une[break][break]

dusk looms on the horizon as it seeks to conquer and overpower. the signal pulses constantly though its location hasn't moved. only a mere hour has passed as league units convene at the rendezvous point. time is of the essence, and so pleasantries will have to be postponed as the rescue team start their mission:[break][break]

save .[break][break]

six pm. the subtle aqua glow of the moon casts over the forest that litter the vicinity. while the warehouses might be on the outskirts of slateport, it feels more isolated. maybe even stranded. there lies only a single path that leads towards the mountains, where the warehouses sit in wait at the base of it.[break][break]

the rescue team doesn't get far before harsh sounds of men bantering fill the air. the two men haven't noticed but their gardevoir's TRACE alerts them instantly. they turn, breath drenched in alcohol and words slurred to nothingness but it is their actions that convey their message.[break][break]

two men. six pokemon charging to attack.[break][break]

what do you do?[break][break]

[break]
[break][break][break]

summary:
  • it's currently six pm in the evening.
  • the path leads to the warehouses. however, you may choose to explore a different route but just remember: actions have consequences!
  • two men, presumably rocket, are determined to fight you.
  • their teams are as listed above.
[break]

additional rules:
  • you are free to react however you want.
  • if you choose to engage in battle, you may use as many pokemon as you want.
  • please write out your actions and not the results. mod post will decide that!
  • e.g. silas attempts to use self-destruct; instead of: silas used self-destruct and kills all silphs.
  • next mod post is in 48-hours (01/18).

He knew that entering Slateport was insanely dangerous, especially now that it was a hotbed of Rocket activity. While he hadn’t been around when the city had fallen to enemy hands, he knew that the call he’d agreed to answer was rather dire—that the commissioner of the League had been captured, and now that they’d been found: save them.

Well, shit, he thought to himself with a sigh, having come in as discreetly as possible to the rendezvous point. Knowing that he’d be going with five other individuals, he saved the pleasantries for later as time was of the essence…and if they didn’t move fast enough, who knew what the fuck was going to happen if they failed?

Would they be vilified? Mocked? Chased away and out of the League altogether, forced to live like vigilantes if they failed? One thing was for sure, though—failure wasn’t an option.

Now that they’d picked their way through the outskirts, following the last known location of wherever the signal was coming from, he heard voices. Loud, raucous—drunk—voices, laughing about some kind of Arceus-knew-what rabble…but it wasn’t long before they were spotted, and shit, the (enemy) cavalry was coming their way.

“You’ve got to be kidding me…” he hissed under his breath, doing a quick count of the six Pokémon that were headed their way. Okay, not Alpha. Should I start strong and send Ro out? No, wait, even Javert’s a bad idea… that Gardevoir will destroy him, he thought, quickly pulling a Pokéball at random and tossing it forward, hoping for the best.

The silhouette of a Swampert emerged from the burst of red light, and he let out a minute sigh of relief—at least he knew that Suijin was capable enough of countering, or at least standing up evenly, against most of the attackers.

“Sui, get ready with a Rock Slide for me,” he said towards his long-time companion, and the dual-type stared down at the incoming rush of Pokémon, before preparing to block off the incoming attackers.



- no time to waste at the incoming horde
- sends out Swampert and prepares a Rock Slide as a first line of 'defense' against whatever attacks will come barreling their way

Third times the charm, right?

Stormy had now been in Slateport three times, the first two resulting in cowardice and disaster. Now, however, she was standing strong with five other powerful League members who hopefully had her back through all of this.

The mission was simple, locate and rescue Dahlia Goode. They had already been given the general location of the commissioner and it was now only a matter of time before they determined whether or not this rescue attempt was actually a trap.

The Silph arrived on scene early with Laurence Anderson. He seemed nervous, but no more so than she herself probably looked. Sweat was trickling down her back, and she could feel her hands tingle with anticipation. The other four members fell into place alongside her.

Unfortunately, they weren't alone. Of course, they had been expecting something like this, but the run-in she had had a while ago during her second escapade to Slateport had not given her fond memories.

Just ahead, the sound of drunken stupor and laughter rose from two daft-looking Rocket grunts. Unfortunately, despite them being out of sorts and acting like idiots, they locked onto the six undisguised League members who were traisping into enemy territory like they owned the place.

