The Crystal Flute

Status
Not open for further replies.
Things happened so fast for the two siblings. First they had learned that the reason they were called around was so that they could gather the pieces of the Crystal flute. Then Team Rocket just ran off with the only piece in possession, whilst turning a blonde haired boy into a Skarmory-hybrid in their getaway. And just to top things off a fire started in the lab. The two of them just couldn't keep up with what was going on.

Yoshi kept CK close to comfort and protect her, and he noticed two shady characters making their way towards the route out of town. He didn't think much of it, but just watched as a massive wave washed over the lab, putting out the fire.

'This is insane.' the older sibling said. He had enough of just standing around doing nothing. He let go of CK and walked a little closer to the group, and heard them discussing Team Rocket.

He then stepped up behind one of the people and fired a couple of questions. 'How many pieces are we looking for? Do we know where any of them are?'
 
OOC: Oh darn, I'm gone for three days and there's FIVE pages of posts?!? Reading all of them took me an hour-and-a-half...

**By the way, I think I'm going go stray away from the groups for a while... but don't worry, I'll join up with you later. I have my reasons for doing this...

Eve, Tiffany, and Phoebe ran clear out of the lab and into the forest as soon as the two thieves released the smoke bombs. (Well, at least Phoebe ran--Tiffany flew and Eve floated.) Then they stopped behind a bunch of trees and put their heads together to discuss a plan. Their eyes were also fixed on the lab.
"What in the world was that?" Phoebe exclaimed.
"Heh, I hope that's not PHT gas they're setting off," Eve commented.
"Nah, I bet it's just smoke," Tiffany figured.

A while later, the Dark Friends saw two people running out of the lab, putting a glowing green thing into a box along the way.
"The flute piece," Eve realized.
"Shall we follow them?" Tiffany requested.
"Let's see what they're doing..." Phoebe recommended. So the three of them kept watching the two thieves' actions.

A while later, the two thieves were in a battle with another trainer. During that time, the Dark Friends picked up snippets of information on them, based on their conversation. It turns out the thieves were from Team Rocket and were named Bunch and Casi. Anyways, a short while into the battle, Casi took out a device and caused a familiar pink gas to engulf the area around her.
"That's PHT," Phoebe remembered.
"Psst, I have an idea," Tiffany whispered. She stepped out from the trees and beckoned the other two to follow her. Their two Pokemon followed behind.
"Oh, and I think I know what it is," Eve remarked.

Seconds later, the gas started to clear. In its place were a bunch of unconscious people and a few Pokemon, but no Rockets...
"Where did they go?" Phoebe wondered.
"I think we should go look for them," Tiffany suggested. "My vision seems to have improved since becoming this harpy-ish hybrid, so I think I'll fly over the area and see what's there."
"I think if I were a criminal," Eve noted, "I would flee to some place where I could not be easily seen or found. Like, say... the forest we were just standing in a minute ago?"
"Ooh, good thinking," Tiffany remarked. "I'll fly over the forest then, and see what I can see. Mind if I take Happy?"
"I guess so..." Phoebe didn't really like the idea of being alone under possible attack from Team Rocket, but she felt a mild surge of bravery at that moment...
"I'll see if I can turn at least fairly invisible," Eve stated, "and find them by flying through the trees. I'll take Samara with me."

So Phoebe walked into the forest alone, trying to make as little sound as possible. Meanwhile, Tiffany flew above the forest, carrying Phoebe's Houndoom along in her feet. And Eve and her Banette held hands and floated through the forest, passing right through the trees that were in their way. Eve tried to make herself invisible, but she only made herself a little transparent and couldn't get any further than that.

OOC: Yeah, I know that post was rushed... but it's 1:30 AM where I am...
 
Azaria had made it out of the building, but she had long sinced lost sight of her Espeon. Wiping the ash from her face, she half walked, half stumbled towards the chaotic scene. People around her were trying their best to help level the situation and Azaria felt too scared and confused to help.

A few people rushed past her, but she didn't have the will to ask them what exactly was going on. Besides, her missing Espeon seemed more important and standing here waiting everything happen wasn't going to be much help at all.

Taking slow steady steps foward, Aza kept an eyeout for both her Espeon and what was around her. Occasionally she would stop in a fit of coughs and sneezes that painfully shook her whole body.

What the heck was going on around here and where was everyone else?

What could she do? Should she try to help others or try searching for her lost Pokemon? Azaria hated not knowing what to do next, just as much as she hated crowds and company.
 
