Kaorin Sakura: 	Last time, Team Oak had managed to rescue both Tulip and Irian from horrible puppetry, slaying the overly grown and terribly evil Banette that was the cause. They had come to Venec's home in hopes of relaxation. Welcome to the World of Pokémon!
	Venec: 	Venec flaoted on his back and looked toward the sky.
	Danny: 	"Gasp!" Danny never thought he would make it. The underwater cavern had completely cave in, Larry had tried to help him back to the surface, but Danny had almost drowned. Suddenly, the sight of a glowing snake saved his life.
DNA: 	Cepheus was gently flicking at the water with his foot, sitting silently on Mary's back. The Lapras was slowly casting off from shore, with Grace, Kia, and Tulip all sitting thereon.
	Danny: 	Danny's naked body was helped back to the bay by his PokeMon.
	Larry: 	Larry helped Danny back to shore, resting his naked carcus up on the bank.
	Lucy: 	"..."
	Cepheus: 	"Whoa, Danny, what happened to you? You look exhausted AND indecent."
Andy: 	Kia was laying on the ground beside all of her pokemon panting heavily. In the midst of riding on Lapras back she had decided to swim back and spend some time playing.
* Joy points at Danny.
	Cepheus: 	"Also...Larry?"
	Joy: 	"Indecent, injured and with NEW stuff no less.'
	Korvin: 	"Oy there!"
	Danny: 	Danny jumped up, coughing up some water, but grinning cheerfully.
Andy: 	Kia looked over at the duo and got up quickly making her way over attempting not to look at his-well you get the picture. "What happened Larr? Is he going to be okay?" She looked at the new form of Larry thoughtfully.
	Venec: 	"Oy!" Venec waved.
	Korvin: 	"Bring yer group on over here! Looks like they could use some proper rest!!"
Andy: 	"Glad to see you are alright!" As Danny popped up Kia quickly turned away.
	Larry: 	Larry got up onto the bank, following behind Danny. He looked pretty calm and happy that Danny was okay. He looked to Kia with something akin to intelligence.
	Venec: 	Venec swam to the island with Irian, Lucy floating after him.
	Danny: 	"I got lost underwater, and teleported somewhere strange!"
	Korvin: 	"Rest of your buddies not coming along?"
	Lucy: 	"They'll get here eventually..."
* Korvin gave a knowing smile to Lucy before turning to the rest of the group briefly.
	Larry: 	Larry casually nudged Danny, then pointed to Lucy and the rest of the gang.
	Venec: 	"Dunno." Venec looked over the water and cupped his mouth with both hands, "Hey guys!"
	Korvin: 	"I'll gather some feeds then. Ain't seen Venec with so much company before."
	Danny: 	"Hm? Oh!" Danny said, looking at the group.
	Danny: 	"Quick! To swim!"
	Kia: 	"Where did you end up?" Kia glanced over at the island where Venec had swam to. "Guess we should follow huh?"
	Venec: 	Venec picked up the item from the ground.
	Danny: 	Danny dived into the water, swimming naked, making his way to the other side.
Kaorin Sakura: 	The item there is what gives off light. It's not actually there.
	Larry: 	Larry calmly waddled over to Danny's clothes, folded them properly, and stepped into the water. The strange, new PokeMon was careful not to wet the clothes as he went to the other side.
	Kia: 	Kia turned and returned all of her pokemon and dove in the water after Danny, she had changed out of her jacket, hat, and long sleeve top, and was wearing a simple tank top and followed Danny over swimming at a fair distance from him.
	Venec: 	"Hey Lucy, would you mind grabbing my coat and things from the other side of the lake? I didn't want to get it wet."
	Cepheus: 	"All right, Mary, let's go and regroup with the rest. Tulip, you coming?"
	Danny: 	Danny turned to Larry, who was now offering him clothes, and got dressed with the Slowking's help.
	Lucy: 	"Sure, I don't mind."
* Lucy suddenly vanished and reappeared on the other side of the lake, gathered the missing items of any who left something behind using telekinesis and floated back over with everything.
	Larry: 	Larry took the time to look for a flower, picking a particularly lovely one, waiting for Lucy to reappear, before offering the tulip.
	Venec: 	"Ah, thanks a bunch." Venec put his coat and boots back on.
	Kia: 	"Thanks Lucy!" Kia had totally left her backpack behind without even thinking about it. "you are a life saver!"
	Larry: 	He then went ahead to pick a flower for each female member of the party, giving them out one at a time.
	Lucy: 	"Not a pro--"
	Kia: 	"Aww thanks Larry..." Kia smiled at Larry as he handed her a flower while taking in his new form. " Nice evolution by the way."
	Larry: 	brb
* Joy glared evily at Lucy.
	Cepheus: 	"Larry looks rather dashing, I must say..." Cepheus spoke softly.
* Lucy huffed before moving behind Venec.
	Joy: 	"So, she CAN talk?"
* Tulip sits down and pokes playfully at the Shuckle.
	Kia: 	Kia nodded in agreeance with Cepheus. " He is rather handsome."
	Venec: 	Venec laughed, "Ah, it was funny while it lasted."
	Cepheus: 	(Way too funny...)
	Korvin: 	"Got some food here, gang. Ain't the best 'round."
* Korvin set down a wooden plate full of berries, various salads and a few cups of juice.
	Joy: 	"A-Ahn...thanks, sir."
* Arcanine nudged Venec happily.
	Korvin: 	"How's life been treatin' you, son? You look a bit wiser than you were less than a week ago."
	Joy: 	"Wait, he's your son?!"
	Korvin: 	"'pose that be the case, yeah."
	Kia: 	Kia turned and looked up at the man who was talking, and gave him a small smile. " Thank you very much.." She then glanced over and noticed that Layla had evolved. "Layla you are so BIG now!" How did I ever miss you? COngrats on your evolution!"
* Korvin laughed heartily before turning to Kia.
	Korvin: 	"Layla evolved? Where is the girl?"
	Venec: 	Venec grinned and scratched the arcanine's chin, "Great so far. I haven't even gotten more than a few miles outside of the woods and I'm already full up on adventure.
	Venec: 	Venec sent out Layla
* Arcanine happily nuzzled Venec's face before sitting down peacefully.
DNA: 	Cepheus stayed quietly out of the way, making sure to say nothing. There was a family moment going on and he didn't want to disturb it. He just spent the time drawing conclusions.
	Kia: 	Kia took a closer look at the pokemon and then noticed that the arcanine was indeed not Layla. "opp's I'm I guess I wasn mistaken...would this happen to be a relation of Layla's?"
	Venec: 	Venec looked between his dad and everyone else, not even sure how to begin introducing everyone.
	Korvin: 	"Seems like the world has been doing you well. Just remember, no matter what happens, you got a home to come back to if you ever need it."
* Korvin laughed again before shaking his head.
	Korvin: 	"Nope. No relation what-so-ever."
	Grace: 	"Ceph-chan. He's bigger than you..."
	Venec: 	"I saved up allowance for chopping wood and bought an egg from the Viridian City pokecare shop. I guess I had this one's patterns in mind when I picked the egg cause I got a growlithe. Dad, this is Kia." Venec gestured toward her, "She's one of the four members of our Team Oak club."
	Cepheus: 	"What did you expect? I'm only six-one; Venec's dad would probably be gigantic."
	Korvin: 	"Nice to meet, ya Kia. Now, you said four members? But I see seven people."
	Tulip: 	"Not part of it, sir!"
	Cepheus: 	(Seven? Doesn't he mean six?)
* Tulip raised her hand when she spoke, still nudging the Shuckle with her toe.
