Fandom Pokemon: The Chosen Ones - IC

[Noivian]

Three in the morning. The witching hour. A black SUV pulled up in front of your house, and you loaded your single allowed bag and yourself in, your partner taking a seat next to you. Your Pokeballs were confiscated for a quick evaluation, and handed back to you, if you even had any Pokemon in the first place. The ride was silent, and with a bulking bodyguard on either side and heavily tinted windows, it was hard to tell where you were going. You weren't given the exact details on where the base was located, but you were told it was somewhere equidistant from all of the regions registered with the Global Pokemon League. The gentle vibrations of the car lulled you to sleep.

One of the bodyguards shook you awake. The sun was up, so you had to guess it was around seven in the morning. Shuffling out the car, you were amazed to find yourself in something of a hangar, the roof domed in shape and multiple artificially lit tunnels leading in and out. Retrieving your bag, you were given a quick tour of the place.

The dorm you were assigned was just big enough for you and your partner, two separate beds and two desks with two computers, and a single TV mounted on the wall with a stray beanbag chair tucked in the corner by the bookcase. There was a window in the room, revealing you were in fact underwater as all kinds of fish Pokemon passed by or stopped to gawk through the glass.

Dropping off your bag, you were then shown the dining hall, the briefing room, training rooms and rooms for all kinds of sports, and finally a common room for socializing. The common room was littered with comfy sitting areas, anything from sofas to recliners, coffee tables and ottomans, and a single large TV also mounted to the wall, though this TV was only playing a real-time map of the world. There were also vending machines and other activities like pool or video games to do in the area if you so chose.

With the tour done, you were then instructed to stay in the common room until someone came to fetch all the new arrivals.

Scarlett

Scarlett was beyond confused. First this strange SUV showed up at her tattoo parlor and asked her and Entei to come with them. The only information she was given was that they were taking them to a location associated with the Global Pokemon League. ... Why anyone wanted a tattoo artist and her dad was beyond herself, especially since she was so careful at hiding Entei's true identity. Most people in Sunyshore City just saw Entei as a man named Cole - Scarlett's adoptive father. As they were given the tour and ushered into the common room she was even more confused. Did they just expect her and Entei to stay in a dorm here? What was the purpose of all this? What did they want out of them? At this point she had more questions than answers.

Being overwhelmed with everything she hugged onto Entei's arm, much like she did when she was a little girl. She held onto him tightly, she was scared, confused, and lost.. much like when she first met Entei. She looked up at him and whispered. "... Hey, are we going to be okay dad? Why do you think they want us?"

Jade

Somehow these people were able to identify which Pokemon Center Jade was currently staying at. They asked her to pack her things, inspected her Pokeballs and pressured her to get into the van. Jade didn't like this, so she might've tried to slap them, maybe she said a few things she regretted but despite all that, they won, they got her and Marshadow in the van and took off toward this location that was apparently apart of the Global Pokemon League. She said something along the lines of "God damn stupid fuckers..." before eventually falling asleep.

When she was woken up, she was at the place where they gave her and Marshadow a tour. She was puzzled by this... did they actually expect her and Marshadow to stay here? She had to admit that they did have really nice facilities. Computers, flat screen TVs, plenty of spots for Jade to practice her music. This place really wasn't that bad, it actually felt cozy and high tech. Then Jade and Marshadow were taken to the common room where she saw a few individuals, but didn't dare approach them. She just chuckled uncomfortably and looked at Marshadow. "Sooo... this has been a weird day so far."

Cressida (Suicune)

Nova was most likely asleep at 3am, but Cressida was wide awake and saw the strange black van through the window of Nova's house in Snowpoint City. Nova was asked to pack a bag and for Cressida to come with her. She was incredibly confused.. how they managed to figure out she was Suicune was beyond her. She liked to think she was pretty good at concealing her identity. The car then took off and the driver explained that they were going to a location associated with the Global Pokemon League. ... Perhaps they needed Nova's help since she was a Gym Leader and technically apart of Sinnoh's Pokemon League? She didn't know. Cressida stayed awake the whole ride, just staring out the window of the car until they reached their destination.

