Open Power Plant

Wargle

Dirty minds think alike~
I know this didn't get the amount of members I wanted but I want this to go on. And people are yelling in my general direction.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone Remembers the Power Plant in Kanto. It has appeared in every generation so far. Zapdos can be fought there. Electric pokemon can be fought and caught there. But all we see of it is what the trainer can see going in to battle. But we never see what life is reall liek in these places. This RP will solve that.

Zapdos lives in the Power Plant. But being a Legendary, and being much stronger than everyone else around him, he has taken over the Power Plant. He uses all the Pokémon as slaves. Some accept it and join him, others protect him, and some refuse to accept it. These pokemon refer to themselves as, 'The Organization' They are opposed mainly by Zapdos's Royal Guard.

The Rebelion is trying to overthrow Zapdos as leader, and free the slaves. Will you help?

-----------------------------------------------------
A single Shinx was on trial before Zapdos. He was accused of trying to help the Resistence.

"You are accused of helping the Resistence overthrow Lord Zapdos. How do you plead?" Sounded off the Court Marshall, Magneton. "I...I.. Not Guilty! I love Zapdos! He is my Idol!" yelled the Shinx. He knew the punishment. "Hmmm. I kind of like this Shinx." squaked Zapdos. The Shinx began to look up, "But What proof have you?" "Mah Leige, We have had a Magnemite witness him contacting Resistence members and giving them Intel. And with that, Magnemite floated forward and pointed a screw at Shink. "I saw... This one. contacting Resistence... BZZZP... telling them about...BZZZP... the size of the guards, and our patrols. BZZZAPZAPBBZAP!" The Shinx knew he was caught. he had tried to overthrow Zapdos. "I find you... GUILTY!" squaked the mighty bird. A Luxio stepped forward and fired a Hidden Power ground at the Shinx, knocking him out. He was then escorted out and tossed into river to be carried downstream...If he lived past the Sharpedo

((So now the rebels know the punishment.))
 
Barry watched as the little Shinx was sentenced guilty and given his punishment. It wasn't his fault, exatly; he was tired of the monarchy too. This had to end; Zapdos was too powerful and, well, bossy to say the least. See, Barry was secretly the leader of the Resistance, though was their spy as well. He took a step toward Zapdos. "Now that that is overwith, what do we do now?" he asked in that calm, even tone that was not suspicious at all. "Are there anymore Pokémon to be sentenced?"
 
"Hmmm. Not that I am aware of, but Magnezone might know. Wherever he is. All I want are those pesky Resistence Gone. When I find that leader... I will have his head as trophy!" responded the tyrant.
 
((Wait your signups say nothing about being the leader. I think it would make sense for it to be more of an unorganized militia with no leader.))

"WELL THIS IS JUST GREAT!!!" shouted John when he heard about the little Shinx's fate. "EVERY TIME!" Pausing for a breath, he continued, "IT'S LIKE THEY HAVE A SPY ON US OR SOMETHING!" Huffing with rage, he headed off to the generator room. He loosed a series of electrical attacks at the wall. "ZAPDOS!" he said as he launched the first Thunderbolt. "IS!" He launched another. "GOING!" Another. "TO!" "PAY!" "FOR!" "THIS!!!"

Collapsing with exhaustion, he resigned himself to sleep.
 
((Pwnemon, if you read farther down, I'm the leader of the Resistance, as Brock and I discussed, and I'm the co-DM.))

"Hmm... their head as your trophy? Harsh, aren't you?" Barry asked, his signature half-grin on his face. "Well, I have buisness to take care of." And with that, he left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back at the Resistance Headquarters, Barry found Marigold taking a nap. ((Sorry about the slight godmod, but no one else has posted.)) He woke her up. "Marigold, the Shinx that was helping us... it was caught; it was punished." Barry had a rather unusual solemn look on his face.
 
"...A punishment it deserved." Striker cut in, while approaching Barry from behind. "If there's anything that makes me boil with rage, it's a traitor."
Striker suddenly headbutted a wall in fury, "Who knows what kind of damage that might have done to us? What classified intel he may have given them?"
He took a few slow breaths, and started to calm down.
"I don't know who to trust any more," he said, then tentatively looked to Barry "But I know I can trust you, and I can trust the great one..."

((Reread the above post and realized it took place at the Resistance Headquarters, so let's say this dialogue came in later.))

As the Shinx floated down the river Mark's body faded to a darker shade and he turned and left the room, he hated it when that happened but he knew it was necessary to keep Zapdos in the throne. He slid down the hall and out through the front door. He moved to the edge of the river and looked back at the Power Station, it still shone brightly thanks to the work of its inhabitants.
 
"Hmm... No. They are trying to overthrow me." Zapdos said, not so much to Barry as Himself. No. he thought, He deserved it, he gave away intel. Zapdos announced to whoever was listening to him, "I am going for a Fly. I shall return soon." Asnd with that he ascended to the sky, then shot lightning at a switch on the wall. The roof began to open and Zapdos flapped out and began to fly around Kanto, laughing at the trainers gawking at him wishing they owned him. He began to feel much better.
 
