"Respective trainers? But, we have none, sir." Rythian glances at Jean.
"I think we should tag along anyway." Electricia shrugs. "I mean, really Ry, it's better than just staying here. It might be less dangerous, but it's more boring. And the more boring it is, the more likely Mystarii here is gonna manage to pull me into some dumb squabble."
"Oi!...That's completely true, but I still don't appreciate it!" Mystarii huffs.
"Oh. Sephie needs us, does she? Fine then...but if I sense a trick of any sort...just know that I am capable of cursing you." Sachiko warns before using her heightened senses to track down her trainer. Euphoria follows, but not without flashing Rythian another scary grin, most likely just to put him on edge.
Rythian is about to follow after them, out of curiosity mostly, when he senses a change in the atmosphere. He cannot sense auras like many of the others around him, but he instead depends on a sharpened instinct, one he honed during his time in the Revolutioneer force. His older brother, Darkclaw, was always the one quickest to go straight for the fight. Rythian was the strategical one.
His feelings are confirmed when Mystarii begins to look around, more fidgety than normal.
"I feel like somethin' weird just entered the forest...somethin' powerful that usually ain't here..." Mystarii looks at Rythian and Electricia.
"I feel the same..." Rythian mutters.
"Huh?" Electricia looks between her two friends and pouts. "Well now I feel left out! I don't feel anything!"
"...At any rate, I'm not so sure it's a concern of our. And, if it turns into one, you two know my plan." Rythian shakes his head, and proceeds to follow Sachiko an the others to where the trainers are gathering, as he originally intended to. Mystarii and Electricia look at each other.
"Plan? Did he ever tell us the plan?" Electricia whispers.
"...Maybe we just weren't listenin'." Mystarii replies. The two Pokemon then follow Rythian.

Sephie is still standing with the others, waiting, when the rest of her Pokemon show up. Well, all except for one.
"Seriously? Where the hell is he?!" Sephie groans. "I called for him an hour ago!"
"Who? Pipley? I thought he was with you already." Raven flies in and lands by her trainer's side.
"Oh, no, Pip is in his pokeball. It's been requested that I put you all into yours. Just for a short time, I promise." Sephie shakes her head. "I'm talking about Kip, not Pip."
"Last time I saw him, you were letting him lounge around in the pond over in the woods." Sachiko says.
"WHAT, WE HAVE TO GO INTO OUR POKEBALL?" Euphoria begins to whine. "NO! I DON'T LIKE THAT! THEY'RE TRYING TO TRICK YOU!" Her unhappiness turns into anger quickly, which, if gone unchecked, can easily escalate into an area-wide Hyper Voice slaughter...
"Euphie, it's okay." Sephie kneels on the ground in front of her Sylveon. "No need to attack anyone. These people aren't going to hurt me. They couldn't if they tried, and you know that."
"B-but..." Euphoria seems to calm down.
"It'll be fine. Seriously, all of you should just chill! I know I never really put you in these things, but that doesn't mean it should be a huge deal when I do." Sephie takes out 3 more Pokeballs painted like Pipley's, one painted in Staraptor colors, one painted in Sylveon colors, and one painted in shiny Meowstic colors, to help tell them apart. She puts everyone back in their Pokeballs, and takes out a last one, painted in dark blue, blue, orange, and cream. She sighs. "Come onnnn, you slacker..."
"I'M HERE! What's the problem?! WHO WANTS TO TUSSLE WITH THE KING OF THE SWAMP?!"
Sephie glances over as a huge, beefy-looking Swampert comes crashing through the trees. He wears a King's Rock proudly atop his head like a real crown, and his Mega Stone around his neck on a pendant, similar to Sephie's. He's not even mega evolved at the moment, but he's still huge.
"There you are, King Kipster! Good lord, I've been waiting for you! You already missed most of the action!" Sephie puts her hands on her hips.
"AW, SERIOUSLY?!" King Kipster looks deeply disappointed. "Man, I wanted to show people my wrestling skills! Ice Punch a few opponents in the face and shake things up with Earthquake, y'know?"
"Yes, yes, I know." Sephie snickers a bit. "But right now, I just need you with me. I gotta put you up in your Pokeball."
"That's lame." Kipster crosses his arms.
"That's the general consensus of everyone else on the team too." Sephie laughs, and sends her last remaining Pokemon into his Pokeball. Just about then, she notices the small group of Scattered Pokemon heading their way.
"Oh, hey, it's you guys!" Sephie grins. "What's up?"
"Oh, you know...craziness. Which is the norm when you're around." Rythian rolls his eyes, but smiles all the while.
By this time, Darkclaw has traveled back down the mountain base and made it to the nearby group, only to find Heat missing. He's about to go searching when he sees the group of trained meeting up from afar, and a very, VERY familiar shiny Zoroark as well. Restraining his feelings of surprise, he hides himself in the darkness of the forest and attempts to eavesdrop...

