Forgot I had to tutor today, so I'm putting this up a few hours early.

Birch once again looks nervous under the reopened discussion of what he let slip. Looking straight at the door, he says, "OhwouldyoulookatthetimeohmyI'vegotmoreresearchtodoenjoyyournewfemalemudkip!" so fast you can barely comprehend it as he bolts out the door, literally escaping your questions. Holy crap, you've never SEEN someone move that fast! Oh well, there goes that. You could always call your brother yourself, but you doubt he'd be willing to tell you any more than Birch was willing to. Maybe your sister would know and be willing to say something, but she can be a bit elusive at times so you don't 100% recall her number or where you can reach her.

The Zigzagoon looks at you with confusion and still more than a bit of anxiety in its eyes. It seems to understand that you're not willing to hurt it right now, but it still seems to be nervous around people. And it must be people because it doesn't seem to have a problem at all with Liz. You begin to wonder just how many people knocked this critter out without capturing it for it to get to this point. But still, maybe it'd be for the best if you left it to Liz to bring this little guy into the fold.

The net result is something of a stalemate, the previous momentum of the Poochyena being a bit too fast for Larvitar to dodge the move, so instead it takes the brunt of the attack and Bites the Poochyena as a counterattack while it's head's in his gut. It's not very effective though... But it's all you have to work with other than Leer so you've gotta do SOMETHING with it. The Poochyena looks like it's ramping up for the next round, so maybe you can preempt him? Or at the very least cut it off so it can't do as much damage.
On the S.S. Tidal:Tsubaki and SladenSpoiler (click to show/hide):
Trying to move reveals that Tsubaki can now move her extremities (her toes and her fingers) and feeling is starting to slowly filter back from there, feeling like little pinpricks that she can use to track the progress. Meanwhile, the Abra is frozen in shock, not even remotely expecting a human to directly attack him. His inbred instinct not to attack humans seems to be at war with his Trainer's orders, keeping him locked in place as Nobi runs up and lands a clean Bite right in the torso! That snaps it out of it long enough to know that it's severely outmatched and it uses Teleport to get out of there while it still can. Creed didn't feed too terribly much since Tsubaki seemed to recover her spirits almost as soon as she saw Sladen and the Shuppet barge into the room, but it does pick off her worry about Nobi's safety and Nobi's worry about his trainer and eats that up. With the crisis averted, there's still not too terribly much Tsubaki can do even though she just got the feeling back in her hands and feet, meaning that if Sladen decides to take out Nobi, there's not a whole lot she can do about it unless she buys more time. You both can keep the S.S. Tidal slowing down, meaning you must be close to Petalburg. Decisions, decision, Sladen!
In Mauville:IanSpoiler (click to show/hide):
The woman is someone who seems to play with Lady Luck as a hobby and is therefore used to looking for subtle tells on people, so your stalling in explaining the game and that almost unnoticeable nod immediately puts her on edge. She doesn't know WHAT you're planning, but she knows you're planning something.
"Maybe you can win that too. Now what's the game?" she says, a little colder than she was acting before your actions. She seems to regard you as a challenge rather than an one-off card buddy now. You're not sure if that's a good thing or not yet. She seems momentarily distracted by some yelling outside about a kid and his backpack, but then she locks right back onto you, looking for any tip offs on what you're about to do.

(Ditto's your Pokemon to control, so you dictate how it acts and all that good stuff)
The range of reactions goes from people straight up ignoring you, pretending there isn't a lady yelling next to a junkyard known for harboring homeless kids, to looking at you like you're crazy. There's also the men who look at you with perversion in their eyes because you're in your uniform and maid fetishes aren't exactly uncommon, but you can most likely safely ignore those since anyone who steps forward out of that bunch would probably know nothing and expect a favor out of you before revealing that they knew nothing. Speaking of, one of those men, a respectable looking man (sans the lewd look he's giving) in a suit with glasses steps up to you.
[color=#00FF40]"I didn't see a kid, but I might have seen where the backpack went." is all he says to you. Ditto almost seems to shutter at the look he gives you, causing him to finally notice it as well, his look deepening if that was at all possible. Your Ditto seems to almost beg you with its eyes not to talk any further to this man, but that's still up to you to decide.

