Guy looked at Phi questioningly, "Honestly I have no idea what's going on anymore."

"SCREE!" A 6'5" woman barges through the front door, looks down, grabs her brother, and throws him out the entryway. "Hello, Professors! Sorry about my brother. He's a butt. I can explain."
After watching Deneb and Au Contraire teleport away, Lani realized that she was just as uninvited as her brother. A green-haired girl stared on.
"...Later." She was once again solemn. She sat down and waited patiently, plaintively, for her turn.

Leif eyed the door to the Pokemon Lab. He had wanted to wait for Harold to attack. Inside it sounded like a commotion. But Stygian had wanted nothing to do with waiting. Something about being too sober for this shit.
Leif ignored the thoughts. Stygian would stick to the plan and kidnap the Professors. The rest was up to Leif.
Leif strolled into the Pokemon Lab. He acted distressed.
"Aunt Lily! Have you heard what they're accusing me of?!" he shouted above the others. "Please, you must use your influence! I'm innocent!"

" I have not heard, Lief. But whatever it is, you probably did it." Lilith turned her back on her nephew, "And such audacity! You seriously come asking help? You are weak, Lief. You must either overcome trials on your own or fall to them. You will receive no aid from me."
Guy lightly nudges Phi with his elbow, "Like the situation was calm enough, right? Now we have family drama going on."

"But Auntie," Leif was hardly concealing the hatred he held for the woman anymore, "how ever will I get out of this situation?!"
Leif saw it. There. The PC was just against the wall. He edged closer.
"You know, Lilith, if you weren't such a cunt, I'm sure my father would still talk to you," Lief spat.
He grabbed a flashdrive from his pocket, slamming it into the PC. Before anyone could stop him, he executed the program from his PokeGear.
The Lialta region's PC system had been severed.

Stygian was hunched over outside the Pokemon Lab. Honchkrow had just flown off to do its part, and now Stygian needed to find a way to get all those assholes outside the lab. An idea struck him suddenly and he grinned. He let out his Houndoom and pointed at the window, whispering in the Pokemon's ear. The Houndoom nodded, opened its mouth, and sent a fire blast crashing through a window. The fire burst into the unoccupied room and hit the ceiling, activating the fire alarm and sprinklers almost instantly. Stygian danced on the balls of his feet. This would definitely get them outside.

Looking up as the upset man began shouting over the commotion she was now embarrassed to have caused, Lani sat aghast as the man used one of her least favorite words to describe the woman he had just called his aunt.
She had no idea who this man was.
"Just what do you think you're doing?!" she inquired, running over to the PC. "I...I can't access anything! The system has crashed! I've never seen anything like this...Nothing I'm doing is working." Suddenly, the sprinklers went off in the lab, soaking her yet again. Her voice cracking, she was certain this was the second worst day of her life.
Feeling she had little left to lose, she ran from the building, hollering, “Everyone! Out! You! Tiny man! What have you done?! You’re going down!”
Little did she know this could make for an excellent distraction for the man waiting outside.

Leif Laurel couldn't believe the luck he was having. This trainer wanted to waste time with a battle? The Grass-type trainer was happy to oblige. Stygian would have no problems grabbing the two professors they actually needed with this battle distracting everyone.
"So the girly-boy wants a battle, eh?" Leif mocked Lani. "This shouldn't be too tough. I'll try not to get your skirt dirty."
Leif grabbed a Pokeball from his belt. "Ludicolo, let's show him how the Elite Four does things!"
Challenge Accepted!

“I know you just spent your energy flying me here, but I know you can do this! Go! Jubilee!” Her Togekiss nodded in tired agreement. Listening to her suddenly-unstable friend sobbing as she flew her all the way across the region put more than enough of a physical and mental toll on the poor thing. Nevertheless, she caught a Lum Berry thrown her way at the last second from the young researcher. “Elite Four?! Great. And my skirt is already a mess, thanks to your fire alarm tricks. I don’t know who you are or why you’re here doing and saying these terrible things, but I won’t sit idly by!”
Ludicolo danced forward, bouncing in a beat only known to him. This wasn’t what Togekiss had expected. Incensed at the simultaneous gleeful display and nonchalance, Jubilee turned her frustrations into a purpose for action. The Happiness Pokémon that brought peace wherever she went was livid.
Taking a direct hit from Fake Out, the rage only built. She couldn’t let Lani down. She Wished that she would do her best. Following up with an Air Slash, she tried to dodge an Ice Beam, but failed. Her wish came true; she didn’t sustain any damage for long, shaking it off.
Leif was fuming. All eyes were on the trainers. “I’m glad you learned basic type match-up,” the Elite Four member hid his frustration with taunts. “You might even win this, if I’m nice!”
“Jubilee?! Why are you,” Lani began, seeing her usually calm Togekiss acting out, using moves without instruction. “Why are you doing this…? What does it matter…Keep at it, girl!” Jubilee looked back in agreement.
A flurry of Ice Beams were interspersed with Wishes and Air Slashes, causing the dancing Pokémon to flinch. Tripping himself, a final Air Slash sent him back to his ball.
“Ludicolo, come back,” Leif snapped. “Alright, let’s see how you do against a Mega Evolution, you sissy-boy freak. Go Sceptile!”
The Sceptile leapt forward from his Nest Ball, the mega stone dangling from his neck glowing in unison with the keystone pinned on Leif’s signature green beanie.
Intensifying her Wish, Togekiss was hit with one Leaf Blade after another, to little effect. But hearing such cowardly and vile statements directed at her trainer, she didn't know how much longer she would last. She began using Ancient Power, hoping for a stat boost to Baton Pass to Aquarius, the only other Pokémon Lani had with her. Its Ice Beam would surely put a massive dent in a Grass/Dragon type. But it was detected. Using the move again, her HP began dwindling. Her Wishes had run dry. Out of desperation, she unleashed a massive Air Slash, a critical hit. Leif’s prized Sceptile was downed. They had won. Looking lovingly for a pat from her trainer and a PokePuff, instead, she was heartbroken. Lani was a crying mess.
Leif looked as though he has the perfect retort waiting under an angry, ugly smirk.

