Is This Really A Thing? DE-CANONIZED21:33 RefMankey One could say the intercom was a useful tool, for a voice could be heard from it. A feminine one. Briefly. This was confirmation that the leader has been sent to the room in clear English. And as such...there was no wait at all. With a shuttering noise and a blue glare, the shape of an upright man in cloak began to form. It already stood taller than Ankoku,
21:35 RefMankey who bowed at the figure forming in front of them. For a short meeting, he...didn't dress "short" by any means. This man wore a black university garb on top of a white button-down and black pants, ON TOP OF shiny black dress shoes, and /another/ red shirt.
21:37 RefMankey In short, this man materialized, glorious blonde hair and all:
21:41 RefMankey The man lerched down to Ankoku. He wasn't blatantly muscular like Ankoku, and yet, while holding his chin, appeared more powerful than /he/. What came next was a voice high-pitched and confusing for a giant of a figure, asking questions such as: "This is the reason you called me here, correct? You recognize the punishment for joking with me, correct? You mean
21:43 RefMankey all of this in full?" Ankoku, after almost pleading with the most of his "gibberish," ended his confirmation with, "Very well. You will be tested." He turned, then, to Alice. His eyes more or less scanned the girl, his face perplexed.
21:43 RefMankey "...hm."
21:47 AliceHope Alice's stomach knotted tighter, and she gazed at the figure that appeared on the screen. She didn't know what she was expecting, but it wasn't that. She had friends with older parents, but hers looked far younger than their age-- or at least, the mother she knew did. "I'm really related to this person?" She questioned Ankoku again, at risk of another fit, be
21:47 AliceHope fore glancing to the man in front of her. "You lead Team Rocket?"
21:58 RefMankey The man now peered at Ankoku, and back to Alice Hope. His optical search reaching a conclusion, the man-err, "father"-finished his conclusions. And then he crossed his arms, turning back to his underling. "...Ankoku, I have a hard time believing you. Alice Hope...this woman?" For the first time, he spoke legible English. "...far as I know." "Very well then...
22:00 RefMankey ...so you're the troublemaker that's also my daughter." He folded his arms again, but this time, he...smiled. His teeth, pristine, were flashing white. "Ankoku, you may leave temporarily. She is going to ask the questions now, and I need no disturbance from you." Ankoku, with a sigh, left the room. What was almost his biggest mistake was his meticulous use of
22:01 RefMankey sign language for endearment - two fists joining together - but Mr. Hope narrowed in like a bull. Guy was out the door.
22:10 AliceHope Alice didn't exactly want Ankoku to leave, but there he went, apparently terrified beyond belief of the man on the screen. "You run Team Rocket. That makes you the troublemaker." She challenged awkwardly. She didn't like any of this. Alice just wanted out. "How do you know I'm your daughter? That doesn't make any sense to me."
22:23 RefMankey He bowed his head down somewhat, making sure Alice could understand him in full. He was a centimeter away from drawing something from his second shirt. "We all trouble eachother, I guess. For instance," he said, pulling out a blank slip of paper like an ID card. He did not display the contents, but continued: "...how, if I even had a daughter, how she'd be
22:26 RefMankey so distant from this world." The man's collar was accidentally undone by some force; it took a brief moment to put it back in place. "No, that's it. I did. But...more importantly, you knew your father was in team Rocket, even though you barely knew him?"
22:29 AliceHope "I had no idea until five minutes ago. If it's even true." Alice added, "Me taking on Team Rocket had nothing to do with you. It had to do with rescuing a stolen Vulpix, then an abducted father, and now the islands you're destroying!" She insisted, "And I won't help you. I'm not helping you with any of it."
22:44 RefMankey The father figure really just nodded at her first comment, willing to get a better handle over the situation. He heard her complaints, even her will to never serve alongside the leader of Team Rocket. He was just hearing a person vent. To start, he refuted her statements: "I'd rather it be a dead island than many starving. But that is just my opinion." Team
22:45 RefMankey Rocket had to have some reason to exist, and this man just reinforced it. But for a moment, he interjected himself with a palm on his hand. "Do you remember my name?"
22:47 AliceHope The man's response took her aback, and she wondered what he meant. Furthermore, there was no getting a rise from him, although perhaps that was for the best. "No." Alice replied, "I've never met you. I don't know your name."
22:53 RefMankey The man looked a little more awkward trying to greet himself., hand on his chest and...smirking? "Right, dumb question. Solomon. That's out of the way. Now..." He could tell Alice was visibly baffled by his statement. Starving people? "Team Rocket...guess what its intentions are." He smiled, waiting for the "daughter's" answer.
