Team Snagem HQ (Mt. Silver)

"Uh... the church?" A befuddled-sounding voice came from across the line and out the speakers in the main room, familiar to the Snagems who had been responsible for his rescue from Meteor Falls and also those who had met him in his lab on an earlier excursion. There's some static as Professor Cozmo adjusts the receiver on his end, attempting unsuccessfully to muffle his end of the conversation from the Snagems as he talks to someone else. "I thought you said this was a secure line to... you know...?"

Another rush of static fills the speakers before another voice comes through, after Cozmo hands the phone to them. "Hello, this is the same place the Devon Corporation contacted last time, correct?" Bulder's deeper tone fills the room, the agent's concern that something may have happened to his only connection to this vigilante team clear in his voice as he addresses the gathered group.

"Tell them I have the information for them!" Cozmo's voice insists in the background, as he attempts to yell into the earpiece over Bulder's shoulder.

"Yes, yes, we have to make sure it's them first..." Mully's calm tone comes through too, even though the female agent was barely above normal volume. "We can't be too careful nowadays considering the circumstances..."

"Oh, good, for a second there, I thought we were getting another dose of smug with a heaping helping of our noses being rubbed in something like a bunch of dogs," Aden remarked, "Yeah, we're the same ones you've contacted before. You sent us that same document you gave to HAZARD and all the other day, I think."

Cera would just keep her mouth shut for the moment, lamenting her reliance on either telepathy or transformation just to avoid every human just hearing the word "mew" instead of what she was really saying.

Ryan comes out of his room and heads through the main area. He looked a little worse for wear. The events at Meteor Falls had taken it's toll on him. He needed to get away. And there was only one person and place that could bring him some peace. He was heading for the front door, holding the pokeball of Aerial, his Dragonite, in his hand.

Sub had just entered the main area as Ryan was heading towards the door. The Snagem leader had planned on seeing who called despite wanting to talk to Blizz a little bit more. Now he had another distraction to occupy himself with. "Going somewhere?" He called out to Ryan.

Ryan stops, even though he knew he shouldn't. "Yes, is that a problem?" the channeler asks of Sub.

Ryan stops, even though he knew he shouldn't. "Yes, is that a problem?" the channeler asks of Sub.

"No, not particularly. Where you going?" He asked water boy.

"My place to go when things even here get far too hectic. My Sanctuary, if you will." Ryan says, the weariness even present in his voice.

Sub stared at Ryan good and long, an eyebrow cocked as he did. "...Skyla?"

Ryan sighs a bit in defeat and smirks. "Is it really that obvious? I am that open of a book?" he asks of Sub.

Ryan sighs a bit in defeat and smirks. "Is it really that obvious? I am that open of a book?" he asks of Sub.

"Eh, not particularly. It's just that you go nowhere else outside of missions." Sub said with a smile.

Ryan nods with a smile. "This last mission. It was draining and demoralizing. I need to get back up. And seeing her always seems to smooth away all ills. I'll keep my SNAG on and nearby if you need me, but if you could, let me have some time." Ryan says with a huge exhale.

Sub just shrugged in response to Ryan's request. "Go right ahead, wet head. I'll see you later."

Ryan sighs and heads outside. Once clear of the cave, he calls out Aerial. The Dragonite hugs Ryan and he hugs her back. "It's been awhile, hasn't it?" Ryan says as he he rubs her snout. Aerial nuzzles the touch. Ryan chuckles and then climbs onto her back. "Time to head for Mistralton. " Ryan says. As Aerial takes off, his thoughts turn to both Skyla and the pendant he is always wearing.

After several hours of travel, Ryan and Aerial would begin their approach to Mistralton. It was always disorienting travelling to and from Unova. The crossing of the Dateline would always flip things. Like this trip? He left Jhoto in the afternoon. Now? The sun was just starting it's way up. Nothing like the fresh morning air to bolster and help waken one after a slight in-flight nap. And if Ryan was lucky? "I will catch a certain sleepyhead before she wakes." Ryan thought with a smirk as they landed outside the Pokemon Center.

As Ryan walked into the Center, the Joy there would look up. A finger to his lips and a wink would earn a giggle and a shake of a head from the Joy. Ryan would make his way out a back door, leading to a path that connected to the nearby Gym. This was used in all cities where this was possible, making for a quick way to connect Gym Leader to Pokemon Center.

Ryan would quickly make his way over to a door and enter. This was the Gym Leader's Quarters. Basically, this was their home. Skyla had it decorated to suit her personality. Ryan sets down his gourd and takes off his jacket and Snagem Electronics (Snag and Snag Machine). He would also remove his shoes. Socks allowed for quieter movement. The young man would make his way to the back of the area to a ladder. Skyla's bedroom was a loft, fitting in even more with the fact she was the Flying Type Gym Leader. Ryan climbs up and tiptoes his way over to her bed. He then sits down next to her, He leans in to whisper in her ear. "Hey there, Sky Girl." he would say.

Aile eyed the ceiling as the three people spoke. "Yes, this would be. Snagem's base of operations hasn't had anything happen to it yet, agents. What's this news," She'd ask, her interest getting piqued.

"Well, I would be much preferring if you could come and meet me in person, if that was all the same to you." Cozmo explains, grabbing the receiver from Bulder. "Due to unforeseen circumstances vis a vis the destruction of my lab, no doubt due to that... other team who had been coming to the falls to kidnap me I am convinced. Imagine my surprise when I got back to Fallarbor and the ruins of my lab smoking in the morning sun was the first thing to greet me!" The professor clears his throat, clearly uncomfortable considering the alternative. "But, thanks to all of your swift action escorting me out of the tunnels in the Meteor Falls I could stay out of their hands, and now the information they desired I can share with you, maybe it will help?" The professor's voice sounded hopeful, but a bit fearful nonetheless. "However, over the phone I will not tell you about it. In person, only."

There's a brief click where Mully takes the phone back from Cozmo, her voice coming through clearly over the scientist's now that she had the receiver. "And that leads us to Devon Corporation, and a bit of an update for our favorite on-the-run vigilantes. We've got a bit of good news, a bit of okay news, and a bit of a favor to ask of you all again. Which part would you like first?"

"Jeez, and I thought it was bad that I used a window to get inside instead of a door," Aden commented. "We've got no problem speaking in person, though. Might be a smarter idea... anyway, I guess start with the favor?"

Cera kept herself quiet, but she wasn't quite so sure about the news. The favor didn't surprise her a bit after already helping them before, though she wasn't sure just what it would be this time. Only that chances are it meant being neck deep in HAZARD personnel.
