"Yeah, I'd love to see it. Sorry I couldn't help yo-..." Mike stops and he has a supprised expression. "Unless..." He punches some numbers into the computer on his arm into some complicated equations. "In theory it's possible, but it's a long shot."

[ooc]
It will be under your control weather this idea works or not, and I will try to make it obvious when you can make this decision.

Worry creased their brow.
"And... what would happen if it failed?"

Laura was sitting on Hatsune's back, looking over Mike's shoulder. Since she diddnt know anything about math past the fourth grade, it gave her a headache just to look at. She leaned over, laying against Hatsune's long neck, and started to drift off to sleep, listening to Mike and Lilli talk. Just as she was about to go completely to sleep, but she felt a familiar jolt of electricity run through her. Sparkler, her Jolteon, was looking up at her from the ground. Neither mike nor Lilli had noticed her dozing off, and they were still talking. Sparkler pointed a paw at at hatsune, who had fallen asleep standing up, again. "Sorry." She whispered, not wanting to wake her up or interupt their conversation, and hopped down, landing in between them. So much for not interupting... She thought.

"If we fail then we waste a day or two of work." Says Mike. "Oh, and I probably better tell you what it is we might be able to do. You see, wormholes are so hard to create because it requires creating a rip in space and then having space stitch back together in a different shape. The same thing needs to happen to destroy a wormhole though and it's rarely practical to invest the energy to do so when you can just stop holding it open and have it shrink to the Planck scale. The Planck length is the smallest scale worth talking about because nothing can ever get smaller then that, and if the Sun were a hydrogen atom then one Planck length would be 8.6 millimeters long, it's crazy small. The wormhole you came in probably still exists in the Planck scale, but we need to find it. It will not simply be where you came through because wormholes follow spacial curvature and so they fall, they also don't collide with anything because they have no force charges and they can slip right through atoms. The wormhole will follow a highly elliptical orbit with the lowest point being near the center of Earth and the highest point being just above the surface, so every 45 minutes or so the wormhole will pop out of the ground for a few seconds. It won't be the same place every time because it will not follow Earth's rotation, but if I knew enough about the initial position and velocity of the wormhole then I could calculate where it will be and we could be there waiting with a wormhole containment capsule. The Nexus station has the hardware to open wormholes like that back up."

If Lilli doesn't remember the position of the wormhole within about 0.3 meters then this won't work. I don't know what you have planned for your character, but if you want to keep them around for a while then it may be a good idea to make this not work.
[/ooc]

Laura's face lit up like a christmas tree. She stood up and dusted herself off and grinned. "If the wormhole doesnt follow earth's rotation, then all we have to do is go back to Vert Plaza at the same exact time tomorrow! "

Mike turns to Laura and says "Slight problem, the wormhole follows spacial curvature and it's orbital period is unlikely to be in any sort of resonance with Earth's rotation. Earth curves space to create gravity, and the wormhole will follow that. We may have to wait a few days for it to surface for a few seconds anywhere near us and we will have to be there to catch it. The orbit is elliptical so-... Crap, I forgot to account for the lower gravity near Earth's core so it will not be an ellipse. I shouldn't have been using Keppler equations that assume point source gravity, I need a piece wise function made from modified Newtonian equations to properly calculate a subterranean orbit. This will be harder then I thought... I will assume that the density gradient on this Earth is the same as it is on the Earth I am from." He continues to do calculations.

Sam says "Knowing Mike, he will probably be busy with that for a while."

[ooc]
It should be noted that the way I have portrayed wormholes is based on predictions made by string theory and general relativity, and the only part I have made up is how they are created. I am about as nerdy as Mike, and I have actually used a calculator a few times in this roleplay. My science fiction universe is meant to be as far fetched as possible while breaking as few laws of physics as possible.

Laura yawned again, going back inside to go to bed. She diddnt even bother with her pajamas since she was that tired.

She woke up the next morning with Anna, Randy, and Sparkler curled up next to her. She hoped that Mike and Lilli didn't stay up all night long calculating and worrying. She gently picked up Randy and put him out of the way, hopped out of her bed, and got ready. She was wearing a frilly bubblegum pink skirt, a white blouse, sparkly silver ballet flats, no hat, and her hair was down. She was still wearing the necklace from before. She heard a knock at the door, opened it, and nearly passed out. "Great Arceus! Calem, what are you doing here?" She screeched. "I was just wanting to tell you about this thing they found at the bottom of that giant hole in Geosenge Town. Its apparently this key thing that belonged to Team Flare."

Mike wakes up with a start on the sofa from Laura's screech, Sam goes out of sleep mode and takes off from the table.

Mike: "What time is it and what time did I go to sleep?"
Sam: "It's 8:14 AM and you fell asleep at 3:43 AM."
Mike: "Oh..."

Mike launches the computer program that he was working on last night to predict the location of the wormhole and once he enters some test values the program freezes up. "Yep, that loop error still exists. I guess I fell asleep while trying to fix it." He sits up and continues trying to debug the program on a holographic computer interface.

Laura looked behind her, feeling slightly bad for him. She rerembered Team Flare, the evil group that wanted to activate the ultimate weapon and wipe out all of humanity, exept for themselves. AZ, the former king of Kalos, had granted himself and his Floette eternal life. She had befriended the man and his pokemon, he was actually really nice. However, he was missing the weird...thing around his neck. She had only seen him with it once, and yes, it did resemble a key. But she couldnt rerember what it was the key to...

