"Definetely!"Michael said with a smirk.He looked a little creeped out at that guy,but then he realised something."Hey,you remembered how you fooled the guards and that old man?If you look like Azumi so much you could trick them,I think you can trick this guy!I mean,maybe he's a coworker of 'Zumi's and that's why he talked and waved to you!"

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.
This is clearly stated in our RP forum rules. If you've not read them yet, do so BEFORE posting anything in the RP forums. They may be found here (for Pokémon Role Play) or here (for General Role Play). Remember that the Global Rules of Pokécharms also apply in addition to these rule sets. -

Eli sat down next to maker "Yeah, that makes a lot of sense." Eli called out his pokemon and gave Veon and Lix the hotdogs he got them earlier and Razor the salad.

"Oh I did't mean we should trick him just that we could" Eli said as he picked up Lix and set him on his lap, and started to pet Lix.
"Eli,she asked me.But no,I meant that you like,tricked the other guys!And you tricked him,without realizing it!Like,you know because you-Ugh,who am I kidding?Anyway,what are we going to do now?"
"Well,we could wait for the speech to start like normal persons!"Jodi said sarcastic.
"You know I'm not one!But still,this is boring!!"

"Ugh...Then just go up to him and say,not with your slang"Hey!I'm not Azumi Towers,I'm her polar opposite twin sister,so stop smiling to me because it's creeping me out!!"Michael said,trying to look annoyed and sassy.
"I think that might draw attention,well Maker's fine with that,but people might start thinking that we're self-centered divas!But,what do you think?"Jodi asked Maker.

"Yo yo! What's craka lakin?" She said in a weird pose.
The young man starred confused. "I'm sorry? Who are they?" He said even more confused.

Eli got up and followed maker with Lix and Veon on his shoulders and Razor by his side as he silently observed.
"No sorry! I didn't mean to be rude, it's just I wasn't expecting Azumi to bring company. I could've prepared more seats for you all." The young man said nervously.
Maker laughed. "Don't scare people like that Michael!" She turned to the young man. "Now introduce yourself to my friends." Maker said, trying to sounds like Azumi.
"Yes ma'am!" He answered and bowed to the others. "My name's Daniel. I am Miss Azumi's trainee."
Maker laughed. "Don't scare people like that Michael!" She turned to the young man. "Now introduce yourself to my friends." Maker said, trying to sounds like Azumi.

Michael sighed at Maker's attempt to be Azumi again,but he just played along."Hmmm...He bows,he calls you ma'am and miss,acts nervous when he does something wrong in front of other people,so that means he really is your trainee!"
"Well,he shows respect,that's how it's supposed to be!"Jodi informed Michael.
"Hmmmm...I'm getting some powerful vibes from you!...Wait,your the guy that asked 'Zumi out,right?"

Eli frowned at maker for a second before giving daniel a pleasant smile "Hi daniel! my names Eli".Eli leaned over to maker and whispered "This is a little mean, besides won't your sister be mad when she finds out?"
"True..." Maker whispered back to Eli. Then she turned her attention back to Daniel, Who was in panic by Michael's question. "Yo Daniel! We gonna sit up front! Watch my back ok?" Maker said with a wink and left.
Daniel just stood there speechless, trying to figure out what just happened.

"What,Meowth's got your tongue?"Michael asked with a smirk.
"How do you know that?"Jodi asked him surprised.
"Well,it's my shipping vibes.So when I ship someone,I can sense when they have romantic interactions,right?Well,when someone else flirts with a participant in the ship,I can sense it!"
"That's creepy..."
"Just how it's supposed to be!"He looked back at Daniel."But,'Zumi's taken!So don't try anything!'Cause your relationship will be professional forever and ever and EVER!!!Okay?

