The crisp air of the Shadow Factory here was tinged with a nostril burning spice. To Solaire, it smelled like a soul forge, where the will of creatures were being smothered to dust and grime, replaced with power beyond their own limits. Briefed and primed, Solaire was given the details showed from each participating member of the group. It seemed like a solid team! With him at the front, there was no way he could fail! The solar warrior had already dispatched the goons at the gate, the two Rainbow Rocket Grunts and their team all trophified with a bit of solar lightning crackling in the residue near the entrance to this place. The solar warrior had prepared for this day, taking hours to sharpen his blade and prepare his miracles for use. After all, he was going to be the healer and leader! He had to be charismatic and strong. He was kneeling now, sending a prayer to his god...

"Lord Gwyn, guardian of sunlight and father of fire. Bless my partners, and guide my sword through this journey. I pray to thee, give us all strength."

Pokemon Trainer Landon followed the directions given to him as accurately as he could, for fear of getting lost. Landon was firmly against coming to the Black Market, being fully aware of the kind of criminals one might expect to find there. Still, he knew that his job required entering the Black Market, so this was a special exception. He knew he still had to protect himself, to avoid any trouble with local residents. For that reason, he kept his Houndoom by his side as soon as he entered the wretched hive. 

Nearing the entrance to the Shadow Factory, he saw a man clad in armor typical of a knight. He had apparently started a bit early, having defeated two grunts already. Landon knew Team Rocket, a criminal organization that he had worked under until its disbanding. However, he knew very little of Team Rainbow Rocket, despite its many similarities to Team Rocket. They seemed to have similar names, similar uniforms, and both used Pokemon native to Kanto. If the two organizations were so similar, Landon's knowledge of Team Rocket could be useful after all.

Once he got close to the praying knight, he attempted to call out to him, in order to get his attention.

"Hello? My name is Landon. I'm here for the mission." He said, his hands resting in his coat pockets. He then pat his Houndoom on the head, before returning it to its Pokeball.

Sadie arrived at the black market for her mission. She knew that going in here could get her into trouble and she wouldn't usually go into these kinds of dangerous places. Although if Barkley was here he would of ventured into the market and would have dragged Sally and Gary with him. But Sadie was the one here and her inner Barkley told her to head forward to find Solaire

"I better remain hidden in case someone notices me from somewhere else. I hope the Dean's Dolls aren't here." Sadie hoped as she took out a cloak and put it around her before covering her face as she walked into the black market. Passing by numerous markets and suspicious looking people, until she finally arrived at the gate. Where Langdon and Solaire was waiting. "Hi i'm here for the mission!" Sadie waved awkwardly towards the two men, before accidentally opening up the cloak she was wearing and watching it fly away.

"Uh oh." Sadie was slightly embarrassed because now she revealed herself to her party. Well it was about time that she did that anyway, so she bowed down to the two. "I'm Sadie DeeK, i'm here for the mission." Sadie introduced herself before looking at the enemies that have already been trophified.

"Wait, did you already attack some of them?" Sadie asked Solaire..

"Won't the other members of Team Raibow Rocket figure out that they're guards at the front gate have suddenly become quiet?"

Pokemon... The creatures were an unfamiliar concept to Linne, and yet ironically, they reminded her a lot of In-Births and Void creatures. All the same species, and yet they each contain different powers. Which is why the concept of forcibly transforming Sun type Pokemon into Shadow type Pokemon bothered her so much that she was willing to take on this mission. One doesn't take up such a goal without there being some form of sinister objective. It must have sucked for the Black Market though, they got to put up with the massive gust of wind as she rushed through towards the gate of the Shadow Factory.

She came to an abrupt stop in front of the gathered group, hands in her pockets.

"If we're going in, let's go in quickly. Solaire-san has caused quite the commotion out here, and they'll be ready for us to storm the factory."

[Deleted]

"Sir Landon, how fortuitous you've arrived."

Solaire rose to his feet to greet the well built man and his quite ferocious looking beast. Quite the team they were! The Houndoom, of which Solaire assumed was some sort of generic beast from his world, was standing tall, those four legs parted enough to puff that chest and widen the stance of the doom creature. Obviously, to Solaire at least, this creature was trained to attack and fight whatever was beyond this point. Landon's stoic expression, dark clothes, and unfazed expression were clearly that of a trained warrior. Now onto the next newcomer.

"Lady Sadie! Right you are, the mission is here, and we will save the solar Pokemon!"

Solaire raised his blade high, giving a small bit of a chuckle afterwards and rubbing his neck a bit with his free hand. Seemed even he knew that hew as a bit excited. Sadie's hat and weapon of choice reminded him of the chaos witches from days passed, or perhaps it was the almost clandestine robes that were rarely worn outside of heretical covens. Regardless, she was an ally and friend like any other. Solaire was happy to have her here. Finally, the last of the three showed that he'd asked for.

"You must be Lady Linne. Very well, we're all here...! FORWARD!"

The sunlight warrior would charge into the barred door, attempting to tear the very thing off its hinges.

V0|n8v1Ip_1d20+1(BLAM! There goes the door.)

As Solaire's shielded bash came through, the door fell right off the hinges, bar and all behind it, showing the Team Rainbow Rocket Grunts behind the door, pokeballs already in hand as they sent out their first of many creatures the team would need to fight. It looked like they were sending two each, with four pokemon to duke it out with! "You're not getting the Solrocks you sunny punk!" "Yeah, back off!"