DNA: 	He was counting off. Kia, Tulip, himself, Danny, Irian, and...Lucy. That was six, not seven.
	Venec: 	"Danny and Cepheus here are the other two members. Irian Joy here and Tulip, the one poking the shuckle were rescued from the mansion up northish."
DNA: 	Cepheus quickly waved his hand through the air when his name was called.
	Venec: 	"That's Grace, she's Cepheus's pokemon, but she's training him as far as anyone can tell."
	Korvin: 	"Ah, what about that young lass hidin' behind ya?"
	Kia: 	"It is nice to meet you as well sir." Kia blushed as she talked and remained silent as Venec went on introducing the others.
DNA: 	Cepheus wasn't sure whether to laugh or be offended at Venec's statement.
* Grace pat Cepheus' shoulder in reassurance
	Venec: 	"This is Lucy, we met yesterday. She's a pokemon human splice of some sort. We got in a scuffle, long story short I caught her and things are the way they are I guess." Venec chuckled uncomfortably.
	Lucy: 	"Nice to meet you...sir."
	Cepheus: 	(Thanks...) he was thinking, but he still wasn't sure what to think.
	Venec: 	Venec turned to everyone else, "Everybody, this is my dad. Korvin Myles."
	Korvin: 	"Ah, one of those? Figured they were all hidin' and stuff. Seen a couple causin' trouble 'round here."
* Korvin raised his hand to everyone.
	Korvin: 	"Heya."
	Korvin: 	"But, congrats on catchin' somethin' like that. They're pretty tough."
	Lucy: 	"You've met...more of my kind?"
	Korvin: 	"'bout nine more, yeah."
	Cepheus: 	"Nine?" he near blurted out. "How're you running into so many?"
	Venec: 	"Heh, I can't beat her yet though." Venec stopped as his dad mentioned that, "Really? I didn't know there were that many..."
	Korvin: 	"Dunno. They just sorta come by from time to time. I always figure they're hidin' 'cause they tend to be paranoid and sneaky. Sometimes confused or just plain angry."
	Venec: 	"Well Lucy's very nice, if a bit quiet sometimes." He tried to contain a smirk, " ... lucy."
	Lucy: 	"....Lucy?"
	Joy: 	"Oh, you can knock it off now."
	Joy: 	"Although, that WAS funny, I'll give you that."
DNA: 	Cepheus couldn't help but let a snicker escape.
	Kia: 	Kia also released a small amused chuckle.
* Korvin stood up straight towering at a 6'6". He placed his hands on his hips and motioned for everyone.
	Korvin: 	"So, are we all just shy or something? There's food here. Come eat and relax. You're among friends, aren't ya?"
	Cepheus: 	"...True," Cepheus answered. He let out a small sigh of relief and mumbled, "Finally, I'm around someone taller and older than me. About time..."
	Venec: 	Venec plucked a few berries from the plate, "Ah, we're supposed to be looking for a certain kind... what was it?"
	Lucy: 	"..."
* Lucy stepped over to Irian with an odd look on her face.
	Joy: 	"Hm?"
	Larry: 	"I am not shy," Larry suddenly said, "but I merely prefer to listen."
* Joy looked up to Lucy and tried to read her expression.
DNA: 	Cepheus noticed Larry's voice was...actually incredibly composed, almost calming. It almost struck him by surprise.
	Kia: 	As the man stood up Kia suddenly felt tiny. Her face was lightly blushing as she made her way over to the table to collect some food, and then as a new voice popped up she nearly dropped her plate. "Larry??"
	Venec: 	Venec looked between Irian and Lucy uncomfortably, a berry frozen in his cheek.
* Lucy suddenly wrapped her arms around Irian and enveloped her in a massive hug, whispering something into her ears. Afterward she merely sat down after gathering a cup of juice and began to drink it rather forcefully.
	Joy: 	o.o
	Larry: 	Larry remained stoic after the fact.
	Venec: 	Venec choked a bit.
	Joy: 	"Uhnnmm..'kay?"
DNA: 	Cepheus took a seat with the others and began eating...slowly.
	Danny: 	"So," Danny said, "you take after your dad?"
	Korvin: 	"Not the first time I've met a talking Pokémon, but first time I've met a Slowking. Nice to meet you, Larry."
	Venec: 	"Tryin' to," Venec laughed.
	Larry: 	"I am pleased to meet you, too," Larry said, smiling.
	Korvin: 	"Venec doesn't give himself enough credit. But I'm sure you all know that by now."
DNA: 	Cepheus half expected Larry to tip his hat, but then he realized that wouldn't have been possible.
	Larry: 	"This is my PokeMon Trainer." He motioned to Danny. "His name is Danny. I help him with his homework."
* Tulip grinned as Layla ran over to her and hunched down on all fours in a pouncing position, giving a playful growl.
	Layla: 	Layla instantly crouched down to and growled, betraying her mock fighting stance by hopping with excitement.
	Danny: 	Danny looked pretty happy. He grinned like a champion. "You're so cool Larry! Now you really talk! And I don't need to make it up!"
	Cepheus: 	"This food...actually tastes quite good. Your own special recipe? or are the plants just high quality around here?"
	Danny: 	Danny started to stuff his face full of food.
	Korvin: 	"I leave the plants here alone. I get it from the city."
DNA: 	"Ah, okay." That about ruined the mysticism of it, but okay.
	Korvin: 	"I only hunt the Pokémon here, but didn't have time to cook anything so I figured this would do."
* Tulip suddenly pounced at Layla, attempting to roll her over into a pin.
	Korvin: 	"How, how many badges have you guys managed to get yet?"
	Korvin: 	So, how*
DNA: 	Cepheus kept eating, slowly, but then slowly bent his head down to the ground, as if deep in thought.
	Larry: 	Larry looked at Dandy with a friendly smile. He motioned for the Dragonair to join the group and eat.
	Cepheus: 	"None yet," Cepheus said, perking his head up for a brief moment.
	Layla: 	Layla squirmed and held Tulip's upper arm between her jaws.
	Danny: 	"I want to get a whole heap, though," Danny answered, nodding quickly.
	Venec: 	"We've been planning on the gym being the last visit before heading out of town. With so much to do in Pewter we hadn't gotten to it yet."
	Tulip: 	"Hee-he-he!" Tulip squirmed over her and gave her a playful bite at her scruff before letting her go and hopping back into another pouncing position.
	Layla: 	Layla instantly snapped back to her fighting pose.
	Korvin: 	"Didn't you guys start in Viridian? What about that badge?"
	Danny: 	"There's a GYM in Viridian?"
	Korvin: 	"Yeah, although I guess it's kiind of abandoned now. Your Professor runs it."
	Venec: 	"I guess I didn't think of it."
	Danny: 	"That's not a very straight answer," Danny said, giving Korvin a strange look.
	Danny: 	"Is it abandoned or not?"
	Layla: 	Layla attempted to pounce-push Tulip into the water.
	Korvin: 	"It's still functional, just most people don't visit the town FOR the Gym anymore. But it's there, and can be challenged."
	Tulip: 	"Ack!" Tulip loses her footing and stumbles back into the water.
	Korvin: 	"She's mighty rowdy, that one."
	Mary: 	Mary instinctively swam over to Tulip and attempted to help her up
* Tulip coughs and sputters out some water as she climbs onto Mary's back, shaking off the water like an animal before giving Mary an appreciative hug, "Thanks!"
	Mary: 	Mary smiled and cooed softly.
	Layla: 	Layla hopped up and down at the edge and barked before jumping in herself.
	Danny: 	Danny continues to eat.
	Korvin: 	"Always thought it was funny how much Layla liked the water."