"We are fine Mike, thanks. Your Dragonair has a strong Surf attack, jeesh." Suddenly someone stepped up to them and asked; "How many pieces are we looking for? Do we know where any of them are?" Marina thought about it. She knew nothing at all, coming from the other side of the ocean. She wished she knew something though, and she pulled her yellow PokéNav out of her bag to see if it worked here. She turned the powerswitch to on, and waited for the device to start up.

Then Marina saw someone, walking around aimlessly, scouting all around her as if she was looking for someone or something. She seemed really desperate, so Marina went over to look if she could help, still holding the PokéNav in her right hand.

"Hey you! How are you? I don't think you are allright though. Whatcha looking for?" she asked the girl. She did not look well...
 
Azaria blinked, silently taking on the blonde-haired girl's appearance. For a brief moment hazel eyes met brown before the auburn-haired girl glanced down to stare absentmindedly at the girl's pink shirt.

Aza swallowed and licked her dry lips. Giving a light cough she opened her mouth to speak, "Nothing. I-I..."

The girl frowned and then suddenly her eyes flickered in anger for a brief moment and the tone of her voice became flat.

"My Espeon. I'm looking for my Espeon."

Expresson now pretty much plain, Azaria gazed down at the girl's blue sneakers.
 
Marina felt sorry for the girl. She had lost her Espeon, and was very upset by it. Something was strange with this girl, she seemed very shy. As if others were always strangers around her and Marina wanted to do something about it.

Marina reached for her belt, and grabbed a pokeball. She enlarged it and let her Pikachu out. "Here, this is Pikachu. He is going to help us find your Espeon," Marina said to the girl.

"Pika Pi Pi?" Pikachu asked. "We need to find an Espeon, this girls Espeon. You go ahead, we'll be right behind you." Then Pikachu dashed off towards the lab.

"Are you coming with me? No use standing around here, being sorry and desperate while you could be finding your Espeon! And it seems its in the lab, otherwise Pikachu would not go there!" Then Marina grabbed the girls hand to guide her towards the lab...
 
Azaria had half a mind to pull her hand out from the girl's grsp, but instead allowed her to lead the way. Although, she didn't seem too pleased with heading towards the general direction of the lab, her hazel eyes darting nervously this way and that.

"Maybe Porphyra went somewhere else," she suggested, half hopeful.

Porphyra was taught never to go into a burning building, so Azaria doubted that the Espeon would try to enter a smoking building. Then again, Porphyra cared more for her trainer's safety then her own.

Realisation hit Azaria as she wrenched her grip from the other girl and rushed towards the lab. While her moves were usually slow and uncertain, she could move quickly when she wanted to and in no time she had seperated from her company.

Upon reaching lab and drawing in a sharp intake of breath, Azaria called out Porphyra's name once and waited. She waited for less then a minute before calling the Espeon's name again and when there wasn't another answer, Azaria considered entering the building and retreiving the Espeon herself.

However, that would be a very stupid and foolish thing to do. Yet hadn't the girl sent her Pikachu inside? Azaria's thoughts went to her own Pikachu-Kerauno.
 
((OOC: Wow. A day gone and you've added two pages. A lot's happened, then, ya? And Bijou, to whom was the warning issued?))

((IC))

So sleepy. What's wrong with me? Cody? Kyr? Star??

I opened my eyes slowly, still feeling weak from the events in the lab. "Kyr... I thought I lost you..."

{Wow, it looks like someone took my advice about the water, didn't they?} I asked Solice. {That place looks like a freakin' tsunami hit it...}

{Yea, I know,} Solice replied. {I think that was from a Dragonite. Mike's safe, though, Avi. Cody rescued you... or maybe he was messing around with you while you slept, I dunno. Cain didn't get as lucky, I don't think. I sense that the PHT has affected him somehow.}

{Solice... you're a good friend.}

I lifted my head laboriously. "Kyr... thank you. I thought I was a goner... why is there a patch of my shirt lying to my right?"
 
Marina was surprised by the girl's sudden change of heart. She must've realised something. Marina ran after her in the hope they find the Espeon they were looking for.

The lab was soaked. All the computers were leaking water and the floor was drenched. Inside she saw the girl screaming out for her pokemon, so Marina decided to comfort her. "Save your breath. I'm sure Porphyra is quite allright, I think an Espeon can take a Surf attack like that, especially if its your Espeon. I think it's at least as strong as you are beautiful," Marina said smiling to the girl.

Then she saw a large closet, strangely dry, standing in the corner. She decided to open it up to see how it could've stayed dry after such a strong Surf attack. "Jeesh, that's one strong Dragonair, I want to battle it sometime." She said to herself.

