"Everyone seems to be here... except Kaida. We could leave without her, but then we'd be walking all the way to Pyrite. You know, since the bus is kind of dead," Silver commented. He was, by this time, sitting with his back to a tree, absent-mindedly teasing his new Murkrow, now called Karasuke, with its own shiny Pokeball. It was oddly amusing to watch its eyes follow the red and white ball as Silver waved it around.
"Don't they have any other busses?"
"No, they thouht it'd be easier if they only had one bus running on each route at once. Kind of hard for there to be any crashes that way. Pretty poor planning if you ask me..."
"So you need a ride, huh?" The voice responsible for the statement belonged to an older man in a Hummer that then stopped in front of the Pokemon Reservation. "I'm sure your parents have told you not to get in a car with a stranger, but we can't always listen to our parents, can we?" (Font color = #552211)
"Actually, I think I missed that lesson... Since when do people have CARS in this region?"
"Since they became necessary as a plot device. You're headed for Pyrite, right? I'm going that way anyway, and I can't leave a bunch of kids stranded here waiting for ol' Bernie to figure out where he's going."
"Well, we were actually waiting for someone... but the fact that you have a font color means you're a significant character, which means we don't have to wait for the bus to be fixed."
((Kaida gets a few days to catch a new Pokemon; if she doesn't, we'll just kind of have her come along without one. Because it's about time I got to introduce this character...))

"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

"While this may go againts my better judgement, I do want to get to Pyrite as fast as I can,." Gar said to himself. "Well, if Silver's ok with it, I don't see why we shouldn't. But my parents did tell me to be warry of strangers. Hmmm." He started pacing and muttering to himself, and after awhile, formed a shallow rut.
"Just choose already!" Troy yelled immpatiantly.
"Allright! I think we should go as well, mainly because if this guy is planing on hurting us, he'll have a tough time doing it since he'll be out numbered and we have strong pokemon."

Kaida had wondered off and actually managed to catch another fire-type pokemon. This one was a growlith, which she had nicknamed Portagus .D. Ace, Ace for short.

"The person you were waiting for was a girl? And a cute one at that? Say... how about you sit up front with me?"
The group responded anime sweatdrop-style. "Oh, great... He's just like Jiraiya..." Silver commented.
"Am not! I'm more like Sanji."
"And you're using that as your defense...?"
Having just been completely dissed, the only present person with a driver's liscence changed the subject as quickly as he could. "Let's get going, then; Pyrite's not just going to appear before us."
And, after an intense game of Rock-Paper-Scissors to decide who would have to sit up front - which Gar, poor, poor Gar, lost, by the way - they were off. Since the road hadn't been paved yet, it was really nothing more than a rut in the endless desert, worn down because of buses that used it daily. It was barely visable as there was nothing but sand and the occasional oddly-shaped rock formation for miles, so I immagine it was quite easy to get lost if you didn't already know where you were going...
"Waaaiiiit!" Someone I'm sure you've all forgotten about shouted as the group of main characters drove off, "Come back! We need to get to Pyrite too! And we're way cooler than those guys!"
"The Ron, this is TOTALLY not the cool," the girl beside him added, crossing her arms arrogantly as she did so.
"Tell me about it, The Jen! Now we're going to have to wait for Major Mishap to fix the bus..."
"What, do you guys think it's my fault the world is full of stupid and not cool people?"
Poor, poor loosers. Now back to the important people.
"Are you suggesting we're not important?! I'll have you know, if we weren't heere, this roleplay would be roughly three pages shorter and the plot probably would have advanced much more quickly! But it would have sucked, because without our The awesomeness-"
I SAID, back to the important people.
"Oh yeah, I meant to add this earlier... my name's Konsen. You see? Now we're not strangers anymore."
"Though some of us are quite strange."
"What was that?"
"Ah hah hah... While we're doing the introduction thing, I go by Silver!"
"I'm Gar, and there we have Troy, Kaida, Glenn, and Neo."
"So then... why weren't you kids with the rest of Bernie's Broken Bus Brigade?"
"The incident wasn't actually the bus driver's fault; it was team Snagem."
"They sent a Sneasel in to steal a bunch of Pokemon, so we went to get them back," Neo recalled, neglecting to mention that his Metapod was among the stolen Pokemon.
"I couldn't very well wait for the bus knowing my Zubat was being held hostage."
"You kids... had a run in with Team Snagem?"
Yeah. I thought they were dead too, but the confiscated Pokemon and Snag Machine usage suggest otherwise."
"I see..." The way he said this was strange; there didn't seem to be any anger that a long-forgotten group of criminals had returned to the spotlight; there was just... disappointment. "A-and I take it you're all headed for the Elite Four?"
"For now... But I'd rather become a Gym Leader than a Pokemon League Champion."
"Same here. It's about time someone dethroned Wet Willy."
"Speaking of which, it's still pretty early, so we should probably head for the gym as soon as we get to Pyrite."
"Who said you'd be getting to Pyrite today?" It was this statement by the car's driver that caused the passengers to realize they'd left the main road long ago and had now arrived at some kind of warehouse. Well, no, it wasn't that they had just arrived there. He had somehow managed to drive inside the warehouse without any of them noticing. Yeah, it's wierd.
"Sorry, kids, but this is what happens to people that mess with Team Snagem." As he said this, he jumped out of the car... and the vehicle was sent plumetting through the floor, into the darkness below.
"I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE STAYED IN SCHOOOoooool..."

"Everyone quick, grab my hand!" Glenn did some really quick thinking and everyone hurried to link hands. "Go Abra, Teleport!"
Unfortunately, as Glenn hadn't visited any Pokémon Centers since catching Abra, the move wasn't able to get them out of the warehouse but it did get them out of the truck and onto solid ground and in the nick of time at that as they could hear the truck crashing into the floor somewhere nearby.

"I blame you for this Silver." Gar muttered. "You know, I've heard that ralts can sense the emotions of people. I really want to know why I didn't do that when we first meet the man. I'M SO STUPID!" he yelled, hitting himself in the head.

"Well untill then we could do with some light in here, Okay Cinder" Kaida said grabbing a pokeball and releasing a pokemon, but it wasn't Cinder. Instead there was a growling respons. "Meep! Sorry Ace" She said trying a different pokeball, this time getting the right one.
The fire on Cinder's back lit up part of the room so they could see eachother, the smashed remains of the truck and...
