[[Reportan with soup again]]

[Absolutely....plot-locked]

[Reporting]

After last night's lack of plot for our two heroes, Thomas and Dragonite hope to be more involved today.

"Got any threes, Dragonite?" Thomas asked.

>should we attempt to break the collar again? the scientist said we could go free after the tests. But what if she lies? Then what? we'll get to that when the time comes

Luci sits in her cell, staring into space.

Reporting in.

>>7332613
Snatch walked over to Luci's cell, carrying more soup.
"Hey Luci, how are you feeling?"

>>7332652

"About as well as possible, given the circumstances. Is that more soup?"

Arez had woken up early that morning to get some muscle exercises in so his body could go back to normal, unfortunately weeks of not moving and made this incredibly difficult. "Damn......." He said as he fell down covered in sweat.

-walking around looking glum and carrying a box of tools-

Rika woke up and found that she had fallen asleep on her desk. She looked around and saw that most of her stuff had been successfully set up, which was quite good as it meant less work for her to do today. She got to work straightening up her papers, planning on checking in on the Lucario shortly. She decided to start up the tests and leave her there while they ran, so she could work with Arez.

>>7332672
"You bet. I made it spicier for you."
He poured a bowl and gave it to Luci.

>>7332724

Luci tries the soup, this time letting a vague smile creep across her face.

"Now that's good soup."

>>7332741
"I'm glad you like it. Do you want any seconds?"

>>7332799

"Sure... I'll take what I can get before Rika shows up for another round."

*Kyo awoke in the make-shift bed that Ray had made for her during her first night in Celadon. She sat and rubbed eyes, still half asleep.*

"I wonder if there's anyone interesting or fun around here....."

>>7332816
>>7332816
"Well we could check out the rest of the region, there's more to Kanto than just Celedon."

>>7332875
*Kyo shook her head*

"Not yet, I haven't seen everything here. And I haven't met a lot of people or pokemon yet, so I'm going to head out for a little bit. I'll be back as soon as I can."

*And with that she walked out the door and headed to some apartments she had seen, that seemed like a lot of people would reside*

Black Mage had inquired if Jasmine knew a way to heal the broken Iron Barb on the Peruvian Jumping Ferroseed, as the Pokemon Center healing machine had not repaired it when he brought it there after each of the failed training attempts.

Dree and Silas were sitting outside the apartments, the Gardevoir teaching the Ralts how to better manage his psychic abilities.

>>7332810
"Alright then."
Snatch refills her bowl.
"So yesterday, I talked with my boss, and he said that you could join Team Terra, but I need to ask you a few questions first."

-walks around the Rocket Compound-
DOES ANYBODY NEED HELP OR HAVE SOMEYHING FOR ME TO FIX!?

>>7332904
>>7332904
"I guess I'll be on my way as well, no point in staying around here." He grabbed his things and walked out.

Just walking around the city, back to patrolling, back with his Sawsbuck.

>>7332919

*Kyo was walking around the apartments admiring both the their structure and the pokemon and people which took residence there. She had met a Houndoom, Gligar Charmeleon, and even an Absol. As she was walking however, she saw a Gardevoir with a young Ralts, though they were all from Hoenn, she had never actually seen either close up, so she was quite entranced in watching them, staring intently*

"This did turn out to be interesting"

>>7333018
Dree glanced over while guiding the ball Silas was levitating. ~It's kind of rude to stare.~

>>7332650

*he had awakened quite refreshed from the previous night. After his morning routine, he got dressed and relaxed on the couch trying to think on what to do today.*

Ty was doing what he was doing just about every day: chilling in his office, flinging darts at a board with a target painted on it, that was hung up on the office wall.

Pic unrelated, though.

>>7333027

*Dree speaking to her snapped Kyo out of her amazement*

"Oh! Um, uh....Sorry, it's just that I've never seen a Ralts or a Gordevoir, despite living in Hoenn for as long as I have....."

Rosa had been attended to the night before when one of the nurses found her passed out on the floor with a dislocated shoulder.

