[h3][i][b][color=gray]Valiant Village Guild Briefing[/color][/b][/i][/h3][b][Valiant Village - Village Guild][/b]

As the Noibat entered, some of the Pokemon present in the room gave a slight nod. More Pokemon began filing in and taking seats, usually with their respective teams. The room kept its silent, yet not somber, atmosphere as everyone waited for the Senior Members to enter. And, after several minutes, they finally came into the room. However, the observant members would notice immediately that Spirit and Zen were not present as they took their spots in the center of the room.

[color=0072bc]"Alright, we've got a lot to do today, everyone, so let's not waste time with pleasantries and get this started."[/color] Luna said, all eyes focusing on her. [color=0072bc]"Firstly, we have received reports that Flash, a Scizor Wanted for Multiple Robberies and Believed to have been Aligned with Mewtwo's Army, is heading North."[/color] She said, many of the experienced Guild Members turning to one another, wordlessly conveying their worry with a single look.

[color=0072bc]"At the end of today's Briefing, Riot will be selecting a group to take with him in pursuit of him."[/color] She paused, letting the air clear before continuing. [color=0072bc]"Onto our usual topics, our Job Boards have been updated with new Job Requests from Pokemon in the area. For those not selected for the previously mentioned assignment, continue with your normal duties unless pulled aside by one of us."[/color] She continued, taking a single breath before continuing.

[color=0072bc]"Speaking of which, Wade and Scarlet, we'll be continuing our special training today, so meet me at the Training Dojo after Briefing."[/color] She finished, taking a step back as Riot took the floor. [color=fff200]"Alright. Flash is a dangerous opponent to face in battle. I should know... that's why I'll be choosing those who I choose for this mission. I know his tactics, and how to counter them."[/color] He turned, facing Team Wildfire. [color=fff200]"Hiryu, Riptide, you're in."[/color] He said, as he began turning to other various teams. [color=fff200]"Team Flashforce. Tai, Barker, I'm counting on you."[/color] He said, turning away from the Arcanine and Meinshao seated nearby as he focused on the last group. [color=fff200]"Team Specter. Shuri, Raf, don't let us down."[/color] He said as he pointed to a Mismagius and Weavile. [color=fff200]"Those I've selected, get your gear ready. We're heading our in one hour, so make all essential preparations."[/color]

And with that, the various assembled teams headed their separate ways, with some heading out towards Town Square, with others staying around the Guild.

[h3][color=0054a6]Spirit the Lucario[/color] and [color=5F9EA0]Zen the Meowstic[/color][/h3][b][Valiant Village - Village Guild: Guildmaster's Office][/b]

[color=0054a6]"... Are you sure."[/color] Spirit said sternly, Zen replying with a nod. [color=5F9EA0]"Some of Mewtwo's old forces have been dropping off the grid. Everyone's going on edge. They think it means that he's coming back, that he's reforming his army."[/color]

Spirit's blood ran cold. He looked stressed beyond belief. He took a seat at his desk, putting his hand to his head. [color=0054a6]"This can't be happening... not again..."[/color] He said, looking up at Zen. [color=0054a6]"How certain is everyone?"[/color] He asked, Zen putting his paw to his chin. [color=5F9EA0]"Right now, it's only rumors and speculation. And that's bound to cause panic."[/color] He replied, Spirit nodding. [color=0054a6]"You're right about that... don't speak about any of this to anyone other than myself, or Luna. I'll tell her about it myself."[/color] He looked downward and closed his eyes. [color=0054a6]"If he is returning again, we'll have to be ready..."[/color] He said, the room growing quiet.
