[All Trees got a counter, everything is grown now, will worry about mulching next town visit.]

Like a blip out of space and time, the clear cold sky above slumber was blue one moment and black the next. The great ship rippled into existence without a sound. And again it was there one moment and gone the next, for its pilot had used the alien transporter to attain the ground. The ship was disassembled then into a flurry of atoms and computer code, drawn inside the high tech ring his brother had created.

Standing in the snow swept streets of Slumber which had so recently been ravaged by legends, Floyd paused to look at the bright red light shimmering within the silver band on his left hand. So seldom did he contemplate the piece these says. He left his home that seldom. Standing there in the cold on an alien world reminded him though, of the ring's origins, of his brother, and of his own lush home world, warm and dark. Here it was bright, blindingly so even to one without eyes. He held his jacketed arm aloft to shade the photosensitive cells upon his skull. With a disdainful grunt he stumbled back until he had hold of his hood and had wrestled it over his curving horns.

"Now I remember why I hate this town!" He spat off to the side, catching his breath and trying to adjust to the bombardment of white.

Well, you'd best get used to it, if you want to gain the mountain top. Observed Helsing loftily. He nodded to the north at a snow capped mountain range, the extent of which was veiled in icy clouds.

"Yeah-yeah, let's get some lunch first. We've got a long way to go and I don't go anywhere on an empty stomach. Neither does Til'k." Snapped the alien bitterly.

The Geneticore, who had never seen snow save in the very distant memories of his symbiont, was mesmerized. His red eyes glistened with a child's delight as he stamped about and scuffled in the white drifts by the roadside. Floyd watched, too cold and already too miserable to indulge his son.

"Come along, hys'n sen'g'ye. There is a Berry King in town. We'll stop for lunch there and pick up my shipment too." He trudged away through the icy drifts, snow crunching beneath his boots as he made his way towards the little business.

Aren't you forgetting something? Observed the psychic.

"Forgetting what?" And then his gaze fell upon his light hearted charge. Til'k was still Geneticore. He might tolerate pokemon but he still lusted for human blood. "Ah fuck! How could I forget..." But he knew how. Shutting himself inside of the ship for so long he'd let slip that Til'k was only sociable with his own. He had to get the brute out of town, and quickly, before he cought the scent of any human. "You go pick up lunch - and those berries. Meet us outside of town." He latched hold of Til'k's scythe and began to drag the monster away. "Go on! We'll be alright, but hurry."

With a forlorn look the monstrous atrocity gave in and followed, not yet realizing the bloated number of meat sacks which resided so close by. Helsing was the last to move, taking a moment of silence to himself to contemplate his companions but not share his thoughts. Helsing marched off towards the Berry King, leaving Floyd to find his way from the city and away from its occupants.

[EDIT: Mulching trees]

So now I need a compost mod and a berry king mod (4 berries).
Mulch 1 Magost Tree (has growth mulch) w/ 3 Spelon berries & Add to existing Magost Tree(has growth mulch) - storing it
Mulch Nomel Tree (has growth mulch) w/ 3 Spelon berries & Plant new Nomel Tree (Stays in Hydroponics Slot 1)
Mulch 1 Spelon Tree (has growth mulch) w/ 3 Spelon berries & Add to Existing Spelon Tree (has growth mulch) - storing it
Mulch Cornn Tree (has growth mulch) w/ 3 Spelon berries & Plant new Cornn Tree (Stays in Hydroponics Slot 2)
FYI, the spelons used for mulching came from the 20 I bought from Kaiz. All the trees involved are mature and were grown with growth mulch.

Compost is made. All of it should be the rich stuff. Yay for you. I'm still a little confused on what happens with Mulch when you start new trees, whether it sticks around or not (I've seen as many yes answers to that as no answers), so yeah, you decide there, with your admin powerz. But there's lots of rich compost anyhow to make lots of berries. Yummy.

And now I can finally RP some!




Cutting through the curtain of blustering white, the black ship sank below the clouds and eased down between the snow laden trees. Without sensors there would have been no landing at all. The hatch door remained shut against the cold and the ship's shields shuddered with each blast of wind which rapped across their energy fields. Floyd had no intention of leaving the ship though. Ben could come to him. He pulled his poketech out and dialed the man's number, got his voice mail, and left a message that he was in town. Perhaps when the storm was over, the ship's computer would see him coming.

