Two for the price of one! Both Video, at different times!

[First! Around 3 in the morning, the night of the stealings.
Cilan didn't sleep normally. No, he tended to take naps and travel during the night - or, well, whenever he needed to. It was just something he was raised into.
And so, last night, he'd noticed something... off, in Nacrene. He heard strange sounds, and saw a certain thievery. So, today, he's on the network! Yay!]
...
[However, he's appearing as one of the Triad, a pup Houndour seated firmly behind him.]
Team Plasma has struck again.
[His voice is quick, but it is wavering a little. Should he be telling people of this? He's also not really looking into the camera.]
Nacrene Muesum was broken into. The Dragon Skull was taken. I have no clue where they have gone.
[Is he doing the right thing? Should he be spilling this? He could always return to Ghetsis, if he wasn't doing this. Argh. He let out... a sigh, before turning off the camera.]

------

[But a few hours later, around eight, he's broadcasting again! As Cilan, even! He totally forgot to show this, and that's what people did, right?
He's sitting in the Cafe Warehouse - it looks mighty odd! But you can also go up and talk to him, if you're in the area!]
Um, while that strangeness was going on, last month... I-I got this.
[Look! It's a Trio Badge! Cilan's got a bit of a smile.]
It was quite easy. But, um, Lenora's going to be tough, I think...
[Is that some more guilt? He knows what happened to her in his world. It was because of Team Plasma... but Cilan gives a smile. And now, time for him to ask a question, because he's gonna start doing this at the end of every broadcast!]
D-do you have a favorite Pokemon type? Mine, um, is obvious. Ever since I was young, I liked grass-types - I had Pansage as a starter. They compliment me perfectly - um, like how fire compliments Chili, and water... [pause. Cilan shakes his head. He can't even talk about that other brother. How... curious! He remembers just before arriving - that murderous look. And that word... if you can read lips, he's mouthing the word 'Traitor'!] Um, so... what is your favorite type? Or do you prefer a healthy blend?

((OOC: Because I don't feel like double-posting - specify which post you're replying to, you can totally reply to both in different comments. He has two devices, so no slip-ups here hopefully.))

[ Staring a little. He can't quite put his finger on why you seem familiar. ]

I will keep an eye out for them.

[ Too bad he's in the opposite direction.]

Why would they take the skull?

...For their lord.
[...]
It might relate to one of the legends of Unova - the twin dragons.

Seems like they're grasping at straws.

[ Because that is clearly a Dragonite skull and the twin dragons are clearly not merely Dragonite... Even if all you have to go on is legends and knowing what a Dragonite looks like. ]

...Perhaps.
[Only perhaps? He shook his head. They weren't fools, they were misinformed. Like most grunts.]
They fled with it. I imagine they won't get far.

There could be other factors, of course.

[ Sephiroth has had experience with the grunt types not being told what is really going on. ]

I don't imagine they will.

[ Not now that people know to look for them at least. ,/small>]

The forest is quite deadly. Even if human hands do not touch them... they are unlikely to survive.

You mean Pinwheel Forest?

[ He spent over a week wandering in there. Not safe certainly but, deadly? ]

Do you know more than you've said already?

...
[Silence, for but a moment.]
If they're careless.
[Either danger from trying to liberate trainers, or getting the gym leaders involved... of course, it would be a lot more violent in his world.]

You are certainly a secretive one. Reminds me of the Turks... [ Not a good thing. ] Who are you?

[Who. Who is he? He has no idea, himself. Not anymore... ~~angst angst angst~~
But he gave a bit of a shake of the head.]
I am... a servant. To them.
[Team Plasma being 'them' in this situation. He did need to pause, though. This was public, after all. But nobody knew who he was, under the mask and wig. Did they? And besides, he wasn't one here.]

[ A frown. Them as in Team Plasma? He wasn't entirely sure but, there was no other 'them' he knew of to guess otherwise. ]
You seem conflicted.
[ Sephiroth is not a stranger to identity crisis... of course he mostly just had to figure out if he was really human or a monster. ]

It's a long story. And I do not tell it to many.

I suppose that's understandable.

I guess I like a blend of types... Unless cute counts as a type. [ She feels kind of childish for only ending up with adorable Pokémon so far. ]

Well, um, that is more of a theme... but it is a good one! It gives you, um, a good balence of Pokemon, and they would suit you.
[Aw, he's calling you cute.] May... May I see them?

Um... [ Compliment? What compliment? Hard to say whether she noticed and is just ignoring it or if it really went over her head. ]

Okay, sure.

[ And most of them are already out of their Poké balls since she likes to let them out to stretch whenever she can. She turns the camera to each of them as she says their names. ]

There's Cloud. [ The Espeon is just sprawled out enjoying some sun. ] Yuffie. [ Swablu dozing off while perched in a tree. ] Cid and Shera. [ Furret and Buizel cuddling next to the tree. ] Eiko. [ Blue Ponyta just wandering around. ] Freya. [ Cottonee just drifting on the breeze. ] And my Phione isn't here right now.

