[Mookie_Magnus]

"Wow Jeffrey, your Lucario is an asshole." Magnus said to his younger friend. "He shouldn't say those kinds of things about people, at least not when they can hear them."

"Wait, you heard him say all that?" Jeffrey asked Magnus, slightly confused. "How did you? He said it to me...that's weird."

"He was talking to only you? Huh...Maybe it runs along the same lines as to why I can understand Quillz perfectly... Anyway, you guys missed a bit while you were KO'd. As you can see, the media have taken a liking to us, they're calling us heroes and other things similar to that. Unfortunately, I really don't like papparazzi very much." Magnus opened a pokeball and Quake came out from it. He patted the Wooper affectionately on the head, stroking its smooth slimy skin.
"Quake, when I open the door, go out into the middle of that group of people with those cameras...okay?" Quake nodded and Magnus opened the door, revealing a mass of flashing cameras and reporters.

"Hey, it's the guy who shot one of the Rockets." One of the reporters said out loud. "Excuse me, Cerulean City News, what do you have to say about the events that happened earlier this afternoon?"

"Two words... Mud Sport!" Magnus commanded Quake to cover the papparazzi in a thick coating of mud, rendering their equipment useless. The little blue Wooper waddled back over to Magnus and he closed the door behind him.
"There, that should buy us a little peace. Well, you guys anyway..." Magnus walked over to a cushioned chair and plopped himself in it. "I'm trying to get some sleep...I have a criminal hearing tomorrow."

The group looked at him as if they didn't understand what he said.
"What did you say, Magnus?" Rodney asked. "A criminal hearing? What for?"

"Murder, what else? I killed a man, Rodney. It's not something that can be taken lightly...even in defense."

"But you saved our lives and other people's. You shouldn't be getting in any trouble." Aari reasoned. "It doesn't make sense."

"Well, hopefully the court will understand my motive and go easy on me." Magnus told her. "I think everyone should just try to get some sleep, things will be better in the morning...those press-rats can't stay out there all night."

"I hope you're right...good luck tomorrow Magnus." Rodney told him. "You're going to need it."

"Thanks Rodney. Oh, and Happy Birthday." Magnus closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

?I um... I gotta take care of some business. I?ll be back to check on you guys?
Aari lifted herself up out of her chair and proceeded to leave the hospital.
It was sunny but raining. Aari didn?t bother with a jacket or a hood.
The rain was warm and Aari had a difficult task awaiting her.
She stopped by the Pokémon centre.
Nurse Joy stared at her.

?Goodness, you could have been killed? She said, a worried expression on her face.
?Well? I?m okay? Aari said, looking through her bag.
?That?s not the point. Who were those boys?? she said, showing a picture of Rodney.
?They?re my friends and I don?t care what you heard about them? Aari hissed.

She put her poke balls onto the desk.
?Take these for the rest of the day? Aari pleaded.
?I don?t want this to happen again, and the controversy and the paparazzi? she said.
?I will. Hey, Aari just be careful. Okay?? Nurse Joy said with a slight smile.

Aari ran to the beach as fast as she could. It was closed off.
Aari went under the police tape and ran to her belongings.
Her towel, with spackles of blood dotted on it, was marked as evidence.
?CSI my ass? Aari said, breathing more heavily as the rain hit her hair.

She grabbed her towel and looked at the sea. ?Stupid sea? she said, frowning.
She walked up and down the beach thinking of the people she met a day ago.
There was a nice old lady, a tall man with a nice suit and the gang.
Magnus, Jared, Rodney and Jeffery. They seemed nice at the time. Still are.

It was getting darker and Aari decided to go back. She walked past the Cerulean pet store and stopped. It was closed but Aari looked through the window. There was a sign that said:

?New Pokémon now in store?

Aari laughed and continued walking. She took a shortcut through an alleyway?