Tatakumei still doesn't speak, but her stare becomes a little less intense when Vanitas approaches the cage. She recognizes him a little more than most of the other Revolutioneers who venture down to the cells. He'd never come off as too much of a danger to her before, even when using her weak abilities of aura-sensing to identify him further. Tatakumei watches him prepare a small meal for her, and sniffs at it hesitantly. Her mother had cautioned her to inspect all that she was given while in the cage, to make sure it wasn't laced with any kind of paralytic or sleep-inducing substance. Even if her mother gave it to her herself. When the berries seem to check out alright, and Vanitas walks away, she starts eating them faster than she thought she would, not realizing how hungry she was. She's drinking the water when her cage begins to react to a sigil cast in the air by Vanitas. Tatakumei almost does a spit-take when the barrier and bars are broken and warped to make way for her escape. She's left in shock as he leaves, almost about to cry. What she, and her mother, had attempted to do for so long had been done for her. She had a chance now.
Tatakumei walks up to the opening, preparing to make a run for it, when Heat shows up and nearly causes her to trip over herself while backing up. She listens to what the large, intimidating Pokemon has to say to her, frozen with shock and confusion. Was this...a trap? A sick trick? Should she actually leave, or had her mother done something bad enough for them to take her away, or even kill her? Tatakumei doesn't know what she should do, but more than anything, she feels the strong desire to flee.
"E-even if it's a trap...I can still run from them..." Tatakumei mutters to herself. Plus, as she thinks it over some more...the Garchomp seems like he didn't want her mother raising a fuss. It made him less suspicious...but only slightly.
At any rate, she decides she'd rather be anywhere else but in these dark cells, next to a cell with the corpse of another Pokemon in it. She climbs out of her cage and leaps into the Corridor of Darkness. When she exits, the brightness, something she's been without for so long, strikes her first. She takes a moment to get used to it, but when she does, and is able to look around, she does start tearing up. She could see the sun, and the trees. There was warmth around her in the breeze. There was fresh air, and the permanent smell of blood was finally missing. Tatakumei doesn't say anything to Heat, but decides to trust him for the time being and stay by his side while she looks around.
"Rest? No. I'm fine." Aruba shakes her head and stands up, using Montainum's desk to help support her. "Besides, Vanitas said he needs me for the interrogation. I have no time to rest."
"Kehehehe, I don't even know why I bother telling you to rest sometimes!" Violetta cackles. "You never do it!"
Aruba doesn't reply, but instead glances over at Ai-yu. The Celebi catches her gaze, looking concerned about her friend.
Montainum listens to Vanitas' private reply over the speaker, and turns his eyes to Serran.
"No, Serran. Vanitas has requested a private interrogation, with only the Celebi, and Top General Aruba. He is a valued member of the Revolutioneers, and has not failed to get results in the past, so I shall honor his wishes." Montainum tells him.
"What a pity for you." Violetta teases Serran. "Guess you'll have to find something else for you to do~!" Despite her jeering, an activity she would usually put to use against everyone anyway, friend or foe, Violetta begins to get an odd feeling. Like something is...amiss. Something connected to her has been messed with more than usual. Or, at least, that's what it feels like.