Two Golbats are sent out! Each has 30% Health.
As well as two Arboks! Each has 45% Health.

p_1d2(Ally team takes the initiative! Enemies will attack after everyone goes!)

Solaire would double back at the sudden flashes of light, shielding his eyes behind his bulwark of a parma, before reaching onto his hip, and raising that talisman high. It seemed to be torn from the same cloth as his clothing, woven by a feather and string. He put his palms out, tucking that into his iron bracelets, and raised his arms high. The washing light over the team pulsed vibrantly...

p_1d20+2(Solar Salute is a striking success! All allies have any negative effects purged and you all gain a buff!)
Everyone gets -5% damage taken for the next three turns, and everyone deals 3% extra damage!

"Praise the sun, for it gives us a boon! Now! Let's fight! Have at me, demon bat!"

Solaire would ready his blade, charging forward at the left most Golbat, attempting to take a nasty cleave out of it with his straight sword.

(Solaire swings three times with his Rightful Slash dealing 10% each! OUCH! That second hit is a critical dealing 15%!)
p_1d20p_1d20p_1d20
(Golbat crit dodges the first swing, but OOF! The two other attacks land with staggering force! Golbat takes 25% damage.)

The first swing that bat had moved around his cutting edge swiftly, before Solaire followed it up much to the beast's surprise, cleaving right into the bat's jaws and mouth, causing the Golbat to close its jaws, only to receive the third hit, a sword thrust, right into the thing's face! The three slashes and raised stance of the knight were drawing the ire of the other creatures, though the team's fast assault was staggering. Backing up and bracing his shield, Solaire prepared to parry an incoming blow from these creatures, shielding his body. 

(Parry primed, if Solaire is hit by a melee attack next turn, 2 d10s are rolled to parry the attack.)

"Come at me, beastmasters! I shall strike thee down in the name of Lord Gwyn!"

Soon after he arrived, the party was assembled. Landon took note of the appearances of his team members. Aside from the knight, who seemed to take a moment to admire his Houndoom for some odd reason, there was a witch girl with a stereotypical Witch Hat, and a small girl in an orange hoodie. It was likely that nobody else in the party had much knowledge of Pokemon, but that wasn't a problem. All they needed to do was go in, rescue the captured Solrocks, and get out.

The knight seemed to be on the same page, as he decided to bust open the entrance to the factory as soon as the everyone arrived. Behind the door awaited their first challenge: Two Rainbow Rocket Grunts. Knowing a fight would break out, Landon quickly reached into his coat, pulling out one of his three Pokemon.

"Go! Kabutops!"

From his first Pokeball came a 4 foot, bipedal shellfish. Though its appearance was a bit unsettling, it was a fairly well behaved Pokemon, trained to obey its master's commands to a tee. As such, upon entering the battlefield, the Kabutops waited for Landon's first order. That first order came quickly, as Landon found a good opportunity to attack after Solaire's first series of blade slashes.

"Kabutops! Use scratch on the weakened Golbat!"

Kabutops, upon hearing the instruction, dived into battle, delivering painful scratches with its sharp, scythe-like claws.

Sadie smiled at everyone who had made it to the mission. "Nice to meet you all. I'm excited to try this mission since it's one of the first few missions that i'm joining!" Sadie revealed as she took out her staff. "Don't worry though, i'll make sure not to slow down or anything. If we try our best and not run into any suspicious areas we can easily finish this mission without an---And just like that Solaire charged into the base, breaking things in the process and causing him to run afoul with two of the grunts.

"Or we can start fighting now, i'm in the mood to blast enemies anyway!" Sadie rushed to join up with Solaire as she looked at the two arboks. "I'll deal with the snakes. Seeing as how those bats are almost down thanks to you Solaire." Sadie looked at the two arboks and began to charge up her shooting star spell to begin the battle between the two pokemons.

"If I can get this spell right. One of the snakes will be defeated in less then a few seconds." Sadie told her group as she began to fire the spell.

Upon her arrival, chaos erupted. She should have expected this from the knight, honestly. People like him tend to rush into the maw of danger like it's an amusement park. It can be an admirable trait, but it can also be an absolutely moronic idea. As the door flew off its hinges and she felt her strength grow slightly, she had a feeling this would be a very Waldstein esque rush. Brutal, without mercy, and unstoppable. Now if only the man himself was here, she could indulge in listening to him scream about how these 'trainers' as she believed they were called weren't true warriors. 

She observed the battle in between the two parties briefly, watching as the beasts were quickly dispatched with, before throwing her own lot into the fray. She dashed towards the second Gulbat to start off with, No Name and Nameless in hand. The first step was to end it with Tenacious Mist.

83k4LKy_p_1d20+1 (20% to Golbat B.)

"Mujin!"

Nameless struck out, five slashes ready to pierce the bat's skin and slam it into the wall, before she rushed over towards the second Arbok, throwing out a quick Sky Fang to stun it first.

p_1d20+1(4% projectile to Arbok B.)

"Kuuga!"

The projectile rushed out, as she dashed under, before unleashing a quick series of attacks, Moon Gyre into another stab.

"Getsurin!"

p_1d20+1 (Moon Gyre. 8% damage to Arbok B.

p_1d20+1 (Nameless stab. 5% damage to Arbok B.)

That done she dropped back to the ground, and unleashed a final slash with No Name.