	Danny: 	"So, what's it like living in Viridian forest?"
	Venec: 	"She loves the water. You think she wouldn't but she's an odd one."
	Danny: 	"Hey!" Danny suddenly got a dastardly glint in his eyes. "Have you introduced your dad to your girlfriend yet, Venec?"
	Korvin: 	"Alright. Forest changed up a bit, not sure why but it's pretty peaceful. Every once in a while though, I have to make a trek 'round the region for badge business."
DNA: 	Cepheus' ears perked up slightly at the mention of the word 'girlfriend', then realized Danny was talking to Venec. Never mind then.
	Joy: 	"Hellos!" Irian gave a slight wave at the comment.
DNA: 	He was half expecting that Miranda character to show up at the Mansion, but she didn't. Why? Or maybe this wasn't Irian at all?
	Korvin: 	"Already? Nice. And to a Joy no less, that's not easy to do."
DNA: 	Not wanting to miss a beat, he scanned Irian with the Pokedex, hoping to pick up something.
	Venec: 	Venec coughed on his berry-packed mouth.
	Joy: 	"Pfft, we're no trophy now."
	Korvin: 	"Never intended it that way."
	Layla: 	Layla paddled around the water happily.
	Danny: 	"Ha! You're a trophy!"
	Venec: 	Venec stared at the ground hard enough to deal psychic damage.
Kaorin Sakura: 	"Nurse Joy. A family of all-female pink haired-blue eyed women who specialize in Pokémon and Human medical science. Often times debated whether or not the Joy familly has any amount of Pokémon genetics in their family due to the strikingly odd scenario of each of their off-spring being all female of identical features of their mother. From the physical appearance to the sound of their voice."
* Joy frowned as she heard the Pokédex.
	Danny: 	"Oh, guys, guess what," Danny suddenly declared, "something strange happened while I down at that underwater cavern."
	Joy: 	"I'm a Ditto!"
	Korvin: 	"Are you now?"
	Joy: 	"Yes."
	Cepheus: 	"I knew that," Cepheus said with a laugh, "I was just making sure you weren't an imposter." He put the Dex away.
	Korvin: 	"So, I'm free to catch you?"
	Joy: 	"Maybe."
	Danny: 	Danny continued to eat.
Danny whispers: testing
	Venec: 	Venec was taken by surprise by this.
You whisper to Danny: hellos!
Danny whispers: Hello!
	Korvin: 	"Not to worry, don't plan on catching you. Venec already has his claims to you."
	Venec: 	"I- I... what?" Venec hurt himself in confusion
	Cepheus: 	"...You're quite the ladies' man, aren't you Venec?" Cepheus stated.
	Venec: 	Venec loses 0 hit points.
	Danny: 	"Larry is far more lady-man like!"
	Venec: 	Venec looked back at his feet
	Cepheus: 	"Lady-man like? There could have been a better choice of words, Danny."
	Larry: 	Larry paused in the middle of a bite, before letting the comment slide, then continuing to eat.
	Korvin: 	"Well, I'll be inside if anyone needs me for anything. Feel free to stay as long as you guys need to."
	Kia: 	Kia munched on the food quietly as she listened to theothers conversate.
* Korvin went inside of the shack with Arcanine.
	Danny: 	"What do you mean?"
	Venec: 	" a-alright " Venec said, flustered.
	Cepheus: 	"Lady-man like? Come on, think about the wording for a bit."
	Danny: 	"Oh, you mean I should have said ladies-man like?"
	Lucy: 	"..."
	Danny: 	"But Cepheus! Venec isn't into polygamy!"
	Lucy: 	"Am...I the only one here who heard 'badge business'?"
	Joy: 	"No, we all just didn't care."
	Lucy: 	"..."
	Danny: 	"I care!"
	Joy: 	"I love you too, Lucy."
	Venec: 	"Well to get a badge you have to beat the gym leader."
	Lucy: 	"Err..."
* Lucy hid behind Venec again.
	Cepheus: 	"How are you so sure that Venec isn't into polygamy?"
	Venec: 	Venec spoke as if defeating Korvin was beyond plausability.
	Joy: 	"So, your father is a Gym Leader?"
	Danny: 	Danny stared at Venec, then looked back and forth from Joy and Lucy. "You know. I am not too sure now."
	Venec: 	"I guess so. He never made a big deal out of it." Venec was trying his best to ignore Danny but the flush was still there, "N-no one really comes around here to challenge him. Usually he leaves when I'm staying with my mom."
	Joy: 	"Well, you've grown pretty strong, V. Why not try to challenge him with your group? Worst case scenario, you lose."
	Danny: 	"Maybe I could challenge him!"
	Danny: 	"And win!"
	Venec: 	Venec stared blankly at Irian. He was used to Danny spouting nonsense but hearing it like that, Venec wasn't quite sure what to make of it.
	Grace: 	"Ceph-chan. Challenge Korvin. We can totally take him down and grow stronger."
	Cepheus: 	"...Am I the only one who's actually going to speak up and take him on...JUST because you want me to?"
	Grace: 	"..."
	Danny: 	"Maybe we could all challenge him?"
	Grace: 	"You don't HAVE to challenge someone that Venec doesn't seem to think is possible of taking down...!"
	Kia: 	"It might be fun.." Kia smiled at the others as she processed the idea of challenging Venec's father.
	Lucy: 	"Cepheus, if I may?"
	Cepheus: 	"What is it, Lucy?"
	Lucy: 	"None of you here have faced a Gym Leader before, right? Wouldn't think be a good opportunity to find out what they're like?"
	Venec: 	Venec had gone from confusion to actual consideration that fighting his dad was a thing.
	Joy: 	"Didn't know you were into combat, Lucy."
	Cepheus: 	"Sure, why not, but I think I missed the memo about Korvin being a gym leader."
	Venec: 	"That is a good point, maybe we should try..."
	Lucy: 	"I'm not, but a Trainer who doesn't like the idea of Gym challenges isn't a Trainer, but a Coordinator. Or just a pet owner."
	Joy: 	"Geez, that's pretty harsh."
	Lucy: 	"...It...it wasn't meant to be. Just the truth."
	Cepheus: 	"...I'm a researcher before I'm a trainer." He was unfazed by Lucy's comment. He didn't even like thinking of himself as a trainer. It bothered him.
	Danny: 	"I think it's settled," Danny said, nodding, "that we should challenge Venec's dad!"
	Venec: 	"The league challenge is a fast profit if you have companions strong enough to take the risks."
	Venec: 	"If you're a researcher you need that kind of backing, dontcha?"
	Cepheus: 	"The last time I checked, library cards were free..."
	Layla: 	Layla ran out of the water, making sure she got between as many people as she could.
	Tulip: 	"I'll totally watch the battle!"
	Layla: 	One-Meter Wet Dog Water Shaking-Off Burst!
	Joy: 	"Think he's like Venec and punches things?"
	Tulip: 	"I like punching things!"
	Venec: 	"Gah!" Venec shielded himself as best as he could.
	Lucy: 	"You're not T.O."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Both Irian and Lucy seemed unphased by the burst of water.
	Tulip: 	"Aww...I'm not."
	Tulip: 	:C
	Tulip:
	Grace: 	"Well, I'd like to know, Ceph-chan? Are you interested in Gym battles? The League? Contests? Anything competitive?"
	Joy: 	"Profit?"
	Tulip: 	"Back-flips?"
	Lucy: 	"Back-flips?"
* Tulip shrugged.
	Cepheus: 	"...Knowledge and friendship, and that's pretty much it. Friendship I now have in abundance, but the search for knowledge is neverending."