Well.. they had, once upon a time.

Laurence took the first leap of faith, seemingly stuck on who to throw out. Stormy sucked in her breath of fear, reaching for her pokeballs. Her eyes locked onto the most obvious enemy, the ruby red Scizor.

Her thoughts flashed back to when @mihai's Scizor rescued her from the burning temple. This wasn't his Pokemon, though. This was the enemies.

Stormy tossed out a pokeball, a Chandelure appearing. It spun around merrily, before getting down to business.

"Chandelure, try to burn the Scizor with Will-O-Wisp. But, I'd like you to focus on taking down the Gardevoir. Just be careful!"

Four twinkling flames from the four arms of the chandelier-ghost's arms danced across the terrain as they winked in and out of focus. They travelled quickly towards their desired target, hopefully clinging to the spirit of the Scizor to burn it continuously.

The Pokemon then turned to the Gardevoir, and it's four arms came together to form a very deadly-looking shadow ball. With a couple of seconds of focus that hopefully went uninterrupted, the Chandelure fired off the shadow ball towards the Gardevoir.

Stormy then turned to the rest of her team.

"Don't try to show off or be reckless, we're a team! Let's work together."

tldr:
> sends out chandelure to use will-o-wisp on scizor
> chandelure also attempts to slam gardevoir with shadow ball
> stormy encourages her team to stick together and protect one another

It was probably a good thing that others had arrived before Natsu did, her eyes glinted with no small amount of excitement and the grin on her face probably resembled a gengar's just a tiny bit too much. Nervousness? Bah! Dire Seriousness? Bahahahahaha! Red hair had been pulled back into a tight braid and wrapped around her head to keep from snagging on anything. Somewhat tight fitted black clothes and gloves, decent hiking or combat boots, she was dressed to perfection so she didn't get any hang ups or anyone grabbing something to keep her behind.

Once met up she glanced at the others, nobody seemed to talk yet and frankly she couldn't be bothered with them. Sure they were here to rescue the leader of sorts for the League, but inwardly? It was probably a trap, it seemed too perfect that such a high profile target would just be in a warehouse in the middle of nowhere. She came with her superior and a fellow member under the same one, but the real reason she came? Well two such reasons just showed up in a drunken state.

Natsu lightly licked her lips as her grin spread even more, a quick glance over the pokemon sent out between the rockets already had her reaching for Richard's pokeball. But as she heard words being spoken around her and other pokemon being brought out she was broke out of her revere... No it wasn't the time to let Richard out yet, not if they wanted an actual signal fire to every Rocket within a ten mile or more radius. No her eyes rested on that Gardevoir that probably outed them and would potentially be a problem. "Hah...... Strobe.." She plucked on of her pokeballs up and released the Magneton from within who gave a soft hum in response.

"Take that psychic out with extreme prejudice, Flash Cannon." Magneton gathered the light energy before the beam from the steal attack was shot towards the Gardevoir. That was not all however as she brought Phillipe her Sandslash out and glanced down at him. "Phillipe watch our surroundings, if anyone appears... or they try to run... Magnitude." Phillipe gave a little grunt but didn't speak up loudly, already he looked closely around the surroundings. Natsu on the other hand was staring at the rockets as if she found her prey, a hand going down to a sheath on her right side that held the small blade stolen on her way out of being captured a few years ago. Her fingers flexing as if itching to grab at it instead of just hovering over the handle.




Notes: Strobe the Magneton chosen and tries to use flash cannon on gardevoir. Phillipe the Sandslash is put on standby with magnitude ready for reinforcements or retreat. Natsu is grinning and staring at the rockets like a panther to prey.

This had 'trap' written all over it.

Thomas was telling himself that there was no way that Team Rocket didn't find the tracker on the Commissioner. Even if their takeover of the city, by many accounts, had been rough, given the loss of the power plant and shipyard, they were still talking about an organization that toppled a Region, and were moving onto another, having still taken a city. Considering how long they had the Commissioner in captivity, they had to have found the tracker, and what they'd find in that warehouse would probably be the tracker having been separated from her, or if they were lucky, the Commissioner herself as bait. Either way, it'd involve explosives planted in the warehouse, or an army of Rockets ready to mow down whoever entered.