>>7333033

*After thinking for a while he began to feel a bit stuffy so he relocated, walking out of his apartment and onto the balcony overlooking the city. Perhaps the view would help him think of something to do.*

>>7332930

"Oh fun, more questions. Ask away."

>>7332510

"Ugh, Dragonite, we've been in only one good fight during our time in this group." Thomas whined. "When I joined, I did it in order to alleviate some boredom, not to stand guard at some stupid gate."

Thomas hopped on the radio, and broadcasted.

"Thomas from Spec. Ops. here... Anybody need some help or anything?"

>>7333056
evening.

>>7333063
~For some reason, I'm finding that hard to believe.~

>>7333097
"Well first off, would you be willing to train some of the Templars, the fighter division, in the Aura?"

>>7333056
[cooool captain crunch vs a megazord]

>>7333136

"I'd do my best. Seems I'd have to figure it myself first, I know *how* to use it, but not really how it works."

>>7333149
"Alright. Secondly, do you have a trainer?"

>>7333128

"It's true, I haven't been on la-near forests or towns in awhile....I've lived uh, near the sea for a long time"

>>7333140
>captain crunch

>>7333158

"Technically? Yes. He never un-registered me. But I haven't seen him in two years."

>>7333112

Ty was startled by Slowpoke just as he threw the dart, missing the board of wood, and hitting the wall. "Oh shi-! Oh wait, it's just Slowpoke. Sup."

>>7333177
"Alright then. Welcome to Team Terra!"
Snatch pressed a button and a fanfare played.
"Now, about your position. I take it you want to be part of the Templars?"

>>7333174
[just a joke mang]

>>7333214

"I'm not really familiar with your rank structure. I want a position wherein I can operate independently, and perhaps recruit a few of my non-human friends to work with me."

>>7333181
nothing much, Absolutely nothing!

>>7332964
>>7332964
Rayquaza walked around the city, if Kyo was going to get to know this place, so was he.

>>7333167
She stares at Kyogre for a moment before looking back at Silas and raising the ball higher in the air. ~That makes sense.~

With no entertainment what is there to do

>>7333237

"Yeah, that sucks." He then kicked off his desk, spinning around in his swivel chair.

>>7333323

*Kyo laughed nervously before sitting down nearby, continuing to watch*

"So, what's with the ball? Is it a game?"

[[reportan late]]

>>7333233
"Well, most of Team Terra is our R&D department, and I'm pretty sure you don't want to be there. I can make you the captain of the first all-pokemon Templar squad, being formed just now. You can recruit any pokemon you want for the squad and you can do what you want unless a superior gives you a mission or a direct order."

>>7333380
~Kind of. It's mostly to teach him how to control his psychic abilities, but he thinks it's pretty fun.~

>>7333410

"Sounds fair. Now I just gotta get outta here. Heh. Wonder where Rika is?"

>>7333423
"Alright, I'd issue you your equipment, but most of it is still being custom made for you and your abilities."

>>7333459

"Equipment? Like what?"

Vinnie walks around Celadon looking for Alex while looking deep into thought.

>>7333413

"I see....it's pretty hot today, don't you wish it would rain, miss?

>>7333469
"Most of what I have right now."
He gestured to his armor and sword.
"Granted, most of it will be protypes, we're still tinkering with technology for your Aura powers."

>>7333092

*He couldn't figure out anything to do even while looking out over the city. Seems like the usual boredom has struck again.*

"Dammit..."

*He leaped from his balcony, landing on his feet thanks to the boots and aura. He stretched a bit before starting to walk out of the courtyard to the fountain...*

>>7333498
~Rain's always nice... Didn't it rain a few days ago?~

>>7333423
Right after Luci said that, Rika appeared behind Snatch, adjusting her glasses.
"So. Lucario. Are you ready to continue?"

>>7333471
After a bit he noticed a little restaurant, he barely noticed how hungry he was. He stopped by to get some food for him and his Pokemon.

>>7333545

"Right. Let's get this over with."

Luci gets up and walks over to the door.