CANONIZED21:58 Grader_Mankey Let us leave off at this lovely spot~ 22:03 Grader_Mankey Materializing from the psychic cocoon was a man taller than Ankoku. This figure gained at least half a ruler on Ankoku, and even without blatant muscle, stood as stolid as the bodybuilder. His attire could be described as perfect for the job, for this man's square collar popped in the translation. A suit with a jacket emblazoned with that familiar red "R" 22:04 Grader_Mankey became the last thing Alice would see turn from that shade. vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/bloodplusanime/images/4/4f/David.jpg/revision/latest?cb=2012040508365422:05 Grader_Mankey ( vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/bloodplusanime/images/4/4f/David.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120405083654 ) 22:08 Grader_Mankey The man immediately walked to the other Admin in the room. Ankoku bowed his head down, with a face void of expression. Their conversation was brief - an experienced linguist could pull bits of over ten languages - but it ended with Ankoku heading out the door. "Your show now, Alice." A wink. The man stood with his hands behind his back, saying nothing more. 22:12 AliceHope Alice's eyes widened at the sight of the man. Neither old nor young, she noticed the same shade of hair and differing colour of eyes. He was much, much taller than her, although so was everyone. She wished Ankoku hadn't left, grimacing awkwardly when she was left alone with the man. This wasn't what she wanted at all. What was she supposed to say? "So... You 22:13 AliceHope run Team Rocket, then?" She asked, her posture a little more hunched and submissive than intended, "I'm not helping you with anything..." 22:20 Grader_Mankey A confused voice. That was his cue to turn around, facing the one Ankoku deferred the conversation to. It came exactly as he expected, a question about his affiliation. "Leader works. Sure." The conversation quickly devolved into a cold stand-off. Well, not so much, with his supposed daughter (with a raised eyebrow) making demands. He did not budge. 22:23 Grader_Mankey Instead of snapping back or generating a come-back, the man crossed his arms...and smiled. He replied with little force: "I was invited to solve a puzzle, one of your...origins." The rest would come eventually. 22:25 AliceHope Alice eyed the man closely, lips parted in a mix of disbelief and contempt. Even just hearing his voice was strange, although she didn't find it to be familiar. "And? What did you find...?" 22:28 Grader_Mankey His smile faded; his reply then instantaneous and sharp: "So you're willing to work through with this? It isn't often we have...a schizophrenic, I take it?" Even he recognized the vulgarity of his statement. Might as well ask that, first of all. 22:30 AliceHope Alice's expression showed the offence she took, and the girl glared. "I am not schitzophrenic." She might have been, for all she knew. Too many diagnosis attempts, too many medications and dismissals, "If you've been investigating me properly then you'll know I appeared out of nowhere here. I am not a liar." 22:35 Grader_Mankey Oh, /forget/ /it/. She wouldn't see how damaging her diplomacy, or lack of thereof, would be in a situation such as this one. It was even stranger to hear such a proposition, being born of thin air. With a frown, he confirmed: "Our agents have confirmed this, in part. One of those seven Grapefruit Islands - you and an ally island-hopped your way around." 22:36 Grader_Mankey "You've encountered some strange Pokemon, including one of our Victreebel, on said island. Does this match your description?" 22:38 AliceHope "That ally was the first person I met here!" Alice insisted. This was frustrating. She was not 'born' of thin air, but simply of another place. And if she wasn't, then what did that make the rest of her life that she could recall? "I met that Victreebel when I first caught Kangaskhan. It almost killed the sailors from the fruit ship. We thought it was wild." 22:48 Grader_Mankey "A 'yes,' then." A smile; this had to start somewhere. The man decided to sit in a chair composed of long, silvery, intertwining branches and a velvet seat. With a gesture, he encouraged Alice do the same. And from that pocket of his, he conjured a small, black nameplate. Serif font read: "SOLOMON HOPE." His justification: 22:49 Grader_Mankey "I'm no fan of introductions, miss," He propped this item on an appropriately-styled table. 22:53 AliceHope Alice took the card from the table after she sat again, nodding. He was intimidating to the core, and Alice just didn't know what to do with herself. "How do you even know I'm your daughter?" She asked, "Does it even matter to you?" 23:00 Grader_Mankey He laid his cards on the table: "...neither do I. But when one of my associates informs me a child of mine has arrived," he smirked to his left, "how else will I satiate my curiosity?" 23:02 AliceHope "He knew, but you didn't?" Alice asked. That didn't make sense, or perhaps he wasn't communicating right. "None of this makes sense, you know. Maybe he's wrong." 23:09 Grader_Mankey "My dearest coordinator, a lot goes through my brain and back. Hell if I remember one of my children, especially one that (so suddenly) ended up on the Grapefruit archipelago." The solemn realization he gave a solid five seconds to settle in. "I like puzzles, though. This identity crisis is among those. But step one is identification...unfortunately." He tilt 23:10 Grader_Mankey ed left ear to Alice. 23:12 AliceHope "You make it sound like there's loads of us all over the place." Alice mused grimly. She was losing more and more faith in this idea by the second. Ankoku must have pokeblocked up, no matter how angrily sure of himself he was. "Let me guess, there's not enough to identify myself with?"

15:34 DaiRef "Well tell me your secrets.... go on..." He stated, not letting up on his grip. His strong tense hands locked her arm and she couldn't move very far from him. He tucked her a little bit closer to him so he could hear every little detail she had to say. "You find me insane, yet you're the one going insane... aren't you?" 15:36 AliceHope Alice's jaw dropped at his words. She had no idea what to say to that. "I don't know. I don't know because people come out with things like that and don't explain anything to me!" It would make sense that she was losing her mind. If this world was real, then what did that make of the last decades of her life? If this one was fake, or they were both either... 15:37 AliceHope Then why her? "My secrets? I have too many even I'm struggling to keep track! I've not known was going on for the last-- however long it's been. Weeks. Why d'you even think it's my father and not somebody else's, anyway? Do you have proof?" 