	Venec: 	Venec thought a moment, and then tried to back flip
	Venec: 	Dex « 1d20+4 = 7 + 4 = 11 »
Kaorin Sakura: 	Venec performed a back-flip, though required the use of one hand for balance at the 180 angle.
	Venec: 	Venec performed a Handspring
	Larry: 	"Library cards are fine and dandy, but only if you want to research other people's findings."
	Larry: 	"It depends on your ambitions as a researcher."
* Lucy was oddly impressed by Larry and had to look away.
	Larry: 	Larry continued to casually eat.
	Cepheus: 	"I want to try and learn as much about the world and everything in it as I possibly can. Whether or not that pertains to my own findings or someone else's, it makes no difference to me."
	Grace: 	"What if you have to fight, Ceph-chan?"
	Cepheus: 	"Then fight I will."
	Grace: 	"What if you have to fight for everything on the line, once you've found what you're looking for?"
	Grace: 	"Don't you want to be ready?"
	Cepheus: 	"..."
* Grace peered into his eyes with a knowing look.
DNA: 	He looked down at the ground. He couldn't stare back at her.
	Venec: 	"Well, puttin' it simply you can fight the gym fights we do or not. But if you start fighting halfway through we're not going back to fight them again. So if there's a drop of uncertanty we should all go for it together."
	Venec: 	"From the beginning I mean."
	Venec: 	Venec looked for some berries that might heal Layla.
	Danny: 	"Well," Danny thought, "I want to be rich and famous."
Kaorin Sakura: 	There are 20 berries total in the plate.
	Danny: 	"But! I want to share my fame and riches with all my friends! You guys!"
Kaorin Sakura: 	2 of each from the first 10 berries in the berry-dex.
	Cepheus: 	"...I'm going to go back to the mansion and see if there's anything else I can find there."
	Cepheus: 	"Anything you want me to bring back for the rest of you?"
	Venec: 	"Hey Kia, what were those berries we were looking for from the shop?"
	Danny: 	Danny made a sad face. "Fine! We can go back to the mansion!"
	Cepheus: 	"I thought you guys were battling Korvin."
	Danny: 	"But! Promise to take on the GYMs with us!"
	Cepheus: 	"I'm fine with going to the mansion by myself."
	Danny: 	Danny laughed. He didn't stop laughing after a minute, then stopped. "Oh. You're serious."
	Kia: 	Kia looked over at Cepheus and nodded in an understanding manner. “Don’t worry Cepheys I don’t necessarily want to fight either, but I know that I have to battle so that I can grow stronger and protect my friends. Also I must say I think some of my pokemon enjoy the battles.” Kia fondly thought of Vi as she spoke. “Either way, I think gym battles will offer a safe way to grow stronger.”
	Kia: 	Kia looked over as Venec asked the question about the berries and shurged. "I'm not sure I forget."
	Cepheus: 	"Oh, I understand. I'm just...not ready for a fight right now. By the way, Oran and Sitrus. They help."
DNA: 	He walked over to Mary and prepared to cast off, to see what he could find. "Grace, you can stay here or follow me, your choice."
* Grace frowned at the comment.
	Danny: 	"Yeah! I wonder what Grace will do..."
	Grace: 	"You know I'm not going anywhere without you."
	Danny: 	"... big surprise!"
	Cepheus: 	"I still wanted to offer you a choice. You don't have to be tethered to me, you know."
	Cepheus: 	"All right, guys, I'll be back shortly. I'll try and bring back some goodies if I find any."
	Larry: 	Larry finished eating, sighing cheerfully, and watched the clouds for a while.
	Grace: 	"I WANT to be with you."
	Cepheus: 	"....Thanks."
DNA: 	He wanted to be alone for a while...completely alone, but he knew it probably wasn't a good idea. Besides, it's not like he didn't enjoy Grace's company.
	Venec: 	Venec watched as Cepheus went. "What's that guy trying to prove."
	Tulip: 	"Is he upset?"
DNA: 	He set off, recalling Mary as soon as he got to the opposite shore.
	Larry: 	"He just wants some peace."
	Venec: 	"Bout something I'm sure."
	Lucy: 	"Are we not challenging Korvin without him?"
	Larry: 	Larry continued to relax, but upon Lucy's comment, arched back up and thought for a moment.
	Cepheus: 	"Agh, forgot it gets darker from here on out. Time to summon Yuki to light things up."
	Venec: 	"Prolly not. I dunno if we should be following him or not
	Danny: 	Danny looked at Larry, "Yeah! You're right, Larry! We should challenge Korvin now!"
	Larry: 	"I didn't say anything, Danny."
	Danny: 	"..."
	Kia: 	Kia nodded her head in agreement with Venec, not so sure herself. "That mansion had a lot of strong pokemon in it."
	Danny: 	"I forget that I don't need to make up what you say anymore."
	Cepheus: 	"I hope I'm going the right way. I forgot what direction it was from here..."
	Danny: 	"I hope he isn't lost."
	Venec: 	Venec stood up, pocketing the berries for now, "Welp. If he's in trouble we'll run into him on the way. Let's head for the mansion and see what he's up to."
DNA: 	He was cautiously making his way through the forest, going off the way he best remembered, all the while muttering "I'm not like them..."
	Danny: 	"We're not battling Korvin?"
	Danny: 	Danny made a sad face.
DNA: 	"Oh, here we are. Guess I was going the right way."
DNA: 	"Let's see...where DIDN'T we go..."
	Danny: 	Danny yawned. "We haven't slept in a while."
	Venec: 	"Nah. Not now. Honestly I came to this team oak thing with some assumptions but if Ceph doesn't want to fight he doesn't want to fight. And we're his friends so we should just accept that adn stick together."
	Haunter 2: 	"Haaaaaaaa...."
	Cepheus: 	"Not you guys again. Would you mind just leaving me be? I'm not quite in the mood."
	Venec: 	Venec returned Layla and sent out Rhea.
	Kia: 	Kia nodded understandingly. "Yeah...as a team we can't split apart. I'd feel horrible if something happened to him."
	Cepheus: 	"Hmm...nothing this way..."
	Haunter 4: 	"Hhhhheeee."
Kaorin Sakura: 	PAUSE
Kaorin Sakura: 	Well, pause for DNA.
	Cepheus: 	He walked back the other way, basically acting as if the Haunter weren't even there. Or at least he tried to.
	Venec: 	"Would you mind carrying our things if we swim across again Lucy? And Irian, Tulip, you can make yourselves at home if you want. Otherwise-" Venec struck a pose, "Team Oak! Assemble!
	Kia: 	Kia chuckled lightly as Venec posed and dove in the water gald she had't changed quite yet.
	Larry: 	Larry just stared at Venec's ridiculous pose. "Um..."
	Venec: 	"It's called having fun with the job."
Kaorin Sakura: 	WHELP.
Kaorin Sakura: 	As the party is split and map loadings are a pain.
Kaorin Sakura: 	I'll just keep refreshing light as you guys move.
Kaorin Sakura: 	And feel free to grab anyone with you.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Tulip and Irian will remain behind.
	Venec: 	How's about this. You figure how many rounds it takes us to get there and port anyone who wants to go in, in.
	Danny: 	Danny returned Dandy into her Poke Ball.
	Venec: 	Once that turn comes
	Danny: 	"Let's roll, Larry!"
	Danny: 	Danny struck a pose.
	Danny: 	"Team Oak! Assemble!"
Kaorin Sakura: 	What's everyone's Trainer speed?
	Kia: 	5
	Venec: 	THat's the lowest
	Danny: 	Trainer Speed or PokeMon speed?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Trainer.
	Kia: 	wait trainer spped is either 5 or 3+ 1/2 dex right?
