Elizabeth pulled out her poketech and scrolled through the poem she was interested in. Today the girl had decided it was time to begin her search for the legendary pokemon Mew. Accompanying her were some familiar faces, Tansy, Shyam, Sini, Raya, Ryu and Ares. Most were hopeful of their trainer's success, one didn't care either way. They stood outside the pokemon center waiting for Liz to make her assessment of what to do now.

"Original uncatchable, emerge from fog and mist... If carrying the Dream Emblem your presence won't be missed... Half lies in a secret vessel fallen to the floor... Half lies in a north town in a tower that's no more..." Liz read aloud to the group. The last clue was what they were interested in right now. The girl double checked her map and then scanned the city of Escennia. "Well this looks like the northern most town in Opaddeka. What do you guys think?"

She turned to the others. Raya, Sini and Tansy exchanged glances between one another then shrugged and nodded. Shyam sneered and shifted into the guise of a Mew then made faces at Liz. The girl rolled her eyes at the zoroark, she knew he didn't believe her competent enough to bother going after a legend. Ares panted and stared out at the city, the arcanine not really interested in much more than racing off to explore. Ryu yawned and stretched his wings, also eager to be on the move.

"Well okay then, let's see. There's the battle tower but this says it's a tower that's 'no more.' Guess we'll wander around and see if we can find some tower's ruins." She stated unsure of what they were looking for. The girl and Raya climbed aboard Ryu who shot into the air and flew low over the city to give the two a view of everything. The group below followed after also keeping their eyes open, more or less. Shyam was still traipsing around as Mew and glaring at everyone.

You did not see anything just yet, but that didn't mean it wasn't there. You did see a car chase though.

Enter big black SUV with ballistic proof windows and armor. Add one Geneticore that can't drive but insists on it. See SUV tear through town like a bat out of hell. Also note that the music blasting from the rolled down windows was 'Flying Purple People Eater". You had an excellent view of said SUV come to a swerving stop at a police barricade. It's flashing necklace of cruisers trailing behind circled quickly around.

You then had the enjoyment of watching the police try to drag the geneticore bodily from the vehicle. They didn't get far before backpedaling and trying to talk monster down. For his part, Til'k was oblivious. So he had a lead foot. And besides, Floyd was drunk again. He couldn't let Floyd drive drunk, could he?

Floyd was trying to explain this. The officer in charge was face palming. Someone was writing a few tickets and shoving these at the alien. The General's shoulders slumped, he withdrew the big SUV into a pokeball, and started counting the points on his license while the cops dispersed (because honestly, no one in their right mind is putting Til'k in the back of a patrol car).

Alien and monster sat down on the side walk. THis was about the time Floyd looked up.

You could see the 'Oh.' look form on his toothy face. Til'k pointed with a claw and hopped and wriggled. Floyd did a slow wave, still mostly drunk, and still sure he was seeing things.

Dragon, jackal and human all watched the mess below them play out. Liz's eyes widened when she recognized the being who'd been behind the wheel of the SUV.

"The hell?" The girl murmured as they continued to watch as things played out. Ryu had gone into a circular pattern as it was easier to fly a circle than to hover in place. As far as Liz could tell from here, Til'k was driving because Floyd was almost too drunk to stand. The girl knew the scavian liked his drink a little too much but she hadn't ever really seen him wasted, save for at events which wasn't unusual as most people tended to be drunk at parties.

Then the pair on the sidewalk looked upward spotting the trio in the air. Liz cocked her head to one side and returned Floyd's wave. Til'k seemed rather excited to see them though Liz wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not. It was probable he was just anticipating his chance at a snack. Liz and Raya leaned forward, the lucario suspecting what her trainer was about to do. Then Liz wrapped both arms around Ryu's neck. As soon as her grip was secure the salamence curved his body downward, clapped his wings to his sides and they dropped, rushing toward the ground at a frightening speed.

Seconds before the dragon was about to slam into the pavement in front of Floyd and Til'k, Ryu stretched out his wings and arched his body backward. His wings then surged forward creating a powerful wind that could knock people off their feet. Ryu's wings pumped heavily keeping his body parallel with the ground. Gradually he slowed the beats and touched his talons gently on the pavement as his body came to rest on the road. Liz remained seated behind Raya, just in case Til'k got any ideas, and examined the pair thoughtfully.

"Hey Floyd, Til'k... ya'll ok?" She inquired glancing sideways in the direction the cops had just left. Raya eyed they as well looking a bit disappointed at such behavior. Ryu rumbled a greeting to the two but also kept a wary eye on the man eating geneticore. Somewhere behind them Liz's gaggle of other pokemon were beginning to catch up.

OOC FYI


The alien was a little slow at the moment. He watched as the apparition landed and tilted his head to the side and stared hard. He leaned forward, then back, almost as if he couldn't exactly focus on the person in front of him. Finally he gave his head a shake and scratched the back of it.

"Lizzz?" He drew out the syllable carefully. "Ish dat you?" Again a shake of the head. He tried to stand back up, wobbled a bit, and decided maybe it was better to sit after all. He waved again, having forgotten he already had.

Til'k would have face palmed if the gesture meant anything to him. He sighed heavily before delicately leaning down and plucking a pokeball off the alien's belt with his teeth. He pitched it into the road and an familiar sour face appeared.

Helsing floated into the middle of the street, and yawned. When he caught glimpse of the alien on the walk his ears dropped and his mustache deflated.

Til'k. You were supposed to be watching him.

The monster hung his head and shrugged. He flopped his tail once, apologetically.

Look at him! He's plastered. Again. The psychic threw up his hands, the look of disgust on his face said all.

Til'k slunk lower to the asphalt, tail thumping more pitifully now.

Helsing stalked over to the alien and tore the slips of paper out of the alien's hands. Floyd looked up, but didn't really comprehend what had just happened. He reached for the papers a little belatedly as the pokemon stalked away and paraded about in a circle, still preaching.

Exceeding the speed limit...driving without a license...exceeding the noise ordinance, driving recklessly...drunk in public...destruction of public property...Why are you in the drunk tank! He looked through more of the paper work. Well at least they pulled your license until the fines are paid, and oh! You have to go to driver's ed and AA meetings! Helsing glowed at this last bit. Can I come too? I have to watch this!

The alien struggled to his feet at this point. Enough of what the pokemon was chiding him about was sinking in for him to get angry. He didn't get very far. He swerved off to the side, tripped over the sidewalk, and crawled off to the bushes. Horrible retching noises followed. Helsing looked away and Til'k continued to look pathetic.

Floyd staggered to his feet afterwards, swiping at his mouth and taking deep breaths. He turned around slowly, held up a finger towards everyone's general direction. No, he wasn't flipping everyone off, it was a 'give me a minute' finger. He fumbled with his ring and managed to coax the Sunflare out of it. He vanished a moment later.

Helsing reclined in the air, flipping through the little slips of paper and smiling. That was when he picked up on the audience.

Oh! Elizabeth, isn't it? Did you see the whole thing? OH! I envy you. How I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall. But alas, I was getting my beauty sleep. He chortled to himself and twirled at his mustache. Til'k slunk away from him and crept toward the familiar face. Any face was better than Helsing's. The monster hid behind Liz about as effectively as a mountain hides behind a mouse.

The alien returned about ten minutes later. He was still wobbly but looked slightly more coherent. He had a drink in his hand - it looks very much like the hangover cure Quinn had given him at a party once. The alien also had a fresh change of clothes. Torn jeans and a white tank which looked less disturbing than armor and an arsenal. No vomit stains attached, he sat back down on the walk, tossed a few swallows of the horrible liquid down his throat and shuddered.

"Lizzzz." He coughed. "Drinking contest. Didn't know da guy wuzz a triplet. Couldn't figger out why he wuzzant even gettin a buzz."

Well that explains it. You're just dumb.

"Shuddaap, Hel." The alien snapped. Took another drink. Shuddered again.

You realize you can't drive now, right? He continued to taunt.

"Course I can. Just can't get caught." He snorted, feeling a little more like himself. He looked up at Liz again, his thoughts slowly starting to line up. "Aw man, you musta seen tha whole damn thing." Now he looked even more startled. "And ya've been thar the whole time. My god. I'ma ass!" He got to his feet, left the drink on the walk and managed a stumbling walk over. "I'm surry Liz, thar ya are, all concerned over Mr. AA Reject and here I am vomiting all over maself." He wasn't sure how to convey how he felt. He was touched that this person thought enough of him to see if he was ok.