 

[terribleyetfun]

Jeffery,Trevor and lucario were discussing what ever came to mind while magnus and Rodney were resting.
"huh wonder where Aari is she sure is taking a while" Jeffery said casually and curiously sticking his head out the door looking up and down the hall way for any sign of her.
"oh don`t worry she`ll be fine" Trevor said waving off Jeffery`s concern.
Jeffery simply turned to Trevor and looked at him with a "are you kidding look" and said "oh yeah she`ll be fine in this picture of perfect society where I had one of my ribs broken all of us were nearly killed and one of us is facing charges for arrow related violence" Jeffery said pointing to magnus.
"alright if it`ll make you feel better we`ll go look" Trevor said getting up and making his way for the door.
"alright then c1mon lucario" Jeffery said turning for the door and motioning for lucario to follow.
"hey can you pull a buneary out of a hat" Jeffery asked Trevor as they were walking down the hall.
"uhhhhh maybe I never tried" Trevor said scratching the back of his head as they walked out the front entrance...

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

Magnus woke up, thanks to Jeffreys incessant babbling, and looked at his watch. It was 6:15am, time to get up anyway. He got dressed, and ate some breakfast. He walked over to the Video-Phones and dialed a number into it. On the screen appeared an image of a woman in her late 40's.
"Oh, Magnus. Thank goodness you're okay, I've been watching the news. What is it you need, hun?"

"Hey Mom...it's good to see you." Magnus told his mother. "I need you send over my dress-suit, the one that goes with the green tie, and my dress shoes as well. Can you do that?"

"Yeah, hold on."

The clothes appeared via the teleporter, neatly folded and pressed.

"Thanks Mom, I love you."

"What else is new, Magnus? Let me know."
****************************************************

Magnus walked to the courthouse, making sure not to be seen by any papparazzi when he left the hospital. He approached the large stone building and walked inside, he gave his name to the clerk and sat down in the lobby, awaiting his turn in front of the judge.

 

[prinxess]

Aari turned left instead of right to the hospital. She didn?t want to go back. She checked her watch. ?11:58pm? she mumbled. Aari walked slowly around the corner.
Trevor and Jeffery were there.

?Hey. Aari, you okay?? Jeffery asked.
?I?m? Wet? she said laughing.
?C?mon. It?s late? Trevor said.
?I thought it was always sunny here in Cerulean? Jeffery coughed.
?It usually is? Aari replied.
?The hospital is about forty-five minutes away. My house is about five? Aari said
?Can we go there?? Jeffery asked, soaked already.

Aari led them to her house. She opened the door with her key and told the guys that there were some clothes in the guestroom. They bid goodnight and went off to their rooms.
Aari settled into her nightdress and fell asleep on her bed. The time passed by?
******************

Aari awoke at about 6:00am. She knocked on the guestroom door, and opened it slightly.
?Get up, get dressed. Magnus?s hearing thing is on this morning. We gotta be there?
Aari left and got dressed. She put on an outfit that looked smart but sexy.
She straightened her hair and checked on the boys again.

?Let?s go!? Jeffery yelled while waiting at the door.
Aari and Trevor walked normally to the door and to the courthouse.
They saw Magnus sitting down in the waiting room.
?Don?t worry? You?ll be fine? Aari promised him, blushing lightly.

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

"Thanks, I appreciate you guys being here." He said when his friends arrived. "I should be called up in about 15 minutes or so."
They sat and waited quietly for his name to be called.

"Magnus Vanik, Magnus Vanik." Magnus stood up as his name was called.

"Your last name is Vanik?" Jeffrey asked. "That's a weird last name."

"Yeah, I know." Magnus replied.
He walked up to the door and approached a metal detector. He took off his belt and shoes and walked through. When it was clear, he put his belt and shoes back on.

"This stays with me." The security guard said, while holding up Magnus's knife. "Can't have you going in there armed."

"Fine by me, just don't lose it." Magnus responded.

Magnus walked into the courtroom and stood on the defendants panel, his friends behind him in the benches. The bailiff stood by the Bench and announced the Judges entry.