>>7333543

*Kyo giggled a bit*

"Yeah...."

*Suddenly a presence came off her for a split second before it began to drizzle outside*

Huh?.....good timing....

>>7333100

Thomas continued broadcasting.

>>7333545
"You shouldn't try to surprise someone with a sword."
Snatch got up and turned around.
"Will she be released after these tests?"

>>7333572
[in Luci' mind]
I see you wish to leave Luci

>>7333574

*Suddenly rain as he arrived at the fountain*

"Are you kidding me?"

*He pulled out his umbrella, chilling out under it.*

>>7333599

>what the hell? who are you? And of course we want to leave.

>>7333559
>>7333559
A young girl walked over to him and handed her a menu, one of her arms was in a brace. "Welcome to Rosa's cafe, what can I get you?"

>>7333585
"I am used to defending myself against attacks. I AM armed, you know. Anyways, yes. Well, technically no. Not THESE tests, but, say, tomorrow's tests. It depends on how quickly this goes."

>>7333572
She knocked on the part of the wall she had last time, and waited for Varnock to let her in to use his lab. She continued to wait.
"Um. This might be a while. If you could just sit tight for a while, that would be nice."

>>7333574
Dree looked over as she sensed the presence. ~Yeah...~

>>7333636
[in Luci' mind]
Do not be sacred I am peace ,I am salvation I can help you leave that worm nest you lay

>>7333372
All I have for time to pass is
1,3: Go forward in time
2,4: Play video games i don't have
5:7: Get high
6,8: Shenanigans
9,0: Spend time at my restaurant

>>7333645

"Fine."

Luci retreats back to her corner, arguing with the voices in her mind.

>>7333640
"Oh... right, hello. Umm, just a large bowl of mixed berries if possible. I'm in a hurry."

"For someone who I can't even find..." he mumbled.

>>7333662
>>7333662
"You got it." She went into the kitchen and using her one good arm, chopped up some fresh berries and put them into a bowl. "Here you go."

>>7333688
"Why thank you.... hm, you don't mind me asking what happened to your arm, would you?"

Vinnie had a slight, troubled face. He hasn't had much excitement recently, unless you count his meeting with Kilgore...

>>7333647

*Kyo seemed a bit unnerved as Dree stared at her*

"S-Something wrong, miss?

>>7333713
>>7333713
She looked at the damaged arm. "Oh a friend accidentally patted me on the back a little harder than he intended to and dislocated my shoulder."

[better late than never]

>>7333574
Ray sensed that this wasn't normal rain. "Damn it, she knows she's not supposed to do that."

>>7333738
A grin appeared on Vinnie's face.

"He must be a pretty strong guy, huh?"

>>7333759
>>7333759
"Yeah but Tobi doesn't fight unless he has to."

>>7333660
This one is filled with life force helping it would have a greater outcome

>>7333725
She stands up and walks over. ~For a second, I thought...~

>>7333659

Ty shrugged. "Sure, Wynaut. Maybe I'll pick up that sample of liquid light you told me about while we're there."

>>7333783
Well then, onward!

>>7333782

"T-Thought what....?"

*She seemed to get more nervous as Dree came closer*

>>7333773
Vinnie was still new to the whole Rocket names, faces, etc. But he had a feeling she was talking about the same Tobi who recruited him the night before.

"... I see..."

>>7333797

"Right behind ya, broski."

>>7333803
>>7333803
She looked over the bill. "Well that'll come out to 500p, unless you're a Rocket member, are you?"

>>7333800
~Well, I thought I sensed some sort of spike in the ambient psychic field...~

>>7333835
"You could say that. I still need to find the damn guy who is supposed to give me my training..."

>>7333606

*As he chilled under the umbrella, he suddenly got an idea. Chilling out in a meditative position, he focused his aura into a large dome/bubble around him and expanded it as far as he could within his current capabilities. As a result, it was as though the area around the fountain was protected in a faintly glowing blue bubble, the rain bouncing off of it harmlessly. He felt it falling onto every inch of the bubble, taxing his concentration, but he kept it up. He figured if he was gonna practice his Aura Shield ability, now would make a great time to do so.*

>>7333850
>>7333850
She tears up the bill. "Well then don't worry about it, Rocket members eat free."