Kaorin Sakura: 	It's 165 meters to the mansion.
	Danny: 	4
Kaorin Sakura: 	2 + 1/2 STR, DEX or CON I think.
Kaorin Sakura: 	or 5
	Venec: 	9
	Venec: 	In that case 8
	Danny: 	5
	Kia: 	5
Kaorin Sakura: 	Alright, if you guys are full sprinting there.
Kaorin Sakura: 	That'd be movement of flee.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Meaning full sprint, that'd be 4 rounds.
	Venec: 	Can do!
Kaorin Sakura: 	2 rounds if you guys were on a mount.
Kaorin Sakura: 	A mount with at least 10 overland that is.
DNA: 	magical arcanine?
	Kia: 	*i has a mount*
	Danny: 	Danny mounts Lucy.
DNA: 	^no
	Kia: 	oh my
	Lucy: 	"I lack any mounting tools."
	Venec: 	Venec can run fast enough
Kaorin Sakura: 	4 rounds of full sprint is exhausting.
Kaorin Sakura: 	And will cost 1/12th of everyone's max HP upon entering the mansion.
	Venec: 	Deal
	Kia: 	Kia releases Storm once upon dry land and uses her as a mount,
Kaorin Sakura: 	Kia enters the mansion in 2 turns and Storm will lose 1/12th max.
	Danny: 	Danny returned Larry to his Poke Ball, before deciding to sprint like a maniac to the Haunted Mansion. Danny had a sudden psychic feeling that things were wrong!
	Kia: 	nevermind that
Kaorin Sakura: 	Whelp.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Here we go.
Kaorin Sakura: 	DNA, speed?
	Grace: 	15
	Venec: 	Venec loses 25 hit points.
Kaorin Sakura: 	How funny.
Cepheus has received initiative.
	Kia: 	Kia loses 17 hit points.
	Danny: 	Danny loses 10 hit points.
	Cepheus: 	"Stupid ghosts," he muttered. "Well, nothing to it. Grace, pull back. Jupiter, you're up." (Speed 13)
	Jupiter: 	Mirror Shot
* DNA rolls: 1d20-5 => 10 - 5 = 5
* DNA rolls: 3d8+10+19+5 => 12 + 10 + 19 + 5 = 46
	Jupiter: 	Steel; Special
Kaorin Sakura: 	Mirror Shot makes no sense for AC rules.
	Jupiter: 	Doesn't it?
Kaorin Sakura: 	I'm just gonna say it means they need to roll +2 higher on AC.
	Jupiter: 	Yeah, isn't that what it says on a 16+?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Right, but that's just silly.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Oh wait, no, I get it.
	Jupiter: 	Even though the side effect in VG is -1 Acc stage?
Kaorin Sakura: 	It means they need to roll +2 if YOU roll 16-20 on your AC check.
	Jupiter: 	Yeah, exactly.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Very poorly worded.
	Haunter 4: 	Haunter 4 loses 35 hit points.
	Jupiter: 	That's why DNA rewords everything better!
	Haunter: 	Haunter loses 32 hit points.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Cepheus doing anything else?
DNA: 	If I can punch a Haunter with the Mech Gauntlet, yes
Kaorin Sakura: 	Electric damage, right?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Then yes.
DNA: 	Cepheus then ran up to the furthest Haunter and socked it in the jaw.
* DNA rolls: 1d20-6 => 15 - 6 = 9
Kaorin Sakura: 	Hit!
* DNA rolls: 2d8+6+2 => 6 + 6 + 2 = 14
DNA: 	strmod is 2, so I think I'm doing that correctly
Kaorin Sakura: 	Yes, if that's your highest mod out of STR, DEX and CON.
Kaorin Sakura: 	And then you add STR mod against.
Kaorin Sakura: 	again*
Kaorin Sakura: 	So, that'd be 16.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Formula is:
DNA: 	damage base + 2xSTRmod?
Kaorin Sakura: 	(base damage)+(Highest modifier of STR, CON or DEX)+damage bonus(STR mod)
Kaorin Sakura: 	You wanna re-roll that for me?
DNA: 	okay then.
* DNA rolls: 2d8+6+2+2 => 8 + 6 + 2 + 2 = 18
Kaorin Sakura: 	Thankuu!
	Haunter: 	Haunter loses 14 hit points.
* Haunter is socked in the jaw with an electric fist and falls to the ground; unconscious.
	Haunter: 	Haunter loses 14 hit points.
	Haunter: 	There we go.
Haunter 2 has received initiative.
* Haunter 2 floats over to Cepheus and bursts into a dark purple explosion.
* Kaorin Sakura rolls: 1d20-2 Night Shade vs. Cepheus! => 20 - 2 = 18
Kaorin Sakura: 	Critical Hit! But no extra damage.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Cepheus suffers 25 damage.
	Cepheus: 	Cepheus loses 25 hit points.
Haunter 3 has received initiative.
* Haunter 3 floats over to Cepheus and bursts into a dark purple explosion.

	Cepheus: 	Cepheus loses 25 hit points.
Haunter 4 has received initiative.
* Haunter 4 explodes in a dark purple explosion!
* Kaorin Sakura rolls: 1d20-2 Night Shade vs. Jupiter! => 15 - 2 = 13
	Jupiter: 	Jupiter loses 25 hit points.
Cepheus has received initiative.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Round 2.
DNA: 	Jupiter was quite annoyed at the Haunter's attempt to try and hit Cepheus, and thus he decided to strike with his own brand of justice!
	Haunter 4: 	Interrupt!
* Kaorin Sakura rolls: 1d20-2 Sucker Punch vs. Jupiter! => 15 - 2 = 13
* Haunter 4 suddenly throws a punch to the right - no wait the left - no wait, where'd that fist come from to the up?
	Jupiter: 	Ow!
* Kaorin Sakura rolls: 3d10+12+7 Dark Physical Damage! => 10 + 12 + 7 = 29
	Jupiter: 	It's...not very effective...
	Jupiter: 	Jupiter loses 7 hit points.
	Jupiter: 	Now, where was I? Ah, right. Thunderbolt!
* DNA rolls: 1d20-2 => 1 - 2 = -1
Kaorin Sakura: 	The thunderbolt will hit nothing, apparently.
	Jupiter: 	It missed completely, hitting the d20 that did this to him!
Kaorin Sakura: 	The bolt flies wide out and scorches the nearby large tree plant thing.
DNA: 	Cepheus then stepped around and delivered a sock to the other damaged Haunter.
* DNA rolls: 1d20-6 => 2 - 6 = -4
	Haunter 3: 	Interrupt!
* Haunter 3 suddenly throws a punch to the right - no wait the left - no wait, where'd that fist come from to the up?
* Kaorin Sakura rolls: 1d20-2 Sucker Punch vs. Cepheus! => 11 - 2 = 9
* Kaorin Sakura rolls: 3d10+12+7 Dark Physical Damage! => 20 + 12 + 7 = 39
	Cepheus: 	Cepheus loses 39 hit points.
DNA: 	"Dang, that smarts..." he said, swinging but missing terribly.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Re-roll your attack please. It was interrupted.
* DNA rolls: 1d20-6 => 5 - 6 = -1
	Jupiter: 	Jupiter was sad. They both missed? This wasn't a good day.
Haunter 2 has received initiative.
* Haunter 2 produces a large nail from no where and stabs itslef in the head with it. Cepheus' head suddenly felt as though something was rammed right through his skull.
	Haunter 2: 	Haunter 2 loses 23 hit points.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Cepheus has been cursed.
	Cepheus: 	"Agh, man that hurts..."
Haunter 3 has received initiative.
