Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Eevee retrieved need to be taken back to their original owner. Except one problem, their owner, Bill, has been taken hostage. After we saved the Eevees in Celadon City, those same black clad mobsters have broke into Bill's Cerulean Cape home and taken him hostage, boarding him up in the house and demanding the Eevee be brought back to them, especially the stray without a Pokeball, not sure why that one is so important.

The police have the house surrounded and are trying to negotiate with the mobsters. This is the perfect opportunity to break in and save Bill ourselves. Your mission is this, head to Cerulean Cape and get past the police barricade and break into the house undetected. Find Bill inside and escape with him. It should be noted that Bill's house has a basement filled with all sorts of machines and gadgets that pertain to the Pokemon Storage Network and is difficult to get through, a giant maze of machines, so it's likely they are keeping him hidden in there.

Be careful when going in, these mobsters don't play fair, they go for blood, the trainer's. You must also be careful not to let them harm Bill, or his machines. Also, do not like the police catch you either, they intend to send in their own special ops unit and if you cross paths, you'll be arrested.

Objective:
---Break into Bill's Cerulean Cape home and save him.

Opposition:
---Mob members on in the inside, they use Rattata, Raticate, Ekans, Arbok, Sandshrew, Sandslash, Zubat, Golbat, Grimer, Muk, Drowzee, Hypno, Koffing, Weezing, Oddish, Gloom, Machop, Machoke, and Houndour. They specialize in Poison moves as well and like to attack the enemy trainers and put them in danger.
---The Cerulean Police, they use Squirtle, Wartortle, Psyduck, Golduck, Poliwag, Poliwhirl and Staryu, they'll try to put you to sleep with Hypnosis by the ducks and Polis and arrest you.

Pokemon:
---You may snag one Pokemon.

Rewards:
---Snag Coins, more people who join in, more rewards.

(Remember, this is an Urgent Mission. I won't control the opposition, those who participate do, so work together and get it done before time is up!)

Lykas had decided to go see about the situation with Bill. He'd been informed, by GRAY, about the incident in the tower in Celadon. Kaya had wanted to go, feeling like he was somehow responsible for it but the hybrid refused to allow it.

"You're not that skilled yet and this is going to be a dangerous mission." He'd told the older man, arms crossed in protest. Kaya had, of course, put up an argument but Lykas refused to give in. Kaya eventually conceded and walked off to the kitchen, decided that, if he couldn't go on the mission, he'd go get food instead.

"Ready?"

"Yep. Thanks for coming, Odd. Your skills ought to come in handy here." Lykas responded as he walked outside with the Channeler, who released his Golurk once they were outside the cave.

"Dissonance, we need you to carry us to Cerulean City in Kanto. Think you can do it?" Odd asked of his partner, getting a nod in response. "Luuuuuuuurk."

"No problem, Lykas. I'm glad to help, especially since I missed out on the last mission." Odd replied, climbing into one of Dissonance's hands when the Golurk lowered them. Lykas smiled at his partner before climbing into the huge Ghost's empty hand.

"And away we go!" Odd shouted, pointing skyward before he braced himself for take off. Lykas followed suite, preparing for the impending flight.

With a peek behind her, she noticed some few following her. Oh well, that better be other members. As the sky darkened, she urged BlackCrystal to fly faster even if the shade was nice. Veronica eventually reached the old Cerulean City. "So I just go North?" She wondered to herself, returning BlackCrystal to his pokeball. She dragged herself over to the bridge, taking it slow so that the others could catch up -and she wasn't in any hurry anyways.

On the other side of the bridge, she could hear the commotion and the police sirens even at her distance. Well, I could wait till it starts to rain or for the night but... Veronica contemplated climbing up the wall to enter from the back and avoid at least some of the police officers.

"Ready for trouble?" Allen asked as he sent out Beck, his Koffing. He placed the thrusters of his hoverboard facing the plethora of police officers and turned it on max power. "Make it double." Beck and Zest would both begin blowing a Smokescreen into it, the force of the hoverboard thrusters sending the combined attack forward. If this worked then they'd get smokescreeened and Allen could jump the fence in. If not... err... well he made a distraction for the others. Hopefully.

