I entered the town with my hood up and my eyes fixated on the Pokemon Center. Entering, I waited seemingly patiently for a turn at the PC. In truth, I was as impatient as one could be. I was angry, tired, and anxious to move out. Tonight was my first night in the city and I needed to make use of it. I also needed to speak with Caligula because I couldn't have him mad at me forever. I needed a surefire way to get him on speaking terms with me. Finally, I was able to reach the PC. There, I noted the Meowth, Bronzor, Sneasel, and Pokemon Egg in my personal box. An Egg? The systems in this world were just as bad as the ones on Tohea. I shook my head and removed all of them from my box. Just in case someone was watching, I put three empty Pokeballs onto the scanner and turned it on. Before the beams of light hit my empties, I slid them into my bag and walked away. No one would be the wiser that I had a few extras on my team.

I then had to wait in line again for the healing services. I walked along slowly, beginning to formulate a plan for tonight. I wouldn't be able to get a fake ID tonight. It would be too late by the time I left the building. So, I settled for completing my first robbery in Alternia. I reached the desk and handed the receptionist three Pokeballs, Caligula's, Captain's, and Sneasel's. She took them and I waited for them to be returned to me. I was anxious to get out of this place because I needed to be out robbing things before it got too late and I was hindered a day because of a lack of sleep. Finally, I received my Pokemon and left the building.

As I walked out the door, I took Sneasel's Pokeball out and opened it. The clawed feline turned on me the minute its senses returned. It leaped at me with primal fury, and I could see the moonlight glinting off its claws. For once, my superiority to all other beings could not save me. I survived because Sneasel had no intention of killing me yet. He drew his claw down my eye and nodded at me. He would make his mark on me when we had time to ourselves. A scar was fair pay for a loyal companion with murderous intent. I whispered to him, "You want to mark me, eh? You can later, but for now, I shall name you Caracalla, after the emperor from Ancient Rome. The Sneasel grinned at me and leaped off me to land at my feet. Still turned away from me, he nodded once and I returned him to his Pokeball.

The next thing I needed to do was speak with Caligula. I let the Abra out of his Pokeball and a stream of rage hit my brain as he came into being. What is it you want from me, Vince? I sighed at the prospect of what I was doing, but I needed to do it. I said, Caligula, do your worst to me. I need you on my team as an ally, not an antagonist. You deserve whatever you got, but do what you must so that you trust me again. Caligula's eyes bored into mine, and I felt no fear. I was not intimidated by him. Caligula said softly and sadly, You were right. I have nothing to gain from destroying you, just as you have nothing to gain from having me as an enemy. I am content. Surprised, I nodded and said, "Allies?" Caligula moved towards me and I gripped his hand to shake it, but it immediately grew red hot and scalded my hand. I let go and nodded at him, unwilling to show physically my pain. Since he was in my head, Caligula knew that he had succeeded in besting me. I returned him to his Pokeball and began to walk away.

I walked through the town and stopped at the biggest private house I could find. Releasing my Gastly and Caligula, I sent Gastly to enter the house without tripping any alarms by being intangible. Caligula would be following him mentally with telepathy. After he had scouted out the area, Caligula would transport himself and me into a safe place in the building. From there, I would begin the next portion of my plan.

I began my plan with a single hand motion. Gastly flew through the air, silent as a wraith. He would never be found by any sort of technological device because his gaseous body carried no heat in it; his natural abilities allowed him to disappear from view and float through walls. Utilizing all of these, Gastly entered the house through a wall and became invisible. Upon reaching a safe place out of view of any cameras, lasers, etc. Gastly waited, using himself as a beacon for Caligula to teleport to.

Meanwhile, outside, Caligula and I waited for Gastly to give us the signal. As we waited, I wondered what I would do with all this money. I had over $10,000 on my person and I would have more than that when I was through tonight. I would need to figure out a way to store my money safely. Perhaps the Pokemon Center had a system I could use. I would have to deposit it slowly though, as if I was being paid for odd jobs. I grinned to myself. I would definitely be doing odd jobs. Stealing from the rich to give to me. After solving that dilemma, I began to contemplate how I would carry all the things I was about to steal. My jacket had a lot of pockets, but it might not be enough. I sighed and just decided to go with the flow, something I hated to do, but needed to do because I had no other options. I made a note to buy a bag with tonight's profits.

Conveniently, just as I finished my plans, Caligula entered my head. Vince. Time to go. I nodded as he teleported us to the room where Gastly was. The both of us looked around and examined our surroundings. Then, I sent Gastly out to search for things of interest. As for myself, I put my hood up and covered my face again. I couldn't be seen on camera...DAMN IT! I forgot a mask I thought to myself. I needed to be far more prepared next time. Anyways, Caligula and I went our separate ways, examining the house, always staying in the shadows. Caligula was our link to each other. I was linked to Gastly and Caligula at all times. We would not be separated during this trip. I looked around with my own eyes as my mind saw what lay before two other pairs of eyes. The night's work had just begun.