He just hoped that one of the other three that came along with them had a Lucario, or something that could give them a clue on what awaited them inside.

The Interpol Agent came garbed in a charcoal gray sweater that all but hugged his upper body, a matching pair of pants, combat boots worn over the ankles, black gloves, and a ski mask currently rolled up above his face, being worn just on the top of his head. He would be wearing light body armor over the sweater, as well as knee and elbow pads. Along with his six Pokeballs being placed in easily accessed areas, his revolver and collapsible baton were holstered, and ready to be drawn, if necessary.

It was clear that the Agent was taking this seriously, being prepared for a fight, while his armor was just light enough to make stealth a possibility.

Thomas only greeted the other three League members with a nod, before setting out with them. He had debriefed Lao and Natsu before they set out to Slateport. Whatever words or pleasantries they had for one another could wait until after the mission was done. Thomas was fine with this, wanting to get this mission done, and over with.

Thomas would hear the two drunken Rockets bantering with one another. One thing lead to another, and six Pokemon would be converging onto them, which was fine with Thomas. The fact that they were drunk could either have meant that the orders they'd have given their Pokemon wouldn't be the best, or it would've made them that much more dangerous. Given their slurred speech, it seemed they were too drunk for their own good, but Thomas wasn't going to get too comfortable. Thomas plucked Colt's Pokeball out of its place, sending out the Clawitzer quickly.

"Shoot down that Hydreigon with Aura Sphere!", ordered Thomas.

The Clawitzer would charge up a ball of Aura, focusing his sight on the dark dragon. Colt's Mega Launcher gave the Aura Sphere a brilliant glow, before it was fired off at the Hydreigon. The sphere would come floating in the Hydreigon's direction, as if homing in on it.

Thomas would send out Brutus the Pangoro as well, having the old Pangoro remain close to him, should one of their Pokemon get in close quarters with them.

Was he important for this mission? Probably not. He simply was there to provide backup and up their numbers, after all. Not that he minded though, since he did sign up for this the moment he affiliated himself with the league.

He arrived riding his Manectric, the large canine providing itself useful with its senses and the mobility it would offer Kyle should they get to any undesirable situation. Dark clothing would provide himself comfort in the night. Paranoia had him wearing a kevlar vest beneath a zipped-up jacket. He strapped up his Manectric with essentials, such as a medkit and a bunch of potions, on the saddle he equipped the canine with. Aside from a pistol hidden within his person, he came in light otherwise.

"We're causing this much of a ruckus?" he asked. He understood why they did so, considering their presence were already detected by the Gardevoir. Still, he wondered if there were more careful options to approach this. Even if there were, he figured they wouldn't be able to switch stances now that attacks have been fired.

He tried to ignore Stormy's words. That was understood by everyone in the unit, and did not deserve a special mention, which ticked him off somehow. She meant well though, to which he tried to convince himself to think of that instead. Plucking a ball out of his repertoire of Pokemon, he focused on the objective instead. "Ninetales, the screens."

The Alolan variant of a Ninetales came out, its willowy presence summoning a blizzard. A tap on its head, which was a feat to do atop the Manectric, caused the hail to mellow out in an instant. Aurora Veil activated, and afterwards, Safeguard. Six of them against the two trainers guaranteed a win, though Kyle would like to keep any damage from retaliation to a minimum this early in the game.

tl;dr:
  • Arrives riding his cargo Manectric
  • Sends his A-Ninetales out.
  • Blizzard starts, but is quickly calmed down to a less intense blizzard.
  • A-Ninetales uses Aurora Veil and Safeguard.

deux[break][break]

the winds howl with a chill that announces the rescue team's presence in perfect fashion. 's a-ninetales' presence stirs up the battlefield in a BLIZZARD that makes the two rockets curse profanities.[break][break]