"All rise!" The bailiff said. "The Honorable Richard Roller presiding."
Everyone stood up and the Judge sat down.

"Take your seats, everyone." The Judge told them, and they did so. "Now, will the defendant please state his case?"

"Yes, your honor." Magnus began to tell what happened. "My friends and I were on the beach enjoying oursleves, when I saw my friend Jeffrey being chased by two men in black trenchcoats."

"And why were they chasing you, Mr. Vanik?"

"Because they were members of Team Rocket, and last week, my friends and I had uprooted them from their stronghold in Pewter City? You may have seen it on the news."

"Indeed I have...That was your group, Mr. Vanik?"

"Yes your honor, it was."

The questioning continued on like that for more than an hour, until 1:30pm. Magnus could tell by the Judge's behavior that he was becoming hungry, and it looked like he didn't have the ability to resist it.

"Alright, Mr. Vanik. Seeing as this is your first offense, and you had one hell of an argument, I'm going to let you off easily. You seem like a nice boy, and I can tell that this was not murder, but self-defense. Therefore, I sentence you to pay a fine of no less than $500, and I place you on probation for no less than six months. Y'all have a nice day."
The judge banged is gavel and stepped down from the bench.

Magnus heaved a sigh of relief and looked back at his friends. He pulled out his checkbook and wrote a $500 check to the court. He approached the clerk and gave it to her, who gave him a receipt. Magnus walked over to his friends and hugged them.

 

[stormcaller]

Rodney was certainly not pleased with the results, but he knew it wasn't the judges place to decide.

Almost in confirmation of his thoughts they soon received a news call on their video phones, it was a disturbing scene of Team Rocket members sending hungry Mightyena upon tied-up victims. One member came to the screen and said "Bring us those Pewter and Ceruelean brats or every week, five more people go...and five more Mightyena get fed" he finished with a disturbing smile.

The papparazzi crowd which had begun to disperse now flooded back in all their numbers, Rodney still not understanding it was common place to ignore them said plain and front-up for the world to see, "Come get us Rocket bastards! Wherever we find you, we will take you down! If a group of kids can do it by themselves, surely you can't be as scary as you sound!"

Rodney prayed silently to himself and thought, I hope to god this plan works, otherwise we are dead meat! I need to somehow convince other trainers to start taking cause against Team Rocket and then hopefully the government will listen and understand. They need to be wiped .

But for now, the group ran as quick as they could into the forest on their way to the next city.

Ooc: Ahem...major plot movement, you'll get it later.

 

[prinxess]

OOC:

So does Aari just come with you guys?

Lol.

 

[stormcaller]

Ooc: Whoops!, sorry feel free to time loop

 

[prinxess]

Ooc: There we go!

?So? We just travel everywhere?? Aari asked, seeming a bit indifferent.
?Uh-huh. Aari, come with us please?? Magnus and Jeffery cheered.
?Please?? Rodney pleaded.
?What about my house?? Aari looked like she was under a lot of pressure.
?I want to come but I have a house and a job? Aari said, feeling superior.
?Please... We really want you to come? Magnus said, lowering his voice.
Aari blushed and came to her verdict. ?Alright then, meet me at my house?

Aari ran around Cerulean City bidding farewell to her friends and her boss.
They weren?t happy about Aari leaving but they knew she needed this.
She had told her boss that she was leaving and to put her house up for sale.
It was all too sudden for Aari to change her mind. She ran to ATM and keyed in her code.
Aari issued a withdrawal and awaited her cash. Hundreds spilled out into her hands.

After packing away her money, Aari ran home to the boys. ?Help me pack!?
Aari got a bag and signalled the guys to throw some items in.
Aari got changed in her bathroom into a small denim skirt and a white tank top.
She came back to see that the guys had packed her bag.
There was: Berries, maps, make-up and her purse.
Aari freshened up and left her house and hometown of Cerulean City.

[In forest]

Aari took one look at Cerulean City and turned away.
?What about your Pokémon?? Magnus asked, smiling that Aari actually came.
?I want to catch new ones. Not just water now, cute ones? Aari laughed?

