Recovering from shock , Connor replied, "Err...hi, i'm Connor. Please be careful next time, i know your Blaziken is powerful but i'm sure you don't want it hurting innocents. Btw, wadaya mean <Don't say a word about my name>?? So how do you want me to address you?"

Saga you can join. Just make sure you know what's going on here and post your profile following the rules, ok? You can start anywhere you want, but in order to enter VW you need to contact either Billy, Bridgette, Lannette or any of the Professors first (take note where they are and if they've already sent another trainer in.
************************************************************

Current location: VW's Celadon City (unknown to him)

Erick, and {porygon 2} appear on the third floor of a building(Celadon Mansion), totally dizzied after Teleport there.

- "Oh my head! I'd have guessed that wouldn't work. No way Maker could teleport us somewhere it hasn't been before. At least we get out of that scary tunnel, but were are we now? Datix, scan the area"

{porygon 2} begins to scan the 'walls' of the virtual building. After a few moments, it cries and sends the results of the scanning to Erick's pokenav.

- "Corrupted data?! That's great. I guess we had to make it in the old way" (he begins to walk to the stairs, followed by the pokemon, but then suddenly he notices something) "Corrupted data? that means this place is infected by the virus... we must leave this place now! Maker use Teleport!"

Before could react, a red-eyed appears through a wall and tackles hit.

- "Maker are you ok? Datix use Tri-attack on that thing!"

The attack hits its target, freezing the pokemon.

- "That's what I call luck! Good work Datix, now Maker, get us outta here"

As they teleport away. A strange woman comes in and recalls the Porygon. Then she laughs and says "next time you won't be that lucky... (shouting at the 'ceiling') The intruder is gone, you can open the portal now". Seconds later a big "R" appears on one wall and she goes through the portal, which closes inmediately after.

************************************************************
Did you get it?

name: Dave
age: 15
pokemon: (always out)

starting location: goldenrod city


i lost my blissy and flygon thanx to porygonX
_____________________________________________

Dave and umbreon run around goldenrod.
"i need to get to the VW, how do i get in."

Dave and umbreon just keep running.

"is anyone around here?"

Before Star could answer, a red R appeared at the side of a wall. Several people, dressed in black uniforms, with a red-R down the front, came through. Connor realized who they were.

"Team Rocket!!!" he shouted.

"No one meddles in our business. You 2 are gonna regret coming in here!" one of the Rockets exclaimed. Immediately, as he finished, like a blindind flash of lightning, Pokemon were summoned. A showdown was on the way.

"Get ready Star." Connor warned Star, then turned to Pichu, "Get ready."

"Piii~" had a serious look on the face, it started charging, flaming blue sparks jumping from his cheecks.

Star smiled & pulled out a pair of Luxury Balls.
"Time to show your stuff.Voodoo!Blaze!Go!", a Banette & her faithful Blaziken appeared.But Star also grabbed Gardevoir & Espeon's pokeballs.

((Oh, come on Stellar!Team Rocket!Even a beginner trainer can beat them!Unless you got a plan to make it difficult, I suppose?))

((They can be rather hard if u make them to. C'mon R2, u can create something interesting, something complex, make things confusing, let ur imagination flow ))

Connor watched in amazement as Star brought out 2 similarly strong Pokemon. He turned to face the Rockets, there were 3 of them, 2 males and a female, who each released several other Pokemon. 1 guy in particular had his do SmokeScreen, covering the room in a cloud of poison gas. Connor whiffed in some and coughed, choking for air. He quickly summoned his and .

"Xatu, Gust! Blow the gas back to them." obeyed and launched a violent Gust against the Rockets, blowing the gases back at them. For a moment there, the gas limited vision. Without warning, a leap out of nowhere and slashed Connor's , freezing some feathers it in the process. fell to the floor chirping.

"Sceptile, Agility!" obeyed and closed it's eyes, concentrating a second, a faint glow silhouetted it, then it reopened them. " Rush, LeafBlade!" Connor yelled, pointing at the .

