He laughed at her question. Thought it was short, the tension was rising. Sooner or later it would go too far. His metallic voice was kept, though the little pokemon detected something else inside the telepathy. She didn't know how to react to this either.

"Haha..these, are made for killing," he said, pointing to the unusual drill. What a dumb question. Of course he was a killer; probably a good one at that. She tried to forcefully make herself oblivious to the Reuniclus, in hope that it would soothe her. However, reality easily took over, her attempts failing miserably. He continued by answering her alternate question. "I thought you knew."

"Haha, you thought wrong," she giggled back, "I know you have that special mission though. From the Commander," She tried to seem comfortable through the mess, but by now, Rumble's smile had returned. He was challenging her. Lydia shot back to match his crooked smile, but hers couldn't hold for too long, nor was as frightening.

"Why did I decide to follow him in the first place?"

Suddenly, Hector appeared from the corner of her eye. He was talking, "Hector already left. We have a small window of opportunity to gather everybody and get on the move. I'll have to be responsible for organizing the battle plans so another disaster doesn't happen. But I can still help you gather the troops now."

Her smile widened. "I'll see you later," she snickered, stopping in place.

"Haha, you thought wrong," she giggled "I know you have that special mission though. From the Commander," Lydia tried to smile back to him. But her eyes didn't match his ones - she was full of doubt while he was full of power. Just when he was about to send back his poisonous reply, the general he hadn't really talked came close. Rumble's smile disappeared, and his face took a serious expression as general's look was serious as well.

"Hector already left. We have a small window of opportunity to gather everybody and get on the move. I'll have to be responsible for organising the battle plans so another disaster doesn't happen. But I can still help you gather the troops now."

Rumble forgot about the small fury problem which was following him and was only looking at the general who kept the passive serious expression on his face. He's TOO passive.

"I see. We'll be heading to the PR then? I can't wait to spread some fire..." said Rumble with his new voice as he followed the general to the PR.

The Reuniclus passed by her without a reply, changing his voice and expressions completely. She was shocked by his sudden change, and her eyes burned with anger. He was deceiving all of them. Swaying her tail with irritation, Lydia ripped her eyesight from both Khufu and Rumble. The Zorua would have left, but there was simply nothing left to do, and she couldn't stalk them to the base.

With a sigh of relief, she relaxed. At least now she could find Wade, wherever he was. Looking around, however, nothing was visible. A tiny whimper came out from her throat. Where was he...? Nowhere in sight, she began walking around, almost irritated that he had disappeared in such an instant.

"He can't be doing that one mission. Hector denied him. Is he doing something else? ..."

She hoped not, but couldn't be positive that he wasn't doing such. Slightly whining, she paced around the buildings while looking at the few left human bodies. Strangely, they had no guns. Her steps were becoming mechanical, and her mind was shutting off. Lost in her thoughts, she kept wandering.

Concentrating with a Nasty Plot, her power and energy increased slowly. It was the only way to keep her mind intact, even if she didn't like it. That's when the idea hit her. Rushing towards Khufu and Rumble, she slowed just in time to not clash into the small group. Walking beside Khufu, a cute grin folded on as her expressions changed.

"Mind if I come in?" Her voice was small, irresistible. He couldn't say no, and the General knew about her rank and dark powers. Her smile remained as she peered over at Rumble," I would like to help you two with the assault."

Hector Arcturus
Jubilife City
Outside PR Base

Hector had gathered everyone together. It was a fairly large group of Pokemon, mostly Ground and Rock, and a few Fire types as well. Many were also very large Pokemon, which means the group would not only be large in stature but also very noticable.

Perfect.

That meant that they wouldn't expect that the army wouldn't be a diversion. Even more so they wouldn't think so because Hector was leading it. Who ever heard of the Commander leading the diversion attack?

Hector looked over all of the troops. He walked next to them, and spoke.

"Soldiers. Our mission is to attack Oreburgh City. We are the diversion army. Our part of the plan is to attack the electric fence that surrounds the city, primarily with the apparent intent to deactivate it by the generator and break into the city. But that is not our true intent. Our mission is to act as a diversion while the main army travels through the underground of Oreburgh and takes out the HR base from the inside out. When General Khufu gives the signal, the signal that they have broken in, we will retreat, and our main army will attack the city. At that point, we may decide to regroup with the main army and help secure our victory."

Hector stopped pacing and faced the army.

"But let's make one thing clear. We are not here to act brave, to show off, or to charge recklessly. We will move as a group, fight back to back, avoid open areas, and be cautious, always. We are here as a diversion, nothing more. We don't have to die today, and if you follow my orders and stay safe, we can make sure that happens. Good luck everyone." Hector turned towards the direction of where Oreburgh City is. And roared.

"Move out!"

Jubilife City
PR Building

The Psychic Pokemon was walking with the general to the PR, and he was ready to ask him if he had made any battle plan for when they exit the sewers, but he heard the exact noise he didn't want to hear: Lydia's fast pacing style as she was approaching them from behind. His superb memory let him recall every time he heard that pacing. He turned and faced her. She was smiling.

"Mind if I come in?" Rumble detected the fake cuteness of her voice because he knew her motives. " I would like to help you two with the assault."

As the general nodded, Lydia made the mistake of peering into Rumble's eyes. He let his overexitement and fury for what just happened mix together, charging his body with his Psychic power. Without putting much thought, he sent a strong Psychic pulse towards her.

You BETTER NOT try anything funny..

It was the same metallic voice he used before, but with a strong intimidating tone in it. Rumble's eyes flashed with power as he turned away, going into PR.
The building was in a fuss. Pokemon were running to their positions.
"Let me handle the gathering of our troops." Rumble said to general and he left for the Conference Room, still feeling charged with power.

