Niko:
You evolve your two Eevee first thing in the morning. Neither has a real preference for either stone, so you get to pick who gets what.
Packing a lunch, you set out across the island to visit the barren peninsula. As advertised this place is strange and nearly lifeless. You spot the occasional withered plant and more than your fair share of Diglet, Numel, and Sandshrew; but aside from those exceptions the emptiness and silence of the area is overwhelming.
Eventually you find the cloister settlement, located in an abandoned strip mall. As you approach you are cut off by two heavily armed Gravler mutants. You flash them the document you had been given by the stranger, and they lower their weapons. They lead you through the community to wherever it is they are taking you, without a single word.
On the other side of the communities walls you are relieved to find life at last. Dozens of mutants dash around, doing laundry and tending to crops of some sort. Most of them are clearly ground types, but there are a few outliers; you spot Vulpix, Magikarp, and Cacturn mutants among the others. A group of children stare at you as you pass; as if you were the freak.
You reach your destination, a building that used to be some sort of hair saloon. You are seated in one of the chairs and eventualy approached by a Claydol mutant of indeterminate gender. The mutant introduces itself as the leader and proceeds to send a psychic message to you.
-We don't much like outsiders, but we are in desperate straights. If you do us a favor, we will be willing to do business with you and the entire WPSF. There is an artifact known as the Crimson Orb, and it is sacred to out people. I recently had a vision informing me of it's location. There is no way my men could punch through PCNA or NPO land to get at it themselves however. Fetch the Orb for us, and we will offer you whatever services we can.-
The message is repeated twice before you are lead back outside and removed from the comunties grounds.

After returning from your trip and participating in a wild training battle you decide to allow your newly minted Eeveeloutions some time together for egg production. Sadly however Haline seems to have suffered an injury to his... manhood... while training and can't quite do what is required of him. You find no egg in the morning.

Sami:
You spend all morning and a good chunk of your cash assembling a new surveillance drone. Since there are no major electronics stores in friendly territory, you end up purchasing and gutting used appliances and car parts from shady street venders to serve as raw material. The resulting drone is rather ugly, but still quite functional.
Heading into the interrogation, you send for Mark. The Hitmonlee mutant is a bit indignant, and unwilling to answer questions, but eventually you get him to talk. You learn that he was busted when he forgot to mark an uploaded video where he used his mutant powers to perform skateboard tricks as 'private'. You also get him to admit to having a mutant girlfriend, a Panpour mutant named Claire. You jot down Claire's location before thanking mark for his time and leaving.

You send Alan to investigate the airfield in the swamps. He makes it to the destination without incident, however to your dismay a group of 20 or so NPO soldiers are performing drills on the runway. One of them spots the drone and they open fire. You have to pull Alan out before it gets destroyed.

Lucian:
You head to the haunted pier before Sunrise, in hopes of catching a ghost Pokemon. To your astonishment you quickly spot a haunter and give chase. The ghost type flees, phasing in and out of reality and just barely staying out of the range of you or your Pokemon. Eventually it leads up to the gates of the lighthouse at the end of the pier, where two Dusknior mutants stare you down briefly before giving chase. One look at their aura informs you that they will kill you if they can catch you. You turn tail and run!
The mutants chase you halfway down the pier before returning to their posts. You head back to HQ dejected.
After breakfast you head out to Tropical Sands to lend a hand to the comunity and in general be a nice guy. Eventualy you wind up helping a recently evicted old man sort through his possessions. While digging through an old chest you find a vial of white and fluffy substance that emits a powerful aura.
Out of curiosity you ask the man what it is, and the man launches into a hell of a story.
"When I was a wee sprout, your age or younger even, a cousin of mine left home to compete in the United States Pokemon League. This cousin of mine was a skilled trainer, and actualy placed in the top 20 when all was said and done, but he said his biggest prize was found along they way."
The man smiles. "He had just won the Heartland Badge in Kansas City, and had a week to explore the plains before his train left to take him to the next gym. On the day before the train was to leave he was aproached and challenged to battle by the Legendary Pokemon Tornadus. My cousin accepted and an epic battle began. The divine beast easily defeated my cousin's skitty with a powerful hurricane attack. His Voltorb fared little better and was stopped by an Extrasensory. My cousin then called upon his strongest partner, a Shelgon, to enter the fray."
The old man points to a rather abstract picture hanging on the wall of a dragon flying into a tornado. "Shelgon was able to withstand repeated attacks from the legend, but could not reach it to counter attack. Just when all hope was lost however, the dragon evolved into Salamence and gained the ability to fly. Salamence flew up and took a huge bite out of the monster's tail, ripping it open and causing massive damage. Tornadus fled, but left behind a pool of it's cloud like blood, which my cousin bottled. The contents of the vial is the last of that blood."
With sparkling eyes the Old Man stares at you. "I can give it to one of your Pokemon if you want. It is said to make any flying Pokemon who drinks it much stronger. My cousin's Salamence and Peliper were nearly unbeatable, and capable of using absurdly powerful moves after their exposure. When I became a trainer myself he let my Tropius have some, and it got stronger and more powerful as well; it only lost three battles the entire time we were together. I think the blood's power has diminished over time however; when I used some a few years back, the effects were not as noticeable. Still, it couldn't hurt."
You consider the man's offer for a bit and decide to give the vial to your Woobat. You both watch intently as the little pokemon guzzles it down. At first nothing seems to happen, but then the Woobat briefly flashes green and white and the hate it feels towards you vanishes from it's aura!
Your Woobat has been elevated to Level 17!
Your Woobat has learned Fly!
Your Woobat has become loyal!

