Draloed:
You reach the Elder's house at about 3PM. As you enter the premises, you notice what has happened with Elder Saha and Raichu and you also notice that Dove is clutching Fate's arm happily...an occurrence that he is clearly not enjoying.
Elder Aquai is sitting in his usual chair, looking at the scene amused...and nevertheless frustrated with the recent string of bad events.
The Elder notices you enter the room and says:
"Oh, my lad! You're back. Have you finished up in town? If so, let's wait a bit for the others, so I can tell you what you need to do to start this quest off." ((Yay! ))

"Ha! That grimer doesn't look too well, now! Not that it really looked all that well to begin with... Anyway, let's see if that's enough!"
I throw a Pokeball at the Grimer.

I feel pretty happy after my capture of Grimer, but feel the need to replace the Pokeball I had to use, just then. As well as get a few other things. So, I head to the shop. I purchase:
1 Pokeball
1 Potion
2 Antidotes

After a perfectly productive half hour spent doing nothing but drown worms (actually, the rod had a built in lure; a hook topped by a bright orange sinker with exaggerated scale markings. This was fortunate as Pidgey would have probably eaten any worms had she needed to dig them up, and she didn’t have to worry about worm guts) Mina found she felt much better.
"It calmed you down, didn't it?"
“Yes, yes it did.” Mina answered happily. The occasional shake from her pack had ceased to be a source of anxiety and had become an event to look forward to.
She put away the rod (and stuffed the beat-up water bottle that had been the only thing she’d managed to catch into a spare pack pocket; it had holes in it and wasn’t any good for holding water any more, but she’d have felt guilty throwing it back, and maybe the egg could use it as a chew toy…) and shouldered her pack again, then started heading back to Elder Aquai’s house. She was within easy shouting distance of the door when—
Crack!
Mina froze. She took her pack off and set it down as hastily as she dared, sitting down so she could lift the (now visibly cracked) egg out of its safe haven and into her lap. Tense seconds passed as the shell cracked further, Pidgey leaning over her shoulder and finally landing nearby to watch this curious happening. Finally a pale yellow head pushed out of the shell and the tiny creature within pulled itself—(Mina took a fraction of a second to glance at the Pokedex)—herself out of the egg.
“Piii?”
Mina was overwhelmed.
“Hi,” she crooned down to the little yellow ball of fur. For a moment she couldn’t say anything more, as a pair of round, brown-black eyes looked up at her from the pale furry face. Pidgey peered over to get a better look at the newcomer and—
Spark!
—hopped back in surprise as a miniature bolt of electricity arched back at him.
“Careful,” Mina warned softly, stifling a giggle at the startled looks both Pokemon wore. “She’s little; she hasn’t learned how to control her powers yet. Hello little one, welcome to the world.”
Mina reached out and stroked the newborn’s ((newhatched’s???)) head with gentle fingers. The little Pokemon’s fur…almost hummed when she petted it; it felt a great deal like the time she’d accidentally touched the metal backing of an unplated light switch. It was odd, but rather pleasant. The little one’s shovel-shaped ears swiveled back happily and she chu’d softly.
“C’mon, you two,” Mina said happily, cradling the newborn in one arm (using the other to set the shell pieces back into the pack for the moment—she wasn’t sure what else to do with them) before shouldering her pack and standing. “Let’s go see if Elder Aquai needs us.”

