rest of the Baltoy, catching them in a ring of fire that keeps spreading with each moment. Omega's Fiery Dance (19,008 SpA Value) SpA boost: 9,69 SpA up +1 Alpha's [Dancer] triggers. Alpha's Fiery Dance (12,960 SpA Value) SpA boost: 89,35 no SpA boost The ring of fire burns bright and hot and now, as Alpha and Omega have encircled you, they prepare to strike again. Alpha halts her dance abruptly, spinning at her heel to pose with her fan. Mysterious energy envelops her as she jumps up and sends it towards Radovan's Pokemon. Omega does the same, except she hides her face not behind a fan but behind her dress's sleeve. The energy is concentrated into an orb of light which travels at high speed, one going for Larvitar and the other for Sableye. The one targetting Larvitar is coming from the front and the stage, while the one targetting Sableye is coming from behind, from the direction Sena and Rita ran towards out of the plaza. In all this chaos, Radovan is unable to pay attention to his A-Comm. He simply doesn't hear anything over it, even though a hologram of Betani appears momentarily on his display.

#04 TOWN GREG, JOY & JAY INTRODUCTORY POST Music: Spring to action The Nexus Drill lands in one of the plazas at Wailuda Island. You arrived with a handful other Cadets in this vehicle in order to help out the situation at #04. And from the reports, it sounded like a pretty bad situation... Gyarados approaching. Some extremely powerful entity known as the Ghost Girl had been proved to be the kidnapper of the people from #04 during the Festival all along. And now the whole island was in danger of sinking. Situations like these were exactly why Cadets were necessary on all the Nexi. They had to be able to intervene with any unexpected situations. You were sent to do exactly that. Your A-Comms buzz on as you rush out the vehicle and onto the square. It's a woman named Ray, her holographic projection appearing before you. She's a slightly chubby woman with her hair shaved on one side. She's young but she's already one of the main dispatchers for the Space Aether Foundation. "Cadets Johnson, Joy and Kierlain. You know the situation and it's pretty bad. We need to work fast so I'll just tell you what to do. We have Gyarados breaking onto the island from all sides, but their main forces are concentrated on 3 points. We have good coverage on 2 of those points, but the 3rd one could break without reinforcements. Cadets Emmanuel and Granazia were among the first at the scene, as they were involved in fighting the Ghost Girl as well. However, they need your support, Gyarados will be upon them at any moment now! Please hurry over to them. The directions will be on your A-Comms. Ray out." She closes the comm channel while the map of the island pops up on your A-Comm screens. You can reach the beach in a few minutes, but you still need to hurry. Gyarados breaking into the town would cause massive delays in the evacuation process, potentially leading to hundreds of deaths. Hurry. [You can now post your entrances into the #04 BEACH scene with Emmanuel and Cathode. You can attack the Gyarados immediately and you're arriving from the landside, a small road leading down towards the beach, giving you the high ground over the Gyarados on the scene.] -------------------------------------------------- #04 DUNGEON SENA & RADOVAN *+Zeta, Rita, Alpha, Omega*  Omega glanced at Sena with a grin on her face, but she didn't speak. Instead, it was Alpha who addressed him first. "That Frogadier is such a selfish Pokemon. It kept getting in the way, time and time again. But time and time again, alone, it wasn't a match for me." "However, Frogadier too was a part of the audience on that day. It deserves to be here with us. Too bad our sister escaped with it..." Omega still grins. She doesn't seem phased by such a turn of events. "They'll probably try and assist you in stopping us. Knowing poor Betani, she's probably stalking us right now, planning her attack. She's always lacked manners." Alpha nods. Omega then looks at Radovan. "Uno won't die. She'll live on as a utopia for everyone. You know, ever since her body was broken 10 years ago, she always regretted being unable to dance or go out on festivals or do explorations. I have to thank you for giving her a chance to experience all of these things. She is now content with her life. What remains is us. Alpha and Omega, we'll dance as she wills us to. We'll dance and protect her grandest selfish desire!" [α COMBAT PHASE INITIATED Ω] Music: Ruin Ωf TraditiΩn "RADOVAN, HOW RUDE, SIMPLY ATTACKING OUT OF THE BLUE! HAHAHAHAHA!" Omega shouts, a mad grin on her face, as Larvitar and Sableye's attacks tear through the bodies of faceless crowd members, ripping their mud bodies apart. Each one Radovan's Pokemon beat down bursts into pink light, which flows upwards. The crowd members with faces start screaming and running away, while the faceless ones all turn towards Radovan, Sena, Rita and Zeta. On the stage, you can see Omega place one leg in front of the other, crossing her arms at the chest before spinning and spreading them apart. Looking back behind you, you can see Alpha mirroring her dance. Omega's Swords Dance Omega's Atk went up 2 stages. Alpha's [Dancer] triggers Alpha's Swords Dance Alpha's Atk went up 2 stages. After finishing the short dance, Alpha jumps up into a backflip so high, it lands her on top of a building circling the plaza. As she moved away from the entrance to the plaza, the crowd began running away through the exit, passing you by on their way running for their lives. "..." Alpha gazes at you from the top of the building. The apartment building is 3 stories tall, around 10 meters in height, so she's 10 meters above you. As she gazes down upon you, she spreads her arms, pulling out her fan. Her moves are precise as she performs a short dance similiar to what you'd see on a #04 stage play, hiding her face behind the fan. Omega mirrors her movements. Alpha's Quiver Dance Alpha's SpA, SpD and Spe went up 1 stage. Omega's [Dancer] triggers Omega's Quiver Dance Omega's SpA, SpD and Spe went up 1 stage. "You cannot beat us! Go, Baltoy, encircle them! We'll rebuild you anew, your loved ones await!" Omega declares from the stage, as confetti suddenly burst in a celebratory act, showering the stage and plaza in colorful paper scraps. As if on que, several faceless audience members burst into bodies of Baltoy, spinning violently around you. There're 3 of them for now and you won't be able to reach Alpha nor Omega without destroying them first. "Akh, Radovan, you idiot! Like, we could've PLANNED something instead of just attacking, right??? There's so many faceless people here, and if they're all Baltoy... Sena, let's bust a way out of this plaza! We can still run if we act now!" "Hahahahaha! Run if you want! I can assure you neither Alpha nor I will attack while there're still any of Uno's audience around. Actually..." She swings her hand and the 3 Baltoy circling around you suddenly stop. They move to clear you a path outside the plaza. "Whoever wishes to run can run. That just gives us more time to perform what we must." "Sena let's go! We have to find Frogadier! It could be hurt from its fight with these crazies!" "Radovan we can't beat them all, let's go!" Zeta says, pulling out her own Aether Ball. "Murki please help us!" She presses on it, opening it and letting the crow Pokemon fly around her. Murki's confused for a moment but quickly notices the danger. "Murki can cover our escape in case they're lying." Zeta says, determination in her eyes. "Her Featherdance can help us." Omega grins at the mentioned move. [What will you do?] 1) Stay and fight 2) Run and regroup