* Haunter 3 produces a large nail from no where and stabs itself in the eye with it. Jupiter's eye suddenly feels like a Beedrill shot it with Poison Sting!
	Haunter 3: 	Haunter 3 loses 23 hit points.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Jupiter has been cursed.
	Jupiter: 	Hey! I'm immune to Poiso-AGH that hurt...
Haunter 4 has received initiative.
* Haunter 4 leans back in the air and swings a wide hook at Jupiter!
	Haunter 4: 	Shadow Punch vs. Jupiter! Cannot miss.
* Kaorin Sakura rolls: 2d10+8+5+7 Ghost Physical Damage! => 10 + 8 + 5 + 7 = 30
	Jupiter: 	It's...not very effective...
	Jupiter: 	Jupiter loses 7 hit points.
Cepheus has received initiative.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Round 3.
	Jupiter: 	HP lost from Curse at start or end of turn?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Start.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Actually.
Kaorin Sakura: 	I'll say end from now on, like how Conquest does it.
DNA: 	and how EVERY game does it, I'll guess
Kaorin Sakura: 	Except SHed SKin, but anwyay, go!
	Cepheus: 	"Dammit...well, time to make this one count."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Team Oak could finally see the Mansion coming into view as they rushed as fast as they could, huffing and panting with the wind blowing past their ears furiously!
DNA: 	He walked a bit to his right and attempted to punch the Haunter he previously missed.
* DNA rolls: 1d20-6 => 17 - 6 = 11
* DNA rolls: 2d8+6+2+2 => 9 + 6 + 2 + 2 = 19
Kaorin Sakura: 	Very nice!
DNA: 	Yeah, but I lost my use of Thunderbolt ;_;
	Haunter 4: 	Haunter 4 loses 17 hit points.
* Haunter 4 fell to the ground lifelessly.
DNA: 	Jupiter wasn't messing around. He went around to the other end and lined up his targets nicely.
	Jupiter: 	Mirror Shot
* DNA rolls: 1d20-5 => 9 - 5 = 4
Kaorin Sakura: 	That is a hit my friend!
	Jupiter: 	Hit, going straight south.
* DNA rolls: 3d8+10+19+5 => 7 + 10 + 19 + 5 = 41
	Haunter 2: 	Haunter 2 loses 32 hit points.
* Haunter 2 fell to the ground in a sprawled of other-wordly fluids.
	Haunter 3: 	Haunter 3 loses 32 hit points.
	Haunter 3: 	"GYAAAHAHH!!"
	Jupiter: 	(That'll...teach 'em...) he said gasping.
* Haunter 3 gave out one last cry of pain before falling to the ground motionlessly.
	Jupiter: 	Er, thought. Whatever. He has no mouth.
Kaorin Sakura: 	3000 XP earned to be parted between any or all of the Pokemon that were attending the battle.
	Cepheus: 	"...a bit too close for comfort," he said between labored breaths. He had to move somewhere else...
DNA: 	He staggered a bit away from the Haunters; so did Jupiter. He released Grace, instinctively saying "Heal Pulse; quickly!"
	Grace: 	Grace loses 8 hit points.
Kaorin Sakura: 	The rest of Team Oak suddenly bursts in through the front doors.
	Grace: 	"Burst healing!"
Venec: 	"Hey!"
Kia: 	"Ce-ph-" Kia was gasping madly for air holding her side. "-us."
	Danny: 	"Team Oak! Ready for action!"
	Danny: 	Then, Danny went to a corner, and vomited from the exhausted effort.
	Venec: 	Venec, slowing down for the less athletic party members, didn't seem nearly as out of breath.
	Danny: 	He came back from the shadows. "There." He wiped his mouth. "Team Oak! Ready for action!"
Kia: 	Kia finally seemed able to regain composure as she stood up. "Sorry...but we couldn't let you come here by yourself."
	Larry: 	Larry seemed very clam, eyeing the Haunters, then looking at Grace. "It seems Grace has everything sorted. I told you all not to worry."
	Larry: 	calm*
	Danny: 	"What happened?"
Kia: 	Kia looked around and rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. "I just know how hard it was last time we got here..couldn't help but to worry."
	Jupiter: 	Jupiter is healed and gains 31 hit points.
	Cepheus: 	Cepheus is healed and gains 64 hit points.
	Jupiter: 	Jupiter heaved a sigh of relief!
	Larry: 	Larry's eyes finally rested on Jupiter. He smiled at his longtime friend.
	Jupiter: 	Also he noticed the cavalry has arrived! but he also noticed Cepheus' face was still angry! Not good.
	Jupiter: 	Jupiter turned to Larry. He wanted to glare angrily at him but...he just couldn't.
	Larry: 	"I am able to articulate something I have wanted to say to you for the longest time, Jupiter. You are my dearest friend along with Danny."
	Jupiter: 	He was staring wide-eyed at Larry. He...didn't even see that coming.
DNA: 	Cepheus was still panting a bit, staring at the ground, saying "man, I HATE ghosts!"
	Jupiter: 	Jupiter rushed on over to Larry and started talking to him in whirs and such.
	Larry: 	Larry turned to the Haunter. He used Confusion on their remains, deciding to relinquish their existence on this plane once and for all.
	Venec: 	"Are you doing okay Cepheus?"
	Larry: 	"No, Jupiter, you gave me the drive to grow. You helped me reached this stage. Our rivalry was a blessing along with our friendship."
DNA: 	Cepheus didn't expect anyone else to show up. He was hoping they wouldn't. "I'm fine, dammit!" he yelled. "I thought you were going to battle Kovrin...or whatever his name was."
	Jupiter: 	His eyes started welling up...
	Venec: 	"Well yeah, but you didn't want to so we came along. We can do that later."
	Jupiter: 	Then he spontaneously gave Larry a hug.
Kia: 	Kia shrunk back a little as Cepheus raised his voice. Perhaps they should have stayed away...
	Cepheus: 	"Whether or not I wanted to or not shouldn't affect you. I came here alone because I wanted to."
	Larry: 	Larry hugged the magnetic Jupiter.
	Grace: 	"Dammit, Ceph-chan. They're your friends. They care about you. Can't you see that?"
	Danny: 	"And you're totally ruining a Jupiter and Larry moment!"
	Venec: 	"Well if you want to call up Oak next time we're in town and see about getting off the team. Until then we're sticking together, that's what teams do."
	Cepheus: 	"I know they care, but that doesn't mean they had to interrupt what they were doing to come here! I wanted to come here alone. I knew it was dangerous."
	Cepheus: 	"I wanted to do some thinking time. I figured here would be a good place to do so."
	Jupiter: 	!
	Venec: 	"Well it's not. It's a terrible place to do it."
	Larry: 	Larry smiled.
Kia: 	Kia shook her head. "What if something had happened to you? Do you think we would ever be able to forgive ourselves?"
	Cepheus: 	"It wasn't your fault. What part of 'I chose to come here alone' didn't you hear?"
Kia: 	would have***
	Venec: 	"Heard it. Didn't care. You're our friend, you're acting strange, you're going to a spooky ghost infested place. We're worried about you."
	Miranda: 	"Well now, what a loud bunch we have here?"
DNA: 	Cepheus sighed to himself. He should have expected this, but he was still angry regardless.
	Venec: 	"Frankly it looks like you're trying to kill yourself. I'm not about to let that happen to Grace."
* Lucy spun around suddenly and took a few steps back.
Kia: 	Kia looked around as a voice came out of nowhere. Who was that?
	Miranda: 	"I suppose this explains MM's untimely death."
DNA: 	He heard the voice coming from...somewhere. Not sure where, but probably nearby. He got to his feet, and then he started...laughing.
