Under attack by both Yungoos and Takumi, the Grimer finally goes down. Outside, it's gone awfully quiet... You each gain 21xp to spend amongst your Pokemon. Each trainer also gains 1 trainer xp. We are now out of initiative.

"I"ll check how their doing outside." Elise said as she went for the hole in the wall. Since they had a metagross she didn't expect them to have much trouble. But she should take a look just in case.

"Good idea." Ira says, pushing the button to bring the elevator back down again, hoping the machine is still there.
While waiting, he looks down at the wires in his hand. "Well, waste not want not."
He goes over to Lydia, squats down and begins tying her hands behind her back.

Kane looks at his siblings go off and complete their individual tasks, and realizes he doesn't have something to do. He kind of just stands around awkwardly, waiting for a bit of direction as his elders handle things from here.

As Ira ties Lydia up, he notices she snores surprisingly loudly. Maybe she should get that looked at. Outside, Elise can't help but pause as she notices Terry, Terri, and all their Pokemon except Metagross unconscious on the pavement, surrounded by mounds of unconscious Rattata and Raticate. Around them are clouds of Magnemite, with several Magneton, floating silently around. Several more Magneton are gently lowering Metagross, now unconscious, onto the ground. Overseeing it all is a massive, oddly-colored Magnezone, atop which is a man in a light hoodie and long, baggy pants. As he hears Elise approach, he turns to face her- revealing a startlingly young face- and does a double-take, clearly expecting someone else. It's clearly apparent why he's wearing such long clothes- he suffers from an extreme form of albinism. "Of course he doesn't say how many there are," the man says to himself with exasperation before addressing Elise directly "Alright, what's your gimmick?" The Magnezone

This was most definitely not the scene Elise was expecting to see. She didn't knew if the man was with the people inside or not, but she couldn't take any chances. So for now she decided to play along and hope her brothers didn't come outside in the meantime.
"My Gimmick?" Elise asks as she's still looking around, moving from Terry(or Terri, she's not sure.) to the other one then to the metagross, then to the horde of magnet pokémon. Not quite suppressing her look of surprise.

The young man makes a gesture, and the Magnemite and Magneton stop what they're doing and turn to face Elise. "Your gimmick," the man says again. "Y'know, your power. You control minds? Telekinesis? Hexes? What?"

"Powers?" Elise tilted her head a bit to think what he just said.
"I... can sing? I don't have any special powers." She said as she turned back to young man.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" She asked him in turn.

At the man's urging, the Magnezone floats over, closer to Elise. Leaping off, he says "Well, my name is Brandon. I cam here because two of my, er, friends said they were being attacked by a psychic. I found these two kids-" here he indicates Terri and Terry "-using their powers, so I thought perhaps they were the ones. Obviously, I was mistaken." Psychic? Friends? Hexes? Suddenly, it clicks. The nerd inside called Brandon, and Brandon is now here to duke it out with Kane! Inside, as Ira steps back from his excellent handiwork, Lydia and Conrad begin to wake up. "Ahh, that was a good nap," Conrad says, yawning and stretching. Lydia tries to stretch too, but fails due to the binding. She looks down at herself in confusion, and then at Conrad in unmitigated anger. "Conrad, what did you do to me?!" she snarls, struggling to escape. "It wasn't me!" Conrad protests.

Unaware of the confrontation his sister is having outside, Ira stands over Lydia.
"Nope, that was us. We beat you, I tied you up. Figured you and I should have a little chat." He maintains eye contact with Lydia almost constantly, only taking breaks to glare momentarily at Conrad to keep him still and silent, and speaks with utter seriousness. Despite his age, the effect is rather intimidating.
"Now, the police are gonna be here soon and you're probably thinking you can play the innocent party, attacked by a bunch of hooligans." He gives a joyless smile. "But I'm sure you're smart enough to realize that'd be a waste of time. After all, you were working on improving it, right - getting it to work on smarter 'mon?" Risky move, showing you know things you aren't supposed to - can come across more desperate than unnerving. Still, probably worth taking the chance. "So that means you've got a whole bunch of notes and blueprints around here that'll tell the police exactly what you were doing. So, I think it'd be best for everyone if you just admitted it and came quietly, don't you?" He finishes his spiel with a note of finality - that there was no argument against it.
He backs off a couple of steps and waits for a moment to see how they respond.