The house was deafly silent as you and Caligula teleported inside. There was a stillness that would send a shiver down anyone's spine. But not allowing yourself to show weakness in front of your pokemon you would have to shake off the eerie feeling. Gastly floated off through the wall that lead to a room that was sealed by a locked door. As he entered the room Caligula decided to check out some rooms on the opposide side of the house. He hovered above the ground as his pschic powers teleported him to the nearest door you and him were standing by. As he checked to make sure everything was safe you heard Gastly's voice inside your head.
"Boss, theres nothing in this room. I am moving onto the next, I'll keep you informed."

Caligula beckoned for you to join him by the door he was standing by. He was growing imaptient. He wanted to get this over and done as quickly as possible. There was one camera that was pointing towards the staircase that lead up to the upper rooms such as bedrooms and bathrooms (lots of interesting stuff can be found in a bedroom). The camera at occasions would send out a flash that lit up the entire room, if only for second. Maybe it was just a flash to warn off anyone that might try and break in. Maybe it was actually taking photos as well as filming. Sometimes photos can show you more than a film. Either way you wouldn't want to stick around long to find out what the camera was doing. And with modern technology and no mask you could easily be identified.

Caligula got bored of waiting for you and teleported to you, grabbed your hand and teleported you again into the locked room. It was dark. Very dark. Caligula started a Fire Punch in order to shed a little light on the cold, dark room. There wasn't much to see, just a desk with a drawer, a mirror and a small teddy bear laying in the corner.

Caligula didn't waste any time in opening the drawer and removing a small piece of paper on the inside. He looked at it for awhile before throwing it to the floor, letting it land at your feet. The small glow from Caligula's fist let you read what was on the paper. There was nothing but numbers. Sixteen numbers to be exact. They read:

3861 1867 5162 0461

The numbers didn't seem to mean much now since they were crossed out but who knows what secrets it may reveal. Maybe there was some clue on the paper that may prove useful...or not. Caligula started to grow bored yet again and started floating around the room, he whispered in your head.

"Are we done here yet. Theres nothing here. Lets move on. There are plenty of other rooms"

As he said that another voice echoed inside your head. It sounded like Gastly...in fact it must have been as there was no other pokemon that could communicate with you right now.

"BOSS BOSS GET HERE NOW!! WE HIT THE JACKPOT!!"

As I entered the building, everything was as still as night on an open glade. Wind rustled nothing. No sound came from any creaking windows or snoring imbeciles. Everything was quiet and eerily still. The eerie feeling hit me for a second and I tilted my head in confusion. It was something that didn't seem quite right. Shaking my head to get rid of the feeling, I moved on with the heist.

A camera was positioned at the stairs flashing every few seconds. I glanced at out of the corner of my eye, never showing my face directly to it. I figured that after tonight, I would need more than a mask. I would need to change my appearance completely. Noting that, I moved on, exploring each room carefully and meticulously. I didn't find anything of note in my rooms that I explored. Caligula appeared in my line of sight and I whispered mentally, What the hell are you doing? Get out of sight. He ignored me and motioned me to follow him. I glared at him and kept searching. He could deal with things himself. Apparently, he was still afraid of my wrath from before because without warning, he teleported behind me and then teleported the both of us to a dark room.

In the room, there was little to do, but apparently Caligula had found something, so I just waited for him. He opened a drawer and threw a paper at me. There were some numbers on it that were crossed out, but I committed them to my memory just in case. They were 3861 1867 5162 0461. Caligula told me he was bored and I looked at him in awe. WHAT?! Why the *censored from record* did you bring me here then, asshole? I thought you had found something valuable. Fuming, I examined the room again. I picked up the mirror and looked at it with a scrutinizing eye. It was quite nice and might be useful in the future. I tucked it into my pocket and looked around again. All that remained was a stuffed bear and the desk. I shook my head in anger and dismay and was ready to turn on Caligula again when a voice entered my head. Caligula didn't call me boss, so it had to be Gastly. Or did it? The voice told me that he had it the jackpot and my eyes opened a little wider. It might not be much, but it could be something because as I immediately recalled, Gastly had entered a sealed door.

I checked the room once again and nodded once. Caligula noted my intentions and we were off. Following Gastly's mental signal, we traveled instantaneously to his location. As I disappeared from the room, I thought to myself, What could this jackpot be?