's swampert tries to build the team's first line of defense with a ROCK SLIDE that trembles the ground as large boulders slam into the earth, piling atop each other as it looks to build a literal wall.[break][break]

the six pokemon split their formation. swampert's ROCK SLIDE is enough to stop arbok as the poison-type is unable to slither its way around in time. it takes the brunt of the damage and is left fainted.[break][break]

scizor is quick but not quick enough to avoid the WILL-O-WISP that comes from 's chandelure. but maybe it wasn't trying to dodge it. its steely-red skin catches on fire, burning and scorching but it doesn't slow down. a single BULLET PUNCH is thrown but it's only to close the distance for a powerful NIGHT SLASH.[break][break]

the tag-team on gardevoir is successful: SHADOW BALL and FLASH CANNON hit in quick succession and the damage done is substantial. the psychic-type falls to the ground even before it has a chance to attack. the teamwork between and @natsu is natural and powerful.[break][break]

's stoic presence cuts through the air much like his clawitzer's AURA SPHERE. thomas will not be as lucky as his partners. hydreigon tanks it with ease, seemingly unaffected by the powerful attack.[break][break]

DRAGON PULSE emerges from hydreigon, rippling towards both 's clawitzer and 's manectric, and by extension, kyle, too. hydreigon doesn't stop flying, not until it's close enough to attempt a DRAGON RUSH on clawitzer.[break][break]

the team's efforts are good but not good enough.[break][break]

the sandslash, left untouched, has long DUG into the ground only to reappear right in front of . sandslash SLASHES its claws at her legs.[break][break]

meanwhile, mightyena's SUCKER PUNCH looks to catch 's swampert off guard. and if that's not enough, an additional PLAY ROUGH looks to send the water-ground-type to the ground.[break][break]

two down. four left. but for some reason it feels as though the battle's getting more difficult. the two rocket in the background and started their approach as well. it's clear they're struggling to stay on their feet. they fumble for some sort of communication device.[break][break]

what do you do?[break][break]

"Ninetales," Kyle called, his voice steeled and unwavering. "Throw yourself at the Hydreigon."

Hydreigon were a Fairy-type's natural prey. His Ninetales should have no worries about facing a Pokemon with a type disadvantage. On command, the dual-type came rushing in and intercepted the attack before it could reach its trainer, the Dragon Pulse practically doing nothing on it. Eyes were set on the target given to him, closing in as the Dragon-type tried to reach the Clawitzer with its own attack.

"Moonblast."

It was still early in the evening, though the presence of the moon was still there to support the move. Gathering the light from the moon, energy collected on the dual-type's mouth before blasting the collective orb of moonlight at the Hydreigon at close range. The Ninetales was still a fragile thing, although that did not stop it from trying to interrupt the dragon before it reached the Clawitzer.

Kyle pulled his Manectric away from the commotion. While it was capable of fighting, and very much so excited to fight, Kyle wouldn't want to risk losing the items he had on it should the Electric-type go wild. The better option was to steer it away from as much mess as it could, which is what Kyle did with a motion of his feet, much like what one would direct a steed on horseback.

Eyes scanned around, trying to see who else needed assistance.

tl;dr:
  • Aurora Veil/Safeguard still active
  • Tells Ninetales to intercept the attack
  • Uses Moonblast at close range before it could reach the Clawitzer
  • Steers Manectric out of trouble
  • Looks for more things to do

Thomas could only look on in disbelief as the Hydreigon seemingly took the powerful attack with ease. While he knew that it wouldn't just bring down the Hydreigon in a single blow, an Aura Sphere, especially coming from the likes of a Clawitzer, should've done more damage to a Hydreigon. It made Thomas question if the Hydreigon had some fortifications to its defenses, or if it was just feigning it. In any case, a Dragon Pulse was hurdling towards Colt.

"Intercept with Dragon Pulse!", called out Thomas.

Colt would fire off a Dragon Pulse of his own, in an attempt to hit the Dragon Pulse hurdling towards him, and cancel it out. As the dark dragon got ready to slam into the Clawitzer with a Dragon Rush, Thomas was just about ready to have Brutus intercept the creature for an attack, when Kyle's Ninetales instead took the attack for him. If the Hydreigon didn't go down from the Moonblast, then there was definitely some sort of fortification this Hydreigon had.

