The GATEON Team

(No clue who's turn it is at the moment. In case it's mine, please skip...)

The Golett seemed to tilt its head at the introduction for a moment, before shifting its weight and taking off once again. Seemed either it wasn't interested, something spooked it, or it saw something that it felt needed to be checked out. To be honest, Viator left because it was beginning to feel that horrible twinge again; the feeling of boredom, the same inert feeling he had at Dragonspiral Tower, and that just wasn't going to fly with Viator.

As the small Golett began running back through the town, it came to a skidding halt at a street by a building, where he noticed a Pikachu and a Zigzagoon speaking to each other. To him, it was just another interesting group! At first, he began to approach, but something stopped him. At the nearby treeline, there was a sort of snarling noise, one that was not exactly natural. Viator spun on a foot and stood at the ready, fists up and feet planted. What could it be? An angry pokemon? An undead?

Goonzagzig

Goon flicked his ears to and fro in distress, his belt bristling like a living mass of browns and tans along his back. Agitation and anxiety were clear in his dark eyes, the all too wide of pupils giving the illusion of not moving as the raccoon twitched. His sharp, penetrating gaze was stuck firmly on his book. His book. The dark maroon hardback cover was smoldering in the sunlight of the rising sun. It was not anywhere near dawn anymore, but it was still early and the light was only decreasing the value of the already tattered text book. the cover was fading more and more with each passing second. Each minute.

The thoughts were beginning to drive the little guy mad. He could not stop picturing the book, all of the beautifully printed dark words on the inside simply fading to nothing on the inner covers. he gave a distressed yelp, his heart poiunding deep within his chest. Goonzagzig then froze, shooting a glance at the group still gathered by the water. What if they heard him?! The Zigzagoon had to be more careful... And speaking of careful.

Suddenly there was a splash of yellow in the distance. Goon sucked in his breath with horror, snapping around n the small space to regaurd the newest threat with ever wide eyes. It was a Pikachu. The electric mouse was running for it's life, stealing glances over it's shoulder multiple times as it sprinted across the concrete. Horror began to rise in the normal type as he used his eyes to trace right where the Pikachu would run. Right into his book. His book. Goonzagzig could only watch as the clumsy oak tripped over it's own feet... as well as his book. A very high whine of distress rose from the normal type. He could only watch as the Pikachu snatched up his book and kept fleeing.

And where else did this stranger go? Why, nowhere else except straight for where he was.

Goon would have cursed the heavens had he been brave enough to make a noise other than a squeak. But before he knew it, the yellow mouse was sprinting in his direction, with quite a respectable speed considering the fall it had just undergone. But he could not do anything as it came closer and closer. Goonzagzig's heart was pounding in his ears, drowning out all other sounds, as the creature came closer, and closer. With his book. His book. And then there was impact. Goon felt the pain explode in the front of his skull with a sharp yip of pain, sure tha the corner of his book had rammed right into his head. He gave a soft whine, backing more into the shadows as the Pikachu recovered quicker.

Her ears flatten against her head in concern as she looks over the shaded Zigzagoon, making sure that she really did not injure him. She stutters again, trying to give her reason for the intrusion. The breaths begin to shallow, as she tries to conserve enough air for talking. The conflicted feelings were clear on the newcomer's face as she stared the normal type down, his own eyes too wide with many fears as there was a tense moment. When she spoke, he was not expecting the soft, light one of a female hidden underneath the anxiety. “O-oh no....I didn’t hurt you, did I? A-are....are you okay?” She asked, holding his book so close to her that it felt almost physically painful for the Zigzagoon to watch. His book in the posession of some stranger. it would be enough to make him snap were he not so docile. Goon did nt reply, his eyes only stared, wide and fearful, but never leaving his book. The beautiful maroon cover... He almost just wished that it were out in the sun again.

“I....I was being chased...by a-an Undead. I-I managed to out-trun him.” The Pikachu spoke again. She backed up against the wall, slouching slightly as she sllowed her body to be upheald by the wall. Goon swallowd, his claws clicking against the ground in sharp, aggitated sounds. After a few seconds, he could not take it anymore. Oh, how he wished Chaze would come back, but the Combusken was nowhere near. Goon was on his own. Finally... "M-my book!" Goon exclaimed, his voice nearly shrill.



Yep. That shit was boring. The Combusken gave another exaggerated sigh to the heat of the world. He didn't even know where the hell they were, Goon and him. It could be the desert of Hoenn, but they would not have walked for days and days without seeing anyone. Not to mention the weird buildings they did run into were completly alein to him. "Just... so... BORED!"