In an instant, disappeared from sight, and reappeared in front of the . It started swiping multiple times with lightning fast speed using the leafy-blades by the side of its arms. somehow protected itself with an ice-coat it formed around itself. The coat absorb some damage but in the end managed to deal massive damage on the little rat. The fell with a thud.

Current location: unknown

- "Where are we? Datix, sc.... Maker no!"

is hit by a powerful fire attack coming straight out from a wall. The wall begins to glow and then a R-shaped portal opens and a big man walks in. A follows the man and roars fiercely at Erick and his pokemon.

- Flareon!! Why? Do you recognize me?...
- So, this is... was your pokemon. You did a wonderful job with it. All of its frustration, all of its anger allow the virus to infect it so easily. I really must thank you for your help.
- Set her free now!! I don't know who you are, buy I won't let anybody steal my pokemon. I won't forgive you for what you've done to Flareon. Go Weezing!!
-Ha! No poison pokemon could defeat me. Flareon use Psychic!!
- What!?

The psychic attack sends to a wall, dealing heavy damage on the poison pokemon.

- It can't be. Flareon doesn't know Psychic, there's no way...
- Still don't get it boy? You're in VW now. You, your pokemon, this building, even myself. Everything here is just computer data. And using the virus we've created we are able not only of steal stored pokemon from whoever we want to, but we can alter that data at will too! And soon we'll be able to bring our creations to the real world and then nobody will be able to stop us!! Now, Flareon burn them with Overheat!
- Maker Teleport us!

The psychic pokemon isn't able to fight anymore and faints. But suddenly Datix jumps in front of Erick and uses Protect to avoid the attack.

- Argg!! One of those stupid Porygons. I guess where it came from. I'll leave now, but when we meet again, nothing could stop me to take all of your pokemon. By the way, you may want to know we've already taken all of your pokemon from PC storage system as well as every pokemon of every trainer in Kanto, Johto and Hoenn regions. We've discovered some very interesting pokemon... Well, I must leave now. Flareon, Smoke Screen!!

Shocked by the news, Erick doesn't even try to stop the man, who disappears through the portal, leaving a dark cloud of smoke behind him.

- This can't be happening... Golduck, Beedrill, Gengar, Tauros... all of them... I must stop this madness. I must reach Silph Co and find out what is this all about. Weezing, Maker, come back. Datix, scan the zone and find the shortest way to Saphron city. I'll follow you.

Erick leaves the place walking slowly behind {porygon 2}, thinking about his beloved pokemon, now lost and hoping every word of the man was false.

"hmm i need to find a way to get to a pokemon center, go dragonite"

a dragonite comes out of his pokeball. dave goes on his back and dragonite flys dave and umbreon around.

"there, there is a pokemon center but there are 2 rocket members. go dragonite hyperbeam"

a blast goes for the rockets and sends them flying.

Dave goes in the pokemon center with dragonite waiting outside.

Dave and umbreon look around the goldenrod city pokemon center for anyone that could help.

((if anyone is in goldenrod i'm here too if you want to team up.))

((The only time my imagination starts flowing like a raging river is in my stories.))

"Voodoo, use Shadow Punch on that Weezing!Blaze, use it survives, use Blaze Kick & finish it off!", Star turned towards Connor & almost laughed.
"It's almost funny to see what would happen if I also helped.At least, to take out the trainer.A Pokemon can't fight without its trainer, you know."

((See where I'm going with this? 8) ))

((Not really. ))

Connor was confused at Star's comment and started scratching his head saying, "Huuh??"

The 3 Rockets yet again summoned their Pokemon. This time all 3 were . "Uh-oh, Xatu, return." Upon command, Connor returned his into its ball. "Go Pichu, ThunderBolt! Sceptile, slice'n'dice time, FuryCutter!"

from afar shot a bolt of lightning at the dogs. Somehow, the male Rocket, who seemed to be the leader's vanished and reappeared in front of . It's mouth was gaped open ready to strike with either a Bite or a Crunch, Connor can't tell. "Double Team!" splitted, creating copies of itself. The chomped at an image. came at lightspeed to protect , using Fury Cutter on the . After taking 2 hits, the managed to step back.