He entered the room and saw Hector gathering the frontal diversion "attack" troops. The Psychic Pokemon walked towards the Commander.

"Let me go out first, we'll get to the city from the woods. When we see you approaching from the road we'll enter the sewers."

Rumble walked away from the Commander and the bunch of Pokemon standing in front of him. He raised the volume of his voice with telepathy.

"Everyone who's willing to go in the sewers, come here" yelled Rumble with his strong metallic voice. The effect of his words -as well as his voice alone- was instant; some Pokemon cringed and some stepped back. After a few seconds all the Pokemon came in front of him. His face was a serious-looking expression and he spoke again with his terrible voice.

"Our objective is to enter the sewers, and attack the humans straight into their pathetic town's heart. I will lead the way there, as I know that place better than my own paw" Rumble raised his left fist. No one laughed. Rumble smiled. "Oh yeah and the general will be with us as well." His tone was somewhat challenging, as he was looking at him. He turned to the crowd of Pokemon, with his smile still on his face.
"I want your full co-operation, I want SILENCE in the sewers, everyone FOLLOW each other. If you get lost, STAY where you are."
Rumble kept talking, putting emphasis on the important words as he was giving advice. His voice was piercing the minds of the Pokemon in front of him.
"... This day is to be remembered. Follow me now."

Rumble winked at Lydia and turned around, walking out of the room, while everyone who was in the Sewer Assault mission followed him.

Khufu looked down at Lydia, shrugged, and admitted, "I don't see why not. Just don't get in the way. The fate of the battle could depend on these plans." He quickly glanced at Rumble and opened the door to his private chamber. Khufu snapped on the light and looked down at his disorganised workspace. Quickly rifling through his papers, he found what he was looking for and brushed away the others.

On the paper was a map of Oreburgh City, with a map of the sewers drawn lightly and sketchily on top of it. "As you can see, the main sewer connexion to Jubilife City is here," he said, pointing at an area on what would be the west side of the city. "This is where we'll come through. The trick is to find a way up to the surface without being too obvious. That's what I'm stuck on." He shook his mane out of his face and looked from Rumble to Lydia, and then at the map. "Maybe right here?" he suggested, pointing at an area in the centre of Oreburgh. "There seems to be enough room to get the whole army out. Ah, come on Rumble, you would know this better than me." Khufu looked at the Reuniclus with pleading eyes that spoke for themselves.

While his eyes did seem a little uneasy on the outside, internally Khufu sensed something was wrong with Rumble. I don't know what's wrong, he thought, but to me he's a machine I don't trust, especially around Lydia. Something tells me he'll fight her and win.

With a sudden glow of the Reuniclus' eyes, his telepathic voice knocked her with surprise as it boomed into her head. "You BETTER not try anything funny.." Somehow this time, it wasn't painful, but the tone was harsher. He was obviously frustrated by her. Lydia wasn't positive if it was a good or a bad thing. For now the Zorua watched. If anyone was going to do something 'funny', it was going to be him.

She watched as he spoke with the General. After leaving for the conference room, she also came rushing in, eager to see how he would lead the troops. The Zorua would be hiding with them.

"Everyone who is willing to go into the sewers, come here," he yelled out, many of the pokemon surprised by his strong voice. Several of them appeared hesitant. Lydia followed with the few pokemon who were also regrouping. His voice would shake her no longer.

"Our objective is to enter the sewers, and attack the humans straight into their pathetic town's heart. I will lead the way there, as I know the place better than my own paw," he said, raising his left fist. She cracked a smile, even with the lame joke. It was obvious no one else was amused, as they were still adjusting to the intensity of the Reuniclus' voice. Rumbe continued to keep his smile.

"The general will be with us as well. I want your full co-operation, I want SILENCE in the sewers, everyone FOLLOW each other. If you get lost, STAY where you are," he kept speaking aloud. Lydia knew he was a born leader.

"... This day is to be remembered. Follow me now."

She thought she saw a wink as he left the room. The PR members began to follow, and with haste she rushed to the front of the crowd.

"Good job", she said through telepathy.

Alec
PokeRebel Base, Jubilife City
Suspicious behavior...

-----

"Hey, Alec... I think there's a meeting going on." Ivy pointed towards the base. I looked up and listened for a moment, there was definately a meeting going on.

"Great, we're already late for a meeting? This is not getting off to a great start." I started to walk towards the base, Ivy following close behind. When we entered, we stepped right into a meeting that looked... well, started. I couldn't tell how close to ending it was, but with my luck it was just about to end. I realized that when I had entered, I nearly bumbed into a Vanillite, whom also looked like it was late.

"Your request for this mission is denied, Wade, and I'll tell you why: In this conflict with the humans, we are the invaders. That is the most notable fact in this battle. As the invaders, we have to realize one thing. The last battle had seen a lot of Pokemon die, good Pokemon. I will NOT let that many die under my command again. Because if we keep having Pyrrhic Victories like that, we can kiss victory in this whole war goodbye. Which is why I have determined that we leave their exit to Mount Coronet open. Think about it, if we get rid of their only exit out of the city, they won't have anywhere to retreat. Allow your opponents an escape route. Forces are more likely to retreat if a plausible route is open. If they're completely cut off, determined resistance can be expected. They will understand that they will die here, and they will fight to the last man, and we, in the process, could lose hundreds. Hundreds that don't need to die. That... is why we leave them their escape route, and we keep this strategy up for ALL of our battles. In this way, we can save many lives, lives that don't need to be lost. If you all take a moment to understand my words, you will realize this is the best way. We keep them on the run, until we have taken all of their bases. Humans may be the enemy, but they are much like us. They don't want to die. They want to live, and if we keep winning, until they have lost enough bases, and lost enough battles, they will eventually give in, and we will get victory."