The avian could not even stay on one train of thought for too long. The heat was getting to him. Chaze's bright, firey eyes narrowed to slits. They would need nourishment soon. He was a main fire type Pokemon and even he was feeling the effects of dehydration. His claws clentched, tensing up as he thought about the situation. Little Goon was not that strong. He would die long before Chaze would. A vision of them both evlving flashed behind the Hoenn starter's eyes but he pushed it away with an irritated roll of his eyes. That Zigzagoon would not fight and level up even if he KNEW it was to save his life. "Uggghhh!" Chaze groaned in irritation.

The fowl was so distracted by his aggrivating thoughts, he failed to notice how much the scenery had changed. it went rapidly from rocks and dust to leafy greens and then concrete. A satisfied smirk pulled at the corner of his beak. He was almost to that nutty little Goonzagzig. However, before he could even get used to the sunlight as he stepped out into the harsh sun, there was someone before him. It looked like a cyborig robot thing. The chicken's eyebrows shot right up, especially at the stance the thing took. Was it trying to threaten him? HIM? That brought a throaty laugh from the Combusken and he turned a cocky grin to the weird thing. "Ha! Chill your guns, bro. You're not even worth my time." Chaze moved to step around the robot thing, completely unafraid of it.

I shook my head as I got up from my spot on the beach and walked back into the city. I had heard noise but really didn't want to go look, so I went to the store area instead. I had found many things here before, but it looked as if someone had picked it clean. My eye twitched as I sighed and layed in the doorway. It was a strange place to lay, but it gave me a great view of the area and it seemed I was right about the voices, because multiple unknown pokemon, besides the Golett, Dave and Alex, the area was alot more packed then I thought. I shook my head and let a sorta moo-ish sound as I watched the new pokemon, but I stayed put. As not to scare the dears.

"I hate to break this to you, but 'Jakob' is dead. All you're doing right now is literally carrying dead weight."

Alex's ear twitch, his stomach suddenly came into tense pain. "DEAD?! NO." His thoughts came to his mouth, and he jumped forward towards the Ampharos, scratching him in the face. Jumping back to his spot, he grumped, before noticing that Taro had gone away. Where'd she go to? Getting up, the Furret looked towards the distance to see Taro walking up to the city, and quickly followed behind her.

"Taro! Where are you going?" Alex yelled.


([ooc: Short crappy post cause I'm braindead lol.])

Alex overreacted to Dave's comment about Jakob. There was no need for him to flip and scrath Dave in the face like that. The Ampharos felt his face for a moment, and saw that Alex actually drew a bit of blood. As everyone began leaving, he sat back down on the beach, next to his little doodle of Kelly in the sand. He was worried about her. Was she safe and sound? Or did the undead already get her?

Dave couldn't go and find out because he was no longer in Sinnoh. He watched the waves roll in, washing out the doodle of Kelly. This act of god saddened the Ampharos. A single tear fell from his silent face. Then a few more came out. And before he even knew it, Dave put his paws to his face and cried silently. Oh how he wished to be with Kelly...

(OoC: So braindead right now...)

Viator watched the Combusken speak and slowly walk away, shifting uncomfortably. Who was this? He obviously didn't know something was coming, and come it did. The hulking and decaying Machoke came out of the shrubbery, acting as if it were looking for something. But, its eyes focused on the Combusken before it, deciding to take that. Fresh meat was fresh meat.

The Golett spotted the undead and reacted. His right fist glowed a deep blue before he ran forward. "Get down!" He shouted and shoved the Combusken aside before leaping forward and slamming his fist downward onto the undead's snout with a Mega Punch, forcing it down. The Golett paused before backing up, preparing for the Machoke to get up if it survived.

[OoC: Permission to push Chaze was given by Ciana.]

"Get down!"

Alex looked around and stopped following Taro, he closed in on the area where the voice came from, and saw a Golett fighting a large Machoke who pounded his fists on the ground like a complete idiot, then again, it was an undead. Running towards the Golett, he sniffed the air, dropping the Pichu on the ground. Yet, before he could do that, he looked down at his paw. Blood. Fresh, too. It was just a tiny bit, though. Where did it come from?

Looking over to his right, he see's Dave, who was crying next to his doodle of Kelly. Why was he cryin- Oh... The Furre tthought sadly. Because I-I... I hurt him! Leaving the Pichu behind, for the first time in his life, he ran over to Dave on all fours and touched his shoulder, "I-I'm sorry... I didn't mean to o-overreact... It just... Just happened." He turned away. His life of solitude and being alone could have been over, and maybe he had just ruined that one, slight chance.

Dave felt a tap on his shoulder. He looked over to see Alex. He left the Furret behind to comfort the Ampharos. "I-I'm sorry... I didn't mean to o-overreact... It just... Just happened." Dave watched as he turned away. He wiped his tears away and felt his cheek. There was still a bit of blood dripping. He placed a paw on Alex shoulder and smiled, "Thank you, Alex."

