OOC: let's all jump this several hours later; at the black market now.

--

Finally, after searching the city from top to bottom, it was found. The one place we were all looking for. Great, now we could go find that wing, or whatever, and get on the road again, one step closer to finding where all the Pokémon had gone to.

There weren't neon lights hanging that pointed us to this general location; it was pretty hard to find it. But now, 4:00 PM, it all seemed to be working out well. Because we were here.

This would have made me cheer for all of us having found the location, but for some reason, I didn't feel the slightest bit of the cheering kind now. I found that there were a lot of…differences in many people. It was kind of freaky, and I was slightly disturbed. I felt scared of some of the people, and safer to some I didn't even know. Why? It didn't make sense. Whether it mattered or not wasn't something I should have been contemplating at the moment; because the main focus was finding what we had come here for.

"Alright, where do you guys suppose would be the general location of something such as a 'Rainbow Wing'?"
 
"Lets start searching first." Cain answered.

The party started walking around. Eventualy they came across a wide alley.

"Hey maybe we should go through here?"

Cain walked forward into the alley and felt the largest suspision of being watched
 
Ruya scanned the area with a feeling of foreboding. It didn't really have anything to do with the location or the people around them, it was just there. Perfectly natural, she thought to herself. After all, think about what we're here to do. We're going to break into the Team Rocket Black Market and steal the only known remnant of Pokemon in the world. They won't be happy with us.

"Alright," said Tom, "where do you guys suppose would be the general location of something such as a 'Rainbow Wing'?"

"Probably anywhere with a lot of security." She looked around as if she might see a group of guards standing beside a door or box or something of the sort. Nothing like that was visible and she hadn't expected it to be. "I guess now would be a good time to split into groups, much as I don't want to. We shouldn't do anything, though. If we find anything suspicious we should just wait and tell everyone else at some set time and place."
 
OOC: I'm in the mood for a small plot twist.. Uh.. Tell me what you think of it though, Kinda like a Dr. Jeckal and Mr. Hyde thing, Lil' AJ being so evil. I'm going to switch him out for an older version for a little while. Scientific Explanation: He's going to use Biokinesesis, Which is a form of psychic ability, and if you havn't figured that he is by yet, I have the right to smack you! He's going to actully think he's an older person though, Like a diffrent life. Like all the other times he used his Psychic abilitys, he has no control just an impulse.
Well I'll try it out now and you tell me what you think.

Name: AJ Valentine
Sex: Male
Age: 17
Description: AJ is a medium sized Hispanic teen, He's about Five Foot seven and weighs around 145 something pounds. His eye's are a Cloudy blue and his teeth are nice and pearly, He is wearing an earing in his left ear and has a tattoo of the cross on his forehead. He wears Black leather pants and a black shirt with a white cross and the words 'Judgment Day' he wears black boots with iron soles. He wears a white trench coat with another cross on it, this times black. His hair is grayish white and styled in a ponytail.

Personality: AJ has a fixed personality, he is serious and strict in battle but will also have a sense of humor to lighten up all the tense moments. Averagely he is a layed back calm kinda of guy, real outgoing. Even if you get on his nerves he will be willing to help you but if you really Piss him off your going to regret it, big time. So overall he's a layed back humorous yet strict and serious kind of guy.




AJ was having a major headache while following the others, it was so strange. To say the least. He felt like he was about to keel over, and then his Pokegear rang, he looked at it, a text from "?". AJ opened it.

Dear AJ.

Sorry, Just got a new PokeGear so that's why your thing has a ? mark on me, well anyway. I can't cover for you anymore, You need to come home. Immediatly, I phoned you the money needed. Come Home.

From, Ben.

AJ sighed and put away the Pokegear, " Time to head of... Bye guys!" AJ yelled running off to the dock. About half-way there he fell over completly and pushed his hands on his chest, Major... pain... alert. AJ thought to himself, If I was older, I could probally stay and I wouldn't get so worn out... was his last thoughts before passing out.

