RE: The Great Cookie Capers! - Xenoic - 02-17-2017
As Windos and Phantom gets transported with others the Pirates could not attack them in time before the Mean Look wears off.
The Pirate Admiral , who is still recovering from being knocked out, said, "Blasted rangers got away.... Launch the flares to signal the retreat to the resort!"
*Flares launch as the platoons of Swabones and Tubareels exit from the haze with the remaining survivors*
The admiral then says, " We shall discuss our next set of plans in conquering all of Tandor's seas."
Meanwhile......
Xenoic and Sable land on a remote island (That is far south west of the Ninja Village) and after so Dupli-Yata went back to being a regular Duplicat. (Red box in picture)
![[Image: Tandor_map_5thgen.png]](https://s1.postimg.org/6xyzaitr3/Tandor_map_5thgen.png)
They walk towards a broken town and enter the building named Larkspur Laboratories.
Xeno sends out Yatagaryu outside with Archilles and Xenoqueen to chill and walk around the cities with a mini-robot that relays information and photos when sent from the base.
As they pass by the remnants of the genetic research facility, Xenoic and Co. input a password into the wall which opens a bunker door which leads to Xenoic's Base of Operations. Before entering, he allows Seikamater to pop out of the pokeball and make her way to a part of the city that is covered in webs.
Duplicat proceeds to hop into a cardboard box laying around the room and sleeps as Sable takes off his gear and proceeds to clean his collection of megastones. (The collection of Megastones are massive and each one labeled with the corresponding pokemon)
I (Xenoic) say out loud, "Good job on the mission and retrieving this very special briefcase.
""Im sure you guys are wondering whats possibly so valuable that I myself had to take personal action to retrieve this."
Duplicat then opens one eye and Sable stops brandishing the megastones for a second. The pokemon outside gather around the mini-robot thats relaying the information
*Xenoic opens the briefcase and pulls out a bunch of vials containing a mysterious liquid onto a desk*
*Xenoic takes a picture and relays it to the others outside with an audio link (The pokemon)*
"This ,my friends, is the key to unlocking the potential of genetic research that was conducted in this very city.
The vials contain genetic dna of various pokemon like Dramsama or a Tancoon. The facility here was constructed to modify humans and pokemon alike to maximize biological potential. Unfortunately, the labs were shut down for unethical experiments and illegal pokemon trafficking before they could figure out how to imbue people with pokemon abilities and how to improve upon a pokemon's genetic structure."
As Xenoic continues his speech; he twirls a pink colored vial he pulls out from a special compartment in the desk.
"Never forget I was one of the few to be experimented on in these laboratories with this vial containing the DNA of Dramsama which funnily enough allowed me to see through her (Phantom's Dramsama) illusion. Some of these vials were under Ranger custody after they stormed the lab and some were sent out to safe places where they are stored. Well now that we have gathered most of these vials I say we can begin to improve our genetics which shall give us the edge to take down anybody who stands in our way to riches!"
The pokemon roar in agreement as the sun sets.

Unbeknownst to Xenoic and his follower, they were being spied on. During the frantic confrontation with, the Cookie Thief was able to summon his Dramsama to tail the Sableye while they were getting away. Being a rather stealthy Pokémon by nature, it was able to follow them all the way to there base of operations undetected.
Right now, hiding comfortably in the shadows of the facility, the Dramsama heard all the details of that troublesome traitor's plan. The Pokémon Genome project getting revived? How very interesting. It seems like there will be even more adventure in store for them. The Master will want to here this...
After Xenoic finished his speak, the Dramsama vanished without a trace.

*Hugs them gently, giving them the comfort they need*
Do you even need to ask? Of course I'll stay with you. I'm not letting you out of my sight after this sodding mess. The cat is out of the bag regarding our relationship, so we need not hide from your subordinates.
*Grimaces in pain from his headache, before smiling*
As for my health, I've been through much worse scraps. You should know, since you were the cause of quite a few injuries of mine! Ah, the memories...
*Space distorts around them, unveiling Phantom's Office*
I thought you might be more comfortable here then at home. While you were accosted by those hellions here, you spend far more time at your desk. Too much time; I can't even count the time I've found you asleep in your chair! Ohohohoho-uuurgh.
