Team Eclipse Story - Act 2

Trainer X: With the mission report turned into Head Mistress Night about the destruction of the machine in Hoenn that Team Rocket tried to steal for some nefarious plan, X would have retired to his room so he could enjoy a shower and a nap. Instead of sleeping the few hours he had hoped for, the young man ended up sleeping away the rest of the day. Waking a mere hour after midnight, the sounds of distant chopper blades would rouse the Trainer from his bed and swiftly pull on his favored black attire. Leaving both of his Pokemon free to roam the personal dorm since he had no roommate, X would find them both stirring to attention and eager to follow their Trainer outside to investigate. While it was not off key for strange things to occur at the academy, X took it upon himself to get involved in every aspect of the property's endeavors that he could without crossing lines the Head Mistress had set. Despite being the favored honor student turned Executive of Team Eclipse, even he was left in the dark and restricted from some places on campus. Raking his slender digits through his untamed mass of raven follicles, he would slip from the main door with both Sneasel and Zubat in tow. Golden hues flickered skyward as the helicopter would depart, lowering swiftly to squint and catch the forms of the Head Mistress and what appeared to be the third Executive finally returning from handling personal matters. In his paused moment of observation, Sneasel would claim his left shoulder as his perch while Zubat rightly placed herself upon his opposing one. Strolling forth, his right hand would be lifted and his wrist flicked casually to the side in a subtle wave to the two women.

Day: White roses, each petal plucked one by one for the passing wisps in amethyst eyes. A passing for whispering voices that were not easily heard over the beat of the metal wings that carried the transport vehicle airborne, yet the pale girl did her best to provide. The funeral had been somber, with her own goodbyes remaining nothing truly permanent as the previous owner of the Lavender Town Children's Orphanage remained despite having had such a decent life. To the woman who could not move on in hopes of being able to care for the children she left behind, Day gave thanks to her for all that she had given her of both physical and mental planes as she grew. And thus, with the mourning period raising and ending, she had sent out a request to Headmistress Night to be returned to the Academy so that she may continue her work with the team in proper, with a bouquet of pale roses handpicked to allow the individual petals she now finished off to scatter across the sky as a ritualistic "farewell" to her hometown once more. The small, violet-bodied pumpkin-like ghost next to her leg remained content to watch -- her assigned started and cherished partner, a Pumpkaboo, finally calming as the sun began to set. And only now did the copter descend, greeting Day and their mentor to the sight of a fellow executive -- the man she knew only as "X", providing a casual wave to which the femme returned once standing up and down from the helicopter. Several roses would be provided from what remained of the bundle, holding them out- ah, rather, shoving them into his hands and allowing the stems to settle into his palms without injuries as thorns had been cut long prior to her departure. "Good later-day, or so I heard to say. My apologies for such a leave. You should place these somewhere important on the school grounds, so-says a passerby. I sincerely apologize for taking the Headmistress away for a time to come back." And to such an apology, she turned in a flourish of light-colored silks to bow in a courteous manner to aforementioned Headmistress Night once more in earnest gratitude as the small ghost Pokemon floated to accompany her side once more. "I sincerely apologize for all that I've missed in the meanwhile." And now she waited for instruction, since she lacked full detail of what had happened in her absence and...frankly, yearned to know where she should begin now that she was back.

Night: After receiving the report, Victoria looked over the events and smirked. Well, that was one mission success. It was showing good signs that this team and the project was becoming more fruitful than the woman actually thought. Standing and waiting for the arrivals of not only the two but the third as well. Hand on hip, and weight shifting to the respective side, the Headmistress waited with some form of amusement. As they approached, her free hand held another bag like the ones given to X and Pia. "I am glad you kids made it back in one piece. And judging from the report it was a success." Gaze shifting to the third. Head shaking slightly, raven locks swaying lightly with the motion. Painting a look of feigned concern for Day. "Do not apologize. Personal matters are just that. Important yes? Now, do not think any more on it. Here is your bag for when you go out with them. After everyone is settled I want you three to meet me in my office so we can discuss what happened and so I can explain to you the new items of which we have been developing for you to help on missions." With an arched brow making sure that they got the instructions, Victoria pivoted on her heel. Each step sending a resounding click, much like a gun shot within the quite courtyard of the school. Up the stairs she went and disappearing inside, going directly into her office. Sliding into her chair, a hand moved to hit the computer. "Yes... they made it back and was successful. If all goes well we can move up sooner than prior scheduled." Nodding as she listened to the other end. "I will keep you informed. And send more of those prototypes. It seemed to do them good. They are in one piece." Smirking the computer was turned off and the woman leaned back into her chair. Elbows resting on the arms, fingers steepling under her chin while she waited.

Trainer Pia: Grunting from hearing the chopper blades Pia sat up in her bed and rubbed along her face as she tried to wake up, scratching her scalp through her thick brown hair she groaned and looked over at the clock on her dresser. ''Uhhgh'' She whined and looked over her Oddish and Skrelp sleeping happily on her desk as she threw on her night gown over her Pjs, throwing on her slippers she glanced over at the window seeing X standing there and waiting to see who it was she decided it would be best for her to wait and looked out the window a little longer. Moving herself to sluggishly sit on her desk she woke up Oddish in the process causing the weed Pokemon to come and settle in her lap, stroking the leaves a top of her new friend's head she picked out two figures leaving the helicopter and noticed that one was definitely that of the Head Mistress and the other seemed to be familiar in some respects. Looking closer she noticed it was her other comrade, Day ! Running down the corridor with the Oddish bouncing in her arms she smiled as she was quite excited to see her fellow comrade, reaching the spot there where at the youngest member of the team smiled and waved enthusiastically to Day ''Hi Day, welcome back.'' She smiled and stood with the now fully assembled team and combed her fingers through the leaves atop of her new Oddish's head.