"Thankya Liz, I'm ok. Will be. Soonish." He looked around stumbled back toward the quick cure and sat back down. The world was still spinning. "Wut bringz you guyz here, any...who?" Another snort of the drink. Another shudder.

There was something surreal about watching a plastered alien be berated by a floating psychic pimp. She got the feeling from the way Helsing was speaking that this sort of thing wasn't uncommon. She slid off Ryu's back feeling it safe enough to not have to worry about a quick take off. Raya hopped off as well and crossed her arms in full agreement with Helsing. Liz wanted to help but there really didn't seem to be much she could do. Then Floyd vanished, up to that spaceship of his. The girl glanced upward a moment before realizing she was being addressed.

"Er... yea, yea I did. It wasn't pretty." Liz replied watching Til'k with some surprise as the monster huddled behind her. Raya and Ryu both shot glares at the geneticore, in case his innocent act was just a ploy. Awkwardly Liz patted the beast on the head in an attempt to be reassuring. She just hoped she didn't smell too good today.

Then Floyd was back looking a bit refreshed. Liz gave him a small grin and shook her head. "I see... well just remember, drinking contests are usually rigged." She commented having heard of the triplet or twin trick before. It was pretty old school and Liz didn't even drink. The girl bit back a slight smirk as Floyd finally started to fully comprehend things. As he seemed to be okay, the situation had now taken a rather amusing turn.

"Yea, well, it's hard to miss most things up there." She gestured vaguely above her. The girl blushed a little but shrugged. "Hey what are friends for right?" She stated giving him a bigger grin. The girl stepped over to grab hold of his arm and steady him as he sat back down. She joined him on the sidewalk and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

Sini popped up alongside Ryu and blinked at the group that had joined her trainer. The blue gardevoir glanced around to Raya who shrugged and shook her head. Ares bolted up from nowhere and skidded to a halt inches from Helsing. The canine barked loudly in excitement when he saw Floyd and would've rushed up to give the scavian a good licking if Liz hadn't shot him a warning look. The overgrown puppy whined and plopped down on his haunches knocking a small pink ball from his back. Shyam-disguised-as-Mew had apparently hitched a ride on the arcanine and fallen asleep. It was a most rude awakening when he smacked into the pavement.

'Dammit you brainless mutt! Watch what the hell you're doing!' The zoroark snarled angrily as he got to his feet and brushed himself off. His focus dropped and the image of Mew fell away momentarily. The dark fox glared at the arcanine and made to swipe at him when a vine shot forward and entwined around the zoroark's wrist. Shyam scowled and turned to shoot an angry glare in the direction of Liz's starter Tansy who'd just arrived on the scene. The venusaur gave the fox a scowl of her own. Nimbly though the zoroark freed himself of the vine and twisted away from the group. He growled in annoyance then regained his mocking image of Mew who blew everyone a raspberry and climbed atop the closest awning or balcony he could find. Ares was delightfully oblivious to the whole thing.

'Mr. Grumpy's a bit grumpier today isn't he?' Sini commented following the zoroark with her gaze. Raya cracked her knuckles and flicked her ears back also keeping an eye on the zoroark.

'I think he's jealous of Liz's desire to capture Mew. If she succeeds, he won't be "the favorite" anymore.' The lucario stated turning her gaze back to Liz and Floyd. Sini looked thoughtful for a minute then frowned.

'Are we not Liz's favorites?' She said slightly confused. Raya sighed and shook her head.

'Liz doesn't have favorites.' Raya replied simply. Sini blinked then nodded slowly. She smiled to herself looking quite pleased about this piece of information. Liz just shook her head and chuckled then turned back to Floyd's question.

"Er, sorry. Um, well..." Liz dug out her poketech and pulled up the riddle which she showed to the scavian. 'Course it was possible he still couldn't see straight enough to read. "We're trying to find the mew emblem, or the half in the north town in a tower that's no more." She quoted the last line then frowned still unsure what that could mean. "So yea, we're looking for a tower that's no more, though we haven't had much luck yet. Then again we could be in the wrong place, I just assumed Escennia was the north town the riddle referred too." She explained then eyed Floyd a minute. "Hmm, what do you think? Got any ideas?"

"Mew." He repeated the word, putting it together with the mimicked pink fluff ball. "Pink psychic gerbil, right?" He had seen something about it somewhere. His head was very foggy yet though, and he couldn't get his neurons to fire enough to tell him anything more about it.

Then a tiny little light bulb flickered on and sputtered out again. Something about his Live-dex happened. And something about not having a mew. And something that seemed suddenly super important as if his whole future hinged on finding a pink gerbil. Of course it didn't. But he would realize that later when he sobered up.

"Jgsei is even further..." He brain stalled so he pointed north instead. "Than this. Mhmmm." He took a another sip of the sickening drink. The muscles in his face clenched at the taste and he stuck his tongue out. "Blegh!"

Helsing was snickering to himself.

Unnoticed, Til'k was behaving himself. He was getting his mossy head scratched which put a new twist on 'playing with your food'. Food didn't usually give you anything but indigestion. He didn't realize it, but he was purring and leaning into the hand that scratched, inadvertently guiding the hand to all the lovely itchy places that needed scratching.

The alien's awkward silence was again broken by another nugget of actual cognitive action. "Heeeey, hey Liz? He leaned on her shoulder just a little bit. "Can I come too?" He remembered something. "I probably shouldn't drive though. I think I drank too much." He stared off into space. "Hey! Til'k could drive!"

Helsing facepalmed. He walked over and kicked the alien square in the ass.

You dumb ass! You already did that. He grabbed the remainder of the horrid drink, yanked the alien's head back by the hirns, and dumped the rest of the foul liquid down his throat. Sober up already!

Floyd sputtered and coughed and went to his knees. When he was wheezing for air, he squeaked, "I'm good now...Hel. Aggh."

"Yea I suppose you could call it that." Liz chuckled at Floyd's description of the original legendary. She watched Til'k as she rubbed him smirking a little at how much he was enjoying her gentle scratching. The monster wasn't so bad, so long as he was behaving himself and not trying to eat her. Raya positioned herself beside Til'k where she could easily get between the geneticore and her trainer if need be. She still didn't trust him even a little and would happily take his mossy head off if he even looked at Liz wrong.

Liz turned to Floyd who'd posed his question sounding very child like in his request. She was about to reply when he suggested Til'k driving again which caused her to giggle and roll her eyes. The girl leaned back when Helsing stepped in. If there was anything she knew about being drunk it was that sobering up came with a hefty price and a good bit of patience.

"Ahem, so anyway, sure I wouldn't mind you coming along, the more the merrier. And it helps to have an extra, um, 'set of eyes' when looking for something." Liz said with a smirk. She glanced between the scavian and alakazam. "And if you want to travel by vehicle, it'd probably be better if I drove. I am licensed after all." She teased giving Floyd a wink. She preferred traveling by pokemon but had learned to handle a variety of vehicles as part of her OME training. Still being airborne provided a better view, unless they already knew of potential destinations. Ares and Ryu looked a bit disappointed by this suggestion; they too enjoyed having their trainer traveling with them. She gave them sympathetic smiles then focused back on Floyd. "But yea, I'm pretty sure Escennia's the place since Jgsei hadn't been discovered when the poem was written. So now we just need some tower ruins, or something."

Suppose I should scrape together a team now!
Geneticore (Til'k - 64)
Alakazam (Helsing - 86)
Ditto (Vik'noff' - 60)
Skeptile (Dandelion - 75)
Blaziken (Braker - 50)
Hydreigon (Ool - 64)

Giving 2 Kelspy berries to Dandelion, she now has 2 happiness.

Breeding: Ditto + Skeptile
Attempt 1: Need a coin flip, calling heads.


The alien staggered to his feet and tossed a pokeball like thing out. A large SUV appeared. The same armored SUV that had survived while many a fire hydrant and mailbox had perished. Floyd rummaged around in his pockets and handed Liz the keys. He grinned.

"All yours!" He wagged his tail and noticed Til'k had perked up. "No Til'k. You're not driving this time. Helsing said." The monster hung his head and whined. Well, at least Floyd wasn't slurring as much.

"Not sure how useful I can be..." He released his team, revealing two starter type pokemon and a small blob that Liz had seen once before. The blob immediately spied one of the two starters and oozed toward her, a twinkle in its eye.

Get a room, Vik... Moaned Helsing. He popped the hatch on the SUV and pointed sternly.

