cait laughed airily, amused by her pokemon's antics as they playfully batted at one another.

"
you two are beyond silly."

she flashed her teeth as the corners of her painted lips tugged upwards to form into a broad grin. the young woman had idled away whilst observing the pair, enjoying the moment of peace which was a rare thing to be had nowadays. 

'there's always something to do,' she thought.

cait didn't loathe her busy schedule but she held no qualms with setting time aside to relax. a gradual accumulation of stress would cause her to grow increasingly sloppy and uncoordinated if she fully transitioned into becoming a workaholic. so she invested no less than five days every month toward pure relaxation; often indulging in a bit of light travel as she purposefully distanced herself from mauville. 

she took steps to make sure sure her leave days were sporadic, the girl unwilling to have rocket potentially storm her city while she was noticeably absent.

"
what's this?

cait had been seated at the path's edge, enjoying the warmth that permeated the air when one of her leafeon approached her. between their sharp teeth was a thoroughly trampled flower, the pitiful thing limp and on its way to being dead. 

"
poor thing," she remarked, a hint of sadness coloring her tone. 

the grass-type deposited the plant before her, a curious gleam in their eye as they observed their mistress gingerly handle its flattened stem. cait's gaze intensified as her shimmering orbs flashed with a curious light; the flower she held soon returning to its previous state. 

"
it should live a while longer."

she offered it a dainty sniff, its scent underwhelming yet pleasant.

Haunter is invisible hanging around the second Leafeon ready to hypno, Kecleon is in the first Leafeon’s shadow via shadow sneak - also ready to strike. Togepi is sleeping on Goro’s chest and his Lickitung is following. Other two Pokémon are in their balls.[attr="id","pls"]



That was her, Goro noted, as she watched the girl he had ran into while in Mauville. Cait she had said, the Gym Leader. Cait the Gyn Leader just brought a flower to life. What the fuck.

He had been traveling back from his little stit in show bizz when he decided to give Petalburg City a stroll. More specifically the woods. Because he wanted some peace and quiet. Now this. Another smoke session ruined because of a Gym Leader, even worse, this one was like magic.

His thoughts were, as usual, disturbed by a tongue. It was his Betty White, tickling his ear as she gave him a smug grin. Rubbing the bridge of his nose he pointed towards the Leafeon and did the one thing his Haunter actually understood. He bit his lip. Her grin turned fiendish as she dipped into the shadows. Nudging the Keckelon who clung to his leg, he pointed to the same shadow the Haunter had fled to. Begrudgingly, he followed. All that left was the Togepi, strapped to the front of his chest like a baby, and his Lickitung who was sitting idly behind him. Goro glanced at the snoozing Togepi and thought it best he stay that way. Besides, it was the sheer luck a Togepi held that Goro kept this cry baby around.

Ready to make their move... He stepped out of the wooded area: a Togepi sleeping on his chest, a Lickitung waddling begins him, and a joint in one hand. ”Bonjour, hope I wasn’t interrupting.” Goro said as his little entourage followed. Keckelon remained hidden in the shadows of the nearest Leafeon to Goro due to his shadow sneak and was ready to strike with a shadow claw at his signal, which was the same signal for his invisible Haunter to leap out and hypnotize the other Leafeon; Goro sticking his tongue out. For now, he’d keep that idea at bay.

”I was looking for a place to smoke and didn’t expect to see you.” He told her with his faux Kalosian accent. His piercing blue eyes snapped to the rejuvenated flower, and he added, ”Or that.” Goro wondered what would be the weirder question: why is your hair silver or how did you bring a plant to life?

cait was caught mostly unawares; both the woman and her respective companions far too preoccupied by the flower's revival to be alerted to goro's presence. the trap was successfully lain as a result, the trio allotted only enough time to stiffen and grow increasingly aware that something was amiss the moment the rocket-affiliated male had made his introduction. 

"
i see," she remarked, noncommittally. 

she resisted that urge to bite her lip. 

'i'm being careless.'

the moment his sharp-eyed gaze settled upon the flower was the moment her fingers gently closed around the delicate plant, her eyes narrowing as she returned the curious gaze with a hostile one. 
cait's leafeon twitched their prominent ears in unison, their pupiless gazes settling upon the man. 

"
turn around and walk away."  

she made the 'turn around' gesture with her finger, indicating that he should forget about whatever he had seen before taking his leave.

