Paranormal Activities [SporkoBug and Calle]

Mitch took in the words silently and nodded at the end. What was he getting himself into? But it was better than doing nothing, in the very least this sounded like an interesting mission. Dante was probably the most capable one to be in charge; he understood everyone the best. Lydral was interesting, or at least his weapon was, but unpredictable. Duncan... Mitch glanced at him, was elsewhere with his mind. It was hard to determine what he thought though.

Mike and Benjamin looked at each other as Dante addressed them.
"Don't worry about me," Benjamin said. "I won't get in your way. If you guys can get Steph out that's fine with me. I'm sure you can decide on a plan of action without our input."
"We have no experience in operations like this," Mike added. "There is nothing we can add. Besides..." he glanced to Benjamin, "if I return to the agency I might hear more of their plans."
Benjamin nodded to that; that was actually a pretty good idea.

The door opened again and a guard brought in a tray with something like a hospital meal on it: a cup of soup, a plate with three compartments filled with potatoes, a piece of meat and some boiled carrots, a pudding, and a glass of water.
"Your meal," he said as he put it on the table. Without another word he left the room again, closing it behind him and locking it.

Lily beamed when Steph called the room gorgeous and lavish. "Oh, of course you'll get books," she said. "What is the use of shelves if we don't stock them, right? Just write down a list of the books you like and I will see what I can find for you."
She turned to the door. "Meanwhile I will make sure you will get something to eat. Oh! I will ask the chef to make some Tiramisu. Ever had some? It's delicious."

Two male guards arrived at Gaia's cage, both holding tazer sticks that were a recent invention; they weren't taking any chances with this beast as it was known to be dangerous. "Come with us," one said. "Do you want your food alive or dead?"
The other opened the cage and gestured for Gaia to step outside.

"Where is the other?" the agent asked as two other agents moved in to grab Daz by his arms and drag him to the base where he could receive medical care. "The one that fought with you."
They had no visual on Harriet and it worried them. Where was she?

A Trainers Ambition [SporkoBug and Calle]

Michael stared at Arceus. He probably should be glad he assumed Niccia wouldn't want to return to a Pokémon life and the idea she would stay with him was a happy one, but he still couldn't shake the feeling it was wrong, somehow. Maybe because he was human - the idea a parent would just replace their children was awful, and Gavin had not taken it well; he had seen that.

"Look," Andy said as he almost shoved Varina in Arceus's face. "She's with me now. Darkrai abandoned her after his failed attempt to abduct my nephew," he said, gestured with his head to Michael as he used both hands to hold the keystone on front of him. "And that was his second attempt at it I might at, because my nephew had been abducted by him earlier, but with some help managed to escape from him. Oh, and as a FYI, I am dating Frosiien. And I'm Andy Bansing, by the way, pleasure to meet you."

"Right," Mindy said as she looked around. "Wow." She knew the nicknames of the groups, and now that she knew she did see some details in their appearances give away who they were.
"Xapher!" Penalopy hugged him back. "This is my friend Mindy," she said as she pointed to her. "Oh, and Niccia and Frosiien both have a boyfriend and you should totally date Mindy. She's cute, isn't she?"
Mindy's cheeks turned red. "Penalopy," she hissed. "I'm not here to look for a date."

"Because we know you, sister," Gathaar said. He walked off to greet the two brothers of Frosiien and Handeer went to the two remaining malesof the Swords of Justice.

Ezzar nodded back to Yalgai, smiling as she did, but strode to Nygari and sat down next to her. "You look stunning," she complimented her. "How are you today?"

Tanter gave Seth a pat on the back. "Go on, mingle a bit. We're always happy to welcome humans here." He glanced to Heathran. "Well, most of us anyway." He turned to Dausiin. "And how have you been doing? It's been a while since we last saw each other."

Nobody Will Believe It [SporkoBug and Calle]

"Me too," Benjamin said as he pondered whether or not he should tell her. He decided he should. "After you took your meds Ari was a wisp, not able to hold her form, and you were just staring at the wall. Then she took control of your body and you were in your mind back to your childhood; you didn't recognise me or Dia. Those meds really messed you up." He looked at her. "I don't know what they're giving you, but that wasn't a side-effect. My pills do nothing to me, except give me a headache."

The insane asylum

"I don't think I will ever be comfortable here," Benjamin said. "But I appreciate you're here with me. It makes it easier."
He fell silent as he looked around. "I'm bothered most about Simon..." he whispered, not wanting others to hear him. "He died, I know he died. I saw him. But the staff keeps insisting he just went home. It wasn't a hallucination, I'm certain of that."

Being in this place did make him doubt; nurses had told him repeatedly that hallucinations could appear very real. What if... he shook his head as the thought started to form. He was not insane; ghosts were real and he just happened to be able to see them.

Nobody Will Believe It [SporkoBug and Calle]

Benjamin nodded and continued to the mess hall with Ray. He flashed a smile as he looked at her. "It's good to see you too, I'm glad you're up again." He examined her for a moment. "You're in better shape than last night. Do you remember what happened after you took your medication?"

It was good to see Ray again; he enjoyed her company and he could freely talk with her about what he saw, because she was the only one who believed him. And she was company he could talk to without anyone bringing up medication.

A Trainers Ambition [SporkoBug and Calle]

Andy grinned as he walked towards Arceus with the keystone under his arm. "You know, I'm going to miss you having to possess Gavin and make him throw up just to talk with me. Gavin, on the other hand, will be quite pleased about it."

"Replacements?" Michael asked as he looked from Hyia, to Gavin and Niccia, and finally to Lecrero. "Most humans never see a legendary Pokémon in their life. We call you legendary because most only hear stories about you. Jirachi slumbers for a thousand years and I haven't met anyone who believes Jirachi is just a fairy tale." He shook his head. "I don't think anyone would have gotten suspicious if Gavin walks around for a few decades; people would just assume he was really well hidden."
He honestly couldn't believe what he had just heard. A new Mew, while Mew was still alive? Now he understood why Gavin had reacted like that, but why wasn't Niccia upset about this? She had even hugged Hyia.

Mindy turned to Saveri and then examined the new arrivals. It was really hard to tell what Pokémon they were. They all looked so human, with some unusual features. She gave up on trying to determine who was who. The other two, Andy and Michael, were more read up on Legendary Pokémon and were probably able to make educated guesses, but they seemed to be busy with other things.

Voltar turned to Xaphar and flashed a smile. "It's okay," he said to him. "So, what are we going to do first?"
"I don't know what you guys are going to do," Ezzar said, walking foward in a long green and white dress, and flowers in her long, green hair. "But I am going to mingle. "Oh, Nygari has a beautiful dress on." She waved to Anzar, Voltar and Xaphar and strode away.

"It's Star Fall," Gathaar said. "That's all about leaving things in the past."
Handeer nodded to show he approved with that statement. "But please behave during Star Fall," he added. "Everyone has to be able to get along today."

Tanter frowned at Seth. "Okay then. I stand corrected. Whatever you are, if Dausiin thinks you're good enough for Star Fall, then I won't question it. I do suggest you won't glare at Dausiin like that, we try to be honest with each other at Star fall." He glanced at Yalgai briefly. "Some manage to do so better than others."