Yeah, the meeting was about over when I had entered. Figures. Although I had heard what seemed to be an important part. At least I was lucky enough to get that, it was better than nothing. It was also good that no one had noticed me and Ivy enter, because if they did... well, who knows? We likely would have gotten in some sort of trouble.

"We got off lucky this time." Ivy whispered into my ear.

"Yeah, really." I replied glumly. I watched as the Reuniclus left, and was soon followed by the shiny Umbreon. A moment after that I thought I heard the door, so I immediately looked in that direction. Nothing. Perhaps it was just the wind? I looked around and noticed the Vanillite that had been right next to me had disappeared.

"This meeting is adjourned. All Pokemon, prepare for the battle. Any ground Pokemon, or any Pokemon who dislike the water of the sewers, you shall join me in the diversion assault. Meet me in a bit so I can debrief you all on how the assault will go down. We leave for Oreburgh soon. Very soon."

I sprinted out of the building, dodging my way through the crowd with ease. When I exited the building, I ran to the side of it and began to climb. It was lucky I was really good at climbing, and that was also when I noticed that Ivy was right behind me. When I reached the top of the building, I scanned the streets. I saw the Reuniclus, the Flareon, and the Zorua. That must have been what I heard earlier. I thought as I stared at the Zorua.

I watched as the three Pokemon walked away, until they were out of sight. "Y'know, I usually like Reuniclus... not that one though." I said, my gaze not even faltering for a second.

"Same here." Ivy replied.

"Everyone who's willing to go in the sewers, come here" Came a metallic voice that I assumed was the Reuniclus. Apparently Ivy heard it too, so we both leaped from the building and sprinted towards where the Reuniclus had headed. It was only a few seconds before we spotted him.

"Our objective is to enter the sewers, and attack the humans straight into their pathetic town's heart. I will lead the way there, as I know that place better than my own paw" The Reuniclus raised his left fist. I silently questioned whether he could call that thing a paw. On a regular Reuniclus, it would be a fist, on this one... more like a claw. "Oh yeah and the general will be with us as well." The Reuniclus's tone was somewhat challenging, as he looked at the Flareon. He turned to the crowd of Pokemon, with his smile still on his face. "I want your full co-operation, I want SILENCE in the sewers, everyone FOLLOW each other. If you get lost, STAY where you are." The Reuniclus kept talking, putting emphasis on what was apparently important words. "... This day is to be remembered, follow me now."

"Not like we have much choice..." I mumbled. Ivy jabbed me with her elbow to tell me to be quiet. "What? He is a very suspicious Reuniclus."

"Sure, there're probably infinite dimensions, but I'm with you in this one, so why would I try to find them?"

The dawn was slowly breaking and the huge bunch of Pokemon exited the building and under Rumble's command they head into the eastern part of the city, where the forest leading to Oreburgh was. They followed the road to Oreburgh City, as Rumble was in a state of meditation, analyzing the situation and repeating his plan over and over again. He had closed his cold eyes and let the General do the navigating.

We'll enter the sewers after we see the Commander coming. I'm going to lead them into my base, and show them the way out. That's where I'm leaving the general in charge, to fight.I'll unistall the transmittor with the bombs and head to the armory... with all the fuss I won't even get noticed.

Rumble looked around, the trees and all. He didn't really like nature, he wasn't made to like these things. He thought the last time he traveled through this forest was under a van. What a weird way to travel.
Rumble turned around and saw Lydia approaching him. He smirked.

The little Zorua ran from the crowd, surpassing the others as they stared, surprised she had the guts to talk to Rumble upfront. Lydia's smile met his own smirk, and her eyes shined through the sun beams which hit the forest trees above her. Rumble was going to do something. She had to figure out what. If no one else trusted him, she wouldn't either. She never did.

"I saw some guns gone from the Jubilife Streets. I'm guessing you had something to do with them? Why do you carry around all of that mechanic stuff anyways? Got something to hide?"

Her questions could go on forever, and she was sure the Reuniclus would be irritated eventually. Lydia walked through the grass with her grin kept on her face, but deep inside she could sense a pinch of discomfort coming from Rumble. Maybe he wasn't use to the forest...?

"Stop acting like you've never been outside before. You species lives outside anyways, as do most pokemon...unless your different."

"I saw some guns gone from the Jubilife Streets. I'm guessing you had something to do with them? Why do you carry around all of that mechanic stuff anyways? Got something to hide?"

Lydia spoke to him with telepathy. Everyone behind them were staring. Rumble ignored them and kept a passive face as he was staring at the Zorua next to him. His smirk had gone for some reason.

"You see me carrying any other weapons than those?"

The metallic tone of his voice was gone.

"Stop acting like you've never been outside before. You species lives outside anyways, as do most pokemon...unless your different."

"You're talking like you know my past. I haven't seen a forest, I haven't tasted the air for 12 years. I wasn't made to enjoy these things. I was made to hurt you and put you in a cage."

Rumble sounded angry. He hadn't spoken to anyone about his past and he didn't know he did now... The lust of revenge came back into him. He couldn't wait make his plan come true.

"You see me carrying anymore weapons than those?" Rumble replied back. His tone was slowly changing, and his smirk from earlier was gone. Her grin wasn't. When she was about to say something back in reply, her next answer was replied. His voice sounded angry, but the words were what drew her in.

"You're acting like you know my past. I haven't seen a forest, I haven't tasted the air for 12 years. I wasn't made to enjoy these things. I was made to hurt you and put you in a cage."

