This is War(privet rp)

[Dragon Gal]

Ash watched the bird step away, assuming she was meant to follow. She was a little surprised when the other Rogue took a pace forward, too, but held her tongue. He seemed to be able to understand it. Maybe he'd been told to follow.
Fido's ball shook, a sign that her Mightyena was ready if she needed him.

"I'm not asking you to leave your father. I would never ask that. I'm asking you to leave the base. We can't stay here. We all know that. I'm gonna leave, and I'm gonna take everyone I can with me. I know being a rogue or in Magma isn't any good, but you know it's better than this.
Remember a few years ago? That Trainer did it; we can too! Maybe we'll even survive. Alicia, please, come with me. I'll get your father and Kaiba to come, too. They're not even a part of Cosmo's schemes- they're medics! It'll keep us all safe. Please!"

[Whistle.Concert]

Leon put a hand to his ear, wincing slightly. His translator was giving off a rather high pitched whine, and it was starting to give him a headache.
Oh well. He shrugged it off, following after the elderly Pidgeot. He moved next to his rouge 'friend' again. "The elderly bird is Pidget. She belonged to the Bosses late husband."

~
"He'll be back soon.."
A ninetales sat by itself, staring out into the near endless expanse of desert. He had been there for a few days now, not moving a muscle.
He had to wait for his trainer, you see, and his trainer had not returned yet.

~
Alicia looked down at the ground. "I'll need to think about it a little while..." She responded slowly, her mind ticking as she thought about her options. There was always a chance they could make it, it was true. But there was also a chance things could end up even worse. "..Maybe we could try speaking to my father; see what he thinks. I mean...Aqua can't run well without it's medics..."

[Dragon Gal]

The rogue shot a concerned glance at Leon, nodding as he spoke. He kept his eyes trained on the bird and the girl walking next to it, trying to judge whether she was listening in. Well, she's a rogue. She looks worse than I do. Of course she's listening!
"She seems loyal," he said carefully, "willing to fly people even in her later years..."
He put a hand on the boy's shoulder, mostly just to stop him for a second. "Hey. Are you okay?"

The other rogues knew they were on the right track- the Trainer had sent his Misdreavous ahead to scout, knowing it could stay hidden, in case it's appearance jeapordised their comrades position. Nevertheless, the electrician had stopped. He'd been given the translator, since the Trainer could understand his own Pokemon well enough without the gadget, and had wondered about the Ninetales the ghost had mentioned.
"It's just sitting on it's own?"
"C'mon, man, do you wanna help our pickpocket or not?"
"We know where he's headed. We can catch up. I wanna help this Pokemon. Maybe it'll help us, who knows. I'm going."
He headed in the direction the Misdreavous had come from, shifting Roy in his arms, trying to make both him and the little boy more comfortable.
After a few seconds, the Trainer caught up and murmured, "Let me take him."

Damn. He'd wanted to get one of this family on side, not have to convince them both. Still, this was progress in the right direction, even if it was small. He nodded. "Let's go get you patched up."

[Whistle.Concert]

"Fine.." Leon said, quickly unclipping the translator from around his ear and shoving it in his pocket. "Sometimes the translators play up a bit; it makes a high pitched buzz, nothing to worry about."
He watched the elderly bird stand by the door, tapping her beak to the side of it, making it open. "I have no idea how old that bird actually is, but she's pretty chill. I've never seen her get mad, even when her trainer died."

~
Alicia nodded, taking her glasses off and examining the damage. She scowled, glad that she never usually wore the stupid things anyway. At least now she had a reason to not wear her glasses.
"I'm sure we can convince him and Kaiba. Or his Marowak..."

~
The Ninetales was not aware that he had been watched, and was not aware that people wee now heading in his direction. The nine tailed fox Pokemon lay down, resting his head on his front paws.
"He'll be back in no time...He promised."

[Dragon Gal]

The rogue nodded vaguely. He wasn't Team; he'd never used a headset. The Trainer had inside knowledge about them, so he'd picked up some of that, but it was hard to remember sometimes that other people relied on them. He was so used to understanding, he forgot that others' couldn't.
He noticed that the girl had slowed her pace a little- probably wanted to be near other people, and she'd looked down when Leon mentioned the dead trainer. So, she had been listening.

"We can try," he answered. Did Alicia's inclusive language just then mean she was on board? He hoped so. If she's not, her loss, he thought, heading towards the infirmary.

The electrician had paused when they'd gotten in sight range of the fox Pokemon. "It looks... sad. What do you think it's doing?"
"It looks like it's waiting for something."

[Whistle.Concert]

Pidget gave a small smile, walking into the base. "My trainer was a great man. Well, I suppose you wouldn't think so, not being from a team, but he was intelligent. Both he and the Madame know that you catch more Beautiflies with honey than with vinegar.."
Her head crest raised a little bit, and her demeanor seemed to become a little brighter. "It was his idea to set up a little 'holiday idea' in the ruins of Lavaridge town. A lot of effort went to carrying supplies and tools there and back.."

