Gale's face lit up, if this guy wasn't lying this could be the story of the century!...Or the decade, probably the decade. He looked at his Lucario. Then back at Satoshi. What did he mean he was "untrained"? So many questions. "Well, it's an honor to meet you. I should've recognized the hat, although now with your Dad being so famous, everyone wears the same style. You do sort of look like him though. Also, what happened? Aaron kidnapped you, right? I was studying Aaron before I came here. A bug-catcher extraordinaire that guy. And why us? Why choose us?" *Poke* *Poke* Gale was interrupted by Lucario who gave him a stern look. Right, he should calm down first. Gale gathered himself, petted Lucario on the head, and looked back at Satoshi "Ahem. Well, then, Satoshi..I don't suppose you might give us a little explanation of what exactly is going on?" "Reports of my kidnapping were greatly exaggerated. I don't even know how such a ridiculous rumor got started. That battle was on national television, when would he have time to kidnap me? If he did heads would've rolled. Four of the strongest Trainers in the world are in my family. My dad obviously, my mother Dawn Ketchum the greatest Pokémon Coordinator in the world and she can give dad a run for his money, my Great Uncle Blue the Kanto Champion, my Grandfather Red, who whlie now retired, held the title Pokémon Mater before my father, hell they invented the title for him. If I had been kidnapped someone would've paid dearly, the fact that they were all so calm should've said something. I chose to drop out of the public eye. I've been traveling across the regions foiling Iga ninja takeover plots with Inara, even back in Sinnoh. As a bonus we stopped Team Flare in Kalos while we were there. I've been working and training in secret, still collecting Badges though, even if I don't participate in the Leagues. I'm not ready yet. As for what's going on exactly. It's best to let Inara explain. She knows the Iga better than anyone, after all she's one of them. Ladies and gentlemen allow me to introduce Inara Iga, kunoichi and youngest child of the head of the Iga clan. Please direct all ninja related questions to her." |

Inara was a visibly a little bit nervous at the talk of the twins wanting a bit of vengance, of course it was a justified. Though it was nothing compared to a few seconds later as she stares in shock at Satoshi's abrupt introduction. That wasn't how they agreed to introduce her at all and it made her very uncomfortable now that it was all out. She takes a second to muster her strength before speaking. She looked like anything but a trained shinobi at this point, stammering and failing to make eye contact.
"Erm...yes, I'm an Iga. The heir actually, but nobody wants this stopped more than me. Some of these people were my friends amd family, that they were ordered to do this...that someone I knew personally could order this- they can't get away with that and I'm putting my life on the line to stop them for good." she promises. She even sounded 100% genuine but everyone there knew what an Iga clan ninja was capable of. "How they set the fire was through an ancient ninja art, bombing tactics used for razing villages and enemy camps in olden times. It was practiced by a few in the clan but they hadn't used it in ages, it was a forbidden technique...till today anyways" she frowns. At the sound of the twins wanting to speak about the note, she breaks off, attempting to be friendly despite the news that hit.
"Actually, when I dropped the note for you two I remember it clearly...I was low on paper at the time, and even more so pressed for time. I thought one would do for the both of you..." she says, blushing on top of being scared.

When the fires hit, she did nothing but hide and run around desperately. But something she did have was great empathy. And when Inara was introduced as an Iga ninja, Hazel could tell she was uncomfortable. "Hey, Inara, don't worry about who your family is," Hazel said, trying to be supportive, "Their actions aren't yours. I know it's probably hard fighting against your family and friends; but we're all here for the same reason. Whatever brought you here won't change the fact that we're in this together now." |

Kodi was a little shocked by the new comers outburst at him. He wasn't aware where the fire started being inside of the stupid hole. He would keep quite as all of these different trainers were speaking. Always being shy around people Kodi isn't use to speaking in big groups of people. Specially around girls, Pokémon he could talk with any day of the week with easy, but with people not so much. Kodi was excited to year Satoshi's mother was Dawn he always looked up to her.
Kodi was more than willing to stick up against the ninja clan. He knew all along he couldn't save Pokemon all by himself. He was surprised Inara was heir to the evil ninja's throne but he admired her for sticking up for what's right. He would nod as Hazel would try to make her feel better. "Um... Inara I think that's brave... You're brave.." Kodi said looking down at the ground, tapping his foot softly on the ground his nervous habit. His Pokemon Teddy would jump down from his shoulder and then walk over to her hugging Inara's leg.
"Teddy!" Kodi said, "Sorry sorry..."

