Legends of the Elemental Ones

((The excact reason this is taking place on a Sunday in roleplay is so no one is suspicious.))
 
"Oh, got it," said Franklin. "You know, you should work for the government, the way you dodge questions like a pro." He laughed, but then his PokeGear rang and he stopped to pick it up. "Hello?" he asked. "This is Jack. I want you to know that it isn't your business what happens to the elementals, but rest assured they will be treated humanely. Actually, what do you say to a raise? 50 cents an hour?" "That sounds great!" said Franklin. "Thank you. Goodbye," replied Jack. Hanging up his PokeGear, he apologized to the girl. "Sorry, that was my friend," he said. "By the way, I never got your name. Mine's Franklin," he said, holding out his hand.
 
Andrew's attention was briefly drawn to what he assumed was another Elemental sending out all of his pokemon. If that idiot blows our cover... he pushed the thought away. He couldn't make himself look suspicious in front of this other fellow.

He's definitely not one of ours, given how he doesn't seem to have been drawn here by the call. And his comment about joining the Government... no, that can't be right. I'm certain he's not an Elemental, but...

He exchanged a glanced with Lycis. He couldn't say anything to her, since that would give him away, but the look in her eyes was a warning enough.

I can't do anything right now; anything I say could raise suspicions about why we're all really here.

On edge, Lucille gave a fast worried look at Andrew, and then her attention went back to Franklin. Government? Ugh, I'm guessing that's supposed to be a compliment, she mused. "Well thank you," she started, grabbing his hand and shaking it, "My name's Lucille." Oddly enough, she smiled, showing her teeth like she always did. She suddenly didn't feel as threatened anymore. As long as we play this right, he shouldn't suspect a thing... I hope.

And what was that thing with his PokeGear all about? Maybe I'm just overthinking it? I dunno...
 
"Hi, Lucille," said Franklin. "You can call me Frank if you want." Turning to look at the Pokemon by her side, he said, "That's a good looking Vaporeon you have there. Aren't you at all worried about letting it outside of its Pokeball? I'm not doubting you as a trainer, but there are a lot of people who would love to take a Pokemon that nice. Anyway, who's over there? Is he your boyfriend?"

Andrew was a bit taken aback, and took a few involuntary steps backward. Lyncis, on the other hand, began laughing, or whatever the Weavile's equivalent for laughing is.

"Shut it," Andrew muttered. To the one identifying himself as Franklin, he said: "I barely know her. She just happened to be here when I was. That's all."

"That's oddly specific."

"Shut up." Andrew snarled, "You're making us all look bad."
----
"Jack," David said, "did Franklin happen to mention where he was in your conversation? I do believe that I may need to see him myself."

After all, his words weren't the most inspirational...

Before Franklin had pointed it out, Lucille had completely forgotten that Illiamna was out of her PokeBall. Illiamna walked in front of Lucille and wrapped her tail around her legs, as if she were claiming her. But the reason Lucille was so forgetful was probably because of the question Franklin had asked her. And she was as shocked as Andrew was, although, she was slightly amused by it. "No, nothing of the sort, no," she replied.

"And as for Illi, it's nothing to worry about. There's no way I'd let something horrible happen to her." Her smile was still plastered on her face.

"More like the other way around," Illiamna whispered, just barely enough for Lucille to hear. Her words were icy, as she was quite protective over her trainer.
 
Wallace was about walk over and slap the guy who said that to him, but shadow interuppted him. Don't It will arise suspicion. Be more worried about the guy releasing alll his Pokemon and mentioning joining the Government.

grenngh Fine. Wallace telepathed, But if that guy makes one more remark I'll put poison in his food. And not the human kind. He smirked the thought of using his Poison powers against the guy. He decided to sit in the pew behind where a guy and a girl were talking about something boring. Stupid lovebirds he thought. Hrrng whatever. Of all the other humans in humans in the world why must HE be the elemental of Poison?