~
Alicia followed after him, stumbling a little bit. Okay, maybe she did need her glasses...But they were broken, so what could she even do about it?
What would happen if her father did agree? Would he agree?
Part of her really did want to get out of here...
"If I were to leave..Would I be able to take my Pokemon with me?" She asked.

~
"Hmm?" The cream coloured Pokemon raised his head, his superior hearing and sense of smell having allowed him to detect that he had company.
Oddly enough, he did not get up and try to act defensively. He would not fight if he didn't have to. Besides, he had to conserve his energy, so he could hunt when his trainer returned.

[Dragon Gal]

Ash cocked her head, and released Justin. Her Treecko blinked in the light, climbing to sit around her waist like he'd seen Kody do once. Where is that Grovyle?
Ash petted her Pokemon, murmuring, "I need you to translate, okay?" She glanced back at a slight shuffle, realising the young man had moved back a few paces, placing the Magma grunt between her and himself. She gave him a small shrug and a tiny smile. "I'm not going to attack you. You can understand Pokemon. My Treecko translates for me."

He turned back in time to see her stumble, and moved to walk by her side, offering her his arm, much as the gentlemen in old-fashioned movies did. "Your Pokemon? Of course! No one gets left behind, if I can help it. I'll get the message to as many people as I can. If they choose to come, then they and their Pokemon if they want, can all come with us."
Of course, he knew it wouldn't be that easy. Some would be left behind, no matter what he did. But he'd try and protect everyone, even if he needed to fight to do it.

"It heard us," the Trainer murmured.
"Really? It doesn't look like it..."
"Nah, it did. Look, it's looking up. Why isn't it doing anything...?"
The electrician shrugged. "Maybe it's waiting to see what we do?"
The Trainer nodded, calling his Misdreavous to him. It floated nearby his head, and the men approached the fox Pokemon slowly.

[Whistle.Concert]

They were heading over? Oh. Okay.
The fox pokemon sat up, curling his nine tails around his paws, so they hid the front part on his body. It looked like a rather defensive move, defending his vital areas from bodily harm.

~
Alicia nodded, gladly taking his arm. "I just thought I wouldn't be able to take him because he needs water to move around. I could keep him in his ball most of the time, I suppose.."
Se shivered slightly as they got closer to the infirmary, and she could hear the familiar humming that meant her father's Marowak was in the room.

~
Pidget looked back. "Now now, young man.." She addressed the rouge, craning her head so she could look at him. "There is no current need for alarm. You are with a Pokemon closely associated with the boss; the only way to be safer would to be with the boss herself."

[Dragon Gal]

"Slower," the Trainer warned, putting out an arm to stop the electrician. The other man nodded, so he glanced at his Misdreavous. "Back a little."
The ghost obeyed, and they continued their approach, at nearly half the speed they'd been going. They were not going to risk provoking this creature into an attack.

Damn, he was an idiot. He was Aqua, and he hadn't thought about moving the water types around. "Maybe keeping the water-bound ones in their ball would be best..." things like a Squirtle or a Vaporeon could walk on land, but a Horsea? A Goldeen? How were they going to get those species' out?
He rubbed Alicia's back as she shivered, also recognising the mark of that strange Marowak. He knocked briefly, then opened the door a crack.

The pickpocket nodded to the Pidgeot. "I don't dispute that, and I thank you for the blanketed protection. However, and I'm sure this young lady can back me up here, being with any Team members, even ones who offer no threat, makes a rogue uncomfortable." He paused, glancing at the girl, before he continued. "And I can speak from personal experience when I say other Rogues often pose the biggest threat. I'm not too comfortable around them, either."
The girl's Treecko glared at him, but she just nodded and looked away, muttering "And I'm just too tired to care."

[Whistle.Concert]

The Ninetales watched them for a little longer, before losing interest. He went back to scanning the desert expanses, hoping to see his trainer over the horizon, perhaps seeing the human's silhouette against the setting sun. The cream fox Pokemon's ears flicked back as there was still no sign, but he would not give up hope. Not yet, anyway.

~
Silvia was sitting on one of the beds, humming softly as she watched Kaiba work. "Question: Where is our master?"

"He's not in right now. He has to handle the Kyogre. You know, the thing that causes all the big floods? Yeah. It's having a tantrum."

The Marowak's eyes narrowed slightly, and she gave Kaiba a warning growl. "Request: We do not mention the floods..."
She looked up as she heard a knock. "Requesting confirmation: Who enters?"

~
"Very well." Pidget responded, looking back at the way she was walking. "You will be given a quiet spot away from the other members of the base, if that is what you wish. You will be supplied with a light meal for now, to avoid any digestive upsets, and you will be given a warm place to sleep. The sun is setting, and it would not be ideal to spend the night outside."
