The next morning, finally getting closer to the actual time everyone else is on, Jessica rose and prepared herself for the day ahead. Showered, dressed, took inventory, doubly-secured her belongings and research, the usual. She made a quick stop downstairs; the hotel, thankfully, had a PC available for those who didn't want to make the trek to the Center, and there she organized her 'real' team. Lily, Rogue, Ray, Plume, Goro, Yami...Her old friends, reunited once more. Lily was her pokemon of choice for now, accompanying her through the hotel and up to Seamus's room with a swaying gait. A fragile dancer, nimbly dodging and performing in the heat of battle; far different from her slow, tank-like Yami and Goro, but variety was the spice of life.
The pair knocked on Seamus's door late in the morning, the professor hoping he would be ready to go. If not, she and Lily could always drag him out by force. They were very persuasive.

"... Are you sure? ... Check the documents again, I need to know exactly what I'm dealing with here... Yes... Yes..." The red haired youth said, a phone pressed tightly to his ear as he opened the door for Jess. He mouthed an apology and motioned that he shouldn't be preoccupied very much longer. He listened to the phone for a while longer, "Alright, make sure he's ready, as well as that item I spoke about before," he said, and then sighed, "Just do it.. good," he said, rubbing at his temples for a moment, "I'll let you know how this all turns out... No, I have to handle this myself," he said, turning off the phone with a sigh.
He turned to Jess with a grin, "Hello, Lass, are you ready to go?" he asked curiously, Looking at the pokemon by her side for a moment, "Oh, and who is this?" he asked curiously, an eye on the pokemon as he looked her over carefully.

Colt rushed over to where Arietta fell and looked down at the fallen man. It seemed he collapsed from exhaustion, at least from first glance. If that was the case it was safe to pick him up and move him. However, he was way too big to carry by himself. Without waiting for the others input, Colt reached into his jacket and tossed out Ares. "We need to get him out of here and to the nearest town right away!" Colt reached down and hooked the mans arm around his neck, while Ares took the other arm. "Oh boy," Colt grunted. "I could use some help over here!" Ares could handle holding the large man, but Colt was struggling to hold him up. Colt looked around at the Spinda. He was sure they wouldn't attack, but it would still be tricky to drag this guy over to Fallarbor with a bunch of dizzy bears in the way.

Arietta looks at Scim, "Colt, let Scimitar handle this." She motions for the pokemon, and the 5'7" sword wraps it's long tassels around the man, "He floats, and is big enough for this." Arietta starts forward, the giant floating sword close behind- shield on the tassel closest to the man's head. Moraya jumps on top of the man, and begins to check his body for wounds with her feelers. She yips when she finds no wounds, and Arietta begins to worry- perhaps the man had a stroke? Or didn't eat or drink? She hoped they got there in time. "Colt, you clear the path for us. Scim doesn't need any road bumps if a spinda or something decides to get in the way." She looked to Mami, "Mami, can you make sure nothing tries to sneak up on us?"

Mami Saito
Mami nods slowly, "Um, right," she said, and looked around, although she had no idea on how to do what Arietta asked. Truth be told, Mami was constantly being surprised by pokemon, on occasion even species that were foreign to a given area would end up finding her. She had no idea how but it still happened constantly. Particularly when Mami was worried or upset... as she was right now for example.
((Feel free to have something intimidating show up randomly in response to Mami's power. That is, if you want something like that to happen)

Colt happily let go of the man as the Aegislash took hold. He motioned to Lucifer towards the pack of Spinda, and just like that the Luxray jumped forward and barked, electricity sparking from its body. This scared off a large number of the spinda, sending them dizzily stumbling away. The fallen spinda from before had gotten up and wandered up beside Colt, falling at his feet. "Stop falling over all the time and make clear for now." Colt bent down and picked up the Spinda, moving it to the side. As he straightened back up, he heard loud flapping, and saw some of the ash from the grass get blown away. Colt looked up, covering his eyes from the ash, watching as a very large Salamance landed near the group. "What in the world is that doing here!?" Colt gestured towards Lucifer, and the Luxray turned to face the large, winged dragon, just in case it attacked. Most of the Spinda had fled when the dragon landed, but the clumsy Spinda from before stood by Colts leg, either really brave or really oblivious.