15:43 DaiRef "Hmhmhm...hahaha...HAHAHAHA!" He began to burst out into laughter after she asked for 'proof'. "You've got to be kidding me..." Ankoku then finally let go and walked over to a large screen on one of the walls and then pulled up an image. It was Alice, however she was wearing a black team rocket uniform holding on to an older man's hand. He had glasses and had 15:44 DaiRef quite a serious expression as he looked at the camera. Alice looked around the same age as she did now. "Is this proof enough?" He smirked looking back at her. 15:44 DaiRef vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/bleachfanfiction/images/0/01/Tamayura_more_aggressive-09-nozomu_natsume-businessman-friend-old-grey_hair-suit-tie-glasses-critic-stern-harsh-honest.jpg/revision/latest?cb=2014062220264815:44 DaiRef ( screwed up the image ) 15:44 DaiRef 15:46 AliceHope Alice's eyes narrowed, her expression grim. She felt sick at the sight of the photo. "That's not me. I'd remember-- and it's not me." She insisted, her voice dark and unnerved, "I've never been a member of Team Rocket. You've got the wrong girl." She faltered, looking away and pacing shortly before stopping once more, "Ankoku. You don't understand-- the Grape 15:47 AliceHope fruit Isle, where I found my Slowpoke... That time was the first time I'd been anywhere near Pokemon or these regions in my life. It's not me!" 15:48 DaiRef Ankoku looked at her, confused by what she was talking about. "What are you referring to? I don't understand what you're talking about? Are you trying to tell me you're from a region where pokemon don't exist?" He wanted more explanation. 15:50 AliceHope "-- Sort of." Alice replied, inclining her head either way in thought, "It's more... Where I'm from, Pokemon are supposed to be just fiction. Stories, toys, pretend. Even Team Rocket, Magma, Flare... Like it's not real." She explained, "I woke up by myself. The girl I was with and that crew... I would've been alone without them. Or you." She paused, "I kept e 15:51 AliceHope xpecting to 'wake up' or something like I was dreaming. But I didn't. So I just went with the flow... I suppose I felt excited or invincible or something." She breathed an awkward laugh, "Like I said, I was adopted. But that girl isn't me." 15:53 DaiRef Ankoku looked at her strangely... now pondering the thought of why she was saying all of this. She didn't remember how he had saved her when her father would give her lashes, or when the other team rocket grunts attempted to kill her he was the one to stop them in their tracks. It just didn't add up. He then walked towards her angrily. "Who the hell 15:54 DaiRef do you think you are!?" He pushed the table in front of him out of the way with full force, it screeched and then flipped to it's side. The chair was kicked across the room. 15:56 AliceHope Alice gasped, attempting to pull away again, but to no avail, "I don't know! Just some girl caught in a mess!" She insisted, "It's not like it's impossible! Unown, legendary Pokemon, there are all sorts of other worlds and realities out there! Team Rocket should know that by now! -- I don't really remember what it was like being a child. I could be from this 15:57 AliceHope place, but that girl's too old to be me..." She trailed off. What if it was an alternate self? What if it was her, and her memories were at fault? "Did she have any Pokemon, or anything? I didn't. I just had Slowpoke." 15:59 DaiRef Suddenly, the walls around them started to slowly churn, as if they were moving on their own. The picture on the screen started to turn in strange patterns, the pixels were becoming distorted. After a few moments the screen cracked and glass shattered everywhere. The room became silent after that. "What the....?" Ankoku looked about the room strangely, unsure 15:59 DaiRef of what had just happened. 16:01 AliceHope Alice ducked, flinching as the screen shattered in front of them. Instead of trying to get away, she was now content to hold onto the towering executive. "I-- I don't know, I..." She looked up at him, panicking, "We should get out of here!" 16:04 DaiRef Ankoku looked about the room, seeing as the room started to bend in different directions...no the air was too. He looked around him with a tense expression on his face. "Shit...I didn't want this to..." He then picked up Alice and started to run out of the room. Quickly he bashed through the doors and yelled through the hallway. "Everyone out!!" The grunts 16:05 DaiRef began to panic as they saw the distorted room behind Alice and Ankoku. 16:08 AliceHope Before she knew it, Ankoku had swept her up in his arms and started running. She might as well have been a feather to his strength, whipping through the corridor like a hurricane. "Run!" She screeched, some of the grunts merely staring on the spot. It helped, but it would help more if they ran without disorder. 16:11 DaiRef As they continued to run, the grunts started to lag behind, only to be caught in the distortion... as they were more caught inside of it they looked as if they were running slower and slower as if time were slowing down for them. Quickly Ankoku ran towards the empty corridor and then found himself entering through a passage to a staircase that led up to the 16:12 DaiRef alleyway Alice had entered moments ago. It was now night time, oh how time passed so quickly. With a matter of seconds the building above the hideout stretched into itself before exploding outwards. Ankoku lunged forward and he landed on his back, keeping Alice safe from pain. Some of the grunts made it out, while the others were caught in the blast. 16:14 AliceHope Alice screamed as Ankoku threw himself from the blast's radius, opening her eyes to find that they were safe. Her blonde hair blew around her pale face, seeing that behind them there was smoke, fire, dust and... Reality distorted. She looked down at Ankoku in disbelief. "You saved me. Even after that." It was more of a thought made vocal, "Are you okay?!" 16:17 DaiRef Ankoku coughed and looked into Alice's eyes. "Yeah...." He then got up and then released his Swellow. "I have to go now..." He stated, ready to take off to the skies. 16:18 AliceHope "Wha--? No! Hey! You can't just ditch me after that!" Alice snapped viciously, keeping her hands fisted tightly around the Rocket's shirt, "You sounded like you knew why that happened! And you can't just throw tables and chairs around me and then leave!" 16:20 DaiRef "Get off of me." He then pulled the girl off with brute force and his swellow took a quick yet powerful lift. The talons latched upon his arm and he soon began to soar. "Stay out of Team Rocket's way girl." 16:21 AliceHope "It's not happening!" Alice yelled back angrily. She stomped her foot and huffed as Ankoku gained altitude, soon to be a blip in the sky. She turned her head to look at whatever remained of the disaster, anxiety showing instead. What the hell was that?

15:18 <DaiRef>: Once more...the man had disappeared from the poor girl who had almost just gotten her body engulfed in flame and smoke... the explosion was a little too real. Crowds of people were gathering around the area, and the police started to whine their sirens towards the area. Some people were panicking from the situation unable to fathom what had just happened. A 15:18 <DaiRef>: few people looked injured and hurt from the explosive debris, so ambulances had come to aid the people caught in the nightmare blast. 15:20 <AliceHope>: Alice was stunned, and it took her a few moments to be able to react to anything. Eventually - perhaps against her better judgement - she released her Slowpoke. The dozy pink hippo peered into the fire, his expression as gormless as ever, "Slowpoke, be careful, but try to help those people with your heal pulse, alright?" She asked of him. Her heart was poundi 15:21 <AliceHope>: ng away, blue eyes skimming the increasing crowds. She was so very confused, so very scared, and once again, the girl felt absolutely helpless to do a thing. These Rockets probably wouldn't help her, but she hoped even the faintest aid and compassion might do them all some good. 15:23 <DaiRef>: Soon enough the slowpoke waddled over towards the people and let out a silly yawn before breathing a light of life around the surrounding area. The wounds that were blasted open into some of the people's arteries and limbs were quickly closing and a light filled the surrounding area. The police force was impressed, but there was still much work needed to be 15:23 <DaiRef>: done in the area. They too brought a couple of nurse joys to the scene and their chanseys were doing work amongst the people. This was definitely not the most deadly aftermath, but it was still enough for even the nurses to be in quite a shock. This rarely happened on the orange islands, as it was a peaceful archipelago. 