Brandon listened as Meghan answered "Mine are missing too, just like yours, and Brandon's and Alice's and whomever that person is. This feels like some kind of prison transport. If we were just straight up taken off the street why would be in these clothes?". Brandon was about reply saying he agreed, when Alice turned to the person next to her and asked if he was ok.

The stranger, who for some reason had a sack over his head replied ""It appears that we have all found ourselves in a similar predicament. As it stands it our captors have not harmed us it appears but they have taken the crafty step of removing our strengths. But do not fret fellow travelers fate has placed me here with all of you for a reason. I have foreseen something and when the moment is right I believe I can help get us out of here." The man sounded like he wasn't much older then his mid 20s, but based on his sophisticated vocabulary, Brandon guessed he was well educated.

Brandon was still taking in what the man said when Meghan, clearly upset at the Man's response said ""Don't fret? What are you talking about! If you can get us out of here do it right now! We have two friends who are missing right now Rose and Kyo. We don't know why they've been separated and we can't let them get away with them."

Brandon continued to remain silent and listen as the man countered back "This is the reason we must wait. If we make out move now. Yes, we might be able to get off this transport but that could cause any others in the area to speed off and go in other directions. We risk creating a new pathway that I can not see."

Brandon didn't know exactly what this guy did or did not know, but his educated and calm manner made him want to trust him. The man also had a good point, wherever they are being taken, there is a good chance they will bring Kyo and Rose there as well. As much has Brandon wanted to bust out of the van, find his pokemon and beat up whoever took his pokemon, he knew they had to wait. They would be stronger and have a better chance of escape as a group.

Meghan looked to Brandon, Rocky and Alice for back up.

Brandon, after taking a deep breath said "As much as I hate to say it, the man has a point. Wherever they are taking us, they will likely bring Rose and Kyo there as well. If we try to escape now, we may never see them again. Furthermore, we don't even have our pokemon, so even if we were able to beat up our guards and escape, we wouldn't be able to get far without our pokemon. I say we let them take us wherever they want to take us, once we know where our pokemon are and we can re unite with Rose and Kyo, we can plot our escape. The odds will be much more in our favor now".


Much later....

The van started to slow down and come to halt. It seemed they had arrived at wherever their destination was. After a minute or two, the van doors were opened, and bright light poured into the van, blinding them after being in the dark for so long.

A group of people pulled them off the van and lined them. Then one of the people, who Brandon presumed was a guard, walked by them one by one slowly. As he passed him, Brandon gave him a sneering look. The man stopped when he reached Rocky and asked another guard if he was 'the one'. The other guard replied "Yeah, is freakishly strong give him a shot of Hypnod 120 that will make him less hostile. Unless that is you're going to play nice?".

Brandon didn't know what Hypnod 120 was, but it didn't sound very pleasant. Brandon hoped Rocky would go along willingly for now, they would need his strength later when it came time to escape.

Rocky gave the guard a very intimidating smile as he replied "You show me my Lairon, alive and healthy and I'll play nice. Otherwise we can play game of "Kick the guy who comes near me with a syringe, right where it will do the most damage to his future baby making chances!" Brandon also cracked up, let out a soft chuckle before containing his laughter altogether.

The situation became very serious, very fast as Meghan shouted "Dont you dear stick him with a needle". When the guards didnt heed the warning, she quickly followed it up with "Lets show them who they are mesing with!". Meghan then ran full speed at the guard closest to her, tackling them to the ground. Brandon, adrenaline now pumping through his veins, saw a guard emerge at the back of the van, not wanting to risk him tackling Meghan, he ran over and pulled the guard down off the van.

The two continued to roll and struggle on the ground, the guard was just starting to get the upper hand when a voice shouted out "ENOUGH".

The guard immediately let go of Brandon and climbed to his feet. Whoever the voice was had to be in charge. As Brandon got back on his feet he looked up and saw that the speaker was Lorelei, the elite four trainer. Brandon could not believe his eye. An elite four trainer was in charge of a kidnapping racket!?! Brandon couldn't wait to break free and tell the rest of the elite four trainers who Lorelei really is so she could be kicked out of the league.

As Brandon thought this, Lorelei continued speaking saying "Enough, help these trainers up and get them to processing. Do not harm Mr. Smithwick. We do not want a lawsuit on our hands". Brandon almost chuckled again as he murmured under breath "And you don't think kidnapping and holding us against our will is grounds enough for a lawsuit?".

Luckily no one seemed to hear his smart remark because she continued on "Mr. Smithwick your pokemon are safe. You will see them again once we clear everything up."

At this point Meghan snapped at the elite four member saying that if she let them out of these chains, they could clear things up right now.

Lorelei replied with "Ms Stratus, it appears that you and Mr. Smithwick both needed extra chains." She smiled

" You have been brought here for your safety and that of the people of Lavender Town. Now I must excuse myself I have a special guest to meet." She said and then walked off.

Brandon snickered under his breath as he was shuffled back into the line "Held here for our own safety.... what a joke. The only thing I need to keep me safe are my pokemon and my pocket knife. Give me those back and I will show you how I keep myself safe".

