ith three left. arian decided to take them for himself. "haha, not wagering my badge if that what you were hoping for dog boy. you can have one freebie of my time and service for a day; whereas, what i want, is for you to become my gym trainer if i win; deal?" whether he agreed to it or not, arian, quickly, called forth alakazam and klefki.

[break][break]

the three criminals stood alongside their pokemon, the following were: a smeargle, an ampharos, and a tauros. "alakazam, bring them together!" lifting only two and their pokemon, tauros and smeargle, as one, alakazam merged his capture. binding them telekinetically with psychic. "and that's two, but we're missing one..." the ampharos and his trainer were heading kyle lopez's way; attempting to getaway.

[break][break]

"how did we miss two?!" arian exclaimed. ruffling his hair and wondering how such an easy target was missed. the culprit was nearing the mighty squad.

hey were bored. the pokemon that spawned before them were a bore. "let's g--oh?" a skarmory stood in their way. "an actual challenge? well, wouldn't hurt to get a spar in. duoblade, prepare yourself for some fun!" an impish smile. doublade's battle with the skarmory commenced.

s alakazam maintained a stable pouring of psychic energy into the machinery with psybeam. he'd look behind him, wondering why he was hearing a bigger commotion than before. turning, he'd come to see space girl acting on her own.

[break][break]



[break][break]

"what are you doing?!" running back inside, he'd stick his head through the door. "no you idiot, if you got a pokemon use it to help us; do you see what alakazam is doing in there?! do that!" was she drunk?! what's was wrong with this girl. turning his head toward the scientist, arian, sincerely, apologized, "...she's new!" no she wasn't. his nervous grin said it all. whoever paired him with bailey was going to get a very strongly worded letter.

heir search was going pretty bad. there were no pokemon eye-catching. doublade and arian were nearing their search to an end. "we might have to call it an early wrap, doublade." arian stood in place, searching around for a pokemon to garner his attention.

s bailey spoke, arian listened. his head remained forward. "aliens?" before he could respond, the doors opened. the minute that the door opened, they were greeted by a frantic scientist. "help! thank goodness you're both here, the experiment is about to go under unless we can get some energy poured into it! please, come quick!" arian looked toward bailey, and said, "we better get a move on, space girl!" he jokingly called her, grinning, he ran off and followed the scientist.

[break][break]

"the reactor isn't stable enough and we need you both to assist with feeding the machine energy to help with stabilization!" the scientist and his partners were hard at work trying to stop the energy from decreasing. to no avail, one could see from behind the glass window that the machine which housed minerals inside of it were losing power rapidly. arian, calling out alakazam, ran to stand next to the scientist as he began to partake in messing with a series of knobs and keys.

[break][break]

"well, that's not working." arian commented, "we're heading inside, open the doors!" and so, as the doors to the other room were opened. the duo went inside. once bailey followed, on command, arian gave order, "psybeam, alakazam! focus on the minerals!" and with his order given. alakazam released a motley stream of energy. hopefully, along with bailey, the group could save the scientists hard work.

rian possessed a look of remorse. the second the dragonair erected a protective barrier, arian listened. he listened to the pale male's spiel. "i..." arian paused. lowering his head as the right palm of his hand began to maneuver, vertically, upward. for a second it looked as if he were going to place it over his heart and grip his suit jacket--but that wasn't it. he placed it over his mouth.

[break][break]

arian began to laugh.

[break][break]

"ahaha!" raising the left palm of his hand, he'd hold it to the duo. "w-wait, i can't breathe! my stomach!" he held his mouth at first, but then his right hand shifted to his side. "y-you're not serious, right?" looking up to see their faces, he'd burst into another fit. "i-i can't believe the irony in that." wiping a tear from his right eye, he'd say, "your bad guys, you guys don't have to play by the rules!" had no one given them the memo--or at least the injured fellow?

[break][break]

shaking his head. "if anything, i'm merely taking precaution. it'd be troublesome to have to deal with you both at once, and tiring. i'd have to arrest you, detain and confiscate you of your pokemon. i'd rather not do that. especially with the gift of laughter you all gave me!" he definitely had to repay them back. "i was just trying to start off fresh by telling you a little bit about myself; i like games!" pointing to the duo, he'd add, "and you've both lost, you're pretty bad at hide-n-seek y'know?" arian, once more, chuckled. "it's not about what i want, but what you can do for me. considering your partner is practically standing at death's doorstep. my gardevoir can help mend the wound with their power, you can also get a free ride to where ever you're trying to flee to, i won't arrest you, i won't confiscate your pokemon--i mean, come on, i'm giving you a get out of jail free card here." arian chuckled.

[break][break]

a finger raised. he'd wag his left index finger at the duo. "if anything, i'm doing, and offering, quite a lot for you both," his voice, then, took on a tone that sounded innocent yet helpless, "and yet i'm not getting anything in return! no thank you, not a single appreciation for my kindness. just hostility. how is any of this fair?" his tone reverted back to a jovial nature, "i'm a negotiator, a man of my word, and..." a sinister grin formed. a hollow gaze stared directly toward the duo. it was not the eye of a mere mortal, but one that matched the glare of a king. sharpened hues remained focused upon them. never faltering, never wavering; they merely sat still, "... the only league member who'd ever negotiate with terrorist."

