#taskforce deployed

Mid day, at around 4 in the evening, it started.

The raid started.

Portals opened in the woods of Santalune Forest, close enough to the house for it to be not much of a walk, but far enough to not be heard at first, Maxie narrows his eyes at the sight of the house, face warping into a sarcastic smirk. "Of course his house would be run down... of course..."

A few grunts surround the area, quickly getting into the positions they were told, after all, this is Maxie and Archie's kid, they're here in case something goes wrong.

Pokemon were let out of their pokeballs, mainly canines and other small pokemon, the pokemon leading the pack being Bite, Fight, and a large female Houndoom, the collar on her neck saying 'Smoke'.

Both Archie and Maxie hang back for now, letting the pokemon lead the charge.

It's quiet in the breakroom, there are some people staring at Scoundrel curiously as she's sitting- well, standing, as the chair had started to melt a few moments of sitting on it.

Shadow didn't take long to come into the break room, a shadowy creature with a long tail and... no mouth? How do they speak?

Shadow looked at them, then quickly took a seat on the other chair, suddenly a mouth opened into sharp jagged peaks, almost like a substitute for teeth.

"So, you're Scoundrel? The one we helped with removing the Nihilego from?" They tilt their head, their voice is echoy and rather... unnerving, but they look calm. "I heard you need our assistance?"

The mouth disappears once closed...

This is the official Taskforce Distortion account. Before anything, we will answer some questions for you.

What is Taskforce Distortion? Taskforce Distortion is a group focused on the protection of the Multiverse. It is ran under multiple divisions; the Rocket Division, the Aqua Division, the Magma Division, the Galactic Division, the Plasma Division, the Skull Division and the (new) Star Division. Our leader keeps their identity hidden for the safety of all involved, however we all run under guidelines set by them.

What is the purpose of each division? The Rocket Division monitors the activity of "Teams" both active and not. This division having access to top of the line security and surveillance systems to monitor such activity. Any unusual activity will be reported to the leader and a plan of dispatch will be acted upon with swiftness. The Aqua and Magma Division share responsibilities of monitoring irregular seismic activity in the current universe's planet, as to not let a catastrophic event similar to that of the Hoenn incident ever happen again. A smaller responsibility is to also monitor the health of the oceans and land to try and fight back pollution and habitat damage. The Galactic Division monitors the Distortion world, keeping an eye on the activity of the Giratina to make sure they do not cause havoc to any universes that reside in said plane of existence. The Plasma Division monitors known pokemon breeders and professional trainers to prevent illegal activity, be it pokemon abuse or inhumane training methods that don't necessarily fall under the league or law's definition of abuse. The Skull Division is our eyes on the ground, sent out to monitor areas of interest along with the Rocket Division. And finally the Star Division, which isn't a full division, as there is only one member, however it is one of the most important additions as it's lead member is a prodigy hacker, allowing us much farther reach than before.

The entrance to the place seemed rather inconspicuous to outside viewers, something that wouldn't be thought twice about if you were just a random civilian going on a normal day.

But no one on the Taskforce was blind to the signs.

The knocked back trees, the traces of psychic energy, a strange indent in the mountain.

There was a door there...

"Okay, remember, once me and Heart bust the door down, you all need to rush in and split off, everyone remember who they're going with?" Agent Soul directed the question to everyone, some members muttered amongst themselves before nodding, Agent Heart bumping shoulders with his fellow agent with a small smile, the smile getting slightly bigger as Soul bumped back.

"Me and Silver will be going looking for Giovanni, everyone else is going to spread out and look for equipment to take back to try and fix him, and maybe help Silver more..." Arianna trailed off at that, glancing at her younger son, seemingly to check on him with a worried gaze.

"... Don't get distracted Mo-... Arianna..." Soul looked at his mother worriedly as well.

Shadow was keeping an eye on things in the labs as the scientists looked over the robot that came in, they tilt their head while watching, Gray made them very curious, such a anomaly to find a sentient robot in a Pokemon universe...

They wanted to ask questions, but held their tongue, as to not distract the work being done...

Though there was a different reason that they were here, in the lab.

There was a potential danger.

Especially as he seemed to be drifting in and out of consciousness while being worked on...

Arianna ran down the hall, clutching onto the bag with her heart pounding in her ears. Shady running beside her and keeping her under cover to try and circumvent anyone running into her too quickly

[I need to find him, I need to find him, please, please let him be safe...]

The hall turns, she nearly slides into a wall, catching herself with her hands. Shady glances at her worried.

"I... I'm fine. Don't worry. Ugh."

She quickly pushes off of the wall and continues down the turn of the hall.

[Something feels odd... I think he's down here... pressure... cold.]

What...? She didn't think that, it isn't cold... wait.