Trap card activated. Haunter used Hypnosis on one Leafeon while Kecleon does his wombocombo. Lickitung is freaked out by Cait and uses Disable on her. Togepi uses yawn at Cait as well, just to get her drowsy.[attr="id","pls"]



Goro turned... and did the opposite of course. He took a step towards her and stuck his tongue out, a mocking face to the gym leader, and a signal to his pokemon. They struck in union: Saint Vincent striking first and fast from the shadow sneak with a jab followed by her slashing the Leafeon with shadow covered claws, meanwhile, Haunter made itself visible and used hypnosis on the other Leafeon. It was all over in the blink of an eye, darkness and shadows now surrounded Cait and her Leafeon(s).

"I think we could have a chat, in fact." Goro said as he approached ever closer, his Lickitung pulling up beside him. The pokemon's tongue slithered around, poking and prodding, tasting the air about Cait. Something tasted... off. Powerful. His Lickitung kept his eyes locked on the not-human. Jack wasn't sure what she was, but she wasn't like his Trainer. Not at all. His tongue zipped back to his mouth as he gave the not-human a final glare, those beady eyes flashing briefly as he disabled her from moving.

Setting himself up in front of her, he patted the head of Troye his Togepi and a gentle yawn escaped his lips. "Let's start talking about your little magic trick." Goro chirped.

one leafeon was successfully rendered unconscious while the other had been wounded. it was an unfortunate situation but still very much salvageable. if she hadn't been taken by complete surprise she'd have been able to avoid being caught up in such a predicament. 

'rocket.' 

he positively reeked of it. 

"
'magic trick?'"

cait feigned innocence, visibly unperturbed by the male's swagger and posturing as he sought to close the distance between them. 

'a peacock,' she thought, a hint of amusement surfacing within her shimmering gaze. 

"
'a sleight of hand', you mean?"

the raw sensation of disable was a combination of odd and unfamiliar. it was no thunder wave nor was it a glare, it merely - and temporarily - clamped down on something that was held within. she wasn't particularly fond of the sensation but she wouldn't for a moment describe it as 'unbearable' and was very much curious to what its side effects might be. 

'i can still move. so being rendered immobile isn't one of them.' 

cait experimentally twitched her fingers, her hands conveniently placed upon her lap as she peered eyed the man. she betrayed nothing as she maintained an outwardly calm facade, her mind going over several hastily put together plans at once before she settled on one. thankfully she managed that before the yawn began to take effect, her eyelids lowering as she felt drowsiness begin to infect her mind. 

her injured leafeon positioned himself above his collapsed peer, his lips curled to reveal teeth as he released a noise akin to a snarl at whomever was the closest. 

"
how about - mm - this sleight of hand?"

her fingers brushed against her thigh before she gripped the hem of her dress, sliding it back only slightly to reveal a leather strap secured around her lower thigh. six pokeballs were present - but only two had been emptied of its occupants. cait managed the energy to hastily tap one before she felt herself grow increasingly sluggish and lazy, the beast contained within manifesting at his mistress's side within moments.

the large beast crouched before the pair, his narrowed gaze settling upon the pair of humans; but he made no move against goro nor his companions. he merely assessed the situation, his focus directed toward the leafeon before he cocked his head to the side and sneered down at the man. 

"
and who are you? you're brave to attack a gym leader. that's very commendable. foolish but very brave."

there was a slight slur present within the woman's tone as she allowed herself a moment to relax, visibly reassured by the presence of her beast whom served as her guardian at that moment. it was likely the dragonite would have no qualms with wielding his pointed claws if goro intended to cause direct harm to his mistress. 

- leafeon [ male ] is injured.
- leafeon [ female ] is asleep
- disable has failed against miss alfric.
- yawn has succeeded against miss alfric. 
- dragonite has been successfully summoned.

Keckleon used priority shadow sneak to topple the injured Leafeon off the sleeping one, then using snychronise from a distance. Haunter used nightmare on the sleeping Leafeon then went invisible. Lickitung has used Power Whip on Kecleon making it a grass type. Togepi used Sweet KISS to confuse the Dragonite.[attr="id","pls"]



Well hello big guy. The Dragonite towered over all of them. A silent sentinel. Jack was first to act, who used his whip like tongue to smack the kecleon into action.

Saint acted as fast as night, sneaking into the shadows to lunge at the injured Leafeon with a dark empowered stab that sent them sprawling a few yards away. He then synchronised with the fellow grass type Pokémon. A wave of energy that could only be used on grass type Pokémon pulsed off the Keckelon.

The Haunter gently passed a detached claw over the sleeping Leafeon, a nightmare set into its slumbering mind. After that, she disappeared into the ethereal reality of ghost.

With the Leafeon taken care of, the dastardly dragon at a stand still, Goro approached even closer. He asked again, his contacts of cold blue staring daggers into the gym leader, ”What. just. happened.” He would have been more intimidating if he were squishing the Togepi’s face into a kissy face - sending a sweet kiss to the dragon.

cait tittered softly. 