Thomas quickly looked to Kyle. "Thanks for that.", Thomas told him quickly, before scanning the battlefield, seeing a Sandslash emerging from the ground near Stormy.

"Brutus, Bullet Punch to get close to Stormy, and grab her!", Thomas called, pointing to the girl. "Colt, Water Pulse!", he ordered.

Brutus would throw a Bullet Punch, getting himself close to Stormy, and attempting to pick her up before the Sandslash could get to her legs. Colt, for his part, fired off a Mega Launcher-backed Water Pulse at the Sandslash, attempting to snipe the Ground-type quickly.

Stormy notices the aurora veil and safeguard. The two moves are like shimmering mirrors, a barrier between them and the enemy. But it's this distraction that costs her valuable time and safety.

Chandelure has landed both of her attacks. The Scizor's skin is burning and appears to be in some semblance of pain. It uses its fists to bullet punch its way closer. The fire-type Pokemon, still focused on the Gardevoir as it fell in defeat, was not prepared for the Scizor's follow-up move. The steel bug slashes at her with a deadly night slash.

Fortunately, due to the aurora veil and its burn, the physical-based move's power is reduced significantly. This doesn't mean it still hurts, however. The Chandelure cries out in surprise and pain, retaliating quickly. Her body overheats in response to the attack, a defence mechanism she isn't sure she had before.

As her body envelopes in white-hot heat, hopefully setting the Scizor on fire if it's still close to her after its previous attack, the overheat attack explodes like a bomb, the flames reaching several feet. The further it reaches, however, the fewer flames will touch surrounding Pokemon.

Meanwhile, Stormy has drawn her attention back to the front of the battle instead of staring at the pretty veil of lights. Unfortunately, she's met with the terrifying, murderous face of a Sandslash. Panic swells in her chest as the creature attacks her with it's claws. She stumbles backwards, a scream rising in her chest.

Thomas' Pangoro attempts to close the distance between her and the Sandslash, but she's pretty sure she's felt at least the sting of claws leave marks on her legs.

Her eyes flash upwards as she takes note of the two Team Rocket grunts. Even through the pain that may be verberating in her legs, she takes note of the drunken idiots as they fumble for their communication devices. They're trying to call for backup. This battle just keeps getting more and more intense.

Another pokeball flies out of her hand, this time her Skarmory appears. It flies around her a couple times, worried about her potential injuries.

"Stop them from reaching their communication devices! Don't let them call for help."

At once, the Skarmory turns, using autotomize. Feathers seem to fall off of its body as it lessens its weight to increase speed. It takes off like a rocket, her wings spreading wide as it comes in close. She attempts to use STEEL WING to slice up the grunts hands and prevent them from using them ever again to call for help.

tldr:
> chandelure is hit by scizor's night slash, tanks it like a boss.
> chandelure uses overheat in retaliation to try and burn scizor to a crisp
> stormy falls backward and is maybe saved by pangoro before her legs are turned to ribbons
> stormy sees the team rocket grunts trying to call for help
> stormy releases skarmory to try and stop them
> skarmory uses autotomize and steel wing to try and cut off/stop the grunts from using their hands

Good the Gardevoir was down, but those drunken idiots didn't seem to take the hint and DARED to try to find their things to communicate... Or were they searching for more pokeballs? Honestly Natsu didn't know and frankly didn't really care, why should she when the inevitable would happen? She grabbed a pokeball and released Him towards the two rockets and only now noticed as the Skarmory shot ahead. "I would suggest you get your bird out of there before he gets crispy!"

"Richard the goons in the hats!" The Chandelure turned to see the two drunk men and shivered in the air in glee, his flames expanded a little bit to form a cheshire grin before he floated forward. First he used Smog to try to engulf the two rockets before a fire spin went forward to ignite it in the hopes of trapping them in a fire tornado.

Natsu on the other hand completely ignored Richard after that single sentence and looked towards the Scizor instead, how DARE they try to use a pokemon they killed of hers... well it wasn't Tomoe but an evolution and not related but STILL... Natsu may or may not be thinking straight at the moment as she pointed towards the steel type bug. "Strobe lock on and Zap that thing out of the sky!" Strobe trained his attention on the pokemon, using Lock-on before Zap Cannon was used. The electric cannon like blast surged forward, but after it was sent Strobe kind of swayed in the air a bit exhausted using two cannon moves in such a short time.