Eli shrugged "I don't know I've kinda just been wandering around so far..." Eli looks up at the ceiling "I don't really know what to do with my time these days, I've made some friends but I've always felt the need to search for something important to do."
The car with Ray, Azumi, and Alex pulled up to venue and Ray opened the door and stepped out before it'd even come to a full stop. He started speed-walking toward the venue.
"Dammit, I'm should've been here 30 minutes ago..." he muttered to himself.
As Ray approached the door he noticed a group of people congregated on a nearby street corner, listening to the ravings of a robed old man who was obviously somewhat crazy...
"YOU WON'T FIND THE SOLUTION TO OUR PROBLEMS IN THERE!" The man gestured spastically toward the city hall.
"The mythologies are quite clear on what we must do! It is said that at one time, humans beings and pokemon lived as separate, yet equal beings - and this state we must reclaim! All of the tribulations of the modern world stem from power imbalance, and power imbalance is a product of the subjugation of pokemon by humans; thus, we must ABOLISH the current system! But do not fear: we are nothing like team Galactic, who wished to end the world, or team Plasma, who wished to keep people and pokemon separate; no, the Sinnohan Society of Mythic Retrogression moves FORWARD! not backward! We have TECHNOLOGY, I tell you - technology like you wouldn't believe! and-"
The old man was getting way too worked up... so a security guard came and dragged him off the premise, and the bystanders that'd gathered around him dispersed with confused looks on their faces.
Meanwhile, Ray rushed inside and Lucian met him with a calm and composed intellectual air.
"Ah, Ray, you're here! So nice to finally meet you in person!"
"SORRY I'M LATE" Ray blurted out. Lucian laughed:
"No, not at all! There's still five minutes before we're to go on stage - I'd say your timing is impeccable!"
Ray laughed nervously and continued to follow Lucian to the room where the debate was about to commence...

Alex stepped out of the car, and after noticing the wackadoodle, muttered under his breath, “aaaoooookay, I’m going inside.”
Alex wasn’t the only one who noticed the man. As Growlithe followed him, she caught the busker’s scent. He was preaching love and equality, but he smelled of hate and anger. While the man was being dragged off by the police, Growlithe stopped in place, her hackles raised. She took a defensive stance. With front paws spread and ears flattened, she began furiously barking at the suspicious man, now in custody.
“You best watch your pup, boy. He could get the both of you into serious trouble,” one of the officers ordered Alex.
“Y-yes sir… ” Alex said, too nervous to meet the man’s eyes, let alone correct him on Growlithe's gender. Out of the corner of his vision, he noticed the busker stare at Growlithe before raising his gaze to Alex. The crowd was dispersing, but Alex noticed that some former crowd members had stopped to stare at Alex with intensity in their eyes. Alex quickly scooped up Growlithe and headed in. He looked down at Espeon as he entered the doors. Espeon was trying to act aloof, but Alex could tell even he was concerned. That’s not a good sign.

Otis sat silently, listening to the others talk and the speech that was soon going to happen. She sighed, looking at everyone for a brief moment. She had come along with them because she was bored, and that they are all her friends.
Michael only now noticed that Otis was with them."Oh,you're here!"He said surprised."Why were you sitting in silence again?Is it fun to just sit 'round and look at other people?Ugh,you're not doing that anymore!Tell me,how are your Pokemon doing?" He tried to make small talk,because he was feeling bad for her that she didn't really talk with anyone.
Azumi left the car and let Ray rush ahead. She paid little attention to the man making a ruckus outside, she had seen cases like these often and they were no longer of her interest. She walked happily with Nana in her arms, saluting anyone she recognized. Nana just looked around with curiosity.
"Alex!" Azumi called out to him. "Stay close, I don't want the guards not letting you in." She continued to walk forward until a man with gray hair stopped her. "Ms. Towers! You sure changed your others quickly."
Azumi saluted him with a smile. "I guess I did, how are you Director Gallard?"
"I'm doing great. Thank you for being here. Say do you need the guards to let you through?" He said pointing at the door towards the conference room.
"No thank you I'm fine. I have my badge with me." Azumi responded with a smile.
"Great! You sure went and got it quickly." He said with a laugh and left.
Azumi looked at him confused as he left. "I guess I did." Nana just laughed and continued to inspect every person and Pokemon she saw.
A reporter approached Azumi. "Hello Miss aren't you an officer?"
Azumi stopped, a little astonished by the direct approach. "Yes I am."
"Would you mind telling us who you are here to support?" The reporter pointed his microphone at her.
"Not at all. I'm here to support Lucian. I strongly believe in what he is fighting for here today." Azumi answered with an assured tone of voice.
Another three reporters rushed to her when they heard her comment. They began asking questions, until one spoke louder than the others. "So you believe that criminal also who have attempted to even destroy the reality we live in, should get a second chance?"
Azumi nodded her head in agreement. "I believe that people aren't born bad, they get a twisted and awful version of the world which they have to learn to live in. Because of this, they go to extreme measures to survive. If we have the opportunity to help them become better, than we should take that opportunity."
The reporters began buzzing among themselves. Azumi bowed to excuse herself and left that group. She grabbed Alex by the arm and dragged him to the conference room. Once inside a guard stopped them, but Azumi flashed her badge and was allowed inside.
She was walking to the front of the room when she noticed Daniel far off with an astonished look as he saw her walk in. Azumi waved hello to him and he waved back, as if he had seen a ghost. She reached the front row and found the others already there. She rushed and sat next to Jodi.
"Hey everyone!" She said as she made sure her dress wasn't being ruined. Nana starred at Michael and Jodi without blinking, her curiosity as to why they where here was bothering her.
"Alex!" Azumi called out to him. "Stay close, I don't want the guards not letting you in." She continued to walk forward until a man with gray hair stopped her. "Ms. Towers! You sure changed your others quickly."

