As Ashley grabs Lucian, he tilts his head and Prometheus flies towards the group. The second the green goo touches Ashley's head, everyone feels a sudden vertigo and a pitch blackness. The sensation lasts for what seems like a hours before every slams down onto something cold and wet. And smelly. Wherever you are, its dark. As you orient yourself and your vision adjusts, you see concrete walls and floors and a slow moving black sludge a few feet to your right. Lucian is still on the ground and isn't moving.

[Esprit15]

"Oh my head...where are we- HEY!" He sees their apparent protector passed out on the ground. "Hey man, wake up!" He shakes Lucian a bit, trying to not shake him too violently, but enough to rouse him.

[Major]

Kelaeon quickly rolls to his feet and flexes his hand, the hidden assassin blade snapping out. He looks around trying to figure out where he is as he closes his eyes and vanishes to give him time to examine the area without as much threat.

Francis glances around for a moment, and then digs in his pack, finding his torches, he pulls them out. Then, he releases Torch, his Chimchar. He holds the torch out to the little monkey.

Hey Torch, could you light me up Torch obliges, spitting flames onto each one, he hands two of them to whoever is closest, and then holds his high, trying to illuminate their surroundings.

I wonder where we are, and what nasty surprises might be lurking down here for us. He scans the are, looking to see if there were any pokemon lurking in wait for a tasty snack to drop in on them.

Ashley looks around and can barely see so she returns Prometheus and sends out Persephone, "Hello again girl can you give us a light please?" the hour she remembers spending during the teleport helped her calm down and while she still doesn't really understand whats going on she calm enough now to have regained her composure.

[Dragonsage]

Tarja took an extra moment to adjust herself to the sudden change of location. The unpleasant smell seemed to have helped her along quickly. "Lucian?" She moved over to the psychic and began to help him up. With her free hand she generated some personal lighting and looked around. "Are you okay?"

Lucian stirs slightly, but does not awake. Good, he's alive. Bryan, Ashley and Kelaeon hear some splashing in the water as the various light sources come in. Directly across the dark water stands a short blue pokemon with a swirl on its belly. It glares at the group angrily, more splashing reveals 4 more making a rough circle around the group.

alright, no surprise round. Note: a pokemon may not act the round it was released. Trainers go first, then the wilds (they are faster than Torch and Persephone). Please don't meta, I know you know what it is, your characters don't.

Ashley wipes out her DEX and scans the wild mons befor backing away from them. "Persephone be ready and get behind me these guys don't look happy to see us." she then backs away from the oncoming Pokemon, draws her gun and levels it at the oncoming mon. Yet she holds off firing untill she's sure their hostile

A group of pokemon Kelaeon didn't recognize appeared and the stealthed man could tell they didn't look thrilled. Still, they were the enemy. Quickly Kelaeon decided to ambush one before he released a pokemon. He didn't want to waste his stealth.

Moving quickly, Kelaeon lunged from his hiding spot at the nearest pokemon, dashing towards it like a blur, and flipped over it before thrusting out with his blade to stab the pokemon. Once those near him were down he would take the time to release Kira.

Tarja gave a bit of an annoyed and relieved sigh as she propped Lucian against the wall. She then turned to see what the others, who were teleported with her, were going on about. "Oh.." She said as she looked over at the things coming out of the water. She then reached for Irelia ball and sent her out at L 10, while she scanned one of the mons. She readies her dagger but does little else.

Francis grimaces as the blue pokemon appear out of the water. Great, just great, we teleport right on top of a wild's nest. Francis scans the little blue pokemon.

Bryan's shot stagger's the pokemon backwards, who gurgles angrily in response. Keleaon's blade slices clean through its soft moist flesh, the poor thing crying in agony. Francis ball collides with W1, absorbing it. The ball shakes once. Twice. Three times...PSHEWWWWW! The ball bursts open, releasing the injured beastie.

The blue mon spring into action. W1 squirts a stream at Torch, hitting the poor fire type enough to drop him in one blow. W2 at Kite, hitting particularly hard. W3 shoots at Ashley from across the 'river' blasting her in the face. W4 swirls the pattern on its belly at Irelia, putting her into a hypnotic trance, W5 trying to do the same to Kelaeon but he's quick enough to look away from the bewildering patterns.

Persophone's beam causes W2 and W4 to start swimming in tiny circles, before Jasmine's ball of energy blasts W4. W4 stops moving but tiny bubbles tell you its still alive. Bryan's shot hits W1 squarely again, it staggering back wounded. Tarja's knife slices through W5, odd ooze seeping out if its wounds. It stays standing, but its wheezing heavily. Kira appears next to Kelaeon, snarling at the water-types. The pokeball goes wide, hitting ground with a metallic clank.

W1 swirls it belly at Bryan, but its targetting is off. W2 swims in lazy circles before stopping, shaking its head and fires a blast of water at Bryan. Though the water connects, Bryan is able to roll with the pressure, shrugging the brunt of the damage. W3 fires at the newly released Prometheus, the jet of water colliding with the goo hard. W5 fires a blast of water at Kira, throwing the mon off balance. W1 and W5 both dive into the water and swim to the saftey of the middle of the stream.

Bryan swears under his breath at the Signal Beam missing. There were ways to make up for the fault, but it was still an annoyance. He walks over to J8 to better guard the group, yells "Girls, stay back. Don't want the mons hurting any of you," and fires at W1 again. It's hard to tell if he's trying to be gentlemanly or is just being sexist. Could really sound either way.

Tarja reaches out with her Telekinesis to retrieve her dagger as she speaks directly into Irelia's mind. 'Wake up you lazy kitty!' She then raises a brow as one the men stepped forward. "Oh? What a gentleman." She smirked as she took aim at her next target, not minding the idea of a meat shield.

Kelaeon's ball collides, absorbing the Poliwag instantly. Kite and Prometheus both shoot wide, blasting nothing but empty water. Francis tries to throw the pokeball, but he fakes himself out and never releases it from his hand (its not used). Bryan's shot down's Poliwag 1, its body drifting lazily in the water.

W2 swims across the rest of the water and hops out and shots dual streams of water with W3 at Bryan for 37 damage. Also: 'dex have ID them as Poliwags.

Bryan spits out a bit of the water. "Would you guys mind not playing Safari Zone and help me kill these stupid things!? Kite, slam that one!" he yells. He points his gun at W3 and Kite dives through the water, leaping out and slamming into the tadpole. Bryan wades into Uxie knows what (I8), and fires.

[Major]

Kelaeon took a deep breath and tried to recall his training. If he could pick up enough speed and use his training he should be able to run and possibly jump across the water to stab the poliwag. Even if he failed the jump his movement speed should allow him to rush across it quickly without being submerged in the crap.

Moving quickly he sprang into action with a jump to clear the water. As the man flew threw the air he readied his blade landing with a descending stab at the poliwag as he landed beside it.
