That first psychic is all that it really takes to knock the koffing off its path of destruction. It froze up, startled, practically choking on its down withheld gasses as it process what just hit it! <W-what are ya doin'? What did I ever do to you, bug boy? Lemme up and outta here!> The koffing was clearly spooked. Any attempt at retaliation did very little, especially when that second psychic just sent the koffing down the tunnel and out of sight like a river stone. Buh bye! After that total, overwhelming wipe out, the koffing fled out of sight, self-confidence devastated. No smoke screen. Only hiding! Only getting away from that crazy bug that just tossed it around with weird psychic powers. What kind of yanma was that anyway?! Why was it able to do that creepy, spooky thing with its mind?! IT HURT. Ready to sound the alarm, the koffing knew that it had to tell everyone of its terrifying experience.

After Koffing's first and only comment, Shinya started glaring at the Poison Gas Pokemon slightly, not caring for the insulting words it spoke towards Yanma and himself. "Bug boy? I hope you're talkin' about me, because Yanma's a girl, ya jerk. And a very pretty one at that." Once those words left her trainer's lips, Yanma started blushing, and her heart started beating even faster than her wings were fluttering. "Awww, boss! You're so sweet, I just can't stand it! Not that I do much standin' to begin with, but ya know what I mean!" The Clear Wing Pokemon giggled with a mixture of happiness and excitement, channeling both of those emotions into her second Psychic attack, which was far more than enough to send Koffing flying down the tunnel in defeat. Once that was done, it was Yanma's turn to gain some new power, feeling herself level up and grow that much closer to evolving. "Yeah, that's right! Beat it, ya scrub! And be sure to tell the other wild Pokemon what just happened to ya! That Team Skull did this to ya!" Shinya yelled at the traumatized Koffing, showing it absolutely no mercy, even now that the battle was over and done with. Additionally, Yanma fluttered right over to her beloved trainer, taking her favorite spot atop his head right away and nuzzling her head against his hair for a few minutes. "Hey, boss. Do ya mind if I stay outside my Pokeball for a bit? Pretty please? It's been so long since we've spent some quality time together and I really wanna cause some more havoc with ya." If Shinya had one weakness, it was this, sighing in defeat before chuckling a bit and proceeding to walk through the underground tunnels in search for new prey. "We both know that I can't say "no" to you, Yanma."OOC: Already well aware of that, but thanks a bunch for the prompt, Pixel. Also, you forgot to increase Yanma's level from 25 to 26 on Shinya's profile page. But don't worry, I already took care of it. Technician powers.

After that adorable conversation between yanma and Shinya, they returned to their travels, avoiding the destruction as they journeyed. After a while, Shinya would fully clear away from the destruction zone and be in the stretches of tunnels that would normally be haunted by questionable figures looking to cause trouble, loitering outside shops with their buddies, eyeing up trainers for a battle. However, it was oddly quiet right now. Empty. Everyone was evacuating or panicked. Certainly some people still remained in the tunnel further down, but right here, it was only gloom and a haze of dust on the air. As he walked, he'd pass by a shop that still smelled faintly of pastries despite being closed. The door was locked and a sign up in the window, but the employees had left. And plastered to the glass was a gulpin. It had smushed its blobby body against the pane and was making hungry noises. <I smell tasty foooooood.> A [LV 24] Gulpin looking for a snack