Stacey, Omega, Misty:
You buy the items you wanted and decide to head out back to the Elder's House.
Also, you both ((Stacey and Omega)) get an Old Rod from the fishing rod man.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once Stacey and Omega reach the house, they notice that Mina, Draloed and Misty ((auto-piloted you back here )) are already there.
The Elder grins.
"Good. Just a few more party members left."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Korejora:
You stare down the Buizel for what seems an eternity and decide to try throwing a Poké Ball at it.
It shakes...
Once...
Twice...
Three times and...
Congratulations! You have just caught a Buizel!
Would you like to nickname the newly caught Buizel?
Buizel's Stats:
Gender: Male
Level: 5
HP: 22
Attack: 13
Defense: 10
Sp. Atk: 12
Sp. Def: 9
Speed: 15
Ability: Swift Swim
After your catch, you notice that your Zigzagoon is holding something.
You receive a Potion!
You add it to your bag.
You then decide to return to the Elder's house.
You reach the house around 3PM ((coincidence eh? )) and see the other party members already there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As everyone, except Max, arrives at the Elder's house, the Elder stands up and starts talking:
"I see Max isn't here. He definitely reminds me of my nephew..."
He lets out a chuckle and continues:
"Fate, could you please patch him through your Pokédex so he can listen in?"
Fate nods and touches some keys on his Pokédex. He then holds it in his hand, allowing Max to listen in to the conversation.
Afterwards, the Elder resumes his talking:
"Ok...you all now have two Pokémon in your party. You are now better prepared for the challenges that await you. You see...Team Bandra has a base close to this village that threatens our well-being. You can choose to leave it there...or demolish it. You will be met with great resistance ((I'd hope so )), but I'm sure that with my son and my daughter in law ((lol )) Dove's help that you'll be able to defeat them."
The Elder's expression turns grim as he remembers something:
"I can't wait for the day that you all manage to wrest this region from their hands and you find the Guardian Pokémon. I miss the Pokémon League Challenge...it hasn't been held in over 7 years you know. My nephew was...or rather is, one of the Elite Four."
Fate nods proudly as his father attempts to continue...when suddenly...
Crack!
Misty opens her backpack just in time to see Eevee hatch from its egg:
Congratulations!
Would you like to nickname your newly hatched Eevee?
Eevee ()
Gender: Male
Level: 5
HP: 22
Attack: 12
Defense: 11
Sp. Atk: 11
Sp. Def: 13
Speed: 12
Ability: Adaptability
The Eevee learns Endure as an egg move!!!
Elder Aquai nods in affirmation of the event and tells Misty:
"I'm sure you'll be a good parent to that Eevee. Saha thought so...otherwise she wouldn't have given you the parcel."
He then thinks for a moment silently, while he reorders his thoughts:
"Ok...so you know what your options are. Attack the base to the west or bypass it completely by leaving through the south."
((I'll let you guys think about it.))
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Max:
((I apologize in advance for the summarizing/lack of input you have for the battle. I'm trying to get you guys out of the village already! ))
You walk to the "tall grass" and realize that it is a bunch of Oddish. One by one you defeat them. As your Pidgey reaches level 8, a particularly strong Oddish pops up. You decide to battle it.
The battle extends for several rounds, but it is clear who will win, thanks to the type disadvantage that the Oddish's attacks have against your Pidgey. Weakened sufficiently, you toss the Poké Ball.
It shakes once...
Twice...
Thrice...and...
Congratulations! You have caught an Oddish!
Would you like to nickname your newly caught Oddish?
Oddish ()
Level: 5
Gender: Female
HP: 21
Attack: 11
Defense: 12
Sp. Atk: 14
Sp. Def: 13
Speed: 9
Ability: Chlorophyll
Having caught the Oddish, you decide to go to the Mart.
((You get to go buy stuff, get an Old Rod, and then you go back to the house. You're hearing the conversation in real-time anyways, so it doesn't matter anyways. ))
((Ok...last update...for real now! Take care guys! Hope you had fun today! ))

I smile, thinking about the options that are presented to us. I let out a small laugh; almost a giggle.
"Destroy it, or leave it alone? Let's destroy that thing! Turn it to rubble! To ruins! That's more fun that letting the thing remain there, all peaceful-like."

Aquai grins at the party and says:
"I'm glad you all made that choice. You are all very spirited."
He then looks at Draloed and says:
"There is a Pokémon Center to the village in the south, but you could always rest here for a bit (about 3 hours time to heal). It's not as instant as a Pokémon Center, but it works just as well, assuming your Pokémon isn't Poisoned of course."
((I'm not going to be able to update anymore today...gotta do some homework and study for some tests.... This does give the remaining party members yet another day to catch up. Let's see if I can steal some time to update tommorrow...ok? Take care guys! ))

((I know how you feel winter. Stupid midterms. I don’t know how much I’ll be able to be here tomorrow but hopefully I’ll see you then.))
"Ok...you all now have two Pokémon in your party. You are now better prepared for the challenges that await you. You see...Team Bandra has a base close to this village that threatens our well-being. You can choose to leave it there...or demolish it. You will be met with great resistance, but I'm sure that with my son and Dove's help that you'll be able to defeat them.

Wow, Mina thought privately. Seven years? I wonder what happened that they’re just now calling for help? She looked over at Fate. And why are they calling for us when they have ties to the region’s Elite Four? Mina could think of a few reasons—none of which bode well.
“I’m with him,” Mina motioned in the albino trainer’s direction. ((winter have our characters been introduced to each other before the RPG started? I’m going to assume not for now.)) “We should find out what we’re up against first. Elder, how long has the base been there? How long have they had to fortify it, and are they likely to expect us coming?”
Mina looked thoughtful for a moment as she tried to think of everything a major base would need to function—anything any major organization would need, she guessed; food and supplies, electricity, internet or some other form of communication, water—perhaps there would be sentry patrols as well, and heavy security measures in place if the base was anything other than brand new and half-constructed. At last she added, “I think we need to scout out the area first, get an idea for the terrain and see if there’s anything we can use to our advantage.”

((Yay! I snuck a second update in! ))
(( To answer your question Kareeah...yes, everyone knows each other...you had some time to talk before the RPG started. ))
Mina:
Fate notices your look and says:
"It's a war out there. You may think Altros is their leader, but you'd be mistaken. We don't know how far this Team's influence reaches, but we do know of the existence of other Officers. Altros is the lowest ranked Officer, as a matter of fact. Many Trainers have perished, or otherwise been forced to serve the Team's interests. The Elite Four should now be called the Elite Two."
He smiles sadly as he continues:
"My cousin and the Grass-Type Elite, Emilia, are the remaining members of that group. Not even they can fight the ever-increasing forces of Team Bandra indefinitely. The Gym Leaders are trapped in their towns, trying to prevent Bandra from claiming more territory. Did I mention it's a war out there?"
Elder Aquai nods in response to the question and adds, with a tone of finality:
"Please. Rest now. You will be better able to scout the base during the night time."
((Ok...gone for real now! Sometimes I really resent college...))

