Arrival

Mark huffed before speaking. "Fine, you two can come in, but first, I need to get a water sample from the ocean." He said, walking towards the ocean (the side where Cloud's, and Road's characters are), when he got there, he was startled to see four people there. "What the- Who are you four and what are you doing here?" He asked irritated, he had had enough battling for the day...

Cloud turned to him. "Me and my friend are here to find out about Lucario. These ladys have their own reasons, i do not know of." He said, gliding a hand towards them.

Mark looked at them all one at a time. "And are you two girls looking to find out about Lucario as well?" He asked.

OOC: I should probably make the leader...

IC: Allen and Abby just stood there, waiting, and Allen broke the silence with an awkward question. "Um, Abby?" He asked, "Yes?" "I-I have kind of a personal question... D-do you like me?" He asked and Abby gave him an odd look. "Of course! You ARE my friend, after all." She answered with a sweet smile. "Th-that's not what I meant... I meant, do you like me...?" He asked, a blush starting to appear on his face, and she gave him another odd look and that's when he put his arms around her, quickly leaning in and kissing her lips, and after a few seconds, Abby also put her arms around Allen and they held the kiss for about 10 seconds before Allen gently broke it. "Allen..." Abby sighed, a deep blush on her face. "Abby, I-I love you, I've loved you from the moment I laid eyes on you..." He said, wondering if she would have the same feelings. "Allen, I love you too." She said, hugging him and Allen sighed with relief.

Mark sighed, his mood starting to lighten up. "Well, if you guys need somewhere to stay, then there are plenty of rooms at HQ. I just need to get an Ocean water Sample." He said, pulling out a beaker that had a sealing top on it.

Cloud smiled. "Thank you. But may i ask what you are doing here? And do you have any info on the whole Lucario subject?"

"Right now, I'm in charge of the Island. If She would just come back, then I could do what I was assigned to do as a member of the R&D Team..." He sighed, "And once She comes back, We'll have some information on Lucario, hopefully, anyway..." Just then, there was what sounded like metal clashing together from a distance. "Well, speak of the Devil..." He muttered.

OOC: She's going to sound a little like Anko from Naruto, only her voice is more feminine.

IC: "Well, isn't that sweet!" A woman riding a Skarmory called down to Allen and Abby, who both looked startled, blushing and then lightly pushing eachother away. "Skar!" The Skarmory said, looking down. "Well, would ya look at that, we've got company! It's about time!" The woman said, motioning for the Skarmory to land, which she did.

"Hey Mark." The woman said simply and then she noticed the others. "Oh, how stupid of me! I forgot to introduce myself, My name's Luna Delano, but you just call me Luna, or Lulu," She said "and Mark, when I'm not here, please, DO NOT call me 'she,' That annoys me..."

"You're qui-" He was cut off by Luna speaking, "Or you can just call her Looney..." He snickered after she had introduced herself.

"I heard that!" Luna exclaimed, whacking Mark in the head.

Cloud smiled. Klash sorta waved. Smirking at Marks comment.
"So. Your the leader of..?" Cloud asked. Dratini perking up.

"God, Luna, do you have to hit so hard?!" He said, rubbing his head. "Anyway, she's my 'boss,' as in This Cipher's Leader."

Abby and Allen had just walked to where the others were. "What do you mean 'This Cipher's?' Aren't you the only Team Cipher?" Abby asked and Luna shook her head, ignoring Mark. "In terms of Names, yes, but there is another team who wants to take over as Cipher, but to rule the world, just as the First Team Cipher did. They call themselves 'Team Shadow,' and they want to help Lucario..." She said sadly.

"Speaking of Lucario, Luna, did you find out anything?" He asked.

Cloud looked at them weird. Then turning back to Luna.

Luna let out a sigh, "Unfortunately, no, but..." Her words trailed off. "There is something weird going on in the Orre Region. Trainer's Pokemon are disappearing without a trace." She said.

"Not exactly," She said, "I spoke with a few of the Trainers and they said their Pokemon disappeared, along with the Pokeballs, but it only happened at night." She looked at Road. "And no offense, but I really hope you're wrong."

"...You are aware that the Shadow Pokemon Software was deleted by Micheal three years ago?" She asked.
