Welcome to Rustboro

Lucario and Terra had disappeared quite quickly; the pokemon was fast; that was for sure. No one seemed to be standing around since it was late... Well, it was almost early in the morning. Terra could only hope that Blake knew which directoin the vehicle had been pointing.

By the time Blake came out he noticed Terra and Lucario were gone but he knew to look at the ground and noticed the grass had been flattened in 2 rows which meant that was the way a car went. Blake followed it instead of the other trailer which had multiple routes which were the police.

Blake's choice of which path to follow would be correct; however, that didn't mean there wouldn't be things riddling that path. The first was a policeman that was on a motorcycle, the lights turned on and flashing for vehicles that were going to pass through. It was apparent that Blake wouldn't just simply walk by.

As Blake was running through the forest he noticed a flashing light and it turned in Blake's direction which caused him and Squirtle to hide behind a tree. As the duo waited for the light to flash off of them they caught their breathe. Once the light was off them Blake would send out Gligar "Distract them buddy" said Blake as Gligar started giggling before flying off screaming "GLIGAR GLI GLI" screamed the pokemon as he flew in a circle above the cop.

The policeman looked up at the gligar. It wasn't likely that this pokemon was a natural inhabitant of the surrounding area, and even if it had been, what reason did it have to attack when the policeman wasn't bothering it's home. "Back off," he told the pokemon in threat. "Or I'll have my partner sick you..." He looked from side to side and then forward, keeping a watch to see if anything suspicious arose; Blake's attempt to distract wasn't that good, and upon seeing a small movement, the policeman shined the light near Blake and his other pokemon.

"Ice beam!" said Blake as the light shined on Blake and Squirtle but the target wasn't the officer no. The target was the motorcycle. It hit and Blake and Squirtle proceeded to run. As for Gligar he sped forward in the direction of Lucario.

The officer attempted to go after the group of pokemon and trainer, though it was to no avail. The motorcycle's wheels had been frozen up, unable to rotate to get him where he needed to go. It was a sorrowful fact, but one that had to be faced; the officer only made a note of what Blake looked like, making sure that he would report it upon getting back to town after his shift was over. "That was reckless," Lucario spoke to Blake through his aura. "We heard your yell from far ahead!" The pokemon was essentially telling Blake he needed to be a bit more stealthy, especially if they got close to the vehicle that nurse Joy was inside of. "You've likely alerted any thieves that are still in the forest waiting for safety... Be prepared!"

"Bring em on" said Blake as him and Squirtle continued to run. Gligar still above the trees

Someone noticed that Blake was headed forward. It wasn't that much longer that they had noticed the trainer that they put an arm out in front of him, attempting to clothes-hanger him to the ground.

As Blake was running he noticed an arm infront of him which caused him to duck underneath in a baseball slide sort of before he got up running again as this happened Squirtle would turn around running backwards trying to keep up with Blake would shoot an icebeam towards the criminals feet.

[It'd be a little difficult to instantaneously process an arm pushed out to knock you over the few moments after it happened~]

The ice beam would be of no effect; after Blake had passed, the individual had disappeared into the surrounding trees and environment. It wasn't going to be the last that the two saw of the stranger, a couple of people rushing forward a small distance from the trainer; sadly for him, they were also a bit faster, having easily maneuvered from the ice beam that they had first been targeted by. After a few minutes of chasing after the two figured it would be quite easy to sandwich Blake, the two jumping quickly towards him to pull him back and to the ground.

As Blake and Squirtle ran the duo missed their mark with the men behind them and they vanished. As Blake and Squirtle continued to run they were caught by surprise by a branch which tripped up Blake and halted his movement. As this happened the duo of men sandwiched into eachother causing Blake to speak "oh shit" as he continued to run pass them.

[Purpose of the NPCs is to lead you into a fight; I guess I'll reserve that for when you get closer and they'll be stronger ;p]

[Skip me post; I got nothing atm]

As Blake continued to run passed the goons who fell he saw he was in distance of Terra and Lucario causing Blake to smile.