[break][break]

extending his arms as wide as possible. arian, smiling, said, "so here's what i need from the two of you: i need you both to deliver something to silas for me, preferably your skeletal friend over!" he pointed toward @mimikyu , "and as for you, i'd like you to become a member of my gym: a gym trainer of sorts. i can't explain why, but i'm interested in you..." arian pointed toward marcel maeda , "you're a simple grunt, so i doubt you have a criminal record or hit out for you at this time. you'd be perfect to blend in within liylcove, and your face isn't bad either. you might bring in some customers. plus, you get to be close to a gym leader and can report back whatever you want to your boss." arian had a lot more to say, but he wanted to give a chance for the duo to respond. so he'd remain standing, hands, now, behind his back.

the floor was theirs.

gape. his jaw-dropped in surprise. watching as the gengar and banette played with one another. shaking his head, he'd let out a sigh of relief. "thank goodness it's not a dangerous creature, does this happen everyday you run into a ghost?" arian turned his head toward isra. haunter, laughed, at the duo.

[break][break]

once her response was given. arian would turn directly toward his haunter, "while it's chasing gengar, do us a favor and confuse ray it?" he requested of his ghost. he followed order without hesitation. conjuring forth four spheres of light. the spheres were sent to ensnare the gengar, successfully flashing before the ghost-types very eyes and confusing it. "would you like to do the honors?" the gengar levitated midair with a disoriented equilibrium.

[break][break]

arian offered isra a pokeball. "would you care to do the honors? we can hand it to the guy and leave it for him to deal with." he suggested.

small smile formed on arian's face during his explanation. arian turned his back on fernando, and placed the palm of his right hand over his heart. a hollow stare and linear lips were displeased by the answer, but his voice hid his displeasure, "you truly are a wonderful mentor, fernando; i knew my brother chose an interesting man." turning back around, having spun upon the heel of right, hands sprawled behind his back while a large smile formed upon his face. "haha, you're truly a great mentor, my hero, mr. fernando!" a beaming grin and rose-colored cheeks indicated his amusement behind fernando's answer.

[break][break]

as arian stood before him, deep in the back of his mind he wondered who was the man that stood before him. to say something so unexpected, it was truly a deviation from the rumors he heard of the silph. "i heard about the battle with your..." a finger upon his chin, "...sister(?) didn't go so well the other day; at least for her."

heir search was going swell for the time being. there were no disturbances so far. perhaps doublade and arian would have a quiet exploration. had no pokemon worthy of battle sprouted before them, arian was prepared to head out for the day.

n the aftermath of it all, delphi captured the pokemon. a smile brought her way. the group would, then, come to be greeted by two newcomers who were watching from afar. a BLISSEY ran to arian's side. from having watched the leader fight bravely against the zoroark, she viewed arian as a savior. he and gengar, confused at first, watched as the pink pokemon knelt before them. "hoh?" an impish smirk. arian, kindly, lowered his body and bowed, "m'lady, would you care to offer yourself for the greater good?" blissey, blushing, quickly arose. prepared to do anything dutifully asked of her.


[break][break]

"i'd like for you to heal our new companion, but after i've captured you." lowering the ball within his hand. he'd lightly tap it upon the pink pokemon's head. a stream of red ensnared the pink healer. once inside of the ball, he'd call her out, "come, blissey." turning to delphi, he'd gently smile, "let's get deino that treatment, shall we?"

heir training had been going well. "good job, doublade. who would've thought a ghost-type could be this good at teaching like an actual human. you really a master swordsman, i wonder if you were human before your death..." wiping his brow. he'd place his rapier back into the sheath. "now that we're done here, let's get back to your training. we're here to clear some pokemon out. this place is abandoned though, but i kinda want to see this place get built." standing at the entrance into new mauville, he'd say, "an underground city sounds interesting, doesn't it?" the doublade responded with a cry.

[break][break]

"let's try to do our best at clearing this out," arian grinned.

smile never left arian's face. laughing at the thought of his arm actually being bitten. "she's just too sad at the moment to be ferocious. she needs comfort!" and little did arian know, fernando was about to give her all the comfort she needed.

[break][break]

arian was confused by his statement and the summoning of his pokemon. it didn't hit him until he saw not just the ditto transform into a pangoro, but the other three as well. pokemon who were well-versed in the ability to copy. arian, at first, was enamored with glee from the sight of fernando's pokemon. but, sadly, that went away. "w-wait...what's happening?" he asked worriedly. stepping away from the female pangoro. he wasn't sure why they were lining up.

[break][break]

"i...i don't understand, they're not gonna..." oh god they were, they definitely were gonna. arian's face was appalled, in shock really! his jaw was wide open, and as he backed away to stand next to fernando. he'd exhibit the face that was not one which sparked joy, but repugnance:
