Pokémon Center, with Pianis

-Silent shakes his head-

"Sorry, I pretty much just got here. But I have the impression most of the people of the team are in the general area of this city."

Copahue♂ -to Lapras: <It's not so good when all people want you for is moving people from places to places.> <_<

Harriet♀: <...Copahue, you know it's not like that.> -- looks at him worriedly.

Shahinne♀: <Oooh you have a job?> -- flies circles around Lapras's head -- <That's good! I work as a [Notification Shahinne] sometimes and I get nuts!> ^.^

Copahue♂ -to Lapras: <Uhm... well, okay you're kinda made for that, I guess...> -- shrugs -- <no offense.>

Slateport, yesterday

-Amidst Dintel and Python's wandering, they may come across a Camerupt who seems to be sniffling some and a PEFEgon who are also wandering-

Pokémon Center

Lapras♀: <I flew.>

Pianis: Ahem!

Lapras♀: <What? I thought these were the guys who were in on this thing.>

Slateport, last night

-The Camerupt is bumped into-

-She nearly sneezes, but manages to hold it in-

Volcamel the Camerupt♀: <Uh> -sniffs- <Hey.>

-she looks at the bags-

<They> -sniffs- <look nice.>

-The Porygon, however, studies the Ekans and Sandshrew-

Memory the Porygon: <Greetings, Ekans and Sandshrew.>

Hm... PEFE data suggests likely identities, especially due to Ekans not being native to Hoenn...

Will await more data before attempting to confirm.

With Pianis

"See? That makes a lot of sense." -- winks.

Harriet♀: <Go figure...>

"Now, Shahinne, why don't you go outside and wait for the others while I go fetch that trauma room for Pianis and us to have a [talk]?"

Shahinne♀: <Okay!>

-Shahinne focuses for a moment, bats her wings and...-

Notification Shahinne #4208: <Hey!> ^.^ -- coos.

Harriet♀: <Clever girl.> -- pats the real Shahinne.

Shahinne♀: <I do a lot of work around here~>

-The [Notification Shahinne] waves a wing and goes to the door to wait for it to be opened, since she can't directly interact with the automatic door sensors-

-Silent waves to Pianis and goes fetch the trauma room, leaving the birdfamily with Pianis and the team-

With Maggie's mons, last nite

-Dintel proudly shows off the bags, but keeps them very close-

Dintel♂: <Thanks, it's the best food we could get.>

-Of course, that was done with Silent's money.-

-to Memory-

Dintel♂: <Ohai there> -- \o o o/ -- <Are you from the office like the others? We were just there!>

Python♂: <self::warm; ~> -- slithers around trying to find some shadow besides the Camerupt.

Slateport Pokécenter

-a man wearing a Solrock mask brushes past Silent, popping a tracking beacon onto his back-

-granted, Silent is probably rather more paranoid and security-aware than the masked man may have counted on...-

With Pianis's mons

Copahue♂: <Yes. Nice trick it is. Just don't let her do it often.>

Harriet♀: <She has done a looot of work with Double Team. Wish she applied herself as much with her other moves.> ¬¬

Shahinne♀: <I don't like to get my feathers dirty~> -- flies circles around Lapras's head, asking if she can perch there.

Slateport Pokécenter

-Silent doesn't notice the tracker at first, however while he is preparing the trauma room for the conversation he does boot up his Linoone lappy-

-Silent checks the laptop's messages and thinks for a moment, then quickly scans the area , finding nothing-

"Wow that's alot of messages. Good thing I didn't let systemd to handle this thing... Okay then, has to be much closer..."

-Starts checking his bag and clothes, taking him about three minutes to find the tracker in his clothes-

"Nice tech. Let's see what we can get from this."

-Produces a small antistatic wrap from his bag and places the tracker inside, then types some instructions into the laptop-

vs@salipolis: service enable tuntap && service enable cone-of-silence
[pefegon@salipolis] - tuntap request accepted
* initializing short-range jammers...
* [DONE]

-After that's done, he peeks through the door-

"Pianis? And your mons? Can you come in for a moment?"

Outside the Pokécenter

-Python nods to the Camerupt, taking notice of the sneezing for a moment and then slithering around the Pokémon until he finds himself comfortable under the shadowed side-

Dintel♂ -titls head: <...Wilderness survival?>

Python♂: <Wild! Maggie!> -- rattles contently.

-to the Camerupt-

Dintel♂: <Head of...? No,> -- waves a paw -- <I'm of the head of Silent. We do things with him a lot~>

-he puts one of the bags down on the ground for a moment then turns to the Camerupt, while Python lets himself yawn and rattles again to call for attention-

Python♂: <Maggie is nice. How is she?>

Inside the Pokécenter

-Silent welcomes Pianis and the group of six mons into the trauma room and locks the door, points Pianis to a chair then waits for a moment-

"So, since Lapras totally fly and since I've gotten pretty interesting messages from the group... what's going on?"

Slateport Pokémon Center, trauma room

-Silent and the three birdmons watch as the Lapras reveals herself to be a Latii-

"Nice to meet you too, Siren. I'm Silent. I now officially introduce you to Copahue, Harriet and Shahinne."

Copahue♂: <...Now THAT's a nice trick...> o.o

Harriet♀: <Oh!> -- preens feathers hurriedly -- <Sorry, we didn't know.>

-to the Latias-

"Like Pianis says, I got a message some time ago, just like the others. However I have been busy with my own affairs up until recently, so I just got here." -- shrugs -- "Even if it were that I could not provide much assistance at this time the others can tell you your kin can trust me, though."

Harriet♀ -nods: <We've [worked] with other Legendaries before. We'd be honored to be of service.>

Copahue♂: <Yeah, speaking of which...> -- looks at Pianis and Silent -- <What would we be required to do? Shahinne won't be in danger, right?>

Shahinne♀: <Silly dad~> ^.^ -- trines contently as she hops around Siren.

"Well, I do work for PEFE. If it is information or Pokémon assistance that is needed..." - nods to Siren- "just say the word."

Trauma Room

-Silent does walk around the Latias for a moment, thinking, and after a moment he comes to stand right before Siren-

"It is a good choice of disguise. It's a Pokémon of appreciable size and constrained movement when out of water, yet of renowned grace and sense of space, which will prompt strangers to respect your space and not try to enforce [interacting] with you. Meaning that more of the weight of keeping the disguise will actually fall on you, Pianis." -- turns to the human -- "You might want to sometimes equip your 'Lapras' with an item, an ornament or a bag that makes her appear busier than she is, so that people are left more content to look from afar."

Copahue♂ -sheepishly: <You might want to be careful with mons detecting you, too. Shahinne has more or less good senses, but there's a lot better. Like her father.>

Slateport Pokémon Center, trauma room

Pianis: Yeah, I picked Lapras for the disguise since she's a transport, and the last time I tried keeping a non-Ice type mon with my team he was stolen from me. As for items, what would you suggest?

Siren: <Something cool?>

Pianis: I gave her the TMs for Surf and Ice Beam too. And actually, Lapras can learn Psychic and Dragon Pulse.

Siren: <Yeah, those were neat.>

Pianis: Can't learn Hail or Blizzard though... no clue why.