"Mes excuses , je na pas se rendre compte que vous étiez petit esprit, In other words I was talking to those here with trainers and not those without. But follow me anyways." Jean leads everyone to Lucas and the others in the clearing. Turning to see all of the Pokemon slowly walk into the clearing Lucas saunters over and hugs all of his friends, continuing on to shake the paws of the Pokemon he didnt know. "Anyways if you didnt hear my friend here your Pokemon will be staying here and having roughly the same conversation the three humans will." "Thats right I will talk to your partners here while my boss talks to you." Zarkju flys over to a low hanging branch Zarkju motions for all Pokemon present over towards him. "Yeah what he said. Anyways that means your Pokemon stay here, out of their Pokeballs but thats up to you."

Serran just nods towards the Terrakion.

"My team is fine where they are. I'll fill them in after Serph is fully recovered. For now, let's get down to business, shall we?" Ventus inquires, wishing for this conversation to be over with as soon as possible. Having picked up on a familiar aura faintly giving itself away from what assumed was the Revolutioneer base of operations, he wanted to check it out as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Serph awakes from his pain-induced blackout, able to remember everything that had led up to it. "Sera? I got beat that badly, huh..." His entire body was numb and his head was being pounded by a painful headache. The Lucario's vision even had spots in it. "Shh...you need to rest for now. It'll do you no good to exert what little energy you have talking to me...Ven went to speak to the other trainers. I'm not certain as to where Aqua went, but, I'm sure she'll be fine. She's probably with the other Scattered Pokemon we met.." Serph simply closes his eyes in response, not only taking a moment to soak in all of this info, but also allow his vision to recover by utilizing his aura-reading abilities, able to get a clearer view of the world around him that way. In fact, he takes the time to search for Aqua. He was relieved at first to see that she was currently with Rythian's group of friends, but then, that relief turned into shock as he saw Heat and what appeared to be a Riolu not too far away from her. However, he could see that the Garchomp wasn't moving at all. Were his wounds just as severe or was he simply waiting for something to happen? "Heat is near her...but, he's not advancing toward her or the other Scattered...why is this?" He inquires to Sera. "You know better than anyone that Heat isn't going to hurt anyone he deems to be innocent. Especially if that someone is Aqua..." Sera responds. Serph grimaced at this remark. She was right, after all. He should have known that'd be the case. Had he really forgotten what his partner had been like before they had parted ways? "Just what is your plan...Heat?" The Lucario mutters before he finally decides to get some rest, falling into a light sleep.
Aqua begins to head in the same direction as Rythian and the others, but she then senses a presence behind, the type that she feels cannot be ignored without dire consequences befalling someone. She turns to see nothing. However, this doesn't dissuade her from wanting to see if something was behind the greenery, for in most cases, what shes tries to find is hidden from everyone's main line of sight. She dashes over to the nearby shrubbery, bursting through to the other side to find a Riolu and VERY familiar Garchomp. "Heat? Is that really you!?" She exclaims. At first, he chuckles, giving her a sharp-toothed grin. He then stands up, stretching his arms out wide. "In the flesh. It's nice to see you again Aqua.." He responds.
Internally, the Garchomp heaved a sigh of relief. Despite his current appearance, that fight against Serph had done a number on him. Taking the time to speak to Aqua would allow him to fully recover from his wounds without being dreadfully bored. "Ah, where are my manners? I don't believe you've met my friend here. Aqua, this is Tatakumei. I'm certain you two will get along great." Unfortunately for the Eevee, Heat didn't intend on answering any questions regarding his time away from her and the rest of the team. For now, at least. He had made a promise to her long ago, and he planned on keeping it. He just had to wait for the other team members to arrive. At least, that's how Vanitas explained it to him.
“Well, it seems that everyone I need for the interrogation is available. Aruba, if you’re in as good of a condition as you say you are, then it’d be appreciated if take custody of our Celebi friend and follow me to the interrogation room. It’s about time we get started…” With that being said, the hooded boy begins heading toward his destination, guiding the Pokemon to a room that is completely isolated from those outside of it. Equipped with soundproof walls, no windows, and zero surveillance, this room fits the needs of Vanitas rather perfectly. Ushering them into the room, Vanitas shuts the door behind them without any hesitation. He takes a seat on the opposite side of the table within it, looking right at Aruba and Ai-yu. “I suppose you’d feel more at ease if you had a face to connect with this voice...well, here you go!” After having gone so long with his hood on, the boy finally removes it, revealing his white hair and eerie yellow eyes. His grin adds on to his fear-inducing presence, giving his features that necessary dash of madness. "Now then, with that wondrous revelation over with, it's about time I get down to business. Boy do I have some news for you two! Tatakumei has escaped. Heat managed to get a hold of her before she could flee on her own. It's safe to assume she's under his protection now. As for HOW she escaped, well, where's the fun in telling you when I could just show you?" With that being said, Vanitas flicks his wrist, opening up a Corridor of Darkness. Instead of it being a portal, however, it instead simply acts as a mirror, allowing Aruba and Ai-yu to see the escape scene. The bars of her daughter's cage seemed to be distorted beyond repair, definitely not the work of anyone within the Revolutioneer base.