"Thank goodness people weren't hurt, though I see my pokemon's water attack has you shaken. I'm sorry, I thought I'd instructed her to aim for the treetops, not the trainers! Thank you all for helping out my sister and I. Now that things are alright, I think we should be heading back home now. It seems like this note was nothing but a sick joke," he remarked, fumbling around to pull it out from his pocket. "Hm, I think I lost it... the pleasures of flying, I suppose. Well, if there's nothing else, it's been a pleasure." Tommy proceeded to dry himself off now that his clothes were soaked, "It's fine, it's fine. *cough* At least they fire is gone. That's what was important." After clearing his face of the water he was finally able to get a good look at the group, especially the man talking to him. "Oh wow...that reminds me. Your Dragonair is lovely! I wasn't able to get a good look earlier on the account of the fire but if you'll let me I'd love to pet her," Tommy said with a smile. "Note?" Inara cuts in, looking over to Vincent. She meanwhile nods at Jacob before trying to get everyone's attention. "That's my handwriting, and sir it's clearly the furthest thing from a joke if you look around you...also no, none of us are Gym Leaders. I doubt any of you are even on the Iga's radar before today, we were counting on that" she says, shooting down Hazel's rather optimistic theory- in reality, any high profile trainer in Hoenn that didn't make himself scarce when the Igas made a public takeover would have gotten contacted by the clan in a messy way. "We've been fighting the Iga clan for awhile now, and with a power play like what they've managed to do we need help. You were all sent a note because you might have what it takes to help stop them. The fire proved a bit of that" she says in a soft tone. "Well if these guys are planning to do this again, then I'm glad I came. You can count me and my Pokemon in! Of course...they need to wake up first." |

The last name of Satoshi rang a bell in both the twins in the same moment; an effect of being siblings and twins.
"You're the son of Ash?!" Victoria shot, while at the exact same time, Vincent spoke,
"You're the son of Dawn?!"
Questions and comments ran through their minds at the speed of light. However, recognizing that there was a time and place for everything, they suppressed their inquiries for the moment, and only for the moment. As Satoshi puts Inara on the spot, their eyes naturally fall on the ninja as she spoke. They had to respect her wanting to side with her beliefs despite her family ties. As she spoke, they'd exchange glances and nod in approval, even over the young Hazel's encouragement. Regarding Inara's final comment... Vincent and Victoria couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Heh, another draw, bro."
"Looks like it, sis. But don't worry. I sense plenty of .. opportunities in the future "
"Don't I know it," the trainer replied to her brother's challenge. She then turned to Satoshi with a grin, likely doing a poor job at concealing her eagerness. "So, Satoshi. Son of Ash... how many badges do you have? Did your dad ever teach you anything to help you on your path? Maybe you could help me out--you know, with some tips?" Victoria knew who Ash Ketchum was; everyone did. She felt like just being in the same vicinity as he made her better.
Vincent faced Tommy and nodded. "Ah, you noticed my Dragonair's beauty! I feed my pokemon a highly nutritious--and delicious, if I say so myself--diet. You can see it in the shine of my Dragonair's scales, or the intensity of my Charizard's flame."
Charizard, being right there with them all, gave a satisfied growl as his tail flicked. "Dragonair!" He called out, implying that it was indeed okay for Tommy to give her his attention.

Inara was overwhelmed by the large amount of trust she had gotten so far. While not everyone said their peace, she relaxes significantly and lets her guard down.
"Thanks...all of you for accepting me" she says before kneeling down to pet the rogue Teddiursa. "He's pretty friendly..." she says with a warm smile. Though they should probably head out soon, the attention Satoshi was getting allowed her to step back a bit for a break and calm herself further. If anyone had any questions Iga related, she was still in sight to ask.

"For the love of all Pokemon," Hazel said, half way mumbling, before addressing Inara more directly again, "That's why I'm here. I figure that having someone who knows our enemy will be helpful. Especially when they're capable of all of this, senseless destruction. I don't think any of us could even begin to guess how to combat them."

