"Yup. I'm all they need."[break][break]

Victoria blinked back at the red head before her. Hazel eyes locked with her lavender hued ones. They were ablaze with fiery passion and confidence. All of a sudden, though she wouldn't be able to tell due to her mask, Victoria felt a wicked grin spread across her lips as a familiar sensation washed over her. [break][break]

Yes...this was it.[break][break]

There was nothing Victoria relished in more than a display of power. Nothing brought her more pleasure than choking the life from her opponent with such overwhelming force that she got to watch the confidence fade from their eyes. Perhaps it was because it made her more secure, or maybe it was because she'd been shaped negatively by Kanto, either way she was already looking forward to playing with this little ginger snap.[break][break]

"I am Senior Ranger Cromwell. Under the Ranger core, I'm putting you under arrest. You can come quietly or we can do this the hard way." The woman before her seemed deathly serious but Victoria could help the snicker that escaped from her lips. It quickly turned into full blown laughter as she held her side. "You're cute~" Tori responded once her laughter and tears finally died down. [break][break]

A low rumble was all that could be heard before giant shadow's began to form around them. Victoria's Cloyster appeared from the murky depths and began to pull from the ocean's waters as fuel. Giant walls of water began to gather and swirl into a vortex around the ranger and her team. Victoria's certified evil villain laughter echoed around the group as they were trapped in a WHIRLPOOL, meanwhile she and her team disappeared from sight.

Freezing the vortex of water was impressive but during a HAILSTORM it could prove more detrimental for those trapped on the inside of the now dome of ice. Ice from the sky steadily pelted the now frozen vortex of water causing cracks in the ice to form. As the pellets of ice continued to rain down rhytmically against the cracks the ice found itself weakening before shattering in chunks, falling towards the party that had been trapped inside. [break][break]

Finding Victoria's scent wouldn't matter, simply because she wouldn't give them to opportunity to really search. Her Cloyster channeled energy in its maw before a piercing blue beam of water shot itself towards the group at the same time as the wall of ice came crashing down on them, in the form of a channeled HYDRO PUMP.[break][break]

In quick succession, her Arctovish began to gather it's breath before a powerful freezing gale was released towards the drenched party, in the form of the move FREEZE-DRY. The goal? To freeze a target or two. All these attacks barraged the group back, to back, to back, but Victoria was still nowhere to be seen.

Victoria hadn't expected the the ice to shatter the way it did. But it did work in her advantage. It also proved to be a two edged sword. Her Arctovish and Cloyster worked well together, like a well oiled machine. She assumed that Cillian Quinn had trained them them well. She'd have to go seeking him out for tips on how to better train her own roster of pokémon. [break][break]

Meanwhile, Victoria watched the show from her perch in a nearby tree. She was quite satisfied watching everything unfold from where she was, however as the wall of ice came crashing down, shards of ice scattered everywhere like shrapnel. Her perch was not exempt from the danger shards finding purchase on her own flesh. [break][break]

She didn't flinch however, just wiped the blood from her cheek. As she dropped down from the tree she landed on a branch which made a loud cracking sound. In a matter of seconds it would seem her little mouse had decided to go on the offensive. Taking advantage of her now known location, a STUN SPORE was aimed at her to lock her down. [break][break]

However, even with the SWIFT speed boost, her Arctovish was faster. With SLUSH RUSH, it's speed was boosted during a HAILSTORM, the main reason that was the move Tori opened up with. Her Arctovish rushed to her side, knocking her out of the way just in time to soak the STUN SPORE in her stead. [break][break]

The move was very effective due to the typing difference, but it wouldn't serve to bring fossil pokémon down just yet. With ICE BODY, her Arctovish would heal during the HAILSTORM and slowly regain it's health with time. Tori was confident that this was nothing more than a flesh wound for the fossil pokémon. [break][break]

"Oookay." she said as she brought herself to her feet. Since she was now free to move. Her eyes locked onto the little ranger before sharply inhaling and taking off, barreling towards her. Meanwhile, from the sea, her Phione, Neri now made an appearance. She'd been observing on standby this entire time, while her partner Lucario worked to free the Rocket boat from the ice it was currently trapped by. [break][break]