Eli smiled and waved at Azumi "Guy's, there here! I think it's starting soon!"
"Sorry, I'm not used to this kind of stuff," Alex apologized. He could feel Growlithe still shaking in his arms. Noticing this, Alex took a deep breath. As Azumi dragged him along, he tried to collect himself. Being this anxious was poor leadership for his pokemon. He noticed Azumi's confidence in answering the reporters, and, inspired, he pulled himself together.
Noticing the rest of the group, he waved and took a seat with them. Setting Growlithe on his lap, he noticed that she was still shaking. Alex decided not to mention it, figuring she was just having trouble relaxing.
Meanwhile, Espeon tried to claim a seat for himself, as he was obviously just as important as the silly humans. However, after realizing that he was too light to weigh down the seat of the movie-theatre-style chair, he decided to demand Growlithe share her spot on Alex's lap.

“I’m just don’t know what to talk about really... and all my Pokémon are doing fine.” Otis sat patiently as everyone else arrived. The speech was about to start soon, and she let Joey out of his Pokeball. He sat on her lap comfortably, smiling to himself.
Azumi took out a camera, even though many professional cameras were already recording, she wanted to take pictures for album she had started ever since she and Ray became a couple. Nana saw the camera and became excited, she loved being in photos. Azumi told her to go with Maker. Nana quickly teleported.
"Hey Nana! What's up?" Maker said with a smile. Nana pointed at Azumi who was aiming the camera back at them. "Michael! Eli! Jodi! Smile for the camera!" Maker said as she let out a big smile, ready for the picture. Nana posed also, raising her arms in the air.