Lucario was standing in a tree, one paw against the trunk as Terra and him stared to the pokemon center vehicle. They seemed a little suspicious of the scene, as Joy was nowhere to be found; however, the vehicle was open. The lights were off, bulletproof glass with a small hole and it, and no one to be seen. "Did they get her," he pondered to Terra, his trainer unable to really come up with an answer herself.

As Blake approached a wide open area him and Squirtle stopped as the duo noticed the car was near them. It was wide open and Nurse Joy was nowhere to be found. "Do you see this" Blake thought hoping Lucario was listening "What now"

Lucario seemed to ignore Blake's thought; it was as though Blake wasn't using his common sense to figure that he and Terra were, in fact, witnessing it. The pokemon jumped from the tree, landing on his feet as he approached the vehicle with his trainer. They looked into the window, finding that there wasn't any blood or anything there; obviously Joy was okay, but she had been taken away somewhere... Or perhaps she had left the scene herself. There woudl be no way to tell.

Blake noticed Lucario and Terra advance to the vehicle which caused him to come out of hiding and advance forward with Squirtle. As for Gligar? Blake saw it best to put him back in his pokeball for now. Looking around the car Blake was trying to find a trail.

[I notice that most of the time the first 1/3 - 1/2 of your posts consist of just a review of the NPCs' actions; whereas this is fine, it's a little redundant when added with the posts I make; there's more than one way to state that their watching over them. For example, instead of saying "___ noticed __ moved to the door," you could write "___ watched over ___ as they moved towards the door; if something should happen, ___ could act quickly." It's just a thought for you to consider ;3

Lucario and Terra both seemed to sigh lightly after their light investigation of the scenario; upon a second glance, someone would also notice that the boxes Joy had been carrying to the vehicle were also missing. Apparently whoever had taken, or possibly kidnapped, Joy had also taken the crates. It seemed that someone was after them for some reason, even though Joy had previously spoken that they mostly just held pokeballs... "But it strikes the thought of who would do this for a box... What else is in those boxes," Lucario thought to himself and Terra in question, the latter shrugging lightly. "It's too cold to think on throughout the night... We should return to the town and report it in the morning," she whispered in response, Lucario turning towards Blake. "We should head back... There's no use in staying out here if we don't even know where she is," she told him. She was thinking he would play a hero part and try to reason his way into staying outside and attempting to locate the nurse; if it came to that, she'd have some choice words for him. (No, not words that require filters; dun take it that way)

Hearing the words of Terra Blake decided it was best to head back since the group probably didn't want to be out here all night in the middle of nowhere probably sitting ducks. "Fine, But first thing in the morning we come back" said Blake mentally to Lucario and Squirtle and Blake began walking back to the center in a different direction so he didn't run into the cops again.

"If you're going to come back it will be alone," Lucario told Blake. "Things are out of our hands now. The police should be the ones that take over after this incident." The pokemon then started rushing past Blake with Terra on his back.

Squirtle and Blake continued to advance to the hospital as lucario mentioned they'd be coming back without him in the morning. Thinking about what happened to nurse joy time flew by and the duo reached the hospital probably after lucario and Terra

No one was really waiting for Terra, Lucario, Blake, and the other pokemon he held; it was still a bit dark, though the sun was beginning to rise. "Let's get some rest," Terra yawned, stretching as she walked inside with her pokemon.

Walking in the pokemon center Blake went up to his room and took off his coat and sneakers before he fell in his bed. Squirtle walked up to Blake's belt pressing Gligars ball before the two pokemon got on the bed and laid with Blake.

[Can't really do much in regards to Blake's scenario... Going with NPC interactions]

Terra and Lucario sat on the bed side by side. There was a door that would lead to Blake's room beside the bed, but Terra had it locked so that he wouldn't be capable of just barging in. "He's reckless... Has little skill, and yet, he wants to act like some god-like hero," she told Lucario. "I cannot blame his behavior; it is a good trait to help others... But yes, he needs to train and practice, especially in patience and discipline... And timing of when to act and not," her pokemon responded, the two discussing about potential ways to teach Blake something along their journey.