Over the next few hours, his team was treated and allowed to go recoup. The alien was restless though. Wandering to the hydroponics bay, he sat with Kalypso and watched her go about her gardening while he tried to settle his uneasy thoughts. Today she was making compost out of some newly matured trees. Her part in their grand scheme was coming along nicely. More trees were planted and young saplings were watered, all without the little gerbil taking much note of him. With a heavy sigh he left her to tend her leafy charges and went in search of other company.

Jade, named after his own fianc, was spending a quiet afternoon snuggled next to Rukus and tending her egg. He sat down next to the happy little family, using Hawkeye's hammock as a seat while he listened to the chatting spider ramble on about her day, occasionally scolding him for spending so much time working. Rukus looked like he was about to go crazy.

"You know, You're little one might hatch more quickly if it were to travel with me." He gave a shrug, as if it didn't bother him one way or another.

Jade eyed him shrewdly and hugged the egg close. He spoke the truth though, if she was always in stasis between towns, her young one would never hatch. She chattered something sulkily and Floyd was left once more to take his own brooding elsewhere. Jade would make up her mind before he left.

Returning to the bridge, he sat down alone in the dark. Pookie trailed in a few minutes late and yapped once at him. Obediently, he picked her up and petted. All that was left, was to wait for Ben to show up, and when he did, Floyd would use the transporter to bring him aboard. But the question remained which how he felt about the happenings on the mountain. The problem was, he didn't feel anything at all, except perhaps disappointment. He had his work cut out for him if the quest ahead were to succeed.


And now I wait for Eevee. ^^

.3 (*kicks muse* Argh. x_x Work darnit. *wrestles a crappy post into existence* I am assuming that the shields repel snow and stuff, lemme know if I'm wrong and I'll edit it after work.)

OOC STUFF


Ben settled down in the center to wait for Floyd, releasing Ninive and Anubis for company. The lucario stretched, looking around and sighed. "You had him around again, didn't you." It was a flat statement, not even trying to pretend to be a question, as the jackal pokemon turned to eye his trainer. Ben shrugged in reply, not bothering to deny it. Anubis didn't much trust the gallade, and he couldn't blame his companion.

"Nothing much happened, Anubis. I have to reach him somehow. And Galahad seemed to help a lot."

There was a pause. "Galahad?"

'The young ralts gentleman. There's a lot of anger in Lancelot, but Galahad showed him that he was being foolish about some of it.' The lucario jerked back, turning to look over at the abra as she piped up.

"Really now. Lancelot?" Ben paused, as a faint beeping became audible. "You named him Lancelot?" The lucario stared at his trainer as the blind trainer tried to pinpoint the noise.

"Hold on a sec, guys." Ben took a step forward, but Anubis stepped in front of him, poking his chest.

"Lancelot?"

"Anubis..." The beeping stopped, and he sighed. "Great, I missed it."

"What?" The lucario backed off at last, frowning.

"My tech. That could have been Floyd, you know. Probably was, actually." At least, he assumed, since it beeped instead of fizzling and sparking. He dove for his pack, finding where he'd left the thing after Cerby's rotom had hijacked it, and pressed the playback switch. "Well, guys, that's that, really...I told you it was probably Floyd," he spoke lightly, as he checked on the egg he'd saved for the alien, resting a hand on the warm surface a moment. Hopefully he had selected the right egg, to give the alien a male eevee, but it was hard to be sure. It had been the likeliest of the three, though, from what limited information his Aura sensing ability had gotten from such indistinct things.

On the other hand, eevee was supposedly a predominately male species. He carefully wrapped the egg up, settling it into his backpack, and checked on the plants before storing them, noting that the sitrus tree was getting dry and taking care of that first.

"All right, then, let's get going." Ben shrugged his jacket on, letting Mystique wrap herself over his shoulders as he shrugged the pack on. Ninive settled into his arms as he picked her up gently, heading for the doors, lucario on his heels.

The blast of snow and freezing wind that tried to tear the door out of his hands gave them all pause, however. Ben sighed as Mysti yelped unhappily, trying to burrow down into his coat, and he struggled to close the door again. Trust the alien to bring a blizzard with him. He let the kit disappear into his coat, turning his attention to the lucario. "You want to fight through that or go back into your pokeball?"