If Shinya and Yanma were being totally honest, the two of them were actually pretty disappointed when they entered this new expanse of tunnels. After everything they had heard about Goldenrod City, especially its seedy underbelly, the Bug type duo was expecting at least a few confrontations with some lowlife punks looking for a good street brawl. Unfortunately, after whatever disaster had befallen the underground tunnels, said tunnels were mostly deserted. As soon as that reality came crashing down on them, Yanma let out a heavy sigh. "UGH!...Boss, I'm bored. I thought this city would be more exciting, but it looks like all the humans here are just a bunch of cowards and scrubs after all." The Bug/Flying type complained, still clinging to the top of her trainer's head and not caring one bit if anyone heard her insults or not.
"Tch. You and me both, Yanma. I guess some stuff just doesn't live up to the hype. But whatever. We can still make the most of this. Ya wanna go lootin' or somethin'?" Shinya casually asked Yanma, glancing up at her as he did, but as they walked past a local pastry shop, it looked like someone, or something had already beaten them to the punch. Catching the sight of something moving out of their corners of their eyes, Shinya came to stop, then both he and Yanma glanced through the front window of the bakery. Upon doing so, the two were oddly surprised and unsurprised to see a wild Gulpin, helping itself to some of the scraps that were left behind when the shopkeeper vacated the premises. Not exactly what they were expecting, but definitely better than nothing.
So, after shrugging his shoulders, Shinya bent over, picked up a sizeable piece of debris off of the ground, then chucked it as hard as he could through the store window, shattering the paint of glass instantly. "Oh well. Looks like someone's a glutton for cake and punishment. Yanma, get in there and use Psychic on that squishy scrub." Finally glad to be getting the chance to relieve some of her boredom, Yanma fluttered her wings, left the comfort of Shinya's head, and flew right into the bakery, eyeing the wild Gulpin with her eyes filled with psychic energy. "'Kay! Hopefully there'll still be some cake left after this, because I'm hungry too!" Yanma licked her lips to symbolize her hunger for baked goods and excitement, showing the Stomach Pokemon why it was a big mistake to not be more wary of its surroundings with Team Skull lurking about.

The hungry, hungry gulpin really wasn't a problem at all. Yanma yeeted it out of the way without any real recourse for doing so, leaving Shinya in front of the boarded up pastry shop. It wasn't exactly rich pickings for looting here, unless he wanted snacks. If he were to test the boards, he'd find some of them loose and easy enough to pry away, making it possible for him to slip through an empty window pane and cause mischief. Though it was unlikely he'd find cash...or be caught by the cops. With the recent event drawing power and attention to the scene of the emergency, any alarms that went off in this place probably would be ignored. There were no visible pokemon inside the shop, gorging themselves on sweets, but that wasn't to say nothing had gotten in. Through broken panes covered by loose board or just by nature of being insubstantial, a number of pokemon native to the tunnels could easily get inside for a treat. Even that gulpin could have managed it if it hadn't been so distracted by its own hunger and just plastered itself to a patch of glass and drooled.

In the 18 years he had been with Team Skull, Shinya had done more than his share of looting. And contrary to what most people would say about that, he was quite proud of himself for all of it. The Bug type trainer knew exactly what he was doing, shrugging his shoulders as he decided to go for it. Of course, he knew that it was extremely unlikely that he'd find anything worthwhile inside a boarded-up pastry shop, but Shinya was always in the mood for some mischief and mayhem. So, while Yanma was tossing the wild Gulpin aside with her psychic powers, Shinya walked right up to the wooden boards and proceeded to forcibly pry several of them off of the window, creating a big enough hole for Yanma and himself to get inside. One way or another, Shinya would make this venture worth his time. "Hey, Yanma, let's have some fun. If by some chance the owners of this shop do come back for it someday, they ain't gonna like the "improvements" that Team Skull is gonna make to their place of business." Shinya remarked with a mischievous grin upon his face, snickering a bit as he climbed through the hole he made, then waited on the other side for Yanma to follow his lead. "Oh, fun! I'm right behind ya, boss! Let's wreck up the place and eat some sweets!" The Clear Wing Pokemon happily and eagerly fluttered through the opening after her trainer, then used her psychic powers to light up her eyes and make it easier for the two of them to have a look around. But just like Shinya thought, there wasn't really much to see. Still, if anyone thought for a second that that would be enough to make Team Skull give up and leave, they'd be wrong. Rather, Shinya kept his grin, as he and Yanma took a closer look, checking for anything and everything that looked like it may provide them with some amusement. And of course, they tossed aside or broke anything they came across that they viewed as "boring". Which was most of the abandoned items still inside the bakery. However, they were able to find some forgotten ingredients, including some cans of frosting and a few bags of chocolate chips. "Hey, boss! Lookie here! Yummy!" Yanma smiled with glee, using her psychic powers to pry open the cans and bags, then quickly fluttered over to them and started to chow down, practically shoving her entire head into a single can of vanilla frosting. Seeing this, Shinya couldn't help but chuckle, walking over to his havoc-loving Pokemon, grabbing a handful of chocolate chips, and dumping them all into his mouth. Even if they were stale or expired, the Team Skull grunt had eaten far worse in his life. It would take a lot more than some old chocolate to trigger his gag reflex. "Mmmm...Not bad. It's been a while since I've had anythin' sweet. Apart from the sweet times I've had causin' destruction with you, of course, Yanma." Shinya said to his trusty Bug/Flying type after swallowing his little snack and said Bug/Flying type emerged from the frosting can as soon as she heard such kind words from her beloved trainer. Yanma then licked her mouth clean before speaking, but still had quite a bit of frosting on her face. "I feel the same way, boss. Even this frosting pales in comparison to destroyin' other people's stuff and watchin' 'em cry." Yanma giggled happily at the very thought of it, and while most trainers wouldn't have encouraged that kind of language or behavior, Shinya definitely wasn't like most trainers. "Ya got that right, Yanma. Now, hold still. Ya got frostin' all over your face, girl." The Alolan trainer smiled at his friend, grabbed a small piece of cloth from his pocket, then proceeded to gently clean the frosting off of Yanma's head. This caused Yanma to gasp right away, but she didn't object, holding still and looking up at her trainer with a small blush forming on her face. Although Shinya did pretty much grow up in a dump, he still liked keeping his Pokemon in good condition, both for their health and bragging rights. OOC: Ya did it again, Pixel. Ya said Venom in your last post here, but this is Shinya's thread. lol