Once there, both Cressida and Nova were given the tour. She admitted that it was a nice place and enjoyed the dorms, especially the underwater windows. They were then taken the common room. Once there, Cressida wondered if she'd see Entei or Celebi. They both had trainers as well so she was sure that they would be targets. Sure enough she saw Entei across the room with Scarlett gripping onto his arm. She was tempted to go over there and talk to them but she decided to ask Nova first. "Hey... my friend Entei and his trainer... who's kind of like my niece is here, mind if we go over there? His trainer looks scared and I want to make sure she's okay."

Marshadow looked on, a slight glint of fear in his mind as he saw the goons approach Jade. While he didn't care much about the outside world much of the time- Not by choice, but because the misery of the world often brought him down. Anyways, it'd be a miracle to find someone that hasn't heard of the various nefarious groups that had tried to mess with the world. He watched on carefully as his trainer was handled, making sure she wouldn't be hurt… he was already struggling to not fly to her aid. But..if they were really evil, he probably would need to stay hidden. As they were loaded in the car, the Marshadow let out a quiet whisper, intended to Jade's ear: "I'm still here…" he didn't want her to be afraid. He'd get them all out of comission if they hurt her. He had helped her so much already..
.. The pokemon would continue to look over her during the whole trip, only nodding off after what felt like an hour.

As they were escorted in the facilities and shown around, Marshy kept hiding- They probably knew he was there, but.. he felt safer this way. Unable to be Grabbed or restrained instantly. He looked on at the glass nervously, eyeing up the fish behind them. It'd be easy enough to become a water pokemon and flee incase things went South, alone…. but he saw no clear way of carrying his chosen along with him. But if they wanted to stay here… well, it wouldn't be an unpleasant stay, to say the least. His train of thought drifted towards the TV, wondering how they could even get reception down in the sea. It was interrupted by Jade, that turned around to speak to him. He rose from the shadows, nodding. "Hopefully it won't lead to anything bad…" He could fight a little, but he certainly wouldn't be able to dispatch an organisation this big, by himself.. As he noticed the rest of the group, he went up to Jade. They were all by pairs.. and.. a good half of them had weird outfits on… huh.

Cross
———

Of all the things, after all the crap she had been through, all the unwanted attention, somehow, she managed to get kidnapped by the GPL.

The Global Pokemon League! WHAT?!

What exactly did she do to warrant their attention?! She was some random field researcher from Johto! Why did they care about her? Did they want her research? Sure, she was protective of it, but it wasn’t like she was hiding it from the public!

Well... except for the book. But nobody knew about that. The big, ancient book absolutely filled with scrawlings of Unown letters. Cross was only in the beginning of translating it, and all she was getting from it was insane ramblings of some ancient man. It was absolutely unintelligible, random phrases scrawled in diagonal directions, written backwards, and in all kinds of unidentified patterns, it was insane.
And it was INCREDIBLY INTERESTING.

But that’s not what we’re focusing on. Cross sat on a couch, by herself, looking out at the literal, actual ocean outside of the window. She wondered if her legendary buddy was out there somewhere out there.

“... man... how did they manage to build this?”

———

Entei

———

“I wouldn’t be afraid, in any case.”

The large, fur-clad man said to his chosen, looking down at her as she clung to his arm. Just like when used to when she was a child. Normally he would scold her for acting like a child, but, given the strange circumstances, he would let it go. For now.

“If anything were to happen, I would get you out of here before anyone knew what was happening.” He growled lowly, glaring around at all the other people, before rubbing his eyes and looking down at Scarlett, “I will keep you safe, no matter what.”

Giratina
They had come in the early morning hours, at a time the average human would be fast asleep.
It was quite unsightly, but he supposed there was little to be done about it. What did matter was the simple fact that his human had been taken somewhere, and he was not okay with that.

