"If you have any loyalty at all to the late Hiranel, you'll cut the jokes and give that ring back to me." He says, sternly. "It was his last request to seal that thing away."

He snorts, and shakes his head. Looking around and not seeing any of the remaining legionaries, he turns to Jellia and Riven.

"They'll be back, 'fore long, looking for this." He says, holding up the ring. "And in force. C'mon, we have to get out of this city."

The three sprint down the street into the growing dusk, in the opposite direction of the thief, the sounds of battle now raging through the city. Their path is lit by crackling flame and stained with blood, and not one of them knows what will await them this night.

[Philote]

The mighty trio of of Hiram, Jellia, and Riven make their way through the city, having avoided disaster by thwarting the mighty legionaries and bringing down the mighty demon born of the ring they were charged to deliver. The water gate, now flowing gold as the magically melted remains of the city's treasure collects in the in the river that gives the water gate its purpose. Using this route, the trio avoids being hunted down by any more remaining rebellion forces. Leaving the city behind by passing through the gate, the ring is brought to Hiranel's family mausoleum to be sealed away and forgotten by history.

The source of the ring and the outcome of the rebellion is a story for another day.

Pokémon PrismClear

In the midst of tales across the Pokémon World, there is always ample action, adventure, intrigue and mystery. From the cunning psychic wiles of the dread Mewtwo and beloved Mew, to the high-flying adventures of Lugia and Ho-Oh; to the wide-roaming capers of Entei, Suicune and Raikou; to the charming exploits of Jirachi; to the intense battles between Rayquaza, Groudon and Kyogre; even unto the daunting conflict of Dialga and Palkia and the unrivaled power of Arceus--Pokémon have long been the protagonists, the biggest players within the course of the world, and all its history.

In this tale, though, thanks to the workings of a mysterious comet...humans take the world stage at the forefront! All across the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova and Kalos regions, a strange effect has taken hold. No longer do Pokémon hold the power. Instead, the powers of those in captivity have been transferred to their trainers, while the powers of those in the wild remain dormant, ripe and ready for the picking of any trainer who should catch them. Otherwise, Pokémon are left with just the barest physical defense.

And forces are rising fast to take advantage of how drastically the tides have turned. They were weak in the past, requiring Pokémon to carry out their dirty work. Now, though, ranks are growing to fierce new levels, and they will not be denied. So, with the looming threat of Team Rocket, Team Magma, Team Aqua and all the rest, a force for good must soon stand up and fight (starting in Kanto, and working over to Kalos), before all the Pokémon World is lost to the force of their might.

Before our stalwart young adventurers can take off and save the world, though, they must start by asking perhaps among the most important questions of all...

What is your name?

Are you a boy or a girl?

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Carmella Throat, Girl.

Lucia Waltz, Girl

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

A lone person stumbled through town. A young girl, barely 14 years old at most, moved with uncertain steps as she swayed back and forth in the crisp, clear night. He cloths were dirty, her neat brown jackets missing all its buttons, the hems of her long skirt muddy and torn, and she was missing her shoes. Her black hair twirled down in an uneven mess from under her large cap, and as she brought her hand to her head as she steadied herself against a wall a Crobat fluttered up and screeched at her, causing her to look up. The crobat pointed itself own the street, flying back and forth, and she nodded with understanding.

As she was walking along, any passerby's in the dark street would be able to hear her muttering. "Dirty parasites. If they didn't want my services they should have been on their way. Price gouging? I'd never. It's not my fault the value of a potion has gone up."

She rounded a corner and could see the bright lights of her destination. Open 24/7, ready to service all your pokemon needs. She broke out into a drunken run toward the light, threatening to fall on her face once or twice before collapsing against one of the walls of the Pokemart and sliding down to a sitting position. Reaching into her pocket and rooting around for what she managed to save, she noticed that the money came out bloody. Was that from her head? Did she have a concussion? Then she noticed something else: there wasn't enough. She didn't even have enough left for one potion.

She leaned back against the wall and wondered whether or not she could just sleep this off. No, no, you weren't supposed to sleep with a concussion. She would just have to stay awake until she could recover. She had the willpower. A she forced her drooping eyelids open Carmella Throat decided then and there that if she couldn't will herself to stay awake then she had no problem slipping into a coma or whatever. It would be more than she deserved for being so weak minded.

The crobat swooped down out of the sky, landing beside her and jamming its wing into her side. She grunted, and looked over in that direction. Across the road the shining lights of a pokemon center beckoned gently to all weary travelers to come and mend their wounds, have a hot meal, and perhaps rest a spell. Carmella found the strength to click her tongue.

"Saya, please. I would literally rather die."

[Philote]

A black gloved hand reaches down and snatches the bloody money out of the girl's grip. It was surprisingly easy to pilfer from people when they had had the life knocked out of them, but Coal supposed that his old habits from Team Rocket were also to blame. He casually leafs through the money and counts it up.

"You're short" he says dismissively and looking down on the girl. A floating husk circles around him.

"Its not good to get in debt with people like me" he adds, dropping a potion in the girl's lap. "Why don't you start paying it off by telling me who did this to you. Where they wearing a getup like mine?"

