Team Snagem HQ (Mt. Silver)

[knux33]

"Good, and you?" Knux asked, raising an eyebrow. "You don't look like you got a lot of rest last night."  

[Darksol88]

This time, Sol was at least a little better about seemingly popping into existence. He was, however, nearby and when he got close to the others, it wasn't hard to notice Sub's disposition. "The reasons would be understandable for anyone, but I would presume you've had a rough night." He spoke up.  

[Requiem of Whyspers]

Odd was wandering through HQ with Adagio and A'Capella out of their Pokeballs. As much as he loved Replay, the Chatot did get a bit annoying when that was pretty much the only company he'd had for a while. Now he had several Pokemon to keep him company and he intended to spend plenty of time with all of them.

"So, Pops, when are we gonna get to that training you promised us?" A'Capella asked. It was obvious she was still young by the way she called Odd 'Pops'.

"Lit wick...Lit wick lit lit?" Adagio was curious as well. She'd had so much energy burning inside her lately that she felt like she was going to explode. She just knew something was going to happen soon but she wasn't sure what it was.  

[Darksol88]

"To be fair, we're not exactly better. Need I remind you of our modus operandi?" Sol asked. "That said, I'm of the notion that even we have standards. It's one thing to get others caught up. To constantly do so, only for one's own gain, is just a tad too far. Over the years, I've learned to keep matters like this from affecting me too much, with some exceptions. But I think anyone would be distraught over the circumstances."

He stepped a little closer. "On that note, did anything ever come of your contact with Professor Juniper?"  

[Darksol88]

"So, we have a name for the creature." To Sol, this was a good development. As he saw it, it might get to the point where hunting it down really would be a viable option. If only to keep Cipher from getting its own hands on it. "It's no small wonder we ran into Plasma like we did, then. I suppose it's better than nothing at all, though I wonder if Cipher's tried to get it theirselves. It's likely a no-brainer, but their own agenda may be elsewhere."  

[knux33]

Knux raised his eyebrows in interest, wondering if it seemed probable for them to acquire a legendary on their side, at least for a while. "It certainly would be nice to have this 'Victini' on our side. If we can find it before Cipher does," Knux agreed.  

[Darksol88]

"Not to mention it may just be the driving force we need to deal a major blow to them. I doubt it'll mind helping so long as the reasoning is just, provided it doesn't interfere with its own devices." Sol chimed in. "As for where it might be, it's hard to tell. Searching for a proverbial cloud of chi in a region's no different from trying to locate a needle in a haystack. Only difference is we'd feel it if we're closeby. Unless GRAY or miss Juniper have means we're not aware of. Regardless, I'd suggest it to be a search done relatively soon. Much as I wouldn't want to start what could be an arms race, we cannot afford Cipher to acquire it."  

[Darksol88]

Luckily for Sub, Sol was willing to let it be forced on. Normally he'd say something about suddenly being turned into a test subject, but realistically, the others have to worry about a few things if an experiment went wrong. For him, those worries were much less of an issue. Chance of horrible, untimely death? No problem!

"...Sub, this has to be the most half-baked idea I've heard from you yet." He spoke up, looking at the gauntlet that was now on his hand. "At the same time, I feel it's safe to say we've all seen that there's a method to your madness. That is, the name of science itself, and to do what you must for the sake of doing it. And whatever GRAY follows, though it may be best to leave that unknown. As for testing this..."

Focusing wasn't much of an issue for him. He was able to do that without a hassle. Same for forcing his own chi into the air for the gauntlet to absorb. "Just for reference, about how long of a range does this naturally have?"  

[knux33]

The brunet couldn't help but laugh at the look on Sub's face. He just looked so darn pleased with himself. "Way to go Sub! You've been fiddling with that long enough," he chuckled, but was very curious to see if the item would work. At Sol's comment, he looked to Sub, waiting for an answer. Or for the gauntlet to explode. Whatever came first. But, it seemed the item worked instead! Knux ducked a little when the device lit up, but sighed with relief when it appeared to be working. "... So, does it work Sol?" he asked, seeing as the hybrid would know better than any of them.  

[Darksol88]

"Guh." Immediately, Sol stopped the output of his chi for a bit. He hadn't expected the range to shoot up like that. "I'm seeing what you mean. I think I can finally say I know how Ceramew must feel on a daily basis. Not even my own senses are usually this attuned."

Now that he knew what to expect, he resumed pouring chi into the gauntlet. See how far he could get this to go before it'd overwhelm him...