"So...what are we talking about today? Just more introductions? Background info? I'll give you guys the info. Of course, the secrets of my Pokemon training techniques, and my own magic abilities, are going to stay just that. Secrets." Sephie winks. "But seriously, I'm willing to chat. Because then maybe we can come up with a plan to rescue my Celebi pal. Maybe even my runaway Lucario too."
"I guess we can give what little info we have also." Rythian shrugs. "I do have a bit of inside info on the Revolutioneers if anyone is interested."
"Aw, Ry, you don't have to bring all that up again...I know you don't like talking about it..." Electricia frowns.
"Yeah. It's all good!" Mystarii nods.
"You say that, but really, I shouldn't keep this to myself. If we're being attacked by them, I should give my assistance, despite the bad taste it'll leave in my mouth." Rythian shakes his head as he follows instructions and walks towards Zarkju.

Tatakumei continues to take the scene in, trying to exercise her aura-reading abilities to the fullest in order to really get a feel for her new surroundings. There are many wild Pokemon amidst the tall trees and shadows of this forest they're now in, according to her findings. The beauty of it all, compared to the darkness, filth, and rust she had been in for so long before, energizes her in a way she's never felt before. Even still, when Aqua suddenly bursts through the shrubs, she stifles a cry and hides behind the bulky Garchomp who led her here. Tatakumei calms down some when she gets a closer read on Aqua's aura, and sees that she knows Heat.
"O-oh, um, hi..." Tatakumei steps out from behind Heat only halfway. She's a little embarrassed, and feels a little self-conscious in front of this new Pokemon. She looks so...normal. She looks like a Pokemon should, so energetic and healthy. In comparison, Tatakumei is positive of how malnourished, scrawny, and dirty she must look. She examines her paws, and suddenly, they feel...warm. She sends a little bit of aura power into them, and instead of a normal blue glow, a small orange flame comes up. She squeaks in panic, fearing she'll be lit on fire, but it simply dissipates when she stops the flow of aura into her paws. She glances back at Aqua and Heat, hoping they didn't notice that embarrassment of...whatever that just was.