"
i know you're trying to be intimidating - but it isn't working."

there was little point in having her leafeon remain out and about. they made for easily gotten to targets and cait had no desire for them to suffer any longer. returning them was an admittedly slow process but it occurred in a timely enough fashion, the pair placed back into the safety of their pokeball. 

"
i'm guessing you're a grunt," she said, a teasing edge present within her drawl. "we all have to start somewhere, don't we?

she sympathized. 

'i had to start somewhere, too.'

without having to be prompted a safe guard was erected by the dragon, the emergence of the sweet kiss resulting in its immediate manifestation. the debilitating attack slapped harmlessly against the shielding a moment later, the pokemon releasing a low rumbling growl in reaction to the bold attempt. 

"
i think i'm finished with this conversation. you recklessly assaulted both me and mine. and i've every right to..."

her words became a barely comprehensible slur as her eyes slid shut, her form slumped over with only her dragon-type to prevent her collapse. he gently settled a paw upon her back as she lay against him, a hint of concern creasing his round features as did so. 

- leafeon [ male ] is severely injured.
- leafeon [ female ] is injured
- leafeon [ male ] has been returned
- leafeon [ female ] has been returned
- dragonite used safe guard.
- sweet kiss on dragonite has failed. 
- miss alfric is now asleep

Lickitung used Me First on Dragonite as a preemptive attack should the Dragon intterupt. Haunter used Nightmare on Cait (can be as terrifying as you want but just a little blitz in memory or what we talked in pms. Haunter used Curse on Dragonite, lost 1/2 health and Dragonite will lose 1/4 per post after this. Kecleon used Shadow Sneak to obtain the FLOWER and used Ancient Power as a distraction for everyone to get away. Goro ATTEMPTS to leave.[attr="id","pls"]



Intimidating? Goro cocked his head at that, as he clearly had a Togepi strapped to his chest like a baby and had just been squeezing his cutie pootie little face. Her Leafeon were snatched by ribbons of red light to the safety of their pokeballs. Well, that was a bummer. He had been hoping to get his hands on one of those walking salads. Glancing up, ignoring the woman's comment about a grunt - who was she to even think he was in Team Rocket? She wasn't wrong, but he hadn't necessarily done anything than approach her... at first at least. Regardless, he concluded, that could be taken care of after the looming dragon was dealt with.

His icy eyes flickered back to Cait as she began to slur, finally shutting up about her "right" to do who knows what. The Dragonite was the only thing keeping its mistress from sleeping in the flowers... of which, Goro's observant eye noticed, she had dropped the one that had been revived. "Jack you're first." He said, as he took a step towards the flower. The Lickitung's beady eyes gleamed as they locked onto the orange beast, every move being watched. No matter what, he would be the first to act should the dragon try anything.

The shadows beneath Goro stirred, and both Saint Vincent and Betty White came forward, the latter going to feast. "Ah, ah." Goro tsk'd, she could feed on some other poor soul he thought as his Haunter hovered near the gym leader. "She needs to forget me, she needs to forget.." He began, before the shadowed claw of Kecleon appeared with the rejuvenated flower, having used shadow sneak to get it quickly. Goro picked it up and twirled it between his thumb and forefinger softly. "This. She was alone, scared - I know you like to terrorize with these things but let's keep it more mysterious, she's scared of the unknown, got it?" He told his Haunter as he described the nightmare in store for Cait.

He continued, "So, she was alone, turning to - uh... nature? I don't know. Play with her fears or anything to do with nature and shit. Her Leafeon(s) were trying to protect her and were hurt, I don't care how you get to that. She was desperate. So, so desperate. Hopeless even." He noted at the end. Hues of purple and grey surrounded the Haunter's floating claws as they neared Cait, the dragon watching closely. "Yet, she was saved by her ever so brave Dragonite, who was cursed to get her to safety before he fails himself." Goro smirked, looking the Dragon up and down. He knew these pokemon were smart, too smart for his taste, but a smart pokemon was what he needed to keep his charade going. By the time he had finished talking, both the nightmare had been placed on Cait and a curse on the Dragonite with a wicked cackle following.

Saint Vincent was snugly wrapped around his neck, Jack Black still staring the dragon down as he was floating behind held by Betty White's massive claws as they left, and Togepi still snoozed on his chest. In his hand was that flower. A single flower. That was all he got from all of this... Maybe he should find someone who knows more about plants. He kept walking, wondering where to find someone before he met the beginning of the forest. He called behind, "We all gotta start somewhere, huh?" And at that, an explosion of earth blasted around Goro as his Kecleon used ancient power to send rock and debris flying for cover.

He didn't want to be around any longer than he had to.
