[Other FULL] Gunpowder (M) (OOC)

"I was told you "stole" a Pokemon that never belonged to the man you stole it from in the first place." said the man standing directly in front of AJ.

At least, He thought it was a man; the person looked like they had stepped directly out of a science fiction movie he had watched when he was younger. The man stood about the same height as himself, and looked like he was fit enough to go into the military at any moment. The only thing that said otherwise was the man's clothing and a metal right arm.

He had been thouroughly caught off guard by the accusation, though he knew it was true. AJ looked the man over, knowing that there was no way this guy was in cahoots with the other fools who had been following him. There were no indications that he was an actual trainer either, He didn't seem to have any pokemon with him at all. After a few moments he concluded that the guy probably had his pokemon stolen, much in the same way he had taken the Mawile. He also concluded that there was only one good way to tell whether or not the man was telling the truth, and for that he would need Cypher.

AJ smiled and broke the silence, "I wouldn't go so far as to say "stole", I merely "removed" the pokemon from the possession of an idiot thug" He paused, thinking about how to continue. "Did you know one of the prime characteristics of a Shuppet is the ability to consume emotions? They can also interpet the sincerity of a person through the emotions that are consumed." Cypher revealed himself next to AJ's right shoulder.

"Would you mind if my friend did a quick check? If you indeed are telling the truth, this shouldn't take long." finishing his short monologue.

Hark glared at the man and he said with a cold factual voice, "I honestly don't care how you got my Pokemon. The thief that stole it from me has been dealt with. I do mind you Pokemon eating my emotions… just bring up the Pokemon's profile on your Pokedex. You will see its register trainer number matches my trainer number. If I had legally traded it, the number would have changed. That way you can confirm my claim and your Shuppet doesn't have to eat anything of mine." Hark was not going to allow this man's Pokemon to do anything to him, especially knowing how this man acquired his Pokemon in the first place. For all Hark knew this man was trying to rob or attack Hark as well, and Hark wasn't going to take any risks.

He then pulled out his own Pokedex to show AJ his trainer card but then realized his screen was still broken. Muttering something about some stupid rock pokemon Hark pulled his sunglasses over his eyes and typed on his Pokedex for a few seconds . He then offered AJ the sunglasses while explaining, "My Pokedex's screen got busted by a Pokemon… anyway I've built a H.U.D. into these sunglasses the information my Trainer card number is displayed on the sunglasses in the upper right corner. Also if the Pokemon you have is a Ralts you will find her registered name to be Lannia. If it's a Mawile her name is Nara." His voice's inflection showed more hope in the Pokemon being a Ralts, showing Hark's preference to find his first Pokemon over the Mawile. Hark didn't look very patient as he crossed his arms and shifted his weight from one leg to the other as he gauged AJ's response.

AJ stood dumbfounded, as he thought to himself * A Pokedex? There's really a device that holds all of that information?*

It hadn't occured to him that perhaps there were other, less barbaric ways to go about things such as this. He had always been used to how things went in the criminal world; in fact he never really gave it much thought to finding out how to go about being a real trainer. Regardless, the man stood waiting for him to take a look at his odd pair of glasses.

AJ tooka look through the glasses, and to his amazement he was looking at a small computer screen. Sure enough a mawhile appeared on the screen with both its nickname and its trainer Id on the screen as well. He worked through the amazement of the moment and handed the glasses back to the man, who was already seemed to be growing in impatience.

"Well that's more than enough proof for me sir, I've only heard vague stories of people using pokedex's before." AJ paused, "Can you use them to identify pokemon in the wild too? What about finding the trainer Id if the trainer isn't there to give it to you?"

AJ couldn't resist asking these questions, He was amazed at the small device's power and at its uses as well.

Hark looked at AJ with a lifted eyebrow and said, "You don't know what a PokeDex is? If you didn't have a Pokemon or asked such questions frankly I would be more excited. Sadly, you just seem to be a trainer with less common knowledge. Either way to answer your question: Yes it can ID a wild Pokemon with it due to a small scanner on the front that allows it to identify Pokemon by looking for specific traits. However the amount of detail it can give with this "glance" is limited. Once a Pokemon is caught however the Pokeballs themselves communicate with the Pokedex allowing it to display more involved information on that individual. Also it is linked with a global data base for trainers so you can look up their IDs using their names, unless they want to remain hidden, which I would recommend. The sunglasses with a built in H.U.D. is my invention, which I hope will help me toward my goal."

Hark seemed like he regarded AJ as lower than himself as he talked about the Pokedex and his invention. "Now if you would give me my Pokemon instead of amusing yourself with my Pokedex it would be appreciated," added Hark in an impatient tone. Hark's day had not been a great one so far and his patience for dealing with idiots was low. He knew he was being rather rude, but he didn't care at this point.

AJ was a tad surprised, and offended but he shook it off. Grabbing the Mawhile's pokeball from his belt, he handed it to the man for testing.

"I'm curious to see what this device can do", he said, still very interested in the Pokedex.