AJ heard people whispering... lots of them, he opened his eyes and looked at the people around him, " What am I doing on the ground? I need to... I need to.." AJ muttered to himself, oblivious to his new body, " Oh yeah! I'm supposed to get to work!" AJ grumbled running out, " where...Oh wait! I must've hit my head hard! It's Saturday." AJ said smiling as he walked off, " I geuss I'll go see whats on the market, might as well." he said running off and into an alley only to run into a younger kid. Maybe fourteen? He could probally pass for Fithteen." Watch where Your going, Kid!" AJ yelled at Tom.

OOC: Since im waiting for Random to advance the story where we find the black market I might as well ask a question.

Ash Jr. What kind of Twist are you planning? Since it seems cool that you are having two characters with the same name meet each other.

IC: to come later
 
OOC: You know that in exactly a month it will be April 1st? We need to make it April 1st before then. Random can you advance the plot by weeks after we find that wing? How about we need to walk all the way to Ecruteak?

IC:

Cain looked around. The alleyway was still really creepy. Cain then asked

"Okay, lets do this. We split up into 2 groups. Alpha team will go this way"

Then he pointed towards the end of the alley

"And Omega team will circle around and search around the area. Lets communicate via"

Cain then held up his Pokegear. Hoping that people would agree to his plan
 
OOC: As much as I too want to get to the date of complete transformation, I don't want this RP to be a rushed one. I want everyone to take time with their posts and mold the story, twist it, and expand it right until the date of complete transformation. However, I do believe this is dragging too slowly (as to when it started, it had flourished for a long while). After we find the secret that Kaki has the wing, I plan to do something that'll push us deeper and closer to April 1st. We'll be a month in, actually. Check the first post, way at the bottom for more details.

Why didn't I react fast enough? I didn't do anything; and I was supposed to be taking care of AJ! I just let him run off without adding in anything at all. What was I thinking at the moment? Well, now that I began to think of that, I don't really remember exactly what I was thinking at all. I was just sort of…not there.

AJ left; I didn't do a thing. I wasn't even moving to catch up after him. That was just completely stupid of me, but I still wasn't thinking clearly. I just sort of brushed it off.

Cain began to explain his plan of dividing; really, if there were to be a wing of some sort hidden and being sold within this place, I think it'd be in the place where almost everything is sold; indoors (because who would sell outdoors?).

I wanted to just say that; go for a building and start asking anyone. But, I kept it to myself. Perhaps it was because Ruya had already agreed to splitting up at the time Cain had thought up his idea. Maybe it was something else. I didn't think too much about it though; instead, I stayed quiet for a long moment, just looking forward.

I turned to Izzy for an answer; something that could help. She just shrugged. I was going to face someone else for an answer I wasn't looking for, but then a teen just crashed into me. I shook for a moment, then looked up.

"Watch where you're going, kid!"

Again, I was left silent. I didn't find anything within me good enough to answer this person. At a glance, I saw something very…familiar, yet…I couldn't put my finger on it.

I assumed I wouldn't have enough time to think about it though, so I just answered back with, "Sure, whatever."
 
A somewhat muted sigh, " I geuss it's not all your fault..." AJ muttered to the boy helping him up off the ground, he looked familiar in a faint kind of way, but he really couldn't think of that right now. " I was in a rush to veiw some things at the market, so I geuss I can't completly blame-" AJ stopped, he had just mentioned that he was going to illegaly buy stuff at the black market, and rule number one was to avoid bringing any "Outsiders" as they called it, could have connections with the police. " Umm... Nursery... Market. I need to pick up my date some.. Roses." AJ stuttered lamley, he shouldn't worry though considering this kid was probally completly clueless or even a space case.

" Well, just forget ever seeing me. Because... well just... Here's to help you forget" AJ Smiled pulling out a five and placing it in the boys hands, " Buy yourself something nice, Don't spend it all in one place and remember, you never saw me." AJ explained fastly to the teen making the teen close his hand on the five and extract it. " Well, gotta go" AJ said ready to run off.
 
Cain walked towards Tom and asked him "Who's he?"

Then all of the sudden he got an idea. Why would someone be walking around a deserted alley?"

"Tom I have an idea."

Cain pointed towards Ruya, Tom, Ziaku and Travis. The rest he said to circle around the place incase he might run away.