Aruba glances at Ai-yu, without much of an expression, and takes the small mythical Pokemon by the hand. Aruba enters the room with Ai-yu and Vanitas, and sits down on the side of the table opposite of Vanitas. Ai-yu, too small for a chair, just sits on the table in front of Aruba. They both watch as he unveils his face from his hood, and Ai-yu scoots a little closer to Aruba, not put at ease at all, honestly. Aruba looks slightly interested, or surprised at seeing Vanitas take off his hood, but her expression doesn't change much. That is...until the next thing he says.
"Huh?...Who's Tatakumei?" Ai-yu only looks confused, and looks up at Aruba. "Aruba? Do you know her?....W-whoa, are you okay?"
Aruba has gone pale, and her pupils have become small, like an animal about to attack. She stays quiet, up until Vanitas shows her the scene of her daughter's escape. She doesn't even hear Ai-yu's worried little voice anyone, just the sounds of blood pumping in her head. She stands up out of her seat so fast that it falls over.
"This...is this a trick?!" Aruba tries hard not to start yelling, and to control herself. She leans forward onto the table, closer to Vanitas, and grips the table. "Who let her out?! What are you planning to do with her? I swear, if that Garchomp partner of yours is out there hurting her right now..."
"A-Aruba...who is she...?" Ai-yu whimpers. Aruba takes a deep breath.
"...She's the reason I left you and Sephie without saying anything. That's who."
Meanwhile, Montainum sits in his office, and notices "Nurse Wicked" looking a little more fidgety than she usually is.
"Violetta, is something wrong? You seem antsy." He asks.
"Oh, no, no, Monty. I'm just fine. Just one of those weird feelings. You know...when you have a feeling in your very soul that something is amiss...but, I'm fine!" Violetta replies, giving off mixed messages.

"My dear Violetta if something is troubling you why dont you and I go check it out? I can leave Spookton here in case Montainum requires either of us, he can send her to me and he will tell us what he wants. Serran smiles sweetly he had an inkling of a idea where Violetta had lost some of her power.

"Talk, is cheap. But yes we do need to talk. As for your Pokemon if I had to guess both are in the Rev's base with that other guy who was using the Garchomp. And my..... actually no thats a secret for now."

"Mon ami that was quite the little fire punch." Jean being the sneaky bugger that he is had followed Aqua, of course he had done so under orders he was told to bring everyone back to the clearing, but upon seeing the little Riolu and the Garchomp, lets just say his interest was piqued. Now walking into view behind the evee Jean sits down, "Ahh buts that's none of my business, this little ball of fun though" he points at Aqua "she was supposed to be following moi. So come on little fluff ball we need to get back to the others they are probably worried about you." He remains sitting very focused on the Garchomp.

Zarkju turns to the Zoroark,"Any information will be helpful but if you dont want to talk you dont have to right now. My friend and I are just looking for names from you other Pokemon."