Her smile had disappeared by now, small bits of remorse collecting inside herself as she tried to comprehend what he was talking about. The main thing that stood out to her was the word 'made'. Rumble couldn't possibly have been 'made' by anyone, unless he had something to do with the humans, which also went back to his last sentence.

"I wasn't made to enjoy these things. I was made to hurt you and put you in a cage."

As it echoed in her mind, Lydia looked away from Rumble as if she had just been scolded severely, her steps never stopping. The Zorua wanted to know more, but knew it wouldn't be a clever idea to ask about it; as if he'd tell her. She wanted to apologize, but the words resisted coming out. Struggling for a reply, she blathered out whatever she could so that the situation wasn't awkward.

"I'm glad your helping us, then. Ummm...sorry for asking about that. I guess I don't have the right to judge you..." her voice almost sounded hollow, each sentence starting somewhat loud and getting quieter as it went on. She waited for the pokemon to say something, if he would.

Hector Arcturus
Outskirts of Jubilife City, on the road to Oreburgh

There were many differences between a Pokemon and a human. When a human walked, it could be heard. Their scent was easily picked up as well, especially by canine Pokemon. They spoke louder, and altogether, made so much more noise. A Pokemon had no need for shoes, and were much lighter on their feet usually. At least, most Pokemon were.

But the diversion army was different. It was filled primarily with larger Pokemon, and the Hector specifically requested that all Pokemon wear thick, heavy armor, if they had any, and march in standard formation, as they marched toward the city. This was for two reasons. One: He wanted to have his soldiers well protected. They weren't the invading force, and if he could protect them, he will. Two: He wanted them to make as much noise as possible. With all their armor, and their large statures, this army would be heard a mile away. Hector was certain of it. And while the humans would engage this army, General Khufu and Rumble would lead the others underground.

Hector only hoped no one would do anything stupid to mess it all up, or anything reckless either for that matter. Everyone wanted to be a hero, but no one is ever willing to pay the cost, not until it's too late.

Hector marched loudly with the rest of them, as they made their way to Oreburgh on the main road.

Rumble almost forgot about his plan when the Zorua spoke to him. He couldn't tell if she was deceiving him or not, and that made him even more mad. Some moments later he replied.

"No, you don't have the right to judge me. You weren't forced to torture your own kind.. but all this is going to end. I'm gonna fight force with force. And when I'm done, my sorrow will be reflected in their own eyes, their fear will calm my fury."

The Reuniclus wasn't sure why he trusted the Zorua with these words. His eyes were glowing once more as he looked forward.
He realised they had reached the spot just outside the sewers. From that spot they could see the main road and where Hector would arrive. He prepared his metallic voice again.

"Alright.. We're here. Now we're gonna wait for Hector to show up."
Rumble didn't look at Lydia at all afterwards.

Hector Arcturus
Road to Oreburgh City


Hector traveled along Route 203 with the rest of his army of armor-clad behemoths. To them, he was a smaller Pokemon. But, of course, Hector was also very quick on his feet.

As the army traveled, Hector wondered on what he'd expect. Heavy resistance, to be sure, but Hector had a feeling not quite as much as Jubilife. Jubilife was a much larger city, and had a much more strategic location. Of course there will still be quite a large fight, but with the planning they've done, Hector expected it to be a victory here. At least, that was the way it looked. Hector knew he couldn't assume anything until the task was done. He only hoped Rumble, Khufu and the rest of the army that would go through the sewers would pull through and do what was necessary. Although he only recently met him, he had a good feeling about Rumble. He wasn't popular among the troops, but he was intelligent, and knew Hector knew he would do what was necessary to win. Also, he wasn't someone who took outrageous risks. Hector expected good things from him as time would pass.

As the diversion army marched, Hector could see in the distance Oreburgh Gate, the cavern that leads to Oreburgh City. They weren't far now, and he was certain at this point, Khufu and the rest would be able to make their way to the sewers from then on. It was up to them, and he knew they wouldn't let him down. Hector had to be vigilant. As they approached closer and closer to the path, Hector watched his surroundings more and more. It was almost time to begin the attack. Their target was the electric fence, and it's generator, which Hector knew he would see soon as well.

War was coming, very soon.

Something had shifted in the pokemon's expressions when she spoke. He didn't trust her, which was fair enough as she felt the same way in comparability to him. For a moment they were just walking, Rumble levitating, but he soon spoke again.

"No, you don't have the right to judge me. You weren't forced to torture your own kind...but all this is going to end. I'm going to fight with force. And when I'm done, my sorrow will be reflected in their own eyes. Their fear will calm my fury."

His words reminded Lydia of Wade's own revenge when it came to his trainer. Pain was always the conclusion, and it was something she couldn't allow to happen. Maybe she was selfish, maybe she was making the wrong decision by helping the humans, but the Zorua knew by heart that recovering your feelings through revenge wasn't right. Was she the only sane pokemon here? Or was she the weird one? ...the Reuniclus had looked away from her now, but he wasn't going to leave her own sight.

Finally at their destination, Lydia's walk slowed into tiny steps, soon none. She examined the sewers as Rumble talked.

"Alright, we're here. Now we've gotta wait for Hector to show up. "

Lydia gave a slight nod, though her eyes where ghostly, not a smile nor a frown found on her face. It was blank, and her eyes were draining from color. Taking a moment to focus, she tried snapping back into energy with a Nasty Plot. Zorua's weren't the strongest of creatures, and although she had always trained herself to be a more formidable opponent, the weakness of being pre-evolved would always linger. This weakness also made her tired. Lydia waited patiently for the Arcanine, hoping he would show up soon.

"I propose we leave as soon as possible," Rumble said, his eyes glowing with what could only be greed. "I need to go now," he announced before levitating out of the room with most of the pokemon staring at him.

