Affected RP'ers: @Neo Emolga @Desolate Divine


Luneth was surprised to hear that someone had broken into the diamond ladies room. “Oh no, it must have been one of those stalker fans. I hope everything gets sorted out and Cassandra feels better soon.”

After “Cinnamon” and the Zorua started growling at each other, the ladies took their leave.

“You really don’t like that Eevee, do you?” She said petting the Zorua’s head. “Ok, let’s get back to finding your trainer then.”


Luneth wandered the central park, asking everyone she met about the Zorua, but no-one knew anyone who had lost one.
She needed a break, maybe Zorua’s trainer was on a different part of the ship by now?

Luneth decided to rest at the picnic area. She’d planned to eat at that Shaymin Cafe, but with the Zorua search going on it would have to wait. As it was she just grabbed some snacks out a vending machine and settled down to plan her next move. She laid her map out on the table, mentally checking the places she’s searched. She’d checked the teen area of the Youth Zone and Central Park already. Maybe her Zorua’s trainer was training in the Battle Arena?
As she finished off her crisps, She saw in the distance the Diamond Ladies were also taking a lunch break, or at least trying to between all the fans asking for autographs.

Just as Luneth was about to leave, everything started to happen at once. First, the Diamond Ladies appeared to have bought a toy or something from a girl, when a man all in black stole it. Violet chased after the thief, almost catching him, but then seemed to disappear, leaving a Furret in her place. The the Furret glared at Jarena, before seeming to chant something, and Jarena turned into a Bunneary!
Luneth found herself grinning widely. That was magic! Real honest to goodness magic! And people could turn into pokemon! Oh, but the Diamond ladies probably didn’t want to be pokemon.

The Zorua took advantage of this moment of distraction to kick away from Luneth’s hold, dashing away after the thief. Luneth wasn’t sure if it was going after the thief to try and catch them, or if it had recognised it’s trainer. She really hoped it was the former.

Before she could go after them, a blur shot down from the ceiling like a cannonball, smashing through the glass ceiling. People stated panicking and fleeing the scene, and Luneth was buffeted as she pushed against the flow, trying to see if the Diamond Ladies were ok.
Upon pushing through the crowd, Luneth saw that the Ladies bags and clothes were gone. That wasn’t just a random attack, it was cover for another thief, Luneth realised. But why were the Diamond Ladies being targeted? This was certainly more than just a rabid fan.

As everyone fled the area, Luneth reached for her bag and tossed out two pokeballs, releasing a Sky Forme Shaymin and a Volcarona.
“Glimmer, go quick and see if you can find where that Zorua went. He was chasing a man all in black who just stole something, and might need backup. Hestia, come with me quick.” The Shaymin nodded, then shot off in the direction Luneth indicated, while the Volcarona hovered slight above and behind Luneth, blocking any sneak attacks.

As she approached the former humans, she saw that Cassandra’s Victini was with them now. Why would one of Cassandra’s pokemon be here without her? No, that doesn’t matter right now.
“You need to get out of here,” she told the pokemon. “That stalker of yours seems much more dangerous that I thought. You need to go warn Cassandra, unless she already knows. Either way, Me and Hestia can escort you safely back to your rooms or wherever you need to go.” Luneth gestured to the Volcarona that was floating over them, glancing around the whole area for any sign of another attack.
“Come on, it’s not safe to stay here.”

Same timeskip thingy as Desolate Divine's post. Luneth goes along with the ladies to wherever it happens. (Whether they want her to or not :P)

“So, um…” Luneth looked like she was trying to be casual, but it was obvious she was exited. “Can that pokemon spell work on anyone? And do you pick what pokemon they’re turned into? Can you do any other kind of magic? Oh, please don’t tell me that this was just a trick and it isn’t really magic.”

As they were about the round a corner, a man stepped out in front of them, asking to talk in a way that seemed to signify that not talking wasn’t an option. Wait, he wants to talk to pokemon? Does he know who they really were?
A quite growl from Hestia confirmed that there were surrounded, as a Latios had snuck up behind them. Was that Latios what had caused the cannonball effect earlier? It would certainly have been fast enough…
“Were you the one who attacked the Diamond Ladies back in the park?” She said, reaching for her other pokeballs as Hestia faced the Latios.
“I won’t let you hurt them.” She said, sounding a lot more confident that she was feeling. Luneth had trouble winning against trainers without legendaries, but maybe this guy only had the one pokemon? Then she could win by attrition, or at least get everyone away while it’s distracted…
