Word had reached Thomas Benoit that a patch of fossil-rich land had been uncovered in the process of preparing the land for winter festivities. Such news would also reach seedier elements, especially a group of thieves known as the Poochyena's. Despite the fact he was a member of the International Police, and not a Ranger, he took on the job, if only for the chance to have a go at these thieves, should they intrude on the dig site.

Thomas wouldn't be alone in this endeavor, of course. Another man had volunteered to protect the land from this group of thieves. One Fernando Silph, the heir to Silph Co. Though Thomas spent six years in Kanto, he had never met the man himself, whether that was because of his own journey, or because Thomas' activities kept him away from Fernando, but Thomas was tangentially familiar with the man, being more familiar with his adopted sister, an internet artist who went turncoat, and joined Team Rocket.

In any case, Thomas and his Pokemon were surveying the area. Aside from the threat of causing a small avalanche, the route offered plenty of tall grass for the thieves to move through stealthily, should they choose the stealthy approach over the more aggressive approach. In any case, the Kalosian noble was on his guard, waiting for any signs of trouble.

fernando hasn't been the first on the scene and by definition, wouldn't be the last. as a league member, it was his prerogative to ensure this newfound resource didn't fall into the wrong hands. as a member of the council, and in his crusade to garner the support and public opinion he needs for rising even further, it's his job to pitch in where he can. that's why he resorts to simple guard duty. even so, he finds himself in the company of an interpol officer. thomas benoit. an interesting, if not dangerous, fellow.

fernando's pokemon remain on standby. he allows his partner to patrol more heavily. instead, fernando opts to keep his pokemon close and ready for action. they're selected today to maintain a lower profile. there's no hulking monsters ready to blow the site to smithereens. no, a leader needs the know how to navigate the nuance of victory without bringing destruction. tiny as they may be, his pokemon find themselves right at home in the cold. only the keckleon that clings to his back, hidden by the large peacoat he wears, despises the chill that permeates the winter air.

"all clear."

While Brutus the Pangoro remained close to Thomas, Kiryu the Flygon took to patrolling the skies for an aerial view. Despite the cold, the levitating dragon persisted in his patrol. The fact that Thomas outfitted the Flygon with gear that would afford him some protection from the cold helped matters. Despite the bird's eye view he provided to the two humans, he could not spot anyone trying to approach them from the grass. Whether this meant they were already in position, and blending in, or opting for one of the other two approaches, had yet to be seen.

It was then that a loud, distant rumble could be heard. A small avalanche of snow would come barreling towards them. Immediately, Kiryu came swooping down towards his master, arms outstretched to grab him. Thomas would quickly recall Brutus back to his Pokeball, before Kiryu swooped down and grabbed him, taking him upward, allowing him to comfortably avoid the avalanche.

Thomas took a moment to look for his partner, making sure he either got himself out safely, or if he got caught in the avalanche. "Yo, Silph! You alright!?", Thomas would call out as he looked around. Should Fernando have been buried by the avalanche, he would've sent out Kiryu to Dig into the snow and retrieve him. If not, Kiryu would remain in the sky, holding onto his master.

Meanwhile, a group of men, all clad in jackets with a Poochyena's head on the back of them, watched the results of their avalanche. The group was less than pleased that it failed to incapacitate both of them.

"Well, looks like we're doin' this the hard way.", one of them noted.

"It's just two of 'em, we can take 'em!", another jacketed man would reply, confident with his chances.






Thieves attempted to use a small avalanche to disorient or bury Thomas and Fernando. Thomas' Flygon grabbed him and flew him out of the path of the avalanche.

the sound had been enough for a warning. what it was exactly wouldn't be revealed until the snow starts to plow into view. unlike thomas, fernando has no need to move. his pokemon are well sited for the environment and refuse to falter in the face of a little snow. the AVALANCHE comes to pass and the snow ends up diverging from his area, never touching him. glaceon's BARRIER creates a faint, translucent force field that's reinforced by the green hue of glalie's PROTECT.