Odd, disguised as his alter-ego, Sterling, walked up to the building with Lykas at his side and tapped on the door very lightly. "Seems like it's fairly thick. Give me a sec." He announced before he phased through it, Lykas hiding him from the view of the police. Allen's smokescreen helped a lot, allowing the Channeler to open the door from the inside, allowing Lykas inside, who left the door closed but unlatched so Allen could enter after them.

Once inside, Odd dropped his disguise and phased through the floor, partway, looking around the basement. He emerged a few moments later with a worried expression on his face. "Veronica's in the basement. One of the thugs has her cornered and he's got a gun." He informed Lykas, who nodded and followed him to the stairs, which he'd seen from under the floor.

Heading down, the duo saw their friend in trouble rather quickly, Odd responding by using his illusions to blend into the environment around him. "Let's go." He said quietly, rushing towards the girl.

Lykas followed Odd down the stairs. "Stay hidden for now and go find Veronica. She might need help." Odd told Lykas before he jumped on top of a nearby machine.

Lykas nodded and headed down the stairs, darting along behind machines with footsteps as quiet as a Persian's. He peeked around the corners and crawled along the floor where necessary but ultimately reached Veronica without much trouble. "Don't freak out, please." He requested quietly as he walked up behind her. He wasn't sure if she'd recognize him as a Snagem or not, especially since he'd become a hybrid, so he wasn't taking chances.

Odd, on the other hand, was playing the unnerve the opponent tactic. He walked along the tops of the machines until he found the goon who'd shot at his teammate, using his illusions to blend in with the darkness around him. When he got close, he dropped to the floor, Cadenza released from his ball and waiting above the machines. "I think you should put that little toy away." He suggested, walking towards the man while he dropped his camouflage.

"And who's going to make me?" The goon asked, pointing his gun at Odd now.

"That's a fancy little toy, I have to admit." Odd said as he closed the distance. The goon with the guns hand started to shake as the creepy Channeler drew nearer to him, showing no fear and pulled the trigger. The gunshot rang out through the building but when Odd never flinched and showed no signs of having been hit at all, it was followed by several more.

"You really think that's going to stop me?" Odd asked, his voice dark and filled with the sound of a sadistic demon. "You have no idea the forces you are toying with." He announced as he became tangible once again and used his illusions once more. His body slowly bubbled up and enormous wings erupted from his back, black as pitch with blood red spikes in places as a gold helmet formed around his head, liquid gold oozing out of his very pores in order to claim their rightful place. "Bill and I are very close, you see. I'm afraid if you harm him, you'll have to pay a very steep toll."

The goon's scream was cut short, before it even had the chance to escape his lips. Odd's Cubone, Beat, had struck him down with Double Edge from behind. So distracted had the man been that he'd failed to hear the sounds of multiple Pokeballs opening. "Good job, Beat." Odd praised, rubbing the Cubone's skull affectionately as he picked up the goon's gun. It was a limited edition Luger Long Barrel. Very rare and very expensive. "I'm going to keep this, thank you very much." He said to his victim as his illusion dropped, his voice returning to it's normal sound. He didn't normally try to change the sound of it(it had to be done physically since his illusions only altered appearance.)

"Let's go find Lykas and Veronica now." The Channeler was already sounding tired. That illusion had taken a lot out of him. He was used to holding simple ones for a long time but one like that was a lot harder. Cadenza and Beat both followed after their master as he started searching the rows of machines for his comrades, thinking to himself that he should ask Sub about letting him hang on to that gun he'd just claimed.

She pulled back, momentarily frightened, but the hybrid hadn't followed to attack her and -actually, wasn't that the hybrid from before? "Oh.. Who are you again?" Veronica felt clueless. Ah, wait- Her Jellicent soon followed up and used Water Pulse to put out a few of the machines along the way. The lights started to flicker.