"This is fine."
Guy hurried over to the PC after Lani yelled about being the system crashing. He pressed buttons repeatedly, followed by unplugging it and plugging it back in. "Well, that's all I know about trouble shooting technology. Guess it's broken." Guy's Gardevoir, Lady, pulled on his arm trying to get him to leave. Due to the fire igniting chemicals in the research area, the sprinklers failed to put it out and it begun to spread into the visitor area. "Okay, okay. You can stop pulling. We'll head out. But the mosaic!" Guy ran through the puddles of water, grabbing for the doorknob when he was teleported outside.
Guy, who was mid-step before the teleport, slipped on the grass outside the lab, falling on his face. "Fine. Whatever." A moment later the Gardevoir appeared next to him holding the mosaic, wearing a severely burned and torn labcoat.

Once Guy was teleported out by his Gardevoir, Professor Laurel quickly went to work trying to salvage the lab's contents. First up was disabling the fire sprinklers, which proved to be an easy task. Her Spiritomb followed up by putting out the fire using its Rock Tomb to smother the flames. Rock Tomb unfortunately caused further damage to the lab, but at least it wasn't a total loss. Lilith moved to the PC next only to find it not only locking her out, but malfunctioning. She pulled out a flashdrive of her own, uploading something into it. A couple distorted images flashed on the screen before it went to complete static. This should help somewhat.
After the upload was complete, Lilith promptly left the lab through the side door that leads to the Pokemon habitats. "It is no surprise..." Her eyes narrowed; she recognized the man in front of her. "...Stygian." The woman was smart enough to know she had no chance against this sinister member of the Elite Four. Sighing deeply she recalled Spiritomb back to its ball, awaiting her fate.

Phi watched as things happened... nope.
She gave Minerva a knowing look, and in less than a second, Vance popped into the space between them, put a hand on each of them, and poof, all three were gone. Where to? No one there knew, only Vance could really answer until they actually got there.

Leif began to back away. Stygian would spring the trap any time now.
"I've never seen someone cry because they won," he smirked. "Maybe you really are a girl. Either way, you're still a freak."
Leif backed away further. Where was Stygian?! Leif was going to have an aneurysm if the Dark-type trainer didn't show up soon.

"Professor!" Stygian cheered, "You've arrived just in time!"
Stygian leaned in close, looking around dramatically before whispering, "Wanna see me do a magic trick?"
A shadow fell across the two of them and the deep call of a Honchkrow penetrated the air around them. Stygian thrust his hand into the air and stared up at the sky as hundreds of Murkrow responded to the Honkrow's command and dove down toward the Pokemon lab. Stygian roared as Honchkrow's talons gripped him by the shoulders and lifted him into the air, followed almost immediately by Professor Laurel, every inch of her body being lifted by Murkrows. They flew toward the front of the building and another section of the horde dove down to grab the male professor. As the three of them were lifted away from the lab Stygian turned towards the building, his arms outstretched and middle fingers extended.
"SUCK A DICK, DUMBSHITS!"

Over the sound of her own gross sobbing, Leif's insult was the last straw. But when she looked up in defiance, she could see nobody. She couldn't see a thing. A vast murder of Murkrow had blotted out the sun. In the darkness, she rushed to return her two Pokemon to their Luxury Balls to keep them from harm. A rustling of grass suggested the grass-type loser was running away from her.
Feeling desperate at being blind in the dark, she shouted, "Hello? Is everyone alright?!" Her words were met with silence. But darkness and silence were soon broken as Lani looked toward the sky, seeing two professors carried away like a scene from Alfred Honchkrow's The Flying Types. "Professors! PROFESSORS!!" The sound of hundreds of wings flapping and profanities spewed were more than enough to drown her out.
Where is everybody? Professor Phillips had a Gardevoir; did he return her to her ball? Where is the mosaic?
She focused on a white stick on the ground. Who would litter here?
And why had her brother done what he did? Where was he now? And where were her other Pokemon?
Most importantly, what could she do?