Dandelion was eyeballing the blob, as if deciding if she really was going to demean herself by shagging in the back of the supped up armored car. She surprised everyone by shrugging and hopping in - a devilish smile on her reptilian face. The blob stretched up, latched onto the car, and pulled itself up. Dandelion closed the hatch with a wink.

Helsing looked a little surprised. I didn't think she had it in her...

Floyd laughed hoarsely. "There's a GPS map in the front, we can use it to track down some historical maps of the town."

Well damn. That sounded down right logical coming from someone who could barely stay upright.

Braker, the Blaziken, shook his hawk head and put himself back into his pokeball. He wasn't interested in socializing. Til'k dragged himself away from his new head scratcher to make sure Floyd didn't fall on his face on his way to the car. The monster very reluctantly climbed into the back seat with Helsing. Helsing reached back and pulled a curtain on the hatch area.

The alien climbed into the passenger seat and started messing with dials and buttons. He cycled through the radio, turned off the purple people eater song still blasting from the speakers, and brought up the GPS. A satellite blueprint of the city appeared.

"Computer, locate historical city maps."

The onboard AI beeped an affirmative. One map located.

"Overlay historical map with current satellite image."

The image on the screen updated and blue lines represented the city as it was approximately one hundred and fifty years ago. Many of the streets and the buildings were still there, but several things had changed. Older buildings had been torn down and replaced with new ones. The center had been relocated.

The original center was located 'downtown' where the park now was. Floyd zoomed in here and saw something of interest. There were two clock towers. One from the blue overlay and one on the satellite. They were in two different locations. The satellite image showed some sort of foundation where the old tower used to be.

"That looks like where the old clock tower was. There looks like something is still there. Maybe we can check it out?"

Liz grinned a little and took the keys giving them a twirl before turning to Tansy. The venusaur grumbled as the girl gave her an apologetic look.

"Sorry Tans but I'm going to have to recall you, just for a little while I promise." The girl rubbed her starter's head who sighed dejectedly and allowed herself to be returned to the pokeball. Sini too was recalled though the gardevoir had less qualms about it. Liz knew Shyam would downright refuse to be recalled especially in his current mood.

Ares and Ryu would have no trouble keeping up with the SUV and there seemed to be room left for Raya alongside the geneticore and alakazam. Ryu looped around and picked up the dark fox who at last dropped his mew guise opting now for a human male who looked like the masculine version of Liz. The zoroark sneered, this was one of his favorite ways to annoy the girl trainer.

Liz just sighed and climbed into the driver seat. She didn't paticularly want to think about what was happening in the back and Raya's ears were slicked back in disgust of the pair. Unfortunately they didn't seem to be ready to stop any time soon. Liz mentally blocked them out and looked to Floyd who was, slowly, beginning to look like his usual self.

"The use of your computer is a great help. My tech's quite a bit lower key than all this." She chuckled gesturing to the armored vehicle. At best she had her poketech but it really wasn't designed with detailed maps or old maps in mind. There was the internet link up but that would still take longer to find what they needed.

She watched in some fascination as the computer went to work. The map was perfect and she nodded as Floyd was speaking. "That is brilliant." She commented with a grin. "Yea that seems as good a place to start as any." She mentally noted two more likely tower spots, both following a northern half circle from the point they were headed too.

The girl buckled in then revved up the engine. The SUV had a lot of power and she could just imagine Floyd taking it through wilder terrains. But today they were in a city and would have to behave respectably. She pulled into traffic and they were on their way following the GPS's directions.

The big SUV ambled through town, earning more than one dirty look for being a gas guzzling giant. But in a town of rich snobs, the over done vehicle fit right in, even if it didn't exactly fit in one lane. Downtown came into view in the form of the massive new clock tower, rebuilt after Jgesi leveled the town at the beginning of the war. Like most downtown areas, parking was at premium and the SUV was just too big to parallel park on the road. They would have to settle for one of the crowded lots with timed pay by the hour parking meters. Floyd skimped out on actually paying by withdrawing the vehicle into it's storage device.

The Skeptile and Ditto were temporarily interrupted so they could relocate. The walk to the clock tower would only take about five minutes.

However, they would soon discover the ruins of the old clock tower were a little further down the street in the center of what was now a park (an excellent location for the two pokemon to resume their activates - and educational for the kiddies too!). Unlike the shiny new tower constructed of sturdy granite and fresh modern edges...the old one had been built on an old stone foundation, several centuries old. About half of the tower still remained. You could still climb the old stone stairs and reach the second floor. Here, several of those pay-style binoculars had been set up, so visitors could cast their gaze about the city. There was also what appeared to be a trap door leading to a basement of some kind. There was a small padlock on the handle - nothing that couldn't be broken by a pokemon.

"That sure comes in handy." Liz chuckled as she watched Floyd recall the giant SUV. Her and her troupe walked with Floyd into the park where the old tower was soon spotted.

"Okay well there's the tower, though I'm not sure what we have to do about finding this emblem half." She stated as they approached. Her group was adamantly avoiding the direction in which the ditto and skeptile had ventured to and had resumed their activities. Many young children went screaming from the park, probably to fetch overprotective parents who would be certain to sue whomever owned the indecent pair. Luckily they didn't think to check the old tower for such an owner.

Liz poked her head into the tower and looked around. There wasn't much left but at least it was still open to the public. She glanced back at Floyd and the rest. "Whatcha think? A good a place as any to look yea?" She suggested then pointed toward the trap door. "Doesn't seem to be anything of interest upward, so perhaps we ought to check it out down there."

Raya stepped in and examined the lock. With a well aimed Force Palm she broke the lock and pulled the door open. The lucario caught her trainer's eye and raised a brow silently inquiring if they were to venture on. Liz nodded and the lucario lead the way proceeding down into the basement. The girl recalled her larger teammates leaving only the indigo fox, still disguised as a male trainer, to follow them on down.

The cellar was dark, musty, dusty, filled with cobwebs, boxes and crates. It didn't look at all like a place you might find anything relating to a pokemon such as mew. Floyd and Helsing tiptoed down alone, leaving Til'k behind. He was too heavy for the old, wooden stair case. In the dark, the alien poked around in all the corners for awhile before sighing heavily. He could see nothing at all that would be of any use. The walls were stone, the floors were stone. Everything was stone, even the arched ceiling.

At this point, Til'k was bored with having been left behind. He tried the steps anyway. And, as was expected, they broke.

The monster came crashing down. He hit the stone floor - and kept right on going. Floyd whirled around with a shout for his beloved son and rushed through the cloud of dust now hanging in the room. He peered over the edge of a large hole, - all that remained of the floor.

Til'k was not far below, moaning and rubbing his rear end where he'd fallen on his boney butt. Through the gloom Floyd could see more than just a hole.

"Hey Liz! Check this out...It think Til'k actually found something."

It was a hall, leading to someplace unknown.

And then there was crashing, smashing and a lot of flailing geneticore. Liz, Shyam and Raya all started and jumped back to press themselves against the wall out of harm's way. Shyam scowled and muttered curses under his breath as he glared down at the geneticore. Liz joined Floyd in peering down to make sure Til'k was alright. Though, she didn't really think much could hurt the alien's monster.

"Wow, that was some fall." She crouched down watching the dust settle. She frowned and glanced at Floyd then nodded in agreement. "I think you're right. Wonder where it goes."

The girl looked up above them doubting it'd be easy to get back up that way. Though Shyam or Raya could probably climb the wall and if they had Tansy out the venusaur could easily haul them up. Still, up didn't potentially have what they were looking for. So down it was.

Liz didn't hesitate for more than a second before swinging herself over the side of the hole and lowering herself down. She dropped the last couple feet and landed with bent knees. The girl trainer straightened herself and made a rather futile attempt at dusting herself off. Raya soon followed, simply jumping down from the top, as if her bones were made of steel or something. Shyam begrudgingly followed suit not really wanting to be left there alone.

"Coming Floyd?" Liz called up to the alien before turning her attention back to the unknown passageway. Raya eyed Til'k as they passed the geneticore and proceeded onward to see what they might find.

Til'k took no notice of the admonishing glares from the strange pokemon. In some ways, he was a like big dog that thought he was still the size of a puppy. Ok, so he'd broke the floor...and maybe the steps. It wasn't that bad, right?

Floyd hopped into the hole after Liz and gave him a assuring pat on his mossy head. "You ok, Til'k?"

That was all the big monster need. He leaned his nose into the Floyd's hand and snorted happily. No harm done. The only opinion that mattered to him, had just told him it was ok to be a klutz.

