"Ah, Arthur, pleased to meet you as well." He said to the boy with a nod. "No need to bow. So, I'm sure you are exhausted, would you like to retire to your room? Or perhaps I could give you the grand tour?" Sub asked Arthur, he then heard GRAY and grunted. "I knew I should have replaced those sensors after that last fiasco with Io." He said with a grunt. "Find Reno and tell him that only one person in this building gets to blow stuff up and that's me, oh and I want to see him, yeah, that's important too."

Room? So they had been expecting him, or at least expecting someone new. Considering the level of secrecy Arthur assumed the group had, he guessed that they'd been expecting him. The man who'd given him his first mission might have been responsible, though he didn't really see him around anywhere. Maybe that was the "Gray" Sub seemed to be talking to.
"Could I have the tour?" Arthur asked. Before Sub responded, though, a voice suddenly went off from nearby by. It sounded like the one Arthur had heard on his mission, though its speech sounded more...human. Maybe that was the Gray person, though he didn't sound the same as the man he'd seen. So just who was this "Gray."
Listening as he explained the situation, Arthur found confusion with most of what Gray said. "Ps-psychic...chi?" Arthur repeated. "What's that? And what's an I-O."

A small whirring would occur as GRAY did his best to process what exactly was happening with Reno. Going backwards from when the signal had occurred and finding Reno running from...something, GRAY pressed forward with his review of Reno's actions before finally arriving at the moment Reno began to panic, the sight of a small chunk of rock on the table. Shaking his immaterial head at this, GRAY wound the tape back to a moment before Reno arrived and grew confused due to the chunk of rock appearing within the room one frame exactly after Reno did and not existing before that. Finally locating Reno's first moments in the lab, GRAY caught sight of the meteorite chunk and focused in on it to confirm his suspicions. Finally having the information needed to explain Reno's sudden explosion of Psychic chi, GRAY went back to the sensors that had been dormant for quiet some time.
Viewing Reno's room through one of the cameras, the lack of Reno being within the room puzzled the AI before he finally managed to simply return to trying to speak to Sub. "It would seem that Reno managed to find a singular meteorite chunk in the lab. Guess your perfect solution wasn't as perfect as you thought. And I would gladly talk to the red haired Mankey, but it seems whatever he did managed to fry his SNAG.....again......while also managing to allow him to teleport out of the building to somewhere outside of Johto. I would gladly help you find him, but I'm a little busy not caring about where eh ended up this time." Finally returning his full focus to the new member at the door, the AI breathed a metaphorical sigh before going through with his next action.
"Welcome to the Team Snagem base. My name is GRAY and I will be showing you the place. There is the main room. All of the tour I wish to do is over, you may now explore at your own pleasure." A tinny and canned recording echoed out over the loud speakers around the two men, while GRAY did his best to think of a way to explain chi and what exactly happened before getting a slightly devilish thought. "If you have any question, feel free to ask the man who greeted you at our door. And be very careful with him, in his old age, he tends to forget some things." The AI snidely added, hoping the jokes about Sub's age and his current 'mission' would not simply float over their heads.

"Oh, chi is uh...well...energy. It's life energy. You know when a Pokemon uses an attack like, Hyper Beam? Chi is the energy it fires, hard to explain. As for Io, she was some crazy woman who is dead now, don't worry about her." Sub explained to Arthur, he then heard GRAY and sighed, taking out his SNAG and looking over the chi readings. "Whatever Reno had is far too weak to be part of the meteorite, plus I know for a fact we collected them all. You're losing your touch, GRAY. And I have you know I'm not even thirty yet." He huffed.

Cera said, huffing herself and floating near Sub. And it was a good thing it was so weak; if whatever Reno had was any stronger, someone would've been holding a Mew back before she decided to nuke the thing from this plane of existence.

Reviewing his memories of the meteorite and of the lab before Reno arrived during his strange hunt for that meteorite chunk, GRAY came to a similar realization as Sub. Giving a defeated sigh audible over the speakers around the two, GRAY decided to do his best to save what little respect they had for him. "It would seem that you are correct, Sub. Your solution was as perfect as you repeatedly claimed it would be. Don't let it go to your head, a one in a million chance usually never comes around again in your life." GRAY's snide reply to Sub would be his last bit of speech as he began to run analysis on the meteorite from the little footage there was of it in order to discern what it's purpose and design was to create the odd disturbance in the base.

The strange voice sounded yet again, giving another update to the situation. Apparently someone named Reno had set off the alarms and was now unreachable...or at least that's what Arthur got out of it. "A double agent?" Arthur thought briefly. "He must be some kind of genius." He immediately imagined an evil mastermind with a computer for hacking, a monocle, and a Persian.
When Gray addressed Arthur, he gave he gave him the shortest tour he'd ever imagined, just giving the name of the room and telling him to explore on his own. Whoever Gray was, he wasn't that enthusiastic about his job. "Thank you," he said anyway. Looking to Sub for more information, he found that his explanation was also missing some key information. Still, it was enough for him to get the gist of what chi was all about.
"So a Psychic Pokemon invaded once?" Arthur asked as he remembered Gray's words. Before an answer was given, Arthur was surprised as a newcomer approached. Maybe it was because of his time in the woods that he wasn't freaked out about her appearance. He did however ask the most obvious question, "how are you floating?"

