@Terminal ... Holding them in until the moment they're as most inconvenient sounds fun. XD
Edit: ... Ah, um. Let me save your life, there, Luca... How high up is he?

Tell me if I messed up somewhere, and I can edit. Hah.
Lataniva obviously knew it was Arex that was closest to her, because of his very distinct impact to her field of awareness. Regardless, she wasn’t about to show him an inch more respect than anyone else in the crew, and when he had been the closest to her when she had trouble with the comm-device, then so it was him that was commanded to help her out. Sandra also joined in here and there, teaching Lataniva how to use one of these. Okay. So press that button when intending on communicating, and wear it like this, and… The unnatural cause- and effect infuriated Lataniva, who didn’t get why pressing a button caused communications to happen. Regardless.
Sooner or later she had good enough a grip of it that she could use it… to a degree. She might fumble trying to press the right button, but she had an idea. She didn’t give any particular thanks for the help of those that had assisted here, merely a nod of acknowledgement, before she got herself ready.
Lataniva really had no objection to being scanned. However, she didn’t raise any particular objection to when Jack fired at Maxi’s robot. If they had problems with one another, that was their problem. She wasn’t about to take the role of a babysitter if the rest of the crew got themselves into arguments. More like, the less arguing that was being done, the better, but Lataniva was most certainly not going to get herself involved in any ongoing argumentation if she had no reason to. More like, the mere fact Jack had fired first made her less enthusiastic about being close to him while the attention was still on him.
When it was time to get ready. Lataniva sat down, waiting for the time to be unleashed. She closed her eyes, perfectly calm, letting the noises around her sound out before coming to a rest until the next amount of sounds. There were jolts, flashes and other things happening, one of which could very possibly be a beam from the station obliterating them and her life if something had gone wrong. Wasn’t really a concern to her. If it happened, it happened. Now it didn’t. Lataniva had no means to affect their odds during space-travel so, may as well stay extremely calm.
So, then after numerous shots and other things, the door finally opened. Lataniva was on her feet so quickly, it could have assumed she had used her own psionic telekinetic ability to propel herself, and such an assumption would be correct. She had already withdrawn her halberd from back and dashed right out the door, prepared for action. So… the comms said their first opponents were a bunch of security robots.
She then took off running in his direction, using her power of awareness to avoid the bot’s fire if they were firing at her, predicting where they’d be aiming before they fired and avoided the fire. That was her intention. After that, it was simply a matter of catching the miner she had intended on disabling.

‘Tsk. Robots. They are not even alive. No instincts to assist them. Their kind could never hit me. They do not interest me.’
Lataniva complained with a raised chin glaring down the room. What on the hand DID interest her… were those fleeing miners.‘So eager to run…’
She mumbled as she grabbed a knife and threw it in a single deft motion. Now, in addition to the force of her arm, she also applied her full telekinetic force to the knife, sending it flying unnaturally fast towards the slowest miner’s left leg, at the back of his knee. If Lataniva hit as she intended, her sharpened knife would pierce straight through his knee and he most certainly would not be running away from them no more. She needed at least one mind to read.She then took off running in his direction, using her power of awareness to avoid the bot’s fire if they were firing at her, predicting where they’d be aiming before they fired and avoided the fire.

@Terminal On it. Despite my less than tip-top current mental state, on it. I'm under the impression Kael was a bit further away still, so I wrote it like that. And that run is just assuming I wasn't suddenly impaled and killed, if that's the case tell me, and I'll react correspondingly. Hahaha...
It seemed she had somehow made it out of that cloak of hers alive. She noticed how the gravity was acting all wrong, but didn’t know what to make of this. Amelie had some potential theories in her mind, but she kept those to herself right now. A more immediate concern was the fact that, due to having stumbled, she was perhaps among those that were the closest to the suddenly expanding mass of the limousine, even if she perhaps wasn’t all that close to it.
Still agitated and panicked from the near-death experience of the cloak, Amelie threw herself away from it while creating a Redirection Orb that she was jumping through, so that after landing and rolling a bit away she could turn and be ready for any more lances coming her way and hopefully redirect them through the orb if needed.
Assuming she wasn’t dead after that, Amelie then broke into a run to go join the others by the enemies they had hopefully been neutralized by then, because they seemed to be somewhat in the same situation and then perhaps they were her ticket to survival. Maybe. She kept a steady eye looking up at sphere while she did, just in case. The run would take a few seconds.
That is, she was running over to Donny (though he had gone over to a wall), Luca, Fortune and Andy, though she didn’t know their names. She wouldn’t reach them quite yet, though.

