Jorrin burst into the Jewelry store just as the power went out. He had a loaded Uzi in either hand. "Okay this is going to go nice and simple." He said coolly "You're going to handover all of your silver." The cashier who had his hands up blinked "What?" "You heard me I want every bit of sterling silver you have in this place." He had already done this to three jewelry shops after he had decided that there wasn't enough in the first one. "O-okay." The Cashier scrambled to get the items. He brought them to Jorrin who tossed a bag. "Put them in there." He commanded. The cashier did so. "I'm sorry for the inconvenience and have a nice day." Jorrin said. He grabbed the bag and bolted away down the street and back to Saffron city. He made it there easily and to Sabrina's Gym. "Sup' Z?" He inquired. Z shrugged then moved away from the door. Jorrin walked in. Inside was what only could be described as a palace with red velvet comfortable looking furniture and amazing tapestries that appeared to be moving. In the center it looked like a large table had been set up. Around the gym physics were in meditation or yoga stances. "Welcome Jorrin what took so long?" Asked Sabrina. She was sitting at the head of the table Jokah sat in the seat directly to the left of her. Officer Jenny it looked like was sleeping off the dart on one of the large couches. Several other people sat around the table focusing on a series of maps covered in figurines. "Come sit," Sabrina gestured to the seat next to her on the right, "These are maps of the cities and these are various concerned citizens who wish to defend their homes." Jorrin glanced around "Really? I assumed this was a table top role playing session and these guys were just really serious about the game." Jorrin said, A woman glared at him "Are lives are at stake!" She exclaimed, Jorrin stared at her "Really? Are you absolutely positive?" He asked sarcastically, "Enough Sakura, different people have different ways of coping." Sabrina said "Now," She turned to him "I assume you got the silver." Jorrin nodded "Enough to slaughter a whole tribe of werewolves and their mothers." One of the men at the table snorted "I don't however know where to take them to be smelted." "That would be the metal working shop, I'll have them teleported their directly." Sabrina turned and Jorrin reflected how weird it was to talk to someone who absolutely reused to communicate verbally and instead focused on direct telepathy. An Alakazam walked up to him and held out its hand. Jorrin handed it the bag and it vanished. "Okay," He turned to the table "I have a Halfling rouge already set up but I need to know a bit more about the world before I commit myself to a long term game." "Enough Jorrin I already told you I don't accept Halflings in my campaign!" Sabrina sounded exasperated. "Excuse me people but we kind of have an apocalypse to deal with." Said the same woman who had snapped at Jorrin "Well so do we after what Jokah's sorcerer did." Sabrina's voice was openly amused. Jokah threw up his hands "How the hell am I supposed to know that wielding the sword of seven stone in the room of sorrows end would do that?" "It doesn't matter we will make sure you remember it for the rest of your hopefully not very short life." Sabrina turned to the map. "Now on to more mundane matters. Anyone got a plan that adds to our odds for survival?"
"He did what?" Commander Hornet stood up. The young corporal in front of her sweated slightly and sat at rigid attention. "H-he said that he was doing it for vengeance Ma'am he also said to remind you what happens if Saffron falls." The young man said nervously. Hornet nodded "Very well you may go Corporal." The Corporal saluted "Y-yes Ma'am thank you Ma'am!" With that he turned and still standing to attention walked out of the room. "Son of a bitch!" Hornet said starting to pace back and forth behind her desk. "You will be sending reinforcements to him of course." Said a figure appearing in the corner. "If I can get the boss to go for it." Hornet said annoyed "Why would he do this? I thought he had more sense!" The speed of her pacing increased slightly. "He sees what will happen if Saffron falls. Perhaps more clearly than you do." Said the figure. "What do you mean? All it means is they have a better foothold against several other cities. "No. If both Saffron and Lavender town fall that means the rest of Kanto is without effective defense. Those are the only two places of focused physic power on this miserable continent. Except of course… The creature." Hornet turned and glared at the figure, "The creature will not help us." She said coldly. "Exactly so we have to defend ourselves no outside influence is going to save us." "Look I understand that you are around four hundred-" Hornet began "two thousand four hundred thirty seven." The figure interjected "-years old but that doesn't mean your omnipotent!" "With or without you I'm going I see what will come and I have to say. None of us will find it pleasant." "How can you possibly know what's going to happen directly before it does?" "It happened once before. In a time that even when I was formed was ancient history. The physic lord will not help us this time for he retreated to the ancient runes he called home and we must stop it at the one place it can be stopped." "Very well." She pushed a couple keys on her computer "I'm calling the boss but he won't like this." Giovanni appeared on the screen several minutes later "Yes captain?" He asked simply. Hornet saluted and then barely taking a breath told him what had happened and what they intended to do. He nodded "Of course your ally is absolutely correct you have my full support in this endeavor." Hornet blinked "Really sir?" Giovanni nodded "The creature's took Lieutenant Indigo as a host… This makes me sad and I make sure people know when I'm… sad." Hornet grimaced slightly at Indigo's name "and besides an apocolypse is bad for buissness which also makes me… sad. What is it you'll be needing?" A dark figure appeared in behind Hornet "If I may sir…" "Go ahead." Giovanni said nodding at the creature "We'll need silver bullets… a lot of silver bullets and of course more men." Giovanni nodded "Of course that is pathetic. Is that it?" He asked. "Well a new dart board might be nice." The figure said after a moments thought.
