A reminder: If you want to ask an RP thread creator if you can join their RP, do so in private - via conversation or profile messages - or via the thread's discussion thread, if one exists. Do NOT ask if you can join an RP on the RP thread itself! This leads to a lot of unnecessary OOC chatter and that's not what the RP boards are for.
Welcome back to Pokécharms! We've recently launched a new site and upgraded forums, so there may be a few teething issues as everything settles in. Please see our Relaunch FAQs for more information.
'Alright then. I'll check you for poisoning by a blood sample, and cure you if needed, and then I'll do an x-ray to make sure your ribs are ok.' Zak got out a needle. 'Now just stay still.' Zak gestured out his hand if she needed it for comfort.
Azumi looked nervously at the needle. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. "Just do it." She tried to distract herself by thinking of the events that have happened so far.
Ray sighed as Micheal berated him before handing over his pokeball and jumping away. But despite Micheal's unfriendly behaviour, Ray was extremely grateful to the boy for getting his pokemon back.
He stared at the ball in his hand... He was too scared to open it - it had been in Tempest's possession for so long, he had no idea what they may have done to it... But before Ray could gather the courage to open it and check, he noticed someone walk out from behind a rock.
"I-is that Otis?" he said in disbelief. "The others have been worried about you, y'know! No one knew where you were!" He was glad to see her again, but he was a little worried about how she would react to his presence... He hadn't seen her since he'd fled from Azumi's mansion back in Coumarine...
'Alright!' Zak injected the needle into Azumi's left shoulder.' She shrieked in pain as Zak pulled it out. 'Ok I'll examine this blood sample now.' Zak moved over to his workbench and got out a microscope form a drawer labelled, "MICROSCOPES". When he examined it, he saw no trace of poisoning. 'Alright! No poison! Now, let's take this X-Ray.'
Michael heard a lot of racket outside his room so he opened the door.He followed the noises and saw Zak taking care of Azumi"Awwww,my ship is sailing!"He thought while smiling.Then,he skipped back to his room and looked at his backpack."There's still Popplio,Pikachu and Arcanine in there.Maybe they'll come in handy..."Then he and his Pokemon started to play a game,where someone immitates one of his "Travel Buddies"and the others have to guess who.
Otis smiled a bit, she was glad to see someone from the group. "Well, did Michael ever tell you that a Tempest member attacked us? Well, I was kinda... left behind there at where we battle him. But I didn't see where Michael went after the battle was over, and my Pokémon were really hurt, so I stayed there for awhile..." She took a moment to remember the Tempest member, and how all his Pokemon were so... strangely powerful. Otis then sighed, and looked back at Ray. "Do you know where everyone else is?"
Azumi rubbed her arm trying to get rid of the pain. She looked around trying to see where the x-rays would be taken and how. "Um Zak, where do I take the x-rays?" She said as she kept rubbing her arm.
"Oh right, Micheal did mention that..." Ray responded. "That must've been rough... I've seen what kinds of inhumane experiments they do to enhance their pokemon - I'm just glad you all made it out alive..." Ray tucked away Mistreavous's pokeball and tried not to think about whether his own pokemon had been subjected to the same kinds of experiments... he was still too nervous to check.
"Anyway, we're all hiding out in this abandoned cafe nearby. It's connected to some underground laboratory it's pretty crazy... I'll show you the way!"
Ray descended the tower, and headed in the direction of Lysandre Cafe.
"He was a hard opponent..." Otis mumbled, and she listened to Ray as he told her where everyone else was. "Wow, it sounds like you all were having an adventure yourselves." She then quickly followed Ray, excited to see the rest of the group.
Oliver looked at the guard, smiling. “You mean Sparky? He’s my Pichu!” He said cheerfully. “I sent him out to break me out. Now, i hate you, since your a big meanie, so go away!” He stuck his tounge out at him.
———
Sparky jumped out of the vent, seeing he was outside. “Chachu, Pichu.” (Okay, now i need to find help!) he saw some people walking out of a tower, and ran over to them, jumping up and down, waving his arms. “Pichu, Pichu! Chau, Chi-Chu!” (Hey, you! I need your help!)