"I'm going to the restroom," Wade said shortly after and he too left the room. Soon after the two had left, Silence heard the door close and noticed that Lydia was also gone. 'Something's going on among those three...' she thought.

"This meeting is adjourned. All Pokemon, prepare for the battle. Any ground Pokemon, or any Pokemon who dislike the water of the sewers, you shall join me in the diversion assault. Meet me in a bit so I can debrief you all on how the assault will go down. We leave for Oreburgh soon. Very soon," Hector announced and left the room. Most of the pokemon remained in the room, including Silence. She was leaning against the wall in a corner of the room with her ears perked for any useful information. The commander came back and gathered the pokemon for the diversion attack on the electric fence. Rumble came in and said something to the commander that Silence couldn't catch than levitated away from him.

"Everyone who's willing to go in the sewers, come here," yelleddd Rumble a strong, metallic voice. It didn't take long for all the pokemon to gather before him. Well, all the pokemon except for Silence who remained where she was. "Our objective is to enter the sewers, and attack the humans straight into their pathetic town's heart. I will lead the way there, as I know that place better than my own paw." Rumble raised his left fist and smiled. "Oh yeah and the general will be with us as well." His tone was somewhat challenging as he looked at Khufu. The Reuniclus turned back to the gathered pokemon, the smile still plastered on his face. "I want your full co-operation, I went SILENCE in the sewers, everyone FOLLOW each other. If you get lost, STAY where you are," Rumble said, putting emphasis on the important words. "... This day is to be remembered. Follow me now."

As the rest of the pokemon followed Rumble out of the room, Silence waited until Khufu left to follow. Rumble wasn't the leader here and she wasn't about to act like he was. Besides, pretty much everyone was used to her being a bit stubborn about following commands. She would follow orders if they seemed reasonable, but Rumble was taking it to far. The way he challenged both the commander and general with his words... Silence didn't like it one bit.

The sun was rising as the army marched toward Oreburgh City and Silence stopped for a moment to take the beautiful sight in before walking on again behind Khufu. Finally, after quite awhile of walking, they made it to their destination.


"Alright.. We're here. Now we're gonna wait for Hector to show up," Rumble said. Silence had noticed that he seemed a bit... subdued during the march and wondered what was up. He hadn't said a word but he, as well as many other pokemon, could use telepathy so maybe a mind-to-mind conversation he had been having was upsetting him. She heard a loud rumbling and saw Hector's army going toward the path, their large bodies and heavy armor the cause of the noise.

Excitement and what might be discerned as bloodlust seeped into her eyes as she thought of the battle to come. Than she reminded herself that she needed to keep an eye on Rumble in case he tried anything funny. With a small sigh she looked around for him, only to spot Lydia first. She had a blank expression, but seemed to focus herself in the few moments Silence had been looking at her. The Weavile wondered what could have happened to the small dark-type, than remembered how Rumble had looked before they had arrived at the sewer entrance. It could just be coincidence that both of them were upset, but Silence wasn't sure. Right now though, that didn't matter. What mattered was that they took Oreburgh City.

Rumble
Forest
Clearing

Rumble noticed the dark Pokemon he saw before: the Weavile. He frowned, still with fury burning inside him, he turned to her and asked with his most unfriendly tone.

"What're ya lookin' at"

Without expecting a response, he went close to the Zorua. His tone changed dramatically.

"Stay out of trouble" advised her, with the frown still on his face but his eyes deceived him; he showed a little bit of genuine concern. He got closer to the ground and pat her head with his giant paw, almost as a friend. Then he immediately got up and looked out of the bush in front of him, at the main road: he could see another bunch of Pokemon coming closer. He took his eyes from that spot to somewhere right of him.

"Damn, they're stupid.." he whispered to himself as he saw the entrance of the sewers, just 50 meters away of the clearing of the forest. They didn't cover it with the fence.. we can get in.

He faced the crowd of the Pokemon behind him and got his metallic voice up once again.

"Hector is here. We can proceed to the sewers. Follow me as usual" some Pokemon cringed when they heard his voice -again- so suddenly, but they followed him out of the bush to the sewers. As Rumble went ahead, he felt confortable: a smell he knew very well. He entered the huge pipe, with his senses and his exitement overextended, he activated the flashlight on his right arm with telepathy and kept walking forward. He heard some Pokemon moaning about the smell.

"Silence!" he yelled. He smiled as his loud metallic voice echoed in the walls. It was ten times more annoying, he figured. Some of the Pokemon instanly went mute as they heard the sound.
The walls were pretty dirty. The waters were as well - but he didn't mind as he was levitating. The splashes of the Pokemon who were walking were getting in his nerves, he saw some Raticates hiding in the shadows.

With his grin still on his face, he turned to the general, while he lighted his face with his flashlight, making him look like a sewer monster of some sort.
"Lovely place don't you think?"
Rumble laughed... he stopped after a while. His eyes glowing in the dark, he focused in his path.
"You should leave the navigation to me, as I'm the one who can get us through here"

They walked a bit, took a few turns. Then Rumble saw a very familiar opening in the wall: it was like the pipe was melted.

"Turn left here" he yelled, his voice echoing making it sound even louder.

As he turned left he run through the corridor where he had planted the transmitter, the same corridor leading to his place. He made it levitate next to him with his powers as he walked into his former base. Everything seemed normal. He almost forgot he had a bunch of Pokemon following him.

"See these?" He pointed at some stairs with his flashlight, lighting them up. "this is our exit. Beyond this point - you'll fight. For your life. But, this shouldn't be before Hector engages. Don't worry, we'll hear him." Rumble had a serious face on. He turned around and headed for his old desk, placing the transmitter there. The Pokemon were already spreading in the room, and he, with a subtle move, threw the old remote of the transmitter and took a new one which was placed on top of a huge package. Then he looked at the dusty blueprints of the building above them, which he had in his desk.

