Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Void

Well, with all of that new stuff they added, I don't blame you, Noire.

"Hmm. That's a real shame." Zane said. "Keep those photos. If you see any of those Pokemon, come find me." A whirring sound could be heard in the distance. Zane looked over, and smiled. "Ah. About time they contacted me."
A Starmie landed a few meters away, sliding across the road until it came to a stop in front of him.. "I carry a message from Sandra of Search Team C, sir." The crystal in the center lit up as it spoke.
"Let's hear it."
A completely different voice came from the Starmie. While it had sounded male before, this second one was definitely female. "Hey, Zane, you're probably not gonna like this, but we were attacked by wild Pokemon last night, and all of our supplies are gone. I don't know if you want to send more supplies or if you want us to retreat. We'll sit tight for a while, but we need a response as soon as possible."
"We'll handle the rest of Mt. Dragoncoil in a few days, once we're finished up in Scale City. We'll give you some supplies, and you can send your search team down to Beach Cave. I've got a feeling we'll find something there."
The Starmie spoke in its normal voice again. "Would you like me to send that message, sir?"
"What in the hell do you think?"
"I'll take that as a 'yes', then."
The Starmie began spinning, making the same whirring sound as before. It sped off in the direction of Mt. Dragoncoil, and Zane got back into the water tank. "Now before I go, I'd like to thank you for that little bit of info." He smiled at Anthony as the Rapidash pulled him away.

Now that Zane was out of sight, Matt went over to the crate and opened it. Josh was clearly terrified. He was shivering, and breathing pretty heavily. "Anthony, I swear to Arceus, if they happen to be hiding in Beach Cave and Zane finds them, I'm going to KILL you." He looked around at everyone. They probably wanted an explanation. "I'll tell you guys what's going on tomorrow. I just need some time to calm down a little."
Zane's goons would be all over town looking for him. He made a mental note to tell the Pokemon running the hotel not to tell anybody he was there. Of course, they might not listen to him unless they knew he was with Terra, so he decided to wait for her to get there.

Calvin followed the commander to the storage room. He walked over to the table, and picked up one of the coins. There was a manta ray engraved into it. He put it in his pocket, then went to try the suit on. Although it looked like something from a kid's TV show, once he put it on he saw that it was anything but an ordinary costume. He felt power surge through him as he put it on. He couldn't wait to see what he could do with it.
"Dude, this is awesome!" He said. The others seemed to be enjoying the power the suits gave them as well, except the one who had gotten the grey suit. All she wanted to do was find the shooting range.

I'm waiting for Noire, both here and in DA.

Dragon's Awakening

"I don't know. Maybe, after we have more people with us, it'll be easier, but like I said, at this point trying to fix everything will just get us killed." Ralph said. He looked down at the creatures below them. They didn't seem to be doing much to Connor, but being this close to the city made Ralph a little uneasy. "I think what we should do first is find ourselves a main base. A place that's easy to defend, preferably away from the city."
Ralph didn't like the idea of being in the cities. He wanted to be as far away from the chaos and violence as possible, at least until things calmed down a little. Unfortunately, Connor seemed to have other ideas. Ralph wasn't sure if he was staying close to the border, or if he was about to venture deeper into the city. There may have been bandits running around in the forest, but it wasn't nearly as bad as it was here. "I'm not liking this. Let's go somewhere where there's less people attacking us."

Defence Force 5-New Blood

Calvin followed Commander Black around the complex, trying to hide the fact that he was completely stoned. There were two other recruits, but from what he could tell, there were a few who hadn't shown up yet. They went to their rooms, the gym, and the control center before finally stopping in the lobby. Calvin looked up at the statue of what he assumed was the previous Defense Force Five. The other recruits had questions about the sack with the red X over it, and Calvin decided to speak up as well.
"Yeah, I kinda want to know who that dude is, too."
Besides that, he didn't have any other questions that weren't already asked.

