This was actually my plan the entire time.

[afarewelltoarm]

[He shrugs the question off while still smiling happily.]

Pfft, don't worry about it! I was merely in the area and thought you could use a hand. No need to give me anything in return.

[Eventually, they reach the elevator. When the door opens, Hazama steps inside while Seviper slithers in and holds the door open with his tail so Malinda and Kojii can enter.]

Welp, mission accomplished, dood.

[itsuwari]

[Malinda gets on the elevator without a second thought. Cheren and Bianca are surely worried sick by now about where she is. She can't keep them waiting for any longer.]

[Kojii hesitates by the doors. Looks at Seviper. Then up at Hazama and his little smile. Then at her trainer. Then, and only then, does she get on as well. It's a tight fit for a Mienshao, but she wedges herself between the two human beings.]

Oh. Well, thank you again. I appreciate it. Uhm, so which level is the Pokemon Center on?

[afarewelltoarm]

[Once the Mienshao gets in, Seviper will tuck its tail inside the machine and Hazama will press the button for level "3". The elevator moves in reponse.]

It's on level 3. You were pretty far off, admittedly.

[Welp, that's not a lie. The Pokemon Center is indeed on the third floor. Of course, that's not really why he's taking her there.]

[itsuwari]

I thought as much. Must've walked right past it a couple hours ago and didn't even notice. How silly of me!

[She laughs weakly, but the sound dies. Something feels wrong here. Something feels very wrong. Surely it's just the embarrassment of being rescued by a total stranger, right? Right?]

Uh... what... did you say your name was?

[afarewelltoarm]

Ah...did I not introduce myself? Must've left my manners at home, you'll have to excuse me.

[He takes off his hat and bows before placing it back on his head.]

My name is Captain Hazama. I'm from the NOL Intelligence Division and this is my partner: Asmodeus.

[itsuwari]

Uhm, Malinda from Nuvema Town in Unova. And this is Kojii. [Kojii pipes up with a very quiet little squeak of "Mien!" before going back to staring intently at Seviper.]

NOL... oh, you mean the people in uniforms I've seen around town? Gosh. They must be as big as the Pokemon League if there are so many people working for them. [That's an understatement.]

[afarewelltoarm]

Bigger, in fact. We specialize in various fields, with the main one being a type of...police force, if you would. If the Elite Four, Gym Leaders, or Frontier Brains of a region are having a bit of trouble keeping the peace, or if they're simply on vacation, we step in and lend them a hand. Make sure things don't get too crazy.

[They also do other kinds of...unpleasant things, but it's not like she needs to know that.]

[itsuwari]

Oh, I see! So you're peacekeepers. That's nice. Sometimes it can get pretty dangerous out there for us Trainers, so I'm glad that somebody cares enough to do that kind of stuff.

[Ding! Third floor: Pokemon Center, evildoers, and plot devices!]

Oh! That didn't take as long as I thought. Well, uhm, thank you again for the help, Mr. Hazama. I guess I should head over to the Pokemon Center now...

[afarewelltoarm]

[Yeah, sorry, but he's not leaving that easily.]

Ah...are you sure that's such a good idea? To go alone, I mean. You don't want to get lost again.

[itsuwari]

[Crafty so-and-so.]

Huh? Oh. I... I guess not. Knowing me, I'd probably wind up somewhere else really far away. [She smiles sheepishly and adjusts the brim of her hat.] do you think you could walk with me there just in case? I'd appreciate it a lot.

[afarewelltoarm]

[He's good at what he does.]

Why, it'd be my pleasure. We'd better hurry, though. If I don't get back to base soon I'll be up to my neck in paperwork.

[itsuwari]

[And he's so good at it. ...And at being a massive, massive troll.]

Well shoot, let's hurry, then! You've taken so much time out to help me already; let's make sure more doesn't slip by! [Lead the way, Hazama. Malinda'll follow in your footsteps.]

[afarewelltoarm]

Thankfully I know a shortcut. Just follow me and do try to keep up. Wouldn't wanna lose you.

[And without saying another word, Hazama began to walk down the street, hands in his pockets all casual-like as his slithery friend followed behind.]

[itsuwari]

Wha- hey, wait up! Don't leave me behind!

[It takes a moment, but she scurries after him and Asmodeus. Kojii's close on its trainer's heels. The streets aren't too busy at this time of twilight; even the NOL's soldiers are few and far between.]

[afarewelltoarm]

[Hazama slows down a bit, as does his Seviper, but they still keep a decent pace. Sure, there's not much hustle and bustle going on, but he'd like to get to where he wants to be soon. Glancing over to an alleyway, he makes a turn there. Nothing too suspicious, as you can kind of see the top of Pokemon Center from over the rooftops.

Still. If Malinda happens to be paying attention, there does seem to be something...living on one of said rooftops. Something living and very heavy. Oh, and let's not forget that Honchkrow perched up on a ledge, watching them.]

[itsuwari]

[You can sort of see the Pokemon Center over the rooftops if you squint a little bit. It's a welcoming sight, one that has Malinda letting her guard down a touch. Bianca and Cheren are there waiting for her. It'll be nice to see her friends again. Even if the allyway is kind of hard to see in.]

[Kojii, however, is definitely unnerved now. It stops following Hazama and Malinda. Craning its neck, it looks up at the Honchkrow with a look of utter suspicion. (Flying types. Bleh.) Malinda stops to look at her Pokemon.]