Meanwhile Liz led the way into the dark corridor. It came out into a large, tiled room. Once some light was applied to the situation, the room could be seen as square and entirely constructed of stone. There was another door on the other end of the room and a pedestal in front it. Teasingly, a sparkling pink jewel lay on top of it.

Liz took the first step into the room. The sound of stone shifting made everyone freeze. The tile she'd stepped on had sank into the floor. Nothing happened.

"Think this place could be booby trapped?" Floyd asked, voicing what everyone was surely thinking by now. It reminded him too much of one of those adventure movies where the guy in the cool hat and the whip saved the day, but only after being thrown into a pit full of snakes.

Now was obviously the time to pay closer attention to the tiles. There were five rows of four tiles stretching across the room. Liz was standing on the first tile in the middle row.

Meanwhile, two Sceptiles had reappeared to follow the party into the hole in the ground. One plucked a pokeball off of Floyd's belt, without him having noticed. The other sighed and rolled her eyes. The ditto in question slunk back off into the darkness. There was a short screech of protest and then nothing.

"Getting a bit dark in here perhaps we should have a light?" The girl suggested as she dug around her pack for her pen light. She wasn't paying much attention to what was ahead of her and flicked the light on just in time to catch a glimpse of the room before stepping out onto the tiled floor. The ominous sinking of the stone tile beneath her made her stomach sink too as she slowly glanced down to see where she'd stepped. Luckily though nothing happened, yet.

"Um, you guys might want to hang back." She stated and looked back over her shoulder. Raya had hurried to catch up with her but stopped when she caught her trainer's eye. The lucario hovered at the edge of the tile room, ears slicked back as she surveyed the situation. Shyam crossed his arms and leaned against the hallway wall looking a bit smug about the whole thing. The human illusioned fox tended to find his trainer's predicaments quite amusing.

"I'd say it being booby trapped is a definite possibility." Liz replied over her shoulder. The girl took a step back but didn't move off the tile. Just because nothing happened when she stepped on it the first time didn't mean something wouldn't happen if she took her weight off it. She trailed the light along the floor and carefully knelt down to get a better look at the tiles.

"Hmm, I'm guessing there's only one safe path to the pedestal there." She pointed toward the center of the room where the pedestal with the odd gem stood. "There must be a pattern or some clue to identify the safe path." Liz thought aloud as she examined the tiles closest to her. She reached out to brushed off some dust on the tile to her right. The girl was careful not to put too much weight on the tile least she accidentally activate it or something.

'Careful, you don't know what would happen if you disturb another tile.' Raya stated with a hint of worry. The lucario disliked Liz being in precarious situations. 'Maybe you should release Sini, she could teleport you out if there's any problems.' The jackal suggested casting a sideways glance at Shyam who scowled.

'Bah, that would make it too easy. If the idiot girl wants to risk her neck on yet another stupid quest, let her. She hasn't gotten herself killed yet.' Shyam muttered earning himself an even more scathing look from Raya. He grumbled and looked away, knowing he was at a disadvantage against the fighter.

"Thanks for the vote of confidence you two." Liz shook her head smirking a little. Raya was being her usual overprotective self and Shyam his usual unhelpful self. Liz was used to taking their opinions with a grain of salt. Thus she simply continued to examine the tiles for clues.

Floyd hung back, letting Liz puzzle over the tiles. While she was looking down, he was looking up. Through the cobwebs, he could seeing something like a grid. He peered over her shoulder and saw the grid pattern corresponded with the tiles. He hummed to himself and paced back forth at the doorway. Liz's sweeping brought up nothing. He stared at the ceiling again.

"Point your light up there?" He asked. And when the light pierced the gently swaying cobwebs, little symbols could be seen. One was of three wavy lines. One a triangle. One a Square. One a Star. One a Circle. They were scattered all about the ceiling. One corresponded to each tile except for the one Liz stood one. There was no symbol above it.

"It looks like those symbols up there might be a clue. But there isn't one right above." Floyd pointed out. "You're going to have to take a chance." Til'k immediately backed up when Floyd said this. For a man eating monster, he sure didn't like surprises. "I guess the good news is, even if you step on the wrong one, you can eliminate all of those from the pattern."

I thought the goods news was, you have a chicken egg. Helsing piped up from the back of the corridor.

"I what?" Floyd turned to look and immediately regretted it. Giant chicken porn was not something he wanted burned into his memory. "GOD, go back to the other room already!" He clawed at the top of his skull and crumpled against the wall, but still the image remained." So much for Floyd being of any immediate help.

Liz stared up at the ceiling as she contemplated her choices. She frowned and glanced back at the brief commotion regarding the surprise chicken porn. Fortunately she'd been too busy looking up to have caught the show. Raya and Shyam however hadn't been so lucky as the lucario and zoroark made similar faces of disgust. The girl snickered a little then returned her attention back to the puzzle.

"Yea, guess we'll just have to take a guess..." She muttered and scanned the tiles one last time. "Straight seems like the obviously incorrect choice so let's start with that." The look on Raya's face said everything the lucario thought about this idea but she reluctantly allowed Liz to make her choice. Shyam smirked a little, rather enjoying watching his trainer risk her life on random chance.

Tentatively, Liz stepped out with one foot onto the Square symbol tile, straight ahead. She tensed a little, ready to jump back to the blank tile if something bad happened. Raya too was tense, poised to jump to her trainer's aid if it was needed.

The chicken porn in the other room soon ceased to be. The chicken in question reappeared behind Floyd, plucked a pokeball fromm his belt, and released a three headed dragon. Braker then returned himself to his own ball. This all earned a glance from Floyd who saw what was happening and quickly looked away. Floyd didn't not wish to know the particulars of the ditto's trade. He was only interested in the eggs for the island.

Meanwhile, Liz stepped out onto the square. The plate beneath her feet shifted predictably. At first nothing happened.

"Maybe it's broke." Floyd commented with a shrug.

He spoke too soon of course. A trap door opened form above and a bouncy pig thing landed on the opposite platform. It's continuous springing action made the alien nauseous and he looked away.

"Guess we know what happens when you choose incorrectly." He muttered unhelpfully.

As suspected, square straight ahead was incorrect and for her guess Liz got a flying pig, or rather falling pig. "Heh yea, at least it's just a pokemon, could've been worse." She stated glancing back at Floyd.

Her gaze flicked from the alien to her pair. Raya looked a tad more hesitant now. She wouldn't be of much help with the psychic pig. So the jackal and trainer glanced to the dark fox. Shyam sneered and shook his head.

"Don't expect my help with that." He growled narrowing his indigo eyes. Raya rolled her own eyes and flicked her ears back. With one smooth motion she grabbed the fox by his throat and chucked him at the pig. It was a very undignified display on the zoroark's part. The fox managed to turn the throw into a spin and landed on one knee between Liz and the pig. He shot Raya a dirty look but the lucario just smirked.

"Filthy mutt." The fox muttered and turned to eye the spoink. "Hmph, wouldn't mind some bacon anyway."

"Thanks Raya." Liz spoke softly to the lucario who winked conspiratorially at her trainer. Shyam just scowled as he glared at the pair. His eyes glowed darkly as he looked back to the pig. He crackled his knuckles and a ball of dark energy began to form between his paws.

"This shouldn't take long..." Shyam grumbled as he released the full force of the night daze.

The spoink bounced, watching the dark fox carefully. The fox was doing something (+2 Atk) and piggy took advantage of the moment to strike. It sparkled and light shot out from the pearl on its head. The blast hurt (-60), but the fox was quick to retaliate. The pig was wiped off the map.

Floyd had been watching this exchange with curiosity. He noted that the tiles didn't sink when Shyam stood on them. Only for Liz.

"I don't the think the little squares are meant to be stepped on." Floyd offered unhelpfully. He tilted his head at the dusty floor. Shyam had wiped some of the dust away during his scuffle with the pig and they could see a few more symbols. There seemed to be more wavy line tiles and circle tiles than any of the others. Floyd though, was noticing something else of greater concern.

"You know, I only see one pedestal thing. If this is the emblem, there's only one here. Do they mysteriously regenerate, do they reappear somewhere else..." He scratched his head, realizing there was yet another puzzle to be solved - this one regarding Legends in general.

"Pathetic." Shyam muttered as he glared down at the pig. The fox grabbed the spoink by the tail and threw it over his shoulder. He narrowed his eyes at Liz as though expecting her to stop him. The girl grimaced but didn't move to intervene. Instead she pulled a bottle of soda pop from her pack and tossed it to him. The fox sneered a little then jumped up to a side ledge where he could enjoy his snack in peace. Liz sighed and turned her focus back to the puzzle.

