The dunes of the Agon Wastes expanded for what seemed like miles apart from each other. Ray 01 had of course provided them with an accurate amount of traveling gear should they need it, the basic stuff like food and supplies although limited due to the famine in this cruel world however there was a surprising abundance now thanks to their local farmers. Either way if they didn't have a way to proceed to the designated area Ray 01 would provide them with a few air scooters curtesy of the police headquarters. 

This would be an opportune time to make introductions if they haven't been made already of course, on the ever expanding desert they would be able to see quite a few rocky outcrops, perfect hiding spots for a criminal organization to hide in. Now they would begin their search and rescue mission as soon as possible. Their were many paths to look toward but the most likely path to travel would be toward the rocky outcrops to search for caves which might hide their culprits and the Pokemon trapped inside.

[Lady Platinum Berlitz]

The noble girl was riding towards the co-ordinates atop her Rapidash. The Pokemon was her most comfortable and used mode of transportation raised by her family to be a steed to Berlitz Family members. The high pedigree Pokemon's flames thankfully were controlled enough to make this barren land not that much less bearable. Shaymin was just resting on Platinum's Hat as she checked her Poketch.

"... Alright, this should be close enough to the meeting point. Thanks, Rapidash," Platinum said as she hopped off her Pokemon and recalled it. She needed Rapidash to get back to the Life Sphere in a timely fashion she he would not be participating... Plus odds are they would be in confined quarters so this seemed like a good time to bring out... "Go, Froslass!" she declared calling out the Ghost Type from it's Pokeball. "I need you to keep an eye out for any caverns that might have Pokemon being hid there, alright?" Platinum requested to which the ghost type nodded in understanding.

"... We here already? Could you tell Rapidash to not be so bumpy next time?" Shaymin yawned as she spoke telepathically and stretched. "I'll see what I can do. Good not to expect much though. You could just ride in your ball next time if it bothers you that much you know..."

"No thanks... So when the others getting here? Those Pokemon aren't gonna wait all day. Anyone you know?" Shaymin shook her head as she just laid back down and sprawled on Berlitz' cap. "Hm..." Platinum checked her Poketch for a moment to see what the mission report said. "... Nope, none of them. I should be able to tell the difference when they get here though..." She replied. "... If you say so..." Land shrugged before closing her eyes to nap again until they get here.

[Misty]

Platinum would hear a serpentine hissing roar from the sky as one of the most frightening pokemon you could ever see coming for you soared through the air in her general direction! It swooped low, a gust of wind blowing past in its wake as it slowed and circled to a stop. Another girl dropped from the gyarados onto the ground with a soft grunt, standing back up and smiling brightly. “...Hey! Are you here for the mission? You don't look like a scary spirit, so I figured you must either be a teammate or someone in need of rescue.” Misty greeted and mused aloud, her gyarados just kinda hovering over her, staring down at the tinies idly.

The wastelands suffered some winds blowing the vast dust across the field. This sandstorm would be something one would have to take cover until it settles, or at least wear attire built to protect you from the sand. Case in point, one person walked through the winds, protected in a cloak, though still shadowed within the sands. Yet it was like this person had been through the sands plenty of times. The fierce dusty winds did not slow him down, but he kept his hood over his face. What kind of attire he had to help him face the nature of the wastelands?

SQUEE!!!

Something...very silly, apparently...

And it's our young trainer, Ash Ketchum, who removed his Pikachu hood. "Hi, Misty! I'm glad that you're here!" he greeted, probably unintentionally embarrassing her by being someone she knows who wears silly attire.

Pikachu poked out of his hood, waving to the red-head. "Pika!!"

Ash then glanced at Platina. "Hi there, I'm Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town."

Narrowing his eyes a bit in curiosity at her, "Uh...have we met before?"