Caligula gave one final swoop of the room before deciding this room had nothing to offer and teleporting you away. Knowing he had to Teleport you to Gastly's location, Caligula gave himself a second to sense Gastly's location...however he stopped and just as he was about to Teleport you he stopped and looked at you. He had something he wanted to say but maybe he was scared, it was strange that he wasn't following your orders.

"I...I cannot sense Gastly!" Caligula said to you. He used Telepathy to speak to you naturally, otherwise you could easily be caught. "I don't understand...he is not in this house" He continued. He closed his eyes and started tensing his body, using as much energy he could to sense Gastly's presence. "His signal is faint. I can just pick it up but I cannot get a correct placement of his location. I will have to Teleport somewhere close by and we will have to look for him." Caligula finished. He was angry with the fact he couldn't sense Gastly...unable to do something you ordered made him feel weak and he refused to let you believe he was weak.

Fixing a teleporting spot, Caligula finally telepoted you both and within seconds you were staring over the balcony, looking at the stairs leading to the ground floor. There were cameras here to. They let off small flashes that didn't cover the entire range of the second floor. Keeping to the shadows Caligula continued to attempt to sense Gastly.

"BOSS BOSS" Gastly yelled to you. "WHERE ARE YOU?! COME TO THIS ROOM NOW!!" Gastly shouted into your head. "FORGET IT, I'LL COME FIND YOU."

As he said that a ghostly chill entered the room as a the camera flashed at the empty darkness and a second flash saw Gastly, floating in the empty corridor, staring at you. It was a chilling sight. He quickly flew into a wall and reappeared by your side, making sure he was out of sight by the camera. He beckoned you to follow him down the corridor as he floated back down the hall and entering a door on the far left.

Now knowing where to go, Caligula teleported once again and you were now inside the room Gastly had been seen going into...but Gastly was nowhere to be seen. He yelled into your head.
"WHERE ARE YOU?! GET INTO THE ROOM!"

Wow, he was certainly speaking roughly to you...was that like him? Anyway, wherever you were, it certainly wasn't the room Gastly was in. Caligula decided that he might as well look around. Lighting up his fist he shed some light across the room. There was quite a lot in this room. There was a wooden desk, pressed up against a back wall. On the table there were a few photos, some of boys, some of girls, always the same sex, never mixed. In the corner there were two sheets of paper. They looked like blueprints for some sort of building needed to be built. There was about $50 of loose change scattered around the table and on the floor underneath. On the left wall there were test-tubes filled with all different coloured liquids. Some were bubbling whilst others remained lifeless and boring.

Caligula was fixated on a portrait of a grown man, about 30 years in age. He was wearing medieval style clothes and had an Arcanine standing by his side. It was a magnificent sight and although this portrait obviously meant a lot to the owner, it didn't stop Caligula from carelessy removing the portrait and throwing it to the floor. Behind the portrait was a safe.
"Pfft how typical." Caligula whispered in your head.
Using a Fire Punch he slammed into the safe...but it didn't budge. The safe needed a code of somesort but there was no way to know what it could be, was there?

Gastly once again filled your head with his loud voice.
"WHERE ARE YOU?! GET HERE NOW!!"

((Note: Can you add my new mirror to my profile? Also I have no Pokemon in the PC anymore. I'm a criminal. What do I care about laws?))

I waited impatiently as Caligula searched the room for the last time. I nearly turned on him to ask why he had brought me to this useless room, but yet again I did not because doing so could both jeopardize our position and get him angrier than he already was at me. So I kept myself calm and waited some more. Caligula came up to me and teleported me away after informing me that he could not sense Gastly. I rolled my eyes and turned to tell him to go where he should have been. But, Caligula already knew that and we vanished there.

Once there, Gastly's voice came to me again. BOSS BOSS! WHERE ARE YOU?! COME TO THIS ROOM NOW!! FORGET IT, I'LL COME FIND YOU. I began to wonder what was wrong with Gastly. First of all, he wasn't much of a yeller. He is usually quite calm spoken. He plays his jokes, but this was strange even for my masochistic sadist. Growing more and more suspicious of this whole set up, I spoke to Caligula, ensuring that Gastly could not hear us. Caligula, examine Gastly for me. Something strange is going on here. Make sure he doesn't notice. Gastly appeared as I finished speaking, Caligula teleported us where he went. After that, Caligula and I examined the room I was in. There was $50 lying around that I picked up to ensure some sort of net gain from tonight. I also saw a set of blueprints. I rolled those up and put them in a pocket inside my jacket. They would come in handy when designing a building later on. I would have to be sure not to use the same exact design though.