Yeah I am the son of Ash and Dawn, for the record I have 32 badges and I learned from both my parents. If you want to know what they taught me I suppose, I could show you, with a batle." He said to the girl. He was afraid he had another fangirl in the making with this one, showing his skill would only make that worse but it had been so long since he had a bttle just for fun that he had to do it. "I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name." |

"Well, I wont sugar coat it- they will do anything to win a battle. This includes cutting out the middleman and attacking the trainer" she explains, making sure they understand that there's no such thing as a fair fight when it comes to an Iga clan member. "They're trained to use pokemon as an extension of their other teachings and while they're far from unstoppable in a pokemon battle, if it comes to a fight with them you have to keep an eye on the trainer as much as you do their pokemon lest you get something sharp lodged in your back. That's one of the least gruesome tactics they might try and enact..." |

Jacob stood by under the shade of a large try next to the roadside. He was leaning up against a tree with his arms crossed until he heard that last part. "So these guys not only attack without warning but will also attack us trainers as well? In that case we can fight fire with fire. I've never wanted to use a pokemon against a human but always wondered what the outcome may be like."

"So these guys not only attack without warning but will also attack us trainers as well? In that case we can fight fire with fire. I've never wanted to use a pokemon against a human but always wondered what the outcome may be like." Inara frowns at the new voice coming in on the situation. She swallows any remaining thought on the Igas as family she still had and spoke back. His suggestion was brutish, but that might be what they need to do to come out victorious. Of course she also made it clear aiming at a ninja might not be so simple. "A sound idea on paper, but you have to be careful when using force against one whose style is based on redirecting it. Take my pikachu for example" she says, tapping her on the head to wake it up. It gives a loud 'PIKA' before being ordered to show off a speedy quick attack to move between trees and out of sight. "Fast with some mean electric attacks. If you attack me, I'm as vulnerable as any human but my specialty is in evading and escaping so if you were to somehow corner me in the first place, well I'll gladly make a chase out of it if need be. Focus too much on me and my Pikachu..." she says as Pikachu peacefully lands in a tree top above Jacob. "...will be in perfect position for a very indiscriminate discharge attack on whoever's in range, human and pokemon alike". Of course the Pikachu peacefully drops a nearby berry from the tree as a sign of peace after she finishes her demonstration, cooly explaining "Misdirection is lesson one". |

Gale completely ignored the whole Inara part of Satoshi's mini-speech. He came to Hoenn for one reason only, and that was to get the follow up on this story. Gale got out his pen and notepad and began to scribble.
"Kidnapping false...big ego...really big ego...Traveled Kalos with girl ninja...Stopped team Galactic knock offs.."
*Poke* *Poke* Aw damn it, Lucario what now?
Gale looked down at his Lucario, who motioned towards Inara, she seemed kind of distressed, but then relieved that the kids trusted her. Wait, a bunch of people here are soaking wet, that's not good. Gale reached back into his bag, and threw out Arcanine's pokeball.
"Arcky, go." Gale said. Arcanine popped out of his ball, and took a nice stretch. Looking around, he sniffed the air, was content, and sat down.
He naturally gave off heat though, so everyone that was wet would begin to dry up, at least a little bit.
Gale turned to Inara.
"Well...Alright then, Miss. Iga, you mind telling exactly why you summoned us. While you're there you might as well tell us why you'd turn against your own clan, give the fact that you are the heir."

He called out, implying that it was indeed okay for Tommy to give her his attention. "Oh man, thanks!" said the excited Tommy, petting Dragonair and taking note of it's fine coat. This trainer knew what he was doing. "Always had an appreciation for those who took care of their Pokemon so flawlessly. I can see these two are in fine hands." Tommy scratched Charizard on the belly. "Well, I wont sugar coat it- they will do anything to win a battle. This includes cutting out the middleman and attacking the trainer" she explains, making sure they understand that there's no such thing as a fair fight when it comes to an Iga clan member.

How are we going to fight someone trained to kill people when our Pokemon are busy battling? They obviously don't play by any rules but they must have some kind of honor, or code, or even some damn respect, you know? "Arcky, go." Gale said. Arcanine popped out of his ball, and took a nice stretch. Looking around, he sniffed the air, was content, and sat down. He naturally gave off heat though, so everyone that was wet would begin to dry up, at least a little bit. "Arcky!? Arcky!? Oh my Arceus, that is an adorable name for him!" said Tommy, getting closer to Arcanine to help dry off. "Never seen one up close before. I love it!" |

Maybe if we have time you can teach me the basics of what you know. It could come in handy in the coming days I feel." Giving a slight smile Jacob walked a little closer to the pikachu offering his hand. "So Inara correct? I'm also wondering why you would be willing to go against your own clan." |