[Gold]

"...Man this place sucks. Why'd I even bring my skateboard??" a boy's voice casually asked someone yet unseen and unheard, followed by a couple of coughs, no doubt from having accidentally inhaled a bit of drifting sand. Crossing the tip of a dune, Gold caught sight of the others and stopped for a moment before lunging forth, the dune sand collapsing under his feet such that he appeared to surf down the side of it. As he came to a stop, he kept watching at a casual pace, raising a hand to greet the group. "Yo! How's it going, ladies?" he greeted everyone with a grin. "Hope I didn't keep you waiting. The name's Gold, and I'll be treating you all to the Gold Standard in mission performance." he said, pointing his thumb back at himself

[Silver]

"...For looks?" Silver replied in mild annoyance to Gold's question. Why did he bring his skateboard anywhere?? Was he expecting there to be a skate park out here in the wilderness?? As Gold did his introductions, Silver stepped up onto the top of the Dune and looked down upon the group with a hand on his hips, declining to introduce himself. He just stood there atop the dune and rolled his eyes at Gold, waiting to see what they intended to do now that they'd found each other.

As the trainers meet up with the others for the rescue mission they would notice that they were not alone out here despite being in a desert like region. Cries of a Pokemon could be heard, what kind that were crying for help may not be able to be determined. Well unless they had their pokedex with them. As for what direction it was coming from may also be a mystery. Those who want to find out where they heard the cry please roll a wisdom check.

(DC to find out what direction it is coming from is a 12. If you use your Pokedex you will find that the cry is that of a Cacnea. It sounds like it is trying to get away from something but what? Find out soon when you get there.)



Only after a successful wisdom check you will find that the cry leads East of your current position. When you get there you will find the Cacnea running its little legs off as it is being chased by a machine of some sort piloted by a man in a strange white uniform. "Get back here you little runt!" the man shouted at the Cacnea before launching a grappling hook at the pokemon.

If any Trainers see this and want to help the Cacnea they need to send out one of their pokemon to attack the machine or the hook directly. The machine upon closer inspection looks like a black and red Ariados but it's fully a machine and from the top of it is riding the white uniformed man.




DC to hit the Spider Mech is 13. It has 150 HP.

It doesn't notice you right now but if you attack then he will turn his attention toward you all. However you do know that this might be one of the organization members that you are trying to stop and you can guess they are trying to capture this Cacnea for whatever nefarious purposes they are going to do with it.

[Misty]

Misty's eyes lit up with a keen interest both at the sound of a familiar voice and at the sight of that pikachu hoody. Oh man, Ash had no idea what he signed up for showing up wearing that thing. A soft gasp escaped her and she approached Ash with stars in her eyes, kinda tuning out the others for a brief moment. He could kinda see her eyeing the ears of the hoodie. “Ash!! That hoodie is so cyuute!! ...Did your mom buy it for you?” Misty gushed before questioning somewhat incredulously, reaching up to mess with the ears of the hoodie a little in a curious manner, standing up on her tippy toes to reach better and attempting to flop them around. Mission? What mission. She had her new mission right in the palms of her hands.

Okay, that red-haired boy...something about him felt familiar. He knew he never met him before, but he knew he met someone like him. At the very least, he doesn't seem as cruel and heartless as Cross...and Damian, both trainers who abandoned Charmander in both timelines. And as for that other kid...nah, he never met him before. But... "Huh? Uh, I'm a guy. What are-"

2Lso36W0p_1d20-1 (WIS check)

"AAGH! Misty! Quit iiiiiit!" he whined, feeling so embarrassed that she's treating him like some little kid in front of everyone. Like he needs those two boys to make fun of him. He gets enough of that in Pallet Town...or sometimes Brock and Misty. But this won't stop him from checking out a new Pokémon.

Cacnea
Species: Cactus Pokémon
Type: Grass
Stage: Basic
Abilities: Sand Veil

Cacnea, the Cactus Pokémon. Cacnea lives primarily in dry desert areas, and attacks by swinging its pin-covered arms like hammers. It releases a strong aroma from its flower to attract prey. When prey comes near, this Pokémon shoots sharp thorns from its body to bring the victim down.

Removing his cloak, just to get Misty off him, "Hey, leave that Pokémon alone, you jerks!" Taking out a Pokéball from his belt, "Charmander, I choose you!" He tossed it toward the robot...

BON!!

"Chaaa!!" Blasting out of the ball was a little fire-tailed lizard. Landing on the ground, the reptile wasted no time rushing at the robot.

"Go, Charmander! Use Bite!!"

"CHA!!" Leaping at the robot, Charmander aimed his little teeth at its head.

