Shawn Mazox
The Prism league
Sunnyshore City(Sinnoh), boat from Sunnyshore to Castellia.(Unova)
Affected RP'ers: indirect Axel Silverfield, anyone watching the news.

Boats were not Shawn's favorite means of travel. Not because he didn't like the ocean or that he was seasick, but because they were somehow never on time. Sometimes they showed up early, sometimes late, And, unfortunately, his particular boat chose this day to be very late.

This left him with a good amount of time on his hands. So he let Ruby out to stretch her legs, and he went walking through the streets of the beautiful city. As he walked, the tensions caused by the night of Bloodfall showed themselves, though to some people it might have been less obvious. Shawn could tell, however, that trust was at a low point. The streets, which had been bustling with many joyous people during his travels, were now empty, save for himself and one or two shoppers who seemed scared just to be out in the daylight.

What really caught his attention however, were the large tents that been hurriedly created on the edge of town. On closer inspection, he saw that a large number of Mechari families were clustered around the front of the tents, cleaning clothes and cooking food.

"It seems the people here have singled out the Mechari as the cause of all the recent problems," Shawn murmured to himself, "I have heard that this has been happening in a lot of places, actually. I wonder if it's true or not, I personally doubt that the mechari were the only ones behind those assassinations."

At this point however, a large horn sounded from the other side of the city. His boat had arrived. Finally. Sending a mental message to Ruby, who was probably out by the beach searching for something only she knew about, he hurried back to the dock. Ruby joined him quickly, and together they walked up into the ship.

"Sir, Pokemon must be kept inside their crystals when on the boat." Said a young sailor, stopping them just past the door. His bravado did not last long however, as Ruby turned her Mean Look ability on him. "G- go right ahead, sir.." he mumbled.

Looking around for where to go next, he quickly spotted a sign pointing toward a sitting area. The room was not too large, but it was packed full with large and comfortable looking seats. Shawn a seat near a large Mirrorvision, and ruby curled up beside him for a good long nap. Not feeling tired himself, Shawn instead turned on the news, hoping to learn something about the rioting he was supposed to help prevent in Unova. Unfortunately, when he turned it on all he got was a pokemart commercial, not something he felt like watching. He was just about to turn it off again when the news did come on, in the form of an emergency broadcast.

"This is an emergency broadcast relating to the rioting occurring in Castelia city, Unova. Earlier today, an unknown force has attacked the Greymane building, one of the main facilities of the High Magi Council. As everyone well knows, the High magi council was destroyed in the night of bloodfall. Clearly, this is an attempt by someone to stop the council from returning to its previous state. This video was taken only minutes ago from the 7th floor of neighboring building," the announcer reported.

In horror, Shawn and the other passengers who were listening watched as the news cut to scene of panic and chaos, surrounding the wreckage of the large, majestic Greymane building. Large colorful flames, clearly from a magical source, ran uncontrolled through its floors. For a moment, the video showed the chaos of the ground level: people running in every direction, shouts of threats toward whoever the causer was, and a comparatively small number of emergency workers trying to calm the crowds. Just as the video began to move back toward the flames in the building, Shawn noticed something odd: An angel, flying over the crowds holding a Chua. Normally Shawn would have though this was simply someone saving their friend, if not for the fact that while every one else was fleeing the building in a panic, this duo was flying straight toward it, aiming to get inside.

As he pondered who they could be, for they did not have the bright clothes of emergency workers on, the video moved toward the the roofs of other buildings, where emergency workers were attempting to shoot water at the higher floors. Again, he noticed something odd in the background, two things actually. The first was a small, purple and blue Pokemon flying in the distance. A porygon, or possible one of its evolutions, the distance made it impossible to be sure. The second, and to Shawn the most important, was a lone hooded figure standing on a building and watching the chaos. Beside him stood a large Charzard.

Mysterious duos, a random porygon or its evolution, and the hooded charzard rider. Shawn didn't know if he was the same one that he'd seen in Celestic town or not, but he doubted that they weren't related. The other thing he doubted was that the hooded figure had caused the fire at Greymane building. The fire riders, which is what Shawn had decided to call the group, had not used any magic, but instead had their Pokemon create the fire. The fire at the building was clearly magical.

Turning the Mirrorvision off, as the Emergency report had finished, Shawn had learned two very important facts: that the fire riders were not the only organized group rising out of all the rioting, and that someone related to the fire riders was stationed in Unova. As for the Porygon evolution and the odd duo, he would keep that information in the back of his head for later. For now, he settled down against Ruby's wonderfully soft and warm fur to take a nap. It was going to be a long boat ride.
