Moonlight Island: A thick, heavy fog surrounds it. Ships that pass through them, more often then not, are never seen or heard from again. Anyone passing by the island only notice the fog and generally steer clear of it. A cargo ship sailing from port to port passes by the fog as the captain looks at his crew-mates worriedly. This fog hadn't been noticed before, and the captain had sailed this route for many years now. Just looking at the dense fog makes him weary of it.

"Hey er...Captain? Was that there before?" One of the crewmen had noticed the thick fog too, and was worried. The man had been working with the captain for two years now. And nothing ever got past his keen eyes. Knowing it was his duty to keep everyone remaining calm, the captain turns and tries to put on his best reassuring smile.

"No. But I don't think there's anything to worry about. It's just fog, and there's no icebergs here in these waters. Besides, it's the middle of summer! Relax." The captain would smile genuinely as it seemed to work, putting the crewmen at ease once more. Then turning back to peer out at the fog again, the captain once more felt an unease creep straight back in. Something seemed off about it. The fog looked like it could crush anyone that got too close. Holding back a shudder he takes in a deep breath and exhales it as quietly as possible. Deliberately he nudges the ship's course to move around it ever so slightly, just to be on the safe side. Never in his 36 years of commanding a cargo ship had he come across this...what was the word he looked for? Evil? He shook his head. No, that wasn't the word he searched for, until it hit him. The word was thing. Yes! That was it. He had never come across this thing before in all his years sailing this exact route. Never. And he wondered why it had appeared out of the blue. As the ship continued on her journey, a few trainers who had gotten onto the ship were wandering around. There were about six of them. Mostly traveling trainers on their way to Cyllage City. Others just going where ever the wind took them. Above the cargo ship was a veteran trainer who had retired from the all the action. Now she and her Pidgeot flew around the world, cruising along at their own pace. Sometimes giving helpful tips to new trainers in the hopes they would grow up to be stronger and more mature then when they begun. Silvia was her name. She too had spotted the fog.

"Hey Pidgeot? What do ya make of that hunk 'o cloud?" Silvia asked her companion in a southern accent. Her companion replied uneasily and Silvia nodded, understanding it perfectly.

"I hear ya. I dun like it none either. I hope this capt'n stays clear of it too." The Pidgeot seemed to tip it's altitude slightly away from the massive fog. Despite being so high up over the cargo ship, this fog was huge. And it looked like it could go on for miles even. Silvia wondered out loud how the weather casters could have missed something like this. Silvia's first thought was a lightening storm, but as she had observed it, the characteristics were that of a fog. Shaking her head, she too slightly tipped to the side as her companion moved away a little bit more. Meanwhile on the ship: two of the younger trainers had been walking from end to end of the ship conversing while their pokemon played hide and seek. They did not notice the heavy fog. But their pokemon did as they stopped playing the game and stared at it. After stopping in for lunch, the two youngsters also stopped to stare first at their pokemon, then at the fog. It puzzled the trainers as they recalled their pokemon to go get something to eat, not worried about anything. Three other trainers had gone into the break room to also get some lunch as they greeted the first two trainers. The five of them were roughly about the same age, give or take a year or two. The rest were older, and scattered throughout the ship, not including the veteran who was flying over the ship on her Pidgeot.

As the ship's captain steers the cargo ship a little further around the fog, time seemed to slow down. Or at least that's how it felt for the crew. About fifteen and a half hours later the cargo ship docks in Cyllage City finally. Relieved, the captain goes about his duties as normal, the trainers get off the ship to go their separate ways, except two youngsters who had become friends during their time on the ship. They head off towards Amberette Town to go explore the Aquarium. An old man about 6 foot 4 inches tall walks silently past Silvia as she had her companion land to rest up. As they walk past each other, they stop, look at the other's eyes. The man's eyes seemed weary, cautious, and it was a little bit unnerving. Silvia noticed the man was covered in deep scars. Years old gashes seemed to carve all over this man. He stared a few seconds more before tearing his gaze from the veteran and walking away just as silently. She hadn't noticed, but an huge Arcanine was walking beside him, it's own eyes reflected that of the man's. And it too, bore deep scars. Shuddering quietly, Silvia could not help but watch as trainer and pokemon went out of sight after turning at a bend in the road. She headed up to the pokemon center for a night's rest.