He'd never expected he'd find someone so interesting, but young Remi was a brash and assertive young woman, but even with those traits there was an sense of loneliness that Giratina couldn't ignore.
The plight of a single human girl shouldn't have interested him any, but that hadn't stopped him from making contact, and watching over the girl after she left her home behind.

Normally, he watched from his own world, only crossing over when absolutely necessary, but given the unusual circumstance he'd crossed the divide and entered the human world in order to look after Remi.
He followed after the black SUV from the air, as he disliked human transportation, donning his more humanoid appearance he imagined he caused quite a stir as he followed the vehicle to their destination.
The fact it was an underwater facility made the dragon mildly uneasy, but given Remi was there he had little choice but to go alone with it.

He accompanied his trainer on the little tour, memorizing the layout of the grounds as they explored.
He found the bedroom to be functional, but sparse.
he doubted he'd be sleeping in it much, as he'd have to return home at some point.
If Remi decided she didn't wish to stay, then he would take her with him.


Currently, they were in a waiting room, with a handful of other trainers and pokemon.
He of course recognized some of the legendaries; Suicune, Entei, and Marshadow respectively. He eyed them all with minor suspicion, he doubted they would attempt to harm his trainer, but one could never be too careful.
He floated just off the ground, legs crossed and wings out he must've looked incredibly out of place.
But Giratina found he didn't like walking, he was used to flying about the reverse world in his sleeker form and here, though he remained in a humaniod guise, he choose to hover.

He looked to his trainer once again, sighing. "Are you certain this is the best idea, remaining in the custody of this... Global Pokemon League?".

Sable

She didn't know how the Global Pokemon League had managed to find her, but was almost certain it pertained to her unorthodox partner. Yveltal could be very brash and it wasn't uncommon for him to stir up trouble with other prolific pokemon, so after processing what was happening she'd assumed that he'd done something big.

"What did you do?", she asked with a yawn as she gathered some of her things, she didn't have much time as these men were insistent that they accompany them at once.
She hoped it hadn't caused any major damage, as she was strapped for cash as is...which was why she was staying with her folks once again.
God, she was not looking forward to the angry phone call from her mother, she'd be furious Sable left in the middle of the night with no warning.
But it wasn't like she had much of a choice.

She fell asleep on the way to the place, and woke only when roused by one of the body guards who shook her awake. Rather a rude awakening, but she took her bag and followed them into this strange but awe inspiring underwater facility.

They were taken to a dorm, like something straight out of a college. Two beds, two desks a bean bag chair and two computers. She set her bag on the bed and was tempted to go back to sleep, but then she was ushered back out to be taken on a tour of sorts.
This faculity was huge, far bigger than any place she'd been in before, Sable looked around in sheer awe.
She was tempted to let her other pokemon out, but for the moment decided against it.

After that was said and done, they were taken to a common room, full of unfamiliar faces.
She took a tentative seat on a couch and looked around the room.

"Odd, I wonder why we've all been brought here...", her gaze lingered on a strange floating man with large wings and....red spikes.

Wait...was that Giratina? She blinked and looked to Yveltal.

"...We're not the only legendary duo here it seems... I wonder if that's why we were brought here...".

Nova Beckham

Nova was in all but a daze through the whole process, not entirely awake even after trudging around the complex. It wasn't until Cressida asked her a question did the gym leader truly snap out of it. "Huh? Oh, yeah that's fine," she said, sentence trailing off at the end. Gripping the end of Cressida's shirt, she allowed her partner to lead the way over rather than herself, blinking sleep from her eyes as they moved. "Greetings," the ice-type trainer said to the duo quietly as they approached, followed with a silent yawn.

