Law
"The island you're headed to should do fine, not too many residence to be bothered by him or to bother him for that matter." I look out my window towards my garden.
"Behind my garden is my private hangar, it just holds my jet and few spare parts of the like. My pilot, Riley, should be able to help you out. I'll give him a call." I sigh while taking a glance at the pokeball I had given Robin. "Just be careful with it, of course." I say pointing a pen at it.
After a brief call I looked at Robin. "He'll be ready in a few hours, I'd encourage you not to leave the manor gates while you're here. The police force seem to be caught up on capturing you. I've been spotting their Natu all over the garden and windowsills."
I look at him and give him a faint glare, as if to convey a message without words. "Until then, I have to finish writing my formal apology so I don't get lampooned for helping a 'criminal'." I say tapping my paper. --(Feel free to timeskip if you'd like to cut to the plane, or just continue in the manor.)--

It was wrong to assume the police would just let me go. I would leave in the cover of night, though the Natu would see me still. They now saw me as a criminal, it had been reported that I was though I had managed to refrain myself from listening to the radio so far. That would have to wait for the plane trip. I nodded and gave Law a thankful smile. We hadn’t met on the best of terms the first time round but he had done a lot for me on this one. I owed him.
(Timeskip to before the plane.)
I waited with Carl for Riley to collect us. We had spent the day in relative silence. He had rested his bruised head and I pondered what lay within the pokeball. Neither of us really felt better for that but we didn’t have much else to do. How would Law’s daughter stow aboard this time? What did she mean by therebeing no confusion this time round?

The large dark jet sat perfectly centered in the terminal. The only other thing of interest is another small red plane as well as a few mechanics working to fix one of its wings.
"Hiya Robin Oak, and company." A voice says entering from a small door in the side of the building. "Name's Riley." The man looked to not be too much older than Robin but his face looked younger. Freckles dotted his darker skin. He was fast, what seemed to be a mere walk at first had Riley nearly all the way to Robin in less than a few seconds. He removed his dusty gloves and launched his hand out to meet Robin's with enthusiasm.
"Pleasure to meet you, really, you're an inspiration to a lot of people." He bantered quickly but very clearly. His voice had punch, it left an impression.
Without really waiting for a response he turned around. "We about ready back there?"
A Croconaw wearing a set of circular sunglasses bounded round the corner with a box clearly a bit too big for him. He barked a response and leaped into the back of the jet with a box. "Well, Baron seems about ready to hit the clouds, we gonna get going?"
Lily approached from behind. "Riley, I'm going too. Father gave me permission." She said calmly before boarding before Robin. Riley thought for a moment and glanced at Robin.
"Hop on Robin and what was your name again, friend?"
Again without waiting for response he bounded into the cockpit with ease.
"Let's go already, I feel like we've been here forever."

I exchanged a quick glance with Carl and hopped aboard behind our new captain and Lilly. This was sure to be an adventure. Carl came on after, he looked a little more miffed by the encounter, probably unsure when he was supposed to answer the question.
I found myself a seat and looked around the jet. I remembered the last time we came aboard with the others. Lucario had made sure to secure himself in the back of the cabin so that he wouldn’t have to look down. What was that Lucario up to at the moment? It had earned a break, a long one.
——— Carl
Unlike Robin I made way to the cockpit. My head still ached quite a bit but I couldn’t let the others see that. They’d have me off the jet and away from the adventure. That wasn’t happening. “My names Carl,” I said popping my head into the cockpit.

I sit staring into the back of a seat in deep thought for a moment then notice Robin thinking as well. "What are you thinking about over there, bud?" I ask half-jeeringly. "Can't help but notice your sulky face."
"Second thoughts?" I sneered. I knew it couldn't be in all honesty. Robin was far too deep into this mess to be a coward.
-
Riley
"Pleasure, man. I'm Riley" I say reaching my arm out to him. "Take a seat here, you're co-pilot now, congrats, just don't tell Baron." Without missing a beat I reach for the overhead. "Attention passenger aboard the St. Riley Express Airline, please keep seat-belts on during liftoff unless you wanna fall. Now let's get it." With that I took off the ground and hit the skies. I picked up the overhead mouthpiece once more. "Twenty minutes until our halfway point, we'll make a stop at Lily's requested location before returning the sky."

