Log:

[It's been a couple hours since the fiasco at the Goldenrod Pokemon Center. As the pair continue to fly on top of Dist's enormous Golurk, the flat lands of Route 34 turn into a sea of trees. They've finally made it to Ilex Forest, but the hardest part of their mission is only about to begin.

Sure, it's great that they did manage to steal the revival machine, but in their haste they had to basically rip it out of the wall instead of removing it properly. There's no telling how much damage the machine took and they won't find out until they land. The uncertainty is gnawing away at Dist pretty badly. This is his first big mission in about a year, and he's already fudged it up. He's just praying they can fix this thing before bringing it back to the base.

As they make it further into the forest, Dist, who has been silent for the majority of the flight mostly out of anger and frustration, finally speaks up.]

We should be able to land any minute now.

[He's giving Crocker a stern glance from Kaiser Dist G's other shoulder. He doesn't have much faith the other man at the moment, so Crocker's going to have to really prove himself to Dist when they get to work.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Let's just say they don't take failure lightly.

[Dist says that with a serious tone, though only because he wants to freak Crocker out more than anything. He figures the executives won't do anything too bad except scold them, though he has heard stories of them getting pretty ruthless. In the end though, he just wants to look good for the execs and get a promotion so he's not going to slack during this crucial moment.

He stares in Crocker's direction when he asks about wild Pokemon.]

What, you haven't battled any before? They're everywhere, even within Goldenrod itself. They will most likely attempt to attack us, but as I said, my Pokemon have a much higher level than the ones in Ilex Forest. They won't be a threat at all.

[Denzel pulls his shirt collar with one of his fingers, gulps and pulls his face in a very discerning fashion. With the question his mood changes to a curious look.]

Well, yes in the base. [Than a lightbulb goes on.] And that swarm of live rocks that was becoming impossible to outrun... [Referring to the Kabutos] I suppose those where wild Pokemon...

[Denzel pulls his mouth stern fashion before a beat and the man body twitches.] THANK YOU!

[Crocker didn't like saying but that was the bottom line here. There's a pause.]

What about Geraldine?

[Denzel looks down at Growlithe who growls softly and her fur looks ruffled and burned from the Pokemon Center escape.]

[Wow, Dist wasn't expecting such gratitude, but he'll take what he can get.

He also glances over to the Growlithe.]

That depends. What level is she? The average level of wild Pokemon in Ilex Forest is twelve to twenty.

[Denzel pauses for a moment to recall.] Level ten...

[Crocker noses around the forest with his eyes, very slowly. Almost like he senses something that isn't there and he couldn't help but there was a force of something. A magical force. Like those fairies from home...]

Is it known for fairies to occupy these woods?

[Celebi is causing all of Crocker's intrusiveness to go off, not that they'll never see Celebi.]

Then allow me to handle any Pokemon stupid enough to challenge us.

[It's not often that Dist gets to make himself sound cooler than he is, so he put his best stoic voice into that line.

It's around now that Dist decides to have Kaiser Dist G land. It's a densely wooded area so they have to brace themselves as they land through the trees. When they land, Dist answers the question about fairies.]

It is said that a Pokemon named Celebi inhabits the woods, near a shrine on the Goldenrod side of the forest. It is a type of fairy, yes. But I wouldn't go expecting it to be one of those fairies that you are strangely obsessed with.

[Denzel curls his lip in a snarl he really disliked being defenselessly when he should be having power with his Pokemon. with on the other hand he was defenseless which his face quickly changes to paranoia.]

That would be a good idea. [His tone having a bit of a whimper in it. Crocker exclaims a 'Gah' as they land from the suddenness.]

Ah ha! I knew something was here. [Even if Celebi isn't the kind of fairy that Crocker does go after usually, his compulsion just for the fact that it is a fairy makes him twitch and mumble to himself.] And if this Celebi is a Pokemon, it must be just as powerful as the rest of these. [Before giving a mmm vocal noise in an evil kind of way. Power after all was always tempting to the man.]

That's besides the point it's a different kind of - FAIRY! [Jerking his body in a strange fashion falls to the ground at least he lands on grass. Growlithe and Ekans look over wondering if there master is alright.]

I'm alright. Ow.

[Dist isn't sure he can roll his eyes any harder than he is now after watching Crocker convulse himself off of the giant robot Pokemon. He glances down to the man on the ground and calls down.]

You really ought to get that checked, you know. [...] Actually, don't. Perhaps one day you'll hit your head hard enough to forget about your idiotic fairy obsession.

[He then commands his Golurk to give him a lift to the ground with its massive hand. Much less painful than falling off, that's for sure. Once on the ground, he recalls Kaiser Dist G and sends out a smaller Pokemon to keep guard, though this Pokemon is still taller than both of the men. It's a huge insect-like Pokemon with a red metallic exoskeleton and huge pincers that almost look like heads. Dist smiles at the Pokemon.]

Gale, be a good girl and keep watch, will you?

[Gale nods and zips off, gliding on the ground using her wings for speed.

With that said and done, he turns to face Crocker, his frown returning just from having to look at the man.]

I wouldn't get your hopes up about Celebi. It hasn't been seen by humans in years. Instead, we must focus on saving this machine.

[As Denzel rubs his head, pauses to stare at first, rather dumbfounded for a moment. Does he actually care? Oh, guess not. Growlithe licks her master’s hand and Ekans curls around Crocker. Denzel than shoots Dist a glare as Crocker does his glasses give off a gleam. If only Dist or even Crocker knew that the man's fairy obsession has ties with space and time and can never be broken as long as Timmy Turner exists in Crocker's world.]

IT IS NOT IDITOTIC AND I WILL NEVER GIVE IT UP - EVER!

[Considering that Crocker was ten his obession first started and now he's forty - five. Denzel, Ekans and Growlithe watch Golurk glide off. That is very impressive.]

Oh? Why hasn't Celebi been seen by humans in years?

Yes, yes. The machine. [It wasn't that Crocker is against building machines quite the opposite it was just Dist and working with one of those scientists.]
