Novien Adventures: Phoenix Rising

[Mizagium]

Tyler raced back to Roi Ril with Archie before Janie could respond. As it turns out, he was right to a degree. He could see smike rising ffrom the reckage of the Phoenix Raid on the Aqua Base. But that wasn't what bothered him. No one liked Team Aqua. But no one really liked Team Phoenix eaither. If this was a successful raid, then Phoenix was closer to controlling Roi Rill.

"Dammit, we're too late Archie." Archie let out a low growl and sunk to the ground in a stance that suggested he was preparing to fight. Tyler followed hsi gaze and saw the man from before, Vinn, leaving a cave.

"Hey, Vinn!" he called. "What's going on here?"

[Myrdraxxis]

Vinn looked up, startled. Seeing Tyler he put on his best fake-grin. "Ah, I'm not sure. I just got out here myself...." he looked at the smoke. "Say..isn't that Team Aqua's base?"

Zen waddled over to Tyler and gave him a curious look. "Abra?

[Mizagium]

"That must mean that Phoenix successfully raided Aqua's... Archie! Be polite!" Archie was still croouched down, now staring at Xen. "I'm sorry, he's usually very friendly. Archie! Be nice or I'll put you back in the Poke Ball." Archie sat back on his haunches and quit growling, but he never took his eyes off of the Abra.

[Myrdraxxis]

"Phoenix?" Vinn looked startled. "That one team that no one knows much about?" he questioned. He called Zen back over, away from the growlith that was glaring at him. "Hmm that's interesting." Vinn muttered. "Well...I must be off. If you ever need anything, I live on that old tanker just off the shore." Vinn said.

With that Vinn and Zen walked away. When he was a sufficient distance away, Vinn grinned darkly.

[Mizagium]

Tyler turned to Archie. "Sorry about that, he gives me the creeps, too, but I couldn't let him catch on." He mused on it for a moment. "Yeah, he's definitly part of Phoenix. Every else you talk to wouldn't say that no one knows about it."

Archie gave him an in quizzitive look.

"I don't know what we're gonna do! Wait!" He reached into his pockets and produced Tallon's Poke Ball. In a flash of energy, a Zubat materialized in the air. "Tallon, I want to to follow that man. But be careful, he's got an Abra that has an attitude." Tallon screeched in agreement and flapped off.

"Now we need to tell Janie and the others, wherever they are..."

[Xero]

"What!?" Michael said incredulously. "Scar! Quick! Use Dig!"

Scar clawed at the ground rapidly, throwing dirt into the air, some of it hitting Ryu as he approached, serving as a makeshift Sand Attack. Within seconds, Scar had disappeared below ground, nowhere to be seen.

Michael waited to see where Ryu would hit before he gave Scar another command.

[Mizagium]

(lol, where's austin?)

[Xelwes]

"BAGON!" And with that Wes had his second crash of his life. Its not necessarily something Wes even noticed, some people said that he wanted to die, to see his mother again. But that's not correct. Wes didn't want to die, he just wasn't scared of it.

"Not again!" Wes yelled as his forward momentum kept going while the bike stopped completely on a gold and white head. He hit the ground flipped and stopped. Masamune, which Wes was no longer sure if it was a guy or a girl, held him up. "Aristar! Lets go get him! Lets make that symbol full!" Aristar laughed and got ready to battle. Ghost type versus a Dragon-type? He wondered how it would work out. "Shadow ball!" Aristar opened his mouth, a ball of black energy needled into place before him. It shot forward and nailed the Bagon in the back.

"Bagon!" The Bagon shook it off. It dealt out a normal amount of damage, but this Bagon was strong. Wes was determined to catch him. "Ba-Bagon!" Fire shot from the pipsqueak dragon. Aristar launched higher and Wes ducked down to avoid being set on fire. Bagon leaped into the air passing through Aristar, but he spun around and hit him with another blast of fire.

"Oh he's a strong one!" Aristar laughed maniacally.

"Aristar use Lick!" Aristar rushed forward against the fire. A tongue flapped forward and smacked the dragon. The fire stopped and down fell the Bagon. It flipped back on its feet ready for more. "He just doesn't give up! Okay, use Sucker Punch!" Aristar dove then disappeared. He reappeared behind Bagon and slammed into it. Still the little reptile got back up, worse for wear. It turned back and its claws began glowing. It rushed jumped then slashed Aristar with a Dragon claw. Aristar screamed in pain. It was a strong Bagon indeed. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, but we need to finish this quick."

"Okay. Dark Pulse." Aristar nodded. A pulse radiated forth and struck Bagon. The Bagon held firmly, but the attack continued. Eventually the Bagon listed to the ground. It wasn't done yet but it was weakened.