I turned to her. Did she think I wanted to turn back? “No, just thinking. It’s weird how easily the authorities turned on me. Though I don’t know how the general public feel.” She seemed to like her little jabs, did she get them from her father? “Say, where are we stopping off?”
———— Carl
Being a co-pilot was a completely new experience, though I didn’t really have to do much with Riley at the helm. Questions rattled out of my mouth. “How long have you been working for Law? How do you get a pilot’s license? What’s the furthest you’ve travelled?” I liked planes.

"Most of the people look up to you, but there is civil unrest with the idea of pokemon training all of a sudden because of the champion disappearances along with a spike in pokemon-related crimes." I sigh. "You've been sucked into it, and if I had to make an educated guess it's probably on purpose seeing as you're a champion and all."
I leaned back in my chair, I was just waiting for the plane to land so I could go to the field.
Riley
As fast as the questions poured in I answered them with enthusiasm, conversation is cool but conversation about your passion is cooler. "I've been his pilot since two years ago, but I used to be a regular old groundskeeper here even before that. I started working for Master Law when I was only twelve." I smiled for a moment then continued. "Pilot's license is easier than it looks, just a lot of paperwork and on-hand experience." I say with a grin. "And as far as the farthest I've ever gone..."
"Probably, here." I say. "I'm from Sinnoh."

It seemed like people were blaming the act of Pokémon training for the actions of a few criminals. Of course I would be brought into this. I was one of the more well known Pokémon trainers. “That and at least two previous champions are in charge of the new Team Rocket. I guess it isn’t a good look for me right now. Maybe your dad made the right decision in leaving. It’s going to be harder to be a champion now, but someone has to do it.”
———— Carl
I nodded in enthusiasm as he answered each of my questions. I would have to look into the flying business at some point. Flying a Pokémon was something but you didn’t have to do any of the work. “That’s proper cool. Sorry, don’t mean to ask so many questions. It’s just first time. I’ve only been to Sinnoh briefly, I’m from Johto myself.”

"Johto? That's where Baron is from." I say smiling while thinking of my Croconaw.
A small red bulb began to hum lightly. "Look at that." I picked up the mouthpiece once more.
"Attention passengers aboard the St. Riley Express Airline, we will be arriving shortly at Dandelion Island." I announce proudly.
As I brought the plane down into a clear opening I noticed a herd of pokemon running a short ways off into the distance. They were really fast too, on two legs. - The plane came to a soft landing into the field and Baron quickly ran to the door and flung the hatch open for the passengers aboard. He stood to the side of the door saluting.

Riley Scott
Age:
24

Baron (Croconaw)
Bio:
Raised in a large family of three brothers and a sister, as well as living with both parents and his grandmother, Riley always had someone to chat with. Although Riley still retains all his chattiness, spending all his young years with his family it made him learn to savor the quiet moments where he could read or study about his passions. Riley was and still is very ambitious, he's always willing to learn something new, even if it takes a lot of learning and hard-work. He was fairly young when he started working for Law, his father was a good friend of Law's and Law needed someone to take care of his lawn in Sinnoh while he away. Riley lived on the property over the spring and summer. He slowly migrated to simply living in the groundskeeper' quarters and unofficially and later officially became a permanent resident. Riley found himself loving the idea of flying one day and simply couldn't get it out of his head, so he took to studying planes, and then pilots, and then how to become a pilot. It took a long time of hard work, but years later he found himself an official pilot.
Current Location/Region:
Dandelion Island, Sinnoh
Trainer Type: Breeder
Nickname(If any):
Baron
Gender:
Male
Species:
Croconaw
Age:
Fairly Young
Bio:
Baron only recently found Riley during a visit to Law's Johto manor. Baron has always loved the idea of flying since he was a little Totodile. He is fully committed to being a loyal crew member of the St. Riley Express.
Current Location/Region:
Dandelion Island, Sinnoh

