"Thanks for the ride," Jai said to Darkaan. With that, her Ekans, Viper released herself from her pokeball.
<I ssssstill think that boy'sssss trouble,> she said, shooting glares at Darkaan in the proccess.
"Viperette, be reasonable," Jai said, in a sort of an eggagerated pleading tone.
<I'm jussst telling you what I think.> Viper put extra emphasis on the word 'think.'
"Well, I think I can think well enough for myself," Jai said, also stressing the second 'think.'
<Meh, whatever.>
"Now, we had better check this place out," Jai said. She released her Poochyena. "Can you smell any traces of Herald?" Poochyena put his nose to the ground and followed it up to the door of the lab. "I guess we should go inside first, huh?"

(Ooc: I hope this is where Herald is. How embarassing if it wasn't! ;D )
"I think we should go quietly in just in case he is present. He seems pretty powerful!" said Darkaan returning fearow and withdrawing his victreebel. "Ok, victreebel. We may not get on that well, but right now I am putting my trust in you. I know how silent you move and how powerful you are. Please be on guard as we explore the facilities." Darkaan whispered to Vain-Glory. Vain-Glory appreciated the comment and surprised Darkaan by whispering an agreement.
Darkaan both walked in quietly with Jai and her paochyena.

ooc|| Yeah, I've been kinda worried about that all along, but I wouldn't be surprised. o_0.

Jai looked around the lab. She could still see the place where she had fallen on the day she had started this journey. It seemed so strange to be back here so soon. On the day she had left, she thought she would never see it again. But apparently, she was wrong. And she still couldn't help but feel the strange familiar presence of darkness.
<Something is very wrong,> Poochyena said, his ears perked.
"I should give you a name, huh?" Jai asked, changing the subject (something she often did when she was uncomfortable), "But I just can't think of anything." She had this faraway look in her eyes, as if she wasn't thinking about the name, but rather something else, something that was coming back to her after all these years. And this time, she was to weak to fight it.

A rainbow gulpin slithered passed them looking down.

"Weird," Jai commented, "Never saw a pokemon like that before." She bent down to the pokemon with some trouble. "Do you know about a man named Herald?" she asked it. Her first instinct would have normally been to attack, and she probably would have if it weren't for the fact that they were in a lab.
<Don't worry,> Poochyena said, <We won't hurtcha.>

It cringed in fear at the mention of his name. It slithered off terrified.

"I'll take that as a yes," Jai said, standing up again. She stood, still and silent for a moment, then turned to Darkaan and asked, "So, what do you think we should do next?"
<I'll tell you what I think,> Poochyena said, <I think that we should call the authorities immediately. They'd know what to do. The sooner they come, the less pokemon get hurt.> The dog-like pokemon got a worried look in his eyes.

Darkaan watched it slither off. "Everyone knows of Herald! Of course that little guy would be scared! But we need proof he's here! I do not want to like an idiot again!" He said shaking his head. "When we know for certain he's here, then we'll call. So get your pokenav ready." He said as they continued walking down the eerie-lit lab corridors. There was a really unpleasant silence. Darkaan shivered as he got the idea that invisible pokemon or Herald might be watching them.

Jai shrugged. "Just making sure." She stared down at her crutches for a moment, wishing that they weren't so dang noisy. She glanced up and looked around the eerie lab. It seemed quiet, too quiet. Maybe this was why she had always had the sneaking suspicion that something was watching her---maybe something really was. This thought sent shivers down her spine.
Poochyena padded softly beside his owner. He looked up at Darkaan and said, <I think that there's plenty of evidence at this point. I mean, did you SEE that Gulpin?!?! He looked so terrified!>

Muffled sounds could be heard behind a door to the left of them... Would they dare open the door? [/size]

Jai glanced questioningly at Darkaan. "Shall we?" she asked, placing her hand on the door, pushing it slightly ajar.
<Just open the dang door!> Poochyena barked, <I'd like to take a bite out of the butt of whoever thought they could mess with all my buddies on route one!> Though his speech was elementary, there was an intense, passionate anger in the wolf-like pokemon's eyes.