Hark grabbed the pokeball in a manner that showed both his impatience and his hope for what was inside. He seemed a little excited as he pressed the button on the Pokeball, but that face quickly twisted into disappointment as he saw it was a Mawile and not a Ralts. "Nara," said Hark with a less than thrilled voice he then shifted his attention to AJ; Handing the glasses back so AJ could see.

The sunglasses filled with information on the left, right and top of them. The left side showed the Pokemon's known moves, while the right showed its traits and "values" given to show the Pokemon's attributes such as attack, defense, etc. On the top was the Mawile's name, Nara, and her expected "hit points" that were gauged by estimating how much damage the Pokemon could take before it was out of the fight.

Looking over at AJ Hark asked, "Well what do you think of the displayed information? Anything I should remove from the "battle" screen or add that a trainer would find useful?" Hark's voice wasn't extremely friendly when he spoke this time but it was at least more pleasant than before. He then added, "I haven't gotten the scroll function to work so you can view other information yet without pressing buttons on the Pokedex itself, but I have a plan on how to do that." Nara didn't seem to care that her trainer was disappointed in seeing her and not Lannia, honestly she didn't care who was her trainer at this time. Smelling food the fairy/steel type wandered into the kitchen where she started to climb up a chair to get the food on the countertop.

AJ stood still, completely overrun by the information that appeared on the screen. A lot of it didn't seem to be important, although he found that the Pokedex could be used to identify a pokemon. He immediately thought of the mysterious pokemon he had with him, knowing that this device would be able to tell him a bit more with what he was dealing with.

He began to form the thought into words, but was cut short by a distressed Shuppet.

Cypher appeared for a short moment Screeching a loud warning "Shup". Once he did, AJ turned his attention towards the front door of the house. He calmly handed the glasses back to the man and told Cypher to find a good hiding spot. His pursuers must have found him. It was time to get serious, His attackers needed to be put in thier place once and for all.

A sharp knock came from the door, and when the old lady began to open it, thought she was violently forced aside by an an aggravated Mightyena. Three men emerged from behind the pokemon, all three seemed to have a bad attitude. The lead man had the angriest demeanor, though he also had the Blackest Eye of all. None of the men looked like the younger kid he had faced earlier that day, maybe he had been a contractor of sorts.

"Well If it isn't our old friend AJ, Looks like you've made a few friends since last time." The man began, referring to the man who had recieved his pokemon, and the other young man who seemed to be off in his own little world on the couch.

"It would seem that we will have to deal with all of you now" He finished, glaring at the three.

Unknown to the young man, Akito who was mesmerized with the 'Kanghaskan Sisters' show on TV. So mesmerized that he didn't notice a cyborg/man and a shabby guy talking about the Pokedex. He also didn't realize it when some random dudes who were after AJ came and violently pushed the old lady outside. He DID realize something was happening when a dark type critter leaped onto him, barely missing him by a few inches, crashing into the TV.

"Crap," Akito muttered, turning around and spotting the gang who were advancing onto Hark and AJ. It was pretty obvious from the people's looks who were the bad guys and the good guys, although he was not that sure about the guy with the metal arm.

Akito readied himself into his fighting stance and shouted out loud, "Now listen, I don't know what this is all about but I'm pretty sure this is some kind of revenge attack or something on that guy who has..... wet hair or the cyborg guy. You'll should be warned that I'm an expert in the martial arts trained by the Gym Leader Chuck himself and I shan't hesitate to break you're bones if you'll continue to attack."

Akito smiled to himself as he reached onto his belts for his pokeballs but his smile quickly turned into an expression of dismay. His belt was empty and it took a few minutes for the memory to hit him. Of course! He had given it to the old lady for healing.

He had a small memory of her going into a small wooden door at the back of the little inn. He mouthed the words 'Be right back.' to Hark and AJ while running to the back.

The leader of the attacking group shouted orders at his Mightyena who had recovered from it's crash. Mighteyena took after Akito and with a single leap it almost reached him. At the last moment, Akito took a broomstick that he found lying near the wooden door and drove it right into Mightyena's eye.

Akito disappeared into the door and a minute later, when Mightyena recovered from the attack, the door fell down. Akito stepped out with Hercules and Vulcan both angry looking. Hercules smashed the Mightyena with a powerful, close ranged Tackle which sent it back a few steps.

"The battle's on..." Akito mutterred darkly.

Hark looked over at three men and rolled his eyes. He then said to the men, "I am not his friend and I have no interest in fighting you." Hark then took his sunglasses and added, "However if you dare attack me… I will destroy you." When Hark said the word destroy his voice was both serious and threatening.

Hark didn't get a chance to walk off before he got a response from one of the men, "No we will destroy all of you." One of the minions tossed a Pokeball to reveal a Lombre and directed the dull looking creature to attack Hark and AJ. It summoned up a mass of water and spit it out at a high velocity at AJ.

Hark grabbed AJ and yanked him out of the way of the attack and then he then muttered, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." He looked over at AJ and said, "If you can distract the Pokemon, I'll take down the trainers." AJ nodded, ready to retaliate.

The three unlikely allies began a fight that the Pursuers had not been expecting.