Lucian, Ray and Byron took the stage, along with a mediator who picked up a microphone and began to speak:
"May I have your attention , please! The debate between Lucian of the elite four, and Byron, gym leader of Canalave City, will now commence - the issue at hand, as I'm sure you all know, being that of evil teams. Lucian will arguing for the rehabilitation of evil team members, whereas Byron will be arguing for their permanent incarceration. In hosting this public event, the city of Veilstone hopes that its citizens will be able acquire an informed and multi-sided understanding of the issue, so that we will be able to make better decisions together, moving forward. So, without further adieu: here's Byron, with his opening remarks."
The crowd applauded as the burgundy-haired gym leader took to the stage. His attire was far less formal than Lucian's and Ray's: he wore a casual white button-up and grey khakis, looking very working-class.
"Men and women of Sinnoh! I have to admit, the fact that we're even having this debate baffles me: I thought that the permanent incarceration of those who threaten this great region that we are blessed to live in would be a given! But alas, there seem to be non-patriots among us, confounded by the impracticable babblings of ivory-tower intellectuals like Lucian here... But no matter: I won't rest until every last one of you can see the issue for what it really is! Let me open by telling you a bit about myself:
I grew up poor too, you know - just as poor, if not poorer, than any team Galactic member, team Rocket member, what have you. But you know what I did? instead of joining an evil team I got an honest job working in the mines! I worked my ass off and made myself into the man you see standing before you today, from the ground up! All this talk of 'lack of opportunity' for those in dire socioeconomic circumstances is, frankly, nonsense; anyone who knows the meaning of hard work can succeed in this great region! Sinnoh has no need for deadbeats who turn to crime instead of sorting themselves out!"
Byron's words were met with thunderous applause, and Ray gulped nervously as prepared to speak next.
"Don't worry, Ray - you'll do great!" Lucian gave him a reassuring smile.
"Okay, okay, settle down!" the mediator attempted to calm the crowd. "Up next we have a special guest, Ray Montag, who will be making Lucian's opening remarks. For those of you who don't know: Ray is an ex evil team member, of several evil teams... but has since changed his ways, and now shows great promise as an upcoming orator, social critic, and upstanding citizen in general. Would you please welcome him to the stage!"
The audience clapped for Ray as he walked out, but not as vigorously as they did for Byron... Ray took the microphone and began to speak:
"Ladies and gentleman, please listen to me when I tell you that the alienating rhetoric employed by Byron is precisely what gives rise to evil teams in the first place; if we do not acknowledge this, then I am afraid we will be unable to make any progress on the issue. Byron's position is predicated on the assumption that everyone in dire socioeconomic circumstances has the same opportunities available to them, but this is simply not that case - especially given the the varying levels of social stigmatization that exist independently of economic status - but that is something that Lucian will elaborate on further in the debate. In the meantime, I think that the sheer hopelessness experienced by evil team members in current society can be clearly evinced by just how radical, and often apocalyptic, their goals are: Rocket, Magma, Plasma, and most recently Tempest advocating for a total overhaul of the political system, and in Magma's case even nature itself; and Aqua, Galactic, and Flare advocating for the literal destruction of the world as we know it. Do you really think that people would be driven to such unfathomable extremes if there were other options available to them? Of course not... a job mining would be a helluva lot easier, if they could get one. But someone who is willing to wipe out space and time is someone who has exhausted every other option available to them. That is why we need certain reforms in the legal system, prioritizing community service and rehabilitation over permanent incarceration, and-"
All of a sudden an explosion rang out through the debate hall and numerous people wearing Team Galactic uniforms flooded into the room from several holes in the walls. In addition several people in the audience jumped to their feet and joined them, as if they knew the attack was going to happen...
"Time to reclaim our old base!" an admin, leading the charge, shouted gleefully. "May Cyrus's spirit live on forever!"
People in the crowd began to panic, and the debate hall was rapidly reduced to bedlam. Galactic grunts fired at fleeing civilians with their pokemon indiscriminately as they pushed deeper into the room...
Lucian looked on with a sad expression:
"Their timing couldn't have been any worse..." he sighed to himself. "Bronzong, I'm in need of your assistance!" he said as he sent out the bell pokemon.
"Aha, I told you! They can't be trusted!" Byron exclaimed triumphantly, and he sent out his Bastiodon.
Ray just stood there stunned for a moment before reaching for Typhlosion's pokeball.

Michael and Jodi both smiled at the camera,Jodi doing the peace sign and blinking Michael did that rock music sign and stuck his tongue out,but they stopped to hear the speech.Both of them glared at Byron and cheered for Ray,but got interupted by an explosion.Michael sighed as the Galactic members came in the room."We just can't have a break,can we?"He got up called out his Pokemon."Show time."He pointed his hands towards the grunts and his Pokemon fired all kinds of attacks."Ugh,couldn't you wait until we got outside?"He growled a bit at Byron's comment."Oh please.Show some respect to the person you're fighting along side with."Jodi panicked a little when the grunts flooded the place,but quickly got her Pokemon out and started fighting.

Eli looked around the room shocked, but he shook it off and jumped up to go and fight off team galactic.
Azumi took plenty of pictures with Nana in all of them. She also took some of the speakers and watched proudly as Ray spoke. Nana even called out to him when he stepped out, which of course resulted in some people laughing and Azumi telling her to be quiet.
Maker was not paying much attention to what they were saying. She just looked forward as if to be deep in thought about their words, but really was considering leaving and waiting outside. Just when she had made up her mind, the explosion happened.
Azumi quickly stood up, holding Nana with one arm, who buried her face in her trainer's chest, and looked around to analyze the situation. She noticed some people from the crowd working with Galactic, meaning this was planned all along. She looked over at Ray, who was in a safe spot with the gym leader and elite four by his side. She checked on Maker and the gang, who as long as they stayed close to each other, would not be in any trouble. Just then a grunt rushed at Azumi, but she quickly took him down with a punch from her left hand.
"Woa! That was pretty cool sis!" Maker called out, who had released her Infernape and was battling enemy Pokemon.
"Thank you, self defense classes are part of the program." Azumi replied with a smile. She then reached for a pokeball and took out Anakin, her Lucario. "Anakin keep me and Nana safe, I will provide back for you." She told her pokemon, who nodded and began attacking and protecting any danger that was sent their way. Nana teleported to Typhlosion's side. Azumi looked that way and yelled at Ray. "Watch Nana! I didn't bring her pokeball!"
