If it hadn't been for Xion, Roxas might not have listened to that broadcast from Professor Oak. As seriously as he took his duties as a trainer, getting the badges and filling the pokedex, Roxas would have been content to sit this one out, staying in the hotel room until it was safe to come out.

But then Xion had fainted, and Roxas knew that he had to rescue her, and so steeling his courage, he went to the pokemon center and got as many of the pokeballs as he could. With his pokemon healed and Sparky on his shoulder, Roxas took a deep breathe and headed out to face the Shendinja.

[ooc: Roxas can be found in and around Olivine city, fighting Shedinja wherever he can with reckless attacks since he's kind of freaking out right now. Team up with him, bug him, do whatever you want]

[No no no, you're just looking for a reason to get your soul sucked, Mr. Get-freaked-out-by-ghosts D|

She's catching up to him, after leaving Xion with most of her pokemon that she's not using for battling.]

Roxas!

[Roxas stops when he hears Namine's voice. He figures he should keep going. He has to take out as many Shedinga as possible and why does this all feel so familiar, but never mind that.]

What?

I'm coming with you.

[And she pulls out her own pokeball, and calls.... a Togekiss. Looks like Salty finally reached her final evolution phase THAT'S A FOUR FEET TALL BIRD FLYING AFTER HER]

With all the broadcasts on the Pokegear with people suddenly collapsing and their Pokemon beginning to panic, Mac had grown more than a little concerned. Just when he was starting to get used to how bizarre Johto was, people started dropping left and right. His worry only grew following Professor Oak's announcement. Pokemon that were stealing souls?

Not something he could stand by and watch happen, especially if he could do something to help. Picking up some of Professor Oak's pokeballs from one of the carrier Pidgey, Mac and his Pokemon headed out to Route 32.

Challenging the gymleader would have to wait.

[So all they had to do was hit the Shedinja's weak points and catch them with the special balls, huh? That was easy enough. Especially considering the fact that he had plenty of pokémon easily capable of taking a type combo like ghost/bug.]

[This would be a breeze and Rose would be back to normal in no time...even if his mind was desperately telling him to go to sleep already. 48 hours, John. Why are you still awake? Too bad he had no intention of sleeping any time soon. Hell, he felt invigorated just standing out here about to fight all these bugs.]

[So let's see...weaknesses. He began running over the type chart in his mind. Ghost and dark, obviously. Being half bug type wouldn't cover up those glaring ghost weaknesses. And being half ghost wouldn't negate any of the bug weaknesses. So...fire, flying, and rock.]

Well alright then. [He threw four pokéballs into the air, releasing a Haunter, a Dunsparce, an Umbreon, and a Spiritomb. Apparently, somebody means business. Apparently, someone can also be quite the strategist when he's ( ... )

*Hayate had spent a good deal of his time before the announcement went up moping and calling people out of concern. It was one thing to have Rika and Yayoi safely tucked into beds with food waiting by their bedside should they come around after this hunt... But it was another entirely to have the knowledge that people he couldn't keep an eye on were out of it.

Even worse, he'd likely have no way to help them... Seriously, what were the odds the Shedinja holding Mammon or Cocona's soul was way over here in Cianwood? Pretty slim, if you asked him. ... not that anyone had.

For now, he would just settle on wandering about Cianwood to try and find any he could, his loyal Arcanine at his side.*

Mmm... Times like this are the times where I wish Proton Packs were real... I haven't seen a single Shedinja since I heard the message...

Hayate-- [ there's a duelist hurrying in his direction, Ninetales by her side. ] Have you been able to find any yet?

combat_butler June 19 2011, 21:35:37 UTC

--ah? No... I'd be toting around one of those ominous black balls in my hand if I had had any success.

primaduelerina June 20 2011, 01:16:04 UTC

I should have known they'd be difficult to track down...

Squalo was sick and tired of sitting around doing nothing. So when the broadcast came and so conveniently handed him a method and a target, he wasted no time, months worth of pent up frustration, rage and bloodlust needed to be aimed at something ( ... )