Bite: [Medium STR DMG 15%] Charmander bites the foe. This has a 10% chance of stunning the foe for one turn. 1-turn cooldown

p_1d20+1
p_1d100 (Stun check: Failed)

"Yes!" Charmander's bite was enough to rip through its metal hide. Rather small holes, but it's a start. "Now use Flamethrower!"

"Mander!" Inhaling lots of air, Charmander let it loose as a massive blast fire, which also catapulted him off the robot.

Flamethrower: [Heavy WIS DMG 22%] The target is scorched with an intense blast of fire. This may also leave the target with a burn. Charizard roasts a target with scorching flames. This attack has a 5% chance of causing a burn. This attack has a 2 turn cool down.

[Lady Platinum Berlitz]

The Frosslass and Platinum turn to see a Gyrados fly in. She primed a battle stance just in case until she saw the girl proper... She feels like she saw her somewhere before... "Yep! We're here to do the rescuing," Platinum nodded in assurance then some guy with a Pikachu hoodie came in and evoked an... appropriate reaction from what to be his friend. She held her hands in front of her at the gesture with a bright smile. "Hm?" Platinum tilted her head at the idea Ash met her before. "No, I don't think so. I'm Lady Platinum Berlitz of the Berlitz house," she introduced herself.

Just then there was a Pokemon cry from somewhere. She had trouble telling where but pulled out her Dex to try and get a clue. Her Froslass grabbed her attention though before flying in the direction of the sound. Shaymin perked up a bit as they ran... not because of the movement but because of Ash. She feels like she met him somewhere before... Nah, impossible... But she did know one thing. She had an instinctive desire to be mean to him.

_pYEiTfBp_1d20-1(Platinum couldn't tell.. But...)

p_1d20+5(Froslass can find it... barely)

"That's a strange machine... Frosslass! Hit it's legs with a Frost Breath followed by a Shadow Ball!" Platinum declared to her Pokemon as it hovered through the air and did a twirl before unleashing a frigid breath on the machine before forming Shadow energy and throwing it at the leg.

p_1d20+5(Frost Breath, 16%)
p_1d20+5(Shadow Ball, 18%)

"Now, hit the machine full force with a Blizzard!" she declared to which the Froslass gave an affirmitive cry as it held it's hands otu and fired a frigid gale at the mech in an attempt to freeze it solid.

p_1d20+5(Critical Blizzard, Deals 30 damage with a 30% chance to Freeze)
p_1d20+5(Crit Confirm for another 30 damage and a 100% chance to Freeze)

"... I bet his mom did buy it for him. He's not denying it~" Shaymin spoke up during the battle. "... Shaymin, is it really the time for this?" Platinum asked incredulously. "... Why? Not my turn."

[Gold]

...Man, Gold wasn't sure whether to feel sorry for Ash or take notes. ...Both. Definitely both. He makes a mental note to hire someone to make a pichu hoodie matching Pibu later and see what kinds of reactions he could get out of it. Speaking of Pibu though, it was time to show off. He produced Pibu's pokeball, fixed his hat, and tossed it. "Alright Pibu, finish it off with a volt tackle!" Gold commanded.


Pictured: Pibu

Pibu emerged from his ball mid-lunge and began picking up speed, chaotic bursts of electricity shooting off from his body and enveloping him in an aura of electricity. He then ran right into the spider bot, electrocuting it and short-circuiting it

[Silver]

Silver watched the going on, not commenting on any of it until all the other people rushing off to battle caught his attention, drawing him to look over and see what they were fighting. While he wasn't fast enough to intervene in the fight with the robot before Gold defeated it, he did take notice of the enemy training remaining on their feet. "...Weavile, teach this fool a lesson." Silver ordered in annoyance, as if the mere act of wasting his time dealing with the enemy trainer insulted him. Weavile rushed out to meet the seemingly defensive mook, dashing circles around him to cut off his escape and eschaling a gust of icy wind at him to chill him to the bone and freeze his feet where they were.

747ID7PHp_1d20+3 (Weavile's Icy Wind at the organization mook for 6% damage and a 100% chance of causing the slow status. It's a physical version of slow, so it uses constitution for its duration instead of intelligence)

Once the man was rendered vulnerable, Weavile then dashed in and feigned an attack at his legs before lunging up and attempting to rake his cheek with his claws instead.

p_1d20+5 (Weavile's Feint Attack on the organization mook for 16 damage)
