> Check on Nero and the Audino.
> "Are you both alright?"

>The audino is petting Nero to his annoyance.
>Nero mews
>The audino nods.

[the old guy]

>"Well, lets keep going then!"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Well, lets keep going then!"

>"Yeah." Reisen agrees, "Let's find those hostages."
>_

[the old guy]

>Sneakily go to the hostages.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Sneakily go to the hostages.

>You tell everyone to "Just follow my moves, and sneak around, be careful not to make a sound!"

>You head down the passage, eventually coming across several people sitting tied up against the walls. You also notice a ton of pokeballs on a temporary table.
>Some people look at you as they hear your footsteps. Some of them look like local law enforcement, while most are wearing yellow hardhats.

>There's also a bespectacled man in a red hardhat among them.
>"Who are you?" he asks, "You're obviously not with them."
>_

[O4rfish]

>"We came in here to free the hostages. That's you, right?"

>Draw Hakurouken, and approach.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"We came in here to free the hostages. That's you, right?"

>Draw Hakurouken, and approach.

>He nods as you draw your other sword.
>You wonder if drawing it was necessary, considering you still have Roukanken unsheathed.

>"Thank goodness. It was starting to get uncomfortable." he says, "So do you know what's going on? There was a bit of a commotion earlier and most of the people guarding us pulled out."
>_

[O4rfish]

>Look at what the hostages are bound with.  If it's something normal, sheathe Roukanken, otherwise sheathe Hakurouken.
>Start cutting people free.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Look at what the hostages are bound with.  If it's something normal, sheathe Roukanken, otherwise sheathe Hakurouken.
>Start cutting people free.

>It appears to be simple rope, so you sheathe Roukanken and begin cutting the man free.
>He appears to be waiting for an answer.
>_

[O4rfish]

>"They're attacking the defenders as a distraction. That's why your guards left."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"They're attacking the defenders as a distraction. That's why your guards left."

>"Hmm... we can probably hit them from behind, then." He says as you cut the last of the bonds.
>_

[Tashi]

> Start liberating the other people.
> "That might be possible... Can you tell us all you might know?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

> Start liberating the other people.
> "That might be possible... Can you tell us all you might know?"

>You start moving on to the others while the man and Reisen start untying other people.
>"All I know is that they're interested in the ruins we discovered several days ago while digging a new branch of the mine" he says, "Beyond that, I don't know their motives, other than they seem to be affiliated with Team Galactic, or rather, what they used to be."
>_

[O4rfish]

>"How many of you can fight?"
>"Are those your pokeballs?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"How many of you can fight?"
>"Are those your pokeballs?"

>"A lot of us can, though the mine workers are less experienced in pokemon battling." he replies, "And yes, all our pokeballs are on that table."
>_

[Tashi]

> "I demand you give me a Gardevoir! Do it for my cool-looking bowl haircut!"
> "You think you can help us to strike them down at... whatever they are planning?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

> "I demand you give me a Gardevoir! Do it for my cool-looking bowl haircut!"
> "You think you can help us to strike them down at... whatever they are planning?"

>"Sorry, we don't have any down here"

>"Well, my main concern is getting these workers to safety first. Afterwards, I'll help retake the mine."
>_

[Tashi]

> "The entrance is still taken by them, but if we can strike them from the back..."
> Pause.
> "But if we do that, it's possible that the leaders of this doing escape if they notice it..."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

> "The entrance is still taken by them, but if we can strike them from the back..."
> Pause.
> "But if we do that, it's possible that the leaders of this doing escape if they notice it..."

>"Well some of us would have to stay down here and strike at the ruins in that case." the man says as he retrieves some pokeballs from the table, "Though hitting the ones at the entrance from behind is my intention."
>_

[Tashi]

> "Wait a second..."
> Look at the others.
> "Anyone else here wants to take them by surprise at the entrance too?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

> "Wait a second..."
> Look at the others.
> "Anyone else here wants to take them by surprise at the entrance too?"

>All the law enforcement officers nod.
>"It's not like we have any other choice if we want to get these miners to safety" one says.
>_

[Tashi]

> How many of them are?
> "How many pokemon each one of you have?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

> How many of them are?
> "How many pokemon each one of you have?"

>There's 9 people, 5 law enforcement officers, 3 miners, and red helmet man.

>"Three of us have Magnemite, the others have a Hoothoot and a Meditite"
>"I have a Machop and Mason over here has a Geodude." one of the miners speaks, "Gary is unarmed, and our foreman, Roark, probably has the strongest pokemon out of all of us here."
>_

[Tashi]

> Ponder having some of them joins us to attack the ones that are causing this...

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

> Ponder having some of them joins us to attack the ones that are causing this...

>You wonder if some of the law enforcement officers or the red helmet man will be willing to join you.
>_

[Tashi]

> Is Roark here?

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

> Is Roark here?

>You assume one of these men is named Roark.
>_

[Tashi]

> "Okay..."
> Look at Reisen and take a low but non-suspicious tone. But make sure to be suspicious enough.
> "Should we go by ourselves or take some of them to help us to attack the people that is inside this mine?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

> "Okay..."
> Look at Reisen and take a low but non-suspicious tone. But make sure to be suspicious enough.
> "Should we go by ourselves or take some of them to help us to attack the people that is inside this mine?"

>"^{_{If we went by ourselves we could freely use danmaku and abilities along with our pokemon if it came to that,}}" she replies, "^{_{but if we had help, then maybe we'll have less to deal with? It's your call.}}"
>_

[Tashi]

> "Yea, I was thinking that..."
> Pause.
> "Well, given that other situation... I think we need our abilities more than anything. Besides, this people already need a rest."
