Topic: Aloha AOHA! ALPHA OMEGA HOENN ADVENTURE!

"Thank you very much, and yes I do~" Goh responded, visibly irritated by her own charade. "You wouldn't happen to know the identity of the brilliant mind behind Team Fauna, would you?"

[Dr. Wily II]

"Sorry, that information is confidential. This call center is just a subsidiary, and is not involved Team Fauna. We are just here to spread the word of Team Fauna's beliefs. Thank you for calling us today, goodbye."

The call disconnected, the officer clearly sounded a bit hurt near the end of the conversation.

[Quickman]

Illana glanced up. "How'd it go?  I heard Rustboro U."

[Sapphire Knight]

Goh growled and handed the phone back to Illana. "Yeah, Rustboro U. But it's only an information booth. Unless one of their higher ups is working there as a professor, it's going to be a while before there will be much action."

[Dr. Wily II]

"Sounds like a typical plot." Gai chimed in.

"So I take it you'll still be heading over there?"

[Quickman]

"Maybe we'll get lucky?" Illana shoved the phone back in her pocket.  "The uni's a big place, you know.  Stuff went down at Lilycove U a while back, I heard.  Wasn't here at the time.  I was in Kalos, setting my Absol up to stud."

[Sakura Leic]

(I almost want to make Sakura appear briefly as a shadowy cryptic mentor archtype in a stupid outfit now.)

[Dr. Wily II]

(DO EEEEEEEEEEEET

Bonus points for Zinnia's outfit. )

[Quickman]

(Don't forget to save your dad from those Zigzagoon! )

[Sapphire Knight]

"Yeah, still going there because it's the only lead there is right now." Goh said, lightly patting her saddened skarmory. "Don't worry girl, we'll play fetch later." She promised, turning back to Illana and Gai. "So, who's coming along?"

[Sakura Leic]

(Okay fine.)

"You most certainly will fine something at Rustboro University." A mysterious figure in a Zekrom themed cloaked suddenly said from behind the group.  Only the bottom half of her face was visable "That place has an unfortunate history of hiding many a dark secret, even the Gym Leader frequently bemoans how such things happen without her notice."

[Dr. Wily II]

(Don't forget to save your dad from those Zigzagoon! )

(In his own lab even. )

"Sure, why not?" Gai said.

"It was getting bit boring after doing the same day everyday like some NPC... This might be exciting, I gue- WOA!"

Gai jumped at the sudden appearance of another new person.

[Quickman]

Illana also jumped. "Thanks for scaring the snot outta me!"

She calmed her breath and looked to Goh. "I'm with you.  I wanna know what's going on.  I've heard all sorts of stuff, and it's really hard to separate fact from fiction, you know?"

[Sakura Leic]

"Yeah...I have a tendency to do that...a lot." The figure admitted with a shrug "People are way too easy to intimidate.  Just look at how easily these people fall for Fauna's bullshit with some anarchy and pretty, but stupid, words.  Then again that's what happens when you're dealing with something that is unknown, even as something as harmless as this mono disease can be twisted into something people can fear."

[Dr. Wily II]

"But... Who are you? You seem pretty knowledgeable about these things, even Roxanne at a personal level."

Gai eyed the newcomer cautiously.

[Sakura Leic]

"My name...is not important, you may refer to me as simply Z if you like." Z shrugged. "As for how I know all this I cannot reveal why at the moment."

[Sapphire Knight]

Goh turned to the cloaked woman. "You seem to know about what's going on." She said, crossing her arms. "You're one of those people who can only give help through vague advice, aren't you?" Goh asked, already knowing the answer as she looked to her traveling party. "By the way, any of you got your own flying pokemon? Platinum can only carry one person on her back at a time. Anyone else would have to hang from her talons by their armpits."

[Sakura Leic]

"Hmmm would an Aerodactyl work?  He's very fast though I must warn you." Z stated "By the way what is you name?"

[Quickman]

Illana pulled a Poke Ball from her bag. "I got a Zubat."

She released the Zubat and it fluttered about.  "Oi!  It's about time y'let me outta 'ere!  I 'aven't had a cramp in me wing that bad since me ex-girlfriend Articuno decided t' Play Rough!"

[Sakura Leic]

Z stared at the Zubat and sweat dropped.

"Your Zubat had a physical relationship with an Articuno?" Z asked blankly.

[Quickman]

Illana shrugged. "I guess."

"An' she was a bloody ice queen!" Zubat fluttered around some more before coming to a rest on Illana's shoulder.

[Sakura Leic]

(Shouldn't she be surprised about the fact that she can understand Pokemon speak?)

[Quickman]

(Illana's not surprised by much.)

[Sapphire Knight]

Goh gave the zubat an odd look before turning to Z. "My name is Godiva Graves, but I answer to Goh." She introduced to the cloaked woman. "An aerodactyl could work for them if they haven't had any bad experiences with one."

[Sakura Leic]

Illana shrugged. "I guess."

"An' she was a bloody ice queen!" Zubat fluttered around some more before coming to a rest on Illana's shoulder.

"Interesting, to be honest even though I have encountered many a Legendary I have never met Articuno myself." Z stated. "I have known someone who befriend Zapdos but Articuno sounds very different from him."

Goh gave the zubat an odd look before turning to Z. "My name is Godiva Graves, but I answer to Goh." She introduced to the cloaked woman. "An aerodactyl could work for them if they haven't had any bad experiences with one."

"Goh, huh." Z noted "I like your style kid, reminds me of myself many years ago when I first started.  But am I correct to assume you don't have a phone?"
