[ORP] The Truth Is Out There

[Chibi_Kokoro143]

[ Lexxie- Area 2, KEEPING the Ponyta ]

Lexxie was looking around the area when a Ponyta appeared in front of her, As soon as Lexxie stopped to check if the ponyta was uninjured, she realized how heavy this pokemon on her back is.

Shifting around so that the pokemon wont slide off, she held the her hand out towards the ponyta while holding on the pokemon with one hand.

"Hey there. Don't be frighten," her breathing came out as a wheeze on the last syllable. Trying to catch her breath, she said. "Are you injured...? Do..do you think you can help me out?"

And in all honesty, she didn't. She had no land transportation pokemon on her at the moment, so she needs all the help she can get right about now.

[Aulus: AREA 2: Oh gross. Taking the goo. Still booby prizes please.]

What was that? Ugh, and he'd nearly stepped in it too. Aulus hunkered down to take a picture of the... stuff? He then twisted his right wrist and, after ensuring nobody was looking at him, slid the cover aside again to take a scan of the goop. He then took his water bottle out of the side of his backpack, drank as much as he could, poured the rest away onto the sand and finally used his metal fingers to scoop all the slimy stuff into the bottle, unavoidably along with some sand too.

After sealing the bottle carefully Aulus tucked it back into its place in his bag and straightened up as his arm buzzed at him; it wasn't an analysis of his goo yet but it was something, instruction to find samples. His response was quick and to the point; already have one, will seek more, and also have unknown goo, waiting for analysis.

[TawnyAngel]

[Zev, area 3, not taking Beldum: really just looking for battles, or weird stuff]

Ah-ha, something else to battle! "Alright, Amigo, Tackle it! And Vision..." Damn what was it called? "Ah, Feint Attack!" The pair of small pokemon happily launched themselves at the hovering one-eyed thing, it held up longer under the assault than the slime-thing had and got in a couple of attacks itself too but before too long it was sent wavering and wobbling away.

"Aww, you look a bit tired Amigo," Zevran said with a sympathetic smile for the rather bashed Caterpie as he stooped to scoop him up and deposit him on his shoulders. "You did well there though, you will evolve in no time I am sure! And you too Vision, but bugs are faster Taavi said." He was not going to question the wisdom of a man who could list off the name of each of the many hundred pokemon known to exist in the order they appeared in a standard pokedex.

Booby Prize!

You found some small metallic stones!  

[TawnyAngel]

[Aulus: AREA 2: Moving to Area 1]

Update to e-drop; Grimer goop.

Well it might have been something but he wished he'd waited for analysis before dumping his water. Oh well, better to have grabbed something potentially interesting than to risk... somebody else getting it? It coming to life and attacking him? Whatever.

Aulus shook his head at himself and whistled to Red, who stopped preening, hopped down from the rock and over to him to allow him to climb onto her back. As she took took to the sky Aulus fetched out his phone again to take pictures of the site from above, it was spread over he guessed and couple of miles and....

Alright, big eff off crater right there but nothing in the middle of it? Aulus tapped Red's shoulder and pointed. "Take us down!"  

[TawnyAngel]

[Zev: Area 3: Shiny! Taking the stones!]

Seen as this place seemed to be crawling with pokemon to battle Zevran released Copper and Stardust from their pokeballs and instructed the two eeveeloutions and Vision to fan out to look for potential opponents.

When Copper started yipping sharply he at first assumed that the Jolteon had done just that but no, the yellow pokemon was just prancing around something he'd found on the ground. "What is it?" Zevran called as he walked over; Copper chattered away unintelligibly some more and wiggled his rear in the air.

Zevran came to a halt in front of his pokemon and looked down. He raised his eyebrows. "Shiny stones. Really? Well, we shall take them with us eh? If you like them so much." The Jolteon barked happily and Zevran stooped to pick them up and slip them into his pocket.

[Aulus: Area 1: Seeking booby prizes]

Red landed lightly near the centre of the crater and Aulus slid quickly to the ground, where he turned in a slow circle studying his immediate surroundings. Whatever had landed here must have been many times the size of the meteorite he had been beside a couple of minutes ago so where the hell was it? It would have taken a hell of an operation to move it.