15:25 <AliceHope>: While Slowpoke helped the nurses do their work, seeing the emergency services arrive helped the cogs in her brain to turn more usefully. "Starmie, Kangaskhan, Donphan;" Alice started, three more Heal Balls tossing upward and bursting open with a minty fresh light, "Help everyone put the fires out and move dangerous debris! But be careful, okay?" She added. Sh 15:25 <AliceHope>: e didn't want them to set something off or trip a harder fire or anything like that, it could mean death if they did the wrong thing. 15:26 <DaiRef>: *BOF* *BOF* *BOF* 15:28 <DaiRef>: Within moments the pokemon worked their magic and started to attempt to subdue the flames with their abilities of soil and dew. Within moments the fires spiraled down into little more than a kindled campfire.... it wasn't before long until the flames died out completely. Torin and Mika were still not at the scene however, leaving Alice to be working alone. 15:30 <AliceHope>: When the fires were down and while everyone was distracted, Alice recalled her team when things were done. As much as she would love to interrogate the Rockets present as they were wheeled into ambulances and hauled into police cars, it wasn't worth the risk. She decided to slip away, using her petite stature as an advantage to wade through the crowd. 15:39 <DaiRef>: Soon enough she was out of the crowds, only to find that the nearby roads were a lot quieter than before now that the action was just behind her. Still, Torin and Mika were nowhere to be found. The ocean just beyond the city sparked from the moon's light rays...a calmness overlooked the distant ocean horizon. 15:41 <AliceHope>: Alice hummed. She wasn't too sure where her friends might've gone now, but she decided to head in the direction of the Pokemon Centre. She needed somewhere to rest and try to process all that had happened anyway, and that was probably one of the better places to do so. 15:42 <DaiRef>: #OrangeMandarinIslandCenter 15:47 <DaiRef>: Soon enough Alice had entered the center, a nurse walked over towards the poor girl and looked at her curiously. "Are you alright miss? You look incredibly drained... are you feeling sick?" She continuously asked questions to Alice, unable to make out how she was feeling. 15:50 <AliceHope>: Drained was an accurate way of putting it, although she wasn't there yet. More than anything, Alice felt in shock. "Y- yeah. I was near the explosion site, that's all. I helped out there, but I think it just overwhelmed me a bit." She replied, smiling pleasantly and trying to wave off the situation, "I'm looking for two of my friends. A big tan guy with blue 15:50 <AliceHope>: hair, Torin. And Mika, a petite girl. Taller than me, pretty dress." 15:54 <DaiRef>: "O-oh....yes them... hmmm... they went to the mart nearby to buy dinner. Please, go lie down on the sofa over there. We are preserving the back rooms for the explosion victims... but I will bring you dinner. Have some water though..." She poured water from one of the sinks and handed it to the girl. 15:55 <DaiRef>: "Please relax, ok sweetie?" She asked in a somewhat motherly tone. "Poor thing..." 15:56 <AliceHope>: "Ah, thank you. Please, not too much, though." Alice still wasn't sure that she could stomach a lot, but she did go and take a seat on one of the sofas. Curling her feet into her side, boots on the floor beneath her, she took to dazing out of the window. 16:03 <DaiRef>: Soon enough Mika and Torin had entered the center shortly after the nurse went to grab Alice some nourishment. "Alice?" Mika ran towards her and fell on the sofa leaning in for a light hug. "We were worried sick about you...are you alright?" She asked curiously. 16:06 <AliceHope>: Alice jumped when she heard Mika's voice, shifting slightly to face them. She wasn't sure if the hug was currently welcome, but shakily returned it nonetheless, "Um. Yeah. It didn't go as well as I planned, but the base blew to smithereens, so people were forced to retreat... That's gotta cause Team Rocket some issues, right?" She considered with a light chuc 16:07 <AliceHope>: kle, albeit a forced one, "What about you two? Did you get up to anything?" 16:13 <DaiRef>: "We haven't spotted much...unfortunately... we heard about the explosion and became worried... however... we went to the store and brought dinner. Dumplings, rice, salad, and a bread roll." Torin shrugged. "Yeah, I didn't feel like cooking tonight...man, you look awful..." Torin wrapped his massive arm around her, pulling her body close to him. She looked 16:14 <DaiRef>: looked in shock, and she needed the comfort. "Here...do you want my food Alice?" Mika suggested, allowing to give up her food for her. "It'll make you feel better." 16:16 <AliceHope>: Alice could appreciate the gestures. These two were loving, and Torin's arms felt so much more comfortable and protecting than Ankoku's. Remembering the Executive's name brought a rush of flashbacks: of thrown furniture and screamed rage. Shaking her head at the offer and pulling back, Alice smiled again, "No, thanks. Nurse Joy is bringing me some. I do love 16:16 <AliceHope>: rice, bread and dumplings, though. Maybe next time." The right kind of bread and especially dumplings were favourites of hers, "What fillings did you get?" 16:22 <DaiRef>: "Actually the dumblings contain vegetables and udon noodles... I've never had these kind of dumplings so I'm not sure how this experience will go... the bread has a strawberry paste inside of it though, which sounded great from the description. Here, let's split it..." Mika smiled and broke off half of the large puff of dough and handed it to Alice. 16:24 <AliceHope>: "Strawberry paste? I dunno, that could be funkier. Sounds more like a dessert." Alice's tone was becoming more informal as usual, but she did sound as if she had just been blown away even still. Taking the piece Mika offered with a word of 'thanks', she took to munching. "... It's a little weird, but a good weird." 16:29 <DaiRef>: "By the way... what information did you snatch from there..." Torin asked, looking down at Alice's eyes...or rather an attempt to since they were sitting so close. Mika tasted it, giving an... 'it's satisfying, but not the most delightful' look on her face. "Maybe we can figure out where to move next while we wait for your food." 16:31 <AliceHope>: "I still have two gym badges left." Alice pointed out automatically, although she knew that wasn't really what Torin meant. She wasn't even sure if she felt up to all of that. Hauling herself up Navel Island's mountain was her idea of Hell. She'd rather sit and listen to Ankoku yell at people for the amount of time it would take her to hike the summit. "I did 16:32 <AliceHope>: n't... Find out anything helpful." Alice confessed quietly after a moment, "I only really got more questions..." 