The guards seemed to ignore him and brought the group in to a room for processing. After processing them, he was brought in to a room for interrogation. They showed him photos and asked him questions about Lavender town. All Brandon said to them was "I don't know anything about your talking about. I will not be answering anymore questions without a lawyer and without seeing my pokemon alive and well... speaking of my pokemon, if I find out they were harmed, I will personally give each and every one of you a beat down, chains or no chains. That being said, I shall say no more until I get to talk to a lawyer and see Skipper". The interrogator grunted, before signaling to the guard to get me out of there. The guard took Brandon to a holding cell where the rest of the group was already being held in.

As they sat there, Brandon broke the silence saying "This is complete bull, they cant hold us here like this... We have rights. I highly recommend none of you say anything more to these wanna bes without a lawyer", he took a deep breath, leaned closer to the others and then whispered "When they come back, we should jump them. All 5 of us could overpower a couple guards. We could take any weapons they have and demand they take us to our pokemon, from there we can bust our way out of this joint. What do you say guys"

It was a bold plan, probably would backfire, but it beat sitting there being treated like a prisoner when they done nothing wrong. Atleast in Brandon's book.

After Brandon finished whispering his escape plan, it immediately went out the window as a wave of weakness like he had never experienced before. His stomach was empty, it felt like it was trying to eat itself. Brandon tried to yell out that they needed food, but he was simply too weak, and he all he could muster was a whimper.

Thankfully, a minute or two later a couple doctors came by to check on them, and being concerned, had them moved to medical rooms for treatment. The boys were given their room and then they were given fluids and medicine from an iv. Brandon said to one of the nurses who was hooking in the iv... "Food... Can I have food... anything... please. His voice went quiet from weakness towards the end. The nurse gave a weak grin and continued hooking up the iv.

He was just about to drift off to sleep from the weakness, when he heard a voice say "Now is no time to rest my young friends". Weakly, Brandon opened his eyes to see who the speaker was. A tall man stood before them, a concerned look on his face. Brandon thought he recognized the face from somewhere, a book he read perhaps, but he was far too weak to try and think about who the man was. When the man said "You all look very weak. This is unacceptable. I will see what I can do about getting us some food." Brandon gave him a weak smile as he walked off, it was nice to see someone in this building actually cared for their well being!

After a couple minutes he returned with a nurse, who after a quick look at them turned to a guard at the door, saying with a snarl that they needed the infirmary.

The nasty guard replied... "Sorry Joy, we got that blind girl upstairs. The boss doesn't want anyone else from this group mixing with her for now."

When Rocky replied about his lawyer retiring, Brandon actually chuckled a little. He plucked up enough strength to reply, saying "Yeah... and you know what else your boss doesn't want? A lawsuit... she said so..." here he coughed a couple times before continuing "And you dont want to mess with Rocky... his folks are rich, they will own this place before you can say 'lawsuit' if we don't get proper attention..." here his voice trailed off, having run out of the temporary strength he mustered up.

He hoped the threat of a lawsuit would be enough to get the guard to allow them into the infirmary.

After Brandon's quip, nurses and guards seemed to flood the room suddenly, arguing among themselves as to whether to bring them to the infirmary or not. Eventually the nurses won out and the group was allowed to go to the infirmary. As they were being escorted to the infirmary, Brandon stuck his tongue out and shot a nasty glare at the guard who had initially denied them access to the infirmary. Once they reached the infirmary, they were placed in 2 different rooms, Rocky and Brandon shared one room while Alice and Meghan shared the other. They were hooked up to ivs and offered meds. When a nurse offered him the meds, Brandon thought about giving a nasty retort, but quickly decided against it. These nurses actually seemed to care about their well being and it wasn't their fault how they had been treated. Instead Brandon gave the nurse a weak smile and politely declined "No thank you... Just give me some food and let this iv do its work and I will be just fine". Brandon didn't trust anyone in this place, he sure as heck wasn't going to let himself be drugged in a place like this. He needed to maintain a clear mind so that he could escape when the time came. Brandon had read all kinds of stories of people being given medication that makes them so relaxed and messed up, they can't even remember how to talk properly. There was simply no way he was ever going to be accept any more medication then he needed to.

After the nurse left, the nasty guard that had originally declined them access to the infirmary, shot them an annoyed look before walking away. He returned a short time later though, throwing a newspaper at Rocky and saying with a sneer "There you go, Mr. Smithwick. You'll notice the front page says terrorist attack. That would be why minors are being locked up here. Youll gets a lawyer at some point but normally we don't rush terrorist to freedom." The guard then laughed and walked away again.

Brandon shouted after him "Your the terrorists... not us and your lucky I am so weak, or I would knock that grin right off your face", the guard continued walking away. After he was out earshot Brandon said to Rocky "What an ahole" before looking at the newspaper and reading the article about them being so called 'terrorists'. The article had very little factual information or evidence aside from the fact that the pokemon tower had collapsed and been destroyed. They also had a very blurry picture of the team with a caption asking who they were. The assertion that they could have destroyed a tower single handedly was outrageous and made Brandon hate the reporter writer so much. He said "Stupid journalists... going to make blind assertions without any facts or evidence." after a brief pause he said "Why aren't they going after Dredd, he was the cause of all this, we were just trying to stop him that's all" after still another brief pause he asked Rocky "So uhh... you think your folks would hook us all up with attorneys? Good ones... something tells me we are going to need them if they try to pin whatever happened on us".

