Uprising - A Pokemon RP

[Zirat]

Matt took the handkerchief that was given to him and cleaned his face with it quickly. "Heh... thanks" he said to Eric as he jammed the rag into his pocket. "And yeah, seems like everyone after a bug now, I guess they have some merits, I mean they are suposed to be fast and can kinda grow qickly, but they arent really my thing" he said as he heard some movements in the brush around them.
"But I guess thats all you can really get in the area" he said as he looked around again, what he didnt see was a pair of Butterfrees that had been following them, overhead for some time. They were circling around each other in flight, their wings glittering as fine dust fell from them. Matt noticed how things were mostly quiet now that the group had finished squabbling, and things were overall... calm, possibly even peaceful.

His mind started to cloud as more and more of the glittering blue dust fell from the two flying bugs and covered the group, it got in their hair, eyes, and was breathed in. Matt vaugely felt a sense of danger and tried to speak up but couldn get the words to form in his head as the unnatural weariness finaly won out. He took a few shuddering steps before his legs finaly gave way and he found himself lying facedown on the ground.

===============================================

Meanwhile, a number of eyes watched this turn of events with a sense of accomplishment, ready to remove this threat to them when the powder worked its course.

Eric collapsed to his knees, struggling to stand. "What the hell?" he said in a breathless voice. Dash was already on his side, fast asleep.

"SHIT!"

He tried to quiet the panic in his mind. If he could only keep his thoughts together!

Can't... no... what?

He sank to the ground, face first. He tried to rise but his muscles seemed to be completely useless... He gave a grunt of despair but refused to surrender to the inviting darkness. It was terribly alluring, just to give up...

You won't... make... me... sleep!

He tried concentrating on breathing... He could of swore he heard the bush beside him rustling before...

Blackness...

Gereld felt the fatigue like a brick to the head. He was fighting it, but, like everyone else, he fell deeply asleep, falling right on his face, Bubba and Cindy both feel at his feet, curled up against them.

"What is..." Lily could only begin before she fell to one knee, barely able to keep her eyes open. "No... No... I..." her hand instinctively went to her Pokeballs, managing to grab Eevee's, releasing the fox.

"Run away... Get... Help..." she squeezed out before dropping to the ground completely. The Eevee swayed drowsily as it started away from the trainer. Lily was then captured by the sweet embrace of sleep, unable to see and unknowing if her Pokemon had managed to get away from the widespread Sleep Powder.

Spoiler: OOC

I'll leave Eevee's fate to the GM's!

 

[Zirat]

As the rest of the trainers fell to the Sleep Powder, five people stepped forth from the bushes, they were dressed in dark clothes to help blend in with their surroundings and seemed to have been waiting there for a while.
"Are you sure about this? They seem to be just..." one of them started
"Quiet!" Another snapped "trust me, I heard what they were saying. We'll bring them somewhere secure in the meantime until he gets back" she said. "How long is this sleep supposed to last them?" She asked to the first one
"Uh..." another said, suprised by the sudden question "I dont know off the top of my head. Though I think it should buy us enough time to lock them up in the usual place" he said as he went about collecting the sleeping pokemon, rummaging through their respective trainers belts to return them to their balls before placing them in a bag.
The aparent leader looked down at Chell "filthy poachers... good thing that one over there blabbed their intent. Though this world seems to be going to hell if they're starting so young..." she said, seeming to reflect on past experiences. "If it wasnt for their fighting over that Heracross, then we wouldnt have had to close in" she concluded, straightening up.

"Alright people, time for pick up, bag 'em and tag 'em. We're just on babysitting duty for these scumbags now" she said as they released various pokemon of their own to help with the progress.
"Johnny, when we get to the hole you watch the grate, you got that?" She said to the one with the Butterfree's, who also seemed to be the youngest. "Oh yeah... you can count on me boss!" He said, she just groaned and shook her head and released her Ursaring
A Machoke and Vigoroth were released as well by some others, and eventualy they managed to transport the trainers to their destination...

