Thread: Pokémon XD: Darkness Ridge

OOC: The starting area for Pokémon Trainers (and Snagems) is Pokémon Lab's Purify Chamber room. Where ever the Ciphers are is up to the Grand Master, except for the Lab.

XD was on the holographic portal that opens the Purify Chamber. "I'm glad you're all here. The Shadow Resistance has had the biggest flaw in the world: we forgot to destroy the Shadow Pokémon maker. Hear they're making an invincible. Snuck in, and found out it was a... ohmygosh, it was a...Ho-oh. I turned off the machine that was making it off before all the battle immunity loaded on. Pikachu warded them off, though. We need to stop them, and we get the power to snag 'em. Some of you are former Snagem members, so I expect you to fully understand it. So, let's get started!" XD said.

OOC: Ho-oh was in contrast to Lugia from XD: Gale of Darkness. So don't complain. If you do, Bulby will whack you with a bat.

Ron Jon stood inside the Purify Chamber, next to a few scientists. He was inquiring them on how the whole system worked, and looked over at the guy talking. "hey."

OOC:Me and grey are at the HQ

IC: "Go larviatr," Lan said. Larviatr appeared, but now he was a shadow form. "Can you believe e are here," Lan asked. Lan still had some of his childish ways.

OOC: Lan, please tell me the HQ isn't the HQ the Resistance is at.

OOC:Its not. its the cipher hq.

Lan decided he would call his newest cipher, grey.Lan sent an email stating

Meet at my office

Lan sent that and walked back to his desk.

Grey walked into Lan's office. "I may want to remind you that I am higher ranked than you. So you better have a good reason for calling me."

"I'm higher in command than you," Lan said. "Anyway, we need to get back to buisness. Thos snagem members are purifying pokemon again, so we need to make them shadow. Although i have a feeling that our shadow pokemon could beat theirs," Lan said. He pointed at larvitar, who was sitting on the floor.

"Of course we could! But maybe we should try Quality over Quantity this time." Grey said pulling out his PokeGear. "By my calculations, if we can train each Cipher Grunt to master their own Pokemon, instead of giving them all Shadow Pokemon, Their Skill will increase and we will be able to save the Shadow Pokemon for our Higher Ups." He turned around and began to leave. At the Door he said, without turning. "Bye the way. Since I'm related to our Grand Master, it would do you good to treat me with proper respect." And sent out a huge wave of Malevolent Aura as he left.

OOC: Inside the Cipher HQ, in Lan's vents
IC: Logan lay flat in the vents, listening closely to the admins talking. Perfect! This was finally his chance to show them that he was above the riff-raff. He was sick of being grouped with the failures of the organization and with a "quality over quantity" method he was sure to come out on top. Once Grey left the room, Logan pushed himself back through the vent, returning a bathroom stall. He quickly pushed the door open, and headed towards the training area.

"I'll send a list of currently made Shadow Pokémon. It has a special Shadow Tracker wireless feature that updates every time a Shadow Pokémon is made," XD explained. He flipped open his PokéGear, cycled to the Shadow List app, and choose the Send button. "I'll send you the Purify Process app, too. It will show you when your Pokémon is done being Purified."
He went to the Shadow List and opened it up. He cycled to XD002. When he opened up the profile, instead of being normal Ho-oh colors, it was dark purple where it was red, its crest was violet, it's stomach was lite purple, and where it was normally green was black. Its eyes were red. "This is our enemy, XD002, aka Shadow Ho-oh."
OOC: Here's the flavor description for XD002 according to my guy's Database, and in the Shadow List:
A corrupted HO-OH.
Its heart is so locked up,
it became the second XD00
POKéMON, after SHADOW LUGIA.

Zaar stood to the side, unseen by tbe others, and spoke into his headset...
"This is Zaar speaking. These fools have appeared to have made an app that finds Shadow Pokemon...but I'm about to put a...glitch in the system," he said with a chuckle, and he waved his Snag Machine, and a worm was put into the system. The worm stopped all updates, and worst of all, slowly but surely morphed the bearer's Pokemon into Shadow Pokemon, loyal only to Cipher...
"Mission Accomplished."
He turned his back on the doomed trainers, grew greusome bat wings out of his shoulders, and took flight to the Cipher Base...

OOC: I said he was a master of the dark arts, didn't I?

OOC: It lists Shadow Pokémon and thier process in Purification, not finds them.

XD looked through the list. He found out that more Shadow Pokémon were being made. He also found out that 3 others-Dialga, Palkia, and both kinds of Giratinas, although he did not find how this was humanly possible-were being attempted to be made into XD003, 004, and 005. Now was XD's Shadow List's special power. He pressed a button that said VC. He punched a quick code and whispered,"Deactivate Shadow Device. Code 0-XD-30-0." The serious de-purifying stages of a XD Pokémon weren't applyed yet. Phew.

"30 seconds remaining until Shadow Device is back on." the PokéGear reported.

"Let's go to the Cipher Lab," XD said, hoping to get there before Cipher got it up again.

OOC: Cipher, if you ever get XD's Snag Machine, do NOT immeditly repeat this code. The code to unlock Voice Command is Yellow-Red-Blue. No one else repeat that code for some strange and awkward reason.

Zaar landed at the old Cipher Lab, waiting for the perfect ambush, the ambush that will demonstrate the power of XD006...

OOC: Another Forme is 005, Origin is 006.

Logan laughed as he watched Zaar land in front of the old lab.
"For an evil master you sure are slow. You think you could use your hoodoo powers and get here on time."

"SILENCE, YOU FOOL!"screamed Zaar, and he levitated him in the air...
"Do you want me to gut you like a fish here and now?!" he said, his voice lowered to a growl.