>>7333844

(C-Could she have sensed me making it rain? N-No, that couldn't happen

"Err....What do you mean by that?"

>>7333873
"Ah, you're too kind."

He saves some berries and gets up.

"Well, thank you for the food."

>>7333901
>>7333901
"No problem, come back anytime."

>>7333897
She sits down next to Kyogre. ~I mean, something somewhere around you sent something out to encourage the clouds to rain.~

Still relaxing out by the gate, the Combee was softly buzzing around the flowers. Houndour was still lazing about and the Murkrow was perched on his shoulder, looking around.

>>7333660
After Varnock did not seem to be there tonight, she simply pushed the wall open using the fact that Varnock was AFK. She unlocked Luci's cell and led her into the lab, the wall resealing behind them. She motioned for her to get up on the table.

>>7333951
Vinnie leaves the restaurant and strolls off into a field behind it.

He releases his Pokemon and has them eat and sighs.

"Ugh, what a boring day. Nothing was accomplished. I thought I joined for excitement. Maybe tomorrow..."

He sits lurking deep into his thoughts...

>>7333987

Luci weakly hops onto the table, days of inactivity seemingly making it hard for her to walk.

"What're we doing today?"

>>7333987
Snatch followed.

>>7333955

"Eep! Um.....uh, I think....I may know what it was....."

>>7334008
[in Luci' mind]
What are you doing
I thought you wish to leave

>>7334016
She looks over at Kyogre.

>>7333831
And here we take a look at how the food is made.

>>7334023

"Erm...Can you keep a secret? Because, I can't have a lot of people knowing what I'm about to tell you....and my brother won't be to happy either"

>>7334030

Mother of god.

>>7334071
~Of course.~

>>7334079
*Slams door*
Umm...yeah... it's a friday night. They are all anxious to get home...

>>7334022

>I will leave. If I play along.

>>7334089

*Kyo looked around to make sure not too many people were around, the rest's vision dampened by the rain. She then sighs and transforms into her Pokemon form, hovering off the ground*

"This is the reason...."

>>7334124
[in Luci' mind]
I see ticking them well played

>>7334136
She stands up, staring at Kyogre. ~...Honestly, I didn't expect... Well... You know.~

>>7334137

>just who are you anyway? how can you speak to me?

>>7334168
[in Luci' mind]
Look at Mt sliver than see who I am

>>7334167

*Kyo quickly morphs back into a human, looking around anxiously to make sure no one else saw. She looked down, a bit sad*

"Sorry, no one ever expects it though......Now you really know why I've never seen a Gardevoir or Ralts......"

>>7334180

>Mt. Silver? Dammit. Guess I have a nice journey ahead of me once I get out of here.

>>7334008
She secured the clamps, making sure her head was secure, too, and turned to the machines.
"Neuroimaging . I explained yesterday. This will be the same thing, but with a different type of scan."
She pushed some buttons and a scanner lowered down from the ceiling.
"I read up on the entire history of medical imaging last night, (which was probably why I woke up at my desk,) and it has come a long way. I made some tweaks myself, so this should be no different from yesterday's tests. Although, you might feel some slight discomfort from the frequency this operates at."
She pulled out her handheld, hooked it up to the machine, and then plugged another set of wires into it.
"Almost forgot, I am collecting two sets of data today."
She attached the electrodes at the ends of the wires that came off of her handheld to the Lucario's head.
"And now we are ready."
She switched on the machine, and it hummed to life, the scans starting.
"I set my handheld to tell you what to do at each stage. It is all the same as yesterday."
She adjusted her glasses.
"And now I will leave you. It is all set up to run and collect data on its own. I will see you in a few hours."

>>7334113
>>7334113

Well, that's perfectly reasonable then.

So.

Uh.

Yeah.

What's next.