Lydia
Clearing/Sewers


Rumble said something as he looked behind them, unaware of who was staring, she turned her head to see Silence. How long had she been staring at them...? The question escaped her mind as she noticed the Reuniclus leaning down towards her. She looked back to see him frowning, but his eyes showed another mood. Something she wasn't able to examine enough to identify. He spoke in a different voice, "Stay out of trouble," while patting the Zorua's head. She flinched with extreme irritation, but managed to shake it off as he stopped.

Her 'enemy' faced the crowd of pokemon before him, announcing they would head inside and begin. Crawling in the sewers was the last thing Lydia wanted to do, but as long as she kept a good eye on Rumble, she's be satisfied. Following in front of the large group, everyone entered the pipes, some cautious due to the overwhelming stench. Her sensitive nose picked it up as well, and she almost gagged from the smells, wondering how pokemon could live in such fowl conditions.

The army of pokemon walked through the filthy water with disgusted expressions. Grime and mold was found covering the walls, other unknown substances scattered around as well. As the water dripped down, Lydia felt it as one of the droplets touched her nose. Though eager to fuss, she ignored it as the water glided down her snout and off her chin. It was horrible to know the humans had destroyed such a great portion of the forest in place of their cities and sewers such as this.

As the complaining began from other pokemon in the crowds, Rumble shouted out at them in frustration, "SILENCE!". Her drowsiness was snapped out the moment it came. Through the pipes, his voice echoed, much more powerful and louder than it already was. She clenched her teeth as her ears felt as if they were bleeding from the screech. The Zorua wished he would be at least a bit quieter, or change his voice again. He was now, once again, chatting with Khufu. Rumble appeared unaffected by the stench.

Like zombies, every pokemon followed both Rumble and his flashlight in a trance. Whispering was rare, as whenever the Reuniclus turned around they would close their mouths immediately. The splashes of water echoed from the walls. Lydia's fur was now soaked, her mane occasionally getting sucked into the filthy water. Occasionally, she would use her little psychic power to pluck out the grime. Turning to Silence, she spoke telepathically.

"I'm spying on Rumble. If we break apart from the crowd, can I trust you won't follow us..? I'm getting information about the pokemon myself. I need you to stay with Khufu, in case anything happens..."

The Zorua tried to pull a trustworthy smile to let the member know she ment it, but the stench knocked it away. At their 'exit' as the Reuniclus said it was, the pokemon spread out slowly, and she shook the water from her fur, avoiding spraying anyone while doing it. Patting down her mane, she sneaked through the corner of her eye at Rumble in case he tried to pull anything suspicious. She walked behind him, letting him know she wasn't going to leave.

Silence Quickslash
Outside Oreburgh City
Entering Sewers


"What're ya lookin' at?" Rumble asked Silence. Without waiting for a response, he turned back to the Zorua next to him. She perked her ears to hear what he said. "Stay out of trouble," he advised Lydia, giving her a pat on the head. Though he was wearing a frown, Silence detected something in his voice... Concern? 'Seems the mighty Rumble has a soft spot,' she thought. "Hector is here. We can proceed to the sewers. Follow me as usual," the Reuniclus announced and made his way to the sewer entrance. Silence followed directly behind Khufu, both to show Rumble that the Flareon was really the one incharge here and so she could keep an eye on the psychic type.

The sewers were dark and smelly. Being a dark-type, the darkness didn't bother her in the least and having practically lived most of her younger life in a dumpster helped her to overcome the smell. Some of the pokemon were complaining and the Weavile heard Rumble's shout of, "Silence!" echo down the pipes. 'Yes, sir?' she thought sarcasticly and snickered silently to herself, earning a few strange looks from those around her.

Rumble turned and shone his flashlight in the general's face. "Lovely place, don't you think?" he laughed. "You should leave the navigation to me, as I'm the one who can get us through here." With that, they trudged on through the sewers with the psychic type leading the way.

Lydia turned to her and Silence heard her voice in her mind. [I]"I'm spying on Rumble. If we break apart from the crowd, can I trust you won't follow us...? I'm getting information about the pokemon myself. I need you to stay with Khufu, in case anything happens..." The Zorua tried to pull a trustworthy smile but failed. Silence frowned and shook her head. She didn't trust the Zorua enough. Besides, if Lydia found out something there was no guarantee she would tell Silence.

After awhile of walking throngh the grimy water, Rumble called, "Turn left here!" and they went through a hole in the pipe wall. Silence felt a prick of annoyance as she lost sight of him for a moment when he turned the corner. "See these?" he said while pointing his flashlight at a flight of stairs. "This is our exit. Beyond this point - you'll fight. For your lives. But, this shouldn't be before Hector engages. Don't worry, we'll hear him."

If she hadn't been watching him as closely as she was, Silence probably wouldn't have noticed him throw away a transmittor he was holding only to pick up a different one. She stood with her arms crossed and watched the Reuniclus, wondering not for the first time what he was up to...

