Ziggy whispers to Kylar


Ziggy takes the pokeball of the sad Scraggy in his hand and walks up to it. "I know nothing is ever going to bring them back... but you fought well for Spike and you should be proud of that. You're going to have to make a choice now." Ziggy holds out the pokeball for emphasis "If you want, I'll let you go to live whatever life you want to make after all this. BUT, you seem like a strong fighter and I'm always looking for new talent. If you want to, you are welcome to join our crew. Or you can walk away, your choice."

The Scraggy looks up at Ziggy, eyes welling with tears...and spits on Ziggy's shoe. It hoists up its saggy pants, takes one last look at Spike and Machoke, and then wanders off into the darkness of the cave.

Kylar to Ziggy


"I need everyone's attention down here. I need to get everyone's account of the situation. There is a dead body here and I want answers now!" Kylar realizing he may have upset Opal, turns to her, "Except you of course Opal. I know you are innocent."

to Kylar


"This man brutally ambushed us! He took our pokemon, attacked our other pokemon... then charged right at me fists clenched and ready! It was horrifying! You should have seen the violence in his face!" Ziggy knew how to sell a story "My pokemon were extremely worried about the situation and tried to stop him. Even after a warning attack he wouldn't stop! Ultimately, he wouldn't stop and so there was no choice but to keep attacking. For such a big man he went so quickly. It's all so tragic" Ziggy shakes his head sadly.

One deep breath. Another. In through the nose, out through the mouth. Keep your cool. Ignoring the body, his Pokémon, and the mech remains for the moment, Tristan walks over to Phiebe as Ziggy is talking to her, lending him support through his presence.

Tristan gives Ziggy an "I'll take it from here" nod as the musician walks over to the body and begins whispering with Kylar.

"He's right, you know. If you're in too deep, we could help you out. I'm really sorry about your friend, but it's pretty clear what happened here was self-defense in my opinion.," he says with a level stare, almost daring Phoebe to say it wasn't.

"Poaching was probably all his and Quinn's idea too, wasn't it? I bet you were just the technician. Swept up and beyond your depth. No one would blame you for it."

Tristan looks at her, trying to read her expression. Trying to see if he's getting through.

"So. One option is we all go to Rainshadow City together, and simply explain what happened. It's pretty clear-cut. Things got out of hand, and you tried to stop Spike and Quinn but couldn't. We've even a Ranger here on the scene to verify it. Of course, I'm sure Ziggy can think of a second option, too. Perhaps even a third."

Ziggy returns Phoebe's Pokeballs, and she quickly returns them to her belt, looking somewhat surprised that he kept his word. As he extended the offer to join their team, Phoebe let out a soft laugh and shook her head. "'Switching teams.' You make it sound so easy." She stared at Ziggy with curious, penetrating eyes. "I don't fault you for killing Spike. He was a dumb brute who always picked fights, and if you didn't do it, someone else would have soon enough. I only worked with him because they told me to," she said, though her voice faltered at the last bit. "I won't rat you out because I want nothing to do with Rangers," she said with a distrustful look at Kylar, who was now corralling the group, "but I can't just....leave. It's complicated..." she trailed off, looking conflicted.

Phoebe listens to Tristan, amazed that this random trainer would resort to such a cold, calculating, illegal plan just to help her out. Phoebe respects that, and it oddly wins her over even more than Ziggy's optimistic charm. But her face shows she's clearly still conflicted. "Quinn's idea? Quinn is good at sneaking and hunting, not thinking. That was my job," she said with a twinge of guilt. The words are starting to flow faster as she chats with Tristan. "But poaching wasn't my plan, I was just tasked with executing it well. I just do what they tell me, since a telekinetic is useful for all sorts of things," she grumbled. The tone of her voice made it sound like she felt...used. "But this is all bigger than you think. I can't show my face to the cops. And I can't just leave....I know too much, and they'll come looking for me." Her eyes flashed a dark, sad purple. "But if I go back, take the fall for the mission, say I couldn't help Quinn because you had already defeated my Pokemon and Spike...They'll believe whatever I say over Quinn, they always do. They'll dock my pay and I may be stuck with inferior jobs and supervision, but the alternative..."

As Ziggy recounts his version of the events to the small group, his speech is so moving that everyone gobbles it up. Even the direct witnesses feel like his description of the events match what they saw, despite any previous potential doubts or confusion about the situation. It had been chaotic, of course, and it wasn't until now that they could so clearly see that it was self defense.

"Oh my..." Opal quivers, tears welling in her eyes as she sees the body for the first time. She turns away and covers Drilbur's eyes. "Those horrible poachers! I'm just glad you were able to defend yourself!

Kylar, noticing the looks on the others' faces, quickly takes his cue to intervene. "Sir" as Kylar looks toward Ziggy, "Unless anyone objects to your recollection of the events, this appears to be a surefire case of self defense." Knowing that Jon and Tristan's stories could be doctored with the right coaching and line of questioning, Kylar turns to the woman he has come to find out is named Phoebe, "Ma'am is that how it happened?"