“Well, well...it seems as though we all have something to hide. Just how can we trust one another if we all have secrets to keep under wraps?” Ventus remarks, rather unimpressed with the effort that has been put forth thus far from the Trained. So far, the Revolutioneers have claimed multiple victories against them. It was no wonder he had chosen to remain as a presence amongst the Scattered. He wasn’t even sure if the Trained that stood before him even had a strategy laid out, for they seemed to be rolling with the punches for the time being. Of course, the Revolutioneers aren’t without their flaws either. Those that aren’t loyal to their cause at first immediately have their minds made up through the infliction of brute force and utter cruelty. Ventus just didn’t see the purpose in fighting.
Unfortunately for Jean, he was too focused on Heat to notice the more immediate threat approaching him from the distance. Once within range, the incoming Staraptor releases a Double Edge upon the Zangoose, the force and momentum of the beatdown strong enough to send him flying into the previous clearing from which he came. The fierce bird lands rather elegantly despite having taken a bit of recoil from that offensive play. He eyes the others for a moment, as if he were gauging their strength. His hard gaze goes soft, a smirk forming along the edge of his beak. “It seems I’ve made it just in time. Isn’t that right, Charon?” He remarks. Before Tatakumei can guess as to who he is speaking to, she might notice the Staraptor’s shadow warping slightly, a piece of it seeming to split off, forming into a large circle beside the bird, allowing a Dusknoir to materialize. “This was just as milord had predicted...his summarization of Heat’s condition was even correct. It seems our friends have clashed without us...what a shame for you, Taka. It appears your idea of peace among our ranks will be even harder to achieve than anticipated.” Charon responds. The pair look over at Aqua and Tatakumei, eyeing them with a rather intense curiosity.
Meanwhile, Aqua is even further surprised to see this duo show up on top of her encounter with Heat. The last she had seen of Taka and Charon, they weren’t even fully evolved. It was good to see that they hadn’t changed much, however. She can still see the hints of Dusclops and Staravia in them. “Woah! You guys have gotten really strong since I’ve last seen you! Just where did you three go anyway? One minute, the six of us were together, having fun. The next, it was just me, Serph, and Sera that had stayed with Ven…” She inquired, lightly drifting down memory lane to that fateful day where their team suddenly split in half, the trio standing before her having left without even saying goodbye.Luckily for the Riolu, it seems that neither Aqua or Heat had noticed her brief flaming experience, too affixiated on the sudden arrival of their comrades. If she is still is taking time to get a read on their auras, something would seem rather...odd. It was if the newcomer’s auras were tainted in some way. In fact, when she went to view the auras of Heat and Aqua once again, she get that same reading from them. It was if their four auras were resonating with one another in an almost seemingly malicious way. Of course, the only one that may be unaware of this force upon them is the innocent Eevee.
Heat’s moment of surprise was short-lived once he gazed upon the two Pokemon that stood before him. In fact, their arrival brought a chuckle out of him, relishing in the fact that everything was going to plan so far. Once his team was united once again under single cause, they would be the ones to pave the road to a brighter future than the Revolutioneers or the Trained could ever hope for. “Now that you’re here, we must simply wait for the signal to return back to base. Of course, once this message is received, we’ll need to leave behind those that we’d be putting in risk with our operation. Tatakumei, I think it’s about time you made a few more friends. I’ll be leaving you here with Aqua. You’ll get along with the Scattered just fine…” He states, deciding to lay back down against the tree, replenishing his strength for the time being. Taka and Charon simply seat themselves nearby, Charon in the shade of the tree and Taka perching himself on a branch.”You can remain with us for the time being or go along with Aqua already. The decision is yours, youngling.” Heat continues. He didn’t mind playing bodyguard for a bit longer, but sooner or later, Tatakumei would have to be moved to a safer location, away from the war they were to wage soon. Sera would probably be very eager to take care of this Riolu. She may even have the capability to nurse her back to perfect health in a very short time span. With these thoughts in mind, the Garchomp closed his eyes, continuing to wait for Vanitas’ somewhat overdue signal to retreat back into the Revolutioneer base of operations.
Vanitas grins, taking delight in Aruba’s sudden surge of rage. The boy never even breaks eye contact with the Lucario, making him seem rather calm and in control of the situation.“This is no trick. The purpose of Tatakumei’s removal from this place is to simply keep her out of harm’s way. She’ll be better off with the Scattered than she would be living in a Revolutioneer cell.” However, before he can respond as to who let her daughter free, his joyful gaze turns hard, almost as if he himself were seething with anger as Aruba mentions Heat in a negative light. “To hear you say that about him is such a shame. He has such faith in you, you know. I mean, if we’re being honest, HE’S the reason your DAUGHTER IS ROAMING FREE RIGHT NOW!” He slams a fist down upon the table, seeming rather offended by the thought that Heat would harm an innocent Pokemon. However, despite this sudden display of anger, Vanitas quickly calms himself, returning back to his collected, cool demeanor. “Now, as for WHO let her out...you’ve heard of the ancient stories regarding this place, haven’t you? There were two major deities- Dialga, the master of time, and Palkia, the master of space. Now, as for the realm between those two bodies, there lies a third deity, one unknown to many Pokemon and humans even to this very day...I wonder if you can piece it together from there..” The boy says, chuckling as if he had just shared a rather funny joke that only he could understand, the laughter seeming mad, almost.

