Sami:
You sit down for a frank talk with Lucy. The mutant is more than willing to talk, but she don't have all that much useful information to share. The only thing new you learn is that the PCNA is also vivisecting mutants for science, and that Lucy has gone through this a few times.
The girl then goes into rumors that she can't substantiate and facts to which she don't know all the details.
-Two of the guards at the PCNA Mutant Research and Extermination Center may be dirty and slipping prisoners out into the hands of the NPO.
-The PCNA Mutant Research and Extermination Center is on the west coast of the island
-The Joltik Mutant who used to live in the cell next to her claimed to be a KotS member of considerable rank
-Said Joltik Mutant claimed that another KotS leader, named Chekhov, is actually a PCNA spy

The border to the Fangs is well guarded, but you manage to get in through a sewer. When you climb out the manhole cover and onto the street, you find yourself in a different world entirely. Many of the buildings are gutted by fire. People walk the street with their Pokemon out and fear in their eyes. You witness 2 muggings within the first 30 minutes of being on KotS turf.
You do a quick walking loop around the Southeast Fang. If it wasn't for the fire damage you would have a hard time telling this place from PCNA territory. As you finish the loop you hear a scream coming from a nearby alleyway. Checking it out you spot two mutants in KotS uniform about to have their way with a human woman. You decide to intervene.
A surprise hidden power from your Abra is enough to cause one of the mutants to flee, but sadly knocks out the victim. The remaining would be rapist turns and sends out a Skorupi to do battle. You switch to Vanadia. The battle is brief. The bug puts up a good fight, taking a few hits you thought it had no chance of tanking, but the Type Advantage is enough to secure you victory after a few quick exchanges.
Without a Pokemon to defend himself with, the Mutant is rather helpless. You rough him up a bit before binding and gagging him with his own clothes. Then you drag the victim into a burned out building, hoping that she will either recover quickly or be found by somebody who isn't a total sicko.
The manhole you enter through is close enough for you to smuggle your captive through without incident. Once you make it to the other side however you are quickly picked up by the PCNA for hauling a mutant. It takes a few hours, and several calls to Faust, but eventually the situation is sorted out and both yourself and your prize are returned to HQ.

KotS Mawile Mutant Added to Captive Stock!
+60 EXP for your Pokemon!
Susan:
Between your scientific and retail work, you take some time off to train your Pokemon. Again the type disadvantage makes things difficult. Galore cannot hurt Core, who cannot take a hit from Trellis.
Luckily for you however, a clearly drunk Bella Smith wanks in on your training session and offers a suggestion. "Perhaps you should mix things up, and just let your Pokemon all use the same weapon!"
The driver leaves and returns a few minutes with her twin sister and three broken bottles of liquor. One is given to each of your Pokemon, and the little critters have at it. The innovation seems to even the odds a bit, but sadly after an hour of hard training the Meowth takes a jagged shard of glass right to the eye!
You rush it to the healing machine, but your experience tells you the little Meowth will need to wear an eye-patch for a bit.
+90 EXP
Injury to Galore!
Lucian:
You head out into Tropical Sands in search of somebody willing to take the Meowth off your hands in return for something or another. Eventually you find the part of town bustling with desperate street merchants. From there you ask around and find those whom deal in Pokemon. You manage to get a good handful of offers, a few of which you rule out because the merchant's aura betrays their dishonest intention.
Offer 1: A kid offers you two unknown Pokemon Eggs he found while exploring the beach today
Offer 2: A Pokemon Taxidermist offers you 1500 py for the Meowth. He intends to kill, stuff, and mount it
Offer 3: A breeder is looking to add Meowth to his collection. He is willing to give you Absol, a much stronger Pokemon, with an inferior modest nature
Offer 4: An old lady offers to sell you a secret. You can tell from her aura she at least thinks it is a good one
Offer 5: A couple shady looking gentlemen offer a Piplup. You suspect they may not have aquired the Pokemon legaly, but at least they are not trying to rip you off.
You consider the offers and come to a decision (Pick). Roll After Mods = 21
Susan + Niko
The pair of you meet up with your contacts, who help you sneak across the border into wealthy NPO turf north of the border. The two of you then go door to door selling Cubchoo. Niko quickly manages to sell one of the Cubchoo to a Beartic mutant university professor. The academic pays a cool 13k for the little bear.
Susan meanwhile has trouble making a sale. Several people turn you down, explaining their disinterest or complaining that the deal is a ripoff. Eventually however she find a few kids who are able and willing to pay 8k, the minimum asking price. The medic suspects their money might be stolen... but then again so are the Cubchoo. She sucks it up and make the sale.
The two of you return to the contacts and return all the money except your 30% cuts. Niko has earned 3900 PY, and Susan 2400. You could keep what you eared or split it 50/50 and take 3150 each.

Susan + Niko + Lucian
The three of you enter the lab and remove Dickens from the freezer. As soon as the dead mutant is brought to room tempreture his unstable body begins to dissolve and evaporate. It quickly becomes a race against the clock to measure, document, and photograph various organs.
As you rush to examine the organs before it is too late, Lucian thinks to pause and collect samples of escaping ectoplasm and gas. Within an hour and a half nothing is left of the body, and the three of you wait nervously for Carlos to anaylise the data.
The researcher inputs data furiously for another few minutes, and then paces nervously for 30 as his computer crunches the numbers. Eventually the machine emits a soft Ding and Dr. Gonzalez reads off the results.
"Alright. Phew! We got enough data on this mutant to advance our Basic Mutation Theroy. ¡Qué alivio! Hrrrmm... That was also a good call collecting gas and ectoplasm samples Lucian. I... I might be able to make something out of that. Good work guys!"