"affirmative, benoit. prepare to intercept!"

when the AVALANCHE settles and the world becomes still once more, the protective BARRIER disbands. "benoit! maintain our aerial supremacy!" it comes out as an order but it's more of a warning than anything. between the two of them, the last thing fernando wants is to catch him in friendly fire. with enemies approaching, there's only one solution for dissuading them from coming any closer - long range artillery.

"battle routine set."

both ice pokemon maintain their positions. their maws open up and await the order. only then are they given autonomy to dispatch the enemies on their own discretion.

"execute."

a terrible BLIZZARD shoots forth and dares to bury any that dare intrude. the howls of the wind cloak the silent danger of the ICE SHARDS that hide themselves in the veil of snow and ice. what they expect is to be buffeted by harsh gales and frigid temperatures. imagine their surprise when they feel sharp ice tear into their clothes and flesh.

Upon looking down, Thomas would see that Fernando's Pokemon had protected him from the avalanche. The Interpol Agent was relieved that he didn't have to occupy a Pokemon with the task of digging him or his Pokemon out of the avalanche. Thomas would call out Kalameet the Hydreigon from his Pokeball, right below him. Kiryu would let go of Thomas, allowing Thomas to ride the Hydreigon through this battle.

As the group of thieves began their charge towards the two men, they were greeted by the Blizzard. Upon feeling the Ice Shards slicing through their clothing and flesh, the men would hastily retreat to cover. By the time they were in cover, most, if not all of those involved in the charge were bleeding, their blood trickled on the snow serving as a mark for their failed attempt to charge the duo.


"They wanna play that way, fine! Whip 'em out, boys!", the leader of the pack told his boys. The leader would pick a Pokeball off of his belt, sending out his Houndoom. The other members of the group would send out their Fire-types, all of them either being first stage or mid-stage. From there, they would charge towards the blue-haired man and his two Ice-types, ready to counteract any oncoming Blizzard with Heat Wave.

Upon seeing the opposition start running out of cover, Thomas wasted no time in having Kalameet start blasting at them with Dragon Pulse from the sky. While he could've easily wiped them all out with an Earthquake from his Flygon, he was chiefly afraid of friendly fire, and not to mention causing yet another avalanche. Instead, his Flygon would be calling down Rock Slides onto the charging Pokemon thieves, as well as their Fire-types.

there's little fernando can differentiate from when the BLIZZARD blinds and hides everything on the receiving end. it isn't until it starts being beat back by the flow of HEAT WAVE does he address the fact that the opposition is putting up a fight. if that's how they want to do it, so be it.

his answer forced him to retrieve a pokemon from his belt. from inside comes a blastoise which, strangely enough, doesn't seem too bothered by the frigid air. the sight of bated flames is tell all enough for the water pokemon. without so much as a command, it aims forward, twin cannons locking into place with a solid click. once the blastoise feels confident with the shot, a pair of HYDRO PUMPS are launched forward, ready to snuff out any flames that threaten to intrude past the bandit's cover.

As Fernando brings out a Blastoise, most of the bandits look on in horror, and ready themselves to retreat. "Any of you start runnin', I rip off yer legs!", the bandit leader threatened, causing his men to fall back into line. It was then that he would summon a Gastrodon from its capsule. The Gastrodon, thanks to Storm Drain, would absorb the Hydro Pumps coming in, taking in the water and absorbing it into itself. While they would continue their advance, the Gastrodon would fire off an Ice Beam at the Flygon, hoping to quickly eliminate one pest.

Kiryu, remaining calm, would dodge the attack by banking to the left, performing a Dragon Dance once he was in the clear. Kiryu would quickly dive to the ground, and begin to burrow underground. He would attempt to tunnel his way behind the enemy forces, before resuming his assault. Meanwhile, Kalameet would Work himself Up, before firing off another Dragon Pulse at the congregation of hellhounds.

While the Houndour attempted to rush forward to occupy the enemy, the Houndoom and Gastrodon remained with their master, with the Houndoom beginning to take in whatever sunlight he could, before he could fire off a Solar Beam at the Blastoise that threatened them. Meanwhile, the Gastrodon, who was there primarily to deal with whatever water-based attacks the pair would try to use, would set its sights on the Hydreigon, trying to get its aim together, and fire off an Ice Beam at the dark dragon.