16:35 <DaiRef>: "What happened?" Mika asked right off the bat, not giving much time for Alice to breathe. She took out her pair of chopsticks and began to dig into the rice first, planting dumplings on it to let the flavors soak into the rice. The nurse had arrived just in time and bought Alice a bento meal, with rice, fried seaweed, and roasted sea cucumbers inside of it. 16:35 <DaiRef>: There was also a chocolate cake in one of the slots that would be the finisher of the meal. "Here you are...please relax...oh...and there they are..." She said smiling. "Welcome back you two." She was then off to work some more, leaving them be. 16:37 <AliceHope>: Alice thanked Nurse Joy once she brought the meal over. The sight of cucumbers was something to dodge, but she knew that one of her Pokemon would like it or the others were welcome to pinch them. "I'm not sure we can talk about it in an open space." She said, but then glanced up at Torin, "The executive with the Swellow, who blew up the boat. 16:37 <AliceHope>: His name is Ankoku." 16:42 <DaiRef>: "Ankoku..." Torin was now looking at her with wide eyes scratched his head in confusion. "H-he was working on the boat... I even remember his room... there was something strange about it actually... I should've noticed earlier." He looked at Alice and then a serious look grew on his face. Mika looked at him curiously. "W-what is it Torin? You knew him?" 16:43 <DaiRef>: Torin nodded. "Yeah, we worked together temporarily... and shortly after I met him I met Alice right after... he had...a map connecting the dots all over the islands in a strange pattern...but I'm not able to remember what he was doing...I should've payed more attention...." He scratched his chin. "Although I do remember him saying something about a power 16:44 <DaiRef>: hidden in the depths of the island current... something powerful." He stated. "He was quite curious about it, but we already know that piece to the puzzle... I wish I would've payed more attention." He stated. 16:46 <AliceHope>: "We can sit and wish about it forever, but unless Jirachi wakes up in one of the side rooms it's probably not happening." Alice mused dryly and somewhat bitterly. She fell silent to eat, and in the end, took a risk that she was otherwise too scared to make, "... There's a lot about me you don't know, that I haven't said. But the stuff I saw in there... I'm st 16:47 <AliceHope>: arting to think that Team Rocket know me better than I know myself." She confessed, "There's something wrong with me. I think I might be unwell..." 16:50 <DaiRef>: Mika looked at Alice and placed a hand on her leg. "Don't be pouting now...you've made it this far." She beamed out a smile and her eyes locked into Alice's. "Sometimes....we need to be reminded that we don't know our true heart. Despite what they know however, our character is built from not what people know...but what they 'don't know'. I think you're 16:51 <DaiRef>: understanding a new version of yourself..." She said with a smile. "I think we are all going through it...you just have to uncover more than us..." Torin looked at Mika, nice words...but very off topic. "I don't think she's meaning that...do you know Team Rocket /personally/ Alice?" 16:52 <AliceHope>: Alice's lips twitched into a smile, but it was wry and pained and fleeting, "I think so. But I don't remember. I literally don't remember a thing." She said to them, awkward and unable to maintain eye contact, "I'm adopted. But there was a photo of me in a Team Rocket uniform and with a man that Ankoku said was my father. It could've been fairly recent... Exc 16:53 <AliceHope>: ept that it's literally impossible. There's no way it could have happened. I've never encountered Team Rocket before the Grapefruit Islands." 16:56 <DaiRef>: "That's strange...well...what do you remember before the Grapefruit Islands then Alice?" Torin asked. "You never told us about your history.... if you can even recall it at all. Do you remember faces, family members, friends, books, games? Anything?" He asked, trying to understand where she was coming from. 16:58 <AliceHope>: "Yeah. I do. But the reason I've never really told anyone is because they'd never believe me." Alice explained, "Fumiko didn't. Ankoku /definitely/ didn't. He took it personally. Actually... I'd've probably died in that explosion if he hadn't got me out." She rose her eyebrows, the memory obviously playing over in her head, "And then flew away with that /pokeblock 16:59 <AliceHope>: ing/ Swellow..." She'd have Dedenne strike that thing out of the sky one day. Arceus knew her mouse would enjoy doing it. 17:00 <DaiRef>: "Well then...explain it...I'll believe you... we've made it this far, so I trust you by now." Torin stated with a nod. He placed his large hand on her hair and messed it up a little patting her as if she were a child. "Hehehe..." Mika continued to eat and listen, she was starving. 17:04 <AliceHope>: Alice sat back, picking at some of the rice and helping herself to some water. "I'm from a place where Pokemon are fictional. Not supposed to be real. The islands aren't. Team Rocket aren't." She said, almost blunt if not for how awkward her posture was, "I never thought it was real until after the islands when I didn't 'wake up'." She accompanied the phrase 17:06 <AliceHope>: with air quotes, "I was sure I was crazy or dead. I still wonder sometimes. I don't really know what's going on anymore. I'm just... Doing stuff. Trying to enjoy it." Alice added, "I mean... Other worlds, alternate realities can exist. Arceus, Palkia, Jirachi, Deoxys.... There are plenty of Pokemon to prove it. But still. It's pretty unbelievable, isn't it?" 17:08 <DaiRef>: "Hmmm...that's it..." Torin's face had a theory pop into it. "Maybe...one of those pokemon showed you something...or transferred you from somewhere...but which pokemon..." He questioned, unsure of whether or not he was on the right track or not. Mika nodded and continued to eat. "Mhm....sounds like it..." She said with a smile. "That would be cool if Alice 17:08 <DaiRef>: met a powerful pokemon, or something." 17:10 <AliceHope>: Big blue eyes widening, they fixated on the pair. "You're... Really just going with that?" Alice asked incredulously. It felt like the burden had lightened a little bit. It was relieving, but Alice thought they were absurd. "Really? You just believe me?" 17:14 <DaiRef>: "Yeah...I believe you Alice..." Torin smiled. "In fact...I had encountered a magical pokemon when I was a kid...and nobody believed me..." He stated with a chuckle. "I could almost remember the way it felt..." He stated. "Pokemon are incredible creatures, they can do things that we can't...." He said with a nod. "I think it's likely... and even if that 17:15 <DaiRef>: wasn't the case you're special!" He said with a chuckle. Mika nodded. "You are definitely interesting Alice...the way you rocked the boat contest was unbelievable you know." She smiled. 17:16 <AliceHope>: "The light might have something to do with it." Alice considered thoughtfully. She could still remember the warmth of being engulfed in it and the shock on people's faces. Nobody spoke about it after, like it was something to be suspicious of, "Something isn't right or normal, but I know I'm human. Pokemon is the right direction, but there are hundreds of the 17:17 <AliceHope>: m. But anyway... Which Pokemon did you meet, Torin? I'm surprised it didn't inspire you to catch some."
Torin met Lugia as a kid and was saved from the ocean by it...He didn't become afraid of the water because of that pokemon.