His attention was soon drawn to the Golett fighting an undead Machoke. He looked back to the Furret and said, "Let's go. He needs help." Dave rushed right over to the Machoke and delivered a swift Thunderpunch to the fighting type. Dave also got lucky with that attack. It paralyzed the Machoke. He turned back to the Golett and asked, "Need help?"

Viator watched as the Pikachu left with a Haunter, the Combusken and a Zigzagoon running off. The Machoke however, was still focusing now on the Golett. He took a stance once more, the energy flaring up in his body and around his arms. He was taken by surprise when the Ampharos from earlier; Dave was it? Dave slammed the Machoke with a Thunderpunch and paralyzed it. "Need help?" The Ampharos asked.

The dual type stopped for a moment before running up and pelting the stunned undead with a series of punches, knocking it down before delivering a crushing Mega Punch to the Machoke's head, crushing the decayed skull. The Golett turned and to the duo. "I had him. But thanks for the help!"

Dave tapped his shoulder like Alex did to him, and said, "Thank you, Alex." Alex smiled, but before the Furret could have words exit his mouth, Dave quickly turned towards the Golett and ran over. He had said something, but Alex didn't quite catch it. Running over to help them, Dave delivered a thunderpunch paralyzing the Machoke. The Golett megapunches it's head, making it implode into a bloody mess on the ground. Alex didn't get to help at all. No fun.

"I had him. But thanks for the help!" Alex nods at the Golett, he looks at Dave and then to himself. Smiling, the long body pokemon laughs silently and says, "Sooo... What's your name?" Maybe he hadn't ruined his chance after all.

Dave watched as the Golett finished off the Machoke, delivering a Mega Punch to its head. Blood went flying, some hitting Dave, who jumped back slightly in disgust. He noticed that Alex was there with him as well. "I had him. But thanks for the help!" it said. Dave nodded as well.

"Sooo... What's your name?" Alex asked him. Dave scratched his head for a moment, thinking he heard it earlier. He didn't remember, though. Damn. It didn't matter now, anyway, because the Golett was going to introduce himself before the Ampharos would be able to remember.

The Golett nodded once and gave a nod to the Furret who asked about his name. "Name's Viator. You're...Dave and Alex, right?" Viator gave a nod before giving a casual salute. The energy that emnated from his body seemed to calm as he seemed to smile with his eyes.

There was a moment before he flicked his hand, getting the blood off of his hands, shifting and looking around. He seemed so peaceful, due to his expressionless face, so one would have to rely on body language and his tone of voice.

"Name's Viator. You're...Dave and Alex, right?"

Alex nodded again, "Yes, indeed." He smiles. The furret watched as Viator gives a salute. Alex, who had no idea what this meant, gave on back as best as he could with his short arms. The Golett flicks his hands getting blood off, and Alex turns to Dave and says, "Sorry I didn't get to say anything before, but thanks, for forgiving me..."

He turns back to Viator, and with a smile he shouts, "And that was amazing!" He claps slightly. Yes, I haven't lost my chance yet.

"Name's Viator. You're...Dave and Alex, right?" Dave nodded. The Golett gave a casual salute to the two. Dave tried to do the same, but he was given the gift of short arms. Alex turned to Dave and said, "Sorry I didn't get to say anything before, but thanks, for forgiving me..." Dave smiled and said, "You're welcome."

The Furret then turned back to Viator and shouted "And that was amazing!" Dave nodded, "Yes, that was quite amazing, Viator." Dave scratched his head, confused as to what to do next. "So, uh... now what?" He asked the group.

[OoC: Just skip for now. Say he was standing in deep thought.]

"So, uh... now what?"

"Hm..." Alex mumbled in thought, then he remember something and quickly spoke, "We should go find Taro!" He remember her leaving towards the city, but couldn't exactly remember what direction. The place was big for the three of them, and maybe they had lost her... She didn't seem that interested in them, anyways. He shuffled around in the sand, looking at his hind paws, then falling onto his back by slipping onto the sand.

Quickly getting back up, the Furret looks around again and asks Dave, "Do you remember where she went? ow..." He finished his sentence while rubbing the back of his head. "All I remember is her going towards the city." Sighing, the long body pokemon looks towards the ocean, it was indeed a beautiful sight...

"Hm..." Alex mumbled, "We should go find Taro!" Dave nodded. "Yes, we should find her." The Ampharos said. He readjusted the scarf that Kelly gave him. Alex shuffled around a bit in the sand before unexpectidly falling onto his back. Dave couldn't help but laugh a little bit as Alex got up.

