"Good, once you all have your new SNAG take the canal exit. It's too obvious to use the drop chair to get back up, so I made a tunnel that leads to the canals in Lumiose City. It leads you out towards the way back of North Boulevard. Just jump on the pole over there." He said, pointing to the pole in the corner of the room- wait when did that get there? "It will drop you into the tunnel to get out."

"Ah, in that case," Sol stopped, pocketing the ball for now and taking to the pole instead and working his way down.

Amaranth would soon follow after Cera managed to climb onto her shoulder again. There was no way she was trying to use a pole in the odd form she was in right now, and while making Sub squirm did seem like fun, now wasn't the time.  

[Reno Vantas]

Looking to the pocket containing his older SNAG and examining the new one, Reno began the debate of whether to upgrade or not. While it would be nice to have the upgrade, the older one had managed to survive for a while.Stuffing the older one deeper in his pocket, Reno grabbed a newer SNAG before saying, "Old one got filched by the cops before I got back fer the reunion. Woulda handed it over otherwise. But I got Leslie's here and Aria got the upgrade early." Throwing the other new SNAG to Leslie, the pair quickly reconvened before rushing the pole simultaneously. Giving simultaneous roars of panic and adrenalin, the two smashed into each other, then the pole, and proceeded to slowly slide down as they both grumbled in pain.

Isaac rolled his eyes, Sub was certainly one for the theatrical. Sighing, he grabbed a hold of the pole, and slid down. It was such a low-tech method of transport. He had argued for something else, but Sub was a persistent and stubborn b*****d, and had refused to relent.

Tunnels? North Boulevard? Veronica seemed confused at first, she had only seen Lumiose City once around and she was almost sure she would get lost underground. Veronica reacted when she saw Ryan wave and waved back before heading over to slide down. Yes! Fun! As soon as she hit ground, she sent out her Lucario to accompany her through the tunnel. Surely Havoc would have an easier time knowing where the other members were going since she took some time to leave space between her and Isaac, one of the guys she didn't recognize.

Sub would follow after the Snagems, running up to them and eventually past any slow moving ones. The tunnel they went down slopped upwards away from their underground base and eventually led to a wall it seemed. The Snagem leader though ran straight for the wall and passed right through it! "It's a hologram!" He shouted back at the Snagems as he was now in the canal exit, what a show off. Taking a turn around the corner and finding him on the outside in the canal, here there was only about a two foot walk between the canal wall and the water below, luckily there was a nearby ladder to climb up. "Centrico Plaza isn't far from here." He told the others as he climbed up the ladder.

And he was right, a short walk south from there would place them in the heart of Lumiose City, Centrico Plaza. Unfortunately, the plaza was so packed that it was nearly impossible to go from Magenta Plaza, which they would have to pass through, to Centrio Plaza was it was jammed packed. Sub would wait for the others by the Pokemon Center and once they arrived he spoke to him.

"Some of you gain an high vantage point to get a good look at the overall crowd. Others try to wander into the crowd and keep your eyes open. Be on the look out for anyone dressed in bright red suits or sporting similar red sunglasses, got it?" He asked them.

Ryan follows Sub and finally gets street side. "Well, i wouldn't be any good off the ground, so I am going to wander the crowd." Ryan says and heads off into the throng of people.

Amaranth had been hesitant about going through the wall until Sub revealed what it was, getting herself and Cera through it shortly after. Once those two caught back up to Sub, Cera would hop off Amaranth's shoulder and sit near Sub. Just to mess with him. Though, the two would soon go off for the crowds, with Cera making sure to stay as close to Amaranth as possible.

Sol, however, walked through that earlier wall without much of a care. But he was versed on a number of the HQ's nuances as it was. Instead of getting to the Pokemon Center, though, he went straight for the skies to see about getting a better view of things. Or at least to see about that better vantage point.

Isaac made his way into the crowd. Growing up in Goldenrod, he was used to large crowds, but this was by far the largest he had ever seen. However, the principle was the same, move in the general direction of everyone else if you wanted to get somewhere quickly, or unnoticed. Fighting the current of people would slow you down, and get you noticed.

As he moved through the mob, he tried to keep an eye open for anything that might match the descriptions of Team Flare that Sub had given them. Although they were only supposed to observe them for this mission, Isaac kept one hand on his Pokeballs, and the other on his oversize wrench, in case anything went wrong.

Ren and Kasumi each called out a Kirlia and indicated a rooftop and had their Kirlia teleport them up to it, where they could look down over the crowds and watch for the people Sub had ordered them to watch for. Their Kirlia even helped them to watch for the people.

Pacing faster, Veronica kept up with the others until they reached the stairs, "Thanks Spirit, return now." Ok, so that's the exit... She kept following along, enjoying the open air again. Even with the crowd, Lumiose City always seemed to stay fresh. "All right, I'm going up then." Veronica responded and sent out her Flygon. Anything to keep away from the clutter mess that the crowd was. She stayed just above the rooftops, having BlackCrystal calmly drift forward to get a better view of the people and anything that stood out.  

[Darksol88]

Sol was able to make out the blaring voice, having eventually landed on a roof of a building. He knew he'd stick out like a sore thumb regardless, but the vantage point allowed him to notice a little of what was going down. He wasn't sure if the protest was being fought or what, deciding he might want an extra set of eyes. To those ends, he sent his Charizard out. "Xipil, remain in the air," he spoke up, "I'll stick to the middle ground and try to get closer." He started running across the rooftops after that in his efforts, catching a glimpse of the Fletchinder carrying something. Trying to get its attention, he focused and raised a hand, firing a weak Thunderbolt into the air.


Amaranth tried her best to make her way through the crowd, close to the end of it. She had trouble seeing much due to the sheer volume of people, but Cera's lower point to the ground allowed her to catch the people a little easier. She'd try to brush Amaranth's leg to get her attention before taking off, using the crowd to her advantage to avoid being seen too easily. Luckily, the other Ho-oh hybrid was quick to follow, trying to figure out what was going on apart from a riot and what had to be an attempt to silence it.  

[Isaac Hawking]

Isaac looked up at the Fletchinder, hoping one of the others could deal with it. Standing in the middle of the crowd, he would only make things worse if he sent out his own Pokemon do deal with the problem. Then, to his satisfaction, he saw three water shuriken strike the bird. 'Good,' he thought, 'They seem to be on top of things.' Still... something didn't seem right.

Suddenly, a man pushed past Isaac, heading in the wrong direction. Even distracted by the bird Pokemon, Isaac still caught one distinctive feature: red glasses. As he turned to follow, he glimpsed another man in red glasses rushing out of the crowd in the same direction. The nagging sensation that something was wrong intensified. Hurrying after the pair, Isaac reached for his new SNAG, he called out to the team. "Hey, I've got a couple of red glasses, moving out of the crowd in a hurry. Anyone got eyes on them?"
