Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sol didn't bother to take a seat. "I'm sure you don't need us all sitting, or do you plan to floor us with this show?" He commented.

Amaranth and Cera were a little better about taking a seat, doing so rather quickly and without comment.

Sub wouldn't say much else, instead he turned to face the TV on the wall as he took out a small remote control from his pocket. Before he did anything else, he turned around and pressed a button on the remote, causing the TV to turn on and reveal an image of some sort of landmass, a map. "This, is the Kalos region. As some of you may know, the Kalos region is a major tourist destination, their rich culture and incredibly old landmarks draw in much money for the region. Kalos is considered my some to be one of the oldest regions in terms of a human presence on it."

He would then press another button on the remote, causing the image to change to one showing some sort of emblem, a royal crest of sorts. "The Kalos region is also one of the last regions to be ruled by a monarch. Granted, in this day and age the king is mostly a figure head and possesses limited executive power. However, as a cultural icon for the Kalos region the king possesses tremendous influence on all comings and goings and the region. If there is something the king doesn't like, it is changed or gotten rid of, period."

Again, he would change the image on the screen, this time showing a bar graph, one blue bar and one red, both almost equal in length. "Recent polls have shown that the citizens of Kalos are near evenly split when it comes to opinion of the king. One half says that they favor the king, most citing that the king is the cultural and historical Representative of Kalos. Others consider the king to be an ancient relic of the past that shouldn't exist in modern times."

Sub would then turn the TV back off, pocketing the remote and now focusing on the Snagems before him. "Now that we had a little history lesson on the region, let's get to the point of this meaning. With Kalos so divided it would only be a matter of time before the peaceful region falls into a civil war. I propose we investigate the inner workings of Kalos and see if we can't mend the two sides and prevent any future fighting."

"Perhaps not, but it just depends on how brave the king gets with his powers. A pot can only boil for so long before it overflows, no?" He asked the girl.

Some time after the Snagems entered, a familiar Absol casually let herself in. It was close to Halloween and it only seemed proper to make a few appearances around the cities and towns. The Absol made herself at home, flopping down behind the couch as Sub changed the channels. Soon enough, she dozed off.

Veronica was just getting out of bed - holding a record for being lazy for so long. Though as it went, her first sight made her jolt awake. One of her pokeballs was on the floor, open. She checked her team, Of course, she would be the kind to run off... But the real fear was whether or not she wanted to permanently leave.

Hurriedly, she went around quietly searching for the Absol. "Cherry..." she called out to the Absol sleeping soundly behind the Snagems. "What are you doing here?" Veronica asked in whispers rather embarrassed.
"Ab!" the pokemon suddenly got up, aware that she had dozed off. Veronica glanced at the others, unsure if she was willing to do some social interactions yet, it had been so long. At least it didn't feel awkward.
The Absol stepped back before Veronica could take out her pokeball. "Ab.." she called again. Cherry jumped forward to push Veronica towards the door, then rushed out of the building.

Veronica took a moment, "I'll be back soon..." she went after Cherry. They seemed to be talking about something important anyways. Oh had it been quite so long since she even said anything, since she went out on a mission... Even Veronica herself wasn't sure what had happened, what caused her to be isolated for so long. Maybe she should return with candy or something for Halloween.

"And if they squash too hard, they'll get a whole lot after them." Cera chimed in, recalling the past. "Still... I dun think a lot of us really know about this region at all. So how are we gonna get there?"

Amaranth looked over at Cera, not too sure of how to get there either despite events.

With the whole discovery of the Kalos region, apparently GRAY got updated with the latest information about the Pokemon as a whole, let alone the Pokemon typically native in the Kalos region. New attacks discovered and a new classification of Pokemon types - the Fairy type. I found it weird for scientists and professors would come up with some sort of off the wall name for a type, but considering the nature of the Fairy type and the attacks to follow, I guess I could see why.

As I read up on the Fairy type in my SNAG in the main room of the headquarters, sitting on the couch next to Telia, my Gardevoir, who was playing around with a rag-doll Mr. Mime, I started to read up on with this new type classification, they had to check and double check their earlier classifications of Pokemon to see if they were in fact still valid. A handful of Pokemon, like the Snubble and Azurill evolution line did in fact get such a change or just simply got the type added to them. One Pokemon in particular caught me off guard. ".......the hell?"

"Voir?" Telia spoke up.

"You're a fairy type?" I asked her, staring at her in confusion.

"Garde? Voir?"

"Yes you...holy hell, that means your mother is too." I said, rubbing the back of my head.

"Gardevoir voir?" the Pokemon asked curiously.

"Nooo...your brother isn't a fairy type. And considering how he is, probably for the better."

"Voir..." Disappointment was abound as she started to hug her Mr. Mime doll.

The two of us looked back over towards Sub. "Whats that, Sub?"

"I want you to have a battle with me." Sub simply said, his normal goofy and aloof attitude disappearing the moment he spoke.