F Jorrin stared blankly at the map of Saffron in front of him.
The silver he had collected had been made into bullets. But nowhere near enough of them not even with Giovani's assitance.
Sabrina snarled and telepathically smashed an armchair.
"There are too many!" She said the pure physic force behind her words stunning several of the more physically inclined in the room.
"Well Sabrina I'd imagine you'll be able to take out more then your fair share if you keep that attitude." Said Jokah smiling faintly.
Jorrin nodded silently. "This is no joking matter!" Exclaimed Sabrina, Jokah flinched as the pure power behind her words hit him like a ton of recangular building supplies.
"I think it may go to house to house conflict." Said Jorrin "and if that happens we have the addvantage."
Everyone in the room stared at him. "Wards." He said smiling "If Jokah can teach us the proper wards we should be able to use our pokemon to protect the houses." Everyone continued to stare at him.
"Listen!" He said sounding irratated "These are pokemon. Weird, twisted, scary pokemon yes. But still pokemon. Pokemon's main weakness one that humanity has been taking advantage of for thousands of years, is other pokemon." He pointed at the figures representing some of the more prevelent pokemon "We have the physics on the front lines unarmed." He said "But what if we changed things slightly and set them to reloading weapons while their weilders still fight." He using a stick that they had designated as the pointer geustured at the forrests. "Ambush people! Pokemon are brilliant at it. You can't even walk threw tall grass without one of the bastards getting a drop on you."
Sabrina nodded slowly "Thank you Jorrin But we still have the problem of numbers. Even with silver bullets unless you hit the brain or heart they can still keep fighting."
Jorrin grinned "Yes but if physic or hell even ghost or more physically inclined pokemon guide the bullets our kill rate will greatly increase."
"You have us using physics on several fronts." "Yes but this is after all 'physic central' as long as we keep the physics gaurded the weaker ones can load our weapons while the more powerful ones can guide our bullets. I wish they had more weaknesses!"
"Fire." The voice came from the armchair they had stored Officer Jenny.
Everyone turned "What?" Asked Jokah.
Officer Jenny was sitting bolt upright in the chair, "Fire kills them when I fought the first one my Ninetails made short work of it." Jorrin nodded carefully avoiding Officer Jenny's stare,
"Okay then we can have the more powerful fire types working on the front lines we can set traps, a Ninetails or Arcanine should tear threw them."
"Why the more powerful ones up front should'nt they be gaurded more carefully? There are enough low powered fire types keep the 'ghosts' occupied" Asked a man with a nervous twitch and a pair of large eyeglasses.
Jorrin stared at him "No. We don't need to waste the weaker fire types lives. As I said the more powerful pokemon should be directly in combat. The lesser pokemon should be used for defense inside the houses and forest base ambush."
One of the Alakazams gaurding the door stepped forward "Yes Z?" Said Jorrin glancing up
"I will not guide anothers bullet. I wish to engage these fiends on their own ground." Said a powerful voice blasting threw all of their heads.
Jorrin smiled "That's fine. Just should you see them clustering would you mind prehaps displacing a few projectiles?"
Z shrugged. "Good. Now Jokah time is limited we don't need anything but how to draw and activate the wards" Said Sabrina taking charge.
Jokah glanced at her reprochfully "This would be so much easier with a black board." He growled as he began to inscribe sigils on the map with a pen someone had in their pocket.
Sister Abra fealt the 'spirit' inside her grow exited. Around them the creatures pulled began to move.
Several other fallen channelers approached her.
"Is everything ready?" Asked Sister Abra's mouth.
One of the former Channelers nodded mutely "Yes."
Sister Abra's lips moved upwards to reveal sharpened teath.
"Then let us begin."