"Should you really let him do that?" Raya mumbled as she eyed the ledge skeptically. Liz shrugged and waved a hand dismissively.

"He's a predator and likes to get his own meals. It's just his nature. I can't really force him to go against that." Liz replied. "And he cooperated, more or less, so he kinda deserves a 'treat'." She smirked a little and shook her head. Raya frowned but nodded in understanding. The lucario moved to stand alongside her trainer, also having noted that pokemon didn't seem to disturb the tiles. Liz grinned at Floyd and nodded.

"Yea I figured that, process of elimination. Squares are bad." She turned her light onto the floor slowly looking over the tiles. "There does seem to be more of those circles and wavy lines though... maybe one of those is the right choice."

The girl paused and looked at the pedestal. Floyd had a point, there was only one piece of the emblem here. "Huh, that is a bit disconcerting. Maybe the other old towers have a piece too? Could be why the poem's a bit vague, you can find a piece in any of the old towers." She suggested hopefully. That would mean they'd have to go searching another tower later and probably deal with another puzzle or obstacle of some kind. Well at least they wouldn't have to do it alone.

"Let's try this wavy lines tile here, to the upper left this time. Keeps us advancing and we'll see if more tiles means anything." Liz informed them as she stepped diagonally to the left. Raya moved with her keeping a wary eye out. Maybe this time they'd get lucky.

Liz had given the alien something to think about. While she stepped onto yet another tile and triggered yet another trap, he contemplated the regenerative qualities of emblems. Lost in his own thoughts, he didn't notice a Medicham drop to the platform opposite the human.

The creature bounced lightly on its heels, and made a motion with its hand. Bring it. No mistaking that one.

About this time Floyd had an oh shit moment. If emblems regenerate, then the ones he had used to draw Grim's mom out into the open had reappeared also. The drives he'd helped create while attempting to give the Government a pokemon and a weapon in one. The realization was staggering, and he stumbled backwards into the cold stone wall behind.

"Shit." He hissed to himself. But how? How did the emblems regenerate? How could they? The genesect drives were man made devices...based on a cybernetic nano technology. His stomach did a little back flip. They were based on a nano technology capable of self repair by duplication.

Floyd tried to shake the unnatural chill off. While he had just given himself every justification to expect more emblems to have reappeared for Genesect, there was no explanation for the other ones which most certainly did not have nano-tech to back them up. He thought back to the green stone he'd been carrying around for a couple of years now. It had been fished out of the gut of a deranged, half dead Mamoswine. But as far as he knew, it was just a rock.

There was something more to these emblem things, and the mystery of it all only made him more determined to find out what.

Now he did notice what was going on around him. The tile Liz stood on, and the pokemon now in front of her prompted another useless observation. "Guess the wavy lines are out too, but hey, if you guess wrong again, you can just hop onto the platform anyway." He shrugged and resumed his roll as third wheel.

The girl trainer had her hands full with the medicham and hadn't paid much attention to Floyd's quiet freak out. For what it was worth, she was having similar thoughts. These emblem things certainly were a mystery. They had the power to summon legends and were a heavily guarded secret yet there was always one available to whomever took the chance to find it. It was all definitely very interesting.

Raya growled, ears pinned flat to her head both out of aggression and annoyance. Seemed psychics were a theme here, only this one was also part fighting type and would prove a challenge for their irritable dark type. The lucario looked at Liz who sighed and quickly ran through her team.

"Medicham, medicham... psychic and fighting so best bet would be... Ryu." She said to herself, mostly just thinking aloud. She frowned and glanced at her belt to the salamence's pokeball. She wondered a moment if perhaps she relied too much on type advantages or was too predictable in her fighting tactics. Whatever, she was mostly interested in getting this done and the fastest way she knew how was to play to her team's strengths.

"Sorry Raya, maybe next time eh?" Liz smiled at her the blue jackal then popped up Ryu's ball. The salamence shot free of the ball with a roar, landing heavily on the platform before them. The dragon beat his powerful wings in a show of strength then eyed the medicham warily. Liz smirked a little, the dragon tended to be a bit of a show off. "Alright Ryu, let's take 'em down from the air."

Immediately the salamence shot to the ceiling above then, after throwing in a fancy flip, dove straight for the medicham, intent on making this a one hit KO. The girl glanced at Floyd then to the pedestal. She smirked a little and nodded. "True, either way shouldn't be too much longer now." Her focused returned back to the battle. Though the fight seemed rather one sided, Liz stayed on her toes. Things were never for sure in a battle and something could always go awry.

The much faster dragon appeared in the gloomy, cobweb covered room. With a leap and a roar Ryo hopped into the air. A true flight pattern couldn't be established, but he did gain enough altitude to maximize the body slam that sent Medicham into the wall. The psychic type didn't get back up and now there was one last tile to experiment with.

Floyd was still lost in thought. Not to slight his friend, but this puzzle seemed a little too easy. It made him feel like there was a punch line they had gotten yet. A punch line of another sort reappeared behind him, as if on cue, and shoved more eggs at him. He stared at the shiny wet orbs and thought about the growing horde he had yet to hatched. His knees buckled. "Oh god, what the hell am I getting myself into!" He slid slowly down the wall he leaned against, and when his ass hit the floor he stayed there.

Ool slunk back to his side, and returned itself to its own pokeball. In the other room, Vik had produced a pack of cigarettes from somewhere and proceeded to take a self appreciation break.

The final moment had came. The last step that would then whisk Liz to the pedestal where the sparkly pink thing teasingly awaited. Straight ahead was more wavy lines, and everyone now knew those were out. To the right was a square, also out. To the left an untried triangle, but it led in the wrong direction, even though there was another triangle to the upper left, leading to the platform. To the upper right was a circle, and as Liz turned around, studying the floor once more, a trail of circles could be seen under the heavy layer of dust, leading along the right side of the room, down the wall, and back to the blank tile where she had started.

This was one of those frustrating DOH! moments you don't have until you're in a better position to see everything, or until your big ass dragon wafts most of the dust away.

Floyd did not pick up on the circle pattern, he was moaning over a horde of eggs he'd never get hatched. The geneticore patted him on the shoulder, trying to be sympathetic.

Ryu let out a roar and slammed his tail against the tiled floor. The salamence was quite pleased about his triumph and turned expectantly to Liz. The girl grinned and reached up to generously rub the blue dragon's head. Ryu practically purred at the attention and pressed hard into Liz's hands nearly knocking her over.

"Whoa, easy there buddy." She chuckled catching hold of his horns. The dragon lowered his head and twitched his tail sheepishly. For all his posturing, Ryu was really just a big softie. Liz grinned then recalled him to his pokeball promising to let him out later for a nice long flight. For now it was time to get back to the puzzle at hand. Liz could see the floor a bit better now. Ryu'd managed to stir up the remaining dust leaving the tiles clear.

She heard Floyd's groan and looked back a the whimpering alien and growing pile of eggs. She bit her lip to keep from laughing at the poor guy. It was quite a daunting task he'd taken upon himself, she just wished she could help a bit more.

"Hang in there Floyd. In the end it'll all be worth it those eggs." Liz told him trying to be reassuring. That was a bit hard to do though being halfway nearly on the other side of the room.

"I could always take a few of those eggs off your hands if they're such a problem." The malevolent mental voice of Shyam piped up and the dark fox peered over the edge of his ledge to sneer down at Floyd. A bit of blood was still smeared around the fox's muzzle from his previous snack.

"Shy, shut up." Liz reprimanded the fox who just scowled and slinked back into the darkness of his ledge. The girl rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Ignore him, he's just trying to mess with you." Liz stated to Floyd hoping the alien didn't take him seriously. Raya huffed at the fox's boorish attitude.

There wasn't much Liz could do about Floyd's egg problem, so the best she could do was try to get this emblem and move on so he could get his own. The girl sighed and glanced back to the tiles then frowned at the nice little circle the circle tiles made. "Well that would've been nice to see two tiles ago." She muttered with a smirk. Liz cautiously move to the upper right, it wasn't quite the way to the platform but she was pretty sure the circles were the safe bet and would rather avoid more battles if she could. Though she couldn't help but wonder if there was something they were missing. Both she and Raya kept on their toes as they waited expectantly for some sign this was the right or wrong decision.

Floyd actually cringed at the fox's words, looking up sharply and snarling. People just don't eat eggs. No sir, that was wrong in so many ways. Liz's consoled him slightly, but she was human, and he doubted she understood. Human's were egg eaters too. Hugging the eggs was his only reply.