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

She stares up at him for a long moment, never blinking, studying every bit of him as she thought. She didn't like being in dept. Next to receiving charity it was the most revolting that that could possible happen. But dept could be repaid, while charity would stain her pride forever as a business owner. Any way you looked at this, it was a business transaction.

She wrapped her hand around the bottle, put the nozzle up to her neck, and pulled the trigger. The effects were instant, as bruises faded and cuts closed themselves up as it circulated in her system. Bless this freaky pokemon biology of hers.

She got up and stretched as the Crobat fluttered down and landed on her shoulder. Still pain, a cheap potion like that wasn't able to fix her everything, but she was at least not going to pass out. "One of them." she answered, not even bothering with names or thanks. "Short guy, glasses. Has this purple scarf. I didn't see his partners to well, they were fast."

She starts walking down the road, calling over her shoulder. "They stole a cart and a Tauros from me. I'm more concerned about the cart. If this is how Babrackus is going to act when the company is in danger I'm going to have to re-evaluate his employment."

[Marvelous Miscreant]

On the other side of town, several citizens grumbled to each other about the loud racket that was interfering with their day. As they yelled back and forth to each other trying to communicate over the noise, the loud rumbling sound continued.

"What is that awful racket?", one shouted.

"Is there construction nearby? I wasn't told there would be construction!" another added.

"I've never heard such a loud, disruptive noise before. Where is it coming from?" a third yelled

The citizens continued arguing as the sound rumbled on. Nearby, in a less traveled alley, the source of the noise rested in a rather unruly heap. Lucia Waltz and her Pokemon had never been quiet sleepers. Anyone who cared to investigate their awful snoring would have been greeted by a wholly ridiculous display of laziness and sloth. Slumped in the alley, partially again the wall of an adjacent building was a large Snorlax, whose discordant snores were only half of the horrendous noise.

Sprawled out on the Snorlax's stomach was Lucia. She was dressed in a dark, dirty tank top over a darker and even dirtier t-shirt. She wore lose fitting beige pants and a pair of tattered running shoes. Her chin was resting on the back of a Slowpoke, who was drooling profusely. Finally, curled up in the groove of Lucia's back was a small Slakoth.

The four had fallen asleep there after stumbling into the town the night before and hadn't moved since.

[Philote]

Coal jogs to make sure she doesn't get away from him. "That sounds like Scott Remington" he says grabbing her shoulder. "Do you understand me? Scott Remington. If I can't get your Tauros back within the hour then you need to run to the nearest Officer Jenny and tell her that's the man that took your stuff. I'm not letting him get away with any more thefts in this town. Now, take me to where you got robbed so I can get on his trail."

(I'm hoping that Babrackus is not the same person as the purple scarf guy if I understood you correctly.)

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

She stops and looks at him as though he's just suggested she go stick her head in a Vileplume and breath deep. "Yeah, sure, let me just go cry to state and beg them to make it all better. Then, after they get done stomping on my rights, billing me for services I don't use, and telling me what I can and can not sell they can put me in my pokeball and become champion on the back of my work!"

The last bit echoes loudly through the streets. He shakes her head, and the intensity leaves her eyes as though she were shaking off some feverish madness. "No, this is my property. My cart. My Tauros. My shoes." She stamps her foot. "I'll deal with this personally, thank you very much. You can come with me, if you like. I can pay, once I get my goods back."

She starts walking again. "I was attacked back along the Route. They made off this way, toward this city."

[Philote]

Coal rubs his temples as he keeps up with the girl. So, he was dealing with one of Those people. The ones that made him feel like he should of just stayed with Rocket to begin with.

"How long ago was it that you were attacked? Do you know what they were targeting that you had in your cart?"

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

"How am I supposed to know how the criminal mind works? An hour ago I'm minding my own business, just getting to where I can see the city lights, when all of a sudden this thuggish little man stumbles out of the trees and waves me down asking for a ride and some medicine. We were in the process of haggling when his cronies jump me."

She thinks deeply for a moment, doing inventory in her head. "There was nothing of particular value on my cart. Food, drink, medicine, pokeballs, things people are likely to run out of on the road. A few elemental stones I'd found. Some pokemon, you always have little kids who want one but can't get up the courage to go out and catch one themselves, but nothing rare."

[Philote]

"They must be getting desperate for some cash. I've hit some of their main operations over the last couple weeks but I didn't know I had them so far on the ropes. If we can get your cart back, we just might prevent them from getting back on their feet at all."

Coal breaks off what he is saying as he followers the girl back to where she was mugged and holds up a hand for her to be quiet for a moment. "Wait a moment" he says in a lowered voice "Do you hear that racket? Something strange is going on."

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Carmella cups her ears, which elongate somewhat and take on a purple tinge. She closes her eyes a listens.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Lucia's horrendous snoring sputters and silences. Slowly she opens her eyes and groggily yawns. Carefully she slides the Slakoth off her back and on to the Snolax's stomach. She watches them for a moment, completely deaf to their snores, and smiles.

"Aww, ain't that cute. You boys sleep. I'll go grab breakfast."

Lucia lazily stumbles out of the alley and glances around. She spots something down the street. Her eyes widen.

"Shit, it's one of those criminal team dudes! Team Rocket" She shouts a little too loudly before sprinting back to her pokemon.

"Wake p guys, Wake Up! We got trouble...let's roll! C'mon! Wake UP!"