A little ways down the Cyllage City coast lines, the old man walked to a small hut. Accompanied by his beloved Arcanine. The two sat down in front of the hut to watch the sea. The man watched for signs of the fog from his past, while his Arcanine listened for any sounds that indicated someone or even something approaching them. The evening would turn to night, and the two were still there until the man finally got up to go inside. Following and staying close at all times, his Arcanine would also go inside. Both their dreams were still haunted by the bloodshed and horror of the ordeal.

Morning comes around as the first rays of dawn peek around the horizons. The captain gathers his trusty crewmen and set sail to go the same way they had came. Another delivery to make. The man from the hut had come outside, and watched as the cargo ship left the port of Cyllage City. His Arcanine too, watched. As the ship sailed further and further, the captain wondered about that fog he had seen yesterday. After awhile though, he shrugged it off and kept steering the ship. There were a few new trainers on board, one happened to be related to Silvia, whom had set off earlier that morning headed further east to speak with Wulric. Two days would pass as a holo-caster announcement would be made worldwide. It was mid-day when news casters announced the disappearance of a cargo ship.... Silvia came back, and began asking around. She too was worried. There were other trainers on that ship, plus 80 crewmen, and the captain. The whole ship was missing, and now there's an uproar in Cyllage City, and the rest of Kalos. Anyone that came into the city would notice the locals talking to police, sharing every bit of details they could give. Meanwhile Cojins was with Grant talking about what might have happened. The old man planned to ask around for groups of pokemon trainers that could assist in a rescue attempt. Grant would be staying behind in case there were other trainers came by later. The gym leader would point them in the direction Cojins would be headed for. But for now, Cojins and his Arcanine began to round up pokemon trainers, asking them for assistance for a dangerous rescue mission.

Zachary Stone was getting serious. And that was hard to do. He had gotten the Holo Caster message about the missing ship, so he got a little worried, so he could still crack a (terrible) pun. Then he started hearing details as he got closer to Cyllage City, as he was about to leave for Unova. Strange fog? Time slowing down? Odd... he had thought. Then he got there. Wow... these people are going insane over it! I mean, makes sense, but, really? Learning the size of the boat and the number of passengers. Okay, starting to lose logic. I thought it was a little towboat or something, but... anything that big doesn't go missing. Unless it's a legendary Pokémon, of course. His Rapidash was reflecting his internal worry outside. He looked nervous, like he knew something terrible would happen. He also looked like he was in shock, like someone was murdered. Zachary rode down to the gym. He was pretty sure Grant would: 1. Remember him. Zack had done crazy stuff with him. He had given him an insanely awesome battle the first time they met, then the second time, Alakazam was having waaaay too much fun with Grant. 2. Have at least some info. He was a pretty strong trainer, and the leader. The police would bring him all of the info along with the chief of CCPD. Zachary Stone and his trusty steed, aka Rapidash, got to the doorway of the Cyllage Gym, the only gym with benches and rocks to climb.
 
Grant would be near the gym doorways as a trainer approached him. It took a few seconds to realize whom it was. Grant shook his head with a half smile. He almost did not recognize the young man because of the situation.

"Zack! It's good to see a familiar face here of all places!" The gym leader would look at the Rapidash and smile a bit more then shook his head again before speaking. "So! What brings you here? A rematch or the crisis? I wonder if you're here because of that.." Grant's gaze becomes a little clouded with thought. He knew the cargo ship was carrying a supply of medicine as well as other necessities. An older woman, wearing a flight jacket and blue jeans with untamed jet black curly hair, came up behind him.

"Hm? Oh! Silvia. Er... Silvia this is Zack, and Zack this is Silvia." Grant quickly tries to introduce them. Silvia's grey eyes had dark circles underneath them. She merely nodded before walking past Zack and Grant. The gym leader sighed quietly before looking back towards Zack.

"Uh...you'll have to excuse her. One of her relatives were on that ship.. Hasn't slept since.."

((Turns will be: MarioMiner, me, lovandra. When more entrance posts are made the turns will change to accommodate more people.))