Caligula stared at a portrait as I examined the many vials of liquids lying around. I tried to determine what they might be, but I hadn't the time nor information required to do so, so I left them there, bubbling away. As I looked away from the vials, Caligula threw the portrait onto the ground, revealing the safe behind. He then proceeded to Fire Punch it to no avail. I growled, saying to him WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? We're not here to make a mess, just to steal stuff. Hopefully, they won't even notice the missing things until we're long gone. Don't go breaking shit. Caligula ignored me and began to mentally examine Gastly. As he did so, I examined the safe behind the portrait. Recalling the four numbers from before, 3861 1867 5162 0461, I began to try to find a pattern or something in the numbers which might lead to the most recent code to the safe before me.

My search was fruitless. I found a number of common themes in them, but none of them held true for each of the four numbers. And even if they did, they would not have helped me find a new combination. Groaning, I began to put in my first guess, the most left number, 0461. I had no other ideas because they seemed quite random numbers indeed. Before I was finished, Gastly's voice entered my head. It asked me again where I was. I shook for a second with rage before I asserted control over myself and ignored him, finishing my input. I hit the enter key and hoped for the best. What more could I do?

The safe clicked as you pressed in the numbers. Nothing happened for a few seconds when suddenly a loud high pitched shriek filled the room and probably the rest of the house. It lasted a few seconds before settling down. Obviously some sort of alarm to ward off criminals. The numbers themselves didn't work. Does a safe need to have four numbers inputed into it though? Could you put in more numbers, or less numbers? That was irrelevent for now as Caligula stood there, wondering what was about to happen. He smirked that you had failed at your attempt but at the same time that shrill may have alerted others.

"How could you be so stupid?" Caligula yelled into your head.

"Yes quite, how could you be so stupid?" A voice echoed in your head. Surely a criminal such as you must realise not to put in a code unless you are certain you are correct." The voice continued. The voice seemed calm and reasonable, but there was a hint of malice behind it. "Oh where ae my manners. All this talking yet we cannot see face to face. Allow me to introduce myself. I am the one who could have you sent to prison for a long, long time. I think it would be for the best if you came to this room Vince. Yes I know your name, I know more than that. But I think it would be better for us to meet face to face. Come to the room your have failed to get into several times. The seal is unlocked and you are able to enter now. I suggest you come quickly, or your friend Gastly will meet an...unfortuante end hahahaha" The voice boomed into your head before disappearing. There was a strange silence in the room. Caligula simply snorted in protest. He probably heard everything.

Caligula made a gesture that seemed to say
"Forget Gastly, lets just get of here"
He had probably realised that whatever was talking to you had some sort of Telepathy so using his pschyic powers would only put the both of you in trouble. And he wasn't about to let himslef get caught.

What would you do though? Running away would surely spell the end for your Gastly...but following this voice could lead to serious trouble. A sticky situation, but one you were bound to face one day.

As I input the numbers, nothing happened for a few seconds, and then, an alarm went off, just as I had suspected. The numbers were wrong. However, that hadn't been the plan. If it had worked, it would have been nice, but if it hadn't, I was prepared for an alarm. Police were not something I was concerned about, so I had had nothing to lose. Caligula yelled at me mentally, How could you be so stupid? I turned to him and glared, muttering to myself, "Shut the *censored from record* up, Caligula."

As I spoke, a new voice entered my head. Yes quite, how could you be so stupid? Surely a criminal such as you must realize not to put in a code unless you are certain you are correct. I cracked a mild smile at this. Whoever this voice was, he was NOT aware of who he was dealing with. His cockiness would be to my advantage. The voice continued on, seemingly innocent, but I could detect a malicious intent behind it. It sounded a bit like me, only less smart. Oh where are my manners. All this talking, yet we cannot see face to face. Allow me to introduce myself. I am the one who could have you sent to prison for a long, long time. I think it would be for the best if you came to this room Vince. Yes I know your name, I know more than that. But I think it would be better for us to meet face to face. Come to the room your have failed to get into several times. The seal is unlocked and you are able to enter now. I suggest you come quickly, or your friend Gastly will meet an...unfortunate end. As he laughed like an idiot, I changed my opinion of this fool. I decided that he was completely unlike me. He was not even intelligent. All he had was a minor upper hand, but even that was worthless.

Turning to Caligula, I prepared to tell him to bring us to the speaker. However, Caligula seemed ready to leave without Gastly. I widened my eyes and appeared surprised. Looking him straight in the eye, I said, "Now." And that was all I needed. Caligula nodded and brought us to the room. I smiled to myself as we teleported away. This 'mysterious speaker' seemed to think he knew all about me. He was damned wrong and it was time I proved it to him. I wasn't planning to become the greatest criminal that Tohea, sorry Alternia, had ever seen by being careless and stupid. No. I was Vince G. Roden. The most intelligent and powerful person ever to walk the earth. As I wondered if the voice could hear my thoughts, I laughed inwardly. What did I care? I was Vince G. Roden.

