Leaders and Locks [Volkner]

He was relaxed. It was a rarity in itself to feel the total limber feeling of having no stress. Sure he still had the nagging feeling in the back of his mind whenever he sneaked in the Lux city of Sunyshore. No, not Lux's city. His city. He refused to look at Sunyshore as Lux's property. If anyone was to claim Sunyshore it should be Volkner. He'd struggled through his years as Gym Leader to make Sunyshore what it was today. He'd stamped it with his electrical advances. Sure Sunyshore had had its own signiture mark but Volkner had made it better. Adding the futuristic feel that the citizens loved. Now, he was pushed out of the city he had worked so hard to make and forced to the outside limits of the beaches. Ursula, his peppy little Octillarly, was spalshing and playing within the water with happy trills and giggles.

Volkner was content sitting on the shore, already dressed for his little adventrue with Alysssa today. He'd started here at the crack of dawn to simply relax before he started towards Sunyshore Gym for a bit of a lockpicking adventure. He'd been quite interested the day before in Canalave when Alyssa had mentioned the hobby had been been brought up. He was very interested in a mechanics and such and the hobby seemed like a beneficial one to use when tinkering with electricals or some machine. Looking up at the sky he saw the first patches of light. They would need to move soon. Although he was slightly dressed differently, walking around Sunnyshore too much was indeed dangerous. There were still citizens who would recognize him and the city was crawling with Lux. THat only added tot he excitement though. VOlkner was sure between the two of them they could smash anyone who got in their way though.

"Ursula. Come on. You've played enough. Alyssa will get mad if we're super late." Volkner said pulling out the Octillary's pokeball and waiting for the red octupus to come within distance. Alyssa probably wouldn't get super mad if they were late but it did complicate things more than they needed to be when you delayed being in the city. Ursula swam towards him and waited patiently. Volkner, giving a curt nod and watching as she was enveloped in red light hooked the Pokeball back to his waist.

He wasn't dressed as he had been yesterday. That would be a dead giveaway. Normally his black shirt, black pants and signiture blue jacket were an easy sign to pinpoint him when you were looking for him. Usually it had been a good thing. But with the war now, it wasn't the most safest or easies thing to deal with. He was dressed instead in a black tanktop under overalls that had the tops rolled down as to give him easy access to move around and not be contricted. A pair of aviator goggles laid upon his head as well. He looked like any normal mechanic. A hot one too -- Cici

He started off to the place where Alyssa was to have mentioned. Volkner wondered slightly if she'd have some sort of disguise. She was a Nox higher up but he didn't know if she was well known enough to have to hider her face or appearance. Walking along the streets he stuffed hands in the pockets of his overalls and whistled a tune as he made his way to the spot. He got there and made it seem like he wasn't all particularly in a hurry to get anywhere. He had to admit he was a bit confused when he saw a teenage boy. He had brown hair and a simple white shirt and black pants. Volkner wasn't sure what to do quite exactly. Had someone found out and Lux set up a trap? Had some kid messed everything up and Alyssa had fled instead.

"The breeze is a bit unexpected today isn't it?" Volkner said with a wary glance to the boy. He'd have to wait and flee for his life if this wasn't Alyssa.