#04 BEACH CATHODE & EMM Before Suzie can brace, the Gyarados grabs hold of her rock body with its massive jaw, biting hard, almost to the point of breaking through her rock exterior. Gyarados #01's Bite (10,800 Atk Value) on Suzie -crit: 32,9 no crit -flinch: 52 no flinch Suzie takes 24 damage. Luckily, the Bite isn't enough to catch Suzie off guard, but it is enough to grab hold of her and shake her body, forcing Cathode, Emmanuel and their Pokemon off Suzie's back. Suzie's Curse Suzie's Atk and Def went up 1 stage. Her Spe went down 1 stage. Meanwhile, Emmanuel and Nicaea are quick to act on the fleeing Gyarados. Nicaea spreads her powder, cathing the Gyarados in a dust cloud. Nicaea's Sleep Powder (75% Acc) -miss: 7,32 no miss Gyarados #2 fell asleep. Before falling off of Suzie, Cathode busted out her Sporespray and sprayed some of it straight into Gyarados's face. She fell off of Suzie afterwards but the spray would take effect. Cathode's Sporespray (75% Acc) -miss 40,87 no miss Gyarados #1 fell asleep. The giant sea serpent, now asleep, lets go of Suzie, who lands in between Cathode and Gyarados #1, who fell into the sand, snoozing. "Guys great job! The Gyarados are asleep, but still, there're more incoming! But they're not the only ones incoming! I've sent two Cadets in your direction. They'll provide you support!" [Turn 4 End] Gyarados #3, #4 and #5 have joined the fight. They seem different... Gyarados #3's, #4's and #5's [Intimidate] Nicaea, Suzie and Terry's Atk drops by 3 stages.

She made our children out of soil and mud! They were, they were just like our little son and daughter... but you destroyed them! I'd gladly let the island sink for my children!" The mother screams but doesn't physically resist when Radovan approaches her. It's like she's given up; she just lets him apprehend her. Zeta has, in the meantime, gotten up from the father's chest as Radovan'd taken care of him. She runs up to Sena to check on him together with Rita. "It's gonna leave a bruise. Good thing he hadn't whacked you on the nose, so at least there's nothing broken." Rita smiles at Sena, dusting the back of his shirt off. "Right you're all done now, so let's move on! We should just leave these two here for now. They'll just be a nuisance otherwise." [You leave the parents tied to the swingset and continue on towards the pink glow] The town's scenery doesn't change much as you walk. It's mostly old-fashioned apartment buildings and tiled roads, parks on one side. There're some people in the parks around you but you can't make out whether they're faceless or not, and you have to continue on towards the pink glow. It's growing nearer by the minute when suddenly, the tranquil silence of the drowned city is broken by a familiar voice echoing through the streets. "Everyone, please gather at the stage! The stage performance of the 'Tragic Tale of a Girl who Danced with Gyarados' by the beautiful Utopia is about to begin!" It's Uno's voice. Or it could be Alpha's, honestly. But one thing's for sure-the moment this voice echoed through the streets, a lot of people from the parks and some exiting the buildings around you all stepped out onto the street, and a busy murmur filled the air around you. People. Faceless fakes. There're all of them around you, but they pay you no heed as they excitedly hurry onward towards the pink glow. So that must be the aforementioned stage. You hurry towards the stage. There seems to be an entrance to some sort of plaza at the end of this street. Pushing people around you to get there, soon you find yourselves... The audible flick of a dozen stage lights pointed at you all at once forces you to close your eyes and cover them with your arms. You can hear a crowd cheering around you as music beats down on your eardrums from what you can assume to be ludspeakers set very close to you on both sides. The stage lights move from you to focus on something else on the stage, so you slowly begin to open your eyes. Music: Stage from the past "But sir mister... Gyarados... are they not known for their unpredictable and feral nature?" Uno's voice is dramatic. You can nearly picture her spreading her arms on the stage as she says the line, even before opening your eyes. Once you do open your eyes. That's exactly what she's doing. Her and Alpha seem to be involved in a dialogue. "The tradition has nearly been lost of the years. We must keep it alive for future generations to see! Do not fear, you will dance with my personal Gyrados. There's no chance they'll grow mad." "..." "SET THE STAGE!" Alpha shouts dramatically, turning towards the audience. She's acting in a deep male tone. All the lights on the stage flash at Alpha, then at Uno and then at you. Alpha disappears into the darkness as the stage lights turn off above her, leaving only your and Uno on the stage. Uno turns towards you, acting a frightened face. "N-no, I refuse to follow tradition. I- this is dangerous. What if something goes wrong? I cannot. I will fight tradition, and these Gyarados." Her face turns confident as she looks at you. "I have lost my body in that 'accident'. Because of that 'tradition'." "And it was all your fault for not objecting." Alpha appears behind your backs from the backstage. "Yes. I was weak. But I'm not anymore. You're me from the past, so I am free of that. This new body of mine... I won't let it break down like my last. I have been given another chance, so I will reinforce my body. Protect it. It is only soil, so I will take all the soil in this Nexus to forge a body that will last forever in its ability to dance! And to bring back everyone who died!" You notice a pink light emanating from the crowd. It's gathering around Uno and then emanating outwards, like some form of powerful energy. Uno's skin begins to crack, revealing the same light within her body. She is enveloped in light and when the light disperses, in front of you stands a new Uno. "I." "Am." "Omega! The ruin of tradition!" "By Uno's wish, this new body will serve you well." Alpha too is glowing pink. "I am stirring the waters above. As soon as we destroy the shards protecting the island, my tidal waves will sink it and it will be all Uno's to rebuild everyone's happiness." The crowd is cheering. Alpha stands behind you while Omega in front of you. Omega looks you straight in the eyes. "I am saddened by the fact only you've decided to join us here... Emmanuel... Cathode... it was nice while it lasted. But you've turned your backs on Uno, so we will sink you as well." She truly appears sad as she says that. Like there is no other way to resolve this. And the way she talks about Uno in third person... "Rita, Sena. You've lost so much, so come to me on this stage." She extends a hand to you. "We will come call for your parents together." You hear Rita gulp down. But it's Zeta who speaks first. "Stop it, Uno! You're hurting those Pokemon!" She shouts at the eerie woman. "They're not just dolls for you to reshape! And this energy, it's the same as back in Crystal Forest... You're full of life. This life.... why're you using it to bring pain and death!?" "Why? Isn't it only fair for Uno to wish something selfish for her for once? We must ensure her frail body never breaks again. She's above, waiting to sink with the island, so she could become the island. We, Alpha and Omega, are merely her past and future. I am sorry, but I know you better than Uno. I am her future, after all. And I know you of all people are very hypocritical to claim such things against Uno." Zeta steps back, confusion apparent on her face. "Now, I believe you've come to stop Uno even if it means not being able to see your parents again. You're righteous like that, after all. But. Alpha and I won't let that happen." "Tell us then; what will it be?" [What will you do?]

Their eyes gleaming pink like Meggie's back in #08, they slither through the sand, breaking through any beach equipment left there overnight. Their gazes are locked at the two Cadets as they roar. "Guys, transmission from across the island! Gyarados have emerged everywhere and Cadets have been deployed to fight them, but after having been beaten up by the Ghost Girl, they can't put up much of a fight. We'll be counting on reinforcements, they should be arriving soon!" "Three more Gyarados inbound. They'll be here super soon!" [Turn 3 End] Gyarados #1 and Gyarados #2 have joined the fight.