Caligula didn't hesitate to teleport you both to the room that had originally been sealed off. With the seal now lifted he faced no difficulties in entering the once inaccessible room. It was dark...very dark. Pitch black actually. There were no lights, no windows, no nothing. Whoever lived here definately didn't use this room for social gatherings. You couldn't even see Caligula, who was mere inches from you. He was floating there, waiting impatiently.

"Can't we hurry this up?" He yelled into your head. "Tell this guy to show himself NOW!!" He was getting aggravated quickly.

"Ah Caligula, so rude yet so beautiful to watch in battle." The voice of the mystery person filled your head. An icy chill entered your body as something seemed to pass through you. A ghost?...Nah couldn't be. "I assume you think you are lucky that I have called you here. That I have, "played into your hands" you might say. Let me assure you, this is most definately NOT the case. Everything that has happened, has happened because I willed it to happen. Everything that happens by the end of tonight will have happened because I allow it to happen. Do you understand?" The voiced said. Again, the voice spoke calmly yet there was a serious, malicious tone to it. It was creepy and would send a shiver down the spine of even the most courageous man.

A bright light erupted throughout the room, temporarily blinding you. As it settled down it was just faint enough to see. There was a silhouette of a man standing in the corner of the room. He started walking to the middle of the room and turned to face you. You couldn't see what he looked like however. He reached into his pocket and pulled out an item. It looked like a pokeball but it was hard to tell.

"Oh yes I completely forgot. Gastly...appear." The voice yelled, this time out loud. A Gastly appeared besides him and besides his Gastly, was another Gastly. Your Gastly. He didn't look injured thankfully. "Now then like I said. Everything that happens here tonight, happens because I allow it. I have allowed your Gastly to live for now. But I suggest that you listen to me. There is poison flowing through him. If you wish to heal him you will have to battle me. Here's the catch though. Should you lose...hahaha, you will do as I say. Do you understand me? If you fail to accept my battle...I'm afraid it will be Gastly who suffers. Lets see how much you care for your pokemon." The man said as the pokeball in his hand turned to two. He threw them in the air and next to his Gastly, two more pokemon appeared.

Do you wish to battle? You don't have much of a choice, but there is always a solution that can be found.

Caligula brought us to the room without a hitch. When there, the first obvious thing was that we were in a DARK room. I couldn't see anything but darkness. So, I sat down and closed my eyes. Sitting cross-legged, I leaned back and lay on the ground waiting patiently for this game to begin. I waited and waited. Caligula was not as content to wait and started screaming at me in my head. I just ignored him because he was beginning to be more of an ass than I could handle. However, the response in my head did catch my interest. It wasn't because it wasn't an asshole speaking, but it was the person running this show.

The voice started rambling about his superiority complex. His words are so funny, that I can't help but write them down here. Ah Caligula, so rude yet so beautiful to watch in battle. As he said this, something passed through me. It was a feeling very akin to that I found when I was hunting Ditto. Likely, it was a ghost. I contemplated responding to the comment about Caligula, but there was no real need to. The idiot continued. I assume you think you are lucky that I have called you here. That I have, "played into your hands" you might say. Let me assure you, this is most definately NOT the case. Everything that has happened, has happened because I willed it to happen. Everything that happens by the end of tonight will have happened because I allow it to happen. Do you understand? Here, I just couldn't hold it in anymore. I burst out laughing. I laughed and laughed and laughed. His voice was somewhat frightening, but my mirth was so great that I barely noticed it.

I said out loud, "You'd make a damned good comedian, my friend. A damned good one." He ignored me and turned on the lights. With my eyes closed still, I noted the light and kept them closed for a few seconds and opened them as I sat up. In the corner of the room, I saw a man keeping to the shadows because he was too afraid to show his face. The shadowed man pulled out a Pokeball from his pocket or somewhere and let out a Gastly. He spoke yet again as the Pokemon appeared.

"Oh yes, I completely forgot. Gastly...appear." Finally, he spoke aloud. He seemed to be yelling rather excessively loud, but it was his house. I didn't care. My Gastly appeared beside his own Gastly and began floating towards me. He stopped in front of me and his eyes shrunk and fear was in his eyes. I smiled at him and said, "You have nothing to fear. You are truly a member of my team, Nero. Yes, you shall be called Nero." Nero beamed at me and turned to face the other Gastly. It was his turn to fight. And he was not going to fail me.

The man, whom I decided to call Sam, began bragging again about how he had put a poison in Gastly's system. It would harm him every few minutes or so, and at that, I knew that Gastly must be having the time of his life. The anticipation from battle combined with the poison in his veins, the sadist was likely ready to bounce off the walls. He told me again about how everything was playing into his hands, but I knew that that was bullshit. It was all a game to convince me that I was inferior to him. I knew that I wasn't.

