Cipher Nine / Lehman
Route 111 Desert, Hoenn. On route to Harper Industries
Affected RPers: None



A storm that deceives the eyes, that punishes those unworthy and unprepared. Unwavering and unsettling, a sand storm unrivaled, Hoenn's own Route 111 Desert. By day the sun scorches the desert which would melt even the unprepared trapinch that makes home in these parts burrowed underground. By night temperatures drop cold enough for ice types to make nest.

Walking. Traveling. Hunting. A figure pierces its way through the storm. To their advantage nightfall served them best. The moonlight served sufficient enough to illuminate the sand wasteland but also dark enough to utilize stealth. Draped in a black robe that wore off sand making contact to the skin. A hood that hid the face from those near and far. Although even these were not enough to traverse these parts. Not without a particular item.

Cipher: "It cant be helped can it?...he got away before we could approach him...it also works better this
way. One can't gain the interest of someone of his stature without offering something of
interest."

Lehman: "HAHA...your wrong once again. He better have something good to offer us in exchange for
our help. If it wasn't for his parents that kid would be a snot nosed punk incapable of helping
himself. A leech..."

Cipher: " Were doing this my way Lehman. You were far to rash in procuring these Go-Goggles".

Cipher and Lehman had left Goldenrod cemetery to pursue on a mission. The infiltration of a lab hidden within Route 111 desert.

Lehman: "We should almost be there, dont compromise the plan. We each got a part to serve!"

It wasn't long before a lab was found camouflaged into the mountain. Finding the lab would be extremely hard if not provided the route/coordinates. Lehman had interrogated a Rocket Scientist that used to be part of the Reversi Project. Cipher was able to track him down soon after they destroyed the lab.

Standing about 3 Kilometers or 1.86 Miles from the lab the two decided to begin the operation. Lehman begun by releasing Gengar.

Lehman: " Ok Gengar, Its time. Begin the Haunt"

At that moment Gengars grin grew even more sadistic as he then vanished. It only took 5 mins before windows had been shattered and screams were heard. Even from the distance that Lehman and Cipher had stood from the lab did they know that the operation had been going smoothly. It was then that a sound beneath them gained there alert.



A Granok Rocket guard lost his stealth as an uppercut from the beneath the sand had struck them. Lehman in time was able to guard but sending them upwards.

Lehman: " **** that was a close one."

Cipher: "Watch out, there's another guard!!!!!!!"

A Neko Rocket guard stood from a distance launching sand pellets from a distance with its psychic ability. Being suspended in the air it was impossible for them to dodge. Or so the guards had assumed. Lehman had removed there robe cloak and used there single wing to dodge the projectile attack.

Granok Rocket guard: He's an angel aim for his wing!

The Granok had shouted as he burrowed his way underground. Lehman then dodged another projectile attack and was forced to land.

Cipher: "Lehman I got this."

Cipher punched into the sand creating a distraction. The guards couldn't see him. A flash seeped its way threw the sand surrounding him. Cipher then charged his way towards the Neko Rocket Guard. The very second he took notice of the Granok about to ambush him he leaped into the air straight wards. The granok, eager, further pursued him into the air. It was then that he grabbed onto him and unleashed a furious kick that resembled a dragon tale. Lehman's doing. The Granok thrashed his way into the sand.

Cipher much aware of the Neko surprise attack had then released his Synthetic wing, which forced its way from within his back, and had then shielded himself. The Neko surprised it's attack had no effect on the wing and stood defenseless. Cipher then waved the proper hand signs conjuring lightening within his palm. With a majestic push from his wings he quickly rushed his way towards the Neko. Cipher then yelled

Cipher: "Starmie use Surf!"

A storm of water then rushed towards the Neko forcing it to jump upwards. Although the surf wasn't meant for the Neko but for the Garnok which very much so did survive Lehman's kick and lied in wait for an opening. The Neko then grasped the situation and where the source of light had come from. It was much to late as Cipher had pierced his lightening powered jab threw its body.

The fight had ceased but not for Lehman. The Garnok lied unconscious. He sat him up and looked at him.

Lehman: "Gengar use Dream Eater!"

The Garnok Screamed loudly before passing.

Lehman: "Good we should have the information needed to handle the other guards and infiltrating. Plus with that scream every guard in the area should have heard it. How about we cause a ruckus and let the wild pokemon handle them? haha"

Cipher: " Good idea. Lets sneak our way in."

Cipher and Lehman within the stronghold like lab glanced upon what they were looking for. A confirmation on there theory. A clue to the famous bloodfall assassination, the repressor ability. Cipher then decided to make the lab his new headquarters for his new research.

Cipher: " Tomorrow we make our way to Harpers HQ. We might as well find some scientists and recruits for our new base. Today marks the day of our new cause, our new group, Specter."

The two stood on top of the facility admiring their accomplishments and the screams of guards in misery.