Rita shouts at Sena, but the boy'd already walked straight through the field towards the parents. "Ugh that idiot, the Baltoy! Watch out for the Baltoy!" The parents cry, obviously in panic as Sena speaks to them. However, Sena wasn't paying attention, or had plainly been too brave in his action, as to get to the parents, he'd approached the Baltoy as well. Finding himself surrounded by the two spinning top Pokemon, Sena would realize his mistake, as they begun circling around him and the parents. Fortunately, Radovan is on the offensive, as Sableye's shadow envelops one Baltoy from behind as it circles around Sena. Sableye also continues running towards the scene as this occurs. Sableye's Shadow Sneak (7158 Atk Value) on Baltoy #2 crit: 13,75 no crit It's super effective! Baltoy #02 takes 460 damage! Baltoy #02 has fainted. The shadow grabs hold of Baltoy, countering its spinning trajectory. The mud doll's body starts to crumble under the pressure, before snapping in several places, releasing bright pink light that reminds you of what Verna was pointing towards, and, more importantly, of the petrifying Pokemon back in #08. Larvitar gained 100 Exp [Larvitar leveled up to 15!] Sableye gained 60 Exp [Sableye leveled up to 24!] Verna gained 80 Exp [Verna leveled up to 17!] The Baltoy is reduced to mud, leaving the other Baltoy to stop spinning, looking towards where its brother was destroyed. The mother's scream pierces your ears as the father throws himself at Sena, punching him in the face and throwing him down to the floor. Meanwhile, with the other Baltoy stuped by this event, Larvitar can easily run up to it and slam close its jaws on its head. Larvitar's Bite (8176 Atk Value) on Baltoy #1 crit: 78,41 no crit It's super effective! Baltoy #1 takes 240 damage! Baltoy #1 has fainted. Larvitar gained 80 Exp [Larvitar leveled up to 16!] Sableye gained 60 Exp Verna gained 80 Exp [Verna leveled up to 18!] The Baltoy's head splits open and bursts into pink light much like the other Baltoy's body did. The father is now running towards Radovan, but Zeta intercepts him and, throwing her arms around his waist, tackles him down to the floor with her full body force. A girl that could wrestle a Gabite could very easily wrestle down a grown man as well, apparently. "Please! This, this aren't your children!" She says to the man, holding his arms down. Her eyes have teared up as well. She turns to Radovan. "But they didn't have to be... destroyed. I don't think there was a different way but... it shouldn't have come to this... The glow reminds me of back in the Crystal Forest! This is somehow connected, so these Pokemon were likely in a lot of pain as well, being reshaped to be something they weren't. If they even were real Pokemon..." "Sena!" Rita runs up to Sena to help him out. With the Gravity off, Dolly can once again float around her. "And you, lady, stay down!" She says to the mother, who was just about to stand up with an expression that can only be described as vicious. Rita points her A-Comm at her and Motor's holographic face pops on screen, frowning at the lady. "Radovan, apprehend them!" [COMBAT PHASE FINISHED] Sena gains 10 EP. Radovan gains 20 EP.

#04 BEACH CATHODE & EMM "Guys, reading even stronger Magikarp approaching. They'll be here in 3... 2... 1!" And as if on Ray's que, three Magikarp jump out of the water and start splashing around you, like some sort of really weird tribal dance. There's a pink glint in their eyes and their expressions feel somewhat more enraged than the previous batch you just beat up. Additionally, their movements... they're more aggressive, as stupid as that sounds talking about Magikarp. They look as though they feel strong enough to take you down, even though any sensible human and Pokemon can guess how this battle will go. [Turn 2 End] Magikarp #6, #7 and #8 have joined the fight. [Turn 3 Start; COMBAT PHASE CONTINUES] All 3 Magikarp erratically jump straight towards Emmanuel and Cathode themselves, aiming to tackle them off Suzie's back. Since they've been circling around you, their attacks come from 3 sides, 1 from your backs (Magikarp #6), and two from your front. The Magikarp don't seem to care if they slam straight into Suzie in their attempts. They're out for blood.

The parents put their hands over their ears and scream, their voices muffled by the screech, while the Baltoy start spinning frantically, lunging at Verna and Larvitar. Larvitar's Bite (8002 Atk Value) on Baltoy #2 [Turn 1 End] [Turn 2 Start; COMBAT PHASE CONTINUES] The Baltoy, seeing Larvitar running towards it, stops in its tracks. Its body is enveloped in an earthen glow as it points its arms at Larvitar, rocks sprouting from beneath it, trying to grab its body and stop it in its tracks. Baltoy #2's Rock Tomb (5001 Atk Value) deflecting Larvitar's Bite (8002 Atk Value) Rock Tomb's Atk Value becomes 0 Bite's Atk Value becomes 3002 Larvitar easily breaks through the rocks, continuing to run towards Baltoy. "Good job, you Sena's friend you, whatever your name! It couldn't use its Zen Headbutt attack against your Larvitar's Bite as its Psychic type energy matches poorly against your Dark type energy, forcing it to use its weaker attack! Now to strike it down! Wha-" However, as Larvitar jumps towards the floating Pokemon, suddenly, a force brings it back to the ground. Baltoy #1's Gravity Larvitar's pinned to the ground, its attack stopped dead in its tracks. However, both Baltoy also stop floating, and instead start spinning around on the ground. Verna cannot fly anymore either, severely hampering her field control capabilities. "Ahh noo, with Gravity active, what the heck can Dolly even do!" Rita exclaims forcing herself to stand and nervously tiptoe in place, her Shuppet basically like a smushed limp doll in her arms. Sena and Radovan too feel their bodies growing heavy. The Gravity move is making it difficult to stand up. Verna, now being forced to fight grounded, cannot act as fast as usual. [Gravity is intense!

Our children, they're- they're fine, nothing ever happened to them, do you hear me!?" The father threateningly points at Sena with his finger, but his body language betrays his fear. He was lying. They both were. Music: Grasping for Air (Intense) The children are still crying, regardless of however their parents hug them or grasp them. Suddenly, you see the children's bodies contorting and convulsing in their mother's embrace, their limbs and heads spinning violently as their bodies slowly began floating a foot above the ground.

You're shocked to see that, as the two new Magikarp jump out of the sea and start hopping on the beach sand, that an odd pinkish light begins emanating from the ocean. The three Magikarp you've been fighting start glowing pink too, but only for a couple seconds. "The Magikarp have gone up a level? That's so weird, are you feeding them anything?" [Turn 1 End] Magikarp #1, #2 and #3 have leveled up and learned Tackle. Magikarp #4 and #5 have joined the fight. Magikarp #3 loses 5 HP from the Bind. [Turn 2 Start; COMBAT PHASE CONTINUES] Music: Magikarp's Festival The newly empowered Magikarp all jump at Nicaea, attempting to tackle her from all sides. The only one not using tackle is the Magikarp bound by Suzie, which seems to only be crying and flapping its tail fin helplessly.

