Thanks to some input from his Pokemon, Adolphian was nearly finished with the repairs to his transport. He began to relax and feel complacent. Despite the disaster he and his team had to face, he felt relief in knowing the incident could have gone a LOT worse, especially with a prototype. Had the crystalline reactor on board failed, it could have caused the entire craft to go up in a shower of explosions akin to little more than fireworks to anyone viewing from the ground. Of course, the scrap metal falling from the sky certainly doesn't usually follow fireworks, but they wouldn't have known that. His peace and quiet was cut when the sight of a great blue serpent flew through the air, barely missing Adolphian and his craft. The scream of it's trainer and a bone-shaking roar was enough to rattle him to his core. Fearing that a threat had entered the area, Adolphian put down his tools and returned his Pokemon. "Potential threat nearby. Code red. Stay inside, I look. I send code clear when danger gone." He commanded in his signature broken English. The pilot and her co-pilot nodded and stepped inside the transport as instructed as they awaited the more battle-ready trainer to investigate the serpent. Holding a Pokeball in one hand and some sort of tool in the other, he cautiously approached the direction which he last saw the fearsome creature in. The device he held seemed to bear a resemblance to the pistols that used to be used by police forces, though it carried a sleek shiny brass shell, had a sort of half-cylindrical barrel and a stripe of shining blue down the centre, capped with a sphere of the same material. The tip sparked as he disengaged the safety. Though he had Pokemon with him, he wasn't entirely used to battling. He was more used to using his disabler to weaken Pokemon enough to leave him alone, a practice held by many Stahlblatt residents, a vestige still remaining after the war. It might not have such effect to a well-trained Pokemon, but it was certainly enough to discourage a wild one from making dinner out of him. In reality, it was no stronger than a low-level Pikachu using thunder shock. Upon slow approach, he met up with a trainer who seemed down on their luck. They seemed to have fallen off their mount Next to them was the great ferocious Gyrados. He had never met such a creature before. Stahlblatt certainly wasn't known for water types, let alone ones that grew to be so large. Sending out his Ninetales, he took cover behind a rock and got ready to utilize his disabler from his safe position. The Ninetales; though still nervous from the transport ride, she was dedicated to protecting her trainer. "Ten specjalny operator jest gotowy do serwisu! Jaki jest porzÄ…dek, szefie? (Translation: "Special operator, ready for service! What's the order, boss?") The Ninetales spoke, the gems decorating her fur glimmering as she prepared to protect Adolphian. His visor lit up as he peered at the strange woman and the Gyrados by her side. She was certainly odd, unlike any other human he'd seen before. Her skin was a pale pinkish tan and she didn't seem to have any natural crystals embedded in her. Perhaps she'd removed them? Her hair was a dark ebony black, perhaps she'd dyed it? Why didn't it have any colours other than black? She was a truly strange human. However, perhaps the residents of Sinnoh were simply peculiar, Adolphian thought. According to his scanner, she didn't seem to show any signs of danger according to his scans. However, her biosignature was definitely off, at least compared to the baselines he had on hand. He couldn't tell why, but several key areas were different as well as lacking entire energy signatures. "Human, or... Whatever you are! Identify! You nearly cause damage to Nanocorp property! What you do, being so reckless?" He shouted from behind the hopeful safety of the rock he hid behind. Though he didn't preform any acts to indicate immediate hostility, he was certainly incredibly cautious. This was the first human from another region he met after all, who knew what kinds of danger they were capable of! The facility he was headed to could have been a safe haven from the dangers of the world, but she was a complete unknown. Little did the scientist realize she was headed to the same location he was. Though fearful of his own life, Mr. Blueman didn't seem unreasonable. Though he was quite different from what anyone had seen, the fact he had some Pokeballs indicated he too was a trainer. Of course, his Ninetales was quite different, but perhaps she was a regional variant? But how could she speak? What trickery was the strange, technologically advanced man and his Ninetales up to? Were they aliens? Perhaps from another dimension? Wormholes opened up that occasionally spat people out, perhaps he was one of them? And what was that strange language the Ninetales spoke? Perhaps the two were simply from a far-away land that nobody had heard of. There was something on the news a few years ago about a strange region that briefly opened it's doors to the outside world, only to close them a few months later and become highly restricted to visitors. Perhaps he was from that strange, oddly secretive place? So many questions, and so little answers.