"Do you remember where she went?" Alex asked, "All I remember is her going towards the city." Dave wasn't sure where she went either. "I don't remember where she went either. But I think we should check the city first." Dave began walking into the city to find Taro. She didn't seem that interested in the two, but she's a survivor to the dark world, and that's good enough for them.

(OoC: Why all the short posts in this team lately?)

Viator shifted and looked to the two, standing for a moment before moving toward a blue roofed building. "I'll go find some supplies. You guys will need them!" The Viator gave a slight mechanical chuckle before bounding off to the still intact Poke Mart. He seemed so youthful and innocent, even though he was probably ancient considering when his kind was created.

The Golett slid the now broken automatic doors open, looking around. The shelves were still stocked with so many things that they could use! It did the automaton pokemon good, shifting and prowling forward carefully, looking for food, water, blankets, anything he can find for the others. Warmth, food, and sleep were things he did not need, seeing that he was well...Just a golem. But, he was proud of what he was. "Huh...Gotta find something they'd like...

"I'll go find some supplies. You guys will need them!"

Viator moved towards the PokeMart nearby, Alex looked at him as he went inside, and looked at the Ampharos, and sighed. "Well, might as well start looking." HE falls onto all furs and runs towards the city, stopping at the edge of the port and waiting for Dave, waving him on.

([ooc: Short post is reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallly short, but it'll have to do. I don't have much to work with OTL.])

Viator went into the city to get aupplies for themselves. Meanwhile, Alex ran ahead of Dave towards the city. Luckily, he stopped at the edge and waited for him. The Ampharos caught up to him and took a look at the city. "Well... where should we start?" Dave asked. He hoped Alex had a plan since it was his idea.

Suddenly, Dave saw something in the air coming down towards them. The Ampharos squinted, trying to make out what it was. It appeared to be a Skarmory, but it seemed a bit unhealthy. Worry filled the Ampharos' eyes as he realized it was undead. It was coming in fast, just passing them. It wanted a fight, and Dave was ready for one.

Dave fired a Charge Beam at the undead, which didn't do as much damage as he hoped, so he decided to run into it with a Body Slam attack. Still didn't do too much. The bird wasn't phased by it at all. He then saw it take to the skies. It flew up high and then began to dive bomb right towards Alex. The Ampharos decided to be the hero.

Rushing towards the Furret, Dave shoved Alex out of the way at the last minute screaming "Look out Alex!" As he pushed his friend out of the way, he felt a sharp pain tear into his side. He screamed as he felt the pain and the coldness from the blood coming out. He fell to the ground, the Skarmory looming over him being the last thing he sees before blacking out.

(OoC: Permission was given to push Alex out of the way.)

Viator had picked a few foods off the shelf and was moving to what looked to be a cabinet before looking around. There was so much to see and grab, but the little Golett couldn't possibly carry it all! If only he was a Golurk...Not only would he be able to carry so much stuff, he even would be able to fly...How great it would be to go free through the skies...

His fantasies, however, we broken by a shout he heard through the open door. "Look out Alex!" It was followed by a scream. Was Alex and Dave in trouble? Viator decided to not take any chances as he dropped the stuff and bound out of the Poke mart and charged forward, hoping to reach them in time.

(OOC: I'm changing my posts for Taro alittle)


The Bouffalant shook her giant afro as the yells rang in her ears. She stomped her hooves and bolted toward the noise. As she galloped toward the noise she saw the Golett from before and she snorted as she got closer, Hey, where are Dave and Alex? She said through breaths, but she didn't wait for an answer because she heard more screams, but this time it sounded like Dave.

No! No, I can't lose them like I lost my children. I have to protect! The Bash Buffalo picked up speed as the flock came into view. She could feel her blood start to boil as she watched the Skarmory loom over Dave. She let out a fearsome/devilish moo-ish sound as she readied her Skull Bash. She could feel the strength already flooding into her body as she lowered her head. She continued to pick up speed then she jumped with all her might and used Skull Bash, sending the startled steel bird into the surf.

Taro landed on the ground with a grunt. She spotted Alex being attacked by some undead birds, she looked at Dave and bolted toward Alex with a Head Charge and rammed into the undead. Many were sent flying into the ground or were sent way into the desert. She huffed as the recoil stung alittle. She grabbed Alex by his scruff and blotted back to Dave. She placed the Furret under her own body as she looked Dave over. He was out cold and had a gash in his side, but he would live. Taro stood over the two as a shield and took the random attacks that came from the undead flock. She focused and used Swords Dance to knock the undead away, but she was able to take a LOT more then what the undead were dealing. She was after all a tank.

(Had permission to pick up Alex)