You doubt they can actually talk anyways. They follow Verna with their blank faces. However, their parents glare daggers at Rita and Sena, even Zeta. "Why'd she run off from our kids, it's not like they have Pokemon rabies!" The mom yells. "And who're you to call our kids creepy!?" Adds in the dad. "Stop insulting our kids and go back where you came from! Leave us alone. We're finally all together again." The mom and dad pick their kids up and carry them away from you. They glare at you expecting you to turn around as they place their kids back on their swings. "Sheesh it's like they don't see their kids are creepy and ugly and faceless." Rita pouts, putting her hands on her hips. "Look now you've made my daughter cry! Just leave!" The dad yells, obviously upset. The faceless girl is simply rubbing the backs of her hands against her face. Since there're no eyes, there're also no tears. Also, Verna lets out a cry to make Sena and Radovan look up at her. She's pointing in the direction of a path you'd have to walk through the playground with the swings to reach. You notice a pink flash of light from there. [What do you do?] 1) Return the way you came from 2) Insist on going in the direction Verna's pointing at, passing awfully close by the family

#04 BEACH *+Zeta, Rita* Sena runs off after Frogadier. Stepping into the water, he sinks and disappears from the others' sight. Rita gulps down. "Here goes nothing!" She runs off after Sena, sinking after a single step as well. Before she did so, she took a deep breath of air and shut her eyes tight. Radovan follows them. "I'll go too!" Zeta suddenly says before running off after Sena and Radovan. [Sena, Radovan, Zeta and Rita have left the scene] Emmanuel and Cathode stay behind. Music: Spring to Action Your A-Comms buzz on. It's Ray. "Emmanuel, Cathode, we've lost track of the Ghost Girl, Sena, Radovan, Zeta and Rita." She informs you. "They've somehow left the Nexus, or something similar. Either way, it's up to them to handle the situation wherever they are now, while you take care of #04. The Chief's reviewed the information available and has sent for reinforcement Cadets to evacuate the island, at least until the imminent danger has been taken care of. Your job is to intervene if necessa- Wait! Emmanuel, Cathode, there're Pokemon signatures approaching you fast from the sea! They're... Magikarp!?" [COMBAT PHASE INITIATED] Music: Magikarp's Festival Three Magikarp jump out of the sea, landing in a triangle formation around Emm and Cathode. They flap furiously, splashing helplessly but seemingly eager for a fight. "There're more Magikarp approaching fast! You need to dispatch of this group and leave the area, or you'll be swarmed!" Ray's voice alerts you of the impending danger of these weak, helpless fish. Their numbers were their strongest suit, so they could actually pose real danger unless you fight them. Magikarp #1's Splash -but nothing happened- Magikarp #2's Splash -but nothing happened- Magikarp #3's Splash -but nothing happened- "There're 2 more Magikarp approaching. They'll be here soon!"

As much as the water's surface reflected the stars, being submerged left Sena in the dark. He finds himself unable to breathe, only salty water filling his mouth and lungs. He continues sinking fast, and as all hope of survival feels lost, he notices light emanating from below him. Be it a mirage caused by hypoxia or a real source of light, he would soon find out... Music: Drowned City and Breathless Audience Sena lands softly in what appears to be a water fountain in the middle of a submerged town square. Except, there's air to breathe. He coughs out the water he'd swallowed and breathes deeply. Having air to breathe again was a relief. He looks around; the buildings and roads look old-fashioned. Above him, he notices the reason why he initially thought the place was underwater; it was actually withing a big glass dome, like an aquarium of sorts. The water from above reflected light in such a manner that it gave the illusion everything was submerged. He can't tell what the source of the light is, however. Soon, Rita, Radovan and Zeta also appear. Actually, now that he could see the act in person, they all seemed to pop down from a small opening in the middle of the dome, right above the fountain. However, they fell slowly, as if through water, and not air. They land next to him in the fountain. "Phew bleh this was soooooo scary!" Rita says, breathing deeply with a huge relieved smile on her face. "I-I was nearly out of breath." Zeta places a hand over her lips, feeling her warm breath with the tips of her fingers. She seems more confused by the experience than scared. "What's this place, anyways? We don't seem to have signal to the surface, even with Motor's enchanced sensors. Seems like we're on our own." Rita comments. "Is no one else really coming?" Zeta adds before noticing a shadow move, turning around the corner of a building. "Ah! A person, let's go!" Before you can stop her, she runs off towards whatever it was that rounded the corner. "Hey hey don't rush!" Rita complains, running after her. [You follow, to make sure Zeta is okay] --- You round the corner. Even before you did, you could hear the sounds of a children's playground swings. And indeed, two kids seem to be playing on a set of swings, with their mother sitting on a bench nearby, watching over them with a smile on her face. A man sits next to her, equally focused on the children and equally elated. It'd surely be a charming scene in any other case, but there was one big issue... "T-their faces!" Zeta yelps, running up to Radovan and hugging him, hiding behind him. "They have no...faces." Rita gulps down. The children laugh without any lips. However, as Zeta yelps, they turn their heads in your direction. There're no visible eyes, nose or mouth on their faces. One is a boy and the other a girl. They can't be over 5 or 6 years old. [What do you do?]

#04 BEACH *+Zeta, Rita* Frogadier breaks out of Sena's Aether Ball after hearing the boy'd proclamation. It looks Sena in the eye, angry, and runs off into the sea, following Alpha and Uno. Rita turns towards him and frowns, picking Motor in its A-Comm forme up. "Sena, there are innocent kidnapped people there! Most likely. I'll be following them for sure, if not just to stop them, then to save the others too." [Sena lost access to Frogadier during combat] [Will Sena follow Frogadier into the starry sea?] 1) Yes 2) No