Max: "Heh. An oddish, neat." Max throws the new pokeball up in the air and catches it again, heading into the mart.
Buys two pokeballs, a couple potions and an old rod.
"Hey Toast,"
"We're all set buddy." Max grinned.
His pokemon adventure was just beginning.

((Okay thanks ))
"It's a war out there. You may think Altros is their leader—”
(Mina tried very hard not to look insulted that he would honestly think her so foolish, but she knew Fate meant well and so held her tongue.)
“—Did I mention it's a war out there?"
“Yes, but why haven’t you guys called for help before this?” Mina replied. But the look on his face suggested this was a painful topic ((<--Let me know if you want me to change this winter; I don’t know your back story so I don’t know what would be appropriate.))
so she added hastily, “Never mind, it doesn’t matter now. I’m sure you had your reasons, and we’re here now.”
((I may not be able to be here much tonight; I’ll do what I can, but I have a major paper due tomorrow I HAVE to finish.))

Quote: ((<--Let me know if you want me to change this winter; I don’t know your back story so I don’t know what would be appropriate.))
((Don't worry about it. ))
Max arrives at the house, having done what he had set to do in the village. Fate notices him entering the house and turns off the voice link on the Pokédex.
Mina:
“Never mind, it doesn’t matter now. I’m sure you had your reasons, and we’re here now.”
Upon hearing this, Fate grins sadly and says:
"We believed that we could hold them back. We were very much mistaken. They have the greatest level of organization I've ever heard of in a Team. Now, as we call for your group's help, Team Bandra controls a great number of towns in this region."
After Fate says this, Dove puts an arm around his shoulders. Contrary to the expected reaction, he just smiles sadly...it seems he's really affected by what has happened recently.
Elder Aquai then motions the group to take a small rest (3 hours time).
As the group wakes up, you all notice that the sun is starting to set slowly but surely.
((All your Pokémon are healed, by the way. ))
Elder Aquai enters the room:
"It is time to set out on your first mission. It is becoming darker outside, as night sets in. The base is a few miles away ((about 5)), so you should reach it around 830-900PM."
Elder Aquai seems worried about something, but refuses to say what it is. He motions the group to the west exit:
"This is far as I go. I trust you will all be victorious. Destroying this base is the first step to securing the region."
He then looks at Dove, who is dressed now in a white shirt and blue jeans, and Fate, dressed as he was when the group arrived at the docks, not more than 8 or so hours ago, and says:
"Take care you two. And please...please, do not argue during this trip."
Fate shoots a *I doubt it, but I'll try* look at his father, while Dove retorts:
"He's the one that always..."
The elder looks at her with finality, walks up to her and whispers something to her ear. She blushes slightly and nods.
The elder then says his formal fare-thee-well (()):
"Take care, young ones! The fate of our region rests in your hands now."
With that said, the group starts the steady march towards Team Bandra's base located in the Slashpeak Cave.
((Updated! Ok...now you can all converse IC with one another, and with Dove and Fate, if you're so inclined. Take care guys! See you tomorrow or Friday! *waves*))

As always Misty is more preoccupied with the adventure ahead then anything. Being the 'blindly charging in type' she picks up her pokeballs and starts hikeing toward the goal. Despite stripes and eevee being in their pokeballs, she is talking away to them. "Well show these guys, won't we? Picking on innocent people, hurting pokemon, the nerve!"
She has taken about 20 steps when she turns around. "Hey, are you all coming?" it's then as if something dawns on her. "Oh right, um a plan. Isn't knocking the front door down an option? We can take them, I know we can!"

“Alright. You go and bust in there, if you want. I, and whoever else, will use the distraction of the commotion you cause to sneak into the base. We’ll do what we can to free you, when we’ve completed our task.”
I look entirely serious in saying this, and then grin.
“Nah. Not really. We should all try to do our best to sneak in, I think. Don’t let ‘em know we’re there, ‘til it’s too late!”

Mina giggled a bit at Stacey’s comment before regaining her serious composure.
“I agree we shouldn’t launch a headlong attack against their front gates; we don’t have the forces, for one. So since we’ve got a few hours’ journey ahead of us, let’s talk tactics.”
Mina’s hand brushed the Pokeball on her belt that currently held Pichu as if to assure herself that it was still there; Pidgey she had sent to circle around the party and warn them of incoming trouble as long as they were outside and he could see.
“I’ve been thinking about it since we regrouped, and I thought it might be a good idea to knock out their power if we can,” she continued. “Hopefully that will knock out their security cameras so they can’t immediately swarm us. Maybe we could lure them out a few at a time and deal with them that way, but I’m not sure how we could accomplish that.