"Are there any more Pokémon to be sentanced?" The one named Barry asked. Hax plugged his foot into the computer.
"Negative. There are no more trials set for today, my lord." The cyber-duck shook his head and completely dissapeared into the computer for a rest.
 
Xizzle floated towards the trial area, a bit quickly. He was invited to join in watching the trial, though he had felt the need to check the security of the area after that little incident with the Shinx.

He saw but an empty trial area, and, by his calculations, he wasn't early, he missed it. Letting out an incontent beep, he floated down the hall towards the stairs, checking power gauges and the like. He went up the stairs to the roof, waiting for Zapdos to return from his usual afternoon Fly.
 
After having several attacks fired in his direction as normal during his Fly, Zapdos decided to return to the Plant. He saw Xizzle, his second-in-command Magnezone hovering near the edge of the roof and Zapdos Landed near him. "GHUYOOAH" he cried upon landing, like he does because he feels like it. "Ahh. Xizzle, my good comrade, come hither. I did not see you this morning's trial. Was there a problem?" Zapdos fired a Charge Beam at a lever and the roof opened back up and Zapdos flew into his nest instead of his work room. Xizzle seemed hesitant to enter his boss's lair, but Zapdos called, "Come in, I don't feel like biting today."
 
Xizzle cautiously entered his leader's room, examining the area. "Yes, my apologies. I decided to run a security check to make sure no unauthorized guards leave the perimeter. I found a tunnel hidden under a trash can, no doubt the Shinx's. Apart from that, I found no breaches in security and saw nothing suspicious." He dropped a bit in floating-heigth, settling in a bit. "I take it the Shinx was prosecuted. Were there any other rebels?" He spat the word "rebels" with distaste, fighting off the urge to add "scum", as a Stormtrooper might do.
 
"Hmm a tunnel. Have someone go through and see where it leads. Maybe we can use it." Replied Zapdos. "Hax did a system search and we could not find any further trials. Unless some one didn't enter it into the computer."

"Xizzle, watch this Magnemite for me. I don't trust him."
 
"Can do," Xizzle replied, turning towards the exit. "I'll have the computer checked, too. I always enjoy the trials... it'd be nice to have another," Xizzle said, chuckling evily.

"Him? I'll keep an eye on him..." He said, leaving the room.
 
"Hmm I enjoy trials but I don't like minor ones that waste my time. Why must the four Electrike always come up and bug about cuting in line for 'Mama Manetric's' milk? Sometimes I actually do small fake trials just to get them to leave me alone." complained Zapdos. "I know most Pokemon living here need me to guide them in their lives but I refuse to have to do every little thing to tell them what to do."
 
Striker peered around the corner. "I hope you don't mind me dropping in" he remarked "But there's something I wanted to talk to you about."
"Morning, Xizz..." he muttered, shooting a contemptuous glance at Xizzle.
"Do you remember a certain elekid that used to work in the underground item trade? I'm sure you do... he vanished about five months ago, and no one knew just where he went." Striker watched Zapdos' face as he recalled that day. "I thought we had seen the last of him... but I was wrong."
The manectric got up, paced around the room for a bit, and turned to Zapdos, with a solemn look on his face "Hax has just shown me some surveillance tapes. He appeared last night." Striker swallowed, and continued "He took something. It's impossible to tell exactly what, from watching these tapes, but it's definitely something we don't want them having... that is, if he is working for them." He now turned to Xizzle "Keep an eye out for him... Lawrence, I think his name was." With that, he turned around, and stormed out of the room.
 
((That's a bit of godmodding but wth I'll go with it))

Hax nodded at the Manectric. "So as you can observe, the offender removed the item, then left. I believe Master Zapdos would be happy to know this information. I will work on the scene." Hax floated off towards the room where the object had gone missing, and set to work looking for clues, leaving Striker on his own.
 
"Electrike... asking for trials concerning nursing?" Xizzle asked, fighting off a mechanical laugh. "I understand that they may be young, but what do they think this is? A playground? They should be weaned, all of 'em." He spat.

He heard someone enter and turned to see Striker. "Hey, Strike. Failed any assignments lately?" He questioned cockily. After hearing all Striker had to say, he spoke. "What have you been doing to screw up the security this goddamn bad?" He semi-yelled. "If that was an element from the generator or something, we'll be screwed." He turned to Zapdos. "Should I run an inventory check?" He asked.
 
((Thank you Zangy. I like your nice avtivity starter. I was about to create one myself but it wasn't this good.))

"Now don't be that mean to the young ones Xizzle. After all, they are our future. Aside from me. They are not my future, but yours."

Striker came in and gave the grim news and Zapdos was angry. "WAT. He is taking items to the resistence! Yes Xizzle, do a massive inventory. I want to know what it is!"
 
Striker stood, talking to Hax, when Xizzle floated past. "You better not screw this up," barked Striker, "You need to find out what that elekid took and get it back."

The manectric focused his gaze on Xizzle. "I ordered three pikachu to guard the generator room tonight," he informed, "No one will be able to break in again."

He walked off, laughing sardonically, "Maybe you would let something like this happen, but it won't happen on my watch..."