Pikachu was sniffing the closet, meaning something must be inside. "Good job Pikachu, let's open it up." She grabbed the doorknob and gently pulled the on it. The door was unlocked and Marina opened it completely. Inside was an Espeon and a Charmander. "Hey girl! Is this your Espeon? It kept this Charmander dry inside the closet, so it is already a hero."


OOC : The fire is already out ;) thanks to that enormous Surf of Charizard_maa's char's pokemon. I think you missed it, or am i wrong ?

and yeah, this rp goes with light speed O.o
 
The houndour didnt back down at the sight of a pokemon that was stronger. This is what surprised me.

"CUT ATTACK"

It missed and the houndour used Ember attack. It burned Slicer very badly.

"RETURN SLICER"

So I returned Slicer and released Iris

"Iris use water gun"

The water sprayed against the houndour. It was just about to faint. So I dug into my saddle bag for a pokeball. I finnaly found my last one and used it

"POKEBALL GO"

The pokeball hit the houndour and it disapeared into it. The pokeball wobbled 3 times and then stopped. I had caught the Houndour.

"I will name you DarkForce"

I left the forest after that. I went back to Elm's Lab to check what was going on there.
 
Nobody answered Yoshi's questions, so he figured that as an 'I don't know'. He was beginning to get a litle restless about the whole thing, ever since watching the hybrid transformation in real life for the first time. Put simply, he was a little freaked out.

CK was also very concerned about what was going on, but was currently thinking about Balos. He was becoming quite a pain lately and kept on letting himself out of his Pokeball for no good reason. She had a good mind to swap him for Rat right about now.

Azaria shivered as she listened to the girl's words. The girl knew nothing about Porphyra. How could she be so quick to think that Porphyra was OK? Azaria hoped that the girl was right and she had to admit that the girl's confidence perked her up a little.

However, there was something in the girl's speech that made Azaria do a double take. Did she just say I was beautiful? Azaria couldn't help, but short in amusement. No way. She had to have misunderstood or it was a mistake on the girl's part.

"Hey girl! Is this your Espeon? It kept this Charmander dry inside the closet, so it is already a hero."

Azaria jolted as the sudden sound of the voice. "Oh, ah...yeah." She paused for a brief moment before adding, "thanks."

Azaria didn't need to bend down to pick up the Espeon as Porphyra had already leapped into her arms with loud squeal of delight. The red-head smiled as the split-tailed Pokemon played with the girl's messy hair.

She gazed down at the Charmander, not regonising it. Although, she did have a Charmander of her own, but didn't remember releasing him.
 
I walked up to the lab and went to the door. I pulled the doornob and the entire door gave way. So I picked it up and put it down. I noticed that there were a few things that happened in the aftermath of the big wave of the dragonite.

I noticed the Quilava hybrid was on the ground. A few other people were commenting about an Espeon and a Charmander. But when I walked in it felt like they were just talking about me. It felt cold against the steel that plated me. Nevertheless I went up to Elm.

"How many Crystal peices are there that we need to find? But how will we find them?"
 
Still on all fours, I crawled weakly to the remains of the lab, staring at the rubble and decay that was formerly Johto's premier research facility. I felt myself losing energy more quickly that the Jolteon as it runs. I fainted onto the ground, inches from death, my face purple and sickly.

They laced that smoke bomb... with PHT. I knew it; I'm usually an ace at scents of gaseous forms. Cain... you are a Hybrid now...

"Oh god... where's the Professor? Where's Amanda? That flute piece... they took it. Ow!" I said, yanking my right paw up from the ground. "Son of a... eh?" I looked at the shard that had cut me, and cried when I realized it was just window glass. I coughed hoarsely for a few seconds, and shook my head.

"I'm... all right," I said, perking up. "Thank the Legendaries... where's Kyr?" I shot a look behind me, and shrugged. I turned in Cain's direction, shocked at what I was seeing...

"... Cain... they got you, didn't they?" I shook my head, straightening up my attitude.

{Cain. Where did the spies go?} I asked telepathically.
 
I was shocked that someone just spoke to me telepathicly. It was the Quilava Hybrid named Avi.

"They got away. The smoke wasnt laced with PHT. They used PHT on me by themselves"

Just then I noticed that Avi was hurt and it seemed inches from death.

"You should get some rest you are badly injured."