Frowning to himself Aulus released Juno from her pokeball and gave her a companionable slap on the carapace. "Do me a favour, fly up and see if you spot any vehicle tracks? I wasn't really looking for them when Red and I came down." He suspected they'd've stood out, anything capable of shifting what must have been here, but it was worth getting Juno to look anyway.

<> the pink Heracross agreed, unfurling her wings and buzzing up into the air to start a circuit of the crater.

Aulus meanwhile hunkered down to study the ground under his feet more closely, the damn great thing couldn't just have vanished! This being the case, and if there were not gigantic tracks to be spotted, then what had removed it? Perhaps a psychic or electric type with great power could have managed it - seriously great - but why and where would it or they have taken it?  

[Chibi_Kokoro143]

[ Lexxie- AREA 2 ]

Lexxie was happy that the Ponyta agreed to come along with her. With that, she placed the marowak across the back and secured it safely. "Alrighty, let's look around for more injured pokemon, if there is any and head over to the next area."

Lexxie made her way to the other side, finally able to move quickly and swiftly.

On the other hand, Makoto and Kira made their way around the meteor, ready to give aid.

In Area 3:

A very angry pokémon popped out! It's a normal Joltik!



In Area 1:

Booby Prize!

You've found a large blackened screw!

Vehicle tracks were indeed visible from the air, all seemed to be associated with the various vehicles people had used to bring groups out to sight-see and investigate...  

[Gwennythe]

Chibi_Kokoro143

An extremely angry, but uninjured, pokémon popped out! It's a normal Scraggy!  

[TawnyAngel]

[Area 1: Aulus: Screw it. Seeking anything in this area]

Aulus poked thoughtfully at a large screw on the ground. After a moment he shrugged and pocketed it because what the hell, he was already carrying a bottle of Grimer slime with him so why not pick up all the random s**t he encountered?

At that moment Juno buzzed back in and landed heavily. <>

Not that, then. "Yes, it eliminates something anyway," Aulus replied as he messaged the e-drop again; no meteorite in the primary crater, no sign of a vehicle large enough to have removed it. As many electric types were noted by the smaller meteorite were more drawn to the larger one? If so did they - by group effort or the power of an extraordinary individual - move it elsewhere? If so where and why? Continuing to search the area.

With message sent and promise made Aulus released the rest of his pokemon; Thanatos, Tortie, Char, and relatively new acquisition Aperture. "Alright you lot I want you to search the area for anything out of the ordinary, suffice to say something strange is going on here. We're missing a massive meteorite made partially out of an unknown substance so be careful. If you see, hear, smell, or otherwise sense anything call me over, got it?" They had; Aulus nodded in satisfaction. "Good."

As the team fanned out Aulus took a direction of his own, keeping his own pretty pathetic senses trained for anything that might be notable.

TawnyAngel

Booby Prize!

You found a pair of partially melted sunglasses!  

[TawnyAngel]

[Area 1: Aulus: Seeking anything in this area]

A rumble from Char brought Aulus jogging over to find- "Melted?" Once he had taken a picture he reached out to pick the sunglasses up with his metal fingers and turned them this way and that thoughtfully. "What happened? What happened to whoever owned them? Just another red herring? What the heck am I even being herringed away from?"

Still holding the Dalíesque shades Aulus straightened, patted Char on the shoulder, and returned to his own search area.  

[TawnyAngel]

[Zev: Area 3: Not taking Joltik]

"Gah!" Zevran gasped as his muscles seized and his legs buckled as the signals from his brain were interrupted. It was a couple of moments before he could move again and by the time he could his pokemon were driving off a tiny, angry yellow thing. "What was that?" Zevran asked, as though he would get an answer. Groaning and cursing he climbed back to his feet and stretched his complaining muscles. "Was that thing trying to train against us? Unwise!"  

[Gwennythe]

TawnyAngel

An incredibly angry pokémon popped out! It's a furious normal Plusle!