I remind once again that Amelia is a number of hours forward, therefore Laurinda can be on both locations at once... Haha.
@Rune_Alchemist So, in this case, I actually handed over control before you actually captured the Pokémon with a Pokéball. You won't get the messages unless you actually put the Pokémon in one. ... So you COULD decide not to actually capture the Pokémon, if you felt like it, in this case. Ha, ha, ha... ... ... Gah.
@Pikmin Eye Sooo, maybe I should implement a system so that you can roughly gauge the level of an opponent at a glance? Maybe? Because this turned slightly hilarious on my side. Hahaha.
@Delta44 And you're offered continued contact. Congratulations, young girl. You've made contact with the arguably nicest of the rivals, at least among the boys. Hahaha.
@Joshua Tamashii Of course, all she says is merely her own recommendations, you don't need to listen to her~ XD
@Pink Madness I kind of need @Eklispe's post first before I respond to yours, you're in the same location, but yes, I'll get to it as soon as he posts!
...
Yell at me if I forgot something or somewhat. Haha.

‘Phox.’ Delphox merely commented before taking a few steps away, crossing her arms and idly positioning her wand so that she could waste time by staring into the fire.
The Weedle stared up at Claire where it was placed. To get as close to Weedle’s height as she could she’d likely have to almost lie down, it was only 30 cm tall (compared to full length or what, official stats?), and in obvious distress as she lowered herself. It lowered its stinger in warning when she came closer… but then turned out to not attack, since she didn’t. Its gaze waved between her, Ralia + clones and Delphox for a few seconds when Claire made her offer.
Sooooo, Weedle glanced around a bit. It was an empty scenery filled with the charred fainted bodies of those who had engaged with Delphox, who was still standing over there, and… … …
‘Weedle.’ The bug jumped onto Claire’s hand, quite content with taking the less painful option.
‘It appears… you’ve gone a bit wild.’ Laurinda suddenly came walking back, a calm expression on her face as she watched over the surroundings. She didn’t look all that approving, and Delphox was completely declining looking at Laurinda for the moment while her trainer stared at the bipedal fox for a couple of seconds, before giving a bit of a sigh, accepting the situation.
There was someone behind her that had walked along. The girl of average height stood with blonde hair, white shirt and black-white patterned skirt, gazing over the surroundings with a look like she owned the place and had everything in complete control, even though she clearly didn’t. Her blonde hair extended in two long twin-tails, and she looked quite impressed with the field of destruction, and her gaze wandered to rest on Claire.
‘… Oooh? Heh…’ She made the slightest of a sound effect, looking interested, but otherwise kept quiet.
‘… I’ve finished my business.’ Laurinda stated, looking a bit exhausted. She looked at Claire. ‘We’re heading back. I’m not leaving you here.’ She stated, her voice a bit less patient than it had been on the way here.

So, at the command, Nincada dashed forward and scratched at Bulbasaur. The reptile with a bud on his back recoiled a bit as the bug’s slice scratched him, damaged, and then Martin threw his Pokéball. So, the Pokéball sailed through the air and-
SMACK
… Bulbasaur struck it out of the air with a Vine Whip, staring forward at Nincada with a little scratch-wound on his cheek but apparently not all that damaged by it. This Pokémon might be higher level than Martin had anticipated, and had just deflected the Pokéball with little additional thought. The Pokéball flew into the wall on the side and bounced to a standstill on some rocks, still completely fine and able to be thrown again if Martin retrieved it.
‘… Bulba-SAUR!’ The green Pokémon used Growl, right into Nincada’s face, reducing his attack. Then, the Vine Whips rose, making ready to strike down at Nincada to make life a bit more unpleasant. Martin maybe had to consider again how he wanted to go about with this.