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

Spoiler: OoC

Okay...here's a list of everyone's Pokemon thus far:

Magnus: Quillz(Quilava, female) Quake(Wooper, male)
Rodney: Chompers(Croconaw, male) Speedy(Raticate, female) Faith(Clefairy, female?)
Jeffrey: Lucario(male), Machop(male)
Trevor: Rosgry(male)
Jared: Nicky(Nidoran, male), Magnemite
Aari: Togepi(male), Seel(male), Poliwag(female)

If I got anything wrong, just tell me and I'll change it.

Magnus pedaled his bike slowly, keeping slightly ahead of the group as the scout.
"Alright guys, we have a few ways we can head right now. We can head directly south of here to Saffron City, which might not be a good idea since we've angered Team Rocket. Then there's the option of taking the Underground to Vermillion City, Rodney can get his third badge and it's got a ship to Olivine City if we want to head to Johto. Last, we could head east and take Rock Tunnel to Lavender Town, from there we can either go south and head to Fuschia, or go west and take the Underground to Celadon." Magnus pointed out each of the options on the map. "Well, which way do you want to go? I recommend going to Vermillion first, but we're a group and we need to make a decision together."

OOC: Alright, decide amongst yourselves which way you want to go. Remember that Saffron is infested with Rockets and we would be outmatched the way we are now. Each path has its own dangers and benefits, choose wisely.

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

OOC: Bump

 

[terribleyetfun]

"hmmmm I`m gonna pick the underground to vermilion I mean we would be kinda screwed if we went to saffron" Jeffery said placing his finger over the entrance to the underground tunnel.

 

[prinxess]

?I?m going where Magnus is going. I don?t know which way is better.? Aari laughed?

 

[stormcaller]

ooc: You forgot Jared in your list.

Rodney said, "Celadon and Saffron would bothe be Rocket hotspots. So I say we go to Celadon and perform reverse pshychology, the Rockets know we will probably go to Vermillion but if we go to Celadon first then track back to Vermillion they should've gotten bored waiting." Rodney obviously confused the group but he made sense to himself and contined "We'll just have to keep our heads down...especially me after that little call-to-arms infront of the court house".

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

OOC: There, added.

"That's actually a good idea Rodney. If we do that, then if Team Rocket is waiting for us in Vermillion, they'll become impatient and most of them will probably get transferred out. Celadon is too large to be taken over by Team Rocket, they got booted out a few years ago when they lost that casino of theirs."

"How is Celadon City too big?" Jeffrey asked. "They took over Saffron, and it's roughly the same size."

"Yes, but Saffron is primarily a residential city, whereas Celadon is a big commercial center." Magnus responded. "It's almost impossible to control the comings and goings that happen there."

"It makes sense to me," Jared said. "But we still have to go all the way to through Rock Tunnel, get to Lavender town, and then we have to take the underground for miles to get to Celadon. It could take almost a week."

"Well then," Magnus smiled and looked at his friends, "We had better get going now, before we waste any more time. Eastward unto the Tunnel!"

The group moved east onto Route 9, when they got there, they saw that the entire path had Trainers almost everywhere, either battling, catching Pokemon, or just walking to their next destination. Several wild Pokemon peeked their heads out of the long grass and watched as the next group of people passed them. Almost every type of field-based Pokemon on the Kanto/Johto Continent could be seen.

OOC: Looks like it's time for another...mass capture opportunity! Field based Pokemon from Gen 1 or Gen 2. I recommend that Trevor and Jared catch something...their Pokemon are lookin' a little lonely.

 

[stormcaller]

Ooc: That's if Rosgry doesn't try to "analyse" it lol. Also NeoAC is still in the Dominican Republic so someone can take his post but mark it as such.


Rodney decided to get some training in for faith and speedy, he quickly learned that Faith had metronome a move which could incredibly helpful or cause a lot of trouble.

