"Well that's exactly why. They've never been widely adopted due to their short range, disorientation, power requirements and side effects. Not even Team Galactic used them after they switched leadership - and they have literally one competent employee." Marcus says, remembering finding Saturn's emails on the subject. "Where were you that used them anyway? After Bill's articles in the Tech Journals insurance companies have refused to have anything to do with anyone who uses them." He says looking at Seth and narrowing his eyes, noting the symbol on his hands.

Seth put his hand over his mouth as he remembered that most building don't use teleporters. He looked around and though about what to say. Seth got up and closed the door then retured to his bed. "Well darn that's what I get for talking so much today. Look you seem nice so don't yee be getting all mad at me so quick now. I be part of Team Aqua and the Hideout had quite a few teleporters. I'm going to leave that to sink in." Seth said in a sad but proud tone of voice.

"And here I thought you just liked Unown a whole bunch." Marcus says sardonicaly. "You heard me call myself a mad scientist right? I learned basically everything I know from breaking into Team Galactic HQ and stealing things. Team Aqua at least had semi noble goals before going off the deep end. Team Galactic was always about Cyrus' ego." He pauses and thinks for a moment.
"Mind you, Saturn is really trying to turn them into a proper company that contributes for society. They only had six fires last month." Hesays, waiting for Seth's reaction.

Seth looked at Marcus with reassured confidence. "Your the first person outside of Team Aqua that hadn't shunned me for being part of Team Aqua. Thank you. Also Archie has gotten better no more stealing sort of anyway and we actually do help restore habitats for ocean Pokemon. They also do a lot of research on many things." Seth said before pausing to think about the "Unkown" thing. "Unkown? Are you talking about the Mark of Kyogre?" Seth asked looking at the back of his hands.

"You've never heard of the Unown? The alphabet pokemon? Huge power when they gather in large numbers, nigh useless otherwise." He pauses and shakes his head. "Look it up in your dex. Is the mark a tattoo, or did something legitimately supernatural happen to you?"

Seth hesitated for a moment then had a thought "Screw it might as well go for broke.". Seth held out his hand and the mark begun to glow as water flowed out of it forming a ball of water.

"Wow." Marcus says, eyes darting between his dropped pokedex and Seth. "I am going to take so many notes once I'm certain this is spyware free." He says gesturing at his pokedex. After a few moments he frowns in realisation.
"You going to tell Mae? She'll be travelling with us as well."

Seth looked a bit worried. "One I don't talk about either of these things for fear of being shunned and two I'm quite fine with allowing you to study my powers but good luck Team Aqua been doing it for years. If you think it's that important I guess I be ok with telling her." Seth said as he dissipated the water ball and the water returned into the marking.

"She's extremely passionate about her cause. I don't know how well known Team Aqua's reformation is, but if she knows of it she'll accept you in a heartbeat. That said, you can always wait until you get to know her better. I won't be telling her unless you get kidnapped by Team Magma or something." Marcus says.
"And to be honest, I'm less interested in replicating the cause of your abilities than I am in how it might apply to my own studies. One of my dreams is to create life afterall."

"I guess your right. I'll tell her when we get onto the road." Seth said laying back on his bed.

As the other two have enlightening conversation in the other room, Mae assumes anyway, she certainly can't hear; she heads straight for bed. Despite the relative warmth of the area, she is quick to get into night clothes and under a few blankets before the shivering starts.
She looks up to ceiling, unable to sleep (She did get some in the car afterall), but without any reason to be up. Sync has already 'shut down' next to her bed, resting quietly on the floor.
Well, what now, Mae. You've basically dragged two innocents into your one-girl war and insulted them immediately, cause that was a 'great' idea... And all for what, just so you have something resembling friends?
Mae sighs.
I'm over thinking this. I need some rest, the real action starts tomorrow.

"Your call. Sleep well." Marcus says, rolling over and immediately falling asleep.

Seth fell asleep quite quickly after his talk with Marcus. Soon he was dreaming. Suddenly Seth awoke gasping for air in a silent panic. He sat up looking around. "That nightmare again." Seth whispered to himself looking at his PokeNav for the time. Seth looked over towards his roommate who he hope he didn't wake. Seth quietly got up and got journal out of his bag. Sitting back on his bed he began to write down what he could remember. "Let's see I was on a boat that was sinking. It was raining and I got washed out to sea by a huge wave. Then I drowned? That physically impossible... I wish I had a Munna. I hate this!" Seth wrote down in his dream journal. Seth looked out the window at the night sky. "I should get back to sleep." Seth thought to himself as he put away his journal and layed back down. With that he fell back to sleep.

Night comes and goes uneventfully, and Mae wakes to the sound of heavy scratching on her door. At first if she is resistant, she tries to ignore it. Eventually, however, it grows overbearingly obnoxious. Looking over at the clock, it reads 6:12 am.

Mae stares death at the door, hoping for a second that pure willpower will scare away whatever is trying to mess with her. When it doesn't happen, she sighs and jumps out of the bed. She heads over to the door, before her body starts shivering. That's what she gets for being half awake.
Shitshitshit I hate this!
She dashes back for her coat, and puts it on over her sleeping attire, and rubs her arms a bit against her body until the shaking stops. Now fully awake thanks to her handicap, she heads to the door and opens it to see what the scratching is.

"Mrow?" The Meowth from last night barely turns to regard you as it walks across your room and jumps up onto the windowsill, right as the sun begins to rise. Faint purring sounds begin emanating from it.

Seth is woken up by his PokeNav alarm around 6:00. He forgot to turn it off but he really didn't care to much. Seth yawned and sat up. Foster got up as well and turned of the alarm. "Thanks matey." Seth said as he got up and got dressed for the day.

Marcus wakes up shortly after Seth, lazily getting ready. After thanking Beth he ducks outside to give Jupiter some excercise and training.

Seth walked out of the room and looked down the hall. "Good morning Mae." Seth said as he notes Mae was up and walked over.

"Well just come on in then..."
Mae's head follows the pokemon as it comes inside. She was thinking of following it to see exactly why it decided she needed less sleep when Seth walked over.
"Morning. If you excuse me I just had a rude awakening and must get ready."
She closes the door before Seth can pursue further and begins to change for the day.