"We could always wait for it to go away," Anubis suggested, shaking snowflakes out of his fine coat with a shudder. Ben considered it a moment, then shook his head. Around here, you couldn't count on a storm not lasting for days.

"I want to get out of Slumber sometime before spring, Anubis..." The lucario recalled himself without another word at that. Ninive considered, and took over her trainer's newly-vacated shoulders. "I'll take that as you want to stay out?" he asked her at that, cocking his head as she clung there.

'Piffle. I grew up here, remember?' she replied, with a small smile. 'A little bit of snow never hurt anyone.'

"If you say so." Ben released Jax instead, burying his fingers in her thick ruff and basking in her warmth before turning to brave the elements once more. It never hurt to have a fire type around for such situations. Considering all they wanted to do was get to the alien's ship, it shouldn't be a problem about freezing to death or something with the white canine. The scavian might have a hard time spotting the hound in the snow, but that was beside the point.

Ben pulled the door open, struggling out with the great canine and forcing it back shut behind him, before burying his hands into her side. "We're trying to find the Sunflare, girl. See if you can't track it down, hey?" he called over the wind to Jax. The arcanine whuffed softly, and turned her nose into the wind, as they worked their way around the city in search of the ship.

It had been a long time since they'd seen the ship or smelled it, but it was going to be hard to miss, when they did eventually get close enough, at least. After what seemed like hours, Jax pulled up sharp abruptly, ears perking straight forward as she watched snow beat against some sort of invisible barrier, hissing off the shields of the Sunflare. Ben, attached to her side like glue, cocked his head at the foreign sound. "What in the..." He hesitated at touching this odd barrier, not wanting to get fried somehow.

Jax barked once, loudly, sniffing warily at the barrier. This was certainly new, but she could vaguely smell the ship and alien beyond it. 'It looks like you found the ship, at least...now what?'

Ben couldn't blame the abra for being skeptical. He hadn't been aware of there might be a shield. Maybe he should have called first. Oh well...too late now. He could hardly hear himself over the wind of the storm, let alone try and fumble with the device in this weather. Jax barked again, impatiently, in the direction of the ship, debating the merits of pawing at the invisible barrier.

"G-good idea..." Ben muttered, leaning against her warm flank to shield himself and the abra against the bitter wind as she kept up the racket, trying to get the alien's attention. Floyd would probably think they were absolutely insane, coming out in this weather, but oh well. Too late now.

Pick up/pay for Eevee egg from Ben (10,000)

The sensors across the dash lit up and the holographic screen displayed the curtain of white blow about the ship. Through the white screen Floyd could see a couple of gray shadows huddled in the cold. Without a word he deactivated the shields and programmed the transporter to bring his friends aboard. Then, rising, he left the bridge to meet Ben and Jax in the lab on the deck below. Pookie crawled to his shoulder and wrapped about his neck for the trip. They passed by Til'k in the living area on the way. The monster had been watching Dexter on Showtime, but the moment the human's scent filtered through the air system his own guilty instincts kicked in. The Geneticore was off the couch and clattering for the lab doors faster than Floyd could run ahead and cut him off.

Floyd dived after him, catching the monster by his forked tail before the doors could slide shut. Til'k roared and shambled through the lab, following that delicious scent of human flesh. Floyd flailed and dug his heels into the slick tile, achieving only in scrambling over their slick surface. How could he have forgotten! Til'k wasn't quite house trained for the public just yet.

"Helsing!" He bellowed. Pookie just yapped frantically from his shoulder, digging her claws into his skin and throttling him in the process.

With a bored yawn, the Alakazam popped into existence in front of the transporter pad. He was wearing his favorite red velvet smoking jacket and puffing pompously away on his pipe. In his claws he toyed with a single spray vile. This he tossed to the half frozen Ben, never once looking behind to see if he caught it. You might want to use that, human. He purred into the thoughts of the room, then, with a sneer, he vanished. Floyd's grip on Til'k's tail was slipping.

"Break the vile!" Floyd wheezed. He was being dragged steadily forward and the table he'd managed to wedge himself against was dragging gratingly across the tile.