The trainers all challenged the group after seeing them all over the T.V., Rodney himself battled about 5 trainers.

At the end of the last battle against a Raichu, Speedy collasped and then began to glow white and evolve. Rodney watched intently as the shape grew and grew until finally settling into a large fuzzy ball.

Speedy stood up on her hind legs and screamed "Rati....CAAAATE!"

 

[prinxess]

Aari watched the others battle as her Pokémon weren?t with her.
She watched intently how Rodney battled.
She turned around and saw Jeffery, Jared and Magnus all engaged in battle.
Aari looked at the big fur ball that used to be a small Ratata.

?Whoa, Speedy evolved.? She gasped, smiling and laughing slightly.

Aari didn?t exactly like Raticates but she didn?t really mind Speedy.
She wandered off to Magnus?s battle and stood beside him.
He and Quillz were doing great together. Aari trotted off again at the sight of a little brown ear that was hid behind a tree. ?Eevee come back? a young girl yelled.

Aari?s hope fell, she tilted her head down and ran back to Magnus.

 

[terribleyetfun]

Jeffery had just beaten the third trainer to challenge him sending his Abra flying into the cave wall with blood running out it`s mouth.
"damn lucario could you try not to make your opponent bleed next time" Jeffery said
"hey you wanted a metal claw you got a metal claw" lucario mind spoke back to Jeffery.
"yeah but try to be a tiny bit less brutal I mean we don`t want to kill a Pokemon by accident" Jeffery said putting his finger`s close together to indicate a small amount.
"well I guess your right I would hate to be taken away" lucario said stroking his chin.

Jeffery turned to walk away but suddenly he was stopped when he heard the words "I challenge you" Jeffery immediately spun around to face the new challenger, it was a kid possibly 12 or 11 who was short and stocky with long black hair.

"well kid I accept oh and I`l try not to kill your Pokemon" Jeffery said with a grin on his face.
"okay lucario let`s give this noob a beatdown" Jeffery said motioning for lucario to get in front of him to start the battle.
"GOOOOOOOOOOO DITTO" the kid threw a pokeball releasing a ditto.
"hmmmm a ditto good, lucario hyper punch" lucario attacked with a hyper punch smashing ditto in the face but not moving him at all.
"ha it`l take more than that DITTO MIMIC" as soon as the command was given Ditto transformed into a lucario that looked just liked Jeffery`s the ditto lucario grabbed Jeffery`s lucario`s fist and pushed it back sending lucario reeling with a angry look on his face.
"lucario remember what I said about not trying to kill the Pokemon I take that back use iron claw" Jeffery whispered,lucario rushed at ditto lucario his back spike glowing he lunged at the pretender tackling him to the ground and delivered a punch to the face sending blood flying from the ditto lucario`s face turning it back into a regular ditto and knocking it out, lucario got up and walked away but the enemy trainer ran up behind lucario and bashed him over the head with a pokeball knocking him out, Jeffery charged at the rival trainer and punched him in the face and then delivered a flurry of hits breaking his nose and sending him to the ground jeffery bent down and picked the trainer up by his shirt.
"listen you son of a ***** if you ever hurt a Pokemon again I will not be so nice" Jeffery said dropping the trainer to the ground and going over to lucario to tend to him with a potion.

 

[prinxess]

?Holy shit? Aari screamed, as she watched Jeffery?s battle.
She ran over to Jeffery and Lucario. ?Damn it. Are you okay?? She asked.
?I?m fine? Jeffery hissed.
Aari glared at the young boy, blood gushing from his nose. She turned her head.
?How?s Lucario doing?? Aari asked looking through her bag.
?He?ll be okay, I hope? he hissed.

Magnus came running over.

?Damn it Jeff, what if THIS gets put in the news?? he laughed.

?Oh well? Jeffery replied, smiling as Lucario awoke.

?You gotta be used to it now, huh?? Aari laughed, sitting down on the soft grass.

Magnus sat beside her.

?I wish? he laughed.