Ah~! They all look so cute~!
[Cilan looked over them - and she had some interesting nicknames for them! Cilan looked back to his team - and then sudden Tropius face in the camera!]

Yeah. [ Not too surprised about sudden Pokémon face. Cloud likes to do that too. ] Oh, um. Hello there.

Oh-- this is Gro... Tropius! [GUESS WHO HE KINDA NICKNAMED IT AFTER :P] He's rather friendly...

[ Gro... Oh dear. Hazel has no idead what he was about to say and she isn't going to pry. ] I was guessing either that or just nosy. [ Cloud does it because he wants to know who she's talkimg to... And he's finally decided to drag himself away from his sunning to poke his nose in by crawling half in Hazel's lap and putting his head right under her chin. ]

[Technically he heard you for both, but since that first and second he hasn't really had the chance to ponder the minor similarities between the two voices; he appears to be busy tugging on a chain attached to which is a snarling Houndour apparently hel-bent on burning Striaton's Dream Yard down; he'd be in the city proper if not for that.

Not so busy he can't look at the video and respond though, curiously enough.]

A favorite type? I can't really say, I haven't seen them long enough you know. [He's played a game or two back home but that's not really something you say in this situation...]

I guess I just like a blend of things! [...Though an electric could be fun. At the side, the murkrow mutters-]

Hn! No types...

Oh hush Ikol, you're being no fun at all.

Oh, so, um... a newcomer?
[...what is up with that houndour. and that talking pokemon. Don't mind him looking kinda... shocked. Oh, and have Garland waving! Hi!]
Well, it can take a while to find the type or t-theme for you.

I suppose.

[As the houndour shouts things like 'MURDER! DEATH TO ASGARD! BURN!!' in its language...]

If I keep finding familiar friends in these forms here it probably won't matter I suppose.

[There's a snort from the side- 'Friends', Ikol mutters under his breath.]

I've got a ways to go though, there's no hiding that. I thought I'd train out here but the hel pup seems to insist on doing otherwise. [There's a tug on the chain.] Which is about what he did back home I guess.

[Another snarl that Garland should hear as a 'DESTROY THE HAIRLESS ONES!', while Loki winces due to guessing what the translation probably is.]

Familiar? So, um, do you have creatures like this... back home?
[Garland is standing his ground, starting to growl to himself. He'll protect Cilan, no matter what.]

[Ikol will be giving a look to Garland and clucking something under his breath- which probably amounts to 'the hound will not burn you... Regardless.]

Oh no! But these two weren't pokemon where I'm from. Just normal things, like a magpie familiar and a hel-puppy.

['fIIIIIREEEEEE'] Thori NO! [A slight yank.] Bad dog, you don't burn the tall grass you search it!

...Um. We... we did not have creatures like that, in my world. I come from... another version of this world.
[But he is curious about what those things are!]
That Houndour seems rather... dangerous, still.

Well, he likes to be dangerous [tug] but believe me, he could be much worse!

Given time, he'll be the best dog ever, just you wait~

H-he could?
[uhhhhhhhhhhhhh]
Do you need help, um, raising him?

What, this guy?

['mmMMMUUUUURDERRRRR-']

It's no more difficult than it was at home really. Though if you have some tips, I'll not ignore them!~

[Batgirl had been researching the area. Though she knew at this point she had likely trained her two Pokemon partners beyond well enough to take on the local leader through her observations of the trainers entering and leaving the gym; she had decided not to move.]

I guess my intuition has payed off... though it is unfortunate this has happened on a night I am out on the routes training...

Understood. Team Plasma has stolen the dragon skull from the museum. I will proceed to further investigate and prepare for battle. Do you have any idea why they would take a skull?

To revive it.
[...ohaithere.]
They think... it may be related to the Dragons of legend.
[In his world, it kinda made more sense! Because it was a legendary Dragon-type!]

Revive it? From just a skull?

[surely, she had heard of stranger methods of beings to be brought back to life, but this seemed strange considering this world]

You say they think it may be related to these dragons of legend. Does this mean you disagree?

[she pauses, and pushes dismissal from her mind]

I will of course attempt to help the recovery. But do you believe there is any real danger in this incident?

It looks quite similar to a dragon, yes. But I am unsure.
[.............]
If they can revive one, we are in danger.
If not, they may attack trainers to liberate their Pokemon.
Either way, it's rather dangerous.

If you are unsure, it may be best to act on the side of caution.

Until they are defeated I will stop attempting to earn gym badges to "earn their respect" and assist in stopping Team Plasma directly.

[she waits for a few moments, before addressing him directly]

You inform us all... but will you join those of us who will fight them?

[He's a bit worried... what might happen to the grunts. Plus, he wants to see for himself, just how this side works. But on the other hand...]
Perhaps.