Mirage is bored again. He is laying on grass area at the edge of route 10. Geosenge Town was full of new trainers, and most of them though that they are so strong. Stupit brats, though Mirage. Mirage beat half of them, gained 7200 pokedollars, before stopped battleling. They are not only weak, means, not fun to fight with, but also poor.

'Citrine', he calls his Delcatty, who is curled nearest to him. All his pokemon nap around him, but Citrine is the one closer to his head. 'What do you think? Where is fun going?'

He kittles Citrine's fur with his left hand, while thinking, makes Citrine purr. He then hugs Citrine while them lay on the ground and smells its fur. Tigers Eyes, the Litleo, and Septarian, the Meowstic join them. Four of them then playfully wrestling, waking up Amentyst the Liepard and Lapis the Greninja, who then join them afterwards.

"You really are on good mood to play huh!", said Mirage while playing with and grooming his Pokemon.

"I know!", an idea suddently pop up on his head, 'SEA!', he raised his eyebrow, 'LET'S GO TO THE SEA!'

There was a man standing next to a black Greninja, the rest of his Pokémon however were confined to their Poké-balls. Didgeridoo noticed the gym leader, and made his way to Grant. Didge had heard the missing ship Holocaster announcement, and his Noivern had flown him as soon as possible. "Aye, Grant. What's with all the commotion?" The dark-skinned individual glanced towards his Greninja once more.
 
"Zack! It's so good to see a familiar face here of all places!" Grant glanced at Rapidash as he noticed the two of them. He shook his head, and asked, "So! What brings you here? A rematch or the crisis? I wonder if you're here because of that.." Grant looked kinda fazed. A veteran trainer walked in, looking a little tired. "Hm? Oh! Silvia. Er... Silvia this is Zack, and Zack, this is Silvia." He seemed like he wanted to get it over with. She nodded to him and kept walking. "Uh...you'll have to excuse her. One of her relatives were on that ship.. Hasn't slept since.."
"Naw, it's fine. I would act in pretty much the same way if someone I really cared about was missing." Zack felt as though he maybe should feel like that.
He felt another presence nearby. He heard a voice say, "Aye, Grant. What's with all the commotion?" He looked back. There was a dark-skinned person standing next to a Greninja almost equally dark in color.
"Hm?" Zack had murmured as he turned around. Now he openly went up to him and introduced himself. "Hello there. I'm Zachary Stone, and this is my partner, Rapidash. You are?"

((I hope this is fine. I was just taking my turn.))
 
The gym leader seemed to smile abit seeing the two trainers, but was still worried. "Ah yes, hello. The commotion is being caused because of a missing cargo ship. There was people as well as very valuable shipments being transported. Mainly medicine that was needed by some of the towns back in Kanto. And Silvia, an old friend of mine....one of her reletives are on that ship. Er...Cojins is arranging a search party. But it'll be dangerous." Grant seemed to pause trying to gather his thoughts. He debated telling them the full dangers or letting Cojins doing it. Meanwhile The old man was at the pokemon center looking for trainers to help with the search, preferring the strong trainers to those that had just started journeys of their own.


At the shores near the city, a group of Lapris passed by. They seemed unusually spooked.


@MarioMiner; That's fine, no worries. Turns: MarioMiner, me, lovandra, Morgan Freeman)
 
Mirage bring all his pokemon to Cyllage City, the closest city that have sea. He ride on his pretty Amentyst, with Tiger's Eyes when a black and blue shadow jump with high speed from trees above to next to them. Mirage chuckles, 'Amentyst, would you let Sapphire beat you again?'

Amentyst dashes faster, but Sapphire is his most competitive Pokemon, it hate lose more than Mirage's other pokemon. Lapis jumps down from Sapphire's back, on a right time, brough down Citrine. Right move, cause Sapphire suddently charged then dashes to beat Amentyst, out from last grass area of route 10.

Mirage smiles, pats his Amentyst who then lets him down from its back. He feed Amentyst with dried berries who he always stores on his small pockets, his pokemon's favorite, after feed Amentyst, Tiger Eye, and cured paralized Septarian, he come closer to Sapphire who have sat not too far from them.