Jessica nodded, patting the Lilligant's flower. "This is Lily. One of my old friends." He would likely notice the full set of pokeballs on her person now, as well as the determined look in her eyes. She may be a professor now, but it seemed she'd always still be a trainer at heart. She did, however, seem curious at his conversation. "I presume you were talking to a friend of yours?"

Arietta yelped, "That thing would be awesome if it wasn't terrifying!" She backs up to Moraya and Scim, who seem to huddle together around her protectively. "Colt what is that thing?!" This was the exact opposite of what she needed when trying to rescue someone.

Bob was not a lazy shroomish, but the night before those two silly girls had been passing him back and forth and squeezing him in vicious ways... he was exhausted. Then with the thing between Mami and Arietta and the Disciple nonsense... Well, he had been hoping to take a nap... until literally his worst nightmare came flying on in, "Shrooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!" he screamed as at the top of his lungs, took a deep breath and started all over again.
Mami looked at the creature, gulping loudly, "Nice... terrifying lizard thing," she coaxed, trying to get the creature to calm down. She didn't recognize this pokemon... what was she going to do with something like this? "Uh... Maybe we should... run?" she suggested, not sure if that would just make the creature angry or what, but it was the only option she could come up with.

Seamus walker
He looked at her quizzically, "Mmmm... a friend? ... No, not him. I believe he respects me, but I don't count him as a friend... his grandmother... she was a good friend... very good," he murmured a sultry tone to his voice, "Sometimes I miss being a woman," he noted for no apparent reason. Then he smiled softly, "So, two options for travel: Helicopter or rocket powered giant," he offered, knowing which one he would choose if given the option.

Jessica isn't even phased by the 'woman' statement; he already came back from the dead, changing genders just seems trivial now. She took a moment to weigh the options. "...Goro would likely be stealthier than a helicopter, though not by much, and it would be preferable to have a Fire-resistant pokemon out upon confrontation. He shouldn't be too drained from the flight, though he usually just carries me...Still, Goro is the more flexible option in case things go awry." She half-muttered to herself, before nodding and speaking up again. "Goro it is."

"That thing right there is a Salamance, and long story short it is not something we want to fight at the moment!" Colt had thought about fighting it, maybe catching it. Lilith could easily take it on. But with the injured man and the two girls there was too much risk of collateral damage. "I say we just back away slowly and don't provoke it. Maybe it won't attack unless it feels like it is in danger." Colt slowly backed away and raised his hand at Lucifer flat palmed, signaling him to calm down and not attack. Apparently, the Spinda took this as a sign to attack, as it launched a psychic beam at the Salamance. The Salamance roared, fire seeming to form at its mouth. "You little knucklehead!" Colt glared at the Spinda, who seemed oblivious to what it did. "Now we run! Go!" Colt started to run, but at a slowed pace. If he got too far ahead, the two girls would be defenseless.

Arietta looks at Scim, "Scim, be prepared to use King's Sheild, Moraya- I the think looks like a dragon type pokemon. Be prepared to use moonblast, and look over Scim's shoulder- you're going to watch for if it attacks. Now go!" The two pokemon take off after Colt, while Arietta runs over to the Spinda that was still a bit oblivious to what it has done, and pick up the pokemon like it's a giant teddy bear. She invests some of her stored energy into her strength, and runs with the spinda, "Mami, come on!"
----
Elaine wakes up in the oaf's hotel room, completely refreshed and renewed. Leviathan was sleeping on the bottom of the bed, to big to fit on it but not caring in the slightest- old habits die hard. "Hon, wake up our roommate. I think it's time to get going." She heads to the bathroom to change, and while in there the arcanine howls and jumps onto Travis, trying to wake him up.