Vivian spent most of her time in Goldenrod’s Tunnel causing as much mischief and ruckus as she could. She had no remorse, having been pegged as a bully and miscreant from a young age. Though most of the moments of her past were simply a byproduct of mistaken identity, it never seemed to matter to her teachers in school, which led to her subsequent dropout of her local high school and eventual falling in with the ‘wrong crowd’ within her home region of Alola. What brought her to Johto was a mystery within itself. Perhaps, hunting for the illusive kid that was said to be related to their leader? She would run right past Shinya and his Yanma eating pastries if only for a brief moment, hands full of jewelry she busily stuffed into her pockets. Vivian’s head was tossed back just enough as she laughed maniacally about the chaos she’d managed to cause, that she could still see the path in front of her. Two cops chased after her. One was a rotund sort, who kept pausing along the way to hike his pants up that desperately needed a belt. The other was skinny and kept up well. At least, until Vivian managed to dart down a narrow passage, knocking over several boxes and bins to block the path, then slipped through a large pipe back around to the same pastry. As she popped her head inside of the shop, hands stuffed inside of her pockets, Vivian paused with her jaw dropped nearly to the floor. “Holy sh[--]! Is that you, man?” She asked, shifting her head from one side to the other to ensure that the cops she fled from weren’t still following her. She never thought she’d run across someone within her own crew within the Johto region. It really felt good, and made her heart swell with hope. “Sorry….I’m bad with names, but too cool! I’m Vivian by the way. So uhm…you ain’t weakened too much livin’ ‘round the chumps, are ya? Care to show me what a real battle’s like?” She smirked, plucking a small red-and-white ball out of her pocket. Team Skull Grunt Vivian challenges Shinya! She wants to prove herself and heard rumors that Shinya was the best Skull grunt around! She'll be using her level 27 Trubbish! What will Shinya do? Mod Notes: Vivian's Pokemon:

At just about the same time as Shinya finished cleaning the frosting off of Yanma's head, Vivian stuck her head into the pastry shop and instantly gained the attention of the Bug type duo. At first, Yanma was confused, but then became instantly protective of her stockpile of sweets. "I don't know who you are but stay away from my sweets! The only one I'll share with is the boss! Ya hear me?!" The Clear Wing Pokemon glared at Vivian, fluttering on top of one of the cans of frosting that she had yet to open and devour, fully ready to attack if Vivian made any moves she didn't like. This reaction shouldn't have come as a surprise though, since Yanma joined Team Skull after Shinya came to Johto. As such, she had never met Vivian until now.
Shinya, on the other hand, could never forget the names or faces of even a single member of the only family he had ever known, even if they all did wear the same exact uniform. Still, this came as a shock to the Bug type trainer, as he stared at Vivian in silence for a minute, slowly processing the reality before him. As soon as it finally sunk in, a big new grin appeared on Shinya's face, as he nodded at his friend, comrade, and sister from Alola. "Heck yeah, it's me. The one and only Shinya Stinger. Found and raised by Team Skull, big bro Guzma's younger brother, and Team Skull's future leader. Never thought I'd run into one of my sis' here of all places. It's great to see ya, Vivian. You're lookin' fine as always, I see."
As he said that last part to her, Shinya couldn't help but notice a pearl necklace sticking out of Vivian's right pocket, able to quickly piece together that his fellow Team Skull grunt was up to no good. Not that Shinya really cared at all. In fact, he was so proud of her, keeping his grin and chuckling slightly. He also knew that Vivian had trouble with names, so he was more than happy to re-introduce himself to her too. Truthfully, there wasn't anything Shinya wouldn't do for his precious brothers and sisters of Team Skull. Vivian, much like everyone else, was there when Shinya left for Johto, but it looked as though one of his sisters just couldn't wait for him to return home.
"It's cool, sis. I know how you are. Of course, I haven't forgotten about ya. Or anyone else back home for that matter. I mean, how could I? A lot's happened since comin' here, and I'd love to catch up with ya, but if it's a battle you're lookin' for, then I say bring it on. There's no way I'd ever go soft on ya, and I hope the same can be said about you too." The idea of getting to battle one of his fellow grunts filled Shinya with more joy than he had had in a while, as Yanma fluttered over and landed on his head, having heard all of what was said. "Oh! This is one of your sis', boss?! I'm so sorry I didn't recognize her outfit at first! So, ya need me to battle her for ya?!" Yanma asked with pure excitement, looking down at her trainer from atop his head as she waited for his answer.
However, Shinya grabbed a different Pokeball from his bag, keeping his gaze locked on Vivian as he gave Yanma his response. "Sorry, Yanma, but you're gonna have to sit this one out. Since I'm battlin' one of my sis', I really wanna show her how much progress I've made here in Johto. And I know just the Pokemon for that job." Shinya activated the Pokeball in his grip, and Yanma started to calm down, pouting a little too. "Awww...Okay. But I at least wanna stay out here and watch." Yanma maintained her position on top of Shinya's head, not wanting to miss even a single second of this clash between Team Skull brother and sister.
"That's fine! Just be sure not to blink, Yanma! Now, Vivian, say hello to another blast from the past! Let's go, Scizor!" Shinya tossed the red and white orb in his hand up into the air, and out came the very same Pokemon that Shinya originally received from Guzma as his starter. What was one a Scyther, gifted to him by his big bro, was now a fully evolved and very powerful Pincer Pokemon, Scizor. And as soon as he laid eyes on Vivian, even Scizor found himself in a fit of shock for a moment but was able to quickly regain his composure and razor-sharp focus. "Well, well, well. It seems wonders are truly without end in this world of ours. It's been far too long, Vivian."
Scizor knew that Vivian couldn't understand Pokemon language as Shinya could, but he still did his best to make a good introduction to an old friend, offering her a single bow as well. After that, Shinya, Scizor, and Yanma all watched as Vivian selected her own Pokemon of choice for this battle. Yet another familiar face from their past. "So, it's Trubbish up first, huh?! Sorry about this, but Scizor's got more than just a new, metallic shell in his arsenal! Let's show 'em just how far we've come, Scizor! Use Psycho Cut!" Shinya continued to grin big, eager to get this battle underway. And Scizor shared in his trainer's anticipation, raising his head and channeling Psychic energy into his right pincer. "As you wish, boss! I hope you're ready, Trubbish, because I won't be holding back!"

"Woah, scyther is lookin' dope! Look at those new red-chrome rims on that ride!" Vivian called out when Scizor was called out. "Huh. Well, dang, trubbish doesn't have much of anything for someone with your slick finish, but that doesn't mean I'm down and out. Heh. Time to keep you on your toes, bug boy." Her tone was friendly and teasing, riffing him just a bit in the spirit of a rousing battle. As Shinya called out a move (psycho cut?! CRAZY Man. Scizor could LEARN THAT?), she deftly returned the trubbish and sent out her gumshoos. He endured the hit and shook it off best he could. "Sorry, pal, that I had to pull a switcheroo. But I couldn't just sit there and take it. Now, let's go!" She grinned at him. Her gumshoos shook himself a bit, still a little irritated by getting switched into a hit. Come on, lady, don't do him dirty like that. "Say, tell me, Shinya, where did your pokemon learn a move like that? I don't remember scyther havin' somethin' like psycho cut before."

