Kane bowed in return to the noble pawniard and offered up a pokeball
"Noble warrior! I ask that you accompany me and my friends on our noble quest to bring the power of Nio all across the island"
While doing so, the young boy looked over to the pair elise was talking to
"Hey . . . weren't you guys at Nio-con recently? Weren't one of you fighting with a 12 year old for a poster signed by Takashi Arigama?"

Ira blinks as he recognizes the names of the reporters. He's about to rush over and greet them with all the respect and admiration they deserve when he hears Gabby tell Elise ignore them.
Steeling himself, he resumes his steadfast stance ready to aid, though he is vibrating a little. It's an unusual thing for Ira to be starstruck, but apparently these two can do it.

Gabby just sighs when Kane looks at them. "So much for suspension of disbelief," she says, sounding a little flustered. As Ty turns the camera off, the two emerge from hiding. Gabby looks at Kane and says "Yeah, we were. And we would've gotten it too, if someone would have listened to me." She looks pointedly at Ty, who just shrugs. "What? I'm not going to hit a kid over a poster." Gabby gives him a glare before looking back at you. "Anyway, we heard about all the weird stuff going on here, so we decided to come have a look. Y'know, get the inside scoop. But until today, everything just seemed... normal. Then we saw a Tangrowth kidnapping Spinda, and you kids chasing it, and that seemed like as good a lead as any." She gives a friendly smile. "Anyway, I'm Gabby, and this is my trusty cameraman Ty. Who are you?" Meanwhile, Pawniard examines the Pokeball, and upon ascertaining that it is suitably heroic, taps the button, allowing itself to be caught. Kane Pawniard will probably want to go back to get its Nio hoard. Also: Pawniard Level: 10 Nature: Adamant Type: Dark (see quick cloak) Hit Points: 20/44; burned HP 8 Atk 20 Def 11 SpAtk 2 SpDef 4 Spd 10
Abilities Quick Cloak

"I know who you are!" Ira says quickly. "You're the guys who broke the Space 'Mon story wide open, of course I know! You guys are icons to truth seekers everywhere, how could anyone not..." He stops himself, taking a deep breath to calm himself down. "I'm Ira, this is my little sister Elise and my little brother Kane. We're here for the summer and... well, I mean, I don't think anyone intended for us to... but you're right, there's some messed up stuff going on here and we're... well, I'm trying to get to the bottom of it. If there's any way we can help, just let me know!"

Gabby shrugs. "Well, to be honest, we were looking to make a documentary, or a web series, which is why we were filming your battle. Snooping doesn't really pay the bills..." She then snaps her fingers, getting an idea. "Wait! Do you have any leads on the Spinda-stealing Tangrowth? That could be something! We could help expose whatever it is!"

Once Elise recognized the duo she looked surprised for a second before recovering and turning her attention back to the fight, that just ended.
"Sorry for ruining your documentary!" Elise smiled apologetic. She sure took a good moment to notice something for once.
"We were following them, but then we ran into this little buddy here and we were stopped by that onix and those donkeys."

Kane takes the pawniard out of his ball and holds him to the sky lion king style
"His name is Hiro, and he's the one destined to save us all"

Ira shakes his head as he realizes. "Yeah, some kid contacted us by drone - we were trying to track him down when the Onix and Mudbray attacked." He carefully leaves Hiro out of that recounting, not wanting to tread on Kane's moment.

"No worries, kiddo. It was just a thing on Pokemon native to Alola," Ty says to Elise as he films Rotom. Rotom, for its part, is snapping pictures of the fallen Onix. Gabby, meanwhile, is listening to Ira speak with interest. "The plot thickens!" She thinks for a moment before saying "Well, if the person controlling the drone flew it through here, then, if we want to solve the mystery, we should follow the drone." She looks around, and then notices Hiro is still burned; she tosses a Rawst berry to the Pawniard, who catches it and begins munching away. Hiro is no longer burned.

Kane puts Hiro on his shoulders and runs full sprint back to his cave to help him collect his things

Hiro has a lot of stuff to be packed. And all of it has to be packed oh-so-carefully; luckily, most of it is still in its original packaging, which makes it easier, but still, multiple trips will need to be made.

"Everyone Ready? Then let's go after them!" The young girl said enthusiastically, weaving her arms around.

Ira nods, happy to be able to go at last. "He might have gotten a head start by now, but from the looks of the kid, he's probably not too fast. Besides, with how much junk food he had around him, tracking him should be simple - you ready, Chase?"
Chase nods and takes the lead, sniffing at the ground and the air to get the best sense of where his quarry is.

Kane sets a magical barrier around the cave entrance (basically keep out tape) and carries about as much as he can as he explains to Hiro that they'll need to come back at another time to acquire the rest of his belongings. Kane and Hiro soon catch back up with Ira and Elise.

Kane rejoins his siblings just as the trail leads through a switchback curve. The curve itself appears to have been carefully carved to fool people into thinking it was a dead end- and it might have fooled you too, if it wasn't for Chase (being that low to the ground has its advantages). Beyond the switchback curve are a set of dilapidated, rusty metal doors, at least two decades old, leading into a finished concrete interior. Moss, vines, and small plants grow inside the structure, and the floor is lined with cracks, though it looks stable. beyond the front doors is a short hall that ends in a freight elevator shaft; you can see thick metal cables leading down into the darkness below. The lights set into the walls don't seem to be working any more suggesting that this place has been abandoned for some time. Ty is filming all of this with his camera, careful not to miss any detail. Gabby runs a hand on the rusted door, which is more than three inches thick. "This is built like a bunker," she says in awe. "What is this place? Why was it built?" Rotom's systems hum for a moment before it says "This place doesn't appear on any internet searches. What do you think, Ira?" Elise+Kane Though your tastes in anime differ, your favored genres would agree on this: this place looks like a villain's secret lair.

Ira hums. "Can't say for certain, but I doubt it's anything good. Looks like the home of someone who either wants to survive an apocalypse or cause one. Might be a disused government facility, but no idea what it used to be for."
He looks around, certain that he'll see cameras pointed at them, but wanting to check if they're still functional or if they're as dilapidated as the rest of the facility.

The rock bounces off the inert camera. They seem as old and dilapidated as the building they're supposed to watch, and marks on them suggest wild Pokemon have used these cameras as chew toys. Kane's voice echoes through the hall and down the shaft, but there is no reply, except for the wind.

Ira nods. "Right, everyone behind me! If anything comes at us, get to cover, I'll hold them off if I have to." And with that, he leads the way into the facility, his eyes darting about, searching for hidden dangers.

The hall is only about thirty feet or so long, ending in the dilapidated shaft. Protuberances from the walls suggest security equipment, but they are so dilapidated that they are useless. And no, there are no secret doors. Or are there? Roll Perception if your paranoia won't let it rest!