Notes: Richard the Chandelure attempted to use smog then fire spin on the rockets. Strobe the Magneton attempted to use Lock-on then Zap Cannon on the Scizor.

As the last few boulders from his Swampert’s Rock Slide fell into place, he’d noticed that it had cut off and subsequently squashed the Arbok and stopped it from advancing further. Who knew what the hell it was capable of, at least that was one part of the opposition out of the running. While he’d deliberately delayed not sending out his strongest (because really, Ro would just snipe everything from somewhere if he asked) he decided to play it low.

At least for the moment.

Looking over at the rest of the combatants, he saw the Gardevoir taken down and out as well—a good sign; as Fairy-types were literally deadly to anything that was part-Dragon—which was why he was so hesitant on sending Javert out in the first place. Another one down, he thought idly, looking up just in time from his private musing to see that the two operatives that were now cursing them out like hell had reached for their communication devices—but two of his companions’ Pokémon took to the skies and quickly served to counter that from happening.

…which now left him with a Mightyena. Okay, the Sucker Punch was bad enough—he’d definitely been caught by surprise as his Swampert was forced backwards, but the second attack he could at least attempt to deflect!

“Sui! Defend yourself!” he called out a few moments later, watching as the Swampert tried to throw up a defensive Protect so it could bounce away from the attack. Whatever happened, he hoped that the recoil from the Protect would deflect the Mightyena far enough—and he hoped the Swampert would be fast enough to catch the canid in a surprise attack.

Hydro Pump it in the face!” he added, hoping that the powerful blast of water’s aim was true and would knock the Dark-type down.

- attempts to use a Protect to deflect the incoming Play Rough attack
- if successful: attempts to launch a Hydro Pump at close-range right in the Mightyena's face

Lao cursed as he ran towards his team. He had stayed back to make sure they weren't followed, only to hear the sounds of battle ensue. As he approached the conflict, he took in the battle field and quickly made his decision.



"Ira,get on those grunts and put them to sleep! Superbi, Swords Dance then Close Combat on the Mightyena. If you can move fast enough, get the Hydreigon too."



Lao's shadow shot forward, the ghost inside of it cackling as it went. Ira, Lao's long time Gengar partner, rose from the ground in front of the Rockets, it's eyes aglow with the power of hypnosis. Ira hungered, and she decided that if her little master didn't give her further orders, she would probably attack the feeble meatsuit's dreams for sustenance.



As Ira handled her business, Superbi was finishing his dance and shot forward, attempting to blindside the hound with his's fists. The Gallade hoped to finish this opponent quickly, that Hydreigon looked like trouble and would need to get dealt with.



After seeing more event unfold, Lao quickly released Bradipo, his Cryogonal. "Bradipo, get everyone's defenses up. Reflect and Light Screen." And with a groan, the ice type did as it was bid.



_____________________________________________



Ira the Gengar attempts to use Hypnosis on both grunts. If successful, she will cast Dream Eater on them.

Superbi the Gallade will use Swords Dance and attempts to use Close Combat on Mightyena. If he finishes it quickly enough, or if it faints before he gets to it, he will Teleport to the Hydreigon and attempt to Close Combat it.

Bradipo the Cryogonal will use Reflect and Light Screen to try and protect the rest of the party.



Team: Gengar, Gallade, Cryogonal, Turtonator, Mudsdale

SAUVETAGE (DE)




[attr="class","ipad"]
trois[break][break]

is the first to react. his ninetales tanks the dragon-attack with relative ease, seeming unaffected by it. hydreigon is too honed in on its attack to even notice the MOONBLAST flying towards it but it doesn't matter (thanks to aero's 45 roll). the fairy attack hits straight on but the dark-dragon persists, wings lunging with great strength as its tail swings down for a powerful DRAGON RUSH.[break][break]

the damage is overwhelming. 's clawitzer faints as a result; this renders its attempt to snipe sandslash useless.[break][break]

however, 's legs are saved by 's pangoro. the BULLET PUNCHdoes enough to stop the one SLASH, but not the other. stormy's LEFT LEG is sliced by the sharp claws of sandslash as the attack splits flesh, drawing blood. with a large wound on her leg, will find it difficult to put weight on it, let alone walk.[break][break]

blood for blood.[break][break]