Mami Saito
Mami didn't waste any time in running right behind Arietta. This was not good, not good at all. Bob was still screaming for all he was worth even as Mami tried to get out of there. She had only gone a short ways when Tom came barreling in, grapping Mami by the uniform with his mouth and then flipping her up onto his back before he continued sprinting ahead on all fours, making very good time for such a large animal.
------- Seamus Walker
He nodded to the woman, "She's in Lavaridge, according to my sources," he said, and then walked outside, clearly disturbed by what else his sources had told him. "I wish to talk to her first, if possible," knowing it was probably a waste of time, but... he had to know for sure. If he couldn't change this situation... "If she won't listen to reason, I'll kill her myself," the man said, a grim expression on his face, not sure if he had the strength for what he knew he had to do.

"If you insist." Jess said casually, following him outside. She returned Lily before releasing Goro once more. "Goro, flight mode" As before, the golem knelt down and offered his hand to his trainer to help her onto her shoulder. He remained kneeling, awaiting the other human as Jess got comfy in her familiar seat.

Seamus Walker
The red haired man climbed onto the golem's back, looking around curiously, "What? No cupholders?" he asked casually, and then scratched his chin, a bit surprised to find a lack of facial hair before he remembered what had happened. "Lavaridge, here we come," he said, and sighed heavily. A part of him didn't want to do this, particularly knowing what he knew now... However, that was exactly why he had to be the one to do it. That was all there was too it.

Colt looked over his shoulder as he ran. The two girls seemed to be following close behind, but the Salamance was staying stationary, probably readying a flamethrower. If they could avoid the flamethrower they would probably be safe, unless it decided to pursue them. Colt turned around on his heel and faced the Salamance. "Lilith, get ready!" Colt watched as the Salamances flames started grew, until it eventually came out as a stream of heat. "Now!" Lilith launched a beam of ice at the fire, causing the flames to stop in their tracks and create a cloud of smoke. Colt returned Lilith to her ball and started running again, this time as fast as he could. Now that line of sight was broken, they had a chance to escape.
---
Travis got up, wide awake as the Arcanine jumped on top of him. He had fallen asleep in his clothes, as was usual; it was better if he had only one set of clothes until authorities began to recognize him again. "Your one big dog." Travis said, still half asleep. He tiredly stumbled out of bed walked over to Khan, who was still sleeping in the corner of the room. "Time to get up big guy." Travis knocked on the Rypheriors head, causing the pokemon to slowly open his eyes and rise. Travis stumbled over to the bathroom and tried to open the door. 'She must be getting changed or something.' Travis knocked on the bathroom door. "Hurry up in there, will you?!" He wasn't really himself when he was tired, barely able to think straight, at least to his standards.

Arietta runs over to Scim, Moraya, and the fainted stranger. Scim huddles close to her so she's in his King's shield radius, and they continue pounding on. She wasn't a fast runner- never was. Who needed to run when you were always with someone who had a Mega-evolving Lucario? Now she wished she had gotten more cardio. Sure, she could bench 125 pounds but she couldn't run her full speed for two blocks. At least her stored energy was elongating her endurance- but she was still hella slow.
--
Elaine stopped brushing her teeth- her hair still wet from the shower she took. Was this buffoon rushing her? In the mirror, she saw her eyes turn a fiery red, and took a deep breath- singeing her tooth brush. No, she wouldn't hurt him- he was to valuable an ally. She'd just remind him not to rush a lady. Making her finger red hot, she melted through the wooden door, and made it big enough for her eye to been seen through. "Do not rush a woman getting ready, dear." She cooed softly, and pluged the hole with a sopping wet rag- making the molten wood hiss.

Mami Saito
Tom was sprinting at top speed, catching up to Arietta in short order, "G-Get on, Tom can run a lot faster than us... and longer too," Mami said to Arietta although she hopped off of the Ursaring's back. She moved to the unconscious man's side, "Can Scim keep carrying him, or should we get him on Tom too?" she asked, not sure how fast Scim could move... or if Tom could handle three full people on his back while he ran... Whatever they did, it would be best if they all hurried, Mami wasn't sure if the Salmance was going to give up or come charging again... "I didn't know Hoenn had Pokémon like this," she said out loud, wondering how this have come about.