Meanwhile, the other 2 charged at Star.

"Fireblast!" commanded the Leader. The then launched a Fireblast attack. dodged it easily, but out of nowhere, it was frozen. Turning to it's side, Connor saw the fallen . "What the...?" he said in confusion. "Pichu, ThunderWave them all!"

"It's useless no matter how many times you fallen them!!" said the female Rocket. "Sneaky, freeze that little rat!" The obeyed and went straight at . along with it's copies ran away, then turned back firing a powerful wave of thunder, temporarily paralyzing everything, everyone in the room. "Oops, sorry Star." Connor apologized.

Dave doesn't get any answers in the pokemon center so he goes outside. there stand all these rocket members. great "go tyranitar use earthquake"
before any of the rockets get to send out their pokemon they are thrown away."good work return" tyranitar returns to its pokeball. "dragonite lets fly." now dave and dragonite fly around in search of some answers.

Star was paralyzed, thankfully for only a second.
"Let me show you what I mean.", she said, furious.She ran up a nearby wall & slammed into the male Rocket with her foot.
"Blaze, use Blaze Kick on 1 of the Mightyena!Banette, use Psychic!", Star commanded as she quickly stepped back next to Connor.

((Now you see what I meant?! Also, I'm gonna check & see if Banette can learn Psychic.))

Dave's dragonite continued to fly east near kanto. since he didn't find anything there he might as well try kanto.

they reach Silph Co. hmm can i find anything here, i mean it is a big place dragonite returns to its pokeball as dave and umbreon search the area.

Dave enters the area and finds 2 people.

"and who might you be another one of the rockets?"
<umbreon growl>

((If the 2 person u'r referring to it's me and Star, saga, u'd better read the entire RP first. We're both in VW, you're not. As to R2, yeah, now i see what you mean. ))

"Sassy, Star." Connor exclaimed as he witnessed Star taking down one of the Rockets. "I'll join."

He rushed towards the female Rocket, while all the other Pokemon were paralyzed. was now freed of ice too, and it attacked the other even without command. "Sceptile, come and help me!" Connor shouted to him. He tackled the female Rocket into a wall. She fainted immediately after banging into the wall. Connor stood back up, with by his side.

On the other hand, was playfully shocking the other enemy Pokemon, especially .

Now, the only one left standing is the group's leader and his .

(( Stellar's gonna love this!It's amazing what can happen when he's gone!))

Star looked pleased.But she pushed it aside & returned Blaze & Voodoo.
"Now, you'll see just how tough I really am.Gardevoir, go!", Star brought out a Master Ball & brought out Gardevoir.
"Now, Gardevoir, use your special attack!", 2 hands appeared & Star jumped on 1 of them.While the hands aimed at Mightyena & instantly made it faint, Star jumped & slammed the final Rocket into the wall!
"Thanks, Gardevoir."
<Can you please promise me you will never do that again?>, Gardevoir asked Star.She(Star)shrugged & returned Gardevoir.
"Way to go, Connor!It's good to know I have a powerful trainer nearby. Now, if only we could figure out how to stop that virus-Porygon X, I believe?", Star said.

((Hmm...isn't it strange that Star taught Gardevoir Shadow Punch-the hands thing?Almost as if she knew somehow about this happening?Here's a thought.Did Star know of the incident sooner & prepared or was it just plain luck?))

((Enough with the OOC chats XD))

Connor was amazed how skilled Star was. She has apparentl trained her Pokemon well. He returned Pokemon into its ball.