	Larry: 	Larry seemed to grow suddenly serious as he stepped in front of Danny.
	Lucy: 	"M-Miranda..."
	Cepheus: 	"Took you long enough, eh? I've been waiting for you."
	Danny: 	"That's the Miranda?"
	Miranda: 	"Oh dear, waiting for me? This is an interesting turn of events. A Human, waiting for me?"
	Danny: 	"...she is kind of ugly..."
	Venec: 	"Could you go away? We're dealing with something already."
	Cepheus: 	"I was a bit disappointed, really! I was hoping to find you on the first run here."
	Danny: 	"No offense."
	Cepheus: 	"But all I saw was this stupid oversized puppet. That was a bit of a downer."
	Miranda: 	"You're a Human. Not surprising you'd fnid me ugly."
	Miranda: 	"Oh ho ho! And what mouths you all have. My goodness..!"
	Jupiter: 	Jupiter found it very hard to believe Cepheus was saying this. He was waiting for Miranda? Was he TRYING to kill himself...?
	Lucy: 	"Y-You guys...don't rile her up!"
Kia: 	Kia looked at Cepheus taken aback. How had he known Miranda would be here?
	Cepheus: 	"Sigh...That's probably a good idea. Children are way too unpredictaable."
	Miranda: 	"What's with all this tension? The Humans are on edge and Lucy is all spooked? This almost makes me feel like the enemy here."
	Venec: 	Venec was actually looking rather tired.
	Cepheus: 	"Well then Miranda...pleasure to meet you. What brings you here?"
* Miranda flicked a vial in her hand before swallowing the thing whole.
	Larry: 	Larry eyed the vial with a frown.
	Miranda: 	"Whelp, MM is done for. Needed to grab it's DNA before it was gone completely. That work for you, mister...?"
	Cepheus: 	"...White."
	Lucy: 	"Y-You...you took that MONSTERS DNA? You plan on giving that horrible power to someone?!"
	Danny: 	"MM?"
Kia: 	Kia shifted uncomfrotably as she watched the little girl not sure what to think of her. She pulled out Artemis pokeball and readied it,
	Miranda: 	"Of course we do, Lucy. Just in due time when it's under control. And Mr.White. I'm a little curious as to how you knew I'd be here, when the whole world didn't."
	Miranda: 	Interrupt!
* Miranda suddenly teleports in front of Kia.
* Kaorin Sakura rolls: 1d20-2 A flying whip of her tail shoots down at Kia's Pokéball! => 1 - 2 = -1
* Miranda with the miss of the attack a wave of wind flushes over Kia as she vanishes back in place.
	Cepheus: 	"Oh, I didn't know for sure, but let's just say I had a pretty strong hunch. I appear to have been correct."
	Miranda: 	"Tch, a miss now? I must be getting clumsy."
	Lucy: 	"Miranda! Calm down! No one's planning to capture you!"
Kia: 	Kia takes a step backslightly dazed and shocked. "Wh-what was that for?"
	Miranda: 	"As if they could."
	Larry: 	Larry looked at the situation and sighed.
	Venec: 	Venec took of his headband and pocketed it. He sighed, it hadn't been a good evening.
	Lucy: 	"Where...where's everyone else?"
	Miranda: 	"Who?"
	Lucy: 	"Our partners. Where are the Humans who accompany us on our missions?"
	Miranda: 	"I don't have any."
	Lucy: 	"...!"
	Miranda: 	"Pu-lease, don't look at me like that. I didn't kill anyone, I just don't have Humans accompany me."
	Lucy: 	"That's not how it works."
	Miranda: 	"Haha, yeah it does. You seem to be really misinformed."
Kia: 	"So what are you doing here?" Kia spoke up quietly still unsure about the whole thing and holding Artemis pokeball even closer.
	Miranda: 	"MM's DNA. Got it and what-not's. Buuuuuut, there was this OTHER mission I had."
	Lucy: 	"...Which is?"
	Miranda: 	"Oh, don't act like you don't know. Our dearest, dearest Lucy hasn't return home in over 38 hours! She left her team willingly to face a band of children. Could she have been captured? Could she have been killed?! The town isn't on the news so she didn't go berserk. Oh, oh, dearest Miranda, please, oh please, find and save our dear Lucy!"
* Miranda turned to talk to an after-image of herself as she quickly shifted between places, acting what appeared to be a scene of two people.
	Venec: 	Venec, who had mostly been trying to catch up on his team and ignoring Miranda, glanced at her with an annoyed expression.
	Cepheus: 	(Easily excited AND schizophrenic? Really?) he was thinking. It was like something out of a cheesy movie. If his life wasn't possibly in danger, he'd be laughing some more.
	Lucy: 	"Is that what he said? Is that how he put it? Or did he order you to return his property?"
	Miranda: 	"His property? Y'know, there was a rumor you were paranoid but no, no, no, he didn't say anything about 'property'. He specifically said find and save 'our friend'."
DNA: 	Cepheus decided to recall Yuki, for now. The rest of the team was here, so there was no need for extra light.
	Lucy: 	"I find it hard to believe that."
	Danny: 	"I am very confused."
	Miranda: 	"Well, then, we must have not been the best of friends like we all thought we were. Now, you disappear and randomly, I find you with a large band of Trainers. What's the story?"
	Danny: 	"We're Team Oak!"
	Miranda: 	"Team Oak?"
	Venec: 	"I'm mostly annoyed. Anyway, Kia, you're looking pretty beat." Venec handed her a lemonade.
	Danny: 	Danny stepped forward, posing proudly.
	Danny: 	"I am the leader of Team Oak."
	Danny: 	"We adopted Lucy into our group, because she rocks!"
	Danny: 	"We're on a PokeMon quest!"
	Venec: 	Venec drank a lemonade himself.
Kia: 	Kia looked over at Venec gratefully as he handed her a lemonade. "Thanks..I was a bit thirsty."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Feel free to roll healing.
* Miranda thinks for a moment before producing a Pokédex and pointing it at Danny.
	Larry: 	Larry frowned. "Where did you get that PokeDex?"
	Venec: 	Venec is healed and gains 60 hit points.
	Kia: 	Kia is healed and gains 60 hit points.
Kaorin Sakura: 	"Danny Green, a young male Trainer who is part of Team Oak, a research group in competition with several other groups to obtain knowledge on Pokémon migration and habitat patterns. The group has been known to perform random acts of kindness for the town of Viridian City as well as the Pallet town. Currently, the group was last spotted entering the Viridian Forest, just as it was confirmed that it had grown over Route 3."
	Miranda: 	"Well now, that explains a few things."
	Cepheus: 	(Random acts of kindness? Is that really us?) he thought. He didn't remember any...
	Venec: 	Venec didn't like having his fights interupted. And at the moment Cepheus's face was screaming for a good punch. But right now the Miranda was clearly buying for a fight of her own.
	Lucy: 	"Miranda, you need to leave. I'm not going anywhere unless I want to do it myself."
	Miranda: 	"Mind control maybe? Puppetry? Capture? Which one has gathered it's hold over you, Lucy? Because the girl I know, the girl I trained, wouldn't be so against her friends."
	Lucy: 	"I'm not your friend! You're evil and manipulative! Stop lying to me!"
	Venec: 	"That's me, totally caught her, offered to let her go and everything." Venec shrugged.
* Miranda cracked her knuckles as she frowned at the words, "Well, if I have to break your arms and legs to bring you home or out of captivity I will. Something's really not right here with you."

Kaorin Sakura: 	That's a hit!
DNA: 	(Wait, REALLY?)