*Shake away his headache, before taking a set in Phantom's comfy chair*
Well, let's take a breather before we start digging for answers. Since you rangers were right in the thick of things, perhaps you should call them in? I know this one is out of it currently-*Glances meanfully at the still unconscious Ranger*, but I know I saw another agent trying to nab me.
*Starts to fiddle with his jacket, until he pulls out a wine uncorker, and opens the bottle of wine*
*Opens one of Phantom's desk drawers, and pulls out a couple of glasses*
Ahh, Chateau Margaux 2009, a fine vintage indeed! Come over and sit down, so that we may share a glass.
*Pats the chair he is sitting in, inviting his love to come over*
RE: The Great Cookie Capers! - Spiritmon - 02-17-2017
While in his disguise, Spiritmon hear everything. In the right moment he need to act. But not Now.
RE: The Great Cookie Capers! - Lord Windos - 02-18-2017
(You know, we assumed that you were still with us when we 'teleported' out of the wreckage, but that can be worked around!)
RE: The Great Cookie Capers! - Xenoic - 02-21-2017
I say, "Its showtime!"
*A machine fires up and it whirrs into action by warming up*
"This machine has been streamlined and made more efficient over the years.. I call it the Genome Sequencer."
*A pod hooked up to the machine pops open and slots open up next to the pod which requests a genome*
"Duplicat you are required to analyze the genetic structure of these vials and restructure them to accept foreign dna*
*Duplicat hops out of its box and proceed to lick and play with the vials of dna*
"Anyone want snacks while we wait?"

RE: The Great Cookie Capers! - Lord Windos - 02-22-2017
"Oh certainly, if you are offering," a person calls out, their tone carrying faint amusement at the proceedings. Surprised, many of the Pokémon gathered turn to discover that a some unknown Human has somehow inserted themselves into the group. Standing around 6 foot 5 inches tall, they were cloaked in a thick, dark green cowl, and had a Luxelong mask concealing their identity. Their accent was deep and thick, yet strangely alluring, containing an affability not thought at first glance. The person made an enigmatic figure overall.
Noticing everyone was staring at them, they chuckled, and said, "My, my, all I just want is a simple treat. I would normally help myself, but I don't want to be a cookie thief, now, do I? Especially since that role is already filled! I'd rather not be a cookie cutter copy of them, thank you." The stranger then turned to address their leader, clearly enjoying being the center of attension despite his obscuring wardrobe. "Ah, but it appears I erred in not introducing myself properly. You may call me Tianlong. As for who I am, you can say that I am an...entrepreneur. I've been watching you efforts for some time, and I have to admit, I'm quite impressed. It takes quite a lot of determination and cunning to use and abuse the Ranger Union so blatantly AND piss off the number one Ghost Trainer in the world in one go!"
This time the figure laughed, impressed with the audacity of the 'leader'. Then, raising a conceled hand to them, they spoke once more, this time in a more professional tone of voice. "Well, seeing as that has gotten you precisely were you wanted to be, I can't fault your methods. Since you are so close to realizing your plans, I'd like to offer a helping hand in matters. I'm interested to see what comes from this, if you need a reason why." Tianlong then tilted their head, and added as an afterthought, "Oh, and how about those snacks?"
RE: The Great Cookie Capers! - Xenoic - 02-22-2017
Xenoic looks at the man then cracks a smile.
He then takes one of the cookies off the plate and says, "Impressive how you got here, there are sensors everywhere... and fitting how your name matches the mask you bear."
*Xenoic puts the cookie down onto a tiny plate and hands it off to Tianlong*
*The pokemon relax a bit but still are watching him carefully*
Xenoic then speaks in a more carefree manner, "You seem to have been following my progress for a time now, and you ,my friend, seem familiar in a way. I have heard stories of odd sightings of a masked man during the whole Power Plant Crisis. There have been instances where the Nuclear Pokemon in certain areas were annihilated by a pokemon that used moves that were both of the fairy and dragon typing. Mysterious gift of a pokemon ,spoken in only in legends and tales, to a boy in a pokemart. That boy became the Hero of Tandor for stopping the Curie herself as the stories go.
*Xenoic grabs a cookie and takes a bite out of it*
Xenoic finishing his rambling, "Ah but these are just speculations from conspiracy theorists and have no basis behind them. There are far more reasonable theories out there to explain these events." "Now, we could work together... But I would like to hear more details on why should I cooperate with you?", Xenoic says in a sudden much colder and soul-piercing tone.