Trainer X: The sudden handful of white roses would cause the punk styled Executive to arch a single brow, never fully understanding the concepts of goodbye nor leaving things so beautiful behind for rotting corpses. But devout to understanding spirits and souls through the study of Ghost-type Pokemon, X would give her a brief nod before the third member of the Team Eclipse Executives had shifted her position to the Head Mistress. Nodding as he was instructed to meet in her office accompanied by the others, he would make mental note to pour himself a cup of coffee before business was discussed. Departing the exchange between the two, a subtle upwards jerk of his chin would have Sneasel leaping to the ground and swiftly moving to the side of the building to start sinking his claws into the soft earth. Not much of a gardener nor having any experience with botany, the man would do what he assumed worked when it came to placing the flower's stems into the ground. Another silent notion was given, met with the flapping of Zubat's wings as she took off in search of an open window on campus to fetch a pail of water. When Pia arrived, Zubat would pass the water off to Sneasel as they worked together to tend to the roses as their Trainer would stroll back over to the two other Executives. "Sweet P.. Clothes are required outside the room.." Mused the man with an playful grin, his golden hues flickering between his two female comrades. "I am going to get some java. Let the Head Mistress know I will be there once it is done." Drifting away from the duo, his slowly growing roster would rejoin him as he passed through the front doors of the campus and turned towards the Teacher's Lounge.

Day: He went out of the way to take the roses without complaint, and she took both the notion and the bag handed to her by Headmistress Night in kind. "Yes, ma'am. I'll report shortly." And in her leave came- ...Ah, Pia. ...Lacking a good amount of clothing. Small concerns came with the fact that she was without a decent outfit, and an immediate shove of the remaining flowers towards the bounding female would be made in hopes of trying to provide her some semblance of cover in the meantime of her coming to greet her. "Thank you, Pia, and greetings to your new friend. I am...glad...to see you both once more- ...Ah?" X had managed to slip by and come back in the midst of their greeting rather quickly. That much was fine, though his claim of being late to come for the sake of running off for liquid sustenance...Made her frown softly as she realized only now in this moment that she had yet to eat since the day prior. "...Please grab me something sweet-flavored if it is not expensive. I will compensate for the request when you return." The request was met with a shift of attention to Pia in order to address her in the formal tone she normally spoke in when conversing with the two "friends" that she had in them. "We are to report to Headmistress Night's office at once. I would recommend that you dress properly before heading there in order to maintain a proper visual example of how we should look in regards to those who may be wandering about at the hour. She is to explain to us about these bags we have received." A bow from the waist to show her respects to the older femme would accompany Day's waving and quickened hustle to get straight to the Headmistress's office without delay, the shiny Pokemon she was partnered with floating right behind her with small, finglerless "hands" holding onto the flowing ends of her dress skirt. Three knocks came, the door only opening if she would receive confirmation to come in, and she would announce herself properly beforehand to ensure that she was not interrupting anything. "I am reporting in now since I've naught else to do beyond unpacking, Headmistress! X requested that I inform you that he will be here once he returns from his habitual evening routine and Pia will be following shortly."

Night: Well they were here. Head snapping up as the raps upon her door sounded. "Come in." She stated rather firmly. Seeing the three file in, she motioned toward the three chairs set before her desk. On the surface of the desk, however, were several items. Two spray bottles, what looks like a Pokedex, several candies, and three vials. "Now you might be wondering what I gave you. Our labs have produced some prototype items to aid you on your missions. These candies are more potent. The two spray bottles is a normal heal and a more potent concentrated form of it. The three vials is a normal potion, super potion, and hyper potion. If you notice they are not normal colors. Each of these has a new blend. And this..." She picked up the Pokedex, "Is a new Pokedex. It functions just like a normal one but it has an extra feature." Pointing at the blue button right under the screen. "Pressing this will feed you information from people that have uploaded data we have placed in each city. It will feed you what they gathered and help you on your missions. Any questions? You have a small break before your next assignment. I am still getting the details. Once I have them I will be distributing the information."

Trainer Pia: Nodding quickly she was simply too happy to see her friend returned to the academy, blushing slightly she bowed apologetically and rushed back upstairs to go and put on some more suitable attire for her meeting with the rest of the team. Running into her room she smiled and rifled through her clothes trying to find an outfit fit for the occasion, finally she picked out a sort of a blue/ green sweater and a pair of capri jeans finally going to her dresser and sorting out her hair and putting it into some sort of order. Now fully dressed and hair done she slipped on her rather dirty looking black sneakers and returned her Pokemon back in there balls, grabbing her field pack she opened her dormitory door and ran down the hall to come too the Head Mistress' office. Knocking three times on the door she entered and slunk into her seat at the end of the table and waited for her next instruction and smiled toward the Head Mistress looking around too her fellow team mates she couldn't help but feel a little out of place since she felt overwhelmed since they were better trainers then her, never the less she was chosen to be apart of this team. ''Okay, sorry for earlier i'm dressed now. '' She looked down at the floor and bowed apologetically again towards the Head mistress and her team mates, keeping her eyes glued to the desk and taking in what what about to be said too her.