Kaorin Sakura: 	Speed evasion for balls.
DNA: 	(gasp!)
* Miranda turns to the Great Ball and punches it with her fist, only activating it and having it engulf her whole.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Shake.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Shake..
	Jupiter: 	!!!
Kaorin Sakura: 	Shake..
Kaorin Sakura: 	Ka-chukt!
	Jupiter: 	Pom-poms were just deployed from hammerspace!
	Kia: 	"Congrats Venec!"
	Kia: 	"Well not congrats but good ridance
	Kia: 	"
DNA: 	"Wait, what just happened up there? I can still barely see a thing!"
Kaorin Sakura: 	The Great Ball shines with rainbow light briefly before vanishing to G.Oak's lab.
	Larry: 	"I agree. That Miranda was quite annoying."
	Venec: 	Venec weezed through a bloodied grin.
	Jupiter: 	Jupiter bowed before Venec repeatedly, castrating himself on the ground.
DNA: 	wait.
DNA: 	PROSTRATING.
	Venec: 	Venec looks over the balcony, "Someone with a celphone! Tell Oak not to let that one out!"
DNA: 	disregard my spelling mistake
	Kia: 	"Better tell Proffessor Oak not to touch that pokeball..."
	Larry: 	"Give him a call now."
Kaorin Sakura: 	If no one chose the cell phone option at the beginning of the game, there are vid-phones in the Pokémon Centers/
	Venec: 	He looked over to Lucy to see how she was doing, making sure he was the closest
DNA: 	"Wait, WHAT? You guys actually captured her?"
	Kia: 	Kia chuckled and took out her pokedex wondering if it had a phone feature.
* Lucy frantically glances around for enemies.
* Lucy looks up at Venec and uses Psycho Shift on Venec!
	Kia: 	Kia and Storm make their way over to Cepheus
* Lucy copies all of Venec's combat stage increases and decreases.
DNA: 	That's Psych Up
DNA: 	Psycho Shift is different
Kaorin Sakura: 	Yeah, PSych Up. That one.
DNA: 	Psycho Shift transfers your status problems onto a target
Kaorin Sakura: 	My argument: It's 2:40 AM
DNA: 	fair enough
DNA: 	at least youtube is keeping me awake and sane
	Larry: 	Well, it's still day here.
	Cepheus: 	"Why didn't you just k-...wait. What just happened is a fate worse than death."
	Cepheus: 	"...I'm fine with it, just so long as she's condemned to that fate forever."
	Venec: 	Venec walked over and gave Lucy a hug. "You did great. Lets head back."
DNA: 	His face turned to anger, then to determination, then to sadness. But it was over.
* Lucy hugs Venec back.
	Lucy: 	"I'm just glad everyone is alright. Grace will be alright, right?"
	Jupiter: 	Jupiter followed Venec! Then he nodded at Lucy's statement.
	Venec: 	"... yeah." Venec tried to convince himself. He didn't have a clear view but did what he could.
	Larry: 	"Miranda is quite powerful, Danny. I suggest we transfer her here eventually and you breed her."
	Kia: 	Kia dials Proffessor Oak's number through her pokedex anxiously awaiting him to pick up the phone.
	Cepheus: 	"...you crazy, Larry? We don't want more of her! ...I don't, anyway!"
Kaorin Sakura: 	The phone is quickly picked up G.Oak, "Kia? I was just about to call you."
	Kia: 	"Proffessor please don't open that pokeball that just came over...Venec's pokeball that is. The pokemon in there is extremely dangerous."
DNA: 	"Make it suffer!" Cepheus found himself yelling.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Oak: "Really? She seems quite passive to me. I opened it as soon as it got here and she's been going through mood swings."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Oak: "I think she's quite happy however, that she has a real Trainer now. Or at least, that's been the conclusion after 3 other moods."
	Larry: 	"I think PokeBalls seem to have an effect on the psyche."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Oak: "I'd like the time to study her though. She's something I've never seen before. I'll fund you all for it. Thanks in advance!"
	Larry: 	"One that placates them into indentured servitude."
	Kia: 	"Really?" Kia looked a bit shocked. "Well...just be careful."
	Larry: 	"This is if the professor's words are to be believed."
	Venec: 	"I kind of figured that was a pokemon thing in general."
	Larry: 	"Not that I am an indentured servant of Danny. I follow him of my own volition."
	Danny: 	"Because you love me, Larry?" Danny smiled.
	Larry: 	"Of course, Danny."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Oak: "Will do. I have all of my Pokémon here, and I was briefly the Champion of Kanto. I think I have things under control, Kia, but I appreciate your concern. All of your Pokémon you all captured miss you though. All of you. If you're nearby, you all should come and visit them."
	Venec: 	"Lucy, Jupiter, we've won the day." Venec grinned, "Let's head down." And with that he flung himself over the railing to the floor below the balcony.
	Larry: 	"Perhaps we should follow the professor's advice, and see him."
	Kia: 	"That would be fun!" Kia grinned thinking of all of her pokemon.
Kaorin Sakura: 	All of your accounts are suddenly increased by 2000¥.
	Larry: 	Larry spoke into each mind, as to not be overheard by the professor. "The alternative is that the Professor is being controlled by Miranda, and we are walking into a trap, too."
	Venec: 	"We have that ekans thing on the way, and a gym there too."
DNA: 	Cepheus saw his Pokedex blip a bit with some new money. Oh good; he could finally pay the others back.
	Lucy: 	"I think Oak's fine. Miranda has no way to control people other than visual means. So what he says is true, though, it COULD be a trap for a re-match against us, although I doubt Miranda would do that knowing she lost once already."
DNA: 	With a few buttons, he started transferring some of the funds over. (Kia +1300; Venec +100)
	Kia: 	Kia suddenly looked at Larry a little frightened.
	Lucy: 	(Lucy cannot be touched in the ways of mind powers, so she totally didn't catch what Larry said)
	Venec: 	Venec denied the transfer! "Cepheus," he laughed, "Everybody owes everybody so much money by now it's not worth tracking."
	Cepheus: 	"I insist, though. I asked you for it and I intend to pay you back."
	Kia: 	"Well it looks like you may be seeing us! I can't wait to see everyone! Tell everyone I miss them!"
	Larry: 	Larry used sign language for Lucy. He figured that with both of their incredible intellect, that she would be very understanding.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Oak: "Will do. Oh, really?" Oak began speaking to someone else briefly away from the phone, "Kia? It seems that the new Pokémon has a name. Miranda. She says she's looking forward to seeing you specifically and wants a moment to talk with you privately when you get here. Enjoy your time out! I'll have snacks for all of you when you get here. Take care!"
	Cepheus: 	"It's got to be a trick..."
	Kia: 	"Huh....me??" Kia looked utterly confused." Take care....why would miranda want to talk to me?" Kia suddenly looked extremely nervous.
	Larry: 	"We will have to save the professor if that's the case, anyway."
	Larry: 	"If it's not a trick, then everything is alright and we can just eat food."
	Larry: 	Larry seemed fairly relaxed as he spoke. It was surreal as Danny sounded more whiny and noisy.
DNA: 	Cepheus wanted to go explore the one bit of the mansion he hadn't been to yet, but after being attacked by the Haunter he didn't feel so hot about going alone...even though he wanted to.
Kaorin Sakura: 	And I'll cut it here guys. ^-^
	Venec: 	"Well, lets look through this place for stuff, solve the ekans thing and then see oak!"
Kaorin Sakura: 	Great battle. I'm sorry it took so long and Miranda was a sneaky little jerk to everyone.
DNA: 	Good enough for me, I'm tired.
Kaorin Sakura: 	-/End
