(It's Lake Verity. And if Azelf and Uxie are also involved, then I guess Lakes Valor and Acuity are also places we'll visit.)
Rex stood up, feeling the effects of the potion healing his body. {I sense sadness and confusion in your spirit. What made it so?} He glances to the side, and sees Zero. He also noticed the noise Zero was making. {Is... something wrong?}

I, even though I am part Steel-Type, blocked the flames from hitting either Buneary or Vulpix by jumping in front of them. "What kind of honor is that, attacking two young explorers? If you wish to fight, you may do so against me, outside. no need to hurt the guild or the apprentices." I pull a berry out of my bag, and eat it, feeling the energy healing the new wounds.
"Also, I actually have to thank you for kidnapping her."

I follow HOundoom upstairs, and outside, getting ready to fight. Along the way I notice three oddly-colored Eevee sitting nearby. "Yeah, Houndoom. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have a wife. So thanks, I guess." I turn to face Vulpix and Buneary as I go up. "Don't worry. I'm a seasoned fighter as well as an explorer. Give me five minutes."

{What are you looking at, Liara?} Rex also looked up, but saw nothing. He tried to sense through aura. still nothing. {If you need to go to Lake Verity, I'd be glad to give you a lift.} Rex said as he lowered onto his knees, offering for Liara to climb on his back. {Zack told me to protect you. If going to this lake is important, then I will provide assistance.}
(meanwhile, with me,)
"Ugh, they're too strong... Kiara, psychic, Pandora, Night Shade!" I called out. The Rocket grunts had already taken Ace, Melody and Joshua in pokeballs. How, I didn't know... but that machine on one of thier arms must be the cause. The attacks were launched, the psychic at a Numel, the night shade at its Houndoom partner.

{Verity is in Sinnoh, Right?} Rex asked. Before an answer could be made, he bounded off. He crossed the desert of the Orre region in record time, stopping at the shoreline. {We'll need to find a boat if you wish to travel there. Do you have enough money to buy tickets for one?} He asked, scanning the shore for a town. After spotting one, he ran towards the lights, the world growing darker as nightfall approached.
(With me)
"No... Way... who are you two?" I asked the female figures of Team Rocket. One, with shoulder-length purple hair, replied to me:
"Giovanni wants someone with your gift. What for, we don't know. But you helped the last one escape, so we'll take you instead!" The last thing I saw before I blacked out was the blonde-haired one ordering Kiara to use hypnosis. To my horror, she obeyed.

(OOC: the two grunts who kidnapped me and all my pokemon besides Rex were Oakley and Annie from Movie 5- Pokemon Heroes. they said they worked for Giovanni, so I'm sure that means they are part of Team Rocket.)

(OOC)
I don't believe it "sucks" Sollux, even though I've only been here a short time. Confusing, maybe, but it doesn't suck.

I launch an Aura sphere at Houndoom, knocking him near a wall. before he could hit the wall, however, I used force palm to send him flying through the roof. "Cheap shots are unacceptable for an honorable fight. If you wish to fight dirty, then I will as well!" I said, jumping through the Houndoom-shaped wall in pursuit.

{What portal?} Rex asked. Using aura to sense his surroundings, rather than his eyes, he noticed a small dimentional tear near the forest. {You mean that? Well, alright. but if we end up switching bodies or something from using it, don't blame me.} With Liara still on his back, Rex jumped through the portal.

(Sort of OOC and IC at the same time; breaking the 4th wall, I suppose.)
"Firestar, I'm new to the camp. I'm not even a warrior yet. But can I have permission to rip that cat's fur off? He's ticking me off by saying the thread's bad." I flex my claws, ready.

I land next to leaf after hearing the eevee say those words. "You're right. We're not. but it's obvious Houndoom has some sort of grudge against me, or the guild. He attacked first, and it was a cheap shot, too. He deserved it." I pull two Oran Berries out of my bag, and ate one while tossing the other at Houndoom after he hit the ground.

Rex lowered his body, allowing Liara to climb off. {Lake Verity. How... convenient, I suppose.} Rex stared across the lake. {I bet that cave is where you need to go.} He said, gesturing towards a small island cave in the middle of the lake.

Rex, also walking across water, {How can you do that? Normally, humans can't use the power of aura, save a few exceptions in the distant past.}

(OOC: the name's Rex. I don't go by my species name, it makes a character more unique in my opinion.)
"Buneary, I'm glad I'm okay as well. Now, how about you, Vulpix and I go catch a crook?" I say, gesturing for the two explorers to follow him into town.

"Firestar, I'm Elias. I may be one of the newer cats, but even I have known your kindness when you let me have a home in your clan. Remember who you are, Firestar."

Rex gets down and grabs Liara's arm before she could go fully under. He dragged her to the island, then growled at the gyrados, charging up an aura sphere. {You alright, Liara?}

"Let's go ask around, then. It sounds like a great idea; but first, I need to head over to the Pelipper mail station nearby. I'm expecting something." I walk towards the building topped with a large water-flying type, and I don't notice the master rank badge fall off my bag. Without looking back, I walk into the structure.

Rex looked at where Liara was, then at the red gyrados. "What in Arceus's name just happened..?" Losing concentration, the aura sphere dissapeared. "Where'd she go?"

(for the time being, i'll play Rex in first-person. it's easier on me)
I used protect, and Jumped towards the cave opening. "If she's with Mespirit, then that makes me a guest in the Verity Cave as well. I travel with Liara, and I promised to protect her." As a sort of security, I clapped my hands together and pulled them apart, forming the staff-like Bone Rush my kind uses.

"Don't do that, little ones. Houndoom may still have some bark in him."

Rex wandered up to Liara, badly injured. "That gyrados can pack a mean punch... an odd trainer with green hair provided enough of a distraction for me to get away, though." He kept limping on his left leg, it obviously being seriously hurt.
(At Team Rocket HQ)
I slowly opened my eyes. "Where... Am I?" Glancing around, I noticed machines of all sizes, hooked up to my body in one way or another. my left arm was detatched and was placed on a table, where a scientist was taking the automail apart.
"Fascinating..." He said, Ignoring my comment. He seemed like any other scientist, except for a large blue loop of hair circling his head.
