Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kofuku felt herself beyond overwhelmed as all the pokemon started to crowd around. Quickly, she darted away when Dark Feather came onto the scene. She was on her way back to Faleen when the chaos hit the party. Wincing at the ear-spliting noise, she stood at attention when one of the elites called the orders. Not caring if Hayes and the other pokemon where there, she marched back to the table and knelt down, yanking out her pikachu. "Gizmo, get to my room and get Hercules and Hiromi; now. I'll be outside with Nina."

The pikachu didn't look to happy considering there was now a loud noise annoying him and he hasn't gotten any cake, but the tone of voice and the rather serious look on Kofuku's face made the little mouse pokemon comply and he quickly dashed out of the room.

Getting up as Gizmo darted off, she ran over to where Nina was and grabed her, then pushed her way through some of the grunts, while muttering appologies, to get to Faleen's side, grabbing her arm. "Hey, you, where's Umbreon and the others?" She was worried about if her friend was well enough for action already.

Jerking her head around to look at who grabbed her, not surprised to see Kofuku. Faleen didn't stop though, having to slow just long enough to reach over and take Kofuku's own arm into her hand, pulling her friend gently to get the other grunt to move along quickly with her. the other moving down to pluck the two Pokeballs from the strap around her thigh, flashing them to Kofuku
"lets not hesitate. come on" she said, tugging Kofuku a little more and hurrying on.

Hoshi nestled obediently into Hayes' arm. She knew he could be trusted. "Terra.."

As the group of Rockets gathered outside they'd find the cause of the alarm wasn't difficult to spot. In fact, it was kind of a mystery as to how the man on the radio had managed not to identify it. Once out the doors everyone would have a clear view of the approaching threat.

It was, without question.... a giant Drapion.

Much too giant.

The massive Pokémon stood at least three stories tall. As it grew closer the sounds of clanking metal and whirring gears echoed around the beast. It wasn't a Pokémon. It was a machine.

As it neared, the mecha's pace slowed until it came to a stop not far from the gathered Rockets. The mechanisms in the legs hissed as its weight settled. This close the fact it was a machine was obvious. The skin had a metallic shine to it and around the corners some of the paint was chipping, no doubt worn away from the desert sand.

TRP stood near the front of the group with Seth, gawking at the device.

Emblazoned on the mecha's head was a large gold G.. and seated atop it was a man dressed in an odd black and white uniform with silver sleeves, white boots and the same gold G on his chest. He had short aqua-colored hair. Though he was quite a distance up, perched on the impressive machine, it was easy to see that he was smiling. "Well.. I can say I didn't expect such a formal greeting. Team Rocket really does know how to roll out the welcome wagon."

Standing next to TRP with his bristling Luxray, Seth stared at the giant Drapion.

...

And he thought some of their mechas were tacky. This guy took it to a whole new level. Still, it was huge and rather imposing. But Seth did recognize the gold G emblazoned on the device. Not to mention the ridiculous haircut the guy had.

"What the hell do you want?!" The elite shouted up towards the giant mecha. "Team Galactic has no place here! Slither back to Sinnoh where you belong!"

Akemi's eyes widened at the sight of the gigantic mechanical Drapion. This meant trouble. Luckily the girl did have all her pokémon with her, for she always kept their balls clipped onto her belt. If it seemed like Rei wouldn't be able to handle it - which was unlikely as she had been concentrating on training the Espeon since its evolution - she would be able to switch without delay.

Her eyes scanned the mecha, and happened upon the gold G on it. How could Team Galactic find them? Kodo was such a remote region, how could they know they were there?!
The man riding the mecha, he looked ridiculous in his peculiar uniform.. and still his presence was intimidating. Very much so.

Rei uttered a hissing sound, its fur bristled as it stared at the contraption and the man that stood on top of it.

Leonard was a little anxious when he saw the giant Drapion moving towards them... but when the Galactic person popped out of the machine, he couldn't help but laugh a little. It's hard to take anyone with a bowl cut and a stupid-looking uniform so seriously. And there was only one of them, while there were... 10 Rockets out here or so? This guy was no threat.

But he was curious as to what he was doing here though. Someone has to have a good reason to cross the ocean and desert to meet with Team Rocket.

"No worries," Hayes told the little legendaries, scanning the crowd for TRP as they came through the main doors and found everyone had come to an abrupt halt. "We'll find her-"

"-later."

Switch nearly ran into the back of Hayes' boots, because the agent had nearly run into the back of someone else.

There was a muffled "Cake."

Brow furrowed, the blond looked up at the unwelcome guest atop his mechanical ride.

"Team Galactiiiiiic!!"

Alphard lifted his head at the shout.

As Zach broke forward and tried to scale the mecha, Hayes' expression shifted to one only describable as 'WTF,' though he kept the hand not holding Hoshi ready with a Pokeball. "..yeah, you two stay with me right now."

TRP would have enough to deal with.