Susan:
You spend the entire morning in the lab. First you dissect the Prinplup. The procedure goes off without a hitch, however it reveals now new data for you or Carlos to work with. Roll After Mods = 12
After you hear that Sami's interrogation is finished, you send for Mark to be transported to the lab for his turn under the knife. Working alone you put him out with some strong drugs, cut him open, photograph and measure his major organs and mutated leg muscles, take blood samples, and sew him back up.
Mark regains consciousness and is returned to his cell without major injury. Although you failed to uncover anything truly ground breaking Dr. Gonzalez is exited anyway! "¡Mierda! Ya está hecho! WE DID IT! WE DID IT! That should be enough to win us back the basic understanding of mutant physiology that those dogs in London denied me! You were a huge help Rags! I could kiss you right now! I'll have a brief summary of my findings posted by this time tomorrow. Thanks for all the help!"

Basic Mutation Theory Has Been Fully Researched!
Lucian + Niko + Susan:
The three of you decide to train your Pokemon with a good old fashion battle royal! Darrow, Portabello, Sunny, Trellis, Core, Galore, Haline, Milli, Seiche, Lucian's Woobat, and Lucian's Yanma are all sent out and ordered to fight until only one is left standing! The three trainers sit back to watch the show.
The Woobat goes on an early rampage, debuting it's new move fly and nearly killing Portabello with a single hit. It then turns on Darrow and dispatches the bug in painful fashion without much difficulty.
Core and Trellis gang up on Seiche, the baby Eevee, and beat the normal type within an inch of it's life. This is more than enough to provoke the parental instincts of Haline and Milli, who charge into the fray to challenge Rag's Pokemon. The other combatants stop and watch as a destructive tag battle takes place. Attacks fly left and right, and it quickly becomes clear that the Niko's newly evolved Pokemon have the upper hand! Trellis is taken down quickly, but Core puts up a good fight as neither Pokemon has a move capable of causing major damage to it. The Geodude manages to put Haline out cold with brutal tackle to the nuts before Milli is able to finish the job.
The battle begins again with Galore and Sunny teaming up to Ambush Milli from behind while Lucian's two Pokemon begin to go at it in a fierce duel.
The Jolteon puts up a fierce fight against its attackers, KOing Sunny and hurting it badly, but the Meowth manages to KO the rampaging mother with a well placed bite.
Lucian's Yanma tries it's best, but eventually falls to the new and improved Woobat.
This leaves Woobat and Galore left standing. The pair stare each other down for about 30 seconds before the flying type makes a move towards the Meowth. Galore feints a counter-charge, but sidesteps at the last second causing the bat to crash into the floor and flinch. Lucian reads an incoming bite off the Meowth's aura, and decides to spare his Pokemon the injury and recall it.
Galore hops up and down to celebrate it's victory!
Susan Gets 264 EXP!
Niko Gets 250 EXP!
Lucian Gets 139 EXP!
Note from the mechanics department: Please include the levels of the Pokemon you are training in your post. Thank you.