Kojii? Is something wrong?

Mien!

[afarewelltoarm]

[Hazama grins. It's pretty clear that her cute little Mienshao more or less found out his little plan, but she's just as gullible as ever. Might as well mess around a little bit; give his Metagross some time to get into position.]

Hey! What seems to be the hold up?

[His tone is even while he asks this, but he does sound a bit annoyed. All part of the act, naturally. He even stopped moving and turned around to act like he cares.]

[itsuwari]

[Sorry, what? Too busy tending to a Pokemon who's acting really weird, give her a sec.]

I don't know! All of a sudden, Kojii stopped walking. What's- what are you looking at?

[Ever-so-slowly, Malinda tilts her head back to look up at the rooftops. A Honchkrow? Why would one be hanging around here? And they certainly aren't seen in the wild. It has to have a Trainer. A-]

...uhm... Mr. Hazama? Is that... that is to say, is that your Pokemon up there?

And now I'm listening to Endless Despair...

[afarewelltoarm]

[At the question, all he can do is grin. Grin...and open his eyes almost fully for the first time, revealing two golden irises.]

Heh, you got me.

[Once he says that, there's a bit of movement coming from the roof. And then...

*CRASH*

A Metagross jumped down from the roof and slammed down onto the ground hard. After it righted it self, the creature effectively blocked the exit. Meanwhile, Hazama and Asmodeus stood in the way of the Pokemon Center. Guess you could call this an ambush.]

Alright, kid, let's not make this any harder than it has to be. Fork over your team and you're free to go. Refuse...and...well....

[His grin widens.]

Let's just say I wouldn't recommend refusing.

brb, having flashbacks to my last attempt at Noel Arcade.

[itsuwari]

[Gold eyes. He has gold eyes. No one has eyes that color. Who is this man? What is this man?]

Who-?

[And cue Metagross. Its landing kicks up dust and grit, which force Malinda to shield her eyes. But when she finally lowers her arms, the look she shoots Hazama is unbridled contempt.]

You want me to... No. I won't let you take them. They're my friends. They've been with me since the very beginning. They're not yours!

[Even if there's some serious type disadvantage going on here. And a serious case of Being Outnumbered.]

One does not simply beat Arcade Mode...

[afarewelltoarm]

Well that doesn't matter. People take things that aren't theirs to take every single day! That team of yours? I bet they had a family and some friends back home. But you didn't care about any of that nonsense, did you? You just took what you wanted and didn't give two shits about what your so-called "friends" had to say about it. And yet now you think you've got the right to decide for them? Man, how arrogant can you BE?

[Hazama shrugs, that devilish grin never fading as he fiddles with his hat a bit. Go on, give him a reaction. Entertain him. Tell him he's wrong. Hate him. That's what this is all about, after all!

Well. That and taking Pokemon, of course.]

Unless one is playing Jin, of course. Then one spams Ice Cars.

[itsuwari]

[There's no response for a moment or two. She'll just turn one of her Pokeballs over and over in her hand, face turned down to the ground. Kojii cranes its neck to meet its trainer's eye.]

...you're wrong, you know. I don't decide for them. If they want out, I'll happily give it to them. [She raises her head, eyes dark.] And if I don't have the right, then you sure as anything don't have the right, either. I don't care who- or what- you are. You're not taking my friends!

[There's the hate. Not as strong as, say, Ragna's. But it's there nonetheless. Malinda's fingers lock around the Pokeball in her hand so hard that her knuckles turn white.]

How to play Jin in a nutshell: ICE CAR ALL THE THINGS

[afarewelltoarm]

((ooc: Speaking of Ice Cars...))

Well of course they won't leave now. They've gotten used to things! Used to whatever's in those Pokeballs that makes them listen. How else could you tame such scary beasts! Not that any of that matters, mind you. It's clear you won't listen to reason, so I guess I'll just have to beat it into you.

[He reaches for one of the Pokeballs on his belt which one and tosses it.]

Come on out, Ouroboros!

[Out of the Pokeball comes one Serperior, looking at least four feet longer and a couple of inches wider than its supposed to.]

Tell ya what, girl, I'll let you have the first move. I mean, it's only fair. Ladies first, right? Ahahahaha!

ALL THE THINGS and omfg dying of laughter

[itsuwari]

Somehow, I don't think you're being chivalrous out of the goodness of your own heart. But okay. First move? I can work with that. Kojii? It's time for someone else to have the stage. U-turn!

[Cue one Mienshao all up in Serperior's face, followed by it quickly retreating into its Pokeball. Malinda breaks out into a confident smile and tosses a new member of her team into the fray.]

[Giant plant snake? Meet Mirii, aka big-ass plant bug.]

Your move.

Whenever someone asks me to describe BlazBlue I link that video.

[afarewelltoarm]

[Despite the super effective attack, not to mention Mienshao's naturally high attack, Ouroboros doesn't look too bad off. Hell, Hazama didn't even order him to dodge.]

Well, if you insist~ Ouroboros, use Outrage.

[At the order, the Serperior's eyes glow a bright red as its body is engulfed in a purple energy. Its temper spikes and, after but a few seconds of that, it lashed out wildly at Mirii with its tail and gaping maw.]