I stuck to the cockpit for a moment. “Dandelion Island? We’re here because of Lilly right? I’ve never heard of it to be honest, though like I said I haven’t been in this neck of the woods all that often.”
———— Robin
I stood up and smiled at the Croconaw saluting us. I saluted in response as I passed him by and exited the plane. “Lilly, is this where you wanted to get to? Why are we here?” I asked. Lilly obviously had a reason for wanting to come all this way. We were in Sinnoh now, or at least in that area, I had noticed that on the monitor. But I hadn’t been to this island before.

"She's never told me why she likes it here so much." I tell Carl. "Then again I've never asked." "She just likes to come to this island to think and I take the time to explore all the abandoned mines scattered around. Lays to the idea that this used to be a mining island but there are no buildings to support that theory." I shrug. "Somethings are just better left as mysteries I find."
Lily
"We'll be leaving soon." I say in response as I begin to walk off. "We'll just be a bit."
I headed down the path I knew very well, it led to my meadow. The place where my parents used to take me when I was a girl.

I watch her go unsure of whether or not I should follow her. She had some business to conduct here but maybe that business wasn’t for me to interfere in. I had interfered in quite a bit more than I should have in recent times. “Alright. I’ll stick around here, unless you need me!” I called after her, unsure if she had heard me or not.
———— Carl
“And no one else lives around here? Strange but I agree, there are so many mysteries in this world. It would be no fun if we knew the answer to them all. Though, Robin would disagree of course. He never was one for being kept in the dark.”

Riley
I smile. "Wanna join Baron and I for a walk? We can normally circle the island at least once, you can grab Robin too if you'd like. I doubt Lily took him to her garden." I stretch and begin walking off towards a tree where I had left a gnarled branch that I used as a hiking stick.
"Not that big of an island, but it's a walk." I say with a smile. Baron quickly ran up beside me with his pilot's cap flapping in the wind.

I nod. “A walk will do me good I think. Robin too. Been awhile since either of us have had some time undisturbed by conflict.” I usher Robin over but he just stared toward the vast ocean. Alright, if that’s what he wanted. I jogged to catch up with Riley.

I shake my head. "Another deep thinker." I said jokingly before getting in one last good stretch. "Okay, if you're ready to hit the trail." I start hiking at a pace easy for anyone to keep up with at first, since Baron was a little stouter of a pokemon I had to keep my pace similar to his.
I look at Carl. "I tend to see some really cool pokemon out here. Humans don't come here too often so most pokemon don't run or attack us." As if on cue as we passed a large fallen tree, a Snorlax sleeping peacefully in a meadow appeared before our eyes.

I smile at the Snorlax. It was weird. I hadn’t considered how few places were left mostly untouched by humans. Maybe the more remote areas of any given region but this wasn’t remote, just isolated. “Wow. I haven’t seen in a Snorlax up this close in some time. What else does this island have?” We had to keep Team Rocket away from this place.

"I've seen all sorts of pokemon walking this trail." I answer. "That Snorlax has been there since we first start walking the trail." I pull out a fist-sized berry. "I feed him if he's awake, looks like he's living up to his name."
"Back to your question though, I see a lot of normal type pokemon, but it's pretty diverse. Saw a Charizard here last time now that I think about it, big one too." Suddenly, a loud rumbling shook the ground and I fell to my knee to keep balance. I looked around to see what was happening but the trees were too thick.

Unlike Riley I fell to the floor grazing my knee. I looked around as well but could not see through the trees either. “That’s just another wild Pokémon right? Something like a Nidoking or a Rhyperior causing a bit of mischief.” It made sense to me but Riley had been here more, he would know.

I shook my head confused. "I got no clue!" I yelled back. Baron looked uneasy, maybe pokemon were behind this after all.
"Be careful!" I yelled instinctively as a large shadow rushed right in between us. It was incredibly fast and the wind it produced while passing nearly knocked me over. I frantically looked up reflexively to see a large prehistoric pokemon. "What is that thing?" I asked when suddenly another gust of powerful wind and before I knew it there were hundreds of rock-headed pokemon charging at us heads forward. -- The island had a deep low rumble stretching throughout the entire island. As if a constant earthquake was roaming throughout the island. Suddenly. "Help!" A shrill scream.