During the contest, Joshua had been ranking the contestants between 1 to 10, pressing the button as many times as he gave them the rank. Though, from the sound of it, there were quite a few in the audience who were just smashing the button like crazy whenever anything was on stage. It was like its own kind of applause.
At the time of the announcement of the winner, there would indeed have been quite a bit of cheering. Ewan wasn’t the kind to shout out, though Joshua had started to but stopped himself when he realized Ren was speaking. Hearing Ren speaking was much more important than just making noise. He then nodded eagerly at her words, though still paying attention.
‘Don’t worry, it was my pleasure~’ Joshua responded to the thanks. He then listened to her talk about being interested and… Joshua turned and pointed north. ‘The adventure starts in Redcoast City!’ He announced. ‘Named so for the color of the skies in the twilight hours as you stand on their coasts, it holds the Normal Rank Pokémon Contests! There, they also have training for all potential contestants and all the information on the matter which could be of use! Potential coordinators gather there, hoping to make it big!’ So he informed, and turned to smile at Ren. Pikachu dashed up and landed on Joshua’s shoulder as he did, also smiling happily.
‘I’d love to fund you watching more shows, but now we’re broke too!’ Joshua grinned happily, his face saying “worth it”.
‘He’s broke. I’m not.’ Ewan corrected, though he didn’t look like he was intending on spending his remaining funds.
‘Yupp! So, we probably need to do some of this actual Pokémon adventuring to earn some funds for when we arrive in Redcoast City! You might also want to catch Pokémon, if you want to use different Pokémon in each category, or maybe you want to try making your partner become the All-Star?’ Joshua spun about, Pikachu holding on for dear life, while shielding his eyes with a hand, as if to look mysterious all of a sudden.
‘Aaaah, the legendary All-Star… A Pokémon that has been able to win all five categories. Its existence is a myth, for no Pokémon has ever managed to do it…’ Joshua chuckled a little. ‘Penelope is attempting it with Purrqyute. She’s already won in all categories on Normal Rank, and she’s got Clever, Beautiful and Cute covered on Super Rank. I predict she’s going to struggle with Tough and Cool, however…’ He looked to the Pikachu on his shoulder. ‘Think you could do it, little buddy?’
‘Pika-pikachu!’ The Pokémon promptly lifted both hands in determined victory to gesture that indeed he thought he could. Joshua chuckled a little. ‘Of course you will!’ He then spun back to Ren, making Pikachu hold on again while Joshua smiled to her.
‘Hey, how about we exchange numbers? Even if we go separate ways, we can call one another when we eventually reach Redcoast City, and continue the discussion then! Or, if you ever just wanna chat sometimes, that’s fine too!’ Joshua offered, taking up his Pokédex, because it was also his phone with numbers and such. ‘You offer too, Ewan!’ Joshua commanded.
Ewan had merely been standing, watching with a neutral calm expression, but did a little nod to his friend’s command.
‘Alright. I remind once again, declining is an option, but at the very least, this is an option we’re offering. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.’ Ewan said, reaching to potentially take his out too. All depending on what Ren wanted now.

‘…’ Laurinda looked at the young trained with a slightly concerned expression, taking a little while to answer. Though, then she finally did.
‘Who told you that? I sincerely hope the words came with a grave warning. Because, their presence in these woods are unknown to most travellers. In fact… … … Who told you?’ She reiterated the first question, looking concerned with this. Regardless of the answer, Laurinda would then continue speaking.
‘Listen. Attempting to get a Ghost-Pokémon out of these woods is possible, but extremely dangerous, especially at your level.’ She said, having discerned the level of Amelia’s Pokémon with but a glance. ‘I would not recommend that you try traversing there on your own. I would also therefore appreciate if you do not tell any other young trainers of their presence in these woods, or the number of trainers I have to save before they get into trouble is going to increase considerably.’ Laurinda stated, looking a bit tired. She might have had a long day.

My first instinct was to cheer and link "Still Alive", but then it occurred to me that perhaps that's a little premature. Hahahahahahahahaha...
@Tickout ... Oh, dear. Scanning. Does that mean I need to come up with Dalentian biological information? XD