Shinya grinned proudly after Vivian's reaction, very pleased to be receiving such praise for one of his Pokemon, especially since it came from one of his dear sis'. And although the old saying "Pride cometh before the fall" was quite true, it still got it wrong sometimes, as Vivian would soon see. Truth be told, Shinya saw Vivian's first move coming a mile away, and he knew from all the time he had spent with her that her only other Pokemon was Yungoos. Or rather, it used to be. While the Bug type trainer saw the swap coming, he was surprised when he first laid eyes on Vivian's second Pokemon, remembering very clearly that it was still a Yungoos when he left Po Town to start his journey through Johto. "Well damn. Looks like I'm not the only one with some new and improved looks to show off." Shinya remarked in a carefree and mildly impressed tone of voice, more than capable of handling all the teasing that Vivian sent his way. And fully capable of sending some back her way as well. "So, ya finally evolved your little Yungoos into a Gumshoos, huh? Well, it's about damn time. I was startin' to think that that little guy would never evolve. Course, it probably didn't help that the sun never shines over Po Town. Am I right, sis? Gumshoos?" The Team Skull grunt asked them both some rhetorical questions, then chuckled a little bit afterwards, but only for a few seconds. From there, Scizor landed his first hit on Gumshoos, then he and Shinya stared at their opponents, listening to the female grunt's questions regarding the move they had used. "I know. Pretty cool, right? I had no idea Scizor was capable of somethin' like that until a little after I got here. Scizor learned that move through a TM, and I got that TM from this big mega store here in Johto. I think it's called the Rewards Shop or somethin' like that. Anyway, they sell lots of cool stuff there, includin' a real nice assortment of TMs. But they change 'em up every couple of months, so I doubt you'll find the TM for Psycho Cut there right now. Not that it matters, since neither of your Pokemon can learn it anyway.""Still, I think it's worth checkin' out. Ya might find some useful stuff for yourself there. However, just a head up. Whatever ya do, do NOT try to steal from that place. I tried it once, and it was a big mistake." Shinya lost his grin as he explained this, in favor of a more frustrated and regretful facial expression, continuing his explanation from there. "Believe it or not, the guy who runs that shop has got a real live Zapdos guardin' the place. That stupid bird with its keen eyes, it doesn't miss a thing. No matter how sneaky you are about it. Seriously, sis. Just don't do it." Shinya finished giving his teammate and sister at arms some friendly advice, then took a quick deep breath to regain his composure, getting his grin back in mere seconds. "Anyway, sorry to disappoint ya, sis, but Psycho Cut's not the only new move Scizor gained since we came to Johto. And don't think I've forgotten about your Gumshoos' Fire Fang. Ya were lucky enough to find yourself a Yungoos that was born with it, and that would normally be pretty bad for a Bug/Steel type like Scizor, but I was lucky enough to get my hands on another useful TM once upon a time. Honestly, if ya really wanted to beat me, then ya should've gone with Gumshoos first. If you'd have done that, I might've been in trouble, but I'm afraid it's too late for that now." The green-haired trainer spoke like he was plotting something devious, and having been by his side for so long, Scizor knew exactly what his trainer was getting at, already preparing himself for his next attack. "For what it's worth, Gumshoos, I am truly sorry for these rather unfavorable circumstances. If things had been different, I would've truly enjoyed having a proper battle with you. If you manage to withstand this next attack, then perhaps we still can. If not, then I do hope we will get the chance to meet on the field of battle again someday soon, my friend." Scizor said to the Stakeout Pokemon in a sympathetic tone of voice, lowering his head in an apologetic way for a brief moment, but then quickly raised it back up, along with his right pincer. "Ya know what to do, Scizor! Use Brick Break!" Shinya called for another of the moves that Scizor acquired from a TM, and Scizor wasted no time in carrying it out, rushing towards the opposing Normal type and preparing to bring down his right pincer down right on top of its head. OOC: Just for the record, Pixel, Shinya's Scizor's ability is Swarm, not Technician. Thanks.