's skarmory seeks to level out the playing field. as it soars through the air, one of the rocket grunts, out of sheer drunkenness, stumbles forward just enough to avoid the sharp, STEEL WINGS of the skarmory. but the other grunt is not as lucky: both his hands are sliced clean off.[break][break]

the onslaught doesn't stop there. a sudden SMOG spreads through the battlefield and the next moment, boom. the two rockets are trapped within the FIRE SPIN by @natsu's chandelure. screams of pain screech through the air before being muffled and lost within the thick red clouds.[break][break]

their charred remains fall to the ground.[break][break]

with no instructions, their pokemon soon fall, too.[break][break]

the combined efforts of @natsu, , and @kuru is enough to down the remainder of the team. there is no use for @kuru's HYPNOSIS because the grunts are dead.[break][break]

as the battle dwindles down and the scene returns to relative normal, a breeze flows through the vicinity, peeling away at the ashes of the grunts. there's nothing standing in between you and the warehouses now, which lie not too far ahead.[break][break]

what do you do?[break][break]

[break]
[break][break][break]

summary:
  • it's ten minutes past six in the evening.
  • the path leads to the warehouses. however, you may choose to explore a different route but just remember: actions have consequences!
  • two men, presumably rocket, are dead.
  • their teams are downed; you cannot capture/steal them.
  • good job, you monsters.
[break]

additional rules:
  • this round is mostly about your characters reacting to the battle/scene.
  • you can take this round to assess the damage, react, and then proceed ahead if you choose to.
  • next mod post will be in 48 hours (1/23).

Was death really necessary to down drunk people?

A bead of cold sweat rolled through the side of his head, suddenly unsure about associating himself with these people. He was but a civilian a while ago, signing himself up to the league's forces with a vision of simply doing paperwork or leisure patrols. Death happening in front of his eyes was not what he expected to be doing a few years later. He supposed he has to grow up one way or another.

They may be criminals, beasts with no regard for what was right or wrong, though it still conflicted with Kyle's own stance about life. Regardless, he decided to swallow his morals for until the mission was done. He did not have much experience in these kinds of missions anyways to make a judgement.

"Stormy!" he called, voice brusque and urgent, hiding the underlying worry of his statement. Of course her speech about teamwork was a red flag. Luckily, she did not sustain more injuries.

Kyle had known of her from before, enough for him to worry over her more than the others. He stepped from his Manectric, grabbing the first-aid kit he had on the saddle strapped onto the Electric-type before rushing to her side, motioning both of his Pokemon to follow after him. The gash looked more concerning the closer he got to them.

Leaning down, he pressed a handkerchief he kept on his pockets onto the wound, before applying pressure on it with his Ninetale's paw. The cold that the Ice-type releases should keep the wound numb. "You still wanna go, right?" he'd ask, all with a nonchalant tone and a deadpan expression, as he opened the medkit at hand. Somehow, he already knew the answer he'll get from her.

Getting what he needed, he'd take off the pressure from Stormy's leg. "We can get it stitched later," he told her as he finally started disinfecting the wound, bandaging it right after. Kyle wasn't much of a full-time medic as much as he knows the basics of first aid. "Could help you get on top of my Manectric if you want?" he would offer as he finished dressing it accordingly. "That girl won't be participating in fights anyways."

He'd beckon his Manectric closer, before remembering the rest of the supplies he brought. "Potions here if you need them," he'd remind the rest. On hindsight, what he brought may not be enough as he cannot overload his Manectric. Getting too much would slow it down after all. It was the least he could do, being uncertain of his abilities as a fighter anyways. Should they get to decide anything, he was there to support it, as long as it remained reasonable.

tl;dr:
  • Tries to ignore the murder
  • Addresses Stormy's wound
  • Offers for her to ride his Manectric
  • Asks everyone if they're in need potions
  • Will follow everyone else's course of action