#04 OUTSKIRTS - The crushed stairway *+Zeta, Rita* Music: Spring to Action "Roger that, Cadet Emmanuel." Ray salutes you over the A-Comm with a big smile on her face before the holographic display turns off. Moments later it switches back on with a flustered Ray on display. "W-wait did you say Rita has her Rotom with her? AHHH we're not getting any readings on her handcuffs either-" The trasmission is suddenly cut off and Rita's pouting on the side. "Fiiiine, I won't jam her." She says, waving a hand over her throat towards Motor to signal it to cut the jamming. Once Ray's back on line, Rita's the one to approach Emm's Comm. "Look, I'll let you grab data from Motor while he's chasing the Ghost Girl. This will give you visuals and better scanning capabilities, right? So just cut me loose for now pretty please~" She grins innocently. Ray's confused but sighs. "R-right, f-for now. I need some training in negotiations.... A-anyways, I'll call the other Cadets in town. And I'll be rerouting data from M-motor to all your A-Comms too." She logs off while a new display appears on your A-Comms which you can use to keep active track on Alpha. She's heading towards the sea, as suspected. [You send Frogadier, Motor, and potentially Woobat to chase Alpha] Meanwhile, as you follow them as well, Rita turns to Emm. "See, the Ghost Gi- I mean Alpha, I've been researching the disappearances after talk of her reached my Academy. I ran to #04 to follow my leads and what I've found out is she's kidnapping people with connections to the Acquarium incident 10 years ago. Long story short, some Gyarados cut loose during the festival 10 years ago. The festival that's running right now, actually. There's no records on how these Gyarados appeared and witness accounts have been unreliable, probably due to shock. Many people lost their families then and it was a pretty big commotion with a whole bunch of people present. It's...quite possible most, if not all, that actually witnessed the appearance of the Gyrados have been killed first in the incident, as they were the closest. All I remember is my mother's cold hand sticking out from under the rubb... I-I'm sorry, we need to focus. I was far too young then to be a reliable witness, my accounts mean nothing to me now. We've gotta investigate retroactively, and for that, we need Alpha. And your friend. Uno, was it? She's definitely connected to the incident. Alpha mentioned something like dancing with Gyarados. I've had no time to properly investigate, but Motor ran some background checks in the meantime while we ran, and it seems it's like some tradition or something. Ancient though. One of the lost texts that predate Space Aether's era. Apparently people did it way back then on these festivals, but there's, again, no records of such rituals being performed on Wailuda. It's all a big mystery you see, and I love a big mystery!" She smiles, apparently very excitedly. Also seems like she's been running investigations even as you all spoke and before meeting up with the whole party. Like how she was ready to escape and meet up with her Pokemon, this girl plans for most possible turns of events, either out of curiosity and inquisitivness or something else. Either way, she's quite a handful. "I-if Uno's with Alpha, then where's Betani?" Zeta calls out, running next to Radovan. "They ran off together, so what if something happened to her?" [Checking your A-Comm, you can't seem to pinpoint Betani's A-Comm anywhere on Wailuda. She's either not in the Nexus or has somehow gone incognito, which isn't easy to do.] "Hmm, I've had no issue going rogue but she doesn't have an awesome Rotom A-Comm like I do! D-does she??" Rita pulls at Sena's sleeve, demanding an answer. "So she's gone? Did she go back home?" Ray buzzes in. "There are several Cadet groups chasing Alpha. We've authorised use of Pokemon and they're already clashing! We're reading battle status but it doesn't seem to be going well. At best they'll just slow her down, but that might allow you to catch up before she escapes like every night! Oh, and Betani's not in #00 either. I've just ran checks and she's not in any of the Nexus. Her Comm must be malfunctioning or something, like when Sena's was broken. I don't know of any other reason she'd be off grid... I'll alert the Chief. Same thing happened with his son, if you remember. Sey's his name. Actually....same thing's happened to everyone kidnapped by Alpha! They must have all been taken somewhere where we can't locate them by her! Or, well, probab-" "Excellent observation, phone lady, but we need more than just guesses, so leave this to the pros, and that's me. Yeah Alpha's definitely got them off grid so we couldn't track them. She must be using some mumbo jumbo to keep them hidden, cause she's like, totally a grandma. Doesn't look like she's good with gadgets. Trust me, I'm a leader of academy's number 1 ghost club!" Her Shuppet nods in confirmation. You follow the directions on your A-Comm. The Pokemon you sent are about to make contact with Alpha! "Great, Motor!" Rita grabs hold of Sena's A-Comm to contact her Rotom. "Your job's to slow her down, not get beat up by her, so be careful!" "Guys we're reading battle data between your Pokemon and Alpha! They're fighting on the beach! You'll reach them soon enough, they've just gotta hold on!" As you run through the town, you pass by several Cadets. Even the ones from yesterday, the rude duo, that is. "S-she was totally unphased by all of my Plusle's Thunder Shocks-" Cries the taller, skinnier one, cradling a Plusle that appears to be sleeping. "Had to use Rest after she used some big blue powerful ray thing attack!" "Right right. But my Venipede's Poison Tail actually seemed to hurt her. Her damage was all gone the next turn though..." "Of course you couldn't do it right and now they're gonna steal our glory again!" He sniffles. "Gramma's gonna be so disappointed when I come back home-" [You leave them to their woeful lives and continue on] "AH, guys, your Pokemon can't hold on much longer!" "We're right there, just a little more-" The transmission from Motor's A-Comm cuts off as you step foot on the beach. Your displays read its HP as 0, while Alpha is still at maximum health. She seems to have trapped Frogadier between those spikes that she used against Sena yesterday. Frogadier was trapped between them, unable to break them apart, leaving Alpha ready to escape. She's already next to the water, while you've only broken onto the beach. She'd reach the sea before you'd have the time to reach her- Something's wrong though. Uno. She's standing next to her, her silhuette darkened as the moon shines from behind her. Music: Isolation "Alpha, will you let them follow us? I want them... I want them to be safe with us." She says to Alpha. "If you so wish, I have no qualms." Uno smiles gently. "Thank you very much. Now, let's go." The two of them turn from you and walk into the water until you can no longer see their heads. Uno's words echo in your heads. /Alpha, will you let them follow us?/ You will most likely be gives safe passage by Uno's request, so if you follow them, you might be able to reach wherever it is that they've been taking people to. However, you might be denied passage if you bring anyone not currently there with you, at which point... Wailuda might sink, if what Alpha said was true. [Will you walk into the starry sea?] 1) Yes 2) No

The bat descends unexpectedly, deafening Alpha and forcing her to clench her head in pain. "You two..." She grit her teeth. "The audience will have to be smaller than expected..." Grabbing Uno, Alpha jumped through the wall to the side of the building, breaking through it with ease as she ran down the hill and out of Sena and Rita's sight. Frogadier earned 100 Exp and 10 EP. Verna earned 100 Exp and 10 EP. "Sena, she's running away with your friend! What a coward!" Rita said as she started running out of the building, pulling Sena along with herself. "I have her pinned with Motor's scanner though, so she can't escape us so long as she's still in #04! But first let's meet up with your friends." The two of you start running down the hill and towards where Motor's display said the rest of the party was. [COMBAT PHASE FINISHED] [Sena's bond with Rita has leveled up to ☆☆☆!] -Leader can now use Rotom A-Comm Enchanced Scanner- -With an upgraded, or well, overclocked scanner of Rotom (A-Comm), scans the enemies for all their usable moves at start of combat.- Soon, you catch up with the rest of the party... ------------------------------------------ #04 OUTSKIRTS - The crushed stairway *+Zeta* As you're running up the path leading to the Acquarium, you suddenly see several beams of light cutting through the sides of the building at the top of the hill. Concluding that must be the fight between Sena and the Ghost Girl, you hurry your step, however, soon enough, you see a blue silhuette jump through the weakened walls of the Acquarium and start running down the hill towards the town and the seaside. The silhuette is relatively far off so you can't reach it in time, you can only follow it if you so desire. Your A-Comms buzz on. It's Ray. "Guys Sena's back on radar! He's- he's still at the Acquarium, running down towards you. Thank goodness, he's not with the Ghost Girl's signature. Meet up with him and pursue, this might be our last chance to capture her-!" You meet up with Sena and Rita, who has apparently been freed from her restraints and also had her Rotom and Shuppet back with her again. And at Sena's side, there was a Frogadier. "GUYS GUYS I'M LIKE SUPER SORRY BUT SEE THE GHOST GIRL'S EVIL AND WE'VE GOTTA HURRY STOP HER, SHE'S GOT YOUR TALL BLUE HAIRED FRIEND LADY!" [Do you do anything before running off towards where your A-Comms display the Ghost Girl's position?]

