His digits anxiously tapped against the metal extension to no particular beat. At any moment he would be forced to act, and being in the middle of so many unknown people was an itch he couldn't shake. Chances were that one of them would try to attack him should he try something—but it could have easily been the nerves in his body. His spare hand was deep in his pocket, lining the spheres inside as a fruitless way to tamper his worries. One click and he could have the cab in chaos, but was that the best play right now?
[break][break]
A vibration against his hip led Tae to snap his head down in the direction, forgetting his phone even existed. He brought it up to his ear while his eyes continued to dance between bodies under the shadow of an angry brow. "Yeah?" he answered a little to aggressively, only to miss the soft words whispered inside. Fourth? He paused one moment, his mind struggling to keep up with the cryptic messages and his hearing unable to full discern such a soft vice. "Yo, you're gonna' have to speak up, I can't hear shit," Tae fired away, his annoyance levels rising—it didn't help that there was so much chatter around him. Still, the girl in the phone continued to speak; the male regretted not checking who the caller was prior as it would have been him much more context to this all. With one last sigh, the breath a rough and sandy static into the phone, "Tell who? Talk lou—" The call ended. "Bitch," he spat, navigating to the call history. Minseo. Immediately he felt a pool of guilty in the pit of his stomach, the feeling only being exasperated by the wary and prying eyes of patrons. "Shit, I didn't mean it, sorry..." he apologized in a meditative fashion fearing that she could almost feel how he wronged her.
[break][break]
"Oh, fuck! The fourth train!" his eyes widened as the epiphany seemed to clear away the clouds over his eyes. Then he was stuck with the decision of staying his current post or helping her. The debate was short as the urge to make sure she was alright surpassed the the logic of spreading their forces equally. Tae turned to step off, but not even a second pace away from the pole before the train shuttered by the force of some explosion near by.
[break][break]
If the crowd wasn't panicked before, now they were and suddenly bodies were pushing over to one side to intrusively watch the commotion with the nearby trains. With the exit blocked, he nervously ran his hands through his disheveled locks, trying to think of what else to do. He couldn't even pass the message along that the doctor was located...
[break][break]


[break][break]
NOTE: Tae speaks way too loudly into the phone, hopefully not compromising @min . Tries to leave the third train but the attacks by other rocket members caused small panic, and the exits were blocked with bodies. Is now waiting.

[attr="class","cmonbody"]Dallas gave a nod and thanks to the League members quick thinking. All that was needed now was the rocks to be removed and train 2 could be on its way like nothing ever happened. It was never that easy though, was it.

Another person stepped up onto the scene. Dallas would have thought nothing of her until she released three Pokémon at once. And one by one the lined up to attack the trains.

“Bom, move the rocks then stop the flaming dog.” With a bit more energy now as the situation began to ramp up in pressure, the Slowpoke did as commanded. Moving the debris in front of train 2 with Psychic. Then following up with a Water Pulse on the Arcanine. A blue ball of water that would crash onto it like a wave to intercept and stop the attack.

“Sorry Hawks, time to tag you out.” Before she could protest the Fletchinder was summoned back into her Pokeball and in her place, Yungoos and Snivy came out. Dallas still felt bad he hadn’t given them cool nicknames yet. Maybe this could be the day.

“Yungoos, gonna need you to ask the two-headed thing to chill out.” With teeth bared the Yungoos charged at the Zweilous. Another interception. But this time with an Ice Fang into its side to knock the charging dragon of course. The Strong Jaw of his Yungoos only made the fangs hurt more as they dug into the Zweilous.

“And Snivy,” the snake-like Pokemon give his owner the side eye. “Don’t give me the attitude! Give it to the blue mouse thing!” Snivy rolled its eyes as if the task given was monumental. Two green vines would fire out from its tail towards the Azumarill.

Instead of simply attacking though, they would enwrap around the Azumarill to redirect its attack up into the sky and away from the train.

Dallas turned to face the woman, @jordyncross, that had commanded the attack. “Can you not? I really don’t want to be hurting your Pokémon. Genuinely, hand on heart. But you’re forcing my hand here. Can you just take you and your teams’ awful outfit back to Kanto?”