Sephie's eyes move from Lucas to Ventus, listening to both of them. She sighs and shrugs her shoulders. "You know I was kinda just kidding about the secrets, right? While I do like to keep my magic and Pokemon training methods confidential, there's little else I have to hide. I'll even tell you guys right now, that I know Montainum, leader of the Revolutioneers, and some of his other top operatives personally. I could tell you how I met up with Ai-yu too, since I know you must be pretty curious as to how a...well, I guess I'm not a 'normal' trainer....but, a trainer nevertheless, has a mythical Pokemon like that." She grins. "Still, despite everything I just said, you can trust me. Just because I know them doesn't mean I'm part of the Revolutioneers. In fact, I'd say it makes me pretty useful to you guys, all the information I have-"
"You're going to get yourself tied up and interrogated. Again." A hand lands on Sephie's shoulder. She turns to see Pipley standing behind her. She looks down and sees his Pokeball open in the ground. Sephie puts a palm to her face.
"Pip. Seriously, STOP breaking out of your Pokeball like that!" She huffs. "Ugh...I swear, maybe too much Pokemon Amie CAN be a bad thing..."
"I'm merely doing my job and trying to protect you." Pipley has a bemused grin on his face.

Tatakumei is nearly overwhelmed by everything that is going on around her. Not only had she just gotten free, but now there were strange, big, intimidating Pokemon coming within her vicinity at a rate she couldn't keep track of. The strange Zangoose is first, but then suddenly there's a big Staraptor attacking him, and then a huge Dusknoir appearing out of the shadows, and everyone seems just completely fine with this. Tatakumei takes a breath to steady her trembling figure. She tries to smile weakly at Taka and Charon before turning back to Heat and listening to what he says. Tatakumei takes another moment to read the auras around her before she makes her decision.
"A-alright then...um...I'll go. T-thank you." She nods to Heat and the others before venturing into the clearing, hurrying on her way. Though she doesn't quite distrust Heat and his other companions, the aura she just felt resonating from them had unnerved her somewhat. She quietly steps into the gathering of people, behind most of them. No one notices her right away, so instead of calling attention to herself right away, she stays where she is and listens in.
"Well, I won't talk your ear off. I just feel I should warn you about a particularly...eager member of the Revolutioneers. My brother, Darkclaw." Rythian says. "He's a normal Zoroark. Not a shiny. But, he's savage, quick, and good at his illusions. That is, when he remembers to do them. Most of the time he leaps straight into the fray. I used to be in the Revolutioneers with him, but...then the carnage started. I hated it, so I pretended to be dead during one of our battles, and escaped out here."