OOC STUFF


Jax stopped barking, and Ben lifted his head as the shield in front of them disappeared, but before they could do much more than register that fact, the teleporter took hold. "...t-that's new..." the blind trainer stuttered, shaking snow off his coat. Once he'd cleared it off, he unzipped it a bit so Mystique could poke her head out, waiting for the warmth of the ship to start thawing things out. The red-tipped ears pricked as the red eyes drank in the ship's interior.

Jax stretched and shook the melting snow off her coat with a sigh, causing her trainer to duck as he stumbled off the teleporter cautiously. "Wonder when he got a teleporter..." Ben muttered to himself, resisting the urge to poke at the thing. He had no idea where the controls were or what, and wasn't inclined to accidentally break it as a result of not seeing what he was poking at first.

'It does a fairly neat job, I must say...' Ninive began from his shoulder, then paused as claws rattled over the floor and Ben whirled around at the sudden aura flare of bloodlust down the hall leading into the room.

"What in Arceus' name..?" he sputtered, as Helsing appeared out of nowhere, tossing something that bounced off his shoulder. He barely registered the snideness of the mental comment, and of course totally didn't see at all the outfit, as he tried to figure out where whatever had just hit him was going now. The abra on his shoulder's eyes glowed abruptly as she caught the bottle neatly with her own weak telekinetic powers, holding it just long enough to free a hand and snag it herself for him.

'How considerate. But, I've got it, whatever it is...' Ninive commented, studying the thing a moment before turning her attention back to the rest of the situation. 'These are your, ah, friends?' she added, doubtfully, staring at the genticore as he struggled into view.

Ben stumbled back as Til'k drug the scavian that much closer to the pair of them. Jax snarled her own challenge, interposing herself between Ben and the oncoming monster. He heard the alien's shouted comment and grabbed for the object in the abra's claws. "Yes, they...well, most of them...are...I think..." He certainly couldn't vouch for the monster struggling to break free of Floyd's claws and salivating over the idea of eating him, nor was he sure what to make of Helsing's 'help,' but he was sure at least that Floyd wasn't intentionally siccing his pet monster on them.

He hoped. Then again, since when had the alien gotten a pet monster? Okay, sure, there'd been a rumor or three on base just before he'd followed Alex and Steely out, but...

Mystique leapt free of his coat at that point, providing yet more chaos in this situation, and a further headache he didn't need. "Hey! No, get back here..!" Ben made a snatch for her as she shot under Jax, missing badly as her form rippled wildly, seemingly metamorphosing as she darted around to yap at the charging genticore, examining him carefully.

"Zorua!" The little fox shot out from under Jax, form rippling like water. Within moments, Jax fell back, knocking Ben aside once more as now there were two apparent genticores looming in the ship. The first was still struggling to drag Floyd and a table down the hall, and second monster was bracing itself between them and the first, waving a mutant claw mischievously as it puffed up, trying to look threatening.

It had been a while since she'd had a chance to cause any trouble, and she was going to make the most of it. Besides that, she actually did like Ben and wasn't going to just go and let some big monster thingy eat him. The adding to the chaos was a lovely side-benefit. The new 'genticore' waved its talons again, glowering, or trying to.

Ben retained enough sense to twist to make sure he didn't accidentally crush the precious egg, ending up on his side, trying to re-collect his scattered wits and figure out what it was he needed to do next. Not only was Mystique taking the chance to make trouble somehow, but there was still the slavering monster wanting to eat him. Oh, right, the vial thing. Where had it gotten to?

'Must I do everything?' Ninive reappeared on his shoulder as he pushed himself up. The abra dug her claws into the vial, deciding it'd take too long to try and figure out how to use the spritzer. And besides, the one being that actually seemed to be trying to help them had shouted to break it, hadn't he? Hopefully whatever was in the vial wasn't barbeque sauce, or they really were in trouble. But there was only one way to find out.'If these are your friends...' she projected mentally, not bothering to filter her comments to her trainer alone.

"Don't finish that thought," Ben snapped reflexively, as the abra shattered the object and buried her claws, covered in the contents, in his hair. "Ow! Leggo!" he yelped, batting at her.

'Beg your pardon for trying to help,' the young pokemon replied calmly, unruffled as she shifted her grip only slightly. 'You really are a glutton for punishment, aren't you?' she added, privately, causing the blind trainer to flush as he staggered back to his feet again, reflexively checking the egg to make sure it was still in one piece.