=====================================

Matt woke up blearily, his head was pounding and there was water dripping onto his face from the... ceiling? Matt groaned, the air around him was damp, and he suddenly had the sinking feeling that he was in another cave. "God damn it..." he muttered as he rubbed the back of his head, his head seemed to be resting on a large and painfuly shaped stone.
"Son of a *****! Can we not go through anywhere without having something bad happen to us!" He yelled in frustration. He took a step to throw the rock his head banged off of but his foot came down on something small and round, making him almost fall over backwards, he looked down and saw it was his bag, and what he stepped on was an extra pokeball.
"So... that explains where my things are..." he started to say, then he realized none of his pokemon were there.
"Dammit" he groaned quietly as he slumped against the cave wall

 

[Vesuvius Hetlan]

Alex had been awake for a bit before Matt had gotten up and was fuming. "Shit, come on! I just caught my pokemon! Seriously! Seriously... I just got my pokemon!!!" He slowly got up and clenched his teeth. He rammed shoulder first into the door. "Raaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!"

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Eric woke abruptly, remembering that he had been taken down against his will. With a massive headache and blury eyes, he turned around. He was in a cave, that much he gathered. "Dash?" He sat up and reached for his Pokeball, seeking Jason's reassuring presence when he noticed that his belt was gone.

"DASH!"

His eyes clearing up, he saw he was not alone as Matt was sitting against a wall and Alex was pounding the door.

"Where the Hell are my Pokemon!"

His extra primer balls and the rest of his stuff was were still in his bag but his Pokemon were not with him. He rose, shaking with anger, noticing how small the cave was and how dead the air felt.

This is a trap!

He screamed in fury, punching the door beside Alex as hard as he could.

"YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!!"

Although his fist hurt horribly, he began to pound the door as fast as he could.

This is not an accident, someone stole my Pokemon and left me in this cage!

"THIEVES!!!"

He felt violated, naked without Dash. Where was he? Where was Jason?

He stopped pounding the door but didn't stop screaming for a minute... Eventually, his initial rush of furious anger over he leaned wearily against the cave wall and studied the door, breathing heavily and shaking with emotion.

Spoiler: OOC

I'm off for the night guys, keep it real.

Darrel came to next, slowly looking around as he tried to get a sense of where he was. He reached for his Pokeballs, only to find they were gone. "Uh, wait, what? What the hell's going on?" He muttered frantically. He scrambled beside Eric to the door, shouting. "Is somebody out there?! Anybody, come on and answer! Spike?! Puck, Puck are you there?!"

There was no response. Darrel, feeling shell-shocked, crawled over to a corner of the cave. As he sat in silence, his head buried between his knees.

 

[Robert632]

Gereld wearily sat up rubbing his eyes, awoken by everyone's yelling, before remembering that he had been knocked out, somehow. He found his bag a ways away, with all it's Pokeballs in it...Except Cindy's and Bubba's. With a start though, he remembered that she and Bubba had been out of their Pokeballs when they had been kidnapped. "Cindy, Bubba?" He asked to the air, patiently waiting for Cindy's reasurring warmth and light.

Nobody came.

Sighing deeply, Gereld sat against the wall, noticing it was the wall oppisite of Matt's.

 

[Vesuvius Hetlan]

Alex sat back down next to Chell. His arm was in absolutely excruciating pain. He swore profusely and stomped his foot. Tears formed in his eyes as the full gravity of the situation hit him "Cecily... Rhodes... Horus... Nina... I don't know what happened but I'm so sorry. Its my fault that you got captured by these bastards! I'm sorry everyone. It was my fault that we went this way... I'm so so sorry.".

 

[Zirat]

Matt had got himself back up, and he was pacing again and while going over what just happened to get them in this position. So... all of our pokemon are gone, but they didnt take our stuff away. Then we can cross off Team Rocket, we would be dead already, but why would we be locked up for... Matts thoughts were cut off as he stumbled and nearly fell backwards again by stepping onto a pokeball.
Matt scowled as he picked it up. "Useless piece of shit" he growled as he chucked it into the darkness, there was a resounding
*THWACK*
And a suprised grunt as a sudden red flash temporarily lit up the cave. "The hell?" He said as he walked ahead to try and find what he hit. He came across his pokeball, half submerged in a small pool of water, it was shaking but suddenly stopped. He picked it up released its contents. A small, quadrapedal, and most of all pink thing was released facing away from him, it slowly took a few steps around and looked up at him with large, watery eyes. It had a large welt on its forehead but it didnt seem to care about that. After blinking slowly a few times it opened its mouth and yawned.