Liz took another step. This time onto the circle. The tile didn't sink, thus confirming that it was the correct symbol all along. Now the sparkly shiny thing on the pedestal was only a step away. The platform awaited. Another step. Nothing happened. So far so good. Floyd was watching closely,holding his breath in spite of egg nomming fox face. Til'k was watching too, expecting the worst. The girl reached for the thing. Fingers wrapping around the object...

Like Indiana Jones, she snatched it off the pedestal.

Nothing happened. Nothing at all. An awkward second passed while they waited for karma or something to stomp them. It didn't. No more pokemon popped out, the ceiling didn't fall in. The walls weren't shrinking. No boulder dropped out of no where to chase them back to the entrance.

"Is....that it?" the alien asked in a whisper, afraid to break the good luck.

Emblem got. 20LP

And she had it, the little shiny pink thing. Everything seemed to be frozen for a minute as they all stood there with bated breath. Liz cautiously glanced around the room and up at the ceiling. She had no idea what to expect though. Of all the treasure hunting movies she'd seen something terrible was supposed to happen now.

Her gaze flicked to Floyd who looked as worried as she did that nothing happened. She shrugged still looking around for something to jump out and bite her. "I think so? I don't know, first time I've done this before." She said in just above a whisper. Very, very carefully she stepped back onto the row of circles figuring it would be best if she followed the path back to the other side. Raya stayed close to her, the lucario having not gone below red alert throughout this whole thing.

Liz took each step back over the tiles with great care least they suddenly give way and try to take her with them. She still couldn't help but be suspicious that something hadn't happened. Though a strange giddy sensation was slowly overtaking her worry. She had actually managed to get half of the emblem that would one day lead her to the legendary mew! She could feel the coolness of the emblem pressing into her palm as she was still clinging to it as though it would evaporate at any second.

She was almost back to the other side of the room, just another tile or so. Of course now that she had her half it was Floyd's turn. Would this room reset or something and allow the scavian his shot at an emblem? Or would they have to try one of the other towers? Guess they'd have to see what would happen when she got back to the room's entrance.

They were nearly there, and Floyd stood up, eggs in arms. That's when it happened. A wall of light flickered into place, separating the human and the alien. The shining wall flickered as Liz touched it. It crackled with life and snapped like static. This was new an unexpected. This was like a move a pokemon might generate, but the pokemon wasn't anywhere to be seen.

"Liz?" the alien reached for the wall and was rewarded by deep shock. Together they looked around, seeking out the source. He frowned. "Could there be another pokemon in here? This looks like...Reflect, or maybe Light Screen. I've seen Helsing use them before."

There were lots of psychic types that could use either of those moves, and a psychic type seemed likely given the theme of guardians they had seen thus far. Where though, could it be hiding? Floyd blanched. There was one more move that Helsing was capable of but never learned. Trick room. He felt the subterfuge was beneath him.

"Liz. I think you're standing right on top of it." he whispered hurriedly. The entire room had been a trick. If the pokemon producing the field was a psychic, like the others, and it couldn't be seen, Trick room would certainly hide it from view the entire time.

And there it was, the trap. Liz nearly walked into the nigh invisible wall but Raya managed to pull her back just in time. Liz ran a finger over the wall then frowned. Well this was unhelpful. It wasn't quite the dramatic trap she was expecting but it seemed something wasn't about to let her get out of there so easily.

"Looks like. I haven't taught you Brick Break yet have I Raya." Liz stated with a hint of disappointment.

"No, unfortunately. But I am not so sure that is what that is." The lucario replied as she scanned the chamber warily. "This whole room feels off somehow though I can't quite put my finger on why." She stated, ears flicked back in irritation. She didn't like dirty tricks.

"Not stuck are we?" Shyam's snide voice pipped up again from his perch. He watched the scene below him with a sneer. "And another psychic. Annoying bastards aren't they? Can't imagine why you want to go after their pitiful little master." The fox grumbled. Ever since Liz had decided to go after this emblem he'd been acting grouchier than ever. It was almost like he took personal offense to the idea of Liz obtaining the legendary. "Oh and you're on your own with this one. See? I'm on this side of the wall. Can't come to your rescue this time." He added with a smirk.

Liz crossed her arms and gazed up at him incredulously. Even she was starting to reach her limit on putting up with his attitude. She sighed and looked over to Floyd then down at the floor. "Like underneath us?" She stated a bit puzzled. Could something be under them? The girl pulled out one of her other pokeballs releasing its occupant.

"Ah finally, it gets rather cramped in there you know." Sini stated as she stretched then twirled around the floor. The dancer paused then looked around a moment before turning to Liz. "This is an odd place isn't it? What are we doing down here?" The gardevoir wondered as she glided back to Liz's side. Before the girl could exlain Sini's eyes widened and she beamed excitedly at her trainer.

"Ooo! You got it didn't you? Can I see?!" She bounced eagerly in place absolutely thrilled at Liz's achievement. The girl trainer gave Sini a look and the psychic fairy took a serious turn.

"Oh! Sorry! Um, what did you need me to do Lizzy?" The blue fairy inquired tilting her head to one side.

"It's okay Sini. I just need you to- try and find the psychic blocking the way! Right! Got it!" Liz was interrupted as Sini finished her sentence and immediately began scouting the place out. She closed her eyes trying to sense where their captor was hidden.

Raya raised a brow at Liz giving the girl a skeptical look. Liz gave the lucario a disapproving look and shook her head. Raya shrugged and went to scanning the area by using her Foresight to see if she could pick up on any unseen pokemon.

Floyd was essentially useless from the other side of the wall. He watched, unable to help at all, while Liz's pokemon scoured the room. They didn't have to searched long. The hidden entity knew the gig was up. The cracks beneath the tiles floor began to glow, projecting a grid of light on the ceiling. A ball of white fog appeared at the center of the room, lit up, brightened, grew, and took shape, finally solidifying into the levitating shape of something that looked like an alakazam, but not like alakazam ever seen.

The lit floor faded and the ominous being juggled a cloud of floating spoons. The ethereal energy holding it aloft, tasseled its hair and twisted the metal utensils this way and that. Everyone in the room could feel the eddies of power radiating from the mysterious being. Floyd was to floored to speak. Liz didn't even have the luxury of his commentary of the obvious.

Well crap. Liz, Raya and Sini all stared a moment at the strange alakazam. Liz raised her pokedex and soon asserted that the thing was mega evolved. She hadn't even heard of mega evolving yet, at least not that it'd been put into practice. And was that something they did in the wild? Then again when dealing with legendary emblems, she didn't doubt that most the usual pokemon 'rules' went out the window.

Shyam watched the show from his perch and cackled, enjoying watching Liz squirm. The girl was going to have to do something about his attitude eventually, it'd been like three years since the war and he was still acting like an arrogant ass, not that that'd ever really change but he could treat her better. But more on that later, right now they had to figure out what the feck to do with mister supped up psychic fox. At least it hadn't changed type or anything, so Liz figured her two boys would be best suited for this.

"Ryu you're up again, Ares you too." The girl tossed the two balls to the tiled floor. Ares and Ryu burst forth with a vengeance obviously eager to get in some more action. For a brief moment she wondered if she could just have Ares roar the mega alakazam away. But it was probable that wouldn't work out too well.

"This thing'll probably strike first so Sini, Raya see if you can keep the boys in good shape with your heal pulses. Raya use detect if he tries to come at you, you'll be the most vulnerable and you're playing healer so you'd be a likely target. Ares, Ryu both go in with crunches, see if you can take him out in a couple hits." The girl quickly laid out her strategy as her team readied themselves. She might've been playing things a bit over cautiously having Sini and Raya in the back throwing out heal pulses, but she would really prefer not to have to use any of her max revives today.

The boys ran in for the attack both pretty fast in their own right but in this instance the mega alakazam had the upper hand. Unless trick room actually was in effect but Liz really couldn't be sure of that right now. They hadn't officially determined what the wall was, light screen, reflect or trick room. But anyway, hopefully the boys could handle this alright and they could get out of here.

The ominous being was better off in hiding. Six on one was hardly a fair fight, and even the pokemon's increased intellect and speed could not counter every attack that was suddenly thrown at him. He managed to strike the big fluffy dog before being bitten in return by both it and the dragon. With a mental scream, the figure wavered and dissipated, and with it the shimmering wall that separated human from alien.