Volkner was glad when he realized that the person was indeed Alyssa and gave a breath of relief. He was not used to conversing with others in Sunyshore. It wasn't somehting he did anyway. Conversing. He was getting better he hoped, but he knew he was still having problems keeping a conversation going when it needed to be. But not being in a very good undercover costume Volkner was a bit more worred. He sighed and pulled the aviator goggled down over his eyes to shield the brigh blue contact lenses he wore. THat was a secret of course that no one knew about, not even Alyssa. Hell not even Flint. He'd had this look for so long that no one knew he'd been a kid with longish brown hair and green eyes. THe worse color combo ever no one had paid Volkner any mind. So when starting off on his journey he'd made sure he'd made himself shocking. People would notice him, people would see him. People would be like, hey there's Volkner.
Thats who he'd made sure he was. Volkner looked down at his clothing and let the old workboots scuff against the ground. "I dont normally wear this unless dealing with heavy electrical sites. Like the Gym. There are a lot of booby traps I put in there to keep Lux out. It's highly dangerous so this outfit is useful for camoflouge and saftey. You'll probably want to stay back once we pick the locks. Lux took the key from me since the security isn't very tight. THey havn't even got a city official yet. The idiots." Volkner said with a angry scowl. If something happened to his city he would hunt Lux down and make sure to send so much electricity through their body they would be twitching as if they at teretz until they were 80.
Shaking his head, Volkner turned to Alyssa and nodded. "Thank you for the compliment though. I'll keep it in mind." Volkner said with a cocky grin and looked toward the Gym. "Well, Teacher, shall we get started. You do want me to learn some skills after all dont you?" Volkner said giving her a small elbow to the side to make it seem as if they were pals that fit in with the city. They were old friends, but not the kind their outfits called for. Volkner pulled together his acting skills and even feigned his voice a bit. It wasn't necessary but Volkner liked to dot all his I's and cross all his T's. Just to make sure there weren't any mistakes. Mistakes could be deadly. Mistakes could hurt your life.
"So the panel to open the gym is going to be on the side. The doors should automatically open if they're unlocked being automatic doors and all. Thats how most Gym's are. They used to be different. But overtime I've been able to spruce up the electrical systems and all." Volkner said his voice matter of fact and not bragging at all. Really it was all about convienence. Trainers could get in and get out. It was also a easy way to lock the gym doors. usually with a flick you could turn the doors off and they wouldn't open. The only problem was. Only the Gym Leader had the key to open the panel. Volkner didn't have that Key anymore. So he'd need Alyssa's help.
"Think that would be able to work?" Volkner looked to Alyssa with a raised brow.

Volkner nodded to Alyssa's kind words. He had support for getting his city back, this meant the world to Volkner. His city was his existance. This is where he'd put his stamp on life, when he died he meant for Sunyshore to live on and hoped that the people would remember him for making Sunyshore into something grand and memorable. He hoped they would have good memories of their lives in Sunyshore as he had. People critisized the city for their black outs and what not but they had pride. Pride in their city and lives and were not afraid to mention that they loved their sea side city. Not only were they known for being a sea side city but a advanced technological city.

Volkner nodded to Alyssa when she asked about the locks. "Yes, the outside boy has a key that all Gym Leaders hold. As I told you last night. Unfortunately I was forced to hand over the key. " Volkner mentioned walking over to the box. There's a complicated gear lock in there then Sunyshore's usual city wide security system. All I need to get past is the gear lock which I have no clue in." Volkner said with a scowl and the metal key code as he showed Alyssa. "This would be your expertise, Nyx." Volkner said with a grin. as he watched his teacher preform her art. His mind would be memorizing every step, every movement, every word she might utter. He would perfect the art until he had mastered it perfectly. He would perfect it then use it in his career to help Nox, the people, to obtain their goal.

Volkner thought about Alyssa's previous suggestion. Volkner had thought about it the whole night while he waited for sleep to arrive on his doorstep. A Leader? He'd never thought about it, really. He'd expected he'd do a few missions here and there but still have time to travel and gain ideas for his Gym once he got back.

Volkner watched as Alyssa worked. He watched every hand twitch every movement. When Volkner was interested in something he had the notions of a fast learning student. But he could be the polar opposite if it didn't interest him as well. Trying to interpret Alyssa's sentence with the tools in her mouth. It was... rather completely impossible. Volkner sighed and watched her fingers as she continued to work. Apparently the geared locks were a pain but from what Alyssa seemed to show them as they didnt seem all that hard if he got a little bit of practice in. Volkner figured he would figure it out with a couple of picked locks and such. Perhaps he could get into the old cottage by the beach with these kind of skills. It was something interesting to look into.

"We'll have to be careful. I dont think my appearance is enough of a disguise to keep us hidden for long." Volkner said and looked behind him as he saw a few patrols.

"Understood.Be careful, there are two guards running around. Act busy I suppose." Volkner said taking his own supplies as he looked into the wires and electric switches and breakers. This was what he was familiar with. Soon enough within 3 minutes flat he had the lock opened and security shut down.

"We got it! We're in, Nix!" Volkner said with a flashy grin as he looked over at the other region leader with a slight grin. He wasn't altogether sure what they would do now. Would they take the supplies Volkner had left in the Gym, if they were still there? Or woudl they just leave as a warning to Lux? Volkner looked to Alyssa and raised an eyebrow.

"What now?" He asked sitting back with his hands propping him up and electrical and bugular tools spread in his lap.
