[h3][color=fff79a]Current World Time: 4:30 - 5:00 P.M.[/color][/h3] [h3][color=0072bc]Rico and Lulu, the Riolu Twins[/color] & Company[/h3][b][Lilac Meadow][/b] [@Ninian] [@Light Lord] [@Iatos] [@Polaris North] Lulu nodded her head, and looked forward with determination in her posture. She motioned with her hand, telling the group to move forward slowly. The two had taken up learning different hand signals so as to avoid talking during a delicate situation. And this could be as delicate as it could get. They were up against an unknown, and there was most likely a hostage involved. They made their way through the flowers, not along the main paths as they usually would. They needed the element of surprise on their side. They soon approached the clearing where the water pool was. Rico motioned for the group to stop, and took a peek out of the flowers. He saw webbing everywhere, if it wasn't clear that there were spider Pokemon here it was now. Then he saw Krissy, tied up in webbing over at the base of a tree. As much as he wanted to race out there and grab her right now, it was too quiet. There was no one around. [h3][color=aba000]The Wild Webs Outlaw Gang[/color][/h3][b][Lilac Meadow][/b] [@Iatos] They'd done it now... oh they'd done it now... they'd basically kidnapped a local kid, it wouldn't be long until local teams would swoop down upon them. In fact, they already had their scouts report a team on the move already. "Cat's Grace" They'd heard it called, they could be trouble. So, naturally, they went to stop them. They took the majority of their group, leaving a few behind to watch the base camp. Ten Spinarak, four Galvantula, and one massive Ariados, obviously the leader. He caught sight of them soon, the movement in the brush. On his command, the group fired webbing all over the area, there was no dodging the barrage. The group went down, finding the group to be... [color=8dc73f]"More kids?! And we thought they were a threat? Well... looks like today ain't your lucky day, kiddos. Maybe you should learn to stay out of the big leagues. This is the turf of the Wild Webs Gang, and you're trespassing."[/color] He chuckled as his group surrounded the young team. [h3][color=9e0b0f]Bisharp[/color] & Company[/h3][b][Sky Tower][/b] [@floodtalon] [@Polaris North] Bisharp scowled at Valentine's comment. [color=9e0b0f]"I get you're trying to lighten the mood, but now really isn't the best time for jokes. This could be the fight of our lives, if not the fight that ends it. Once we go up these steps, there's no going back. We can't lose focus. Understood?"[/color] Hippowdon, Beartic, and Machamp nodded, getting into position. Once Drago and Valentine got into position, they would move in. [h3][color=a187be]The Master[/color][/h3][b][Infinity Mountain Peak][/b] [@Iatos] This was an interesting character no doubt. He had perfect control over his Sand Stream ability, but as if that would change anything. He heavily doubted the extent of his power. A mere wave of his hand and he had practically nullified his Ability, and the sandstorm dissipated. [color=a187be]"You truly are an interesting Pokemon. But... battle legends you say... interesting... I may have a job or two for you if that is the case. You see, I have already sent a team to the Sky Tower to battle the Sky Dragon Rayquaza. If they fail, I will go there myself. You can accompany me if you want. Otherwise, the only thing I can offer you is a secure place for the future."[/color] He still didn't reveal himself yet, he didn't want to be recognized yet. [color=a187be]"And, if we were to do combat, you would undoubtedly lose, I'm sorry to say. Type advantages, pure power, strategy, that would have no effect on me. I once waged a war across this world, battling and defeating what was once known as the Legendary Council. The very force that governed our world, that still governs it. I faced Arceus himself, and he fell like the rest. Only one has ever defeated me... but he is not a factor, not anymore."[/color] He monologued, reminiscing of a time long forgotten. [color=a187be]"This was centuries ago, but now I have returned to rebuild what should have been mine. So, I ask you again, will you join my quest, or be doomed like the rest of this broken world?"[/color] This was his ultimatum. Take it, or leave it.