He also tried to convince me that I would stay to fight because Gastly would 'suffer.' Gastly was having the time of his life. The ball of poisonous gas shivered with excitement as he waited for the oncoming battle. The man showed me some sleight of hand and two Pokeballs appeared where one should have been. I was not impressed. Throwing them into the air, a Charmeleon and a Kadabra appeared. I shook my head at the unoriginality of this man. I tapped a button in my pocket and Captain appeared. He looked at the Charmeleon and then at me. I nodded and he stepped forwards. Turning to Caligula and Nero, I motioned them to me. I whispered, "Nero, head for the Gastly and then switch to the Kadabra. Use Lick on it and then go intangible. Back up a few feet, go invisible and hit it from behind. Got it?" Nero nodded and moved forwards to stand in line with Captain. Whispering to Caligula, I said, "You do the same as Nero except backwards. Head towards Kadabra but switch to the Gastly with teleport and use Fire Punch. Then, get out of there. He has an advantage in attacks, but you have more mobility. Go get him." Caligula stood in line with the others. To Captain, I said, "Captain, you know what to do, right?" In response, Captain called out, "CHARMANDER!" and stomped on the floor, rattling a few things. It was a message to me telling me that it was time to use the power of the earth, Ancient Power on Charmeleon.

Still sitting down, I said to Sam, "Hey, you. What do I get when I win? Yes, I said when I win. Why don't you just give me all your valuables, the things I'd have taken if you hadn't interfered, and I'll be on my way. Sounds good to me." I finished speaking and as I waited for an answer, a thought came to me. What did I care if I got anything from this fight? Seeing the look on Sam's face would be enough for me. I smiled and said, "Caligula, Nero, Captain. Attack!"

This guy sure knew how to keep his cool. Here you were, mocking him at every turn. No matter what he said or what he did you would just laugh at him. That would be enough to annoy anyone to a point where they would screw the pokemon and just launch themselves at you, punching you until you lost consciousness...but not this guy. He very calmly raised his hand and pointed a finger to you. He yelled to his pokemon.
"You know what to do...get him!!"

As he said that he walked out of his shadowy light. It was easy to see his face now. He had a scar very similar to yours on his cheek and his hair was tinted black, with a gold tips where it was gelled. He had a black eye that looked like it had been given to him quite recently. He wore black tracksuit bottoms, and a white t-shirt. He also looked quite young. About 20-25 years of age. He didn't look like the type of person that would hide in the shadows...but I guess he was...for now. He looked at you for a few seconds without saying anything. The battle had not yet started and all pokemon were waiting for a chance to attack.

"You act like your so tough." He said, finally breaking the silence. "But underneath your weak. You might not think you are but you are. Why else would you resort to breaking into people's houses. I intend to prove this to you right now!!" He finished, throwing his arms behind him, and throwing his right arm back forward to point at you.

At this moment Kadabra's eyes lit up. They glowed something fierce, he was ready for battle. Following your orders Nero darted forward towards the other Gastly and at the last second, changed direction and headed for Kadabra. Just he was about to deliver a Lick, a super effective move, Kadabra teleported and reappeared next to Gastly. At the same time Nero launched his attack, Caligula jolted forward towards Kadabra, and at the last second, switched targets and headed towards Gastly. However with Kadabra teleporting, he reappeared next to Gastly and countered Caligula's Fire Punch, with a Thunder Punch. The attacks made a powerful blast and even though Kadabra would appear to have the advantage in this battle, Caligula managed to stand his own. His Fire Punch actually seemed to deal more damage than Kadabra's Fire Punch.

Nero, who had failed at hitting Kadabra with a Lick, turned himself invisible and after the collision between the psychic pokemon, reappeared and delievered a second Lick there and then. Kadabra roared in anger and seemed more focused than before. He certainly seemed stronger. Now onto the fire type pokemon. Captain pounded the ground hard. Books fell from the bookcase and scattered around the room. One book landed near you, a slip of paper falling out. On it was a photo.

On the photo was a picture of a boy, a girl, each about 7 years old. There was a pokemon next to them but it had been scratched out. Behind them was a house. It was quite big. There was an address on there.

Not that it made a difference but maybe you should examine the photo, if you won this battle. Thats right I said if you won this battle. I mean, someone had folded it up and hidden it, it might be important. The floor shattered around Captain as a small but powerful looking golden beam soared towards Charmeleon. At that time, Charmeleon summoned all the fire he could manage and let out a powerful Flamethrower. Yep, this Charmeleon had been tutored. The two attacks met in the middle. The golden beam and the burst of fire raging against each other before exploding causing smoke to fill the room. The damage seemed minimal on both sides, but it seemed like all pokemon had been affected by the explosion. As the round came to a close, the man (who's name is NOT Sam) looked at you and answered your earlier question.