Kaya Rayvn walked up the side of Mt. Silver with a smile on his face. It would be good to see Lykas again after all the years he'd been gone. "Primrose, you'll get to meet one of my best friends when we get there." He informed his Leavanny, the Pokemon walking beside him with a grin of her own.
It didn't take too long to reach the mountain cave, where the blue-haired teen had informed him he would be found. "Just behind the waterfall, huh?" He noted as he entered the cave, pulling out a flashlight. Primrose stayed close as her master lit up the cavernous interior of the mountain. The duo made their way to the waterfall and found a way behind it rather quickly.
Once behind it, the Snagem complex was easy to identify. "This must be the place." Kaya stated to his partner. "Vanny!" Primrose agreed as they approached the building and knocked on the front door.
Odd was in the kitchen, eating a bowl of soup when the knock rang through the lobby. Catching the sound and hearing no one going to answer the door, he set his bowl on the table and headed towards it himself. Rather than opening the door, he simply phased through the wall next to it. "Can I help you?" He asked of the silver-haired male standing outside.
"Eep!" Kaya yelped as he flinched at the sight of a person walking through a solid wall. "Uh....I'm looking for Lykas Fenrall. He told me he'd be here....
"He's not in at the moment but if you want to want to come inside and wait for him,you can on the condition you don't go anywhere besides the lobby and kitchen...." Odd replied as he phased back through the wall and opened the door.
"Why can't I go anywhere else?" Kaya asked as he entered the building and looked around.
"Obviously we're not out in the open for a reason. It's for your own good that you see as little as possible. Otherwise we can't let you leave." Odd responded as he stepped aside, showing Kaya the main lobby.
"Well, sure. According to Lykas, you guys are like global peacekeepers. I can understand why." Kaya replied as he trained his mismatched eyes on the nearest sofa. "Sweet! A couch!" He was quick to dive headlong onto it, getting plenty cozy as Primrose stepped inside and bowed to Odd in respect.
"Well.....Um....I'm gonna have to have a talk with that guy...." Odd groaned as he realized Lykas had blabbed about the team. "So, out of curiosity, how do you know Lykas?"
Kaya looked at the Ghost Channeler as he gave the question some thought. "Put simply, we grew up together." He admitted.
"I see...." Odd responded as he walked over. "Well that explains one thing. It doesn't explain where you got that Snag Machine from, though." He pointed out.
"Snag Machine? This is a T.O.P.L." Kaya countered as he held up the hand with the crudely made machine on it.
"...." Odd thought about how he should proceed with this. This guy was obviously wearing one of the replica Snag Machines that were floating around Orre but he had no idea what it really was. "Sir..."
"Call me Kaya."
"Kaya....I'm afraid you'll need to come with me for a few minutes." He told the man, who seemed to have no interest in following. "Baroque!" The Cofagrigus in question appeared from the stairs at Odd's beckoning and grabbed Kaya with little more than Odd pointing him out, dragging the young man into his hollow body in order to detain him. "Let's go find Sub."
Primrose stood, aghast, at what she had just seen. What was happening?! She chose to follow closely but not attack unless she had to.

Fancy Mr A The strange voice sounded yet again, giving another update to the situation. Apparently someone named Reno had set off the alarms and was now unreachable...or at least that's what Arthur got out of it. "A double agent?" Arthur thought briefly.

He did however ask the most obvious question, "how are you floating?" "Reno? A double agent and genius? Hardly, he just has a habit of poking his nose where it doesn't belong, right, GRAY?" Sub asked aloud. "Right." GRAY responded in an annoyed voice. "By the way, that voice you keep hearing over the loudspeakers? That's GRAY, an artificial intelligence I stole from Silph Co. and modified, helps run the place, problem is he is on the snide side, so don't let him get to you." He explained to Arthur. "Psychic Pokemon? Close, but no dice, it was a woman who did, one with psychic powers herself, and Psychic Pokemon, she was crazy to say the very least." He then noticed that Arthur took notice of Cera and laughed. "What's wrong? Never seen a Mew before?" He figured Arthur would have noticed that Cera was a Mew rather than her floating.

"Not really," he said as he examined Cera. "I've never even heard of one." Opening his SNAG, Arthur used the Pokedex option to scan the Mew. "L-legendary," he repeated after the explanation was over. What would a legendary Pokemon be doing in a place like this? According to the scanner, Mew only appeared to people who were pure of heart... "If you're a Mew," Arthur began, "why aren't you hiding from me?" It wasn't that he was implying that he was bad or anything, but how would Cera know?

"Because it's more fun to mess with others' heads." Cera teased. Really, it hadn't dawned on her; her knowledge on her own species was a shade limited, and on top of that, she didn't exactly know how to hide outside of how most people would hide, or at least not yet.
That, and there wasn't such a thing as a pure heart here. "Besides, what, am I not allowed here? Maybe I could show you around a room or two, though..." She said, giving a smirk that might've worried Arthur slightly.

Darts flips a switch on the coffee maker in the kitchen, letting the water flow out of the pot and into the maker with a long luxurious motion, filled with the promises of delicious coffee and.... more delicious coffee. He puts the pot back inside to wait for it to brew, the sounds letting him know he wouldn't be waiting long.

He puts the pot back inside to wait for it to brew, the sounds letting him know he wouldn't be waiting long. "Typical, whenever I smell coffee I know you're near." Sub said to Darts as he entered the kitchen. "What happened to you on our last little outing? You still have a debt to repay."

"I got warped through to the Distortion World through some kind of unconscious action." Darts replies, watching the coffee pot with his winking red eyes, not even turning towards Sub. "But seeing as you're technically right what can I do for you?"