17:23 <AliceHope>: "Lugia's one of my favourite Pokemon. That's so amazing." Alice beamed. That was uplifting. It was a shame that not everyone was so lucky as to have a godly Pokemon take care of them like that, but it was cool that Torin did, "A Lugia's supposed to live in the Orange ocean, you know. You're pretty safe staying here."

16:23 <DaiRef>: "Ri-right.." Torin said with a nod, taking his last bite of the cheap meal he had purchased from the store. "So, shall we call it a day and maybe head towards another island? Since we don't have very many clues on Team Rocket's next plan of action, we should probably continue your gym challenges Alice." Mika nodded. "Yeah, you want to go for those, right?" 16:23 <DaiRef>: "Maybe we will have another one of those fashion show contests or something too." Mika stated, knowing how much fun they ended up having regardless of their rivalries. 16:25 <AliceHope>: "As long as we don't run into anymore bitchy people, I'm up for those." Alice replied with a wry curve of her lips, recalling all of the bad types met on the sea trips so far. "But yeah... Kumquat and Navel Island are left, so we should head in those directions." She said. There was another potential course of action, too, and she couldn't help bringing it up 16:26 <AliceHope>: , "You know... If I really existed here once... There'd be records, wouldn't there? I wonder if we looked them up, what we might find?" Alice asked thoughtfully, back resting against the cushioned booth seat. "Although it would've probably been a long time ago, and I don't know if my name would be the same..." 16:29 <DaiRef>: Mika looked at Alice, her eyes having a hard time to look into hers... "Y-yeah. Maybe." She stated trying to grasp the situation at hand. Torin rose up and stretched. "Aaaah... well...I think I'm going to call it a day folks." He stated as he walked over towards the nurse. "I'm sure we'll figure things out, but we all need a good rest before we continue. I- 16:31 <DaiRef>: mean look at all of us, we have been tirelessly looking for answers, and we keep running into trouble everywhere we go." Mika nodded. "Y-yeah! We will figure some of these things out..." She then picked up the trash left by the meal and threw the them into the disposables. 16:32 <AliceHope>: Alice had noticed their urgency to escape the conversation at hand. Her expression faltered. So much for the positivity of moments ago. "Yeah. I suppose we can head to the closest of the islands tomorrow and see what happens." She agreed, albeit with less enthusiasm. "Let's just head to bed." 16:34 <DaiRef>: Soon enough Torin paid the nurse the lodging fee and chuckled. "Well, I got us all separate rooms...so I hope you don't mind... here's the key to Room 5-D..." He stated, placing the small key into Alice's palm. "If anything happens, don't be afraid to wake me up..." He stated with a nod. Mika grabbed the other key from Torin's hand and made a breathy yawn. 16:35 <DaiRef>: "Hyeaaah... well... off to sleep...good night!" Mika stated before going towards the escalator that lead to her designated room. 16:37 <AliceHope>: "Yeah. Goodnight." Alice replied with a wave to them all. She made sure to thank Nurse Joy for the food once she was done eating completely, disposing of what needed to be before heading upstairs. She could do with a cuddle with her Pokemon and maybe a call to Professor Ivy before going to sleep. Alice couldn't see herself settling easily. 16:37 <DaiRef>: #OrangeMandarinIslandCenter5D ^^ #OrangeMandarinIslandCenter5D was not sent to this channel. Please use /join to join channels. 16:38 <DaiRef>: #OrangeMandarinIslandCenter5D 16:38 <DaiRef>: *creak* 16:39 <DaiRef>: Alice entered the simple room. A bed, a television on the wall, a bathroom and a small dresser laid neatly in the room. A window on the other side of the room was half open, letting a cool yet semi-tropical humid breeze enter the room. 16:42 <AliceHope>: Alice entered the bedroom, locking it behind her. She pulled the window further ajar, closing the blind after before releasing her Pokemon. They all deserved some space and time to sleep outside, after all. "I'm going to run a shower, guys, okay? Play nicely." She instructed, beginning to undress and cast her clothes aside. She only wore her panties to bed, a 2 <AliceHope>: nyway. It was too hot and that meant she could wash and have everything dry overnight, even if nothing could be properly ironed. 16:46 <DaiRef>: They pokemon nodded, cuddling and being very bored out of their minds. Alice entered the shower, it was a nice soothing luke warm, a little on the cold side since most of the hot water had been taken by the previous owner of the room. 16:48 <AliceHope>: It didn't matter that the water wasn't too warm. Alice preferred it on the colder side anyway, usually leaving it on freezing right before she switched it off. Having a warm shower in the Archipelago felt absurd to her, anyway, unless one had been caught in a cooler storm. "Do any of you want to play in the bath?" She asked, towel drying herself. Alice smelle 16:49 <AliceHope>: d of the fruity and flowery scents from her various hair products and washing gels, much better than the sweat and grime from the explosive Rocket Headquarters. 16:53 <DaiRef>: The pokemon went towards the bath, a smile lifted on all of their faces. Slowpoke slowly creeped into the tub, which made the water level rise a bit. It almost made a splash, but was a little too slow to make it rise over. Dedenne, staying away from the water, didn't want to accidentally shock it's owner. 16:55 <AliceHope>: Starmie seemed content to just recharge to one side, especially with how big it was, and Butterfree perched on the end of the sink. Donphan, of course, was steering well clear. "Dedenne, you'll be fine in there as long as you don't get overexcited." Alice assured, giving Slowpoke a good ruffle of his pink fur, splashing the water over her little hippo. "I tho 16:55 <AliceHope>: ught it would be fun if we could play together if people aren't tired. I don't feel like sleeping just yet." She said, keeping a playful smile and tone as she splashed at the baby Kangaskhan. 16:58 <DaiRef>: that Butterfree was sitting on. The butterfree, then quickly got shocked, almost in an instant about to whip out a sleep powder to make them all go into a sleeping fit. But, since it avoided the commotion it landed near Alice instead. 16:59 <AliceHope>: Alice jumped, noticing the commotion behind her, "Hey, careful! You might break stuff!" She waved her hands at the pair, slowly steering her Donphan back. That was when the sleep powder fell over her, and it took mere seconds for the human to drop, likely to hit herself on something if one of them didn't catch her first. 