Oreburgh
Hospital


Mark knocked on the door again, 'God, there taking forever to open the door' mark thought to himself. After waiting another five minutes, mark opened the door. "You are Jack Spark." Mark switched his visor to clear, "Sorry to interrupt, but i brought presents from my friend in sunyshore. There napalm molotov cocktails, you each get two, sometimes low tech beats high tech, know what i mean." Mark started to walk away when he remembered something, "Oh, if you need me, radio me, bye." Mark left the room and closed the door, knowing he was going to get in trouble for barging in the room. Mark walked out and to the F1, unlocking the trunk so his comrades could get there low-tech pieces of death, the next battle had to be coming soon, anyways. Mark walked up to the Armory, It's time he found out what was in it, although he knew there wouldn't be anything as good as what he had. Vargas entered the warehouse and was taken by surprise at how much was in there, shelve upon shelve, row upon row, of guns, explosives, ammo. "First time here?" a lady asked from behind him "Yea, can you point me to the 50. Caliber rounds?" The woman pointed to a corner of the building, "Over there, we got all kinds, Armor piercing, inferno, hollow point, Hand Load and more, take you pick." Mark walked over to the corner. The woman didn't lie, there was all the kinds of 50. rounds, what mark was after was next to a suspicious door. Mark opened it and peeked in, stairs going under the city, must have been one of the sewer entrances. If you listened closely you could hear voices, mark assumed it was the sewer workers and closed the door. who knew where the workers could be, those sewers can echo your voice for miles if you speak loud enough, Mark knew, he had fallen in once as a child, through a loose grate. He got back on task and grabbed all the 50. ammo types he could carry.

Rumble
Oreburgh
Sewers/Armory

Suddenly Rumble heard a sound from above. He raised his ears - something he didn't do often - trying to hear more. It sounded like a door...
Other Pokemon had noticed the sound as well and they were looking up. Probably wondering the same thing as Rumble did - were they found?

I'll go investigate. Stay in your positions, nobody speak.

Rumble sent the psychic pulse to all of the Pokemon that had gathered in the room, which consumed a large portion of his powers. But, silence was crucial.
The psychic Pokemon vanished in front of their eyes as he activated his Camo, grabbed the fairly big package he had under his desk and walked upstairs.

General, it's up to you now.

As Rumble slowly levitated upstairs, with his senses extended once more, and the expression of seriousness - which wasn't fake. He turned off his flashlight. He walked the stairs up to the small corridor he knew so well and in the end, the the exit of the sewers. The door seemed closed.
Rumble realised - now it was his chance. He walked towards the door.. opened it, the cracking sound was heard again. Light blinded him. He left the door behind him open, in case somebody was looking at him - or what appeared to be a door opening and closing by itself.
The small house which he came out (and wasn't supposed to be helding the exit of the sewers) was right next to the big building of the armory. The invisible Pokemon looked around. Some armed humans were walking down the street. He swallowed his urge to burn them down to cinders, blowing up his plan. All in good time..

Rumble got passed the guards at the Armory's entrance. He walked in the hall. Having the building's blueprints in his head, he navigated through the biggest room of the building - full of guns of all sorts. He walked wall to wall and deactivated the right side of the Camo (the one facing the wall) so it wouldn't get overheated. He "met" with a few humans, and got passed them silently.
He looked around at all those guns. Then he realised how much weapons of destructions (massive or not) humans liked to make.
Yeah but they're gonna regret making me..
But he'd better admit he liked all those and would "borrow" them if he had the time or capablity. Instead he kept walking towards the far end of the room - he saw what he was looking for - a dark blue door! But as he got closer he realised it was locked.
Damnit.. where the heck is the key?

His question was answered right away - the guard of the door was talking with some other guard on his right. Although he was feeling the left side of the Camo overheating and his cells being destroyed, he activated the right side of his cloak and got closer to the humans. He was about the same height as them.
Rumble made a weird move with his right hand like he was pushing something that wasn't even there - it wasn't. The table full of the guns and their bullets fell in front of the guards. He heard one swearing as he was picking some of the guns. Rumble saw the blue card-key on his belt. The Camo was burning him, but he raised his left arm in the height of the card-key and used his powers again, making it slip through the air and coming towards him. They couldn't possibly see anything as the guard with the card-key had his back turned on Rumble and the other one was in front of him.

Rumble caught the keys and immediately headed for the door, he could feel the cloak melt his gel. He ran the card-key through the mechanism and the door opened with a sound Rumble didn't want to hear - a beep.
The Pokemon went all out, he threw everything he was carrying in the room with his right hand, the package he got under his desk and the burning Camo, which landed slowly.
It seemed like time had stopped as Rumble charged againist the guards standing 2 meters away from him, using his telepathy disable the closer guard by blinding him shorty with telepathy and he raised his right arm, aimed at the throat of the second guard and pulled the trigger of the glove as a drill launched out of it and hit the human exactly on the spot. After he fell on the ground, dead, Rumble's fist landed on the face of the blinded guard who was about to scream. The psychic type Pokemon hit the human with such force, he fell unconscious, probably dead because of the size of what hit him.

2 seconds... 2 seconds for 2 human lives, he thought as he turned his back on them, walking into the room he had dreamed about for 12 years. The first thing he did was check if the explosives in the package were okay after their flight. Then he looked around the room, investigating. It was a plain room with alot of pointless space and another door by the end of it. A metallic door. Just like the blueprints. He put the explosives under the metallic door.. then it struck him; He pulled another drill of his back and loaded the glove. He wrote 3 words on the wall, using the drill, with pretty ugly letters:

I SEE YOU

Mark had finished collecting ammo when he heard a giant *Crash* behind him, He spun around to find a guard with a pretty high profanity vocabulary picking up weapons. What was behind him was more concerning to mark, What looked like a gas, could only be an Active Camo. Mark hid behind a shelve and pulled his radio up to his mouth. "I want this city on FULL Lockdown, we have unwanted guest, send reinforcements to the armory ASAP" Mark Turned on his own active camo and walked out. Mark saw a reuniclus, it looked like a freaking mech with all its guns and armor, kill the two guards that were picking up the guns. "Sh*t, gonna need an armor division to win this fight." Mark followed the floating armory into a room and quietly watched as he put something under the Blast doors. Mark thought to himself 'If those are explosives, they better be pretty strong, that is a blast door, its built to withstand a pretty good blast. God, what is he doing?' Vargas moved closer up. 'I'm on to you, and whatever your doing' Mark was practically standing next to the pokemon when he decided to stop. 'I SEE YOU? No you don't, what does he mean by that, or does he really see me?' Mark felt like a ninja, right next to the enemy, but this was not the time to get ****, this was obviously the start of another attack.

