This is the place (Jay, Mod)

[Daci]

The Cacnea was hit hard by the Flamethrower and instantly feinted. Apparently, it wasn't very powerful. Some thorns were still left in Adrian's backside.

Meanwhile the Electrike was thrown back by the Iron Tail and looked up, surprised, as the Flygon suddenly attacked him. What had he done?! He growled at the Flygon and used Flamethrower at it. That would show it for randomly attacking him! He didn't understand what he'd peed on, actually.

[Ethereal]

Adrian's rage was only slightly appeased by the cacnea's easy defeat. She grumbled angrily about how vile the creature was then felt her rump gingerly. It was sore and there were a few needles still imbedded in her skin. She would have to pick them out one by one later. Adrian was not looking forward to that tedious task which she would obviously have to do on her own. It would just be far too humiliating to ask another person to do it. Her fingertips located a spine and tugged at it until it lost it's grip on her butt. There were others where that came from and she would have to find every last one before sitting on her motorcycle.

With that indignity still upon her, she glanced over to the battle between Faya and the electrike. She could just let the flygon take care of it then claim the pokemon after.
"Yue," She called after him, "Tell your flygon to stand down when its finished with the electrike. I'd like to capture it."

[Jay]

The Flygon smirked and dodged the flamethrower with ease before unleashing a Fire Blast far more powerful than the flamethrower had been straight at the Electrike. But she wasn't done. No. Far from it. The Flygron followed suit her own Fire Blast and then went straight into Dragon Claw ready to tear straight into the Electrike. She wanted to tear his head straight off and would possibly do so. A terrible morbid grin was wrung on her face like some great death pokemon.

Yue turned his head at Adrian's call and smiled lightly. He had taken a few steps towards the lab but had turned back to see that Faya was already going for the kill. "Faya love," he called lightly. "Let the Duchess capture the Electrike when you're done with your fun." he mused lightly. Faya appeared not to pay attention, but she had indeed heard him and was not about to disobey Alias. With that, Yue turned back and started towards the lab again. "When you're done outside, come look around the lab. I'll be waiting," he grinned before starting further towards it.

[Daci]

The Electrike snorted as the Flygon dodged his attack. Stupid bug. He would show it!... The Electrike blanched a bit as the Flygon used Fire Blast... So, it used Protect and protected itself from the Fire Blast attack without harm. But then the Dragon Claw came straight at him. He scrambled frantically to move away but the sand was just too... sandy. He slipped and the Dragon Claw grazed his shoulder. He grunted in pain, before seeing that the Flygon had instantly put herself close to him.

He leapt into the air, aiming to use a Crunch attack straight on her back leg. If he could hold on to her hind leg after the attack, all the better.

[Ethereal]

Adrian was happy to have someone else take care of the dirty work. Some things she liked to do on her own, like torturing those special individuals that deserve it or ruling over her domain, but for these kinds of jobs she preferred to sit back. The duchess looked toward her two pokemon that were still at her side.

Legacy looked a bit bored yet surprised to see another dragon. Of course, flygons were off a lower class of dragon than she, but they were still of the same noble breed. Seeing as she had no job to do at the present time, the salamence laid down and yawned. The desert was hot at this time of day and she loved to warm her scales.
"Legacy," When her trainer called her name the salamence raised her head, "Return to your pokeball." Adrian beamed the pokemon back to its resting place then addressed her tauros. She had thought about the planks of wood that blocked the entrance and decided that her pokemon's strength could be used to push obstacles out of the way.

"And Valencia," The bull pokemon was restlessly watching the battle. He wanted to join and dominate the electrike. Last time Faya had taken over the battle, so he wanted to show off his skills. His horned skull turned toward his mistress when she spoke, "Go help Yue get inside the lab." Finally he could use his muscles for something. The bull nodded, <Si senora> then trotted after the man.

[Jay]

Faya smirked deviously before suddenly using a Double Team and dodging the Crunch Attack with ease. Suddenly releasing another Dragon Claw, the female Flygon slashed straight towards the Electrike with what could only be described as a satanic smile embraced on her lips.

Surprised to find the bull pokemon coming over to him, Yue smiled a bit and then looked at the boards holding fast the entrance to the factory. "If you would," Yue grinned a bit. "But be careful. There might still be some equipment inside." With that, the white haired man stepped back and awaited to see through the operations of the pokemon.