"Okay lets shadow him. But keep it quiet" Cain wispered
 
Travis stared. "There's something familiar about that guy's scent," he muttered, staring at the older male who had appeared seemingly out of nowhere, "But what...". Then, in a flash, he remembered what it was.
Flashback:
"Hey. You had better not think about saying you're with us. If you come on the cruise, you'll have to pay your way like any passenger who wants to go to Vermillion." Taking a deep breath, he added, "You smell like water. Did you just take a bath? And why the heck can't I recognize what you are? Everyone else smells like a Pokemon I've encountered at some point, but you have this bizarre scent. Ugh."

"No way... that is so bizarre..." Travis gasped in shock, before he turned to the group. "Guys... I think that person is AJ! He's aged somehow, but it's definitely him!"
 
AJ paled and stopped, " How'd you know... my, name?" AJ asked the slightly shorter male, "I've never met any of you before" AJ questioned picking them each out, two girls and four boys. All younger then me... AJ thought to himself backing up slightly, making sure not to stay close to the strange group.

" I'm really sorry... but I've really got to go!" AJ yelled taking off in a fast sprint, I'm glad that I ran track in high school, prepared me well... AJ thought to himself silently making a large amount of distant between him and the group of teens.

AJ reached an old fish warehouse, he knocked on the door and a small slit opened, two crimson red eyes appeared and a deep voice asked, " Password?" AJ smiled and bitterly replied "Kelceon". The door unlatched and opened to a mezmorizing site, Stands everywhere, Merchants and vendors everywhere. AK-47's, sawn off shotguns, Drugs and false IDs. AJ quickly moved into the gun area and admired the admirable Desert eagle, "Nice..." and then looked at the price tag, 900$ and sighed, " I am near broke..."

Wait, no I'm not! I got faxed money from someone. Thats wierd. AJ thought to himself as he quickly illegally purchased the gun.

"Hes getting away follow him". The older male was running away quite fast. But not fast enough. Tom it apeared was doing some sort of waddle between running. Travis was very good at running and Ziacu it apeared was hanging back.

"Okay lets follow him from here. This will be easy."

After running for 5 minutes the older male stopped and looked back. Cain ordered everyone to hide. When he walked away he started towards an old fish wherehouse
 
OOC: Ooh... I was typing this as Grim posted. I vote we use mine instead, however, as Grim has shamelessly bunnied Travis again. Shame on you Grim, for saying that Travis runs without my permission. Travis doesn't run until I say so!

"Hey! Get back here, you- you- pufferfish!" Travis spluttered as the older teen shot away. Travis shook his head and sighed. "AJ has miraculously aged somewhere around eight to ten years. I guess weirder things are happening. Now, what I want to know is why he doesn't remember us. That part was weird." Looking at the dust clouds the older AJ had left in his wake, it occured to him that with AJ's peculiar scent he could track him down no matter where he ran. On the other hand, this older AJ had no interest in the group, and running after him could lose them valuable time. Turning to the rest, he raised his eyebrow before asking "Well? Should we follow him? He doesn't seem to remember us, but he is still Tom's responsibility technically. On the other hand, I doubt he can lead us to the rainbow wing if he really is AJ... so, what do we do?"
 
OOC: I'm sorry to say, but I have to agree with ACC, Grim. Most likely, to my characters new feelings and such due to slight changes, he wouldn't run. Period. He would think about it for a moment, but not follow unless everyone else had already. Even then, he wouldn't run. I know you just want to make the RP flow faster, but you have to be patient. Plus, I have noticed your RP posts are very short. You need to extend them; it's against the rules to keep them so short. Try living up to your RP sign-up; that's why you got in. I can kick you out, but there is no reason yet, and I don't want to kick anyone out. The reason why I bunnied Kasedilla's character was because she said to while she was away. It was more of a reminder that she's still with us than a Bunny anyways.

So, yes ACC, we're going with your post.

AJ? Is that what Travis had just said? Was this really AJ? I thought about this, not saying anything as the older male found words within him to talk his way around us, and continued onward to his own business. I didn't do a thing; not a flinch, not a word.

That's when Travis began speaking again. I actually got a laugh out, or some sort of snort. I couldn't tell what it was. It was such a short moment, and now I asked Travis something that I thought was funny. "So you want to act as our hound?"

Then in a swift moment, my own mind seemed to slap myself, as I thought something that in my head felt like a scream. You idiot! That was AJ; chase him!

