Paranormal Activities [SporkoBug and Calle]

Mike looked at Duncan as he explained Harriet knew about his involvement. "I suppose it's good she thinks that," he sighed. "But I wasn't manipulated. I knew what was going on, but I also knew I couldn't stop it unless I would murder all those agents and I couldn't. I'm not a murderer and... I would end up dead myself I tried. I knew they wouldn't kill Steph, so I let it happen."

"It's good you're honest about it," Benjamin said with a glance to Mike, after which he looked at Duncan and Dante, "but maybe we can keep that between us for now." He started pacing around - he was worried about Steph, but there was very little they could do about that. Although maybe Duncan could help.
"Mike, do you know where they are taking them?"
"I do. I suppose it's the same place where they keep Freya's son. But getting in there is not easy."

The doorbell rang.

Agents pulled Steph from the van and dragged her to a cage on wheels, which would be used to take her to her cell. The same happened to Gaia, although more agents were needed to drag her to her cage.

The woman watched them with excitement. "Yes, please, I would really like to have the spider girl," she said. "Please let me know when she's here. I will... oh, I don't know which one I will examine first, they're both beautiful demons, aren't they?"

The agents who had been driving rolled his eyes and shook his head.

Andy strolled to the two women, contemplating how he would introduce himself. Holding back to give a good impression or let her know who he was with the risk of her instantly disliking him. He rose his hand as a greeting. "Good day, my name is Andy. Trainer, researcher, handsome specimen of the humankind." He ignored Benny's chuckle. "I assume, based on how your human form and clothes look and the way you two greeted each other, that you are Lugia. Am I correct?"

Saruya gave Harry a little lick before walking to Tanter to greet him. "It's weird to think I'm related to someone who currently looks human."
Tanter chuckled and nodded. "I imagine so, yes. But beneath this I'm still Entei, this is just a disguise." He nodded to Niccia and Michael. "To blend in. We have human guests after all." He examined her. "You look healthy. I'm glad for that." He turned to Michael. "Thank you."

"Oh, my pleasure," Michael quickly replied. "She's an amazing Pokémon and I love having her in my team." He quickly looked around to see where everyone had gone to: Missy was with Raikou - no surprise there - and Anthony was with Merlin. Also not really a surprise.

"My name is Anthony," the Fletchling introduced himself. "I'm with that human over there," he added as he pointed his beak in the direction of Michael. "Merlin has trained with me a few times to help me get stronger."

Mindy looked at the Decidueye and noticed Michael had let out all of his Pokémon. Should she do the same thing? Wouldn't it get too crowded. But she also had a Decidueye and Timothy might like to meet another of his kind.
She decided to let her Charizard Blaze and Decidueye Timothy out, and keep her Lapras and Onix in their Pokéballs until they reached the place where Star Fall would take place, hoping there would be more room there than in this clearing around the shrine.
The Charizard looked around and talked briefly with Mabel to learn what has happened so far. Timothy scanned the surroundings to see there were no threats before he curiously looked at his own kind.

Jirachi nodded. "Another 300 years before the comet comes then." He floated up so he could give a quick hug to Celebi. "It's really nice to see you again."
He looked at the ground and noticed the Pokémon were done with the markings. And the last notes of the song echoed around for a while longer.

Penalopy flew up and landed with one foot on the shire, making a pirouette. "This is so amazing! Who is ready for Star Fall?"

"I am," a male voice sounded as he emerged from the forest. His hair was blue hair with white sideburns and his eyes red. Ilios looked around with a Delphox standing next to him. "Isn't Ilias here yet?" he asked. "We agreed to meet here."

Nobody Will Believe It [SporkoBug and Calle]

"I haven't seen you this happy before," Benjamin said. Not that he knew her that long, but still. It was nice to see someone was able to be happy in this awful place.
He didn't think he would need a guard - no-one had tried to kill him during the night so far - but it was nice to know she cared enough to suggest it.

He looked up when the door opened and a nurse brought in his night-time medication.
"Thanks, I already had my portion today," Benjamin said.
"You need this four times a day," she reminded him.
He reluctantly took the cup and watched her.
"Since you are labelled as a refuser I have to see you take them."
"Then we can stand here all night," Benjamin replied as he put the cup on his nightstand. "Good night, I'm going to sleep now. And if you wish to stand in the doorway all night: be my guest." He turned around, grabbed his pyjamas and went to the small bathroom to change.

The nurse left, she knew she couldn't force him to take them, but she would report it.

Mike can sigh in relief.

And poor Rose captured again.

"No thanks," Benjamin said to the tall man when he offered food and drinks. "At least not now, but thank you for offering."
They followed Duncan to the living room and helped Freya on a couch so she could lie down.

"We're expecting another friend," Mike said. "He'll be here... soon. I think." He took his phone when he heard a message, but it wasn't Mitch as he had expected. The text was from Ethan.
*I saw you leave. Meet me at the park at dawn, we'll be done with vampire hunting by then and you can tell me what the fuck is going on.*

"Does Harriet know what happened to Gaia and Steph?" Benjamin asked.
"I just hope no-one will tell her what my job was..." Mike muttered.

The van reached the secret base in which the dangerous creatures were kept. The gate opened and the van drove into a hill. The door closed behind them and he parked at the loading bay. A few agents joined them and one of them opened the doors of the van to get the new creatures out.
"Only two?" a woman asked.
"One escaped," the driving agent explained.
"A pity. Right, let's lock these up and then we can starts with a proper examination." She checked her file. "I would have loved to meet the spider-girl though."

"Well, excuse me, mr Hank," Benjamin said. "But I don't want to be pulled over because a police-officer sees no-one is driving."
Here he was arguing with a car. One more thing to add to the list of things he wasn't expecting to do at all.

When the car stoppen, Benjamin exited the car when they reached the house. "Thanks you," he said to the car and helped Mike to get Freya out as well. They helped her to the door of the house.
"We'll have a look at the maps," Mike promised. "First we need to take care of you."
"If Mitch isn't busy..." Benjamin began.
"I don't think we can afford him," Mike sighed.

They reached the door and as the car had said the opened for them.
"Duncan?" Mike called as the stepped inside.

"You should have a word with Merlin," Benny giggled. "You two can bond over not thinking highly about him."
"No," Andy said. "Get in line. I want to know how low he thinks of me first. Dibs! I call dibs."

He noticed the other humans - probably Human-looking Pokémon if he saw it right - and he walked towards the two gentlemen that hadn't rushed in to greet Niccia. "If that is Suicune, I'm going to guess Entei and Raikou." He noticed the tall woman with the glistening white dress shirt. What Pokémon would she be? She kind of reminded him off... Frosiien.

Tater nodded. "Well observed, human," he said with a bow of his head, but he looked at Michael. "Excuse me though."
He followed his sister to Niccia and Michael, but unlike his sister he turned to the boy. "Will you free our children for today?"
"Of course, yes," Michael said and he quickly took his Pokéballs to let out Saruya, Missy and Anthony.

When Merlin noticed the Fletchling was let out he flew down. "There is a Talonflame here," he informed him. "I'll introduce you."
Anthony looked at Michael, who nodded at him, and then flew up to join Merlin so he could greet the Talonflame.

Jirachi smiled broadly when Saveri joined them. "Hello! It's good to see you again. It's been a while, hasn't it?"
Truth to be told, he wasn't entirely sure how long he had slept. It was a thousand years because the comet wasn't here, but he had no clue how long it had been.