>>7334201
[in Luci' mind]
Yes you shall If you can withstand the looks of Sliver after I made it my domain

>>7334198
~Well, we're not exactly common in most places anyway.~

>>7334202

Luci sighs and awaits the start of the testing.

>gonna be a long day. Dammit.

>>7334233
She nodded and left the lab, heading towards Arez's cell.

>>7334202
Snatch looked over the data, taking note of it. This would help with the Aura Gear development.

>>7334220

"Well, you'd think with how long I've lived, I'd see every pokemon at least once.....Though my brother has always gotten angry at me every time I tried to explore land....."

>>7334233
[in Luci' mind]
You look tense

>>7334211
and on the other side of this glass wall is the liquid rainbow

Vinnie starts dozing off. Debating on going back to Lavender Town... but... the deformed beings...

>>7334252
~Well, given the legends about you and your brother, I'm not surprised.~

>>7332696
Rika walked in to find this scene occuring >>7334247
"Evening doc, looks like it's my turn for testing."

>>7334260

Simon, I...

I mean.

That's shit's cool bro.

Yeah.

>>7334258

>well of course. trying to meditate while some random spirit talks in your head and scientists hook you up to some machines is tough.

>>7334248
"Good news, Luci." said Snatch, still looking at the data, "With this, you'll get your Templar Gear by tomorrow, and it should function better than originally planned."

>>7334291
"Yes, it is. I would like to start with just a demonstration of what you can do with this, did you say it was a plate? Anyways, let us go to my lab for now."
She unlocked the cell and helped him into the wheelchair.

>>7334306
[in Luci' mind]
by the way Im in this room right

>>7334273

"Well, Ray always tried to help me by convincing him to let me explore land, but he never listened to Ray...."

>>7334321

"Hmm... can I customize this gear?"

>>7334315

>oh really?

>>7334325
~So he's stubborn... I know a few people like that.~

>>7334321
[Who are you? This is not logical, and if you end up 'god-modding' with your strange abilities, I will have no choice but to inform Tobi.]

>>7334292
Indeed it is, just don't jump in, you might dissolve... it has some of the same properties as the sanzu, which is much like the river styx, only not bloody, and more colorful, and it makes a hell of a dish.

>>7334342

"I haven't heard from brother in a long time though.....I'm living with Ray, here in Celadon for the time being. You said you knew people that are stubborn like my brother?"

>>7334361

Well I say! May I try some, ol' bean?

>>7334346
A shadow of the real threat and did you say Tobi

>>7334316
>>7334316
Once they were inside the lab Arez tried something, he got up and activated the power of the plate inside him, turning into the Swanna hybrid form.
>Evens, he can stand from the plates power.
>Odds, he falls to the ground

>>7334270
Walks around Celadon hoping for something... exciting...

>>7334330
"Since you're a squad leader, you're allowed to have your own personal insignia on your armor to show you're the squad leader. Or did you mean something else?"

>>7334392

"What I mean is armor isn't quite my thing. A hood and cloak would fit me better."

>>7334368
~Maybe not on the same scale, if the legends are to be believed, but yeah.~

>>7334378
[Yes, I did say Tobi. And I was asking you out of character. Because English is clearly not your first language. And if it is, I pity your English teacher.]

>>7334380
"Interesting."
She wrote a few things in her notebook and walked up to him, examining the wings.

>>7333853

*He was still meditatan and holdin his Aura Shield (which doubled as an Aura Umbrella for the time being) to keep the area around the fountain mostly dry, due to the rain that fell before he put it up.*

[[...]]

Spade was... somewhere... as usual...
>Odds, in his lair within the Base. Evens, on a speeding vehicle. Gets, somewhere he shouldn't be...

>>7334406
Your right English wasn't my first language
and I've been here for while without starting a problem

>>7334400

"Who are they? Is your child one of them?"

*She said this, cracking a smile*

>>7334374
I'll have to cook it first. Or else you will dissolve.