[Daci]

The Electrike was beginning to get annoyed and bored that none of his attacks were hitting. He easily dodged her Dragon Claw, before running up to Adrian, making a quadrupedal bow at her feet. "Electrike! Trike!" He growled, basically swearing his fealty to her as long as she caught him now. "Trike..." Because he wanted to be away from the "incompetent" Flygon.

Meanwhile, a lone Pokemon was watching from behind a corner of wall. She'd been watching for quite some time. She'd always heard about the Shadow Pokemon. She had, after all, been born here. It looked like these people wanted something to do with the place. If so... "Orb!" She... trilled. She rolled out from behind the wall and right in front of Yue. "Voltorb!" The Voltorb cried. She wanted to be made into a Shadow Pokemon, apparently, and in return would help power the machines here.

[Ethereal]

Valencia sniffed arrogantly then stood in front of Yue. The man should step aside and just let him work. He was a thorough-bred and did not need some human telling him what to do (unless that human was Adrian). The beast swung his great horns and propped one underneath the board. With his horn secure on the wood, the tauros pulled back and the barrier flew off. With that one taken care of, Valencia moved onto its mate and used the same tactic.

Adrian looked down at the electrike with her characteristic half-smile. She crossed her arms over her chest and clicked her tongue.
"Well, aren't we eager?" She said in a slightly condescending tone. Regardless, she was pleased and took a waiting pokeball from her bag. She lightly tossed the pokeball down at the electric dog and waited for it to settle.

[Jay]

Faya's eye twitched, and the satanic smile was replaced with something unreadable to say the least of things. AGAIN??? She let out a very irritated hiss. Despite what Yue had said, she had had the intention of killing the little vermin right then and there. Yet what did he do? Go beg for life! Breathing inwards, the Flygon released a Dragon Breath attack aimed solely away from the lab. If it hit anything or anyone for that matter, said one would be dead. Raising a claw, the Flygon tore at the sand and found herself in a complete and utter rage. She hated it! Hated it! She wanted to kill something or make it suffer to the point that it begged for death and when the time was right THEN kill it. But no... she was robbed of it! Robbed! Screaming out her aggression, the Flygon turned her head ready to snap at anyone or anything.

Yue stared down at the Voltorb who appeared to be addressing him and said nothing for a moment. Happy had already made her way inside as quick as she possibly could. The white haired man sighed before looking back at the Voltorb. "Well hello, dear," he grinned a bit. "Would you like to see my future?" If the electric orb pokemon tried to attack, he would attack. Yet if the pokemon made no harm, he was apathetic. Hearing Faya's screams of aggression, Yue turned his head and sighed outwards with a light smile on his face. "Faya,dear, if you're that angry, go out a bit and kill something. You can come back to the lab later, if you want." The Flygon turned her head wearing the sudden satanic smile on her face. In half a second, she exploded into the air and took off towards the endless sand.

[Daci]

As the Pokeball was aimed at him, the Electrike turned around one last time and stuck his tongue out at the Flygon. He most certainly didn't like her. Then he was sucked inside of the containment ball, which twitched only once, then bleeped.



Name: *you choose*
Species: Electrike
Gender: Male
Ability: Lightningrod
Personality: Somewhat stubborn, this creature can be described as lazy sometimes. He is prone to peeing on random creatures, though none of them are ever female, interestingly. He especially likes to play embarrassing pranks on people. He has issues with taunting things much bigger then he is.

The Voltorb rolled around Yue with nothing short of eagerness. She wanted to be captured! Yes! She rolled into the Pokemon lab after Happy, smiling hugely. She wanted to be a Shadow Pokemon! Was she going to be? Oh she hoped so!