SENA #04 OLD ACQUARIUM *+Rita, Ghost Girl* Music: Foundαtion of Trαdition ------------------------------------------------------------------- "Not killing. Changing. As the deaths of many 10 years ago for the cause of a mere spectacle laid the foundations for this land's attractions to further prosper, thus will my actions yield change. My purpose is Uno's wish, and my cause is revolution. As an Omega, I will destroy, and as an Alpha, I will create anew." She spoke as she continued walking towards Sena. As she did, her expression grew angrier, more feral. She didn't like what he was saying. "I am the Core of this world. As such, by extension, it is Uno's to wield. Who are you to speak in her name, the one whose body and soul was torn from her and formed anew within me!? I am her desire. Her desire to dance!" She stopped mere inches from Sena, a towering figure he had to look up to face. He could no longer see Rita, as his entire vision was obstructed by Ghost Girl's body. "Now yield to your desire and form her audience. She and I shall be merged and seal the fate of this wretched world that destroyed her. Be glad, as you will be spared." Reaching out with an arm, she grabbed Sena by his collar and lifted him up with ease. She turned, with him in her grasp, towards where Rita'd been standing moments before. However, she was gone. "You're not what I thought. You're not a ghost. You can't help me talk to my mom. Only Dolly can help me. I was looking for the answer in the wrong place this whole time." You hear a voice, however, you cannot pinpoint the direction it's coming from. It seemingly echoes from all across the Acquarium, as if someone was using a loudspeaker. The Ghost Girl seems equally confused, looking around frantically. As she looks up, Rita suddenly falls onto her face, grabbing it with both her arms and legs, like some sort of face sucking alien creature. "Let Sena go, you fake! He's MY subordinate, he's not yours to order around!" She punches and kicks like a child throwing a tantrum. However, it works, as Sena feels the Ghost Girl's grip on him loosening. He falls to his feet and finds the muddied Frogadier standing ready by his side. In the meantime, Dolly and Motor have begun circling the Ghost Girl. The Shuppet fires a couple wisps of flame at the Ghost Girl, which envelop her body as Rita's still kicking at her face. The Ghost Girl's thrashing about and Rita seems to be having a hard time remaining on top of her. After a couple moments, Rita's sent flying down and crashes with her back into Sena, pushing them both to the ground. Frogadier, Dolly and Motor all stand in between you and the Ghost Girl, whose body and clothes seem to have suffered some minor burns, but harsh enough to weaken her physically, at least temporarily. She pants, losing her dancing stance. "You will deny my request too? So be it. I will still take you-" As fast as lightning, she jumps back, covering a distance of at least 10 meters with her leap. She lands on the stage, next to Uno's body, and raises her hands up. Several glowing blue orbs of water form around her extended hands in a circle. "My name is Alpha. Now suffer the wrath of the Primordial Sea." The orbs of light burst into beams of blue light, converging into a single point where you're standing, ravaging the concrete walls and floor in their way like a canyon against a powerful stream of water. You have but moments to react. Your Pokemon will likely take the brunt of the attack, however, they're likely to be knocked out cold. [Now that the jamming has halted, Sena can read the statistics of Alpha's attack...] Alpha's ??? (17,820 SpA value) -miss: 85 no miss -crit: 89,05 no crit According to this data, Frogadier should be able to endure the blow. You can also deflect the blow partially using your own special based moves. "That looks like a huge yowie, Motor, Thunder Shock quick!!!" Motor quickly shoots a bolt of lightning that converges in the path of Alpha's attack. Motor's Thunder Shock (4752 SpA value) -deflecting Alpha's ??? Alpha's ??? is reduced to 13,068 SpA value Motor's Thunder Shock is reduced to 0 SpA value The bolt of lightning disperses almost immediately upon hitting the beams of light.

SENA #04 OLD ACQUARIUM *+Rita, Ghost Girl* Music: Foundαtion of Trαdition ------------------------------------------------------------------- "I'm the one here trying to remove the pain. You're the one drowning, y-you idiot!" Rita spoke and she looked just about ready to open her mouth when Sena ordered Frogadier to spread the mud using his Water Pulse. Frogadier's Water Pulse (10,003 SpA Value) -no target- The ring of water burst upon contact with the mud, causing a massive upwards explosion of mud that covered Frogadier, Motor and Rita. Rita slipped on it, falling over, while Motor had to shake it off its A-Comm body before its holographic face appeared once again, glancing around at where Rita was. Both Rita and the Ghost Girl turned towards Sena when he started asking about reviving the dead. "You misunderstand, I am doing this precisely out of my simpathy. I- Uno- too lost everything on that day. I was born from her desire to gain it back and I am doing precisely that. The deaths that lay the foundation of this land will once again witness her dance with the Gyarados, and be reunited with their loved ones, born from the much which forms this island. Wailuda will drown, but all who seek a change, who wish to look forward, will be reborn in this revolution-" Your eyes drift over to the unconcious Uno. However, without giving Sena or Rita a moment to reply, the Ghost Girl smashes her heel into the concrete again, sending a shockwave through the are where Frogadier was stuck in. The already loose soil gave way as the ground beneath Frogadier's legs sank deeper and deeper, trapping the Pokemon's entire body aside from its head. "I do not wish to harm your Pokemon; I only need to get it out of the way while I pick you up. As Uno wishes-" Turning to Sena, she starts walking towards him, slowly. Frogadier can't move from the hole now that the mud has him trapped, and Verna's attacks could hardly defeat the Ghost Girl... "T-the island will sink?" Rita gulps down as she stands back up. She walks over to the hole where Frogadier was stuck and looks over the edge at the trapped frog Pokemon. She then looks at Sena, a bit of hesitation apparent in her eyes. Would this be the end to this fight? TURN END ---------------------------------------- [BATTLE PHASE CONTINUES] Frogadier is trapped in an even deeper muddy hole. Verna has successfully hid but is it even worth it targetting Motor anymore? Ghost Girl will capture Sena if not stopped. However... Rita is showing first signs of hesitation since this all began, a result of Sena's inquiry. Would she be willing to help, perhaps?

SENA #04 OLD ACQUARIUM *+Rita, Ghost Girl* Music: Foundαtion of Trαdition ------------------------------------------------------------------- Frogadier's Quick Attack (3369 Atk Value) -not used to strike- "But I'm the one not at peace! You obviously don't understand how I feel, even though your parents are dead too!" Rita screams back at Sena as she herself jumps back from the fight, just in time to escape getting encircled by Frogadier's Quick Attack. As she did so, the electrical current connecting Motor to her A-Comm extended to fit the distance between them. Motor itself simply grinned at Frogadier before vanishing, along with the current. "Motor, use Thundershock! We'll cut its escape route!" Rita said as she let go of her A-Comm, which was red again, leaving it to float up two meters or so above the ground. Motor's face appeared as a hologram from the A-Comm, as it began firing bots of lightning all around Frogadier. Its attack couldn't match Frogadier's speed, but the bolts of lightning would be targetted so that every time Frogadier tried to approach it and Rita, its path would be cut by one, effectively preventing it from approaching them. Motor's Thunder Shock (??? SpA Value) -crit and Paralysis will be rolled if Frogadier gets hit as a result of actions on Sena's turn or earlier- The Ghost Girl would approach Frogadier from behind, running up until she reached the edge of its Quick Attack circle. She'd jump up and slam her heel into the ground, making the area around where Frogadier was running collapse into mud, making it harder for Frogadier to move around and perform his Quick Attack. Were Motor to attack while Frogadier was in this muddy hole, Sena wasn't sure whether Frogadier would be able to outrun the Thunder Shock. Ghost Girl's ??? (??? ??? Value) -not used to strike- Verna found multiple spots good enough to hide if the going got tough all over the rubble. There were pieces of concrete much taller than Sena or the Ghost Girl, reinforced by steel framworks as they used to be part of the building's construction, so they might be able to whitstand an attack if need be to hide. For now, she blew a gust of wind at Ghost Girl's back, right after she'd collapsed the ground around Frogadier. Verna's Gust (2806 SpA Value) -crit: 91,7 no crit- Ghost Girl takes 12 damage. The gust of wind hits the Ghost Girl, but the hit is so weak against her that she barely notices it. She glances up at Verna but only for a moment. She doesn't seem to consider Verna a threat after such a pitiful display. TURN END Ghost Girl's Fountain of Life activates. Ghost Girl recovers HP back to full. ---------------------------------------- [BATTLE PHASE CONTINUES] Frogadier is stuck in a muddy hole. Verna has found a place to hide. Motor escaped Frogadier's attack with ease and the Ghost Girl decided not to pay much heed to Verna.