I took a potion out of my saddle bag. It seemed pretty strange to use it on something that wasnt fully pokemon
 
{Thank... you...} I replied to Cain, who had given me the Potion. {Only half-right then. But I knew for a fact that someone had slathered PHT here. I'm... so sleepy. I won't die on you, I just... need sleep. Tell Kyra I'm at the remains if she wants me.}

I blinked twice, staring at what used to be the spot of a high-tech supercomputer facility, used for analyzing DNA and examining unnatural illnesses of Pokémon. It's all gone. The flute, the machines, the trackers. They took it all.

{Cain. I may not be fully Pokémon, but I am getting some benefit from that Potion you gave me. Thank you; I will certainly owe you one.} As I broke the last word off, I flopped on my belly, closed my eyes, and began a peaceful rest from the worries around me...
 
Avi was just about to fall asleep. I knew that he needed rest.

"Professer Elm Avi is badly hurt."

Professer Elm started to take tests on Avi but I knew that they wouldnt help. This was a nightmare. In only a few short hours we managed to get a crystal peice stolen. Me getting mutated and Avi seeing death in the face. So I did what anyone would have done. Kept adminstering the potion and searched my bag for something stronger
 
OOC:

Yeah. You can do what ever you want with your pokemon. Evolve them. Trade them. Doesn't matter.

That is ok if you want to be on your own. Just don't forget to post in the RP to show that you are still alive. I understand. I embrace if you go on your own for a little in the RP.

Yeah. As long as you haven't use the pokemon then you can change them.

Oh. I have a Dragonair. Not a Dragonnite. haha. It is ok though.

PRofessor Elm was looking at what was left of his lab. He was a bit upset about what happen to his lab but sighed. "At least the I have all my information and research is saved to the Oak Research System. Still it is a shame about what has happen." Soon Che was called by Cain to help Avi who was hurt by the massive wave. He then pulled out something that looked like a Full Restore but pink. "This is a Full Restore that me and other professors have develope to help heal hybrids. This should help a little."

Casi and Bunch were now in their chopper flying away from the city. It looked like a news chopper and they were changing into news caster disguises. "That was easy." said Casi as she place a red wig on her head.

AManda was hearing some of the questions that were being asked. The machop hybrid then said, "Well there are six pieces. One of them is in the hands of Team Rocket while the other five are with who ever has them. As of how to find them that may be a bit hard."

MIke was close by and said, "I notice the Crystal Piece was glowing green. How come?"

Amanda then answered, "That is the blessing of Celebi. The flute was originally a blue crystal but once Celebi bless the flute it became green as you can see. Professor Elm was able to create an uncompletely device that was to help us find the other pieces."

Mike stayed there with his charizard and dragonair listening to the the hybrid speak.
 
Elm gave Avi the full restore. I was relived since the potion ran out. He said that Avi needed more rest then he would be okay.

"well thats a relief. But what do we do now?"

Elm said to speak to Amanda about that. So I went over to Amanda. She was talking to the Charizard owner about the flute.

"Amanda what do we do now"

Amanda said Elm created a device that would help with finding the other peices. Once everybody was ready we would be able to find the peices for the flute.
 
The Espeon named Porphyra jumped into its trainers arms. It started playing with the girl's red hair. The pokemon seemed very delighted, but another didn't.

"Hey," Marina said to the Charmander," are you affraid? What's the matter?" Pikachu tried to comfort the Charmander, but then he saw something. "Pika pi pi chu pika!" Then Marina saw it aswell. The charmander was hurt badly, probably by the gas explosion earlier.

"Professor Elm!" Marina was carrying the Charmander in her arms towards Prof Elm. "Professor, this pokemon got badly hurt and doesn't look very good. Can you help it please?"

Professor Elm took a look. "It's a very bad burn. Must've been that explosion earlier. Here, use this potion on him, it might help." The professor took a potion from a plank behind him, the plank barely keeping up. "Give me a sec to look for a burn heal aswell." The professor rumuged through some boxes, soaking wet and almost falling apart. "Ah, here is one! Here, catch." Elm threw the burn heal towards Marina. "Now take care of that Charmander, will ya?"

Marina used both the healing items on the Charmander. It looked better already. Pikachu was comforting the Charmander while Marina took care of it. "There you go buddy, almost as good as new! Well, now you can go back to your home again." But Charmander looked up at Marina with sobbing eyes.

"Charmander Char Char." "Pika pii?" "Charmaaander Chaar"

"You want to come with me then?" The Charmander nodded and jumped into Marina's arms. Then she grabbed an empty pokeball and captured the Charmander, and then returned her Pikachu.

Marina walked back towards the girl and her Espeon. "You ready to travel and find this flute? Then let us go together! Girls like us need to stick together." And Marina reached out her arm to the girl to pull her up...

OOC : Well, Marina still didn't get your name ;)
