Operation: Express Car; [train plot log]

Who: Everyone who wants to participate!
Where: Goldenrod City, the Magnet Train, Saffron City.
When: November 23rd, 11AM-5PM
Summary: Heist on the Magnet Train!
Rating: Might go up to PG-13, possibly R if exceptional violence of swearing occurs.
Log:

They've spent the last few days preparing. He wasn't sure at first, how this was going to turn out, but the Team is confident. They are confident and now he, Archer, is also confident. He has no reason to expect failure; he tells himself, even if they fail, this will cement them back in the public eye. A threat again. It makes his collar hot to think.

He reviews the plans again, Petrel's notes and schematics, engineering details. Phase 2 will be the most delicate, but he's confident in the abilities of the recruits. The aliens, the outsiders, are strange, but useful. They have skills no other Grunt would possess. Archer recognizes he has been given a tool, and only a fool would fail to use it.

At 9:30AM on November 23rd, Archer sends a message through the Rocket Network. It is short, and simple, and jubilant.

Operation: Express Car START


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


It's a nice day out, considering. Cold, yes, but the kind of cold that buries itself deep in the lungs and blows the mind into crisp clarity. Cheeks are red, movements brisk to retain heat, and around Goldenrod's white-dusted Magnet Train station, the energy is thick enough to taste. People in their thick winter coats press together, some alone, some with families and friends, most with their trusted pokémon. The larger creatures are returned to their balls, tragically fated to miss the voyage, while smaller breeds are held in their trainers' arms or scurrying around their ankles.

The station attendants are supervising while customers pass through, touching the microchipped Rail Pass to the card readers and moving in slow, sluggish trails through the gates. There is no shoving; the atmosphere seems too cheery for it, excitement manifesting in the form of loud, vigorous conversation. The train itself is gloriously slick, smooth and polished as a new bullet or a freshly-minted coin, humming with power. We ask our passengers to please mind their electric-types, reminds the stationmaster over the PA, as we seek to avoid any trouble or inconvenience during the ride.

Once you've passed the gate, find a seat and stow away your luggage. Relax, unwind; it's a long six hours ahead.

[ Oh no, not the kids. Not the kids.

Misaki makes a beeline for the girl, her Pokemon tagging along right behind her. She crouches down and rests a hand on the girl's shoulder while Takumi the Wartortle and Suzuna the Pidgeotto assist the Ninetails. ]


Are you alright?

[Nanako tenses a little at first, but once Misaki makes her way over, she all but clings to the older girl.]

I-I'm okay... but I need to find Big Bro and the others! I have to help them too!

[ Thankfully the Koffing and the Weezing haven't done anything dangerous yet. Misaki takes advantage of the down time and scans the rest of the area. ]

What are their names? I might know them.

Big Bro's name is Souji! I think Rise-nee might be here, and Merlin too!

[she sticks close to Misaki, just as the Rocket starts getting impatient and sends out the poison pokemon to attack.]

...Rise! I know her. I haven't seen her but I'll help you lo--

[ Oh boy here we go-- ] Takumi, Suzuna!!

[ Her Wartortle and her Pidgeotto nod in understanding. Takumi attacks with Water Pulse, and Suzuna uses a bunch of Gusts and Twisters, which may or may not be blowing all of the nearby luggage around in circles. ]