"Way to go Liz!" Floyd shouted. "Let's get out of here before anything else pops up." He waited until she and her party had caught up to him, helped where necessary to get them back to the floor above, and then climbed up himself. The stairs and Til'k awaited, and with them cheerful sunlight and fresh air. Only when they were all safely back outside did the Scavian speak up again. "If you don't mind, I would like to make a quick trip back to my ship and change up my team. If we're going to run into anything like that at the other towers, I think I need to be better prepared!"

And in a flash it was over. The boys had brought down the alakazam without much fuss and were healed back to full by her girls. Now all they had to do was head back through the tower. It didn't take too long to follow after Floyd and Tansy assisted from above using her vines as ropes to aid them all back up.

Up top though things grew heated. Liz had recalled all her team save for Tansy, Raya and Shyam. Shyam was now donning an image of a lucario, probably in an attempt to mock Raya. The jackal was normally patient and composed but she had reached the end of her rope after what had occurred down below. Shyam had always been like this since the war but he'd pushed the boundaries of his trainer and her team's patience. Thus Liz wasn't too surprised when Raya spun around and hit Shyam with a right cross stunning the zoroark and causing him to drop his illusion.

"What the hell did you do that for?!" He roared trying to regain his wits. Raya narrowed her eyes, not giving him a chance to respond as she swung around with a round house kick, wanting to hit him before he could move. He was quicker than she was, but was much weaker as a face to face fighter. Raya's kick never landed though as it was suddenly stopped cold, by Liz. The girl trainer had stepped calmly between them and caught the lucario's foot with one hand, without flinching, just before it landed. Both pokemon gawked at her for a minute completely surprised by her intervening. It seemed quite an unusual act on the girl's part, plus it wasn't too small a feat for a human girl to stop a full on attack by a lucario.

Liz was a gentle person at heart, quiet, caring and laid back. Very rarely was she ever angry or did she lose control. So when she was angry, it wasn't the sort of out right rage or fury of most people. It was that cold, focused sort of anger which could be rather frightening in itself. This was one of those rare moments when Liz was truly angry. Calmly she released Raya's foot letting the lucario regain her composure. Her gray eyes were unusually cold and were fixated on Shyam as she spoke.

"Enough." Her intense gaze never wavered as she raised a pokeball, Shyam's pokeball. "We will discuss this later. Shyam, return." Liz extended the pokeball toward the zoroark who shied back looking indignant and a bit fearful.

"But you promis-" He was cut off before he could finish as Liz's tone grew a bit more harsh.

"The agreement was only if you behaved. Again, We. Will. Discuss. This. Later. Return." Before the dark fox could protest further he was engulfed in that familiar red light and confined to the red and white orb which he considered a small prison. Liz clipped the ball back to her belt and turned slowly to Raya. The lucario looked uneasy but Liz only patted her shoulder and gave her a tight smile before moving to rejoin Floyd and Til'k. She dipped her head respectfully to the general looking solemn.

"Floyd, before we continue, I want to apologize for Shyam's behavior. As his trainer I'm responsible in part for his actions and I'm sorry." She stated softly but with resolve. The girl had a strong sense of duty and morals instilled in her by her parents, and the OME, and felt quite ashamed by how Shyam had treated Floyd and behaved in general. She'd been trying to go easy on the fox, let him be so that he might warm up to her but so far little had changed between them. Today had shown her that and she resolved to handle things differently from now on. But the girl did not wish to deal with him at this time, there were much more important matters at hand. The first of which was visiting an alien spaceship. The trainer only now began to fully comprehend Floyd's suggestion.

"Wait, your ship? All of us?" She stated slightly confused. Liz had never actually been on the scavian's spaceship before. It was a sort of surreal thought, being on an alien spaceship with an alien. She raised a brow at her companion and gave him a small smirk. "Um, okay then. Yea, I could do with a bit of a change up too." She agreed, stating the word change with a bit of bitterness in her tone. A certain dark fox wouldn't be joining them for the rest of this adventure.

((I can't remember what I did with Helsing so I'm plopping him back into his pokeball)

"Yeah! Why not all of us? I don't have a link to the league PC system though." Floyd said cheerfully. He was much happier now that they weren't underground. "And uh...don't worry about your pokemon. I live with Helsing. He's just as bad."

The alien laughed and activated the console on his gauntlet. A few ticks of his claws and the entire party found themselves in the transporter room on the Sunflare. The lab was just beyond and Floyd went straight for one of the computer consoles. He plopped three of his pokeballs on the counter and watched them disappear. Three new balls replaced them.

"There we go, a slightly more balanced team." He picked them up and shook his ugly head. "They don't really have much experience battling though. I prefer collecting more than beating things up." With a shrug he walked over to Liz. "Can't be helped. You ready to hit the pokecenter then?"

Behind him Til'k snuffled and snorted, glad to be home around familiar smells. He didn't seem too pleased to hear the alien mention leaving again so soon though. He whined sharply, tail banging on the metallic floor.

"Aw, I'm sorry buddy. You wanna see Mew some day, right? Well we gotta get the sparkly thing that it likes." He scritched the monster on the back of his head, right between two particularly itchy tentacles. The beast arched his back and thumped a foot with pleasure. Floyd turned to Liz. "Ready when you are!"

And in a flash they were on the Sunflare. The ship was quite different and very alien compared to any sort of aircraft Liz had ever seen before. Yet it had a strange beauty too it that she readily admired. Even though the girl preferred flight with her pokemon, she knew how to appreciate a fine airship.

The girl gawked a little as she followed after Floyd, checking out what she could along the way. Tansy and Raya followed suit, neither having seen the likes of this ship either. Liz nodded at Floyd's mentioning of the PC situation. That was alright with her, she doubted it'd take any time at all to pop over to the pokemon center with this baby, or so she assumed that was how he intended on returning to the center.

"Yea well you've a proverbial zoo as it is. I couldn't imagine being able to battle with all the pokemon you've collected anyway." She commented with a slight smirk. Liz didn't intend on 'catching them all' but there were several she was very interested in having for herself. Battling itself was a blast and she loved seeing what each of her pokemon could do. But in the end, her pokemon were simply her extended family since she had little in the way of family or friends.

"Yep, ready when you are." She answered still a bit distracted by the ship's interior. She wondered how big this thing really was. But now wasn't the time for ship exploring. They had another half of an emblem to find. This time it was Floyd's turn.

And fortunately it didn't take long at all to get back to the pokemon center. Liz darted in real quick already knowing what she wanted to do. After a quick transfer she returned to Floyd and the rest. She grinned a little to herself and released the occupant of her new pokeball plus the one containing her salamence. The girl glanced between them and they glanced at one another. With a crinkle of her nose Avery twisted into the air and flew a few feet from the group. Ryu quickly followed looking quite eager about this.

"So, those two are going to be a bit busy for a while but they'll be able to catch us up whenever if you want to get going." Liz informed her companion with a hint of a smirk. Now it was her turn to be playing pimp and getting her pokemon to make some eggs, or something.

Setting Krookodile's ability (never been used) to intimidate. It has 8 anger, so giving 3 watmel to bring happiness to 1.
Setting Galvantula's ability to Compound eyes (never been used).


One in the west "the old city center"
One in the north (Circular Watchtower)
Two in the east (Gate Towers) Some sort of brick puzzle was found in this one.
One in the southwest (Clock Tower - the remains are beside the new clock tower)

After transporting down to the street below, the alien waited with his genetic monstrosity on the street. He had discovered that the beast wasn't welcomed inside the human buildings. He made people nervous. Floyd couldn't imagine why. When he looked over at the creature, he found it preening itself like bird. The long needle teeth picked between scales with surgical precision. The alien chuckled to himself. Til'k was nothing like the full grown mindless monsters that had once rampaged through Opaddeka.

A light metallic tinkle alerted him to the Pokecenter doors opening. Little brass bells were tethered to the push bar by red ribbons. They rang softly as the human stepping through the doorway appeared. Floyd grinned, seeing that Liz's mission was complete. Two pokemon exited with her, but left her on the sidewalk, going off on their own. The girl quickly explained.

"I see!" he laughed. Breeding pokemon was no easy task and he silently wished the pair and their trainer good luck. "Guess we'd better check out one of the other towers. We have three other locations to explore."

Once more he brought up his holographic map with its ancient overlay of the city. "We could go to the guard tower, the gate towers or...the central tower." Tapped each spot with a claw, causing the image to pulse where the tiny beams of light detected his touch. "Any preference?"

