[IC] Jeremy Kelly "Passion Kiss" Lightfoot's Pokemon Adventure is nigh. (Group RP)

[Macie Lightfoot]

With the need for speed in mind, Donald hatched a plan to eat up the needed miles. "Guys, if you have any Pokémon that can get us there faster, now might be a good time to get their help," he stated.

Jeremy: we don't have any on us. We're gonna have to take a ferry. The nearby docks has a ship that is heading to where we're going.

Sandy: It's gonna only mean that it will be a while before we reach Chicago... but the main thing is that we're gonna hit Chicago and help the Gym Leader get her gym back.

Randy: That's right. I mean... we could always fly our way there... but that'd make it way too easy. Besides i am sure we would all be thinking the same thing that... traveling and journeying in order to get there... is half the fun. If we were to just fly... we'd be more than likely missing out on catching some very interesting pokemon.

Jessie: You know. He has a point. We should try to use other means... not just resort to flying just to get to where we need to go all the time.

Abigail: We could still perhaps have our flying pokemon fly up and scan the land ahead... looking for anything that doesn't appear right.

Marcie: Hmm... that's a great idea. My Dragonite Madonna just loves recons. She would look for any chance to go on one.

Jeremy: *Looking to see a ship* There's a ship. The S.S St. Angela. It's said to be a rather swift sailing ship. Taking scenic routes to ensure the most enjoyable experience for any traveler. It's not that fast... it's a 4 day ride. But... the trip will be so so worth it. Who knows... maybe we'll get lucky and wind up with some good items. The ship could have a couple of Poke Marts on it. So... we can easily restock on what we need.

Sandy: *Grins* Sounds good to me.

Lisa: What're we waiting for? Let's go.

It was on to the ship. It was gonna slow them down due to it being a 4 day trip. However... with what they were to have in mind... it was sure to be well worth it...

It pained Donald to admit it, but he knew they had a point. He hoped the Chicago police had a handle on the crisis at the gym. He, Reuben and Ray all boarded the ship and started looking around. Donald's Espeon and Ray's Beheeyem scanned the surrounds for anyone looking to sabotage the journey across the great lake.

While on the ship...

Jeremy: I think that we have another team to worry about or watch out for.

Sandy: How do you figure?

Lisa: What do you mean... another team? You mean another one besides the two that we've been having to deal with?

Jeremy: I'm afraid so. *Sighs* When i was facing Maxie the Leader of Team Magma again... which was to win our mother back from the controls of Team Magma.. it was during the battle that something started happening. His Camerupt and Nova started to fall under the guise of mind control. Someone unseen was controlling our Camerupts. We had to cut out the match and get them back into the pokeballs which we could. But... the incident was enough to raise a wild sense for concern.

Randy: Who do you think it was?

Jeremy: No idea. Maxie didn't know either... however we can surely bet that he's not gonna just sit down and not find out who it was. He is gonna be looking for the one responsible for what happened and when he does... It's not gonna be pretty.

Marcie: You can say that again.

Abigail: Something tells us that we're gonna need a team to do some recon.

Jessie: Let's wait till we reach land again... We'll deal with putting out a recon team then. We need to think this through and figure as to how we're to go digging for answers. Whoever that guy is... he could be trouble. OR she.

The trip continues on...

Who was this Cyrus? Were they gonna encounter the mysterious adversary? It was gonna be anyone's guess...

"Some Pokémon, mostly Psychic-type, have the ability to control other minds," Reuben stated, "Most of the time it's used as a means of communication with humans if telepathy is insufficient. Do you think it was a Pokémon controlling Nova's mind? Donald knew that any Internet searches for people named Cyrus would turn out millions of results that would take too long to go through.