I saw the shadow, I saw the creatures. They were coming right for us. We had to get out. This was an old mining island, that meant mine shafts. We couldn’t stay here, we had to get down. I sent out Rhyperior and jump into it’s arms. “Climb aboard!” I yelled to Baron and Riley. The large Pokémon above us would have to wait. We needed out. “We’re going down.”
———— Robin
I stumbled to the floor as the ground shook across the island. “What was that?” I asked to no one. Then I heard the cry. “Lilly.” I had to get to her. She needed help. I rose to my feet and ran in the direction she had left in. The ground continued to shake. “Come on our Pidgeot!” The flier flew out of her ball and picked me up. At least up here I could both search and move.

"Right!" I said scrambling on board and yanking up my hefty pokemon behind me. I kept my head down. "What are these? Like look prehistoric." I admittedly didn't come across rare pokemon too often. I have never seen any fabled pokemon of legend or insane prehistoric pokemon either. I admired their dark blue head-caps. They were definitely prehistoric pokemon. They all looked nervous, some kept running but others frantically paced around, looking for a hiding spot it seemed.
Lily
"Robin, help!" I cried out in fear. Looming before me stood an enormous Tyrantrum, dark blue in color. Why was this giant beast in my garden? I began running from the giant pokemon and threw out Vibrava for help.
"Vibrava, use Boomburst!" I shout. I see my pokemon send out his attack. The attack slammed into the side of the Tyrantrum but it only seemed to slow it down slightly.

“Some kind of fossil Pokémon. Either way, it can’t be safe up here with those lot running around in such a frenzy.” I yelled over the noise. “Rhyperior, dig.” My Pokémon responded with a roar and hurtled below. I held on tight, we were safe as long as were attached to Rhyperior. Hopefully there was some mineshaft below us, though that could introduce a whole new problem.
———— Robin
Pidgeot raced towards the sound of Lilly’s yells. We saw the resulting blast of the Vibrava’s Boomburst. And we saw the Tyrantrum. She was in trouble.
“Come on Pidgeot. Whirlwind.” We just wanted to knock the Pokémon back for now.

(Sorry, didn't mean to dip off again. Back into training.)
As the Rhyperior began to travel quickly, along the path past a small stretch of forest, an old mine-shaft sitting into a small outface of one of the small mountains became visible. It seemed empty aside from a few of the fossil pokemon heading in for sanctuary. When suddenly a pokemon of the same species as the stampede rammed his head into the hard body of Carl's pokemon. Riley stumbled and slid down the side of Rhyperior down into a large ditch in the ground.
Noticing this, Baron leaped after his friend to retrieve him but ultimately only ended up falling the same way and tumbling down fairly roughly.
Without letting up the pokemon smashed his head into the Rhyperior. At closer inspection, this pokemon has a red skullcap instead of blue like the others. It was larger too, by nearly two feet. -- Lily
I saw a shadow form and quickly I felt a gust of wind go overhead. I looked up to see Robin's Pidgeot. I looked to see if he was on it, there was no time.
"Down here!" I screamed throwing my arms up. I could see Vibrava noticing his reinforcements. He followed suit with a Whirlwind of his own knocking the Tyrantrum backwards. It seemed unfazed but momentarily stalled.

Rhyperior groaned as the red headed Pokémon bashed it. I almost lost my grip but my Pokémon pushed me up onto its shoulders. My new friends had fallen off already, we needed to get to them. But there were too many of these things. “Rhyperior we have to go back!" I cried. “We have to get them." It groaned again and swung its arm out against the Pokémon that had hit it. Then roared and went back for our friends. I held on for my life.
———— Robin
I noticed the stalled Tyrantum and had Pidgeot swoop down for Lilly. I extended a hand for her as we went by. “Grab on!"