"Go Special ball!" The special ball was an invention of Wes'. It was tuned into one Pokemon type. Set by the user. It would be more effective against that type, but weaker against the other types. Bagon transformed into red energy and the ball closed. It shook once, twice...then a third and stopped all together. "Whew. We got him!" Wes sighed in relief. "I think I'll call you...Ragnarok. Go, Ragnarok!" The Bagon shot from the ball. The paladin-like Bagon collapsed to the ground from exhaustion. Wes leaned down and used a potion on it. It relaxed, then tackled Wes to then ground. "Gah!"

[Mizagium]

"Janie!" he called into her secret base.

[Xero]

Eric was walking through the town of Helios. Renegade, his Sableye, was jogging beside him. He waited impatiently. Where was she?

"Yolanda!" he called. Where is she? We're supposed to be at headquarters in ten minutes! "Wraith! Go!" Eric threw a Pokéball, and a green Duskull (yeah, it's a shiny Duskull), popped out. "Go find Yolanda." I hope the raid was successful without us.

[Mizagium]

Yolanda was lagging behind Eric. The sight of her old home caused a wave of nostalgia to wash through her. But only for a moment. Just then a Duskull came floating by urgently. Wraith.

"Yes, yes. Tell Eric I'm coming."

[Razgat]

Janie watched Tyler run off towards wherever the others were. She was still sitting in the small boat with Mary. Mary poked Janie and looked up at her. "I don't know what we should do, Mary. Whatever's going on here, it doesn't seem right. Maybe we should hide out into the secret base for a while. It'll be pretty hard for anyone to get in there."

And with that, Janie began to paddle her way over to an area surrounded by jagged rocks. She hopped off the boat when she pulled it over to an area behind some rocks so the boat would remain unseen. There was a small opening to the side that looked almost unoticible. She had to army crawl to get insde. Mary rolled after her. There were many different directions that branched out from the main tunnel, and unless you didn't know the right direction you'd get lost. Some tunnels lead to holes that dropped you into the ocean.

When Janie made it through the tunnel, there was a large open area at the end. It looked plain enough, but there were many water balloon guns set up on the ledges above her. It seemed amature, but it was only a distraction. There were small pads that sent you sliding into a small opening in the ground filled with water. There was only one way to climb out, which was the way back, and the only way across was to hop on rocks leading the way. But some were fake and would sink.

If you managed to get past the the random falling rocks and trap doors, you could make it to a long set of stairs leading up to a large room, Janie's secret base. It was filled with rugs, chairs, and tables, along with some decorations. Janie went directly to a small computer on one table and turned it on. On it were different screens showing all the different parts of the area outside the base. She had many security cameras set up for emergency.

Mary played around with the few dolls she had while Janie reclined in her chair. It had taken years to perfect her base, but it was a masterpiece now. She just had to wait a bit to see what was up.

[Razgat]

(Oh.....wait.....Well, let's just say Janie was already there when this happened.)

Janie heard someone's voice coming from the entrence. She checked her computer and saw that it was Tyler. She ran out her door and sprinted down the stairs. "Don't move! This place is boobie trapped!"

[Mizagium]

Tyler froze midstride, one leg up in the air. "O-okay..."

[Xero]

Wraith returned to Eric with Yolanda's message. Eric sighed. He knew this place was special to Yolanda, having been raised here, but she had to learn when it was okay to reminisce and when it was time for action.

"Alright. Good job, Wraith. Return." He held out his Pokéball, and Wraith went inside.

"Kshi!" Renegade said.

"Yes, I know," Eric responded. "We need to get going. But we can't go without Yolanda. I've got a duty to her as well as the Team."

"Bzzi!"

Eric smiled. "Yes, and to you too."

[Calefrun]

(lol boobie trapped)

As the Phoenix personnel transport vehicles moved towards their next target, Calfrun sat and admired his new rank emblem, signifying him as an officer of Team Phoenix. He was looking forward to reporting to his new boss, Eric, right after this radi on Burlain City.

[Mizagium]

Yolanda sauntered over to where Eric was waiting. She carried with her an air of superiority, and a charm that generally caused man to swoon. Eric so far seemed immune to her femininity, but she never quit testing. But not today.

"Yeah, here I am. Remind me, what are we doing here again?"

[Xero]

(lol wut? Eric is famous now? lolz)

[Mizagium]

(You made the first Phoenix Officer...)

[Xero]

"We're supposed to be scouting out the region," Eric said. "HQ said Magma found evidence that Aqua may have come through here with a new device. We've got a guy named Vinn who found the remains of a Rayquaza off the coast of Roi Rill Port. HQ believes the device will allow us to restore the Rayquaza and tame it for our own purposes. Our job..." He paused and looked at Yolanda, pointing at the volcano just outside the city, where Team Magma was rumored to have a base. "Our job is to make sure that Magma doesn't get their hands on the device. We may have an alliance with them, but who knows how strong that alliance is? If Magma gets the device, they may turn on us faster than you can throw a Pokéball."

He started walking again, heading toward the volcano.

"Once we secure the area, we're to call in reinforcements to keep watch. Then we have to go back to headquarters for our next mission."