'Oh, shut up,' he thought as hard as he could. Jax barked loudly in the confusion, lost at this point. With the vial broken, whatever it was, that, hopefully, left Mystique to deal with. He had to get the fox under control, somehow, anyway. He made a lunge towards Jax as she kept up her own racket. He couldn't think straight at this point. "Hush, you! It's Mysti, or at least, half of this is..."

Hopefully he'd get an answer on the slavering monster that made up the other half of the chaos soon. Though he wasn't sure he wanted to know. "Floyd?" he called experimentally, hoping for some light to be shed somewhere as he struggled to sort out auras and pinpoint the mischief-maker in this mess.

Pick up/pay for Eevee egg from Ben (10,000)

Outside the lab, the overgrown gerbil that was Kalypso sauntered outside of the hydroponic bay, lugging behind her a huge jug of water. She puased outside the glass doors of the lab to watch the action.

Til'k snarled and snapped, at last succeeding in flicking Floyd off his tail. He surged forward, slavering jaws wide and stringing great globs of corrosive drool across the floor. The protean fox springing from Ben's coat, hit the floor and swelled to the height of six foot, claws springing wide and draconic neck posing the bulbous fanged head of Til'k's twin right back at him in challenge. The real deal froze, his claws skidding to a halt on the slick floor.

He hissed in warning and cautiously snaked his gibbous snout forward for a sniff. Til'k had never seen another Geneticore and Floyd had never told him about the monsters from which he was born. Floyd lay at the back of the lab, panting and gasping in shock at the other. Another one? How the hell? He scrambled to his feet just as the tinkling of glass told him that Ben had found the vile and broken it. The repellant, a sharply acrid smelling oil derived from Floyd's own pheromones hit his olfactory senses like a brick wall. Til'k flared his nostril's and frowned, gagging sharply and taking a frustrated step forward, brusquely he slammed a scythe into the other beast too see what had become of his sweet morsel hiding behind the fluffy white godhound.

There Ben stood, the oil dripping from everywhere it had splashed. He roared with rage. Then in annoyance, swirled about and stalked back toward Floyd. Angrily he snapped his jaws in his father's face and then left the room entirely. Again his hopes of a decent meal had been foiled. If he didn't find a way around that foul tasting crap he kept dousing his friends with, he would starve to death. What god were humans if you couldn't eat them?

Floyd breathed a sigh of relief as the monster retreated. "Shit. Sorry Ben. I keep forgetting that my son isn't human friendly." He laughed uneasily and dusted himself off. "If I keep thwarting his attempts to eat people, he might not stay Scavian friendly." Pookie yipped haughtily and bounded from her daddy's shoulder, glad to be out of the war zone at last. She darted to a corner where she spent a very tedious moment unfrizzing her fur. The alien watched the other Geneticore warily and decided this one had to be a trick of some sort. The only reason Til'k was able to reason was because of the symbiote, Squishy. Floyd went to a cabinet and pulled a vile similar to the one Ben had just broken. He brought it to his friend, giving the other monster a wide birth in spite of his impression that it was a fake, and offered it. "Take this. Next time we meet it'll spare us both some trouble. But tell me, what is this?" He jabbed a clawed thumb back at the fox monster. "A ditto?" Obviously, he'd been to preoccupied with Til'k to notice the fox's form before she'd shifted.

Outside the lab, the rodent scampered away from the hulking brute stomping through the doors. She squeaked condescendingly at him and shook a little fist. Only when he was gone did she finally go back to watering her little trees.

OOC STUFF


Ben did his best not to gag a little at the odor now permeating his coat, abra and hair, trying not to think about how impossible it was going to be to get out of any of them by the time this was over. Jax sneezed loudly as he caught up against her side, dancing uneasily at the foreign odor, causing him to unbalance yet again. "Jax..." She stilled, but reared her head back, watching Til'k warily.

The other 'genticore' fell back at Til'k's irritated swipe, quite disinclined to be touched, it seemed, for all its posing, dodging out of the way of the strike. Those claws would have ripped through her illusion like paper and shattered it, destroying her fun. After all, it was going to be impossible to maintain the appearance of a giant monster when something went right through it like the air it really was.