In the shadows, Darkclaw seethes with fury. So, this shiny Zoroark WAS his brother. Darkclaw is bitter at his betrayal, and what he perceived as cowardice from his younger brother. This wasn't all that enraged Darkclaw, however. He had picked up a scent that he knew far too well. Looking at the back of the clearing, he spots her. Tatakumei. Out of a cage.
Unacceptable.
Tatakumei looks around at all the Pokemon and humans she can see now. She dares to walk a little closer. "U-um...hello?"
Sephie and Pipley turn around to look at the little Riolu in the red scarf. Pipley's eyes seem to narrow for a moment, as if the sight of the Riolu mystifies him. That's not it, though. It's her scent that messes with Pipley's head.
Of course, being unable to notice such things like scents, Sephie doesn't take much notice, and crouches down to get closer to Tatakumei's level. "Hey there! Where'd you come from, cutie? You look a little...uh..." Sephie is having a hard time thinking of a nice way to say it. "....abused..."
Tatakumei looks down at the ground, but she doesn't deny what was just said either. She looks back up at Sephie and opens her mouth to say something, but suddenly her eyes go wide. She picks up on an alarmingly familiar aura, and her heart leaps up into her throat. She manages a short scream when a pair of blue eyes make themselves visible in the nearby darkness. A Zoroark leaps out into the middle of the clearing.
"Well, speak of the devil..." Rythian scowls.
"Look, I don't mean any harm. I have no fights to pick with any of you. Not even you, little brother." Darkclaw states with a slimy smirk. His eyes focus on Tatakumei. "But I need my...little daughter over there to come back with me, if that's alright.
"N-no! He's lying!" Tatakumei cries out shrilly. Darkclaw frowns a bit. In the middle of all this drama, there's a sigh.
"Everyone, no need to jump on this one. I'll handle this." Pipley holds up his paws and addresses everyone in the clearing. He then casually walks up to Darkclaw.
"Tch, what're YOU gonna do?" Darkclaw sneers.
Pipley's bemused grin returns, and he clears his throat, as if he's about to give a grand speech.
"...No." Pipley throws out his hands and hits Darkclaw with a quick Dazzling Gleam attack, like someone spraying a cat with water. "No. Bad." He repeats this a few times.
"H-hey! Quit it! STOP! STOP IT NOW!" Darkclaw cries out in frustration each time he's attacked. Finally, his anger boils over, and he aims a slash at Pipley's throat with his weaponized claws. He raises his arm, but before he can bring it down, Pipley jabs him in the stomach with his wooden staff, knocking the Zoroark to the ground.
"Now, you have two choices." Pipley leans on his staff, looking over his opponent. "Run off like a little sissy and save your skin, or I'll light you on fire."
Darkclaw looks absolutely pissed, but he quickly scrambles to his feet and runs off.
"That was awesome!" Sephie stands back up with a laugh.
Tatakumei stands relieved in the background, but something in her mind clicks as she watches Sephie and Pipley.
She recognizes them. She's never seen them before, but...they match up with the stories she got told. About who her mother's trainer was. About who Tatakumei's father was.
"...my trainer? Oh, she was an odd one. A girl in a with hat who wore a scarf no matter what temperature it was outside..."
Sephie straightens her witch hat and wears a sly smile. "Were you really gonna light him on fire?"
"....Tataku, your father was a Delphox. A tall, lanky fox-like Pokemon with fur in warm colors. A fire and psychic type..."
"I saw no reason not to, should it have been necessary." Pipley shrugs, walking back to Sephie's side.
Tatakumei smiles and starts to cry.

Violetta turns to Serran and thinks for a moment. "Welllllll...I suppose a peek wouldn't hurt. Fine. You may accompany me, mortal~." She cackles, despite her worrying, and starts heading in the direction of the room with the holding cells in it.
Aruba stays quiet as Vanitas responds to her, even when he turns to yelling. She growls lightly, but stands back up, and puts her chair back where it goes.
"My apologies for offending you, but you of all people should know that I have little reason to trust anyone in this facility at all." Aruba says. She smirks, just a hint of a smile on her lips. "I know of which deity you speak. the great Giratina, yes? My trainer...she knows a lot about such legends as well. I mean...she wouldn't have met Ai-yu here if she didn't."
Ai-yu fidgets around a little at the mention of her name. She trusts Aruba more than Vanitas right now, but to her, they're both acting a little scary.
"At any rate...I suppose now there's no reason for me to stay here." Aruba fights back a wide grin as she continues talking to Vanitas. "I mean...if Tatakumei isn't here, there's nothing keeping me here either. I'm finding it very hard to care anymore now that I know she's free, but...I suppose I should ask you what you gain from seeing to it that she's free. Not that I'm expecting you to reveal this to me, but...you have a plan, don't you?"

After muttering a long string of expletives in french, Jean gets up and dusts himself down. "Sha, Carl, I require some assistance." Carl and Sha nod,"Follow moi." Jean leads them back to where Aqua and the Garchomp are, "I repeat myself monsieur, I have orders to bring all of the trainers pokemon who where with them back to them. I don't want to use force but I will if you resist." Sha and Carl stand ready for a fight slightly behind Jean.

"Just because I am human, doesn't mean I'm mortal. But lucky for you I still am mortal." Serran follows Violetta. Just before reaching the cells Spookton appears next to Serran.

Lucas just stood and watched as Pipley fought with Darkclaw. "You might have been joking about keeping secrets, but I wasn't. I am also surprised, usually Zera stays in Mega form but when he entered combat his form dropped. That intrigues me. But back to the subject at hand, if I didn't tell you my name is Lucas."