17:01 <DaiRef>: Soon eno17:13 <DaiRef>: Dedenne's eyes started to grow big. It looked as if it wanted to cry soon. The elephant pokemon grabbed Dedenne with it's trunk gently and then it dropped it in the water. The mouse pokemon's eyes were still wide open, letting out a squeak like it was some sort of plush toy. The slowpoke then lifted the mouse pokemon by going underneath it. 17:16 <AliceHope>: Alice sighed, as exasperated as she was amused. "I'm never having my own kids. You lot are enough." She teased, continuing to splash the water about, stopping briefly to pet Dedenne's head and back. She was of course careful to avoid the cheeks and whiskers, as well as the volatile tail. "We might be heading towards a new gym tomorrow. Are any of you up for i 17:16 <AliceHope>: t? Navel's a challenge that most of you can join in with, too." 17:20 <DaiRef>: The Kangaskhan, like always, gave a rough nod, ready for any fight. Dedenne, was too distracted to answer. Starmie, Donphan, and Butterfree agreed calmly with their mature state of minds. And slowpoke...well...it was slow to reply, so it just didn't say anything. Suddenly, you heard a noise in the other room. Butterfree looked towards the door, now with a 17:20 <DaiRef>: tilt of it's head, gazing to see what had made the noise. 17:22 <AliceHope>: Alice jumped, straightening up. She'd been about to elaborate on what the challenges entailed, but now she was panicking again. "Kangaskhan, go and see what it is." She urged her, unwilling to go out naked. She pulled the towel around her, inching after the tall beast. 17:24 <DaiRef>: The beast looked around, a little bit of seriousness with a hint of confusion, it walked over towards the bed, only to find a note on the ground. The window now returned to it's opened stat let the warm draft re-enter the room. 17:25 <DaiRef>: Note: The New Power Will Awake In 3 Days. All Will Fall, All Will Perish.ugh the Dedenne scrambled away from where Alice would fall before letting the mother kangaskhan catch her. She gave a playful 'wake-up slap' to make Alice come to her senses. Slowpoke looked at the commotion with it's lazy smile, however it was worried. Suddenly Dedenne jumped on Donphan laughing at the foolishness, letting out sparks on it's cheeks, 17:02 <DaiRef>: however the elephant pokemon was unaffected and it looked a little annoyed with this mischievous mouse. 17:04 <AliceHope>: The whole thing made Alice feel confused, and her face was red, the entirety of it stinging. "Nnn... Really, guys. You gotta chill a bit. I said to play nice." She carefully pulled herself up on Kangaskhan's arm, stretching. "Donphan's a ground type, of course he won't like the water. He gets a special brush instead." She reminded Kangaskhan. There wasn't any 17:04 <AliceHope>: room for her to get back into the tub, but she went back to splashing the two smaller ones from the side. "Dedenne, if you're going to start attacking, you can't go in." 17:13 <DaiRef>: Dedenne's eyes started to grow big. It looked as if it wanted to cry soon. The elephant pokemon grabbed Dedenne with it's trunk gently and then it dropped it in the water. The mouse pokemon's eyes were still wide open, letting out a squeak like it was some sort of plush toy. The slowpoke then lifted the mouse pokemon by going underneath it. 17:16 <AliceHope>: Alice sighed, as exasperated as she was amused. "I'm never having my own kids. You lot are enough." She teased, continuing to splash the water about, stopping briefly to pet Dedenne's head and back. She was of course careful to avoid the cheeks and whiskers, as well as the volatile tail. "We might be heading towards a new gym tomorrow. Are any of you up for i 17:16 <AliceHope>: t? Navel's a challenge that most of you can join in with, too." 17:20 <DaiRef>: The Kangaskhan, like always, gave a rough nod, ready for any fight. Dedenne, was too distracted to answer. Starmie, Donphan, and Butterfree agreed calmly with their mature state of minds. And slowpoke...well...it was slow to reply, so it just didn't say anything. Suddenly, you heard a noise in the other room. Butterfree looked towards the door, now with a 17:20 <DaiRef>: tilt of it's head, gazing to see what had made the noise. 17:22 <AliceHope>: Alice jumped, straightening up. She'd been about to elaborate on what the challenges entailed, but now she was panicking again. "Kangaskhan, go and see what it is." She urged her, unwilling to go out naked. She pulled the towel around her, inching after the tall beast. 17:24 <DaiRef>: The beast looked around, a little bit of seriousness with a hint of confusion, it walked over towards the bed, only to find a note on the ground. The window now returned to it's opened stat let the warm draft re-enter the room. 17:25 <DaiRef>: Note: The New Power Will Awake In 3 Days. All Will Fall, All Will Perish. 17:26 <AliceHope>: ((THAT WASN'T pokeblockING TERRIFYING TO TAB BACK INTO)) 17:28 <AliceHope>: Alice looked around from the corner of the doorway, checking with Kangaskhan that it was safe to come out. "What is it? Have you found something?" She asked, skittering over to pick up the piece of paper. The message, inked in a bloody red, was enough to set her heart amok. "... pokeblock." The trainer checked the lock and then moved to pull the window tight shut. 17:28 <AliceHope>: "Can you smell anything? Hear anything? D'you think they're gone?" She asked at once, already beginning to redress. 17:30 <DaiRef>: The kangaskhan snuffed around only to find that it had scented something familiar, a strange look grasped it's face. "Grrrah..." It was a growl, yet a little whimper was let out. It looked to the door, only to give hint that they may be somewhere else in the building. 17:31 <AliceHope>: "Alright. We're doing this. Donphan, Butterfree, with me." Alice called. They couldn't enjoy the water, after all. "Anyone else wanna join? Dedenne, there'll be a fight if we find them!" She added, sure that it would entice the little mouse. Ideally, she wanted the whole team at her disposal, but it seemed unfair to promise play and force a mission instead. 17:34 <DaiRef>: The dedenne squeaked and then jumped off of Slowpoke. Slowpoke and Starmie decided to stay behind just to be on the lookout. The rest of the team was willing to join Alice, to make sure she's safe during her investigation. 17:35 <AliceHope>: "Okay, you two be careful. I love you." Alice rushed over to kiss their gem and forehead once dressed, sweeping her bag back up. She returned all but Kangaskhan and Dedenne, deciding they would be best for sleuthing purposes. Note in hand, the young trainer ordered them to leave the way. 17:37 <DaiRef>: Soon enough the two pokemon didnt lead her far... they had stopped in front of 5-J... a sense of urgency was set and Dedenne started to scratch at the door rather quickly. 