Colt looked over his shoulder as he ran. There was still smoke lingering from the attack, but he could faintly see the outline of the dragon flying off. seems it only attacked out of self defense. As he went to open his mouth, Colt paused. 'They seem to be moving pretty fast at the moment, why get them to stop?" He turned back and continued running. 'This can be a part of her training.'
---
Travis backed away from the door, still tired. "Okay, okay, fine." He wasn't conscious enough to register a reaction to her burning a whole in the door, so he just returned back to Khan. "Okay, time to wake up, the both of us." Travis raised his arms in a sparring position. Khan sighed then did the same. The two of them would often trade blows to wake each other up. While most would think that the Rypherior would obviously have the advantage, with Groudons powers Travis had enhanced endurance, so he could take most of the hits. The two began taking turns punching the other, with both of them recoiling after being hit.

Arietta shakes her head, "No, I need to be near my pokemon. You can go ahead. Scim can protect anything with the aid of King's Shield, so we'll be able to handle ourselves." She looks down at the Spinda in her arms, who was just relaxing like nothing was wrong. Stupid, little, idiotic spinda. Scim and Arietta continue as fast as they can, until the next town comes into view. "Oh thank god." Arietta was breathing hard, her cheeks flushed. Oddly enough, she wasn't sweating- she attributed this to her powers, since they were naturally cooling, but wasn't really sure if this was them. She looks behind her and sees no Salamence. "It stopped following us!" She yells to Mami and Colt, who were ahead of her.
--
Elaine finishes her routine, and come out looking brand new and beautiful- like always. She seemed to have a bit of an unnatural glow to her- but that was because her insides were literally on fire. She wasn't much of a morning person. She observes the two idiots fighting, and raises a brow. "What in the name of the gods are you doin', hun?"

Goro rose to a standing position once Seamus was on. "Goro, to Lavaridge Town, due north. Increase speed twenty percent." The professor ordered, her pokemon nodding. His hands and legs retracted into his body, bursts of energy came from the holes, and the golem took flight. It was a surprisingly smooth ride, though hopefully Seamus made sure to hold on...Lest he need to reform a new body from putty after hitting the ground. Jessica was well used to flying on her Golurk, steady on her perch on his shoulder.

Mami Saito
Mami didn't say anything as they ran, feeling... disappointed that Arietta had refused her help. It seemed that the small teen couldn't do anything of use... although that wasn't exactly something that should surprise her. Tom had already slowed to a fast walk, no longer able to hear the sound of the Salamance's approaching, he knew it was safe easily enough.

Seamus Walker.
Seamus remained quiet, keeping a firm grip on the golem, not really in the mood for speech at the moment. Dying was simple enough and it was inevitable even for him... killing on the other hand...

Colt turned around and headed back beside Arietta. "Come on, don't stop running now, the town is just in sight." He said jokingly. "You were running just fine before. The Salamance stopped following us a while back, but I thought you may as well do some extra running for training." He chuckled, then looked at the Spinda, which was waving at him. "Here, I'll take this guy off your hands so you don't have to carry any extra weight." Colt grabbed the Spinda from Arietta. The dizzy bear almost immediatly clung to his arm with a tight grasp. "Let go of me, you knucklehead!" Colt tried to shake the bear off his arm, but to no avail. Colt just sighed and held the bear.
---
"I'm training, what does it look like?" Travis pulled back and threw a strong right jab into the Rypheriors jaw in a hope to show off his strength. The punch sent the pokemon stumbling back dazed, but he returned the favor with a punch of his own, knocking travis onto the ground. "You show off." Travis mocked as Khan laughed. Travis got back to his feet and looked at Elaine. "You're looking pretty hot, if I may say so myself." Travis walked into the bathroom to wash up for when they headed out. "I won't be very long, so don't worry about waiting."

Arietta blushes, her ears turning red and cheeks becoming redder, "You...You Jerkhead!" She fumes, and takes off- faster than she's ever ran before (which is about a normal run pace for most people)- after Colt, "I'm gonna.. I'm gonna-!" She lets out a frustrated shout, only knowing that when she gets Colt she's going to beat him up to her best ability. Scim sighs, not tired in the slightest because of their previous pace, and continues to carry the man. Moraya lets out a high-pitches chortle, blatantly laughing at her owner.
-- Elaine watches as the man heads into the bathroom, and rolls her eyes. She looks at the Rhyperior and smiles, "Good job." She laughs slightly, and walks towards the door, "I'm going to go for a walk. I'm sure that you'll be able to find me if I'm not back by the time you're done in there." Elaine motions for Laviathan, and the Arcanine diligently follows her. The two head outside and observe the town- no one looked at them suspiciously, so she figured she was still in the green for being in hiding. Silently, she and her pokemon just walk about, getting a breath of fresh air and observing the town peacefully.