Meanwhile, out in the desert. There was a large cactus sitting up in the middle of it. It opened one eye- wait, a cactus with eyes? I think not! No, it was a Cacturne, and it was just standing there with it's arms out. It literally looks like a Cactus... with eyes. Anyway, when it heard the Flygon coming it's way, it opened one of it's eyes and looked up at her, wondering what she would do.

~~~
I have a great idea. -evil grin-

[Ethereal]

Adrian bent down and scooped up the pokeball. The easy capture brightened her mood, as did having the factory open. She looked over to the building with its now welcoming entrance. She wondered how long it would take for Yue to start making shadows for her. The for her part was most emphasized in the duchesses thoughts. If Alias so much as thought about making shadow pokemon for anyone else, well, Adrian would be very unhappy.

From within her bag the duchess felt the faint hint of movement. She opened the bag at her hip and looked inside. Adrian was unsurprised to see that it was the pokeball of her houndoom causing the commotion. She took hold of the pokeball and maximized it to fit her palm. The duchess knew how much her pokemon missed being wild and having that freedom, so she tried to keep Adelina happy by letting her out every once in a while. Adrian pressed the small center button on the pokeball, freeing the shiny houndoom.

Adelina appeared at her mistresses side, relieved to be out of her confinement. How she detested being trapped inside the pokeball, but at least her trainer was kind enough to give her a repose from the torment. Adelina was content to travel at the duchesses side, so long as she could breathe the fresh air and stretch her legs.

Adrian patted her houndoom on the head, just behind the curved horns. Adelina had quickly become one of her favorites and she hardly minded having her out of the pokeball as a companion.
"Come." She commanded and began walking toward Yue and the door of the factory. Obediently, the pokemon followed.

Adrian stood beside her partner and looked into the factory.
"Shall we?" She asked before taking the first step into the abandoned building. The houndoom followed close on her heels.

Valencia snorted as he took in the dimensions of the door. He would not be able to fit in there. The bull pokemon turned and trotted over to a shaded spot. He would stand guard while his trainer was inside the factory.

[Jay]

Satanism was taking on a new form within the Flygon as she flew out as far as the eye could see. Her wings beat and buzzed in the air as she went faster through the area. She was high up and away from the sand, yet she could see everything. What caught her eye was a cactus at first, yet in another moment, she reconfigured this thought and understood it to be a Cacturne. Hello lovely..... An overly bright look encompassed itself on the Flygon's face as she breathed inwards, flew up a fraction higher, and then breathed out a flamethrower straight at the Cactus pokemon.

DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE! she laughed out with a cynical twisted laugh all her own. She wouldn't stop there! No! It was too kind, and the Flygon was not about to let it go. Taking in another breath, she spewed more and more flames towards the ground. She'd burn it all! EVERY LIVING THING WOULD DIE!

Yue looked at the Voltorb one more second before finally smiling lightly and holding out a fresh pokeball. "If you want to come, then come," he answered back resizing the pokeball before throwing it at the sphere pokemon. Upon hearing Adrian, the white haired man turned his head and grinned sharply with an almost maniac look in his eye. Yes! ANd it shall begin again! Master... it shall begin again... Master Ein will be so proud of me.. wherever he is... And I will correct the problems of happiness pokemon evolution in shadow form! I will do it my master! I will! The Happiny looked at her master in horror for half a second seeing the terrifying look in his eye. She 'eep'd a fraction before starting to run into the lab hoping that it would give Yue a chance to calm down. Yue turned his head and shot a smile at Adrian. "This will be most fun," he grinned.

[Daci]

The Voltorb was absorbed immediately into the Pokeball. It didn't even twitch. Nothing like an excited Voltorb to be caught easily.



Name: *you choose*
Species: Voltorb
Gender: Genderless. Acts like a Female.
Ability: Soundproof
Personality: This Voltorb is eager, and probably slightly evil. She likes to zap her friends, but also to give off strong electrical bursts. She is cunning and loves to make deals that benefit her. Her dream is to be a Shadow Pokemon.

Out in the desert, the Cacturne leapt up in surprise as a Flamethrower was shot at it. He dodged to the side as fast as he could, but it was not to be. The Flamethrower burned a large part of the top of his head-hat(y'know, the thing he has on top of his head.) and he cried out in pain. He started dancing around as if he was bow-legged. Oh, this Cacturne was no ordinary Cacturne...

~~~
Then again, the Pokemon I mod almost NEVER are ordinary Pokemon

[Ethereal]

Adrian ignored her partner's somewhat creepy smile. She couldn't blame him for being excited, she was too. They even had a power source now thanks to the voltorb, and perhaps her electrike if one electric type pokemon wasn't enough. Things were going according to plan and she felt confident that soon enough she would be in control of an army of shadow pokemon. With that in her arsenal, the duchess would be an unstoppable force and she could take Era by storm. Adrian recalled that Cipher had made legendary shadows and she longed to know what happened to them. If she could get her hands on them, well that would make her goals even easier to accomplish.

The duchess continued into the factory. The floors were linolium, with old and new sand littered around. She supposed that some of it was her own doing. It was dark, but she could see glimpses of light fighting their way in from behind the blocked-up windows. Valencia could take care of those later. There was a clear glass elevator not far from where they were and Adrian wondered if it still worked.

"Where do you think we should start?" Adrian turned to the man behind her.

[Jay]

Even as Adrian had started talking, Yue let out a squeal of delighta dn was already running around in the area. "Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. YES!" he laughed hugging the elevator oddly. He could have been a child in a candy store for the way he was acting.