"That's really cool! Can you show me where it is?" Vivian asked curiously and excitedly. "I'm sure one of its feathers would cha-ching our blings! Ya know, the ones fell on the ground."As the Scizor moved, she quickly hollered out her next move. "Gumshoos, use Fire Fang!"The Gumshoos crawled on the ground and prepared with fire on its fangs. However, the Scizor was much more nimble on his feet, and he stopped the Gumshoos in its track with a smack on the head from the underside of the Scizor's arms. The normal type yelled in pain, and then passed out unconscious on the ground from the impact. "Aww man. I'm just lucky to have Yungoos with me through all this time. We've been through a lot in Po Town together. Gumshoos knowin' Fire Fan' was just a nice bonus!" Vivian held onto her Pokemon before returning it. She then hurled out a Pokeball to send out the poison type again.

Shinya maintained his grin and chuckled some more upon hearing his sis' suggestion, looking and sounding pretty into it, despite the obvious danger. "Sis, it'd be my genuine pleasure. Not sure what the owner does with the discarded feathers, but I'm sure if we look around, we'll be able to find one or two of 'em at least. And hey, even if we don't keep 'em for ourselves, I'm positive we'll be able to find a maniac for somethin' to sell 'em to for big bucks." The very thought of making money off of someone else's Pokemon caused another round of chuckles to escape from Shinya's lips, with his excitement levels growing steadily right alongside his laughter. However, one among them still had some concerns to voice on the matter.
"I'm all for theft and makin' some big money, but there's no way I'm fightin' that stupid bird again! It almost killed me the last time we tried battlin' it!" Yanma stated with some very obvious displeasure in her voice, calling to mind the one and only time Shinya and his team of Bug types tried to steal items from the Rewards Shop. Of course, that wasn't fun for any of them, not just Yanma. But making plans for this theft attempt would have to wait for later, as the battle between these two Team Skull grunts was still going strong. Unfortunately for Vivian, Gumshoos was not, falling to Scizor's powerful Brick Break attack. And just like that, Shinya and Scizor gained the obvious edge in this battle, with Vivian's only remaining Pokemon being a Poison type of all things.
"Heck yeah. Couldn't have said it better myself, sis. Those of us in Team Skull always seem to have the devil's luck on our side. And even when that luck runs dry, we've always got each other, and our Pokemon too." The Bug type specialist said to his fellow Alolan trainer with a nod, feeling extremely fortunate to have her, his Pokemon, and all of his bros' and sis' back home too. Even if the entire world rejected Team Skull, he'd still stand by them no matter what. "Sorry about this, sis, but you and Trubbish are goin' down! Scizor, show us another Psycho Cut! In fact, make it a double!" At his trainer's command, Scizor channeled another round of Psychic energy into both of his pincers this time, then swung both of them towards the Trash Bag Pokemon, sending two blades of Psychic energy flying right at the lone Pokemon.

"Ay yo bro, let's plan when we'll do this!" Vivian responded excitedly as Shinya agreed to her little scheme. She wasn't sure what there were to plan, but she figured her brother would have better idea or something they could collaborate, with their skills and their Pokemon. "Aww, don't worry about it. Ya don't have to really one up me though. Trubbish, use Take Down!" The opponent shrugged off Shinya's boastful Pokemon move choice, only to have her choice restricted to the one that would make a scratch on the Scizor's tough armor. The bug type went first and struck the Trubbish with another Psycho Cut. The poison type yelped in pain and gulped down a Sitrus Berry that it was secretly holding in whatever pocket Trubbish would hide it. Then, the sentient waste Pokemon slammed onto sturdy Scizor, which did very little damage. The powerful Scizor returned with another Psycho Cut that sent it unconscious. "Aww. Return, Trubbish! Ya did awesome!" Vivian returned her Pokemon as she walked up to Shinya. She then continued as she counted prized money toward her bro. "That was a good battle bro. Here's your cha-ching. I'll do a Pokemon Center Run, but let's catch up, ya good?" Then she went away to get her Pokemon healed.

