Sophie

As a trainer, I always listen to what my Pokémon have to say. Always. Even when I don’t want to believe what they’re trying to tell me.

So when they urged me to leave the Gym, the place I thought we could be safe, I tried to do so without any hesitation.

Nimbasa City was once vibrant, full of life and energy. Although the city’s inhabitants have tried their best to keep in that way, it just doesn’t seem the same without the Pokémon around. They put on musicals without Pokémon, altered some of the theme park rides so they weren’t so obviously Pokémon themed and carried on as normally as possible.

Team Plasma had left the city alone for a while now, a good few weeks with just the regular number of them patrolling and keeping curfew. Today numbers had tripled and the gang pulled people out of their homes, gathering people off the street and making them assemble outside what was once Nimbasa City’s Gym. A focal point, something of a symbol.

The locals seemed on edge, as though they knew what was coming, whilst those who just happened to be passing through looked puzzled. They were used to spot checks, but nothing on this scale.

“With this many grunts here,” One brave man whispered to another, “you wouldn’t be blamed for expecting Ghetsis himself to show up!”

Sophie shuddered at his name, a horrible mixture of fear and anger bubbling inside her. Stood anonymously in the crowd, Lei in his Pokéball and Alice hidden not too far away, she knew she wasn’t ready to see Ghetsis, even from a distance. She wasn’t in the state of mind to act rationally, so she prayed that today would not be the day she’d have to lay eyes upon him again.

She could be forgiven for wrapping a cream coloured scarf around her neck and pulling her hood up; it was mid-autumn, right on the pivot into winter where the days could be bitterly cold on a whim. Others were doing similar things, fidgeting as they waited for something to happen.

Two overly dressed men appeared before the assembled crowd and Sophie thanked her lucky stars. Not Ghetsis. Just two of his highest henchmen. She recognised them as two of the Seven Sages, only by the description Elesa had given her. The crowd fell silent as the shorter of the two began to speak.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for your co-operation! We hope today might be a productive one; we do not wish to waste your time, so please do not waste ours.” He gave them all a smile littered with sarcasm before continuing. “We will carry out an inspection as usual a little later, but first we must request some information from you.”

“We are looking for the trainer that resides in this Gym...” The older man stepped forward.

Some brave, or perhaps idiotic, soul piped up. “But you arrested Elesa months ago!”

Sophie felt her cheeks flush red. She’d been so careful about concealing herself, only letting a few trusted people know that she was still there. Maybe they’d spotted Alice with her? She made a physical effort not to look suspicious, restraining herself from looking around to spot her friendly Audino.

There was a scuffle towards the front with the man who had heckled and Sophie used it as her chance to hide. She made her way to the back, where a lorry was parked. There she found Alice already waiting for her, her blue eyes full of worry. She picked her up, putting her on the lorry before climbing up and hiding behind a crate.

“Don’t worry.” She whispered, petting Alice’s ears. “We’ll be safe in here.”

Gorm brushed himself off as the irritating man was dragged away, clearing his throat. “Now, people of Nimbasa City, in all seriousness, there is a reward for any information on Elesa’s little sister. One lucky family has already benefitted from telling us she’s been back to the gym several times.” He motioned to them, stood near the front, looking more ashamed than pleased with themselves.

“We would simply like to know if she’s inside or not.” Bronius added. “It would be a shame to let her pretty face burn...”

“Well?” Gorm tapped his foot impatiently.

“Your information is always valued, however insignificant you feel it may be.” Bronius reasoned with the crowd as Gorm began pacing up and down.

“Well, so be it. You have potentially sentenced her to death, people of Nimbasa.” Gorm nodded at the truck at the back. “Let this be a lesson to you all!” Team Plasma grunts took fuel canisters from the truck and began piling them at the front of the gym. “We will find trainers and we will not hesitate to do the same to you!”

Yay! Finally!
I was gonna let the gym burn, but I figured that would be no fun. So I'm giving you the chance to stop it! We start in Nimbasa. You can take on the Grunts (expect Gorm and Bronius to scarper if that happens), try and keep hiding, let the inspection take place and let the gym burn... Hell, you can even turn Sophie in if you want (but that would be mean)! It's all up to you

Btw, I didn't make those names up. Gorm and Bronius genuinely are names of the Seven Sages. And I totally wasn't aware Ghetsis counted as one before I started this, ALAS. NEVERMIND. A HITCH.

LSU's are still accepted, btw. DivineAll, I still need to PM you back again, so just hold off talking about Orre in too much detail for now. Ta!

Yay! Off you go~
