The Collector

"Well, maybe it was simply closed down," Xander replied to Myukou as Ivana entered after the Pikachu/Eevee.

The Pikachu-Vulpix shook his head when he heard this. "It wasn't just a simple close now," he said to Xander.

"Well then what was it?" Xander asked curiously.

"WEll it's a long story," the Pikachu-Vulpix said while sighing. It was clear from his actions that he didn't like the subject and it wasn't something he wanted to talk about this. The Raichu also didn't want to talk about it and quickly changed the subject, "So how about some ideas on how to get fragments of orbs."

"All we know so far is to find, befriend them, and get them to come with us," Xander admitted. Ivana spotted the machine and quickly approached it, checking it out.

"I see," the RAichu said again before trying to hide what she was working on yet again.

"Let her look at it. She could probably help build it faster," Xander requested of the Raichu.

"I doubt it," the Raichu said sneeringly. She didn't want anyone to see her machine.

Xander chuckled and pulled out the location device and asked, "Well she built enough of these for our entire group in a matter of seconds," Xander informed.

The Raichu looks at them, "Wow. Though it's not like I'd need any of them. I have my own powers."

"My point being, she was able to build these out of the scraps Hunter had brought without even looking at the original device. She's a highly skilled mechanic and could help with whatever you're trying to make," he replied.

"That's true," the Raichu said. She sighed and looked Ivana over. She gave her the device, saying, "Here" in an annoyed like tone. Suddenly after she did that part of one of the walls exploded and a bunch of pokemon in blue shirts came into the room. There were 4 of them. "Give us what we want!" the one in the front, a Zangoose said.

(want to play as 1 or 2 of them?)

(Sure.)

The one on the right, also a Zangoose, was carrying a device that was possibly used to blow the large hole in the wall, something like a cigarette was held between his teeth, though it wasn't lit.

Xander quickly prepared a Focus Blast and threw the powerful attack at the Zangoose the instant he had stopped talking.

Ivana remained rather calm and looked over the device. She set it on the ground, rearranged a few parts, and switched it on. "There you go," she finally said once she was done, handing it back to the Raichu.

The Zangoose across dodged the attack, and charged at Xander quickly. He provided an uppercut going in the direction of his jaw. Another one an Arbok joined in at Xander and tried to coil itself around Xander's body.
The Raichu inspected the item and then took it from Ivana. "Thanks...." she said going up and storing the item in a safekeep. Salyu watched Xander and saw these attacks she sent a swift at all of the pokemon.

As the two Pokemon came after him, Xander just smirked and sent them both flying into their team with a very powerful aura pulse.

The two pokemon went flying into their own two team members and growled at Xander. The leader Zangoose glared at Xander and asked, "Who are you!?"

"The name's Xander," he greeted with a confident smirk.

"Well Xander," the Zangoose started, "Get the @$#% out of here and hand over what we want!" The rest of his team preceded to growl and glare at Xander.

"No," Xander simply refused with a shrug.

"And why not!?" the Zangoose asked; his voice filled up with rage.

"Because I don't want to," Xander answered simply. He clearly wasn't intimidated by the Zangoose' rage or the fact that he was pretty much outnumbered.

"So I'm guessing you're part of the mafia too then," the Zangoose said growling more.

"Mafia? Me? Nah, I could never pull of their Italian accent," Xander replied rather casually. "Plus, suits aren't really my thing," he added.

The team in blue giggled a bit while Salyu, Myukou, Posachu, the Raichu and the mix all looked a bit embarressed at what Xander said. The lead Xangoose hit his hand on his head and sighed. "It has nothing to do with that! And if you aren't why do you refuse to give him up!?"

"Because I simply don't want to. Goodness, are you hard of hearing, sir?" Xander replied.