The talons of the thing waggled again, waving to Floyd after the irritated beast stalked away. Ben sputtered a bit, at the apology. "Your...son?" he managed after a moment or two, letting go of Jax, who followed Pookie's example for the most part, shaking herself vigorously in an attempt to get the oily goo that had gotten on her from Ben's contact out of her fur.

He took the second vial with a nod of understanding. He was rather disinclined to experience a ravening monster bearing down on him again any time soon, and considering how quickly it had given up after the fluid had gotten dispensed, he wasn't about to complain about having more ready. "Very good point, and I'll keep that in mind. I'm not a fan of being eaten, even if it's a friend's...ah...son," he shook his head, trying again to wrap his mind around the idea of the alien and the genticore being related.

Definitely not in the actual spawn sense, he knew, but still. He pushed the thoughts aside as attention returned to the genticore copy, who preened for Floyd's benefit as he asked about her. "As to that...that would be Mystique. She is most definitely not a ditto, but Arceus only knows what the heck she is. I can't find any information about her, so am guessing she's got something to do with those new territories the Elites visited," he commented, pacing forward, stalking towards the creature, rather like a cat going to pounce.

"She's what came out of the Grand Melee grand prize egg I got and ever since she hatched, it's been one big mess. I'd rather not repeat the experience, either. Needless to say, I'm glad I'm not going to be sticking around Slumber much longer. My welcome wore out a while ago, thanks to her." He was rambling at this point, but he really didn't care, paying more attention to trying to corner the trickster when he didn't know the corners of the room and she did. "Long story short, whatever she looks like now, it's not really what she is. All appearance, no substance. Illusions. Damned if I know how she does it, but there it is."

He lunged, shattering the illusion into motes that shimmered into nonexistence as he came up holding a sulky looking fox up triumphantly by the scruff of her neck. "Ha. Gotcha. You behave, missy." He tucked her under one arm, not wanting to put her into the oil-covered coat at the moment. "I don't trust her unsupervised at the moment, and I don't know what the PC system would do with it, and frankly, don't completely trust it either right now with something as unique as her." He shrugged slightly.

The alien stared blankly at the human for a moment, and then picked up on the thread of thought."Oh, well, he's adopted, I suppose you'd say. He's as different from everything on this world as I am. So I'm raising him as my own. I am giving him my culture since he has nothing of his own." He turned, paused, and gave the red tipped black ball of fur one last glance before starting for the door, showing Ben's party the way in the event Jax's memory needed refreshing on the ship's layout.

"Yes, this business with the Elite is a matter that's caused me some worry. These new pokemon, the attack on the champions in so a public an event. It was a declaration from someone. The sheer strength that was required to take down those creatures - what if this wasn't an isolated event?" He sighed and stopped again, this time in front of the looming aquarium. Kalypso had retreated back into the hydroponics bay. "Well, that's not your problem anymore. If anything comes of it that is. I promised you a lift to Corporcana, and that's just what I aim to do. I'm sorry to say though, I haven't yet found one of those plates you're looking for."

He resumed walking and led the way to the forward lift and from there the crowded compartment unloaded to the third level where the control room was. It was probably lucky that Ben couldn't see in the conventional sense. While the majority of the ship was perfectly expectable by human standards, Floyd preferred Scavian design for the control room. The dark biomechanical surroundings was stomach turning, and the room was disgustingly hot and humid, Floyd's preferred environment. And they weren't alone.

Til'k squatted in the co-pilot's seat, brooding.

Inching forward slowly, Floyd eased into the Pilot's seat. Til'k refused to look at him. Great, he'd have to treat his blood thirsty son like armed bomb for the rest of the trip.

"Don't suppose you'd mind sitting in the back of the room? Til'k does not appear like he wants to give up his seat." Another glance at the beast confirmed this. He's snorted and turned away from Floyd, still refusing to look at him. He started flipping switches and the feint hum of the engines rose to a growl that vibrated every inch of the room. He waited for Ben to be seated and for his charges to settle in before unlocking the landing clamps and pulling back on the stick. The ship began to rise steadily through the blustering clouds until blue skies sprawled before the vast window, leaving the brewing storm far below, swirling eerily from their vantage point. "To Corporcana then?" As if Ben needed asking.

The ship was off like a shot, a green streak of light across the sky.