Josh and Matt headed back to the hotel, meeting up with Anthony. "So, now we just wait for Hex and Terra to get here." Josh said. "Shouldn't take them too long. I think Hex was just behind us." Just then, he heard a voice. The same voice that had been haunting his dreams ever since he escaped from the reef.
"I want every inch of this city searched. I swear, the first one to come back without information will regret it."
It was Zane. For months, Josh had convinced himself that Zane wouldn't come on land to look for him, but now, here he was. "Matt, quick, hide me!"
"Umm..." Matt frantically looked around, before his eyes fell upon a large wooden crate. "Please be empty...please be empty..." Thankfully, it was. Matt placed Josh inside, and closed the lid. Josh's only source of light was the small gaps between the boards, which also allowed him to see what was going on outside.

The sound of hooves filled Josh's ears, and moments later several Rapidash came into view. They were pulling a wagon containing a large tank of water. Inside this tank was, as Josh had expected, Zane.
The carriage came to a halt in front of Matt and Anthony. "Hello there." Zane said, smiling at them. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'm looking for a few Pokemon. I haven't seen them in a while, and I think they might have gotten lost."
A Clauncher crawled out of the water tank, and placed several pictures in a line in front of them. The one on the far left was a picture of Josh, and right next to it was a picture of Keira. There were also several other Pokemon, all of which Josh had seen before on the reef. There were at least twelve photos in total. "Here they are." Zane said. "Have you seen any of them?"
"That's certainly a lot of people to lose." Matt said, looking at the photos. "I'm sorry, I don't recognize any of them."
Zane turned to Anthony. "How about you?"
Josh hoped Anthony would be as believable as Matt was. It would be really bad if Zane found out he was lying.

Lugia, would now be a good time to do that thing we discussed in the PM?

Josh still had 1000 poke left. As he searched for a place to spend the rest of it, he came across a shop called Amanda's Threads. He went inside, and was immediately greeted by an Altaira.
"Hi there! Welcome to Amanda's Threads." she said. "I've got just the thing for a Psychic-type like you."
She disappeared for a moment, and came back with a hat that was covered in dirt and dust. "This should keep those Electric-types at bay. It could be yours for the price of 3000 poke."
"I don't have that much. Do you have anything cheaper?"
"Oh, of course I do! Come this way, I think I've got something that would suit you."
Josh and Matt followed her to the other end of the store, where she showed them a shelf with all kinds of scarves. "Now, these may look like normal scarves, but they do much more than make you look good." She picked up a purple one, handing it to Josh. "This one here will raise your Special Attack. It'll definitely come in handy."
Right after putting the scarf on, Josh felt a surge of power rush through him. "Alright, I'll take it." Josh said, giving her 500 poke.

Him and Matt were wandering around town yet again. They stumbled upon a building that appeared to be a dojo of some sort. A Garchomp approached them as they walked inside He was covered in scars, making him look pretty intimidating. "Hello there." he said. "Are you here to train?"
"Umm...yeah, I guess." Josh said. He took out 500 poke, handing it to the Garchomp.
He trained Confusion for a while, and by the time they cam out, he could tell it had become more powerful.

As they started wandering around the city again, they ran into Hex and Anthony. It seemed like Anthony had bought a new helmet. "Hey guys." Josh said. "Look what I got." He pulled out the Thunderbolt TM he bought from Danny's shop. "I didn't use it yet because I wanted to show you guys."

Dragon's Awakening

"Thanks for that. I probably wouldn't have made it if you two hadn't shown up." Ralph said, perching on the golem's shoulder - the one that wasn't already occupied by Tony. "I'm Ralph, by the way. Ralph Ivey."
It seemed that Tony wanted to rebuild society. As much as Ralph wanted to go along with that plan, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to pull it off with just the three of them. "I don't know. After seeing all that's going on in the city, I don't think that's possible at this point." He thought about it for a moment. There was obviously no way to take control of the city in its current state. He did have another idea, though. "How about we lay for a while, and try to find more people like us. You know, people who haven't completely lost their minds. Once we have more people in our group, that'll make it a lot easier."
He thought this was a good plan. He hoped Tony and the golem would agree with him.