Remi Beckham

Remi tapped her foot expectantly. They had the gall to put her in the same car as Nova on the drive over here, and of course her older sister had leaned on her shoulder. Remi hardly had the sentiment to call that woman her sister anymore. Her arms were crossed over her chest, and she turned to Giratina with mild surprise, as if just noticing the legendary floating there. "I'm only staying until I figure out what in the world is going on. Chances are, if they really need someone they'll need Nova, not me." There was more than just a hint of hurt in her voice, but her face remained composed and downright furious. She probably wasn't going to stay regardless of what they said they wanted with her. She didn't trust people who just up and knocked on the front door in the middle of the night.


Yveltal

"Me?" Yveltal gasped, feigning innocence. Actually, for once he did nothing wrong. "I didn't do anything! I swear." Regardless, he couldn't help but feel a little bad, as if all of this was caused by him. Scratch that, it more than likely was caused by him. His presence around Sable had caused so much inconvenience... not that he'd ever let that thought show, though. The place was nice enough, he supposed. Definitely not his first choice, but it sure beat a snowy mountaintop or something else equally inane. "Obviously we're not the first ones here, and if my eyes aren't mistaken, there's more than just Giratina here." Despite trying to be discrete, Yveltal couldn't help but blatantly point out everyone in the building. "Looks like we got Suicune, Marshadow, and Entei already here as well."
StarryKnights

Arceus

"Seems we've already got a crowd," Arceus exclaimed upon entering the room. Out of all the people here, he was perhaps the least concerned about this meeting. Whether that be from overconfidence or already knowing what they were here for... well, it was probably the latter. Wearing a wide, stupid smile in his human form, he swept his hands over the assembled guests. "Friends. Family. It's been too long. How have you all been?"

Cressida (Suicune) & Scarlett

Cressida approached Entei and his trainer. Nova looked incredibly tired and she allowed her to rest against her as they walked so she wouldn't fall over. Cressida surprisingly looked a normal human woman. She had long flowing purple hair tied up in a sky blue ribbon but otherwise she was wearing A sky blue tank top, a navy blue hoodie, and grey sweatpants with some sneakers. She was in lounge clothes since she previously tried to sleep over at Nova and Remi's house, but somehow couldn't. She knew something was coming and sure enough, both girls were taken to this strange place.

"Entei! It's good to see you, it's been awhile." Scarlett would look up at the woman and let go of her dad's arm. "Auntie Suicune, it's good to see you." she said cheerfully. Cressida managed to smile herself as she remembered that Nova and Scarlett were about the same age. "So Scarlett, this is Nova. She's my trainer and the gym leader at Snowpoint City. Nova this is Scarlett. Entei picked her when she was a young girl and I've known her ever since." Scarlett's eyes widened a bit as she suddenly recognized the girl. "Oh! I saw you in a magazine with the other gym leaders. I wanted to challenge your gym for awhile but I sort of took a break from Pokemon training to open my own tattoo shop." Cressida was quiet and listening for now, occasionally looking over at Giratina and Remi. Ever since she became Nova's Pokemon she wanted the two sisters to talk and fix their issues but unfortunately it was a lot harder to get the two together than it looked.

Cressida then noticed Arceus enter the room. He was confident, he was fashionable, he definitely didn't have the attitude like any of the other legendaries here. He was the perfect target to mess with. She stayed where she was at but turned her head toward him. "Well... if it isn't the god of Pokemon who has come down from the heavens to grace us with his presence. All hail Arceus." she would sarcastically say as she gave him a shit eating grin.

Jade

"If they wanted to hurt us or kill us they would've done it by now." she looked on at the other pairs. "... I guess we're not the only ones." she just stood off to the side and eavesdropped on the assortment of conversations going on in the room. "Woah... so many legendaries and powerful pokemon in the same room together!" she then blinked and looked toward Marshadow as she put two and two together. "... You're a legendary? I thought you were just the former shadow of some boy in the Kanto region, I've questioned if you were even a Pokemon to begin with... don't get me wrong I love Pikachu, Jigglypuff, and Ivysaur but you're way smarter than them. Yeah I would say you're different than other Pokemon but how have you been classified as a legendary when no one knows about you?"

