After Brandon introduced himself and the group, the woman explained about how ferries were not coming after what happened at One Island, but that there was a trainer by the name of Lorelei that might be able to help them.

The group thanked the woman then headed to where this Lorelei apparently lived. As they approached her cottage, it suddenly got extremelly cold, Brandon zipped his hoodie up further, put the hood over his head and put his hands in his pockets. It was so cold, he could see his breath. Some of Brandon's pokemon were slightly uncomfortable with the extreme cold as well. Skipper sensing his trainer and fellow pokemon didnt like the cold, wrapped his arms and tail around Brandon's other pokemon and Brandon himself. He also made the flame on his tail grow bigger as to make it a little warmer in there for them. It helped slightly, but with this sheer cold, not even the huge fire type's best efforts helped all that much. Rocky's Charizard Fury, also was doing his best to warm up the eerily cold place for everyone. As this was happening Rocky asked if anyone knew anything about Lorelei, to Brandon's surprise Kyo, stepped up to offer information on her. Brandon was shocked, it seemed this girl knew alot. He wondered how many books had read and study as kid. He also wondered how she became affilated with Team Rocket at all. That was water under the bridge now though, he supposed.

Kyo explained she a seemly powerful ice type trainer and even previously an elite four member in Kanto. That meant she was very powerful.

Brandon chuckled a little at that and said aloud "Let's try not to ever get on her bad side then, shall we?" After this, Brandon went back to being silent again and focusing on keeping warm, but Skipper was doing most of the work for him and was doing as best a job as he could at warming him and his pokemon up. Brandon waited to see if this Lorelei would open up and if she would help them.

The trainer Loreli opened up looking very annoyed after Stacy's excessive knocking. Alice began to offer an explaination of who they were, but when Loreli mentioned something about why the island remained closed, Rocky blurted out an entirely different story. Brandon silently shook his head and facepalmed, now they were screwed, Loreli would never believe them now.

To his suprise Loreli agreed tell help get Stacy to one island. Stacy then opted to go by herself, something everybody in the group though was foolish, but they couldnt stop her and off they went. Loreli told them they could get a ride off the island in a few days.

Brandon sighed, now what would they do for several days! He thought going to look for the mega stones that other trainer had mentioned might be worth the time. Alice spoke up about it before him though. Brandon shared his agreement with the group on finding the stone. "Yeah let's see if we can find those mega stones, I think Skipper or Marshtomp would love to go Mega form one day, let's find those stones!" . With that, Brandon went back to being silent and waiting for the group to leave and head out

Alice and Rocky started to set out in search of the young trainer they had first come across the day before to see if he knew where to find Mega Stones. Brandon followed them saying "I am coming too, like I said, I think Skipper or Marshtomp would like to reach their mega form one day" . A few minutes in, Alice suggested they split up.

Before this could happen Brandon spoke up "Is that really nessecary? I mean couldn't we use some of our flying pokemon to help us find this Logan? Me or Rocky could send up Skipper or Fury and you could send up your flying type and they could see if they could spot any sight of the trainer, then we would know which direction to go to catch up with them? What do you guys think"?

Alice released her pidgeot, which the group seemed to think was needed, then Alice led them back toward where they had first encountered Logan. As they walked, Brandon noticed the silence and beauty of nature on the island. After a little while, his thoughts were interupted by Alice's Pidgeot returning. The bird pokemon circled a few times before landing and returning to her trainer. Brandon wondered if the bird had spotted anything, Brandon didn't think so, since the bird appeared to be calm and relaxed. Brandon was about to ask Alice though to be sure, but before he could, a humming sound could heard. The sound appeared to be getting louder by the second. Immediatelly Brandon's pokemon formed their defensive formation around him and prepared for a possible encounter. A couple seconds more and Brandon's pokemon's full attention was to the south of them. Brandon assumed that was where the sound was coming from. A few more seconds later they could see a scizor in the distance, presumably Logan's. If that were the case they would know where to look. As the Scizor flew past, the team began to follow it as best they could, but they lost it at the edge of the forest. Brandon was about to try and organize a search of the area around the forest to try to find a path through, when suddenly Rose started walking away from them and further into the forest. Alice tried calling to her but when they got no response theu just decided to follow her. As they began to move further into the forest, Brandon instructed his pokemon to keep a sharp out for anything out of place of suspicious and to alert him to even the smallest of oddities. He had a bad feeling about what was happening to Rose, she was acting weird. Was she being hypnotised by some wild pokemon? Brandon didn't want to take any chances. A few moments later though they came out to what appeared to be a makeshift camp. Here they found Logan on a laptop. Brandon was glad they had found Logan and knew then they should alright. He told his pokemon they could stand down a bit. They did relax a bit, but remained viligant to the sorrounding area as they always were and remained their defensive formation not willing to take any chances in this unfamilar forest. Alice and Rose began to converse with Logan, while they did so, Brandon took his pack off, took out a bottle of water and took a long sip, then put it back. That walk had made him a bit thirsty. Then he put the pack back on and continued to listen to the conversation quietly.

Logan pointed out to each of them where the stone they could find were and loaded a map of the area. Brandon's stone was located somewhere down a path leading to the shore. Brandon set out that way, Skipper flying above Brandon stretching out his new wings, Marshtomp was right next to him along with rest of his pokemon. As he made his way down the path it started to become clear it wasn't going to be as easy as he thought. In one area, the grass was REALLY tall and overgrown and Brandon had to have Parasect use blade cut to slice through the grass just enough to get through.