'Oh just stay right there. They had this part built in and the way X-rays are done here, is amazing. So if I just pull this...' A giant holographic screen came up in front of Azumi. 'Ribs.' Zak said clearly. And as he did the screen looked like it was scanning her rib area. 'OK! Now we just look over here in the printer, and Voila! An X-ray of your 24 ribs, although,' He said pointing to the paper, 'There is two small cracks that would usually have no effect, but what I did find in your blood stream, was not poison, but a lack of Calcium and Vitamin D. Now that's why you have been coughing so much. So if you want a cure, just rest and drink lot's of moo moo milk there is a vending machine for that upstairs in the cafe which I can get it from. But I need to be keeping an eye on you. So while your resting up I'm gonna have to have you sleep on another bed in my room. Sorry, but if I don't keep and eye on you, something might happen and you could potentially die of blood loss. But I'm glad you came to me when you did.'
When Michael heard Zak's verdict,he opened the door,peeked out and told him,without leaving the room"That's convenient for you,isn't it?"He winked and closed the door,while laughing.He told his Pokemon"Man,I would love to matchmake them sometime!And then I could finally say"The Azak ship is sailing!!"."
Azumi sighed in frustration, "Cracked ribs and a bad diet? Really?" Azumi got up, "And sharing a room with you? I understand the reason, it's still odd though. I have never shared a room with anyone." She began to walk away, "I'll see you then, roomie. Let me know when my bed is ready."
Azumi went back to the cafe an prepared herself some tea. She looked over at the vending machine with the moomo milk in it. "Maybe later."
When Michael heard Azumi leave,he said"Now's my chance!"He dashed out of the room towards Zak, tugged to his shirt and said"You like her,don't you?"Michael said while wiggling his eyebrows."And don't try to deny it,'cause I know that you do.I have like a sixth sense about this.Or,if you want the real answer,I just really love playing matchmaker.Please,please,please let me help you!'Cause if you'll brush me off,I'll tell 'Zumi aaaaaalllllllll about it!"
'Aright! Alright! Whatever. Sure. Maybe. Yes. OK I admit it. But she has a legitimate medical condition and I need to look after her to make sure she heals. I'm going to my room to set up her bed. Which will be where ever I can fit it.' Zak sighed. It would be lot of work. But he hoped he could help her feel better. When he had finished he called out. 'Azumi! It's all ready!'
Azumi heard Zak call her. She yawned as she finished her tea and got up. She walked down to Zak's room. The rooms were not that big and the beds we're separated by a few feet. She took of her coat and left it on the edge of her bed. She went back to her, gathered her things and took em back.
After neatly placing her stuff under the bed, she took off her boots and layed down facing the wall. She coughed a few times until she covered herself with a blanket. "Good night roomie." She told Zak as she closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep. Her mind kept wondering though, it was weird for her to have to share a room.
'Good night' Zak said drowsily, as he drifted of to sleep. He woke up suddenly in the night. He checked his watch 4:30 am. He looked over at Azumi. She was sleeping soundly she started to stir though. I wonder how she's doing, he thought. He thought back to what Micheal had said. He did like her. Maybe after all this was done he could... start a relationship? No! No! He thought. It would never happen. She doesn't have eyes for you!
"YES!YES!YES!YES!"Michael thought excited.He ran over to his room and started to jump on the bed"Guess,what guys!The ship is true!!!!Zak does like 'Zumi!He's a much better Travel Buddie than Ray!!!Yeeeeeeeeee!!! I'll need to tell Jodi aaaaaalllll about it when she wakes up!!"Then he floped on the bed and said"Speaking of Ray,where is he?"He started to walk around the room,thinking"What if he left us again?Ugh,good riddance!But what if he was captured by Tempest?Eh,he'll fit with the other criminals.But what if he got distracted by something,and will come back later?Maybe we should lock the doors."Then he sat on the bed again and said''Eh,who cares?But on the better topic that I brought up,I should ask 'Zumi what she thinks about Zak.I really hope that she likes him too!"Michael started to squel and agitating around the room.Then,after about 30 minutes,he went to bed.
Azumi was soundly asleep for a few hours until her coughing woke her up. She sat up and wiped the small blood stain from her mouth. She looked at her watch, 5:09 am. She looked over at Zak who was sleeping peacefully.
Azumi rubbed her eyes and yawned as she got up and put her boots on. She walked outside the room only to see that Ray had not returned. "What did Michael do to him?" She made her way to the cafe and got a moomo milk out from the vending machine and began to drink it. She could see that the sky was showing signs of turning into day in an hour or two. "I wonder if there is any leftover food in this place."