She rested her back against the wall and was questioning everything she knew about the world. "Do you think this Global Pokemon League has been spying on us this entire time?"

[SadSnake]

"..." Marshadow tilted his head, putting his hand to his mouth as he leaned again her. He didn't feel warm to the touch. Actually, in this form, he didnt feel like anything at all. "Wait, am I really a legendary? I don't.." He blinked, scanning his surroundings. Looked like she was right.. Everyone there seemed to have that.. Little thing.. Maybe he could feel it. That they were.. Different. Or maybe it was all in his head. He shook it. Was he really a legendary pokemon? And more importantly, how did they find him? He was careful, at least.. Decently so..
...
...
It was his fault, wasn't it? He got himself found and screwed everything up. Now they were both at the mercy of the mystery organization.. Even if it was good, he still had failed her. He sat down and leaned his head against his knees. "Sorry, Jade..If i had answers, I'd give them to you. I thought maybe I was made because of a pokemon...I'm sorry i wasn't careful enough." he looked to the ground quietly, now. People looked so happy to see each other again.. And.. That pokemon other there acted like he owned the place, so maybe-... No. He didnt want to start whining to everyone and spoil the mood. Instead, he let his thought trail off, eyes gazing into the darkness of the deep sea.

 

[SapphireSkylines]

Jade

Jade sat down next to Marshadow and gave him a hug from the side. To her it was like hugging air but she didn't mind too much. "Hey it's okay... maybe I was the one who wasn't careful enough..." Jade thought back to their travels, wondering if she did something to tip the authorities off, but she couldn't remember anything. "Either way, we'll make it through this. You taught me to be strong and to never give up, and that life was worth fighting for and living... so I'm not going to give up in figuring out everything, okay? Everything will be fine." All of a sudden she noticed a piano in another corner of the common room. "So I think they said to wait until they got everyone in the room... maybe while we wait I could play a song. Would you like that?"

SadSnake

 

[SadSnake]

"A song?" while Jade didn't feel much, Marshy could register everything. The gentle pressure and warmth of the embrace made him relax slightly. He felt.. Foolish. She was right, he helped her so much.. He needed to be brave, for her, at the very least to be an example. He stood up and followed her nearby, still feeling a weight on his chess as he sat down next to her, fidgetting with his shadowy hands as he looked up to her. "Yes, I.. I would like that, Jade." he closed his eyes, ready to loose himself in the music.

 

[SapphireSkylines]

Jade

Jade sat down at the piano bench and began to test a few of the keys. Much to her surprise the piano seemed perfectly in tune. She then sighed as she started playing what appeared to be a jazzy sounding piece. The music would sound out throughout the common room before she took a deep breath to sing.

"♪Some.... where.... over the rainbow... way up hiigh... there's a land that I heard of... once in a lullaby...♪"

Jade's voice was very much in the alto range and was full and more mature sounding than her talking voice. At this point anyone in the common room could hear the song as it resounded smoothly through the room.

Spoiler: Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Cyan

The forest that he once called home was burning up all around him. All he could smell was ash and smoke, he wondered why he wasn't dead yet, why he wasn't lacking oxygen. He was on his knees, and in his arms was the small, wrinkled up body of Celebi. He was dead, lifeless. His normal green color was now a grey, despite knowing that the worst had happened Cyan shook the body. "Celebi? Celebi wake up! Please wake up!" Cyan sobbed, his arms were shaking as he continued to hold the Pokemon corpse close to him. Then he noticed a man.. but not just any man. It was one of the lumberjacks from a year ago. He laughed a sinister laugh as Cyan slowly looked up at him. "... Did you do this? Why did you do this?" Finally the man spoke.

