"Mm...yeah I regret asking." GRAY responded to Terashi. "Any who, I have something better. Take a look." With that said GRAY's Porygon would suddenly jump out of whatever device Terashi had on him, SNAG, Pokedex or anything. The Porygon would rotate its head to face the human while its body remained facing the other way. Manifesting floating in front of its 'beak' was a piece of paper, the email GRAY was so interested in someone reading.

Veronica came in with a rather tired look on her face. It wasn't normal, something had happened, but it was a tale for a future time. "Sub?" She asked around until finding him. "Ah," she glanced at Ter and Reno. "Good, one of you lads can do some explaining for me. What is this?" She made notion to the email, "How does it work?" Truthfully, she never received emails except for spam so she assumed this too was spam, except they seemed to already be chatting about it.  

[Reno Vantas]

Reno would look down at himself for a moment before remembering that he hadn't exactly been forthright with his allies on what had gone down on his last bit of training. "Just a bit of martial arts training. Picked it up after my last trip abroad and just trying to make sure I stay on top of it. Don't know exactly when I might need to fight a little more physically." Reno explained, slowly stretching and rotating all of his limbs excluding his left arm. "Really wish I had my left arm then to really get that integrated in better....." Finally remembering he was also speaking to Terashi, Reno added, "Yeah, obviously. I'm not doing something this big with an even bigger handicap than necessary."

"Dear Darkrai, what happened to you? What have you been up to?" He asked, startled by the Co-Leader's sudden arrival and his appearance. When Veronica showed up and questioned about the email he turned his focus to her, giving Reno just a few side eye glances to make sure he hadn't gone back to his old more erratic ways.

"Long story short we're invited to a tournament of which we must sign up as a team and work together to survive in the wilderness to collect something called Wishing Pieces to form a Wishing Star, said star will be given to one of our battle inclined teammates so they can go onto the next round with us having the ability to collect more to send more comrades forward. Of course we'll have to compete with other teams for the pieces and obviously clash with them at times. Why? You interested?" He smiled.

"Seems we've all been busy." Veronica mumbled. "Yea, I'll join. Might as well test and push my pokemon forward." Though she could only hope they were capable of passing that first challenge, that would be enough for her. "Sounds... okay. Where are we meeting up for this again?" She cleared her throat, trying to get into the mentality of a tournament. Gosh that seemed like an endless event. "Also, did you hear about this place called Galar?" Though, truthfully, she hoped Sub or someone would fill her in as she had no clue if she even pronounced Galar correctly. It had simply been a place she heard about from passing conversation and turned out to be a whole new region she never visited before. It was understandable on some level, she spent most of her time between Johto and Kanto.  

[Cecile Silverstone]

Leon listened to Sub, he was kind of getting interested. But not enough to join. "With Alola, I know we had restrictions on Pokemon. But it wasn't that heavily imposed." The child said as she thought of the Wild Area in Galar. A whole terrain to adventure. It really interested her. She then looked at Ter and Reno who was still having their rivalry. "Uhm...I guess I'll join Sub. I hope I can at least make it far for Snagem."  

[Requiem of Whyspers]

Odd would be sitting in his and Lykas' room, looking at his SNAG and wondering what was going on. He had received the same email as everyone else regarding this new tournament but he had one major problem with it all. He couldn't read the thing. "I hope Lykas gets back up here soon... It's unusual for me to get written messages since most of the team knows I can't read them." He said to himself, expecting this must be something important or something that came from outside Snagem itself.

Wren would find himself reading over the email while tending to some of the plants on the mountainside. "You think I should participate?" He asked Lum, who he was assisting. "Bi!? You could maybe find one of those apples your little worm friends needs? Definitely worth considering, at least, bi." Lum replied with a small laugh as he watered a small shrub. Wren considered that fact as he moved on to another plant and began to apply a small amount of fertilizer.

Kaya read over the email he had received as well, looking curiously at it. "I want to visit my homeland but... I don't know about participating in any tournament." He told himself, curious about it all but not enough to just jump into it.  

[DignityPower]

"Great, I'll be asleep until then!" she grinned, already feeling a yawn coming up. "Though if there are any restrictions, I'd appreciate a reminder on that. I don't tend to get the memos." She shrugged and left, deciding to take a stroll through the halls and the living room to look up stuff on Galar and Alola.

Gima had received the message about the tournament on his SNAG, GRAY was snipping at him to hurry or give up. As Gimas long white hair wth a dose of black at the tips , He smiled and darted to the room the dark one was in , " Abit late to the party it seems I got the message to my SNAG so, a new tourny is coming up?" gima asked the boss, not paying much attention to the others except for reno, "You forget I aim to be number one of all, Nothing will stop me from growing in power. " he darted his eyes speaking to the red head then turned toward terashi, " as for you, Psychic number 2 , You are first on the list to go down." Gima exaled as Moonblade His honchkrow came from its pokeball, "KROOOW" the bird shouted , now expanding it's wings at terashi.

Jezebel was holding the mysterious egg that was received from a foreign land. It suddenly started shaking, before Jezebel knew it she was holding a Sizzlipede. It started crawling around exploring it's new environment. Crawling back onto Jezebel's lap, she realized it was warm and cozy. Thinking for a moment, she thought about a name, "I'll call you Hotpad."

((Hope this is alright!))

Brian stood outside the place he hoped was the HQ for Team Snagem. He'd seen several people going in and out of the area, so he assumed this was the right place. Fighting his way through Mount Silver had been quite taxing, but he was still standing strong. His Riolu, Lu, was hunched over, breathing lightly after having been chased by several Golbat that had been startled by a stray Rock Throw from a Graveler they'd been battling.

The shallow cut on his left arm stung a bit under the bandages as they walked toward the building, the result of getting too close to the wall of the caves they'd come through. It wasn't anything he hadn't dealt with before, so this didn't really phase him. Still, he was glad Lu wasn't hurt any more than she was, given how long they'd been battling and how Lu sometimes liked to pick fights with bigger Pokemon. As he walked inside, he could see a girl sitting nearby, holding a Pokemon he'd never seen before.

"Greetings and welcome to Team Snagem HQ." A voice spoke to Brian walked in through the automatic steel doors beyond the waterfall which hid them inside Mt. Silver cave. He felt like someone was watching him the entire time and now his hunch was confirmed with the welcome he promptly received. "Made it here in one piece, didn't you? That's good, I guess you aren't as lazy as the rest of this lot." The voice went on, sounding as if it had numerous sources through out the building. It was coming from speakers in the building, an intercom system. And why did the voice sound inhuman?

"I am GRAY, a guidance resource and assistance yielding AI, provided you hadn't already figured out yet that I wasn't just some person talking to you over a microphone." He explained. "Rather I'm a failed Porygon3 upgrade unable to exist outside of digital space but that's besides the point. You must be the new recruit, Brian. Are you or your Pokemon wounded?"

Brian started slightly at the voice that spoke suddenly as he walked into the building. He'd felt like someone was watching him, and this confirmed it, though he wasn't sure if it was a real person or an AI. When the voice introduced itself as GRAY, an AI, or more accurately, a failed Porygon3 upgrade, then identified him and asked if he or his Pokemon were wounded, the trainer shrugged. "Yes, I'm Brian," he said. "I've got a shallow cut on my arm, but I'm more worried about Lu than myself. She could use some healing before I get seen to."