Since Neri had been watching the entire time, she picked up on the wavelengths of the other pokémon more easily now. So with a nod towards the Cloyster, Neri began to cook up a move of her own, waiting for it's trainer to give it an opening. Meanwhile, Victoria had decided to rush the young Ranger in close combat of her own. [break][break]

She wouldn't allow her to rest while trying to lock her down the way she did. She was overestimating Tori's benevolence. "If you're going to fight, put your back into it." Tori snarled at her. Victoria was quite skilled in close combat, having been trained by her father, Cillian Quinn, and other Kanto natives briefly. She honed her skills the moment she began to sell her services as a mercenary for hire. [break][break]

Her blows were heavy and aimed with precision towards Genevieve Cromwell's weak spots. Tori wasn't going to kill her but she was going to make her lose her breath. "Like so!" she said as she landed a solid jab in the woman's abdomen when she'd left herself wide open. The ranger woman's Sylveon attempted to rush towards them to protect it's trainer but little did it know that leaving it's back open like that would prove it's last mistake. [break][break]

Away from view, Tori's Cloyster had been preparing a wide array of ICICLE SPEARS. Neri, Tori's Phione coated the ice shards with her own ACID ARMOR to ensure this battle would would get wrapped up swiftly. Due to the Cloyster's ability, SKILL LINK the rain of ICICLE SPEARS on the unsuspecting Sylveon and Frosmoth was torrential. The notable shriek's on impact let Victoria know that the combined move proved effective.

Unsympathetic eyes narrowed as she watched the young ranger before her crumble. This was war, death was inevitable and most importantly, if you were weak you lost the things that you cared about. After all, how could a weak person ever hope to protect such precious things. This was a hard lesson that Victoria had been taught long ago in Kanto.[break][break]

It was a dog-eat-dog world out here. No one would look after you better than you could yourself. If there was something you wanted to accomplish, a dream you wished to attain, someone you loved and wished to hold on to, you required the strength to be able to back it up. Otherwise this world would chew you up and spit you out in the most painful way possible. [break][break]

A furious howl pierced through the sorrowful silence. A cry of vengeance from the now freed Arcanine she imagined. But it was no matter. This time Victoria stepped over the ranger's crumpled and dying Sylveon and grabbed a fistful of her hair and yanked her head back. The cool metal of a knife grazed the ranger's throat as Tori's empty gaze locked onto the ranger's Arcanine. [break][break]

"Recall it." she ordered as more ICICLE SPEARS hovered in the air, poised to strike the hound. "Or, just like the rest of your pokémon, I'll give you a front row seat to their funeral." It might seem brutal and heartless but even this act was considered 'kindhearted' from Victoria. After all, she should just slit the throat of this foolish girl and get on with it.[break][break]

"Recall it!" Tori demanded as she yanked the girl's head back further and the metal blade of her knife dug a bit deeper into her flesh, enough to tear the skin and cause bleeding.

The young firecracker that had once burned brilliantly with confidence was now crushed in defeat before her. Nothing was a threat to Victoria now. Perhaps nothing ever really was. But as cold eyes stared down at the crumpled mess that was her enemy she felt no joy in her victory. Instead....she oddly felt annoyed. [break][break]

She had been expecting more. More of a challenge, more of a fight put up. But instead she simply complied with Tori's demands. Understandably so, the ranger wouldn't not made it out of this situation unscathed. But she would've enjoyed playing with her food a bit longer. "Tch." she said as she sucked her teeth and lowered the blade from the girl's neck.[break][break]

"Get out of might sight." She growled as she moved to put her tools away. "And inform your higher ups that you failed...." she said with a pause before shaking her head. "I'll give you 30 seconds." Was it pity she felt for the woman? Victoria wasn't so sure, either way, this was an act of kindness. [break][break]

Victoria could've easily slit her throat and been done with it all but she decided not to. Instead she focused her attention on the boat that had just managed to free itself now that the target who froze it was dealt with. Rocket's vessel steadily charged forward, unwavering in it's march, just like Victoria's determination to get the job done, whatever the cost.