Lydia looked behind to see the Weavile shaking her head. A growl rose from her throat. She should have expected the pokemon not to trust her. A sound from above made her ears twitch with curiosity. That's when it hit her- a pulse of energy went through her brain, most likely from Rumble. It echoed in her brain. "Stay in your positions. Nobody speak". The Zorua didn't take orders from him, she wouldn't now.

She narrowed her eyes as she watched him levitate away. He looked concentrated on something. Lydia had to follow him, and she didn't care if anyone noticed her leaving. With a flash of her eyes, she took the illusion of a shadow, creeping along the walls and through the corridors. The Zorua was relieved to know she would be out of the sewers soon enough, and as she followed the Reuniclus out of the area, light shot into her eyes as she exited through the door with him. Her white pupil narrowed as it adjusted to the sun's violent rays.

Lingering behind the psychic pokemon, his appearance soon vanished as he took on what appeared to be an active camo. She was completely unaware of her surroundings as she focused only on her target. However, she wasn't oblivious enough to hide her view from the few human's they passed. Both her and Rumble were hiding their urges to attack, though the Zorua kept her calm easier with less irritation as the psychic.

He levitated fast, looking to be in a rush. Rumble stopped at a blue door, as she did the same. The pokemon needed keys to the unknown door, knowing whatever was inside was vital to his plans. The Zorua watched as he searched for the item, suddenly pin-pointing it as he stared at some guards nearby. Grabbing a card with his psychic energy, he headed back for the door. His camo was slowly burning him, as his gel was melting from the side. However, as he inserted the card, a small 'beep' went through her ears.

Immediately, she lingered backwards as the Reuniclus took action. She averted her dark eyes from the scene, herself invisible as her shadow hid with anything else it could find. A shot was heard, and when she turned around, both were dead. A shiver crept up her spine, amazed at how much anger was really stored inside this pokemon. She was stalking him...

An evil grin crept up his face as he opened the door. Walking inside, he pulled out explosives he had been hiding, including other instruments. Examining the room, he was an evil mastermind at work. However, soon enough he took out his drill again. It was large, and began engraving words into the wall. Though not surprised, Lydia was horrified by what she saw.

"I SEE YOU"

All of a sudden, that's when a human appeared, also now entering the room. Rumble faced him as he sounded an alarm. "I want this city on FULL Lockdown, we have unwanted guest, send reinforcements to the armory ASAP". She recognized the human. He was holding out a knife, approaching Rumble. It was almost too late for him to finish his sentence as she immediately took action, even before the Reuniclus could take care of the human himself. Blurs of darkness gathered together, the shadows hiding among the room forming her shape. Cracks forming, the black unfolding to reveal the Zorua who was originally hiding. While still surrounded by the shadows, Lydia raced at him, leaving the blur of darkness behind.

With a blast of dark aura, a Sucker Punch blew the human out of the entrance as she flipped back on the ground safely. It was fast, somewhat hard...though immediately he went unconscious. He had hit his head hard on the wall, a small bit of blood dripping down. The Zorua walked over to check if he was still awake. He wasn't, though she felt grief for the sudden attack, she couldn't let the humans intrude. Turning around, she saw the Reuniclus hovering over her. Her colors returned as she also turned to face him. walking back inside the room, weapons were everywhere. She was still shivering.

"What are you planning...? I've followed you all this way. There has to be a reason why you came here. Tell me," her small voice had changed, struggling to be as stern as possible. Her own eyes were glowing now with a vibrant red.

"Those explosives...are you actually, going to use them?"

It was clear in her mind now. Rumble didn't even have to talk; he was getting revenge. Her eyes narrowed as she finally was able to comprehend the PR member's master plan. She couldn't allow it.

"This isn't the right thing to do. Listen to me. You can't blow up everything...you can't!" the Zorua growled, her ears pinning back. Her emotions were taking over for some illogical reason. She really was a traitor.

Pulling out his knife, Mark raised it above the Reuniclus' head. Marks active camo suddenly made a series of 3 beeps, mark thought to himself ' No! not yet!" When the camo turned off. "Hehehe, How ya doin, stabbed, i would say so!" Mark taunted the Reuniclus. started to bring down the knife to the Reuniclus' head until he was hit with a sucker punch, It fit, as mark felt like a sucker for not watching his flank. Mark tried to pull out his pistol but lost consciousness and dropped the still weird pistol on the ground. Mark landed, helmet falling off and hitting his head off the wall, blacking out.

(OOC: trying something different, don't judge me!)

Mark's visor started up.
'Position unknown.............Searching for user location................Error.......User not found........Proceeding start up program.' The world suddenly came to life in front of mark, he was outside, as the sky indicated. Mark sat up, he was in the desert. "God, this is worse than getting P*ss drunk and waking up in the woods, i mean, im in a desert" Mark looked around, his stuff was slightly scattered, but it was there. Mark gathered his equipment and headed for the nearest road, which he could see from his current position. During his short walk to the road he noticed his vitals were being displayed at the top of the screen, along with a measure of his "health" Mark didn't remember installing the H.U.D update, and didn't his helmet fall off in the fight. Mark arrived to the road, and the sign on the other side. Mark walked over to it. Las Vegas - 20 miles"What's Las Vegas?" Mark asked himself. Mark started walking there anyways Passing several dead bodies.