Any of the Houndour that managed to break ahead would start to spew Flamethrowers, graduating from hot air, to jets of fire in their assault.

it takes a moment for fernando to recognize that his attacks are futile. only then does he change his plan, taking charge and verbally ordering his blastoise to respond. "FLASH CANNON." an audible click sounds from deep within blastoise's shell and it takes the chance to change the innate ammo that comes from both shoulder cannons. while the gastrodon makes the mistake of responding to another threat, blastoise has clear grounds to follow up with another blast. this time the beam is silver in color, shining as it blinds those on the other end.

repeated blasts come out one by one, standard artillery fire at a steady rate. this grants the houndoom a chance to stockpile enough energy for the inevitable SOLAR BEAM but with what little sun there is the attack tickles compared to one launched from optimal conditions. it lands a square hit but the blastoise won't buckle underneath the pressure. not on the first hit and certainly not from that one. the houndour that come forth are nothing more then pest. while blastoise can handle them, fernando reaches for another pokeball. what comes forth is his seimitoad, one of the few pokemon that have yet to see any proper use.

"MUDDY WATER."

he commands it not because he needs to but to eliminate the possibility of the pokemon ever being caught unaware, unsure of what to do. while autonomy is a big core of how his pokemon operate, someone like seimitoad, who's yet to be fully ingrained, has the chance of being caught off guard in an unfamiliar situation. his command give the pokemon guidance, which is materialized by the huge deluge of brown, murky water that spills forth and threatens to sweep them away.

The Gastrodon's focus would be broken by the barrage of Flash Cannons coming from the Blastoise. The flash of silver light would blind the Gastrodon, throwing off its shot, while giving Kalameet a mark on its position. The Hydreigon would fire off a pair of Dragon Pulses from two of its heads, blasting at the large slug. The combined onslaught of the Flash Cannons, as well as the Dragon Pulses, were more than enough to take out the Gastrodon, thus freeing up the use of Water attacks.

Before the Seismitoad would unleash the torrent of Muddy Water to sweep up the wave of Houndour, Kiryu would emerge from the snow-covered earth, behind the group. Whatever would remain conscious from the wave of Muddy Water would be finished off by the ensuing Rock Slide called down by the Flygon.

The leader, and most of the attacking gang members, gripped onto trees so as to not be swept up by the Muddy Water. All they could do was watch on in horror as the two-pronged attack would finish off their Pokemon. Those that failed to find something to grab onto would be rendered unconscious as the wave of Muddy Water subsided.

"Shit, retreat!", the leader called out, recalling his Pokmeon before making a break for it. The conscious members of the Poochyenas would frantically recall their unconscious Pokemon, before making a break for it. Kiryu would attempt to give chase, aiming to grab whoever he could.

When all was said and done, Thomas and Kalameet flew over to the unconscious Poochyenas. At this point, Thomas pulled out a pack of cable ties from a pouch on a saddle fitted to the Hydreigon. He would begin to cuff the hands of the unconscious bandits, and placing them in a grouped up area. He would bring Brutus back out. "Brutus, keep an eye on them.", he would tell the Pangoro. "I'll call this in!", he'd tell Fernando, as he reached for his phone.

as expected, they make short work of the pitiful resistance that the gang manages to put up. tch. if it could be called that. with their purpose finished, fernando recalls his seismitoad and blastoise. they prove too weighty and bulky to provide any use now. he'll go back to relying on his more nimble ice types to navigate the altered terrain. they'll be enough to secure those that can't make a speedy escape. their haul? enough criminals to fill up a cramp cell.

"good work."

his pokemon remain and set up a perimeter around their tied up captives. unless they wish to perish to the winter's cold, they'll know better then to struggle and break free. fernando makes a call of his own and the case notes for today's incident will wait on his desk when he gets back. he'll be sure to note thomas' expertise and how cleanly he handled himself. as for the rest, that's private notes for fernando and the ever growing database of league operatives he has hidden for his own personal use.