His hand caressed the elevator a fraction, and once again the creepy smile seemed to take into more affect in his features. His hand ran along the buttons of the elevator. It had, for the most part, been built nearly like the other one, and he knew which buttons led to which area. The question was if it worked or not....He pressed a buttong and waited. Happy, believing that her trainer was finally becoming a happy person for good, let out a lightly laugh. She was happy to see he was happy.

Faya smirked to herself and dropped lower towards the ground readying a Dragon Claw attack in order to continue bashing the Cacturn. She was finally having fun! So much fun!

[Daci]

The Cacturne smirked at the Flygon. She thought she was going to win... In fact, though, battling wasn't even on the Cacturne's mind. No, he was scoping out Faya. She was a majestic beast. Perhaps... "Cacturne!" He shouted, jumping into the air and onto the Flygon's back. He raised one hand in the air as he held on. " 'turne!" He shouted, which translated into yeah! Suddenly, a themesong came to his mind.

Oh who lived in the harsh desert
Sittin' all day and chippin' away?

Cowboy Cacturne Yippee Yippee Yeah!

~~~
More verses coming soon...

[Ethereal]

Adrian could see that her accomplice was very happy to be inside the lab - very, VERY happy. She shook her head slowly, wondering if he would calm down anytime soon. The duchess smoothed down her hair and thought of putting it up. Adrian dismissed that idea and decided that she would take a nice bath when she returned to her palace.

The houndoom which sat at her trainer's side greatly disapproved of the situation. This man was running around when there was a serious matter at hand! The shiny pokemon looked up to her mistress's face. Why wasn't she doing anything? She needed to put the male in his place. Well if Adrian wasn't going to do it, then she would. Adelina stood up and growled angrily.
<Stop this foolishness, human.> She commanded harshly.

((OOC: Love the cacturne, Daci.))

[Jay]

Faya's eyes turned to slits, and in half a second, she was flying up. Straight up. Vertical to the point that she was staring straight up at the sky and appeared to be a green bullet being shot in the air. IN less than half a second, she had reached over half a mile in the sky, and she wasn't about to stop. Not a chance. She continued up, and in a few more seconds, she was three miles up and entering the ozone layer. She thought of lack of oxygen but had already thought up a plan.

As she twisted around, the Flygon spun in circles in the air going an easy three hundred and sixty degrees over and over and over again before dropping herself a few hundred feet and then exploding back upwards once again vertical before spinning down and twisting all the way. She twisted around and continued this pattern before finally breaking into an area with so little oxygen, she even found a strain in it. Twisting her body, Faya slammed her wings harder and flew completely upside down remaining there and waiting for the Cacturn to fall off.

Yue looked at the Houndoom and grinned lightly before giggling to himself and watching the elevator open. His one red eye opened wider as he quickly stepped inside. "I wonder if the machines are still there... or if they're working for that matter.... no matter I can fix them!" he said aloud in an extremely happy mood. "Then... then... then...." His thoughts were doing backflips on the ideas that were parading through his mind like cheesy old cartoons.

[Happy Alias is scary ._.]

[Daci]

Cacturne held one with all his might, and had almost no trouble breathing as they got higher. He was a cactus, after all. He was a plant, so to speak, so he had lots of oxygen to spare. And he could take it directly from the air.

Truth be told, Cacturne was enjoying the ride. Yeah! Ride 'em cowboy! He shouted, waving his hand in the air as the Flygon went through twists and turns. Oh yes, this was just too much fun.

Cowboy Cacturne Yippee Yippee Yeah!

Back in the lab, in the elevator Yue was just entering, there was scratches all over the Elevator walls, and a large hole, looking like it was chewed, blown or clawed open. Something might be up through that hole... What exactly?

[Ethereal]

Before the elevator doors closed, Adrian slipped inside with Adelina on her heels. She looked around then up where Yue's gaze was located. That hole was odd to say the least. If the elevator didn't work, then that was surely the reason why - or, you know, the whole not having power thing.
"What do you think made that?" She asked aloud. Alias seemed to be off in his own little world, so Adrian was mainly speaking to her pokemon.

Adelina was skeptical about being in a closed space with the male that behaved so strangely. She did not take well to freaks or oddities, which she was sure Yue was. The hound couldn't possibly climb up to the mysterious hole, so instead she fired a thin stream of fire up into it. Adelina was careful not to burn her mistress, but if Alias was hurt in the process, she couldn't care less.