17:38 <AliceHope>: "In here?" Alice whispered quickly. She hesitated. She didn't want to call out incase the suspect fled. Perhaps it was best to act on instinct, despite her mind warning her otherwise, "Kangaskhan, break it down." 17:40 <DaiRef>: *BAM* "H-huh?" Mika looked at the door that had broken down "W-whats going on?" She was in the room watching TV. The kangaskhan whined yet again standing close by Alice's side. 17:47 <AliceHope>: Alice was stunned to see Mika beyond the door. She hadn't known which rooms they were in. "Oh my god, I-- shit, I'm sorry!" She stammered, appalled, "I just-- someone left this sketchy note in my room while my Pokemon and I were in the bathroom. We tried to find whoever it was, and these two led me here..." 17:49 <DaiRef>: Mika got up quickly. "U-wah? Are you kidding me?" She looked at Alice with a worried look. "Are they following us now?" She got up quickly unsure of what to do next. "A note? Hopefully you aren't hurt..." She said unsure of how to react. "What did it say?" There were so many questions swirling in her mind she didn't know which to ask first. 17:50 <DaiRef>: "HYAH!" A cry of Starmie came from the other room, it sounded as if something had slammed into the ground. 17:52 <AliceHope>: "That the new power will awaken in three days, and that everything wi--" Alice cut off, hearing Starmie's shout. She gasped, and without waiting, dashed back to her own abode. "What's going on?!" 17:53 <DaiRef>: Mika now joined Alice as they darted back into her room. Starmie was on the floor, nearly passed out. Slowpoke however was still in the bathroom, calmly looking outside with it's derpy smile. It was still in the water, as if he was relaxed. 17:54 <AliceHope>: "What happened? You two-- what happened?!" Alice asked, dropping urgently onto her knees, "Slowpoke, get out here! I need your heal pulse!" She ordered quickly, her hands tracing over the fallen star's form. "It's gonna be okay. It'll be alright, okay?" 17:56 <DaiRef>: The slowpoke stared silently, it's pink form stayed silent as the master called for it. Soon, however...slowpoke's body started to do something strange. While it's face remaining the same, it's body started to melt into the small pool of water, it's form started to turn into a drooping blob. It's smile and face widened as it became one with the water 17:57 <DaiRef>: underneath it. Suddenly the slowpoke was now a pile of a blobby pink and it slowly left the scene into the drain. The pink form slowly went down into the focet, nearly making a think swirl of pink as it disappeared into nothingness. 17:57 <DaiRef>: Slowpoke... 17:57 <DaiRef>: was gone. 17:59 <AliceHope>: At first, Alice was shouting of her first Pokemon, until she figured he was too slow to hurry. She ran over herself, only to reel back gasping at the sight she came across. "Slowpoke?! What's happening?! No-- Oh my god! Slowpoke, no-- help me! One of you, help me!" Her cries escalated from simple shouts to practically screaming. The plug didn't stop it, it co 18:00 <AliceHope>: uldn't stop as the water-- and her Pokemon-- seemed to fade into the drain. She couldn't grasp him with her fingers, she could do nothing but shriek and cry as he disappeared right in front of her. Alice was helpless to stop it, and she pulled the plug out, still screaming-- still trying, desperately, to do /something/. "Slowpoke! /Come back/!!!"

21:05 <DaiRef>: Mika looked at Alice in disbelief, her eyes widened to the maximum of their ability. She placed her hands on her mouth and had no words to express her disbelief in the situation. The pink ooze was completely erased out of the tub, as if it were cleaned to the bare minimum of what the tub was before anything had step foot inside of it. Alice's pokemon were 21:06 <DaiRef>: afraid, and Starmie was shocked by the disarray that it didn't know how to comfort Alice. It was just traumatized by what had happened in the room from before. 21:07 <AliceHope>: Alice reeled backwards, a picture of utter and uncontrollable despair. She couldn't stop crying, and was barely comprehensible because of it, "We have to do something! We'll tell Nurse Joy! Where does the plug lead to?! We have to find him!" 21:09 <DaiRef>: Mika didn't think it would make a difference, but all she could do was agree. "R-right!" She ran alongside her to the nurse that seemed to have already ran up the stairs. "What's all the commotion up here?" She asked, looking around the hall as she neared the door. A couple of people peaked out of their doors to see what the issue was. 21:12 <AliceHope>: Hunched over a little and resting against the doorframe for support, Alice's crying showed no sign of stopping, "My-- my Slowpoke, he's gone! I left my room for two minutes, and Starmie shouted, and when I looked-- Slowpoke... He... He-- It was like he melted into the water. He went down the drain and now he's g- /gone/...!" 21:14 <DaiRef>: The nurse looked at Alice, trying to make out what she was trying to say. "Slow down sweetie, take deep breathes...you're saying...h-h...he melted into water?" She asked curiously, trying to make out the situation and to get a full grasp of the story. "I understand you're afraid...but... we will contact the police immediately." She said, trying to calm her 21:14 <DaiRef>: down a little bit. "Don't worry, we will get your slowpoke back sweetie..." 21:15 <AliceHope>: "I have to find out where the plug goes! He could be dying! He could be worse!" Alice was in full blown panic, so much so that was hyperventilating too much even to breathe properly. The Pokemon around to witness it looked distressed, lost or both. Their trainer had endured a lot, but not only was this scary for them, they also didn't know how to console her. 21:17 <DaiRef>: Mika looked at Alice and put a hand on her shoulder. "I-I'm sorry...Alice...I don't know what to do..." She frowned, shaking and trembling a little bit. She was at a loss of words to cheer her up, or to even remotely help the girl. She was enduring so much on her own, why couldn't she be the strong one for once. So she tried to say a few words... > 21:19 <DaiRef>: "Alice... I know this is going to be hard to understand right now, but... we will find Slowpoke no matter what... you are the strongest person I know and I want you to know that this time you won't be alone... I know this situation looks nearly impossible to solve...but you have to breathe, wipe those tears, and keep moving. I'm sorry, honestly I don't know 21:20 <DaiRef>: how we will do this... but if we give it all our might to find him, I'm sure we will be reunited with him sooner than later. Don't give up hope...in fact...isn't that in your last name? Hope? You are named with such a name that is ingrained in your spirit... please...don't give up."