>>7334406
>>7334406
"Everyone that has a plate inside of them has the ability to turn into a pokemon hybrid, I'm a Swanna." He felt her hands examining the wings. "I can fly in case you're wondering."

>>7334397
"I'll be sure to tell the department, but you should at least try it first. The armor is durable but still easy to move in. Plus, there's bunch of helpful technology with it."

>>7334440
~No, but his father is.~

>>7334451

"I don't think the armor will be my thing. No offense. I like to keep it simple."

>>7334436
[Fascinating. I simply find you odd. Nothing wrong with that.]

>>7334450
She made a note of this.
"After you regain your strength, I would like to see. Right now it is a bit too risky, and I would probably end up angering one or more of my superiors."

>>7334455

"I see, I would find it funny if your child became just as stubborn. But....I've been meaning to ask you something....It seems like you've been sad. Why is that?"

>>7334385
He eventually leaves Celadon, but being on Mt. Silver so long made him realized he has no home anymore...

He walks further and notices an abandoned building and walks inside.

>>7334442

Oh, alrighty then.

Can I still have, like, a vial of it, though? So I can use it?

>>7334428
Spade woke up... on top of a speeding semi! He also noticed some dudes in suits up there with him...
"...Fucking dudes in suits... Why are they up here? This is clearly MY semi!"
Spade immediately dove into battle with the suits...
>Evens, victory. Odds, get tossed off. Gets, become an honorary suit dude.

>>7334470
[your the tenth nice person I meet on 4chan]

>>7334470
>>7334470
"I find it pointless to constantly worry about angering people, no matter what a person does, someone will be angered by it and besides, I already told you I have no intention of escaping." He smiled a bit. "So you want to see me use the power of the plate?"

>>7334458
"Alright then. Actually, I could make some of the extra features separate items you could wear individually, but they would work solely on your Aura powers."

>>7334482
She seemed a bit shocked Kyogre asked that. ~Um... Well... It's just that my brother and my husband are... They've been kidnapped.~

>>7334521

"Like I said, a hood and cloak will be sufficient."

>>7334533
"Alright then. Cloak it is."
Snatch took out his Terra Communicator and sent the info to the R&D department.
"Oh, by the way, your getting this but a Poketch-esqe version. You can use it to get in touch with me and the other branches."

>>7334507
As it would seem, the dudes in suits were actually capable fighters, like from that one game... Anyway, things ended when Spade was tossed from the top of the semi, hitting the ground and rolling into some pedestrians, knocking them over. He got up, dusted himself off, and headed back to the Base to relax some...

>>7334591

"Neat."

Luci grinds her teeth as something Snatch can't perceive hurts her somehow.

>>7334512
[Really? That's stra-- oh, wait, never mind. I forgot just where I was for a moment.]

>>7334519
"I simply do not wish to get fired. And sure, I would love to see it. Should we move outside, perhaps?"

>>7334630
>>7334630
"I think outside would be a perfect place to show you my powers." As soon as the two made their way out Arez pointed his index finger at a tree. "You might want to step back."
>Arez used Scald!
>4 burns.

>>7334685
She took notes.
"You missed."

>>7334506

And since Slowpoke had apparently disappeared, Ty tipped an imaginary hat to no one and then went back to his office to continue chilling and throwing darts.

>>7334739
>>7334739
"I can see that.......it's been a while since I've done this......." Arez was a tad angered at the fact he missed. "Let's try this again." He took the same stance and aimed at the tree again.
>Arez used Ice Beam!
>6 freezes

>>7334788
She adjusted her glasses, taking notes on the fact that the tree was now encased in ice. She walked up and snapped off a small piece of a branch.
"Pretty."

>>7334502
Awakened from his nap in the house he walks back to Celadon.

Out of boredom he tosses out his Metagross and strides through the streets.

>>7334851
>>7334851
Arez decided to try something a lot more powerful, he began to fly up into the air though it seemed he had some difficulty getting himself into the sky, once he was up to a reasonable height, he began to circle around the frozen tree, each rotation getting faster and faster until the gusts of wind became incredibly powerful.
>Arez used Hurricane!
