An update after a bit of a break..
B wins.
Million was the last to get upon Aerodactyl’s back.
“Well, I reckon we should check out this Azure Flute,” he told his merry little gang, “GFaqs prison, it is.”
“I’ll see Ice again, the greatest Guard of all time!” Blitz remarked, then paused, “Shit I’m a wanted criminal.”
“Aeroy,” yelled Ruesap, his voice echoping within the stony temple walls, “Fly us out of here!”
The fossil bird obliged and tore a massive hole through the ancient building, through history itself.
“Aeroy!” it screamed, shrilly.
There was a nagging voice in Million’s mind. They had gotten so caught up in this mystery that he had left someone behind...
[QUOTE USER="CrossDragon" TIME="1207802231"]I thought the update was to look for Cross and Ominious? >_>[/QUOTE]
“I know, Cross,” he said, sadly, “I know. But my job was, first and foremost, to find out what happened to those two officers. I wouldn’t be much of a private detective if I didn’t finish my business with Iggy.”
“You’re not much of a private detective, anyway,” Blitz said, happily, “You should’ve stayed in Saffron but instead you’re taking a break...”
“<_<” said Million.

“They’re not here,” said Rose staring inside the ranger’s log cabin, at the very tip of Rock Tunnel.
A voice piped up from her earpiece.
“Yes. They have left. Sources tell us they have spotted a large winged creature flying from Lavender. That, if anything, must be their transport.”
Rose nodded. “Where do you want me to go?”
“They were flying at approximately 80km per hour, in a North-Westerly direction. We don’t know where they’re headed, but at this rate, they’ll be at Vermillion City by noon, clearly not enough time.” There was a pause.
“Yes, it is agreed, back to base immediately, and perhaps you can catch the magnet train to wherever they’re going. If they’re headed to Johto, we have our other officers on standby.”
Rose began to raise her hand to turn the earpiece off.
“And Agent Rose?”
“Yes, sir?”
“If you catch up with them, try not to kill them. We don’t want to cover up another Leaky Pelliper incident.
“Yessir, Mr. Fantasty.”
”Good.”
The line went dead.
* * *
“It’s amazing,” shouted Ruesap, his voice straining against the air current “how fast these creatures can fly!”
“But where are we going!?” the detective shouted at the top of his lungs.
This time Blitz piped up, “Gamefaqs prison is in Blackthorne! We’re going westwards!”
Million nodded,
Johto, and gamefaqs prison
It was dinnertime when they had touched down just outside the Ice Cave.
“Great,” said Million, quickly putting on his coat, “more bloody ice.”
Blitz pointed towards the Dragon’s Den. “And we’ll find a lot more bloody Ice right through that gate” (see wut I did thar?)
“What are waiting for?” asked Ruesap walking towards the docks.
All visitors, please make their way to the security area before entering the Den. Thankyou and have a good evening.
Million walked over to the front desk. “Excuse me, ma’am,” he began, “We here to see, Warde—
Blitz interrupted, grabbing Million’s sleeve. “You’re not getting in that-a way. Let’s go boys.”
“Azumarril!”
The blue mouse Pokemon stood on a pile of three unconscious security guards. It flexed its muscles happily. Blitz shook his head, “The state of our law enforcement,” he said sadly. “Well? Put the uniforms on!”
Ten minutes later, Officer Daggers, Sap and Blitz walked casually through the front gates, without so much as a question aimed in their direction.
“Where’s his office?”
Blitz said nothing. He was sitting in the corner staring at the corner of the foyer, staring at the CCTV cameras. Prisoners, the worst to ever exist in Johto, languished in their cells.
“I ain’t going in there.”
“Oh come on, Mr. Blitz!” said Ruesap.
“Marrill! Marrill!”
Million fiddled in his pocket. There were several wrappers inside, a couple of irrelevant keys and...
“A key card. Come on guys.”
Blitz grudgingly got up and followed, Million, Ruesap and Azumarrill.
“If anything happens,” he said looking around warily, “I’m blaming you.”
Million walked over to the very end of the hallway, there was a door marked Security and Officials only. Placing the card on the door, he managed to get several results:
There was a green ping.
Then an alarm began to whine.
The door creaked open.
“Hello Mr. Daggers,” voices came from both sides. In front of the door stood a man in a sleek black suit. On the other, behind them, stood a man with a long black coat.
“Come with me,” they said simultaneously. He looked at both of them, who should I trust? He was answered with Pokemon battle music.
Shit,he thought.
A double battle
* * *
"Feraligatr stop!" said the voice that we all know.
"Fera?"
The duo stood outside the Saffron Media Corporation and stared into the thick shiny windows.
"They'll know where CrossDragon is!" he said to noone in particular. The boy named gameboy, but who preferred to be called Jerem, stepped off his savage Crocodile pokemon. He stepped inside the building.
"Where's CrossDraon?" he bellowed.
"Excuse me sir," came a woman's voice, "Do you have an appointment?"
"I have an appointment with CrossDragon," said the boy determined not to give into her feminine wiles.
"Er... I'll go get him then shall I?"
"Yes."
Minutes later, too buff looking men stepped out of the elevator. They pointed at Jerem and moved towards him.
"Sir, we're going to have to ask you to leave."
"Where's CROSSDRAGON?!" he asked, his voice rising to new pitches.
"Sir, Cross--"
"GO! Garchmop!!"
"Garchmop?"
"CHOMP, MOP?" growled the fierce land shark as it exploded from its pokeball.
It gave a look of agony, then fel to the ground with a thud. Narrowly missing the two guards.