SENA #04 OLD ACQUARIUM *+Rita, Ghost Girl* "Sena, you idio- aah!" The Aether Balls burst open into flashes of light as two Pokemon emerge from them. One is Verna, and the other... Music: Foundαtion of Trαdition Frogadier shakes its head, stretching as it focuses on the Ghost Girl standing in front of it. A purple gem Sena can identify as an Eviolite dangles from around its neck. It glances at Sena before focusing its full attention on the Ghost Girl. The Ghost Girl releases a sigh as she lowers her fan, closing it. "Then I'll take you by force. If you truly reject your own wishes, show me your resolve." "I-I'll fight too. I know Sena really wants this, he's just silly. You'll forgive him, won't you?" The Ghost Girl nods to her. "Yes, soon you will both meet your families again." Rita's eyes brighten and her smile turns wide, beaming with true joy. She turns to Sena, excitement apparent on her face. "Motor, let's do this-" The Rotom flies into her hand as an A-Comm. It flies out of the device, revealing its form as a Rotom. However, it remains attached to her A-Comm with an electrical current. "I'll beat you up!" ------------------------------------------------------------------- [BATTLE PHASE INITIATED] Sena, the Ghost Girl, and Motor are fairly close to each other. Were Sena to stay in place, he'd be likely to get caught up in the attacks.

SENA #04 OLD ACQUARIUM *+Rita, Ghost Girl* Music: Boundary of human desire As Sena and Rita arrive at the Acquarium, all is silent. The wrecked acquarium is eerily silent and one could easily disregard the signs of yesterday's chase between Sena and the Ghost Girl as mere ages old damage from 10 years ago. However, to Sena, the cracks in the floor and the remains of the spikes sticking out of them are a sore reminded to his defeat, and the disappearance of Frogadier. The Aether Ball weighs heavy in his hand... It wouldn't open to him yet. Not until they confront the Ghost Girl. But then which Pokemon will emerge? Frogadier? Was it captured yesterday? Sena's A-Comm buzzes. It's Ray. "Sena, all's clear on the radars. There're no civilians around so you should be able to let loose against her. We'll be monitoring your situation and assessing the Ghost Girl's data as you fight her. That should give us a clearer insight into her statistics and abilities. From what we know, she acts as a human, but her composition is energy-based, so she's physically more similiar to a Pokemon. That's why she can use Pokemon moves. Her energy signature is water but we've found traces of ground type energy in the area as well. When you fought her, it seems she'd also used some ground type moves. The moves she used.... we have no data on them in the computer, but they appear to be extremely powerful moves... Be careful and stay in touch." [The call ends.] Left in the silence, Sena notices Rita's smile. "We'll do it this time, I'm sure. I just need to... Motor, where are you?" She whispers the last part, but it's audible enough for Sena to hear. "Psst, Dolly, I'm here... We'll talk to mama finally. So come out." As if on cue, Sena sees two Pokemon emerge from the rubble. Or well.... one Pokemon and a floating A-Comm, colored red. It's Rita's Shuppet, Dolly, and err... "Motor, Dolly, you're here!" Rita brightens up. As the floating A-Comm approaches, Sena can see a holographic projection of a Rotom's face over it. It floats over to behind Rita and, after a couple moments, her restraints click and fall to the ground. "There, that should gives us a better chance to fight off anyone who tries to get in our way." She snickers, like a child preparing a big prank. Sena might try to reach for his A-Comm, but the signal has been cut. It must be Motor's jamming. Rita...Leader... she was in control of the situation again, and his friends weren't close enough to reach them before she does whatever she was planning on doing. "Sena." Rita starts circling around him, Dolly and Motor floating behind her back. "Remember 10 years ago, at this Acquarium? We survived, but a lot of people didn't. My... mom didn't survive. But the Ghost Girl, the Ghost Girl is bringing everyone who's survived that event to come rejoin with their loved ones! She's one of us, one who lost a lot on that day, so she understands our pain. I know, because I checked the databases with Motor's help. Every disappearance so far has been linked to the destruction of the Acquarium. She'll come for us, and she'll take us to meet our families again. I need her to help me bring mama back." She stops as you hear another set of steps approaching from the stage you built the previous night. "She's here!" "Sena, Rita." The Ghost Girl speaks. However, she is not alone. Behind her, laying on the stage, Sena can see the frame of Uno's unconcious body. The two women are identical, save for their clothing. "I have come for you. Will you join me willingly or must we fight again?" Her demeanour is calm. It seems she will only fight if you so choose. "I'm going willingly! You're a ghost, so you can help me meet my mama!" Rita excitedly runs up towards the Ghost Girl. She looks at Sena with her beaming eyes saying 'come on, let's go'. However, Sena can feel the Aether Ball in his hand buzzing a couple of times. It must've been powered on. [Rita's hand is outstreched to Sena.] a. Take her hand and join the Ghost Girl. b. Open the Aether Ball and fight the two of them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #04 OUTSKIRTS - The crushed stairway *+Zeta* Some time passed after Sena and Rita have left. They must've reached the Acquarium by now, so your job is to lay down and wait for the HQ's signal. However, as more time passes, something feels wrong. As if on cue, your A-Comms buzz on. It's Ray. "Guys, emergency! We've lost contact with Sena's A-Comm. I-Iunno why, it's like yesterday, something's jamming the signal. Please hurry over to the Acquarium!"