I just sort of blinked it away, but got myself together, and said what I probably should have started with instead of the hound crack. "AJ!" It wasn't good enough though; I doubt the man would turn around for his name again (if it were his name).

Travis was right; AJ was my responsibility. Whether it was or wasn't (in which I was thinking he wasn't), I had to follow this person just for the fact that he looked like AJ and the fact that Travis thought he smelt him as AJ. "Let's go," I said, but I wasn't the first to move the quickest. I did however, start walked, pretending to wait for everyone. Really, I wanted them to go before me.
 
(Oh gawd, guys... I'm sorry I was gone for so long. It won't happen again, I promise! Well, at least not if I can help it. D:

I'll start posting again once I get a summary of what I missed from RF. )
 
OOC: Oh come on, I barely bunnied your characters at all. I just said they ran after AJ which is usualy what they would do if they wanted to find the black market. Anyway my posts do meet the sufficiant limit since the limit is 4 lines and I do meet 4 lines on all my posts. But anyway I dont want to fight I want to roleplay

IC:

Cain started at a run. Aparently Tom started walking. Cain didnt need an excuse to start running. But once he started running he tripped entirely on his face.

Goddamnit not again

Cain got up and noticed that AJ got some good footing thanks to his handicap. Cain started running again but noticed he was running slower and slower.

What is going on?

Cain then stoped running since it would be useless and started walking at a slower pace.
 
Travis nodded as Tom asked him whether he wanted to serve as the group's "hound". Turning to Tom, he gave a quick nod before breathing in deeply, searching for AJ's unique scent. It was still quite fresh, and he caught it full in the nose as it wafted in from the alleyway. Opening his eyes, he allowed his mouth to slowly spread into a long grin before he dropped to his hands, feet still touching the ground, then launched forward like a coiled spring, leaving small clouds of dust behind him. He had hardly reached the end of the street, however, before a new scent filled his nose, mixed with AJ's. What the heck is that? Fish? he wondered, before he turned to look at the group. Tom was walking slowly forward, while Cain had begun to run, but as Travis watched, he slowed down, and changed his pace to a walk. Travis could almost smell the waves of confusion coming from him. What in Mew's name? I feel like I've been pumped with pure adrenaline, but it looks like Tom and Cain have had their energy sucked out! he pondered, slightly bemused by this turn of events.
 
Ruya felt annoyed and confused all at once. She had never gotten along very well with AJ, and some how this older "version" of him, or whatever the teen was, struck her as a perfect match. She remained silent through all of the conversation and decisions. At the moment she had no better idea than to follow him, though exactly why they were following him, she had no idea. Probably because he was Tom's charge and Tom had to make sure he didn't wet his bed.

The girl allowed a smirk before heading leisurely after Travis who was running in a rather odd way. She made no comment, however, as she had a jewel sticking out of her forehead. There were weirder things going on in the world.

After a while Travis slowed, apparently catching whiff of a new scent. Just for fun she took a sniff of the air and caught what she thought was the sea. Then again, this was Vermillion. Smelling ocean in a port city didn't mean you were developing an acute sense of smell. "Did you locate him?" she asked Travis, lengthening her stride to catch up with him.
 
AJ couldn't help it, he was drooling over the new Striker Shotgun they had gotten in, so cool. " Let's see, what can I afford" AJ mumbled to himself thinking about something that could entertain him, I already have the desert eagle though

AJ started over to the other stands that seemed to stand out, no pun intended. He saw a car dealer and decided ever since his car got trashed he needed a new one. Like mabye a motercycle? he thought to himself, More wishful thinking of course. He saw something out of the ordinary though. A feather? he thought seeing it, " Misty would love it, it's rainbowtastic" He mumbled going up to it, " Three hundred Bucks?! For a lousy feather?!" AJ asked the man after seeing the price, " It's special, one of a kind." the man replied slickly.

" I Don't care if it belonged to the Godamn pope! I'm not paying 300$ for a Feather!" AJ grumbled about to walk away. " Fine!" The man yelled " Ten bucks" he said to the teen.
" Fine" AJ said paying the man with ten crisp bills and walking away.

The man smiled, Little does he know that there worthless, just carbon copies of the real deal... I'll make millons.