"Oh Cyan... poor poor Cyan.." Cyan blinked.. how did he know his name? He never gave his name... "You failed -everyone-. The forest that you love so much? It's dead and in flames. You're a failure to your family, a failure to this forest, a failure to your Pokemon, and a failure to Celebi.. what made you think you could ever be a good trainer to Celebi? Huh... HUH?!" the man got in closer and lowered his face closer to Cyan's. Cyan just growled angrily and took out his hand, slapping the man hard across the face. "SHUT UP! SHUT UP!!"

---

Cyan's eyes shot wide open as someone snapped his fingers in his face. "Hey kid, wake up! We're here." Cyan was still groggy from the deep sleep he was in, he slowly began to remember everything, how Celebi and him were asleep. He remembered hearing the car rumbling and approaching their camp, he then remembered the bright headlights, how he bit the driver and Celebi tried to teleport them away only for them to be sprayed with some unusual substance.. that was the last thing he remembered. Either way, he was angry. He climbed out of the car and crossed his arms, glaring at the man that just kidnapped him.

"Can you explain why you kidnapped me and my..." he eyed Celebi who was currently in human form. "And my traveling partner?" he tapped his foot as he waited for a response. "First off, that ain't your travelin' partner, that's Celebi, you can't fool us, we know who you both are." Cyan just frowned at the guy. "We need answers, now!" "Well... let me give you a tour of the facilities first, and explain to you where you're a-" "Now." The man just sighed as Cyan interrupted him. "You're at a location that's associated with the Global Pokemon League. You're underwater, so don't think about time traveling your way out of this." the man just glances at Celebi. "Since you don't seem to have much of an interest in a tour, we'll take you straight to the common room where you can get what you want."

Their driver would lead the both of them to the common room, leaving them with what appeared to be other pairs of Pokemon and trainers. Cyan immediately recognized Cressida, knowing that she was Suicune. Suicune had visited them often in the forest and was known to be Celebi's friend. Another girl he recognized was Cross, his childhood friend. He had no idea what she was doing here, but she seemed rather relaxed in comparison to himself. Cyan would raise his voice slightly to get her attention.

"Cross? What are you doing here? Did they kidnap you too?"

Giratina
_+_+

Giratina blinked and nodded.
"Just let me know if you wish to leave, a mere human building can't hold us here", he glanced to the reflections in the window, in a flash he caught a glimpse of his world in the image.
So long as there was a suitable gateway, Giratina could exit the mainstream world and head home. He probably should've been there now, but keeping Remi safe took precedent. There was quite the colorful collection here, he warily eyed the god of destruction especially.

Well he was, until Arceus walked on. Giratina stiffened as the confidant god addressed the crowd.

"Delightful", he grumbled under his breath. Just what he needed, a walking talking headache.
Giratina wasn't the most social beast, though he kept tabs on most legendaries in this world he didn't interact with most of them.

He looked back to Remi.
"Be wary my trainer, there are a number of powerful entities here today".

Sable
_+_+

Sable wasn't sure if she believed that, Yveltal could be quite the trouble maker. But he didn't make a habit of lying to her. She sighed and sat back against the cushion, her gaze jumped to each of the supposed legendaries.
She supposed that as a legendary, Yveltal would know one when he saw one.

"Incredible...to think there were other trainers who have legendary partners...", she looked to her own, smiling.
"I wonder if they all give their trainers headaches".

Meeting Yveltal had been pure chance, and Sable wasn't exactly a driven trainer. She had a small team, her Haunter Spooks, and her Glaile, Eira.
She certainly hadn't expected to ever win over a pokemon as powerful as Yveltal, and yet here they were.

As troublesome as he could be, she wouldn't have traded him for the world.

Her attention moved to the door as new faces arrived, most notably a well dressed and very confidant looking man. Sable cocked her head to the side and gestured to him.

"So, who do you think that is?".