Then, he turned to Star and answered her question, "Well, yeah, we've gotta look for the virus, but here do we start?"
He walked up slowly to her, then kneeling down on one foot, he grabbed the Rocket leader by his collar and started questioning, "I'm sure you guys have something to do with the virus, TELL US!"
"In your dreams, hahahahahaha..."the Rocket leader laughed maniacally then he snapped his fingers. The same red-glowing R appeared under him and the others. It illuminated the room brightly, blinding Connor and his , then, the Rockets vanished.

I hope that doesn't mean I'm boring...

Well, thanks you 2, R2BF and T_F. This is getting more and more funny

And Saga, I think you're a little confused. If there is nobody else out there, there still are non-player-characters you can 'control' at your will. Maybe Nurse Joy, Officer Jenny, a bug catcher, a lass, or a talking rock, you decide (well, I was just joking about rocks ). And as I told you before, you need to contact a Professor or one of the computer guys in order to enter VW, so look for them (or you could try to find and catch a wild Porygon, but I guess that will be a little harder ).

Now, let's go on with this thing...
************************************************************
Current location: Underground path, walking to Vermilion city.

- Datix, are you sure this is the shortest way? We've been walking for hours and I still don't know where we are. I wish Bridgette were here now .

(Phone rings)

- What? I've got a call? But who... how... could it be...? Hello??
- Oh it works! Hi Erick, I'm so happy you are ok, well tell me how you're doing in there?
- Bridgette!! Where have you been? I've been in this place for half a day or so and I was wondering where you are. And now you call me and ask "how you're doing" like nothing has happened!!
- What are you talking about? We've just separated about an hour ago... Oh I see, you still don't get used to the way time goes by [so slowly for those who wait, no time to... err sorry] in Virtual World. Where are you now?
- That's something I really want to know
- OK. Wait a second, I'll try to locate you on this map... Wow[no, not Will-o-Wisp... sorry again]!! According to this, you're about to arrive to Vermilion city!! That's great! You will be in Silph Co sooner than I expected. OK, I need you to listen carefully. I've managed to connect to the network safely thanks to Datix, so I will be able to help you from here. Tell me, have you discovered anything yet?
- You could bet.
(Erick tells Bridgette everything has happened to him since she left VW)
- Team Rocket! I should have guessed. They have always been messing with Silph Co and Devon. Fortunately, Bill warned us. That allowed us to protect Datix and some other Porygons from anything they could make. You and your pokemon will be safe as long you are with it. Now I will heal your party. And don't worry, we three managed to put a firewall into the system, so most of stored pokemon are safe, though some of them have already been infected or snatched or released. That barrier won't stay long though. You need to reach Silph Co's development department and find Porygon 3's development log. I will give Datix enough data to lead you to the nearest place to it that I can track. I won't be able to keep connected if you enter an infected zone, so you better watch out. Remember no to get separated from Datix, that is very important. Speak to you later. Good luck.

As Erick hangs up (or is it down??) the phone, {porygon 2} gets near to him and pushes him to a wall with ever increasing speed.

- No, wait. What are you doing? There's a wall there, we're gonna...!!!!

Erick and Datix dissappear through the wall. In no time, they appear rushing through another wall inside Silph Co. building. Erick falls to the ground, fainted. Datix gets near to him and tries to wake him up but it's useless. Then the virtual pokemon close its eyes and falls asleep right to the young trainer.

((fine i'll go to prof oak in saffron. forget about my last post.))

Dave and umbreon ride on dragonite and fly to prof oak in saffron.Dave and umbreon search for more than 3hrs before they find him. yet he is with rockets. "professer" Dave yells. "help" he crys out. "umbreon go faint attack" umbreon charges at the rockets and knocks them down. "follow professer" after they find a good place to talk they ask him all about the pc problem.