Mirage smiles proudly before scratch Sapphire's neck. Mirage only ever gathered 4 badges make competitive Sapphire sometimes not obey his command, even more often than his other pokemon that he get from trading. But Mirage don't mind. Sapphire know how to fight and he know he can rely on Sapphire instict. Sapphire may needed to be brought to Pokemon Center after they battles on Geosenge Town. But it just need to take a rest on Nurse Joy's care, not really need a medication.

Lapis jumps out from the grass, is folowed but Citrine.

'I'm hungry. Let's eat before we play on the sea!'

----------------------------------------------------------------------

After meal and short nap, Mirage and his pokemon ready to play. Mirage give blackglasses to Sapphire to set the mood, look so cool on Luxray's black and blue fur. Lapis, who love water most already jumped to the sea. Tiger Eye layed down on the beach, sunbathing. Septarian then bury Tiger Eye under sand with its Psychic. Tiger Eye try hard to get out with Citrine, so not helping, giggles near them.

Mirage laughs so hard seeing his pokemon behavior. He chooses to let them playfully battle with each other.

'Do you hear what is happening on the ship?', conversation that is done by 2 swimmers, is heard by Mirage.
'Yeah, I watch the news on Holo Caster. Grant seems cauntious.'

Grant, familiar name, though Mirage. Aaah, he is the brat who always around Cyllage City Gym Leader! Now Mirage remember that boy, who first called Greninja as Lapis one of the gemstone that have close color to Lapis' skin. That start Mirage habit to name his pokemon on gemstones' name. How is that brat now.? We didn't see him in years.

'Lapis!', Mirage calls his Greninja.

'Remember Grant!,' said Mirage when Lapis is close to him, 'that boy who try to challange you and you beat when you are still a Froakie? The one who called you Lapis at first?', Mirage stopped to explain about Grant after he saw Lapis nodded.

'How about we pay him a visit.? He lives on the Gym, I guess.'

Didge glanced back to the gym leader, then Zack beside him. "The name's Didgeridoo. I collected all eight badges and defeated the Elite Four, but Diantha's Mega Gardevoir got me. This is my Greninja, but he's colored differently than other Greninjas. It's what most call a 'shiny' Pokémon." he explained, grinning as his Greninja crossed his arms and nodded.
 
"The name's Didgeridoo. I collected all eight badges and defeated the Elite Four, but Diantha's Mega Gardevoir got me. This is my Greninja, but he's colored differently than other Greninjas. It's what most call a Shiny Pokémon."
"Mega Gardevoir? It was giant-sized?" Zack had only obtained 3 badges, not making it to the point of knowing about Mega Evolution. "Shiny Pokémon? I think I saw a Shiny Magikarp, all golden. Still worthless, but..." Zack's voice trailed off. "So!" He turned around, back to Grant. "Are we gonna do something or what?"
 
Grant nodded and offers a smile, but the worry in his eyes tell a different story.As he looks from Zack to Didgeridoo, he sizes them up debating if to ask them to assist in the rescue attempt, until Zack breaks the momentary pause."Heh...at least you both found a shiny pokemon. Even if it may be worthless. To someone else, it could be a treasure. And yes we can do something Zack. You can either have a rematch with me...or perhaps help Cojins look for that missing cargo ship. Although it'd be dangerous if either of you went with the rescue.. Er, there's a story about an island that's surrounded by a thick fog. And it's mobile, meaning it doesn't stay in one place. No electronics work within 5 miles of it either, and forget about satellites the fog somehow displaces any image of it to make the fog or island look like nothing is there. I'm not sure if I have the right to even tell you what to expect on that island if you do decide to go with him.." Grant trails off, then looks up seeing another approaching them*


(Turns: MarioMiner, me, lovandra, Morgan Freeman)
 
Mirage walked to Cyllage City Gym, with all his pokemon. He is shirtless, only wear a boxer and smiled widely. He was on vacation mood.

Neither he wasn't aware of gloomy moods of the party he was approched, nor didn't care, he smiled widely and with his palm waving to them.

'Grant, wow you look so tall now!', he said, while walked to them. All his pokemon walked with him. Citrine and Lapis was on Amentyst back, while Septarian float in the air and Tiger Eye walked as fast as it could to followed the annoyed Sapphire.