The whole situation still didn't make sense to Brandon, while he may not be able to remember exactly what happened, he does know they would never have destroyed a historical landmark such as the tower willfully or intentionally. He knew they had the wrong people, but he feared they may not believe them.

Brandon was happy to have such a rich friend such as Rocky at a time like this, Rich people always get the best lawyers that can get them out of almost any jam. Brandon was about to reply regarding the saving the mis treatments in the revenge center thing, when they saw Alice get wheeled out of her room on a stretcher. He shouted out "ALICE!" and tried to run over to her, but the guards held them back. Brandon shouted angrily, but weakly at the guards "Let us go with her... she is our friend!". When the guards wouldn't budge, Brandon reluctantly went back in and sat down in a chair next to Rocky. He was about to ask Rocky if he could read the paper again, when he noticed Kyo walk by the door, she shot them a quick nod as she passed. Brandon nudged Rocky with his elbow and said "Kyo... I just saw her pass by... I think" He wasn't sure if it was real or if the medicine in the iv was making him hallucinate. He was relieved when he heard her say something to the guards and then the guards went running away, leaving them unguarded. Brandon thought to himself momentarily "FINALLY NOW WE CAN BUST OUT OF THIS JOINT", but then remembered he didnt have his pokemon and they still had to find Rose. There was no way he was going anywhere without his pokemon or Rose.

Kyo appeared in the hallway in front of their room and Meg's room. Meghan was the first to reach Kyo, running up to her and giving her a big hug and asking her if she was ok and then asking where Rose is. While seeing Kyo made Brandon feel happy and relieved, all he could think about was his pokemon. He wondered if Kyo knew anything about their pokemon were or not, since she seemed to know her way around the place. He found himself suddenly having a burst of energy and so he shouted out "Our Pokemon?" Even though he only spoke two short words, Brandon found he was slightly out of breath, despite still being filled with adrenaline. He leaned up against a nearby well to catch his breath.

As he caught his breath, he saw Rocky hold up the newspaper and shout "THIS!". Brandon looked at Kyo waiting for a response hopeful that she would know where their pokemon were.

Brandon nearly fell over when Kyo said Dredd wasn't real. There was no way he wasn't real! They had all seen him, clear as day! Their pokemon even battled his dark pokemon. Brandon was outraged and shouted "What do you mean Dredd isn't real?!?!? We all saw him, clear as day and our pokemon even battled his dark pokemon and got sick from it. Even if it was in our head, how did our pokemon get sick for awhile then??" The whole thing didn't make sense to Brandon, he thought the footage must have been doctored to remove Dredd. He paused and then said "They must have edited the footage to remove Dredd in order to cover up what they did to him and pin this whole thing on us... he has to be real... he was there, you all know it!"

The yelling took all the energy from Brandon again, so he made his over to the chair in room and sat down, as he sat, his mind wandered off, trying to figure out what to make of this new revelation.

* We're going to jump a little bit ahead here


Kyo find a way to talk with Brandon, Rocky and Meghan.
"Brandon is right!" Meghan weakly none of what Kyo said was making sense.

"What you said can't be true. If Dredd isn't real what happened to Max? We didnt make him up. He was a league champion we met before we knew each other." She said trying to understand what was going on.

Meghan looked to Kyo.
" Alice and Rose are here on this floor. Can you check on them before doing anything else? Rocky, Brandon and I will come up with a plan. If we're going on the trail tomorrow we need out of here by tonight." Meghan said.

The guards who Kyo had tricked could be heard coming back and she was forced to go. After Kyo took off to check on Alice and Rose.

"The guards will be here soon. I cant think of a way out of this. Our best bet might be just getting brought back to the general population. It seems like will have more freedom in there to formulate a plan."

Meghan headed back in needing to sit back down. She felt like she might pass out. All of this new information was to much to process. How had they ended up here. Why couldnt she remember what happened in Lavander town?


Character Optoins

Kyo can choose to check on the Alice and Rose or explore the rest of the facility
Brandon and Rocky can choose to just wait to be sent back or can come up with a plan to take advantage of less guards.

*Sorry about my absence, been working all week. Good to see this finally active again*

Meghan agreed with Brandon about Dredd being real. Kyo didnt have much time to answer before the guards returned and she had to go. The group was going to try and create an escape plan by getting back into gen pop. Brandon loved the idea and would do whatever he could despite his weakness.

Brandon was about to ask Rocky what he though they should do when he went up to the door and requested for one of the guards to get a massage table and a fancy menu. Brandon chuckled a bit as he imagined a massage table and fancy feast in the room. When the guards looked at him like he was crazy, he told went back to the lawsuit line he had used before. Brandon smirked as he told the guards how his lawyers would sue everyone for every penny they had.

Brandon felt a little bit of strength return to him finally, so he got up and moved beside Rocky, ready to help with the plan anyway he could.