She looked through the different drawers and cabinets behind the bar until she found a pack that said "Kangah's Pancake mix." Azumi smiled as she read the label. She quickly set everything up and began making breakfast.
Otis noticed a Pichu waving and calling out to them. She pulled out a Pokeball, and threw it in the air. The Pokeball opened and Clara landed on the ground. "Hmm, a Pichu could provide use to our team. Clara, use Earthquake on that Pichu!" Clara listened to Otis, and jumped up and down repeatedly, making the ground shake.
Sparky face palmed and climbed a nearby tree, avoiding the attack. He picked up a stick, writing on the ground. (I have trainer. My trainer Ollie. Ollie in trouble at evil place.) he wrote, pointing at it.
Michael woke up while the room was shaking. He looked over at the clock,it said 5:12."Ugh...what is happening?"He looked over at his Pokemon,which also woke up."Weav,can you come with me to see what's going on?" "Weavile!"She responded.When they got on the main floor,Michael asked Azumi"Is your chewing making the floor shake?"
Azumi laughed at Michael's comment, "No, that wasn't me. Probably there is a battle going on outside nearby." She began piling pancakes on a plate. "You want some?" She pointed at the pancakes.
"Yeah,loads.Can you make some for Weavile too?And notice that she evolved?"Michael said sarcastically."So 'Zumi what do you think about this so called "Special Agent" that'll come with us from now on?"Michael said,trying to sound irritated so he could get info out of Azumi.
"Sure there's plenty and congrats weavile." She said with a smile as she served more pancakes on the pile. "Go ahead and get as much as you need." She told Michael as she handed him a plate. "What special agent? You mean Zak? He looks like a nice person, don't really know anything about him." She continued to make pancakes, "Why do you ask? And by the way, what happened to Ray? Wasn't he with you?"
Michael smiled widely as he feasted with the pancakes with Weavile."Ummmmm......some secrets you'll probably find out later.And as for Ray,I just came here,don't know if something bad happened to him."He stopped to swallow and then ate some more pancakes."And if something bad did happen to him,the only words that I'll say are"Good riddance!"That guy can jump of a cliff,'cause I still won't care.And neither should you!"
"Stop Clara!" Otis said when the Pichu wrote down something in the dirt with a stick. She ran over to it, and read it aloud. "Ollie? He needs our help?" Otis looked towards Ray, her eyes filled with confusion and curiosity. "Should we help that Pichu and his trainer, Ray?"
Clara's earthquake caught Ray off-guard and he almost fell over but thankfully Typhlosion caught him in time.
"W-what's going on? A Pichu?" It took a moment for Ray to connect the dots. "Wait a second - did you say Ollie? So you're Ollie's pokemon?" A sinking feeling overcame Ray... that must mean that Ollie was recaptured during the whole server-room incident...
Ray paused to come up with a plan. He didn't think it would be possible to return to the HQ so soon... not with him and Azumi being injured...
He reached into his pocket and found the key that he had used to unlock Oliver's cell previously, and handed it to Pichu.
"Take this key, and give it to your trainer - he can use it to break himself out. But make sure you're not seen by anyone! Once he's out, come meet us at Lysandre Cafe, near prism tower."
With the key now in Pichu's possession, Ray continued on his way to the cafe. He'd been making an effort to walk without Typhlosion's help, and so his leg was killing him...
As Ray got closer to the cafe he noticed that something smelled good... He walked through the door and made a a cheerful announcement.
"Hey everyone, I just ran into someone who I'm sure you'll be happy to see again!" he turned around and beckoned for Otis to enter the building.
Azumi thought about what Michael said as she began a second pile of pancakes since the first one was to high already. "Well he isn't perfect." She said as she released Anakin and Lucho so they could begin eating. "Do you still have my Arcanine? I kinda need her back."
Otis smiled when Ray gave the Pichu a key so that his trainer can break out. She nodded to the Pichu, put Clara back in her Pokeball, and kept following Ray to the cafe. Otis noticed a sweet smell coming from the cafe, and she instantly walked in when Ray beckoned for her to come inside.
Otis saw Azumi and Michael. Azumi was making pancakes, and her Pokémon were eating some of the food. "It's good to see you all again, Azumi and Michael."
Azumi saw Ray walk in. She also saw Otis behind him, "Otis!" She said with a smile, "We were worried. I'm glad to see you're safe. You guys are welcome to serve yourself. I'm making more then enough."
She added more pancakes to the second pile. "What took you two so long?"
