Episode 1: A Stranger In Familiar!

[fallers_npcs]

Today on Melemele, there has been a strange and rash sequence of events!

Officer Jenny has been busy, as a series of thefts has been noted across the city. The wealthy industrialist Viren has been targeted several times with valuables relating to the Pokemon Groudon.

As researchers are coming into the town today to help work on the Ultra Hole situation, on invite of the Aether Foundation, it seems that someone might have slipped through into the town. A certain woman in green might have been spotted in several of Viren's locations before a theft has been seen.

Some people might be starting to get uneasy about the influx of people. Perhaps it's time to investigate some of these rumors that a thief might have made their way onto the island...

"Very well." Yotsuyu nodded to Lusamine. Gosetsu raced up to her heels, and she crouched to let the Oshawott know just what they were looking for.

Unsurprisingly, he took off like a shot and left his trainer to run after him, hiking up her skirts. Perhaps she ought to consider getting herself a sensible pair of trousers, after this...

Perhaps sensing something amiss, while Gosetsu does swiftly find his quarry--and leads Yotsuyu right to him--they both stop at the sight of what appears to be Brodie menacing a young girl.

Yotsuyu narrows her eyes and tilts her head at the man, but makes no sudden movements and says nothing. She might seem useless, but it's her mind that's going a malm a minute, trying to calculate some way to turn this situation to an advantage.

“Got it...!” Cure Beat said, nodding. With that, she used her form’s incredible power to catch up to the others, leaping and bounding herself over to where Reira and “Tracey” was, putting herself between the two.

This was going down the tubes real fast.

Real, real fast. And it seemed like everything was going to go real south real quick. "Excuse, but I wasn't... you know what? This whole situation is going down the tubes already." Replied "Tracey" as he tossed his sketchbook at the crowd that was growing and released a Golbat from its PokeBall.

"Let's see how you deal with things when everything goes topsy turvy! Golbat use Psychic!"

The Psychic attack targets the Pokemon of Spider-man, Sena, Cure Beat and Yotsuyu.

"That won't work against Shell!"

Gotta love that Wonder Guard, man. The Psychic attack just phases over it.

"Hurry and use Shadow Claw-!"

Shell hisses and darts over to the Golbat, trying to nail it in one go.

If Reira were the type, she'd blow a raspberry at this man right now from around Cure Beat. Instead however as she looks around she frowns. Reira doesn't have a pokemon. Reira has an egg. Everyone else has a pokemon, and they're doing things, but that's not doing her much good either. So Reira thinks to herself, 'What would Niisama do?'

...Well, frankly her brother would probably either talk his way out, bluff his way out, or just not be here.

...

What would Kurosaki-niisan do?

There are no more words. Or thoughts, actually. Reira just scoots around Cure Beat as fast as her teeny tiny legs can take her and balls her equally teeny tiny hands into fists.

And slams one squarely at the man across from her, entirely unaware that she's hit possibly the most vital spot in her reach.

"Hmph!"

Take That, Mister Liar.

Peter watches as the Pokemon battle for about two seconds before he just sort of rolls his eyes. They've got some cool moves but they seem to be missing the big picture here.

"Alright, that's about enough of this-you have the right to-Oh man!" He winces in sympathy because ow, that had to hurt. Yikes.

"Uh... that's rough buddy." He fires his webs but his slight distraction seems to have messed with his aim, luckily though it seems like it's gonna turn out okay as Brodie falls right into the webs.

"Well.... sure."

Yotsuyu was, briefly, more worried about the strike that had caught Gosetsu, but truly, could anyone miss that punch?

A grown man, being taken out by a small child. He ought to be ashamed of himself.

She just gathered her Oshawott up, tucking him in his proper spot in the crook of her arm, and looked rather amused. This had all worked out to her satisfaction, so why should she not be smug?

RAID BATTLE COMPLETE!

Brodie sunk to his knees, covered in webs as he collapsed. "Taken.. out... by the stupidest things..." he groaned, before collapsing in pain.

Quickly, the authorities arrived as Jenny pulled up, Ash behind her as Jenny frowned. "Captured, one Brodie. Good job everyone. Thank you for your timely assistance."

As the police officers carted him away in handcuffs, she smiled to everyone. "Thank you everyone for your assistance. Without your help, we could have suffered a lot more damage. It would have been more than a disaster. Alola owes everyone here a debt of gratitude."

"Indeed," said Lusamine. "You all did well. To this end, the Aether Foundation will be providing you all with more resources in the future, and more updates on our progress. Be noted there will be gifts for you come the morning."

Jenny smiled. "Everyone, off to bed with you. I think tonight's been an eventful day."

Lusamine nodded. "When tomorrow comes, I hope to ask each and every one of you, to come join our response team. The Ultra Guardians, in times of need. Till then, rest well."