As he continued on towards the shore Marshtomp began to get real excited. The prospect of being able to reach his Mega form seemed to make him very happy. About 10 minutes later, they reached the beach and his pokemon began scouring the beach for the stone. Brandon noticed a suprisingly large group of seels relaxing just at the very edge of the waterline, where the beach met the water. Brandon began to search that area very cautiousily for the stone. He saw it, it was a mere couple feet from the seels. Brandon ordered his team to get into tight defensive formation and Brandon made a run for it, right as he was about to reach it the seels woke up and began to get really mad, Brandon slid in to where the stone was, grabbed it, got back up and started to run away from the seels as fast as he could, but they were sending water guns after them and Brandon kept slipping and falling.

Skipper swooped down and let out a huge roar and let a streak of fire at one of the seels, taking that one out but agitating the rest of them even further. Brandon called for Skipper to get back to his side. Brandon knew he meant well, but that tactic wasn't going to work and would only make them angrier. Marshtomp stepped forward and motioned for Brandon and all his pokemon to get back to the main path and off the beach. Brandon complied and him and the rest of his pokemon made a bolt for the path while Marshtomp used his water type abilities to move all the water away from the team. He was doing a good job, but with there being so many, he couldn't control them all.

Right as Brandon and his pokemon cleared the beach and reached the path, a water gun hit Marshtomp and sent him flying backwards. He got right back up, glanced where the team was, saw they were in safety zone, then with all the power he could muster, he made a big surf of water rise up from the ocean and hit all the seels. The wave was so big it hit Marshtomp as well, but he had been ready for it and had begun to swim upwards with it as it reached him, making the effects on him very slight, the wave began to lose strength and size as it made its towards the team, finally dying off just shy of the team. All that was left when it reached the team was a big puddle of cold water that made the teams feet and lower legs really cold. Overall though, none of them were hurt and the remaining seels fled back into the ocean.

It seemed performing surf had worked. It was risky, but it seemed Marshtomp knew what he was doing and had made just the right size where it would do damage to the seels but would die off before it reached Brandon and the team. Marshtomp waved his paw in the air after the seels and said "MARSSHHH TOMPP TOMPP" as if to say "That is what you get for messing with my trainer and friends!!". Brandon gave Marshtomp a high five and Skipper gave one him one as well. After some more minor celebrating, the team slowly made their way back down the path towards logan. Admiring the pretty stone, the whole way.

As Brandon and his pokemon were heading back to Logan, he met up with Rocky who seemed to want to pick up the pace a bit, so they did. Within a couple minutes they came across Rose and her team as well. At this point Brandon decided to make conversation and said to both Rocky and Rose "So, how did you guys make out? You find your stones?". Brandon was still holding his in his hand waved it at them to show he had got his, then he put his hands back to his sides and waited for them to respond.

*sorry about the confusing post I last posted, I had only seen Max's reply from the previous page and didn't know there had been other posts, I apologize for any confusion it may have caused.*

As they walked, Brandon learned that Rocky and Alice had run across some shadow pokemon. He knew that wasn't good. He hoped the pokemon involved would get better quicker then the first time when they got sick from those things. Suddenly, as they were walking in the tall grass, Brandon's mind distracted by the thoughts of Rocky's probably sick pokemon, Brandon heard Skipper let out a low growl, followed by a rustling noise. Brandon snapped back to reality and thats when he noticed the grass type that stood before them, however, the pokemon didn't seem to be threatening them in anyway and didnt seem to wish to harm them, which was unusual for a wild pokemon. Moments later he heard Logan's voice and knew the pokemon must belong to him. Brandon told Skipper to stand down "Skipper, it's ok, it is a friend, stand down buddy" to which Skipper stopped growling at the pokemon, but still kept a close eye on the pokemon, being the type of pokemon that didnt want to take any chances. Soon Logan appeared and told them there was a pokemon center somewhat nearby and had one of his pokemon take Alice there, with both her and Rocky's sick pokemon to the pokemon center. Once the pokemon and Alice had dis appeared, Rocky and a couple others pushed for them to hurry up and try get to the pokemon center as fast possible. The group did their best, but with it being so dark it was a task just trying not to get lost, Brandon didn't think they would be able to find the pokemon center in this darkness and was about to suggest they find a place to set up camp, when suddenly Brandon noticed something move out of the corner of his, Skipper also noticed and let out a threatening growl in the direction of the movement, Skipper then had Brandon's team tighten their defensive formation around him.

Within moments Brandon noticed a Misdreavous and a Duskull . Rocky and his pokemon took the misdreavous.

Brandon thought possibly a Duskull might be cool to have and decided to try and catch it.

Brandon gave an order to Marshtomp to weaken it a bit, but warned not to take it completely out, "Marshtomp, I want you to attack and weaken that Duskull, but DO NOT make it faint completely, I want to catch it. So please, just weaken it, but do not take it out completely. understand?" , Marshtomp nodded and proceeded to shoot a small spout of water at the duskull using water gun.

As soon as Brandon thought it was weak enough, he called out "Enough" to Marshtomp, who promptly stopped attacking it. Brandon then threw a pokeball at it.

Capture form:

Pokemon using: Marshtomp
Pokemon trying to catch: Duskull
Point Requirement: 19
Item being used: Pokeball (×1)
Points on hand: 103

Brandon said good job to Marshtomp and then waited for the others to be ready to get going again.