"If you win, I'll tell you something that may or may not be important in your journey." The man said.

I watched calmly through lidded eyes, still lying down watching with mild interest. I didn't really care that his Pokemon were slightly stronger than mine. I knew that I was smarter than my opponent in many ways and I could easily defeat his inferior Pokemon in battle. Mine were far superior in mind and body.

Sam had to make a simple call to get his Pokemon to attack. I was mildly impressed, but not really. He was likely in contact with his Pokemon through his Kadabra. Not that impressive really. Sam stepped into the light and I saw him. He wore black pants and a white shirt and then he had a scar on his cheek. His hair was black and slightly golden at the tips of it. After a few seconds, Sam began to speak with me. He said, "You act like you're so tough. But underneath your weak. You might not think you are but you are. Why else would you resort to breaking into people's houses. I intend to prove this to you right now!" At this, my eyes widened.

I smiled and said, "You plan to prove my weakness by beating me in a Pokemon battle? Please tell me that is a joke. And I break into people's houses because it provides an outlet for my mind that other endeavors could not provide. Like could I be playing a game like this with you working at a desk job? No. This is fun. Why does having fun make me weak?" Sam seemed to be a royal asshole, thinking he was so awesome and rich. Well, nothing he said or did would ever get to me. I was pretty confident in myself.

At this, the battle began. Caligula moved towards Kadabra charging forwards at high speeds. Nero stupidly aimed directly for Kadabra. He got there first and Kadabra teleported out of the way. Caligula also reached Kadabra, but teleported towards Gastly to use Fire Punch. Kadabra blocked the way and blocked Caligula's punch with its own punch. Nero then turned invisible to sneak up on Kadabra, landing his Lick attack on the psychic fox.

Captain and Charmeleon were having their own battle. Captain fired off a beam of Ancient Power to hit Charmeleon, but the Charmeleon countered with a stream of fire, Flamethrower. The two attacks met in the middle and exploding, leaving little damage on each side. A few books were knocked down and I saw a photo with a few people on it and an address that had been folded up in one of the fallen books. I made a mental note to check it out later.

With this first round done, the scales seemed quite balanced, but I wasn't one to watch them tip in either direction. Calling out loud and abandoning secrecy, I said, "Captain. Again. Then follow up with an Ember at his Gastly. Caligula, watch your target. Nero, do what you can to hit his Gastly or Kadabra. Either one will be helpless against you." What I didn't say aloud was said mentally to Caligula. I told the psychic to stay out of the fight for a few seconds and hit Gastly when he made a move, which I assumed he would. If he didn't, go for Kadabra again. Gastly was still the target, but not quite in the same manner.

As a final note, Sam told me that if I won he would tell me something useful, but I found that hard to believe because what could he know that would be legitimately useful to me? Also, he even told me that it might not be useful. When I won, I made a second note to sic Caracalla on him, just so I knew that I was getting something useful.

Your Poketch beeped slightly as two empty pokeballs were transmitted to data and sent away. After a few seconds $180 appeared in your hand. Naturally you put it into your pocket to continue what you were doing.

"Hmph!" was all the mystery man, you had named Sam, could say. He either didn't know what to say, or he was tired of talking to you. Why should he bother when you were mocking him at every step in the way. Kadabra, who had been weakened a lot during the last round, simply stood there waiting for an attack. Caligula, following your instructions also stood there, waiting for his turn to strike. The only two that were really involved in a proper battle at this moment, where Captain and Charmeleon. It was a battle that meant a lot to both of them. Captain had to prove he was better than his evolved counterpart, and Charmeleon had to prove he was stronger than his pre-form counterpart. Although Charmeleon seemed to be battling the way he wanted to, with "Sam" not issuing orders, Captain was sticking your orders, whether they were right or wrong.

Captain readied himself again. His body glowed golden as he shot a powerful, bright gold beam that shot at tremendous speed towards Charmeleon. Charmeleon let his fist glow bright white as he preapared a Mega Punch and through himself at the beam with high speed. His fist connected with the beam and a similar explosion as the last one occured, temporarily sending smoke throughout the entire room. Nero took this oppurtunity to disappear and appear behind Gastly and deliver a mildly strong blow. The smoke settled quickly and both Captain and Charmeleon were still standing strong. However the golden glow from Captain hadn't faded. He appeared to be stronger than before. With his temporary new strength he let out a blaze of fire that set their sites on his evolved opponent. Charmeleon, using his more powerful Flamethrower, blew the Ember to smitherines and stuck Captain, delivering a strong, but not deadly blow. Both pokemon still had plenty of fight left, and Charmeleon seemed to be mighty proud of himself for besting Captain this round.