DuoSpoiler (click to show/hide):
The kid becomes visibly distressed when you ask him for further information. He doesn't seem afraid that the information will hurt him in some way, but he DOES seem terrified of giving out that information. You can actually SEE him gathering up his courage to answer further, he's so scared.
"I-I-I." he stops, trying to conquer his nerves. "I don't know where they're centered. I-I-I tried to bring Officer Jenny to stop it t-t-the next night, b-but they were g-g-gone. I think they move locations every night. And who runs it... EEEEP!!" the kid cries out in such a high pitch Granite recoils from hearing it. Looking down, you see the formerly unconscious woman grabbed his leg and is raising to her feet.
"Now, now, Nel, no one likes snitches." she says menacingly as she recovers her footing. Once she's at full height, she grabs Nel by the back of the neck in what looks like a painful fashion and doesn't look to be letting go anytime soon. "I'll deal with you later. I'm gonna want payback for what ya did to me. As for you." she reaches back for her PokeBall to find it's not there. She lets out a curse under her breath and reaches into her pants, pulling a miniaturized PokeBall from... well, it could only be her panties. "I'm giving you one chance to get outta here before I REALLY get pissed." She seems horribly unsteady on her feet, still suffering the aftereffects of being tazed and all her focus being on keeping Nel by her side. It doesn't look like it'd take much to send her back into the realm of dreams and she's focused entirely on you, not seeing Steve behind her. She could very well be bluffing, the Pokemon in her hand being something you can take out no problem. Or this could be her ace in the hole, something much more powerful than what Granite recovered.

On Route 121:ElixiaSpoiler (click to show/hide):
Not seeing you coming, the Team Aqua Grunt takes the punch right across the face, letting go of the girl's PokeBall. She doesn't look back as she bolts, leaving you alone with the now pissed off Grunt. His anger turns to an oily sort of leer as he takes in his attacker and recognizes her to be the annoying bitch that he has orders to capture on sight. You can almost feel the perverted thoughts sliding through his mind as he licks his lips at you.
"Oh the things I'm gonna do to you before I turn you in." he sneers at you, so much raw perversion and greasiness in his voice that it almost makes you sick. Grabbing his own Pokeball, he releases a Tentacool which almost immediately picks up on its Trainer's vibe and offers you an apologetic glance tinged with fear that says it can't go against his Trainer for fear of punishment. "Tentacool, why don't you go ahead and Constrict this girl. You know the way I like it." The Tentacool seems to take as much time as it can going through with the order, giving you more than enough time to flee if you want to. The fact that it knows Constrict at all tells you it's more than a few levels above both of your Pokemon combined and that it'd be a bad idea to take it head on.
In Mossdeep:KanaSpoiler (click to show/hide):
Months of running have landed you on the relatively isolated island that is Mossdeep City, where you have slipped under the radar of your Team Aqua pursuers. Faces may change, but one contain is that one of you chasers is a relatively slim young man with purple, spiked up hair. He's always spectacularly cruel if he gets anywhere near you and always promising to make you his sex slave if he gets a hold of you. Thankfully, he's never gotten the chance to make good on his promise, especially since you're finding it easier and easier to inflict harm on him despite the Eevee DNA spliced into you screaming at you when you try. Other people, not so much, but hurting him seems to come easily. Following slipping Team Aqua, you've had a rare opportunity to relax and recuperate in the care of a family of Pokemon Breeders who specialize in Psychic Pokemon and think things through. What are you going to do with the rest of your life? Could maybe a Pokemon Professor turn you back to normal? Just what happens next? Well, at least that last part's being answered for you. You can see people on couple of motorboats wearing an all too familiar uniform. They've found you! How doesn't necessarily matter right now, but you need to find a way off the island! The Ferry won't be around for a while yet, so those motorboats are looking like your best option. The question is, how are you getting over there without being noticed? Especially by the cruel one who, as usual, is one of the four people on your trail.