((Grenngh is my onomontopea of making a deep throated growl when annoyed.

Also I'm behind Mercy and Pwnemon.))
 
The person just gave a smirk.

'That gives me the creeps...'

"You obviously don't know, do you?"

"What?"

"That guy that you were just talking to, he's more than obviously pissed."

Suddenly, Neon released himself from his Pokeball, a talent he had learned.

"What up, Jonas?"

"I just arrived at Hearthome's church- it would seem that some Elementals are here." Jonas replied.

"Just like you?" Neon asked.

"I guess."

"So... I wonder why all the Elementals were called here. Is something going on?"

"I guess we'll find out soon."
 
"Oh, okay. Just friends then? Got it. That's what they all say," he teased, then his phone rang again. "This is Jack again," said the man on the other end of the line. "Oh, hi. Why do you have to call every five seconds? I have a life, you know." "Well, until five o'clock, your life involves working for ME, which means trying to find elementals. Anyway, David wanted me to ask where you are." "Oh, I'm at the church. There's a lot of people here." "Have you found any elementals yet?" "No." "Are you really trying?" "Not really." "Do you realize that if not for your union contract I would have fired you two years ago?" "Every day." "Good." And with a click, Jack hung up the phone. "I think we'll need to get somebody else on the job as well. Why did you give it to Franklin in the first place?"
~~~~
Turning back to Lucille, Franklin apologized. "That was my friend, yet again. Can he not find a better time to call than when I'm talking with a girl? I mean, really." Franklin turned around when someone sat down behind him. "What's your name?"

"Simply because he was there," Goodwin calmly replied, "I really did think he had more conviction than this. It was... foolish of me to think otherwise.

"You are correct, however. We will indeed need others. Others that can get from here to there very quickly..." Goodwin calmly dropped a pokeball from his belt. Once it hit the ground, his Starmie known as CT appeared in a flash of light.

"CT, one of my employees is currently failing to lead an investigation of Elementals at the Church. I would like you to find that employee..." as Goodwin said this, he opened the window overlooking the city, "and remind him that he has an investigation to lead. If you find anything suspicious, signal me."

Without a word, the Starmie shot through the open window, and began to move toward the Church. Closing the door, Goodwin then said: "Now then, we will see exactly what has been keeping Franklin occupied at the Church."
----
"Who is it that keeps calling you?" Andrew asked Franklin, "and more importantly, what is he calling you about?"

"Don't you think you're being a bit paranoid?" Lycis pointed out, "For all we know, this guy could be a random, curious bystander."

Andrew glared at Lycis, as a way to signal the Weavile to stop talking. Lycis opened her mouth to retort, then decided that Andrew was getting more and more on edge, and a continuing pushing of his buttons could cause the boy's powers to start sparking up again.

Lucille put her hand on Illiamna to keep her at ease. "There's something I don't think is right with him," the Vaporeon said, giving her trainer a stern look. Lucille sighed, "You think the same thing for everyone." She liked Franklin, he was nice. Illiamna gave a small growl.

"Well, I think that boy over there is right to be suspicious." Illiamna pointed her nose at Andrew. And, oddly, Lucille couldn't exactly disagree. She was curious as to why he was always talking to his friend. "Yes, I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound rude or anything. But why does your friend keep calling?" she asked, turning her head. She really didn't want to sound suspicious or accusatory of anything, she liked talking to Franklin.
 
In the short span of two seconds, Boom Boom was on the floor, legs flailing wildly as the electricity shot through his muscles. "Way to go, Bouncer."
"Well sorry, but you said we had to practice!"
"Whatever." He looked at his other Pokémon. Disco and Vile were dancing, with Verdian watching, amused. Tropius was behind them chuckling.
"Ok, guys, you've had your fun, come on, into the Pokéballs"
The Pokémon, with the exeption of Verdian, dissapeared. The Leafeon nudged him. "Hey, Verdian. I just thought I'd have someone out who won't try to smash through the walls. Ya know? Well, we might as well just sit here, since we have nothing better to do."
 