Kane blinks a bit, intimidated. He doesn't often get to see this side of Ira. I mean, he was too used to the kind hearted big brother who cried at the episode of Harley and friends when sgt. sugarplum said goodbye to harley city for good. But Kane certainly didn't like all this intimidating going around while he just sat off on the sidelines. He decided to contribute, which in his mind apparently means walking up to the nerdy guy and poking him in between the eyes with his toy sword

As Conrad attempts to slap the sword away, Lydia gives a smile to Ira- though on her face, it looks like she's about to vomit. "I think I should be the one making the threats," she says, nodding towards the doorway. Brandon, hearing Lydia shrieking at Conrad like a peeved banshee, has pushed past Elise with his Magnezone, and is staring at this scene with something akin to shock. Lydia is bound hand and foot with electrical cables, Conrad is getting poked in the face with a six foot foam sword held by a kid dressed as some kind of anime character, and there's another kid who looks like detective Dick Tracy presiding over the whole circus. Ira and Kane, for their part, see a man with pure white skin and hair and red eyes flip his hood off and stare at this boondoggle while behind him, swarms of Magnemite, several Magneton, and a large Magnezone spill into the room. As the albino tries to find words to speak with, Conrad points to Kane and says "Boss! This is the psychic I was talking about AND WILL YOU STOP POKING ME IN THE FACE KID!? PLEASE?!" The albino man shakes his head once, and the shock on his face is replaced with an expression of grim determination that you assumed to be the sole property of Ira. "Electric terrain," he says quietly to a Magneton. While the 'mon covers the floor with tingly electricity, he focuses his attention on Kane. "Alright, psychic," the albino says, "anything you want to say before we exact some revenge?" Ira Albinism is a naturally-occurring genetic disorder, where the skin fails to produce the correct amount of melanin in the hair, skin, and/or eyes, resulting in a pallid or pure white appearance. This man appears to be suffering from an extreme version of it. Albinism is not necessarily connected to psychic abilities, though many famous psychics in the world were albino. Kane He looks like the Pale Demon from episode 504! Or was it episode 405? It was the one with the Savage Son of the Supreme Samurai of the Seventy Seven Seas, you remember that.

Kane continued to poke the nerd in the face while he assessed what the screaming angry man wanted. Something about him seemed . . . dark. Dark and familiar. This demonic presence, terrifying aura, monstrous red eyes. He's a true villain! This is perfect! Kane had been practicing external monologues on the ride over to the island, and now he had his opportunity! Kane poses, and points his sword at the angry man
"Do you know why I keep this sheath on my blade? This is the catalyst for my powers, gifted to me by the noble samurai of generations past. This sheath was created by a group of shaman, designed to eat away at it's strength as to not destroy everything near it. I rarely let myself go all out like this but. . ."
Kane unsheathes his sword. It's clearly plastic
"For you , I'd make an exception"
Kane then attempts a Hypnosis on the scary man

As the man staggers, the lightning laid down in the room flares, zapping him. Though the Hypnosis hit, he straightens up, clearly not asleep. "Fun fact about Electric Terrain, psychic," the man says, smiling humorlessly, "you can't put us to sleep while it's active. And a fun fact about you? Your powers aren't tied to a toy sword."

Kane is caught off guard. As cool as he was sure he was just now, this wasn't quite going the way he was hoping. He turns to Ira
"Umm Ira? That was kind of my one trick. Thoughts?"

Ira nods and glares up at the man, stepping in front of Kane in full "protective big brother" mode. "Well, aren't you special? But, not good at recognizing people, since you want "revenge" against a guy you've never seen before. Who's also a kid." He raises an eyebrow in slight mockery.
"And if it's just about being psychic... well, I can see where you're coming from, but er," he gesture to the table on which Conrad and Lydia were working on the device, "don't you think that, when you're making machines to mind control 'mon yourself, you've kinda lost the high ground on that?" he holds his fingers slightly apart. "Just a little bit?
"Besides, weird powers or not, he's a good kid. Doesn't use his powers wrong. Only on people nasty enough to brainjack 'mon." He gives a pointed glare to Conrad. "And he's also my brother. So, you want him?" He steps further between the albino and Kane and hardens his stance, bracing himself for attack. "You've gotta go through me."

Kane was awestruck. Even when they were little, Ira was always the coolest when standing up to people. Maybe he needed to get an Ira costume? No he asked you not to last time you took his clothes. Whatever. Kane started cheering in support of Ira from the back. Potentially killing the tension, but it was well intended at the very least

The albino turns his glare towards Ira as Elise enters this standoff. "How many books have you read just by looking at the cover, kid?" he asks. "Must be quite a few. No, that machine was invented to defeat psychics, like your freak of a brother. Like the freaks of nature outside."

Kane leans back and starts picking gunk out of his ears
"If that's what it's supposed to do, then it must be a sucky machine. It didn't seem to defeat me"

The man gives you a smile that makes your skin crawl. "For someone supposed to be so smart, you're so stup-" he pauses, tilting his head. You can hear the sound of sirens approaching. He turns back to you all. "We'll finish this later," he growls, directing his Magnemite to collect Conrad and Lydia while the Magneton menace you. "Meantime, kid, you better think twice about defending your brother. Make sure you're on the right side of this conflict."