[explosiveKitten]

“Ahh, Suicune. What a pleasant surprise.” The man stated, looking at the purple haired legendary, reaching out and giving her a firm pat on the shoulder before looking down at Nova and reaching out to shake her hand, “Pleasure to make your acquaintance. Scarlett has talked about taking on the gym challenge several times. I have heard that you are one of the best.”
When Suicune started to shout at Arceus, it took a whole lot of effort to not roll his eyes at the water types childish taunts, and opted to simply dip his head that direction instead.

Cross was staring off deep into the ocean, one hand working fervently on the other, scratching and itching with reckless abandon in her nervousness. It wasn’t unusual for her to start scratching at her burn scars when she was nervous- it’s a pretty nasty habit, in fact- Left herself bleeding when it was particularly bad.

She was just about to get to that point when a voice behind her shouted her name, causing her to spin around and look for the source of the voice.

“Wellll, if it isn’t Cyan Oak. Fancy meeting you here, stranger. Did the GPL kidnap you too?” She pulled her sleeve down over her hand and walked over, arms extended for a friendly embrace. “It has been waaaay too long. I haven’t seen you in ages. Don’t you live in like a cabin in the middle of the woods? How the hell did these guys find you?”

Pearl and Maverick Mahogany​

Being kidnapped directly out of the apartment above Maverick's clinic hadn't been on either of the twin's to-do list, much less being kidnapped by government agents, and the problems only seemed to be getting worse as time passed. Entering the facility? That had been easy, Pearl had still been asleep after the ride there and Maverick had opted to piggy-back him, as his brother was a rather heavy sleeper. Touring? Yeah, that was no problem. The problems came when Pearl woke up as Maverick was putting him down on the bed that was supposed to be his. It took the shorter of the two a few minutes and a bit of explaining before the storm Maverick knew would happen finally hit.

Pearl stormed out of the room, the platform shoes he wore to make himself look taller audibly hitting the floor. He wanted out of this Arceusdamned facility now. Contrary to his normal demeanor, he was full well looking to fight whoever first entered his sight, regardless of who it was- He shouldn't have been here! He didn't want to be there! More importantly, he had eggs and baby pokemon that would die without him, there weren't any employees at his daycare!

"Pearl, calm down! I don't know what you're planning on doing, but you need to stop and think!" Maverick snapped as snagged Pearl around his chest to prevent him from swinging on the first person to enter his reach. Why couldn't he just go about his usual delusional ramblings? Run around like some absolute idiot, like Maverick was used to? His grip tightened when he felt Pearl stomp down on one of him feet despite the pain.

"Let go, let go! I wanna go home, I'm gonna kill them! They're dead, so fucking dead!" Pearl yelled, violently trying to pry Maverick's off of him. The government agents who kidnapped him were going to die, die for kidnapping them and leaving his babies to die alone. His twin was not going to prevent them from beating those motherfuckers to death. Despite the considerable height difference, Pearl had always been the stronger of the pair and was certain that he could flail away from him.

"You can't do that for SEVERAL reasons! Listen to- Gyah, stop hitting me! Arceus, stop flirting with everyone and HELP ME!" Maverick snapped to the Legendary pokemon as Pearl's elbow collided with his ribcage. He generally didn't wish he had a different twin, but this was certainly one of the times he wished he had a calmer one.

Cressida

Cyan, Cressida's favorite human target entered the room, but she spotted something more interesting - two young men bickering. They were most likely brothers based on how they were acting. She approached the two men. "Boys, boys.. calm down. If you want to get out of here fighting is not going to help." She noticed Maverick mention Arceus. She just turned her head and grinned at the Pokemon God. "Is this your chosen? I'm jealous Arce-kins, you have a really cute human."

She then looked back at Pearl and spoke with a more serious tone. "If you really need to get out of here, the only way you can is by talking to the people holding us here. We need to get an explanation for why they took us, and then we can try to make a deal with them. If that doesn't work... then I'm sure I could swim people and Pokemon up to the surface, though I'll have to see how deep we are in the ocean. I wouldn't want anyone's head to explode due the pressure of the water." she chuckled. "And I'm sure they have scuba gear in this place somewhere."