"Okay," Jai said, but she had a bad feeling about it. The girl pushed the door open with all of her might. Poochyena sprung into the room barking, more than ready to attack this so-called Herald. He had some nerve, doing that to all the pokemon, and Poochyena was anxious to give him a piece of his mind.

The room erupted into barking! Caged eevee were everywhere! Some mutated, other's not! Kantex Regional Laboraory was Herald's base!!!
Something that was invisible in that room stirred and roared in anger at being disturbed!

Jai gasped. She had never seen something so terrible, or at least not for a long time. The eevees, some of them were hideous and some seemed normal. Either way, they all seemed terrified and unhappy to say the least. As she looked at them, Jai started to see herself- hideous and trapped; how strange since she was on the outside.
<Arrr,> Poochyena growled, <You're gonna pay for this.> He stopped growling for a moment and perked his ears, seeming to sense the invisible character's presence. <Is that you Herald?>

It was an invisible shiftry! One of Herald's powerful pokemon! Instead of attacking it pushed them both forcefully aside and stood in the corridor blocking their exit. It emitted a powerful screech alerting everyone of entruders!!!

"VICTREEBEL! SPORE THAT POKEMON!!!" Victreebel let the lethal sleep spores fly towards the Shiftry.

The Poochyena, blind with anger, ran to attack the invisible pokemon, getting hit with the Victreebell's spores in the process. That didn't stop him from trying to reach Herald's pokemon though.
Jai looked around the room. The alarms worried her. What if they couldn't get out? Oh well, didn't matter much anyways.

(Ooc: Oops! Hoping to reply earlier.)
The spores fell on the shiftry, instantly making it fall asleep. The spores also made the poochyena fall asleep. All was quiet... for a second.
Loud clomping noises could be heard through the empty clinical corridors. The other shiftry were out looking for the intruders! The nuzleaf were playing their haunting melodies and a darkness descended onto the Kantex Regional Laboratory!
The corridors grew darker... and darker... and hope and joy seemed to be fruitless in this darkness' presence of such misery.

Jai returned her Poochyena to his pokeball as the darkness fell on the lab. She could hear the other pokemon get closer and closer to the room where she and Darkaan were trapped. They sounded quite strong. Jai threw another pokeball onto the ground, this one containing her Ekans. Even though Viperette wasn't very strong, it made the girl feel better to have at least one pokemon out.
<Ssssswhat happened?> the snake pokemon asked.
Jai shrugged, but it was really too dark to see that. Her heart seemed to be trying to escape her by pounding its way out of her chest. She was excited to be on such an adventure, but it worried her that neither of her pokemon were very strong. She wished that at this moment, she could have her old Arbok and Charmeleon back. Then there wouldn't be any worries. They had been a team, the three of them. Those were the days.

"Ugh! Give your poochyena this berry! It'll awake!" Darkaan said handing Jai a berry to give to her poochyena.
He grabbed the invisible shiftry body and started dragging it into where they were.

The clomping came closer... followed by a whinny!
A ponyta, eevee and absol shot past Darkaan as he dragged the body in to the room. A bunch of strong bindings were up on the cabinet in the room they were in.

"Look! An eevee! Herald is definately here! Notify authorities... sis!" Darkaan said straining to drag the rest of the body in. He closed the door quietly. He was sure he heard the footsteps outside... He caught his breath. He couldn't hear them anymore! Did the invisible shiftry see him?

The invisible shiftry did indeed stop outside the room... ... But only to scratch itself! It clomped onwards down the corridor, looking for intruders... It could be heard turning down another corridor, it's footsteps getting further and further away...

"Thanks," Jai said, taking the berry from Darkaan. She released her Poochyena from the pokeball. It lay across her feet, still snoozing. With some trouble, Jai bent down and forced the berry into the Poochyena's mouth. Apparently that wasn't enough. She ended up having to shove it down the pokemon's throat using a few of her fingers. The Poochyena barked a couple of times, as if still in a dream, then jerked awake.
<What happened?> he asked, looking rapidly back and forth, <Where did that stupid Shriftry go?>
<Youuuuuu were out cccccoldddd,> Viper informed the clueless pup.
Jai watched the three pokemon dart in front of her. How strange. Exactly what were they running from? "Maybe we should follow them?" Jai suggested, pointing her finger towards the place where the pokemon had run.