Blake sighed and walked out of the alley he had been standing in, "Are you sure its safe, Fantom?" The dusclops by his side nodded. He took another breath and walked towards the entrance to the church. Fantom's eye glowed red,
"There are a number of people in there as well as a few pokemon, none seem dangerous for the time being." Blake breathed in and stepped through the doorway and into the church, he saw several people gathered around some pews. A Vaporeon sat at the foot of a girl about his age.

------------------------------------------------

Zack gazed out his office window, "Where are you?".
He did this everyday, he hoped for a sign that his brother was still alive out there.
after five more minutes of gazing out his window he turned and returned to looking over reports in case one of them contained any information about an elemental.
Nearby his companion, Blade, trained against a dummy.

Ellie felt the sharp pang of... secrecy and lies; the Government was in the church. She picked out the ones she could sense powers from, and telepathed. <There is Government among us! Hide your powers, stay normal.>
 
Jonas got the message. "Guys, don't say anything. The Government... is here." He whispered down to his two Pokemon.

The two Pokemon just winked in return.
 
"Oh, he's just a guy from work," dismissed Franklin casually. He turned as a Starmie came into the church. "Aaaaaaand that would be my boss's Starmie. I'm supposed to be working right now. Sorry, I have to go. I wouldn't want you to get splashed when it Hydro Pumps me in the face." Excusing himself, he got out of the pew and left the church, the Starmie following.

Heading back to the office, Franklin knocked on Goodwin's door. "Okay, what is it that you want?" he asked.

"I sent CT there to remind you that you weren't assigned this job to do idle talking, or whatever it was that you were doing at that Church. Judging by the lack of a signal from CT, you must not have found an Elemental. But tell me... what did you find?"
----
Andrew couldn't resist a smirk as Franklin left the Church, the Starmie at his heels. Then, the words of the man suddenly hit him in the face.

"He just said that was his boss' Starmie," he realized, "and if he is a Government member..."

"That was Goodwin's?" Lycis realized, "The Director was spying on us?"

"I don't think he was spying on us. I just think that it was a signal for him to come back. The fact of the matter is that Goodwin knows, or soon will know that there's a gathering at the Church."

"It's a Sunday-"

"And this is Goodwin," Andrew retorted, "If he gets suspicious, things could get very ugly, very quickly."

Wallace was sitting behind the lovebirds when one spoke to him. "My name is... Wallace." he answered. Then he recieved a telepath from the same person who sent the first one. Hmm. It comes from the girl. telepathed Shadow. She must be an elemental too. Pose a distraction to the government official. Whoever he is. "What's going on? When is the service going to start?" Wallace asked, "You drag us all out to a church, sending us a letter saying you have a grand idea about making us all rich and just sit there?"

((IDK if government is actualyl still in the church so I made wallace think so. Clever lie away. And can other Elementals/Elemental Pokemon hear our Pokémon or us telepath to each other. [[Like, could Andrew hear me telepathing to Shadow? Or just him. everyone?]] Andrew was an example.
 
"Wait," Lycis said, "We might be jumping to conclusions here."

"What's there to not jump to?" Andrew hissed, "That's Goodwin's Starmie. End of-"

"It isn't the end of the matter," Lycis pointed out, "We don't really know the structure of the Government. Even if that is his boss' Starmie, how can we be sure that his boss is Goodwin? That guy could be part of some sub-section, and the Starmie could belong to the head of that sub-section."

"But-"

"And even if that's not true," Lycis cut off, "we can't start spouting off that Goodwin knows we're here, which we don't even know for certain. We don't want any panicking."

"Fine," Andrew conceited. Hearing another person demand to know when the meeting started, he turned to the one at the head of the podium, and said: "That guy does have a point. I think everyone that's going to attend this service is already here, so why not start it already?"