#04 TOWN - UNO'S RESIDENCE *+Zeta, Jenny, Rita* Her back straightens when Sena puts his hand on her shoulder, most likely out of surprise. She remains standing calmly for a couple seconds before using her shoulder to rub her face into her collar, drying off the tears before turning to Sena with a small but determined smile on her face. She nods. "Thank you, Sena, I knew I could count on you!" [Sena's bond with Rita has leveled up to ☆☆!] -Leader can now use Trickster lv 2- -forces an additional Hit/Crit/Effect roll on an action taken by a target afflicted by a status condition, picking the result(s) of the user's choosing- --- Rita looks at the rest of the party almost apologetically, but seems to change her mind at the last moment. "I have further details on the plan. You guys need to stay a good distance away from us once we go lure the Ghost Girl. Else you'll be ruining our shots at getting her to appear. That's why Sena got this new Pokemon to fight the Ghost Girl with. So he could buy time for you to get to us from your hiding spot." She says with a strong voice, the role of Leader reawakening within her. "Get ready so that we can move out as soon as possible, the Acquarium is still a ways off." ------------------------------------------------------- #04 OUTSKIRTS - The crushed stairway *+Zeta, Rita* [Night is slowly falling...] Jenny left you on your way towards the Acquarium. She said she wasn't a Cadet anyways so she was gonna get in the way. Either way, you've made your way to the staircase on the road where last night's battle took place. The area around the stairs has been isolated by blockades like one would expect at a crime scene. Rita made her way up by the rubble of the stairs before turning towards the party. "You should stay here. It's close enough to the Acquarium but not too close. The Ghost Girl should feel safe enough to attack with you this far off. She'll think she has enough time to capture me and Sena." She nods confidently before continuing. You feel how odd it is to follow the orders of someone who is obviously bound and had been stripped of her Cadet education because of unknown reasons. She wasn't official Space Aether personnel anymore, yet she pretended to lead this expedition. "Be on guard, your A-Comms should go off once it's time to come support the two of us. Any questions before we start?" [Do you agree to Rita's terms or will you protest?]

#04 TOWN - UNO'S RESIDENCE *+Zeta, Jenny, Rita, 2 Cadets...* Music: Utopia Sena opens the door. Before him stands Rita, the short dark skinned girl who broke his A-Comm and made put him in danger just so she could meet the Ghost Girl. But gone is he perky attitude, as two stern Cadets stand on both her sides, keeping close watch at all she does. Her hands are tied behind her back and her head is pointed towards her feet. They must've put her into custody since she was captured yesterday. After all, from what Sena could infer, she was a runaway student... or something. "S-sena?" Her eyes brighten as she sees him, but her lips don't form a smile. Her expression remains worried as she bites her lip and looks away from him, turning her whole body in the opposite direction so that Sena was now facing her back. Her body shakes a little to what Sena can assume is the rhythm of her sobbing quitely. She seems to be embarrassed to show it. The Cadets escorting her approach Sena, handing him an Aether Ball and a brand new A-Comm. "You will need this to fight the Ghost Girl. We will leave Former Cadet Student Rita in your care as per Chief's orders." They salute you before marching away without a word, and you're left with only Rita, whose spirits are uncharacteristically low. It will soon be time to leave, so you have but a moment to speak with her... [What do you say to Rita?]

#04 TOWN - UNO'S RESIDENCE *+Zeta, Uno, Betani, Jenny* Music: Curiosity of an innocent star "The Fhief and Rubia are fine, yesh!" Zeta spoke up with her mouth full as Radovan asked the question. She gulps down with a smile on her face and continues. "The Chief had to go to a hospital though. His arm was broken or something. He didn't seem too worried, but we definitely were! Both for him and for you!" "You've scared us all." Uno adds, nudging Betani, who seemed unwilling to say anything. Jenny nods enthusiastically too. "However, to answer your question..." Music: Utopia "Honestly, I was fine on my feet before you've returned yesterday. My strength returned to me all of a sudden, as if it had never gone in the first place. I cannot say I understand, but... Could it have anything to do with that other me I've heard about? The Ghost Dancer who's kidnapping people?" Uno's words turn the atmosphere sour. Her calm voice never wavered as she spoke, bringing about a calmer mood at the table. Everyone had to turn to the tall woman, her blue hair hanging downards as she directed her eyes towards the crossed legs in her lap. Suddenly, Betani's hand finds itself on Uno's knee. "Don't speak of what you're about to speak of." She says harshly, but Uno shakes her head. "If it's posing a danger to others, then I must. If the Ghost Dancer is in any way connected to me and my past, then I-" Uno is interruped as Betani suddenly stands up from the table, nearly flipping over the plates over at the side where she'd been sitting. "FATHER SAID NO! SO SHUT UP ALREADY!" She starts to walk away as Uno stands up as well in shock, fingers intertwined over her stomach. "I never should've come here." She adds, closing the sliding door behind herself. "B-betani!" Uno runs after her, disappearing out of the mansion. --- "T-that didn't turn out all that wellll.................." Jenny says as she picks up your plates. You'd returned to the mansion after your search for the two adopted sisters yielded no results. You'd finished your lunch or not, but it was time for some cleaning. Jenny vounteered to take that duty upon herself and was currently washing the dishes. The sun will set soon, but you've heard the festival was going to be cancelled for the year. The Ghost Girl, even if she'd been defeated, had completely soured it for everyone... People have lost loved ones to her kidnappings and were afraid after the battle that occured just on the prior night. After all, the Ghost Girl had nearly killed the Chief, everyone already knew that in town. Your A-Comms suddenly start beeping. You pick them up and it's Ray. "Cadets, good evening. I trust you're fine." Her voice is perky and she winks at you from the hologram. However, noticing your expressions, she quickly grows awkward, realizing she'd said too much too soon. "O-o-or not, I suppose. Well, you're in good health from the readings I have here, so..... well, this is difficult... You guys have been appointed a new mission. Oh this is gonna be so difficult...... You're to try and lure the Ghost Girl again. With Sena as bait. The President approved of this... sorry... it's beyond me." She looks away on her hologram. You can infer from her slouched back and a long sigh that she's not okay with this. "Please read the following..." [NEW MAIL (1)] [New Mission Acquired] [CAPTURE THE GHOST GIRL - from Chief] Chief: /We don't know the status of the Ghost Girl. If my doubts are correct, then she's- no, it's not gone yet. Not completely. Since I'm out of commission, and we know she wants Sena, your orders are to recreate the situation from yesterday. Sena is to split off from the group together with former Cadet Student Rita, who we've been informed Sena should recognize as the girl going by the name of 'Leader'. Meet with Space Aether Cadet staff in front of the Tri residence to take former Cadet Student Rita in your custody. Do NOT remove her constraints, as her Pokemon and A-Comm have been untraceable since yesterday night. She might have a trick up her sleeve. Sena will escort her towards the Acquarium, which has been evacuated. The two of them are to wait there until the Ghost Girl appears, then Sena is to hold her off until the rest of you arrive at the scene and capture her ALIVE. Defeating her would only cause her to dissapear again and we'd have to repeat the process. Not to mention you would be punished for failure to comply with your orders. Sena will also receive an Aether Ball containing a fighting-fit Pokemon inside. He should be familiar with the Pokemon in question and will use it to hold the Ghost Girl off on his own, even if it has to fight beyond its limits. It's been equipped specially for this purpose. Additionally, the Aether Ball will only unlock once the Ghost Girl's readings have been recorded in HQ. The safety of the people of the Wailuda Triangle is your top priority. The Acquarium and the streets will be evacuated, but we're talking long-term here. If the Ghost Girl escapes this encounter, the entire Nexus will be in danger. Remember that./ [NO NEW MAIL] --- The mission description leaves you speechless. A knock can be heard at the door-must be the Cadets arriving with Lead- no, Rita. Her name is Rita. And a Pokemon for Sena... Which Pokemon is it? "I don't understand! Why did Betani and Uno leave? What does this mission thing say? Guys?" [You should probably answer the door...] [What will you do?]