RE: The Great Cookie Capers! - Lord Windos - 02-22-2017
Tianlong, after hearing the Leader's knowledge of his activities and his threat, suddenly busted out laughing, like its the funniest thing in the world. "Hahahahahahahahaha! Not one to beat around the bush, eh? Though, with those speculations, this one wonders if you are just aiming in the dark, and trying to hit something?" Tianlong shrugged, then walked forward to grab a cookie. Holding it to his face, he gazes at it, as if trying to divine its secrets, before the cookie vanished. Crunching sounds could be heard, as the stranger appears to be busy eating his biscuit. How in blazes...?
"Mmmmm, nice recipe you got here. If nothing else, you are a great baker on top of a world class operator. Certainly sweetens the deal, don't you say?" Tianlong gazes curiously at the leader, and decided to stop beating around the bush, and get to the point already. "That cautious nature of yours is a good thing, though, and one you should cultivate if you are planning to go 'big', but I digress. Why should you trust me, I wonder? Well, as they say, 'Better show than tell.' "
Reaching into their cowl, they retrieved a vial of strange, shimmering green liquid. Tilting the vial so that it could capture the most sunlight, they said, "You are trying to gather DNA samples for the now revived Genome Project, correct? This vial of 100% Zygarde DNA might be some use to you, then." Starring at the mesmerizing liquid swirl around, they turned their sights on leader. "Xenoic, I can supple you with this and many more Legendary DNA samples if you agree to work with me. I'll also provide much more spacious accomodations for the continued R&D of the project. I'll even throw in a few million in funding, just because I'm a generous person." Tilting their head Xenoic, before offering the vial to Xenoic. "Interested, partner?"
RE: The Great Cookie Capers! - PhantomUnderYourDesk - 03-02-2017
--- Interlude, back at the Ranger HQ ---
*glances at the surroundings, as they begin to take clear shapes again* Oh, you brought us back to the HQ? ...How neat! We can sleep over right here in my office... That is, if you don't mind the destroyed door and are really sure that you're alright...
*chuckles a bit at the thought, before realising that their partner isn't by her side anymore, but is rather working towards a „more intimate setting“ already* *stares at them for a moment, but finally comes over to take a seat next to him … hestitantly leans into them as well, like if the Chief Ranger was afraid of being seperated from the protection withing the next second ...*
Please send the Ranger you're chained to back home, dear. He might want to wake up and recover at his own place for now, plus we deserve a bit privacy if you wish to indulge in the wine you brought with you...
--- While being abducted or suffering smaller injuries was all part of the job as the Chief of a bunch of Rangers, it was time to finally put an end to this for today. Enough action for a day, so much happened this day... damn, it will be a long report on this mission. Being unconsiousness for most of the time and having a blurred vision due to all the fog an' haze that lurked on the remains of the pirate ship wasn't helpful at all, she will need to hear out the observations and actions of the Rangers involved as well as the Cookie Thief's point of view first and then carry it all together to a clear chronological report.
But well, there will be plenty of time for that tomorrow... Like if the others weren't exhausted by the mission and alarmed by the treachery in the own rangs. They deserve a night to sleep over all this, calm down a little, and look at the matters with a refreshed mind the next day.
It was dark and cooled off in the office, with only a standard lamp glowing in the corner next to the door (Ah... still a pity to look at the pieces of it, scattered all over the entrance). Silver took its usual place on a black velvet blanket on top of a low cupboard in front of the desk and seemed to enjoy the atmosphere. Quietness dwelled in the whole room at this time. ---
*just as she was about to accept the wine offered by their love, something carefully nudged the Chief from behind, causing both of them to turn around* HYDREIGON! You're still here? Did you wait for me to return here all the time...? Oh my, thank you! *it growls slightly, as its Master caresses the main one of its three heads, happy about such a loyality towards its owner*
Ah, I know... You probably feel guilty... You think that you failed, and that it's all your fault. It's not, really... I should have remembered earlier about that one detail that has caused a ruccus in the first place... I will fix it right away tomorrow then.
*realises the puzzled look I receive from their partner* Ehehe... I owe you an explanation, don't I...? But you go first! Like, why did I wake up below deck of a ship, with a Pirate Captain about to murder me the next few moments, and what has happened to your fine suit? I bet you looked splendid in it...