Shinya couldn't help chuckling a little bit at Vivian's reaction, always enjoying the sight of his bros and sis' in such high spirits, even if it was over wrongdoings. In fact, wrongdoings made it all the sweeter for him as well. "I hear ya loud and clear, sis. My Pokemon and I have still got some trainin' to do down here, then we gotta destroy Whitney and her Pokemon to get our third badge. So, how 'bout after that? Trainin' should only take us another day or two, and we should definitely be able to get a Plain Badge from a Normal type scrub like Whitney pretty easily after that. We've both got each other's Pokegear numbers, so I'll be sure to give ya a call once our work here is done, sis."
The Bug type specialist proposed an idea to his sister at arms, assuring her that it wouldn't take him too much longer to finish up his business in the big city. And from the looks of it, Yanma was already totally on board with this idea herself, nearly bursting with excitement atop Shinya's head. "Oh yeah! A heist with the boss' sister! I am so pumped for this! It's gonna be so much fun! I'm already imagining all the havoc we'll be able to cause with two members of Team Skull around!" Naturally, Shinya himself was already fairly excited for this too, having not had an opportunity to go on a good old fashioned Team Skull raid since he left Alola. It may have only been one of his precious comrades, but one was definitely better than none.
And while the trainers were making plans, the Pokemon were battling, but it turned out to be a pretty short and one-sided battle this time around. Scizor easily dispatched Trubbish with minimal difficulty, securing victory in this bout on his own and with almost no damage to show for it. "It would seem that this victory belongs to me. You and your Pokemon have my thanks, Vivian. It has truly been an honor to face one of the boss' dear siblings in battle." Even if she couldn't understand him, Scizor still put forth the effort to express his gratitude towards Vivian, offering her another bow to go along with his words of respect. And once that was done, Shinya thanked the Pincer Pokemon as well, calling him back to his Pokeball, then turning to face Vivian when she approached him with his reward.
"Much obliged, sis. Appreciate ya sharin' the wealth." The green-haired Team Skull grunt accepted the cash from the female grunt, tucking it away into his pocket while chuckling and taking another look at the female grunt's own pockets, which were still filled to the brim with gold and jewels. "Yeah, ya do that. And hey, if ya feel like hangin' out, we'll be down here for the rest of the day. Also, if ya need a place to stay while in Johto, I've got a base of my own in the forest just outside Cherrygrove City. Look for a cliff that overlooks the ocean and remember that there's a key hidden inside one of the bricks on the left side of the front gate. Second one to the inside and fourth one down."
After informing her of Team Skull's First Johto Base, Shinya and Yanma watched as Vivian took her leave, smiling and waving at her as she did. "See ya later, sis! Don't ya dare get caught by the cops! Because if ya do, Goldenrod City is gonna be short one police station!" Shinya made a little joke, chuckling a bit more to himself, but was also very serious about what he said, fully prepared to destroy anyone or anything that threatened his bros and sis'. "It was really nice meetin' ya, Vivian! Let's have even more fun the next time we cross paths, okay?!" Yanma added, still very much looking forward to causing more havoc and destruction with another member of Team Skull. And now that this encounter had come to an end, Shinya and Yanma left the abandoned bakery, continuing to venture through the underground tunnels and search for opponents to train against.
OOC: I'll pass on having Scizor learn Focus Energy. Thanks.

Deep within the Goldenrod Tunnel a small magnet like Pokemon had been doing the rounds making sure no one was up to no good. The small Pokemon had heard a commotion off in the distance coming from the direction of the bakery and as it floated towards the location it was too late to see what had gone down but it was able to see a young man walking away from the location and decided to follow him for a bit from the shadows. Every so often the magnet Pokemon would let off a small spark of electricity trying to keep a small charge ready just in case the young trainer noticed it and decided to pick a fight. As it continued to follow him for some time the magnet Pokemon took it's eye off of it's surroundings for just a moment and before it realized where it was going it smacked straight into a brick wall of a closed shop. The sound was deafening as it's steel body scraped against the brick before firing off a jolt of electricity in shock. By the time it freed itself from the wall Shinya was looking it face to face and the Magnemite realized it had made quite a silly mistake having very little hope of being allowed to flee without harm. All it could do was wait and see what fate the young trainer had planned for it. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bw/magnemite.png) Magnemite (Level 24) appeared. Please select a Pokemon.