"Hey, guys..." Matt half turned to where the others were. "I think I know where we are now. Derrel, didnt you say you wanted to go to Slowpoke Well? Well... be carefuly what you wish for" he said, still looking at his latest capture, which matched his gaze steadily.

 

[Vesuvius Hetlan]

Alex laughed humorlessly. "Oh joy. Slowpoke well. We can always use them as battering rams to knock down the door. I'm sure they won't notice." He glared menacingly at the wall. "Shit, I think I hurt my arm. Damn it." He bent down and patted the slowpoke on the head. "I'm sorry. I said some nasty things. It was out of line."

 

[Robert632]

"But you do raise a good point Alex. Even with this Slowpoke, we can't just break the door down, and whoever captured us has some means of subduing." said Gereld, feeling only slightly better now that someone had a pokemon.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Eric was studying the door carefully.

"Slowpoke well, huh?" he said, trying to contain the rage within him. "Who would be stupid enough to lock us in a well?"

Deep breathes, calm down. You can make them pay but you have got to get out of here.

He was still shuddering with emotion but he was at least restraining himself from beating the door with his fists.

I'm coming for you guys, they won't have you forever.

He knelt over his pack and started to search within it.

 

[CJ1145]

"Huh, Slowpoke well..." Darrel said, leaning over and examining the Slowpoke. "Kinda weird, if you ask me. Whoever took us here apparently wasn't really thinking about what was going on, because any halfwit coulda figured this place out."

He then heard somebody mention their captors had a means of subduing them.

"Uh, yeah, I'm pretty sure that was Sleep Powder." He said. "Definitely wasn't Hypnosis, and I don't remember many other moves that can put people to sleep. Except, well, Sleep Powder. But, uh, yeah, that probably means they've got bug or grass types. We might find out if they come to talk with us though."

[hr]

On the other side of the well, a very agitated Pokemon was preparing to investigate. Puck had slipped away from his captors with ease. They were not prepared to deal with a ghost of his caliber, obviously. He considered going to rescue his trainer, but decided against it. Humans are awfully loud and obnoxious, and dear Darrel would only do something foolish and get himself caught again. No, this mission required stealth, and guile, things that only he possessed. He set out to discover the identity of the mysterious men who had taken the others, and to get answers.

Spoiler: OOC

Hope you don't mind if I've got Puck running around. I won't have him pull off some grand rescue, but he could be useful as a sort of camera to view whoever took us.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Eric pulled out a Sinnoh army knife from his bag and approached the door, pulling out the small blade as well as other, small metal utensils.

"I'll get us out of here, I promise you that!"

He stuck the blade into the doorknob but it was just too big. Undeterred, he switched to the small slender tweezers and worked his way into the mechanism.

"Shit, this is a tight lock..."

He twisted it slowly, carefully trying not to break the tweezers.

 

[DragonofDecay86]

Jason woke up, his head aching and his vision a bit blurry. He immediately reached down to see if Bagon and Sandshrew were on his belt, but they weren't. His spare Pokeball's were there, but none of the one's that were now home to his Pokemon. Jason jumped up, patting his sides and jacket pockets while looking around to see if he had dropped them. He felt a small droplet of water hit the back of his neck, and looked around for the first time to see his surroundings. He noticed that he was in a dark damp cave, surrounded by other people who were just waking up.

The last thing Jason remembered was becoming friends with his new Sandshrew, and then nothing... He looked around, and saw that Lily wasn't up yet, or she wasn't hear. Jason started walking around, looking for any sign of Lily, calling out her name every now and then.

"Lily, were are you?" Jason called out, ignoring what the others were doing.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

"Hey, can you be quiet? This is hard!" shouted Eric, louder than he admitted he would have liked too but his concentration had been broken.

He resumed his task, again trying to find the tumbler he needed to switch.

Why is this such a tight lock? It must be rusted like hell.

 

[Malo_Tux]

<spoiler=OOC>What'd I miss?

 

[Robert632]

Spoiler

Alex caught a Nincada(named Nina), Chell caught a Heracross(Named Blue Bettle), And a group of poeple put us to sleep and locked us in a room in Slowpoke well and took our pokemon, though they left our stuff with us, including pokeballs, so Matt caught a Slowpoke. I think that's the highlights, but feel free to add to it if you feel I missed something importent.