"how come the boxes have been deleted"
"there was something wrong with the porygonX"
"porygonX?"
"ya its a new one and something has happened, if you want to find the real problem you have to go to the VW."
"how do i get there?"
"i can get you there"
"i'll do it just bring me there"
"but i must warn you-"
"i don't care just bring me in there"
"fine hang on"

They travel to the place where Oak can help to bring Dave and his pokemon there.
*******************************************
VW
******************************************

Dave and all of his pokemon enter a weird place

"where am I hmmm...?"
"IS ANYONE HERE!!!"
He walks around to see if he can get some answers.

((Stellar, you're not boring at all!I only meant that I've started to notice, so stay here & also join in the excitement!Tiny & I can't have fun by ourselves!))

Star shrugged.
"Hey, if you're thinking of asking me where to start, don't.Don't forget, I was overreacting when we met.", she said, then pulled out Espeon's pokeball, "Hey, I wonder if Psychic Pokemon can do just as well as Porygon & Porygon2?Wouldn't hurt to try.Espeon, go!"
Espeon, can you lead us through here?, Star thought.
I can try., Espeon said & started walking.
"Hey, Connor!Come on!", Star said, racing to catch up with Espeon.

((Dark red is Espeon.For some reason, I couldn't get her last message to work & part of the post was italic.))

current location:VW(saffron sliph Co.)

Dave and umbreon wonder around the VW for hours. they just saw a porygon and another person appear. who is that? Dave holds out a pokeball."go tyranitar" a tyranitar appears near this person.
<tyranitar growl>
"get up you rocket"

((Sorry that it has been so long since I replied. I've been busy making my site and with the Bartimaeus RP.))

This is useless, I thought. We had been wandering around for hours with nothing to show for it, other then greater confusion.

While Bart and I had been here, strange things had continually occured. Builings had mysteriously moved from place to place, what felt like a breeze kept changing direction, and a flicker kept passing my eye, though I had not yet discovered who it was that was following me.

I had searched everywhere, though the one place that I should visit was what gave me the most dread. Silph Co. loomed up in the center of town, seemingly twice the size of the building which was found in the real world. Finally, with no where else to search, I decided it was time to investigate the massive structure.

"Ready, Bart?" I asked my Cubone. He nodded and we stepped through the door.

What greeted me was somewhat... unexpected, though it was welcome. Two Trainers stood on the main floor of the building, a boy and a girl, and the place looked as if there had been a recent battle.

"Um... hello?" I spoke up to alert them of my presence. "Were you two sent in here as well? I was told I might meet some others."

I waited for a response.

- "It's over!! Articuno use Sheer Cold now!! Yes, that is!!"
- "Dragonite cannot fight anymore.. Erick is the winner of this battle and the new Elite Four... GRRRROAAAARRRRRRGG"
- "What the..."

Erick wakes up with the powerful growl of Tyranitar and looks around trying to figure out what has happened.

-"Where am I? Last thing I remember is Datix pushing me to a wall and then... Oh wait! Where's Datix?? Dat..."

He turns around and finds a big Tyranitar in front of him along with a trainer who looks very angry. Datix has just awaken and watchs the scene like nothing is happening (it has already scanned the strangers and has verified they're not infected)

-"I don't know who are you, but if you want a fight, that's what you'll get and I must tell you that I have had a very bad day... Go Omastar!"

"well if you want to i guess."
uses his ability to put up a sandstorm.

"how can you beat me if you can't see me, tyranitar go, earthquake"

the area starts to shake.

-"I wonder if a virtual building can crash down... Omastar, Protect! and then Aurora Beam! It doesn't matter if I can see yout pokemon, cause Omastar surely can!" Erick says while he tries to protect his eyes from the vicious Sandstorm and watching the roof above his head as the entire building shakes.

While both trainers engage in battle, Datix -the {porygon 2}- walks down and up the hall, scanning the area and continously changing its type using Conversion 2 in order to not get hurt.

"no tyranitar don't let that aurora beam hit you, use hyper beam."

tyranitar's hyper beam cancels out the aurora beam

"try a combo move, earthquake and rockslide"

as tyranitar uses earthquake, rocks fly up then they get thrown.
