EVENT - The Rescue Team [Action - Mistralton]

[united_mods]

 It's been some time since the kidnapping at Nimbasa- however no longer will people simply sit by idly! Arriving in Mistralton comes a flock of flying types, carrying various people who have agreed to join along on a rescue effort!

...What do you mean Mistralton isn't the closest city to Dragonspiral Tower?

Regardless of preferences of travel, after word of the rescue effort gets out, mass orders to shut down the gyms of Unova and do their part are sent as well- from the current date until successful rescue, no challenges will be taken; though the stores are assuredly still running, which is good for the restocking rescue crew.

Perhaps they'll pick up some more people in this city? Perhaps not.

[[OOC - It's a mingle post everyone! You can tag to start your own thread, or tag someone else's thread, it's entirely up to you; for the moment, everyone a part of the rescue team, or in the Mistralton area as a whole, can tag- they won't be leaving the city in this post!]]

Sephiroth probably would have ignored the rescue efforts if he wasn't already in the city when people started showing up. He might go along... Depending on whether the group that gathers looks competent.

He seems indifferent to the preparations while he stands near the Pokémon center waiting. His Pokémon are quite a bit more interested though only two of them are outside their Poké balls. Minerva keeps jumping from his shoulder to the roof of the center and then back again while Fair is lurking nearby watching people.

[Sephiroth might have seen Subaru around town before, even if he had spent much of his time in the Pokemon center. As it is now, he's running back and forth between the center and the preparing groups, intent on joining the rescue efforts. Eventually he approaches Sephiroth with his own question: the man's been standing around this whole time, maybe he's seen who he's looking for.]

A...ano...can I ask you something?

[creepy_son_of_a]

Sephiroth didn't really expect anyone to speak to him. He doesn't appear bothered though... Not that it's easy to tell what he's feeling since he's had the same deadpan expression on his face for a while now. The Emolga on his shoulder is smiley and cheerful though.

"Certainly. What do you need?"

[ryuusei_subaru]

I'm looking for someone I was travelling with. Yuuma-kun, ah, I don't know if you've met him before. He's a few years older than me, with black and pink spiky hair, and red eyes...and very loud.

[Ahhahaha.]

Have you seen him around here? We're supposed to be leaving with the others soon, and knowing him, he's likely going to be late somehow if I don't find him...

[Haaah. Of course.]

[creepy_son_of_a]

"I don't believe I have but, perhaps Minerva can help you look." It would give her something to do besides crawl all over him at least. And she seems to be happy to help. With a cheerful squeak she jumps back to the roof and starts running around to see if she can spot Yuuma from there. If she sees him she might be likely to jump on his head though.

[ryuusei_subaru]

Ah, thank you! You didn't have to do that...

[Bashful, isn't he.]

[pickpocketangel]

[Don't mind the girl and her Lucario wandering about. Of course she wasn't about to stand by when there were people in trouble, so it's only naturally that she found her way to Mistralton, too. Lulu is keeping a keen lookout for any familiar faces in the crowd, as is Colette.]

[facedesk]

[And Hayami's split off from his friend for now, Kora walking at his heels like a guard dog (as per usual since catching the Timburr).
... Until he sees a familiar blond, anyway -]

C-Colette-san!

[Have a wave before he comes running up!]

[pickpocketangel]

Oh! [She knows that voice! Colette turns around happily upon hearing Hayami's voice, and the Lucario doing the same.]

Hayami, hello! [... Though Kora is getting a bit of a look from the Lucario. Why do you look so angry, little Timburr 8|]

[zeroyon]

[Hey don't look at him that way, he's actually in a good mood. It's not his face is permamad!!!]

It's g-good to see you in person, Colette-san... Are you here because of Iris-san's message, too?

[creepy_son_of_a]

"It's no trouble. Minerva enjoys being helpful." And they don't really have much else to do.

Minerva can be heard occasionally making a random noise as she hops around on the roof of the center while she tries to look in all directions.

[pickpocketangel]

[Could've fooled Lulu. He's been watching the network posts, okay 8|]

It's nice to see you, too. But yeah, I am! I can't stand by when others are in trouble, you know?

[running_gag]

Of course...! I wish I could say the same, though. I'm not as strong of a battler as everyone else, yet; I'm even behind the rest of my friends, even though I know the most about Pokemon...

[SIGH... And Lulu's getting a grump from Kora okay, he's in too good of a mood to let some Lucario ruin it!! His trainer's doing something brave and courageous!!!!]

... I'm really only coming to see if I can be a little help with supplies and information.

[And to see Cobalion up close, hopefully.]

[pickpocketangel]

Well, that's okay, too! Every bit of help... well, helps, ehehe! I'm not exactly much of a battler, myself. I don't even have a full team yet!

[ryuusei_subaru]

I see...

[He looks amused as hears the Emolga making noises, but then he looks up at Sepiroth with a curious expression.]

Are you coming to help the others too?

[running_gag]

Oh, well... you don't need a full team to be good at battling, Colette-san. Most Gym Leaders only have three or four...!

You even have a Lucario - that's a really good Pokemon, you know!

[Giving Lulu a smile, of course --]

[pickpocketangel]

[Lulu will take the compliment, but unlike some of Colette's other Pokémon, he won't let that go to his head.] Oh, Gracie evolved, too...!

[Wait, Hayami hasn't seen Gracie yet, has he.]

[running_gag]

Gracie?

[Nope, not yet.]

[pickpocketangel]

[And with that, out comes an Espeon, who winds herself around her trainer's legs before sitting.]

This is Gracie!

[running_gag]

O-oh! An Espeon!

[DO YOU SEE HIS EYES LIGHT UP
He's right over there now, kneeling down so he can be sort of eye level with the Psychic-type.]

How lucky, Colette-san...! One of the strongest of Eevee's evolutions, and the prettiest...!
They're hard to get, too - only evolving thanks to high friendship during the day!

thread jACK- also whoops i still need better icons

[aslla_jack]

As this entire conversation goes on, there is someone behind you Hamano.

In fact, he's been there quite some time, getting visibly fluffed and agitated the more you speak, until finally-

"OI! I was going to speak first!!"

Wow Jack, rood.

1/2

[naminoripiero]

My friend's talking to Colette, you're just going to have to wait!

[pickpocketangel]

[Yes, she does see his eyes light up and that just makes her really excited!]

Gizmo hasn't evolved yet though... and I need a Fire Stone for Holly...

[creepy_son_of_a]

Sephiroth's Absol decides to stop lurking to sit nearby and just stare at him expectantly. Sephiroth barely glances at him before responding to Subaru's question.

"Fair seems to believe I should." It's likely that he will. Icirrus City was his next destination anyway so, it doesn't really interrupt his plans.

[running_gag]

[... W-well, Hamano seems to... be taking care of whoever that is over there, so...]

Um - if you... need a fire stone, I could try and save up for one for you. Your Growlithe, right? An Arcanine would be a great addition to your team...!

[.... awawawa - Jack's kind of scary back there, hopefully Hamano will be okay...]
