Hey, this is Ragnarok. Let me finally fill you in on what happened while Tempest's group was in Brighton.
Before Kirlia beamed him away, Tempest had used the DSDex to find out where we needed to get to. We'd been pointed in the direction of the fitzwilliam museum, so we set off.
More and more people are noticing Pichu now, but most of Cambridge have seen, or at least heard about, our little group, so hardly anyone that saw him was surprised, and there were even a few cheers!
We arrived outside the museum, and saw Brock on the steps, overseeing a group of men in white coats carrying boxes and various bits of scientific equipment inside.
'Hey guys! Looks like there's nothing to worry about on this one. Meet the scientists, researchers, and experts of Pewter Museum. The main lab just came through one of those disturbances. '
I looked where he was pointing, and saw a large area of tiled floor lying at an angle on a grassy area next to the museum. Workbenches and shelves were strewn about, thrown by what had clearly been a crash landing.
'The nice folk here have offered us a room to set up in. We're hoping that both sides can learn a lot from this partnership. We want to learn more about your world, and we're going to share our research and technology from our world.'
We helped them move some of the stuff in, told them where they could get new beakers and jars (All the ones they had broke in the crash) and marveled at Happiny carrying a large machine inside all on her own. We saw that inside the Fitzwilliam now seemed much bigger, like the museums in the games, TARDIS-like, with far too much building inside to fit into the outside. Looks like Brock and his scientists would have plenty of room to work anyway.
We had just come out from being shown the new lab, and were heading down the steps, when a figure in a large black coat barged past me.
'Blackmage!'
'Move it losers! I have business to attend to in there.'
'Like what?'
'I need something....fixing. Now that there are more scientists here, there is a chance someone can help.'
He pulled the brim of his hat down, and continued up.
We were distracted from following him to investigate by our phones ringing. All three of our phones. At exactly the same time.
We all checked to see exactly the same message:
DANGER DANGER VHS FRIEND UNITS REQUIRED AT ONCE RAID IN PROGRESS
Porygon!'
We rushed off, and reached the street with our alley on just in time to see two people coming out of it. There was a man carrying Tempest's computer, and a woman dragging a net containing all Glaceon's siblings!
I could tell at once they were part of the same group as the man at our old school. They were both wearing black costumes with silver belts and shoes, and both had fin thing on their arms. The man had spiky white hair with a silver sweatband round his head, and the woman had silvery blue hair that ended in a point, a bit like Jessie's.
'Ha!' The man laughed. 'The fools! Off fighting in Brighton, while we take everything we need! Nobody can stop us now!'
'Yeah, you'd think, but no.'
'What!? What are you doing here!?'
'Seriously? There are seven of us. Did you really think we'd ALL go off to Brighton if two alerts went off at once?'
The woman jabbed the man in the ribs. 'Told you!'
'Then we shall just have to teach you a lesson about interfering!'
Hitching the computer under one arm, he pulled three balls from his pocket, opening them.
A stunky, a Poochyena, and an Ariados were released, as the woman released three of her own.
Zigzagoon, Numel and Qwilfish.
We sent out two each.Charmeleon leapt at Ariados, and Snover went for Qwilfish. Onix loomed over Numel, Pidgey dived at Zigzagoon, and Hitmonchan struck at Stunky. Poochyena was running at Riolu, who was looking at his first real opponent fearfully. Closing his eyes, he stuck a paw out in front of him defensively. Poochyena charged forwards, but as soon as the tip of it's nose had made contact with Riolu's paw, the paw glowed ever so slightly, and Poochyena was sent flying into a wall. Riolu opened one eye cautiously, and stared at what he'd done. Giving a little chuckle, he headed over to Poochyena to finish up.
Happiny had made her way over to the man. She stamped on his foot, and he let out a yell, dropping the computer. She caught it, and sped off towards the base. Pichu had run over to the net, and was trying to cut it open with Iron tail. The woman saw and snarled. 'Leave it, tiny!' She sneered, and kicked him. I let out a yell as he soared through the air, and leapt, catching him mid-flight, protecting him as we crashed to the ground. I got up, groaning.
'You sick cow! You're going to regret doing that!'
'Oh really? Why?'
'Because a pattern is emerging. Everytime someone is mean to Pichu-'
A red blur shot past, slamming her to the floor.
'- that happens.'
Ariados was lying collapsed in a corner, smoking. I fed Pichu a berry, and went to cut open the net. The Eevees and Eeveelutions rushed out, and helped finish the fight, including a heavy assault on the strange man. Like the women in brighton, they vanished in a ripple of pinkish points of light once they'd lost, along with Ariados and the others. What the hell is that anyway?
That's it really. Bye for now!