With this round almost over, Caligula, who had been watching both Gastly and Kadabra closely, decided to send an attack Gastly's way, teleporting behind him and hitting him with a Fire Punch. Kadabra watched this sudden strike and lifted Caligula into the air using powerful Psychic abilities. He threw Caligula towards a nearby wall, slamming him hard against it before slamming him to the floor. Gastly seemed to be quite docile this turn, choosing not to attack.

((OOC: I'm going to ignore my trades until I'm done here. Put them in my profile, but it won't be mentioned here and now but later.))

I smiled as Sam just huffed at me rather than responding. Finally, I had managed to make him shut up. Still sitting down, I began to think and think, wondering what I was going to do with Nero, Caligula, and Captain. They were strong enough to win, but it was harder than I expected. Sam's Pokemon were faster, stronger and more experienced. After watching and thinking, I decided that it was time to make the playing field more even.

Before I explain what I mean, I must write of what happened during the battle. First, Captain and Charmeleon fought with an Ancient Power vs. a Mega Punch. Then, when Captain tried Ember, Charmeleon overpowered it with a Flamethrower. Caligula and Nero both attacked Sam's Gastly with Fire Punch and Lick respectively. The two of them landed their attacks, weakening the ball of poisonous smoke, but it did less damage than I would have expected. During his attack, Caligula was thrown against the wall by Sam's Kadabra. So, as you can see, it was definitely time I evened things out.

I pulled a Pokeball out from my pocket and let out my Ditto. I said to him, "Alright. Its time you showed me your worth. Transform into Gastly and take Nero's place. Got it?" The pink blob made no other motion other than to become a floating ball of gas. He smiled at me and turned to the battle. I called my other three Pokemon to me. I said, "Nero, you've done well, but that poison is going to hurt us more than it will spur you on. I'm pulling you out. Caligula, you need to keep up with his Kadabra. I don't care how you do it, just do it. He is NOT stronger than you. You know that. Now beat him. Captain, excellent work so far, but Charmeleon is getting the best of you at each turn. Goad him into a trap. Use Ember, dodge and then shoot him with an Ancient Power. He's cocky. He should fall right for it." With that, I returned Nero to his Pokeball and sent the rest of my Pokemon into the fray.

Captain began to fire a ball of scattered fires. Caligula watched the battle with darting eyes, looking for a perfect opening. He was waiting to see if Kadabra would attack, ready to use Fire Punch after Teleporting out of the way. As for Ditto, I called to him, "Ditto, Curse Kadabra and then use Lick on Gastly. Should either of them attack you, return to your normal form before they get you. Then, get back up in Gastly's form and destroy them." The gaseous orb shook and sacrificed itself to curse Kadabra.

As Nero returned to his ball Sam gave a confused little look. Why would you be returning your pokemon? That wouldn't cure the poison...then again he would run out of energy before this battle was over. Maybe it was for the best. However he certainly didn't expect you to summon Ditto, letting it completely replace Nero by becoming a Gastly it's own.

"You see it's exactly as I told you. You act so tough yet on the inside you're weak. As soon as the battle got to a point where you started to doubt your abilities you return your pokemon. Hmm, maybe you're not all bad...at least you care for your pokemon. Now, lets continue."

Kadabra and Caligula were locked in a staredown. Neither would move until the other presented an opening...so it looked like they were useless for the time being. Ditto did as you commanded and used his ghost like Curse to cut his own attack. It certainly was unexpected and Kadabra, who was too busy concentrating on Caligula, suddenly felt a chill run through him as the curse entered his body. This momentary lapse of concentration caused Caligula to take advantage, using Teleport to appear above Kadabra and knock him into the ground and through the floorboards with a devastating Fire Punch. There was no movement for awhile...lets continue

At the same Captain and Charmeleon continued their battle. Captain spat out his Ember and as expected Charmeleon used his Flamethrower, enveloping the Embers, making the Flamethrower a little stronger with the added heat. As ordered Captain had already prepared to dodged and got as close as possible to Flamethrower before jumping out of it and sending out a magnificent golden beam that struck Charmeleon right in the chest, knocking him back to his opponent's feet. Charmeleon immediately recovered and wiped away some blood from his mouth. His claw began to shine and eventually seemed to turn to steel. He ran at full speed and slashed at Captain, delivering a powerful Metal Claw.

Kadabra finally reappeared from the floorboards, he had been awhile which was strange. But all was made clear when Ditto appeared to Lick him and Kadabra simply forced him away with a powerful Pscyhic attack. He had obviously used Future Sight and was waiting for his prediction to come through. That left him unable to attack for the rest of this turn. But the rounds were over anyway. Time for the damage report.