In spite of being drunk off his ass a few hours earlier, Floyd seemed fine now, and brought out a pokeball. A quick tap released a Charizard with a surely disposition. Pyro took in the city street with its ornate, proud buildings, so recently restored to the former splendor, and huffed loudly, expelling a plum of smoke from each flaring nostril.

"You like to fly, right?" Floyd grinned, and patted the dragon on the back. Pyro hunkered down and allowed the alien to climb onto his back. Behind them, Til'k whined, unable to join them. Floyd released Helsing then. "Stay with Til'k, Hel. Bring him to us when we get there?"

Of course! I live to be the baby sitter of man eating monsters. Helsing grumbled and lit his pipe.

Flying was a frivolous luxury. He could have walked, driven, or even transported directly to any of the locations, but flying suited him because his friend had mentioned she liked it. He flicked his tail back and forth, eager to please.

"Hmm, what about the guard tower? Seems like the sort of place you'd hide something valuable." Liz suggested in response to Floyd's query. Then again maybe because the tower was so obvious it would be the wrong place to look. Still couldn't hurt to check.

Liz was glad Floyd was looking less green around the gills. He did seem a lot more collected now too. She smirked a little and nodded enthusiastically at the mention of flying. It was more or less her passion so yea, she liked it. The girl beamed at the scavian's charizard. He reminded her of her own charizard Ayden and momentarily felt a bit guilty about not taking him out more often.

Liz loved fliers, but there was something about dragons, including charizard, that simply thrilled her. Maybe it was their link to fairy tales or because her first flying experience was on the back of a dragon. And that was probably why she almost always had one with her now.

"My aren't you a handsome fellow." Liz stated to Pyro giving the charizard a glowing smile. She chuckled a little in spite of herself then scanned the area for her pair that'd run off. The brunette pursed her lips a moment then put two fingers in her mouth and let out a sharp whistle. "My pair shouldn't be but a minute, probably still trying for that egg."

Which they indeed were. They figured they had enough time for one more try before heading back. Neither of the two really wanted to return empty clawed but it wasn't like they couldn't pick back up later. So as soon as they were done the two dragons raced back to Liz, egg or no egg so the group could continue on their excursion.

The big orange lizard canoodled up to the nice lady and purred deeply, his chest rumbling like a distant earthquake. The alien gawked at the silly display from the dragon's back. Pyro never acted like that around him. The charizard, as far as he knew, was a cold, grouchy, heartless fiend that loved no one. Seeing him snuggle up like an overgrown kitten was just...weird.

While Floyd gaped at the display, Liz's frolicking pair returned victorious, toting an egg between them at last, and signally that it was time to go.

"Uh..Pyro..buddy. Ready when you are, pal." Floyd patted the beast's heaving side uncertainly.

The dragon's head jerked up, his eyes narrowed and his nostril's flared. Twisting his long neck, he turned his head and stared directly into the alien's teeth. He snarled, and expelled a cloud of black smoke, coating the General's face in soot and leaving him choking and gagging as the monster's wings began to beat the air.

Still coughing, and wafting at the smoke, Floyd tried to sight his human friend. "The guard towers sound fine to me!" he called out between choking spells. "Pyro, follow Liz!"

They lifted off from the ground, leaving the genetic mishap and the cynical psychic watching from the sidewalk. The pair on the ground watched the party in the air vanish into the distance.

If I were a betting man, Helsing spoke up, I'd bet Floyd breaks something before he gets back.

The geneticore, as much as he hated to agree, nodded sadly by way of reply. They sighed in unison and waited for their summons.

"Aww aren't you a big sweetie." Liz cooed to the charizard and firmly stroked his muzzle. The girl grinned and looked up as Ryu and Avery appeared circling overhead. Avery dipped down and passed her the gleaming light blue egg. The trainer eagerly accepted it then glanced to Floyd and offered it to him.

"Floyd, you wanted a dratini egg right? For the live 'dex?" Liz inquired recalling him requesting a dratini egg at her digital shop sometime back. It had taken a long time to acquire said egg but it was the scavians if he still wanted it.

Avery dropped down beside Liz when the girl was ready to take to the air. Liz swung over the dragonite's back and the pair shot into the sky with one beat of the dragon's powerful wings. Liz let out a whoop and laughed as Avery did a flip before turning and speeding off toward the old guard tower.

The surge of Avery's wings made Liz feel alive and she closed her eyes enjoying the wind whipping through her hair. One could plainly see her love of flying and the girl felt totally at ease in the air. It certainly didn't take them long to reach the guard towers. The day was growing long and evening had slowly begun settling in on them. Looks like this venture would be as dark as the last.

"Eh?" Floyd shouted back. "Oh! A dratini you say? Of course. I would live to have one if you can spare it. What would you like for it?"

The dragon soared ever higher until he crested the cool misty clouds above. Like an orange gem tossed into the air, he spy hopped above the thick mist and then dropped back down again. Pyro then began a slow spiral towards the town, following the city's walls. As he neared the ground again, two towers came into view. They were high, blocky things that reminded Floyd of a castle with their parapets and balustrades.

Unlike the clock tower, these structures were still very much occupied, and humans in uniforms could be seen marching around the portal into the city. This was the city's own personal armed guard, a division resurrected directly after the city had recovered from the Jgsei war. Exploring these buildings, no matter how historical, was not likely to be as simple as walking through the front door - unless of course you happened to be Military.

At last, their jar-head backgrounds would finally be of some use - at least he hoped. The Escennia Armed Guard was independent of the National one.

"Should we introduce ourselves?" Floyd asked Liz with a mischievous grin.

"Hmm, you don't really need to anything give me anything, but I usually set a fee of around three thousand zenni for rare pokemon, or whatever is equivalent." Liz replied prior to Avery's take off. She didn't really want to charge Floyd for the egg but if he wanted to trade something or pay her for it it would be appreciated.

The tower was busier than Liz had expected. Still the old tower loomed rather ominously in the growing darkness. She recalled the last time she'd encountered Escennia's personal guard, and her military status hadn't meant squat to them then. Hopefully Floyd would have better luck. Being a General tended to carry a lot of weight. As she was still just a Captain the girl ddin't expect too much recognition. She'd still like to advance further one day though, preferably to a Colonel. But that would take time and she was still on leave to focus on training.

"Love to, I'd like to see them try turning you away." The girl chuckled as Avery darted ahead and dropped in a spiral toward the tower. From here she could already see the perplexed looks on the guards faces. An idea struck the trainer and she smirked to herself then waved to the guardsmen closest to her.

"Officer, attention! General Floyd of the OME is en route to this facility! I suggest you inform your commanding officer to allow him and myself full access to the tower. Understood?!" The young Captain called down loudly to those watching her approach. She was hoping their showy enterance would help to intimidate the group there and that they would encounter no interference with their desire to explore the tower.

"Three, you say?" called Floyd. "Sounds reasonable. When we're through here, maybe we can make the exchange. Really good of you to do this for me. Thanks again!"

The Escennia Armed Guard, those men stationed at the top of the tower, gaped in open mouthed horror as the pair descended from the heavens, the foremost shouting orders as she took the lead. Not sure what to do, they jumped to attention, saluting the pair as they landed on the parapet walk.

"Nice job..." Floyd grinned at Liz, impressed by her commanding presence. She sure knew how to put on the 'don't mess with me' face.

One of the guards was heard whispering to his fellow, "Do we answer to these guys?"

"I don't know! Where's the Chief?" He was clearly afraid NOT to answer to them, just in case.

"Went for coffee, of all the times..." spat the first.

"Shhhh, here they come!"

Pyro landed heavily, his great wings flapping like sheets in the wind. The orange alien slid off the monster's back and padded across the hot stones to the two men. He was dressed as a civilian but there was no mistaking what he was, and therefore, who he was.

"At ease." he mumbled a little awkwardly. These were civilians themselves, and technically not his to command. "Where is your commanding officer? We're here to investigate the legend of Mew. Your guard tower may very well play a part in its history. We need unrestricted access to this and the other structure." He tried to stand straight and...well not tall. Floyd was a bit on the short side when stood next to the average human - a fact that ruffled his scales frequently.

The two men relaxed and exchanged looks. The one to the right spoke for the both of them. "Chief Ragen is out on lunch. He'll return in an hour."

"And the next in command?" Floyd pressed.

"Went with him sir. It's only the two of us on the parapet today, two more inside each of the towers."

"Well then, soldier. You know the situation. The matter is left in your hands." He crossed his arms and scowled up the human, waiting to see if he would break, or make them wait for this Chief Ragen.