"Please try to keep it down," said a voice, as the smoke cleared. Truthiness stood with a Mamoswine by his side. "What do you want Mr. boy?"
"I want to see CrossDragon, NAO!"
"Why," began Truthi, "I think he left to Lavender town with Mr. Daggers, just a few days ago..."
ZOMG, thought gameboy3333,
Lavender Town... And the gretest battle of all time....
"I'm actually heading off there myself, care to join me?"
Jerem nodded. He waved at the two astounded guards. "Bye bye," he said happily and ran out the building. Truthiness followed him.
"Wish me luck," he said nervously to the anxious faces that filled the foyer.

“Ruesap and me can take the suit,” said Blitz, “You get the hood!”
The man in the suit stepped into the light of description and was revealed to be a large man, with thick spectacles on resting on his pointy nose. He had a short black beard and a thick, tree-trunk neck. He flexed his biceps.
“Call me L-Beast,” he said gruffly, “And double battles are just my thing. Go Gyarados! Go Dragonite!”
“Go Ursaring!”
“Go Aer—,” Ruesap stared at his hands for a moment.
Was it worth it? he asked himself and quickly made up his mind,
I have to... “Go,” he shouted, “Raikou!”
“Ursa!” bellowed the bear.
“Raiii!”
Million was dumbstruck.
What the hell was that thing?
From L-Beast’s side emerged his two dragons, one of the sort of a dragon, but not really.
“GRAHH!” [My god, I wish I was a real dragon]
“Nite!” [Screw you, Gyara]
Million shook his head and turned to the battle at hand. “If this is what it will take to stop you, Mr. Daggers,” said the hood taking a Pokeball himself, “Then it shall pass. We are Ominous Doom.”
“Okay this is getting ridiculous,” Million said out loud, “You’re dead!! First you come and kidnap Cross now this?”
The man sniggered. “Go! Spiritomb!”
“Shiftry, let him hav—
”Spiritomb, Pursuit!”
"Spiritomb"
In an instant the blob of smoke materialised in front of the detective’s face. It grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him underground.
“The detective’s downfall,” laughed the hood dryly, and then he too disappeared.
All this went unbeknownst, however, to the other three battlers and they bellowed commands to their pokemon.
“Ursaring! Façade on Dragonite!”
“Raikou, Sub!”
L-Beast laughed. “Both of you, Dragon Dance!”
The two leviathan’s did the same thing as a certain gameboy’s Feraligatr, they hopped up and down vigorously. The more observant reader can perhaps at this point understand that a Dragon Dance, all Dragon Dances in fact, will bear an uncanny similarity to Barney the Dinosaur. On mute.
The beasts roared, muscles bulging, reflexes pushed to the limit. Dragonite, in particular readied itself by throwing its Lum Berry into its mouth, it knew what was coming next. It did not, however, expect 280 pounds of angry bear to slash at its silken dragon body.
Ursaring used Façade!
A critical hit!
Dragonite lost 100% of its health
L-beast’s Dragonite fainted
“Dragonite!”
“He he”, went the Blitz
L-Beast quickly recovered from watching the Ursaring tear holes into the Dragonite with its jagged death.
“Earthquake! Gyara!”
A huge tremor tore through the field, which was, in this case, a small corridor.
Ruesap and Blitz where thrown backwards. The heavy frame of L-Beast stood still. The wall groaned, dust and plaster poured down on the battlers.
Ursaring was thrown on the wall, its mouth half full, and collapsed. The Burn had taken its toll. Blitz ran towards his fallen comrade. Raikou’s substitute was also torn to shreds. But not before a bolt of lighting, vengefully exploded from the crumbling ragdoll. Gyarados succumbed to its 4x weak and fell to the ground with a loud crash. L-Beast glared at the two and quickly ran off.
“Backup,” he yelled into his walkie-talkie, “Million Daggers is not here!”
The two battlers realised this as well, and stopped tending to their Pokemon. “Million?” they shouted in unison, “MD?”
* * *
The detective, not actually hearing these voices but sensing something anyway, jolted awake.
“swjk ces;ldlkjdl,” said he, then more intelligibly: “where am I?”
He was chained down to a pipe in the wall. There was a dim roar around him.
“Is someone there?” he yelled into the murky black.
“I could throw you off these falls right now, for all the trouble you’ve caused, Mr. Daggers”
“Who are you?”
“No one important,” said the shadow, “I am but a slave to the great Arceus.”
It was a cult! he said to himself,
Slowflake was right, Arceus cults existed. And Ominous Doom and co. were part of one!
“We’ve looked for you for a while now. From Saffron onwards. Even our expertly trained
hunters couldn’t find you,” his voice was delicate and whispery.
“Even Miss Rose”
The man walked away laughing, “Ahaha a private detective. We will leave in a few minutes.”
Million thought of his options.
There were no Pokeballs in his belt; obviously the man had taken them away. The chain was strong. He wouldn’t be able to snap it. But the pipe
was pretty old. In a cupboard next to him there was the glisten of red. Perhaps there were pokeballs in there, he could use one to escape.
Ominous’ friends would be here at any minute. What should he do?
A.) Break the pipe, burst out of the storeroom and club Ominous Doom around the head.
B.) Try to open the cupboard and get a Pokeball out.
C.) Try to smooth talk your way out of a possibly messy situation
D.) Wait until Ominous’ friends come
Our hero is captured! Blitz and Ruesap are on the run! CrossDragon is still missing! And what the hell is happening with gameboy?!