When Michael saw Otis come in the cafe,his mouth fell to the floor.He couldn't say anything,he was shocked"Uhhhh...I...O...."He started to blush with a Scolipede red colour."Weavile.."Weavile said rolling her eyes."-I mean,it's good that you two are back.We're going back to bed!"He took Weavile's arm and went in the elevator.He dashed to his room."Weavile..." "Like you would handle it better!"
Otis nodded to Azumi and sat down at a table. She grabbed a plate, and put three pancakes on it. She then grabbed a fork and started to eat. "Wow, this is amazing!" She smiled and started to eat at a much faster pace. Otis soon stopped eating for a moment so she could speak. "We were coming back, but then we encountered a Pichu. I was going to catch it, but the Pichu told us that his trainer was trapped somewhere. But luckily Ray helped the Pichu!"
She glanced at Michael who looked completely shell shocked. Otis let out a little laugh when Michael ran out of the room. "Ha...ha... so why did Michael run away like that?"
"Well, my interaction with Micheal involved a lot of unnecessary tower-climbing and bickering, as you can probably imagine..." Ray responded to Azumi.
He sat down and helped himself to some pancakes as Otis recounted their encounter with the Pichu. He snickered to himself as Micheal fled the room. Finally, the match-maker was getting a taste of his own medicine...
"He probably ate too many pancakes" Ray replied to Otis jokingly. "I wouldn't go near him if I were you!"
Azumi looked at Michael's reaction confused, she looked back at Otis, "Well it is Michael. It seems he likes running away a lot." She finished the last pancake. She grabbed a plate with quite a lot on it and walked outside with it. She then released Edward, who wagged his tail at the sight of the pancakes. Azumi began tossing the pancakes in the air while Edward happily caught them and ate them. After she was done feeding him, she returned him to his great ball and walked back in.
She served herself one pancake and a moomo milk. Then, she next to Ray and asked him "So... What's the plan?"
Michael frowned when he heard Ray's lie.He told Blaziken to bang in the roof."I can hear you!!!"He yelled."Ugh,I hope Ray gets eaten by Edward!"He said angry.He went to Jodi's room to make sure he didn't wake her up.He then thought"Ugh...when I thought he likes 'Zumi I encouraged him!And when he knows I like Oti',he ruins everything!"Michael floped on his bed,furios.
"Too many pancakes? Huh..." She thought for a moment, confusion was still shown on her face. Otis stood up from the table, she had finished all three of the pancakes that were on her plate. "Well, I'm going to go check on him."
She walked out for the room, and soon ended up at the elevators. Otis picked the floor where Jodi's room was, and waited to arrive there. She then walked out of the elevator when she reached the right floor. "Michael? Are you all right?" She called out, Otis had never seen Michael run away before so it worried her.
"Well, I don't think we should stay here much longer..." Ray said to Azumi. "It's only a matter of time before they find us... Hell, with Micheal bouncin' around the city like he owns the place, it wouldn't surprise me if they're already on their way..." he half-joked.
"But In terms of where to go next... I say Laverre City. I think it goes without saying that we need some extra help... and I know where we could get some. You ain't gonna like it, though..." Ray cleared his throat. "B-but that's just an idea... maybe we should talk to Mr special-agent whatshisface first, see what his plans are?"
"I'm not going to like what?" Azumi said putting her fork down, she was barley halfway with her pancake. She looked at Ray with suspicious eyes, it was becoming a habit. "What is there in Laverre city that I could possibly not like?"
Ray sighed. He was expecting this kind of reaction, but he wanted to be honest with his intentions anyway... He took a deep breath before continuing.
"Not in Laverre city, but just outside it... The Lost Hotel - have you heard of it? It's home to a lot of shady people, and I found out recently through... a certain pokemon... that there's a new iteration of Team Rocket around - 'Rainbow Rocket' was what he called it. If there's anywhere to get in contact with them, it'd be the Lost Hotel. And, well, since law-enforcement and the gym leaders haven't been enough to take on Tempest so far, I was thinking that, maybe, y'know... we enlist some help? I was a decently-ranked admin back in the day, my word might carry some weight... and it's not like there's nothing in it for them - Tempest is taking over their turf! What I'm saying is, they may be willing to fight with us..." Ray was clearly uncomfortable pitching this to Azumi. "B-BUT LIKE I SAID, that's just and idea!" He averted his gaze in embarrassment. Dear Lord, what was he saying?