Mami Saito
Mami followed behind the other two, "Shouldn't we get him to a hospital?" she asked, a little worried about the unconscious man. She knew a little first aid, and had watched her father look after hundreds of patients, but there wasn't much she could do for this guy at the moment... they needed a real doctor for that.

Colt sped up and yelled back at Arietta. "You're gonna have to try harder than that if you want to catch up!" He let out a cheerful laugh. They were almost at town, and Scim was carrying the man at a steady pace. Why not have some fun if it isn't going to change anything? As Colt reached the outskirts of the town he looked down at the Spinda still clinging to him. "Would you mind letting go of my arm?" Colt shook his arm lightly and the spinda let go, tumbling forward. The Spinda got back up and grabbed Colts foot, causing him to fall over mid sprint. "What are you doing, you dizzy fool?!" Colt shook his leg, trying to get the bear off of him so he could get back up to run.
---
Travis exited the bathroom after washing up and headed back over to Khan. "Well, time to go on a journey with our newly met babe. I have a feeling she will want to move fast, so you will need to go back into your ball." Travis returned Khan into his pokeball and walked outside, seeing Elaine examining the town. "Hey babe, I'm all ready to go. Whenever you are ready we can head out." Travis was surprised that there were no cops around. They could be planning an ambush ahead, but that would be even more fun.

Arietta lets out a triumphant yell, then squeak as she trips and lands across his stomach. After gracefully recovering and playfully punching the man in the chest, she turns around- still remaining on the Colt- and looks at the spinda, patting it lightly. "You're a good Spinda." She laughs, still breathing heavily, "Colt, I think it like you. A lot." She waves at Mami, who was back with Scim. Scim looks at Mami, and chitters with a sad 'kids, right?' tone. "I think you should catch it. It could be like our mascot." Her laugh was bubbly, as she was really hyper, and she picks up the eleven pound bear.
--
The woman looks at Travis and nods, "Let's at least get breakfast first. Would you mind paying, hun? I'm a little low on funds." It's been to long since she's killed someone and robbed their corpse. Elaine points to a quaint little cafe, and heads towards it, "I'll be sure to order something cheap." She adds, feeling a bit generous.

Mami giggled a bit at the antics of the other two humans but then sighed heavily, nodding to Scim, "Could you help me take him to the hospital?... we should get him there as soon as possible," she said. Even if he hadn't had a back or head injury, moving him around as they had while fleeing the Salamance couldn't be good for him. "Arietta, Colt, remember the dying guy?" she called to her friends, trying to remind them they had other things to worry about at the moment.

Goro may have been slow on land, but in the air he was a blue streak, roaring across the sky with his passengers on board. Soon, Lavaridge Town came into view; upon seeing the steam and buildings, Jessica focused, trying to locate their dangerous target. Hopefully, Seamus's contact had been right and they could get this whole debacle over with. She did hate to be away from her research from too long.

Colt blushed briefly as Arietta fell on him, but began laughing, the fun he was having overriding what he usually would find awkward. He looked at the Spinda as he was picked up by Arietta. The pokemon had caused them quite a bit of trouble, but he saw no reason not to give it a chance. "You know, that sounds like a good idea. At least I would be able to control when he is causing mischief, at least to a degree." Colt again laughed. He then looked over at Mami and the unconscious man. "Oh yeah, we should probably hurry with getting him to a hospital." Colt paused for a few seconds. "Ummmm, could you get off of me please?"
---
"Sure, no problem. I've got some money saved up." Travis patted his pocket to indicate he had money. In fact, he had quite a bit of money, in a number of different wallets, along with some loose bills. He hadn't gotten around to moving the money to one wallet. Travis entered the small establishment and took a seat two down to the left of the door. It was a course of habit for him, as it was easier to get out if the cops didn't see him so close to the door.