Sam interrupts Mike's work. "Uhh... Mike?" Mike is slightly startled. "What? What is it?"

Sam: "What about the scream that woke you up? Shouldn't we check that out?"
Mike: "Oh yeah... Did you catch where it came from?"
Sam: "It came from Laura's room and it was Laura's voice."

Mike takes out his gun and cautiously approaches Laura's room, but once he hears Laura and Calem talking he puts it away. He then approaches them and asks "What's going on?"

Laura snickered. "Sorry for scaring you like that. It's just that this guy snuck in the window. And we were talking about how the key that AZ had... They found it!" She smiled.

Mike gets a confused look. "I think I'm missing a few details here. Who the heck is AZ and why is finding their key such a big deal?"

Laura sighed. "AZ was the king of this region once upon a time and he built the beauty on Route 6. He had a pokemon that he loved more than anything, but the pokemon died, and he brought her back to life using this big crystal flower...thing... And he also used it to give himself and his pokemon eternal life, but he ended up killing several others in the process. At the time he was a totaly crazy, or so they say. Fast forward 3,000 years later, a group called Team Flare wanted to use this thing to wipe out the human race, but geuss what? We stopped 'em!" She said proudly. Calem looded at her wistfully. "AZ was at my awards ceremony after I became the Champion, and below and behold, there was the pokemon! It was a really sweet thing to see. But the first time I saw this guy, in the Team Flare base, he had a key he wore as a necklace! Team Flares base burned down a few years ago, but somebody decided to go through it, and they found his key!

"Wow, you have accomplished a lot. Remind me not to underestimate either of you, capable of training animals to beat the crap out of evil organizations and all. That key sounds pretty important, does anyone have any idea what it does?"

If anyone in the house chooses to look out the window, they might see a bright flash of light and a girl appear out of nowhere. She looks about twelve, and she wears a purple outfit, complete with a hat. She holds a pokeball as though it's an animal she'd very much like to get rid of.

"Q!" she shouts angrily. "What are you doing? Send me back, now!"

"Why should I?" booms a mysterious male voice, though the man cannot be seen. "Oh Guinan! You haven't even had any fun yet!"

Lillikoi woke to the sound of pots and pans banging.
Where am I?
They looked around and saw Mike sleeping on the couch.
Ah, right.

What time was it? They looked at the time. 6:15?

Blearily Lilli stood up and walked into the kitchen. They were wearing their PJs-- which were really just the same clothes, only a different tank top.

"Hey there sleepyhead," Laura's mom said. "You're up early."
She was standing by the stove frying an egg.

"Eh, mornin'."

"You want an egg?"

"Yeah, sure."

Laura's mom scraped half of the omelette onto one plate and the other half onto another. Then she sat down with Lilli at the kitchen table.

"Uh, Mrs... um, Grace?" Lilli asked, as if they didn't know her name.

"That's my name, kiddo."

"So, um, Laura was telling me that you used to be a Trainer...
And, and I was wondering if you could show me how to catch a Pokemon?"

That made Grace chuckle.
"Sure, I can..."
Lilli grinned.
"... if you help me with the dishes."
~~~~~~
Lilli's arms ached. They had lots of experience eating, but little with cleaning the resulting mess.

They followed Grace as she guided them down a dirt road.

"So this is Route 2," Grace said,"
and this is where you're gonna catch a Pokemon."

They walked into a patch of grass.
"So to catch a Pokemon, first you have to go into the tall grass.
You can also find 'em in water and caves, but we won't worry about that for now."

"Next," she explained,"This is a Poke Ball. It's what contains a Pokemon."

Suddenly a squeak rang out of the grass. A pair of long ears were rustling toward them.
"And speak of the devil, here comes one now!"

A bunny revealed itself. It was a short bunny Pokemon with cartoonish buck teeth. It looked like a cartoon character.
"What's that?" Lilli said.

"That's a Bunnelby, kiddo."
She pointed to a green meter hovering above the Bunnelby.
"And see that bar above Bunnelby's head? That's its HP-- hit points, or a measure of its health. If you wanna catch something..." she said, unclipping a Poke Ball from her belt, "...you gotta weaken it first!"

"Go, Fletchling!"

A little bird burst from the Poke Ball.

....Wait, wasn't that the one from Laura's house?

"Fletchling, use Ember!"
Flames shot out of the bird's mouth, knocking the rabbit over.
Lilli noticed its HP bar had turned to orange.

Suddenly Grace tossed the Poke Ball at Lillikoi.
"Now throw it."
"Wha? But, but I can't throw--"

A hand wrapped around Lilli's arm, forcing it in the motion of a throw. The Poke Ball flew out of their hand, opening like a clamshell around the Bunnelby and sucking it inside.

"Wha--"

The ball wiggled from side to side as the Bunnelby tried to get out. And then it stopped.
Click.

And then they turned to Grace.

"What was that for?!" they said, slightly agitated.

Grace picked up the Poke Ball, wagging a finger at Lillikoi.
"You gotta think on your feet in a battle.

But then she patted Lilli on the back. "But congratulations, kiddo. You just caught your first Pokemon."

~~~~~~~
It was eight-thirty when they got home. Mike and Laura were upstairs talking with Calem.

Lilli marched through the door, grinning triumphantly.

"GUUUUYS, I'M HO-OOOOME~" they sang.