"..Who is that supposed to be? And shouldn't he put some clothes on?" Digeridoo frowned, furrowing his brow. The Greninja shook its head in silence.
 
A mostly naked man, wearing only a pair of boxers, came in with a Greninja, a Luxray, a Liepard, a Delcatty, a Male Meowstic, and a Litleo. The Luxray (am i right?) was wearing a pair of Blackglasses, though they were almost useless, only helping its Crunch attack. The Pokémon were the first things Zachary saw. Then he saw the man. "OH MY GOD! PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!!" And he passed out, hearing Didgeridoo say, "..Who is that supposed to be? And shouldn't he put some clothes on?" Meanwhile, Rapidash gently let Zack down to the ground, the nuzzled him and pointed its horn towards the man. Rapidash growled.
 
*As Grant was about to answer the initial questions, he couldn't help but stare at the nearly naked man standing there. Grant had to shake himself before answering, then stopped seeing Zack fainted. The gym leader walked to Zack and shook his shoulders* "Uh....hey! Wake up!"


(Turns: Mario, me, Lov, Lady. Sorry using shorter version of names.)

Mirage ignored the comment and, especially, shouting about him to get some clothes on. He stood and scanned through the crowds then smiled. He heard about the ship and something bad happened there on the way to the gym, *oh he also heard that Grant was finally a Gym Leader, but he wasn't thinking that was important at the momment*

Finally something fun to do. Something to eager Sapphire's battle spirit and they could play on the water at the same time.

'Grant! Don't tell me that you forget me,' said Mirage, 'Ohh. Or you finally too busy now as gym leader, till you forget first person who acompanny you to get your first fossil? Huh?'

Of course not with easy way... Child Grant was one of the funniest naive child... That's why Mirage like him. He remember he left that young boy with... Tyrunt, cause he didn't like it. Timur have wanted a Saber Cat pokemon and though the fossil he got was that one. That child seemed so happy, made Timur kinda dissapointed and... what did he do to him after that?? He forgot...
 
"You really make no sense." Didge told Mirage quietly, eyes narrowing. "Return, Greninja. Noivern, let's go see if Cojins needs more search members." With that, the Greninja warped into a Dusk Ball, and a dragon type emerged from an Ultra Ball. Didge hopped onto the dragon's back, which then took to the air in search of the old man.
 
~Grant would be trying to wake Zach up from fainting. Then looks up seeing Didge's pokemon returning to it's pokeball only to be replaced with another one that comes out. Grant watches as the man flew off into the direction of the city below the cliffs where his gym sat up on. Then remembering he'd been asked a question, he looks over to Mirage~

"You sort of look familiar. Forgive me if I've forgotten, it's been awhile.. Could you help to locate that missing cargo ship? I'm kinda of stuck here right now. But Cojin's, who is a veteran trainer is near the pokemon center last I checked. He's looking for more trainers to go with him.."

~Meanwhile Cojins manages to gather three more trainers. His arcanine turns it's head slightly hearing the dragon pokemon Didge would be riding, then nips onto Cojin's sleeves giving it a tug. The old man turns in the direction his beloved and only pokemon points it's snout to. The two wait for the dragon to land, while the other three trainers gather supplies to take with them on the rescue mission~

(We skipped Mario's post for now since it's been awhile. The posting order is: Mario, me, Lov, Lady, and Shiny.)
 
/me would approach these folks not sure what they were like or who they were, but didn't really care she was a caring heart. A person capable of expressing concern and understanding to any creature or folk as long as they made an attempt to be good in some way or another or at least change there ways. She seemed to emit pure excitement and passion to be here. she was wearing a black form fitting pair of jeans it was covered in pink rind stones that seemed to be patterned into a flower, it was her favorite pair of jeans and were a gift from her mother, she was also wearing a blue tanktop that seemed to have the words "I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was in big yellow block letters. she waved to the two and simply said to them "good morning my name is Annie nice to meet you." her voice seemed to have an edge of nervousness to it almost like it was something she wasn't used to, or maybe she just wasn't that good with new people who really did know? the two things were often the same anyhow.
 
Mirage puts on his evil smile. Missing Cargo... that reminded him on something he though will be fun.
"Well, I heard about the missing cargo. I think we need to rent a boat to seach for it."
