Welcome to Gaia! ::

"We may as well find Aden and get him out from in the middle of the sea." I said to him. "I don't think his Poliwhirl could stand to carry him across so far yet."



Items? Looted. Pokemon? Stashed elsewhere. His wits? Let's get back to that some other time. When Aden finally comes to, he'd find himself in a room all on his own, hands and feet tied down with rope. He'll find that he's in some sort of storage for the moment. Supplies lie everywhere for this crew's 'business'. Crates around everywhere. Air shaft above. Light dimly lighting the room for that matter. And the room in general smelled kind of putrid. It would probably go without saying that they really didn't care for Aden's 'housing' conditions compared to the crew that stayed aboard the ship.

Luckily, the only item of true value was Aden's SNAG. Though that loss was bad enough, and one he wasn't aware of just yet. Same for his Pokemon. As for wits... well. One might argue whether or not he had any, to try and go against something that had the upper hand like this. But then, he'd done it before and came out alright.

This time, though, not so much. The horrid scent of the room was enough to make him come to, with his first instincts being to move. Only, he found this to be an impossible task, and didn't know why until he was able to inspect a little. Despite the dim lighting, he could make out that rope... oi. Yeah, this was a fine mess.

"Ngh... really? How do I get myself into these situations? Oh yeah." He muttered, his next instinct being to roll about the little bit he could. "I venture off, end up in a weird place, and the trouble finds me." He tried to remain calm, but at this point, he was anything but. He was surprised he was able to manage his senses, in case of anything different in the room.

"Alright, there's gotta be something-" Aden's train of thought broke as he went to move again, only for the rope to stop him. "Aaaah, stupid rope! This is really getting... oh." It was at this point that the simple fact that this was rope finally sank in. Something that didn't take well to anything sharp or consuming.

Such as fire. Feeling a little stupid for not doing this sooner, he let the removal of this rope become first priority and focused what fire chi he had. Get what he could, build it up... when he thought he had enough, he expelled it with a single Heat Wave. Being bound didn't keep him from trying that much.

The rope burned and soon enough, Aden was free from his bindings. Now there was the matter of getting out of this storage, let alone finding his stuff and Pokemon...



I jumped up and took off, making my way off for the straight myself. I could fly for a good while, but even I had my limits. I could only hope I do find Aden soon.

Ryan kept Orth on course to intercept Aden by using his SNAG. it looked like they were drawing closer.

"Knew it. Probably don't want me leaving. Know too much..." Aden wasn't inclined to sit around, let alone let any fears grip him. "Yeah, if knowing there's a bunch on a ship that like to steal Pokemon and kidnap people is too much, they don't want any part of what I'm going to be if I get started. Maybe Nidoran or Mareep would be good here. Or that new-"

He stopped after his hand went into his vest. Nothing was there. He checked another to be sure, getting the same results. Now frantic, he checked his entire person. None of his Pokemon were on him, neither was his SNAG, and the pack he had been keeping his items in? Gone. All of it.

"...one..." Understandably, he was far from pleased. Forget the air vent, he was looking for a door. "Okay, you can mess with a Pokemon that took me around here, mess with me, leave me with hair that looks like I enjoy light sockets..." Throughout this time, what chi he had was being exuded from his body, amplifying.

"Take my Pokemon, though, because I've seen your operations after putting me in a cage!? You guys let me out before I find out how I can use a crate!" He yelled, no longer in any mood to keep a calm tone.

Across the storage was a metal door, though if Aden checked it, he'd find it locked, obviously. It'd take a quite bit of force to blow this door off. Aden's yells would go ignored for the most part. Rather it be any one near by not giving a care, or they just simply couldn't hear him.



"Hey Ryan?" I spoke up over the SNAG from the skies. "There off to the east, I think I see some sort of ship. You think he may be over that way?" I asked him.