[attr="class","cmontag"]
@traingoons – 000 – Slowpoke used Psychic to move the debris at train 2. Slowpoke used Water Pulse on Arcanine to stop it from hitting the train. Yungoos used Ice Fang on Zweilous to knock its attack off course. Snivy used Vine Whip on Azumarill to redirect its attack up into the air Team Rocket blasting off again style. Dallas threw shade at the trashy Rocket uniform

Dallas had tried to halt Apollo's attack, but the sheer speed behind the great beast had gave him the upper hand against the much slower pokemon. The water pulse came too late as Apollo struck full force into the train, a wave of water followed soon afterward and soaked the fire hound and the flames that burst from the train after his attack. Apollo growled, turning his gaze onto the Slowpoke that tried to stop their assault. The look of death laced his hues as his INTIMIDATE ability activated. Thunder cracked in the air as he parted his jaws, revealing lightening flickering off his fangs. He charged, once again quick speeds made him almost a blur to the human eye as he jumped at the water-type snapping his fangs against whatever part of Slowpoke he could grab to send a course of electricity surging through his body.

Body shrouded in the energy of his dragon rush, it was a wonder how Yungoos pierced through to clamp his icy fangs onto Bahamut's side. One head shrieked in pain, veering slightly off course but the tiny body of the rodent pokemon hadn’t been enough to knock him fully off his path. He slammed against the train, wrecking it his dragon rush with Yungoos still stubbornly clinging to his side. One of his heads, now infuriated at the mere thought of this weasel trying to make him prey. Oh he would give him quite the lesson. One of his heads twisted to the Yungoos, opening widely as his fangs encased themselves in a dark aura. He slammed his jaws onto the side of Yungoos, delivering a nasty CRUNCH that threatened to rip his skin. He tugged hard, viciously ripping Yungoos off of him and ignoring the flesh that was torn off in the process. The second head attempted to reach for the other half of Yungoos, the two heads had every intention on ripping him in two….

Aurora had at first not even realized the vines of the Snivy as they wrapped around her. With too much momentum to stop, she was propelled up directly into the air. Aurora was shocked, closing her eyes as she reached heights she was far too uncomfortable with.

Jordyn turned to look at Dallas, her pink-tinted shades masking the delight twinkling in her eyes. Was this the best the league had to offer? Well, at least he was cute, but far too softhearted as he tried to warn her. She laughed, amused by his little play on their outfits. “You know you should really join the dark side. We smoke big blunts.” She laughed at her own joke, looking up in the air where Aurora had been tossed. “What goes up, must come down.”She pointed up in the air, her wide grin covered.

At that moment, Aurora come hurtling back down, her body still enhanced with SUPERPOWER which now had more force due to the momentum of gravity pulling her back down to earth. She landed on top of the second train, crushing and bending the metal underneath her as she landed on her feet. Fierce hues locked onto the Snivy. “Aurora, I think Snivy wants to play with you.” Jordyn scoffed, sure Aurora would get the hint. Aurora charged at Snivy, her body cloaked in a thick white smoke as she reached for Snivy, prepared to give it the playmate it’d ask for. “Sorry to tell you buddy-boy, Team Rocket is here to stay.” She turned her attention back on Dallas, a taser and pocket-knife stashed in her bra in case he tried anything funny.

OCC
- Apollo's attack too fast to stop it from hitting the train. Train erupted in flames but was quickly put out by Slowpoke's water pulse. Apollo hit by water pulse. Apollo intimidate activated. Apollo uses Thunder Fang on Slowpoke.
- Bahamut hit by Yungoos ice fang. Bahamut still able to struck train. Bahamut hustle activated. Bahamut uses Crunch and ripped Yungoos off of him viciously. One head is latched on while the other is trying to snap ahold to rip Yungoos apart.
- Aurora Huge Power is active. Aurora grabbed by vine whip and tossed into the air. Aurora comes back down with even more force than before and comes down slamming atop of train 2, probably denting or outright collapsing in the area she crashed upon. Aurora is hurt by recoil. Aurora tries uses Play Rough on Snivy.
- Jordyn is watching closely and is prepared to strike him encase he tries to arrest her.

In the chaos, someone had picked up. Eagerly Victor's eyes widened. "Hello? Is it me you're looking for?" He clasped his Jigglypuff closer to himself as he heard sounds of booms and explosions over the phone line. Yikes! Things were getting bad. Anxiously he peered into the speaker end of the phone, just in time for a young girl to whiz by him, shoving her way through the anxious citizens. It was the hero of the day!

Victor quickly dropped the phone to run after her, but had a second though and kept it on him as he turned around. "Fam, I'm on the first train and this girl is about to get gimped!" Deciding he wasn't going to allow the slaughter of a cute, but innocent League member Victor stepped in front, pushing himself between the girl and the Rocket villain. "Step back! I got this! Or like you can help. I don't know." He and his Jigglypuff readied themselves for battle, Victor still clutching his precious phone with amazingly long cord. He wasn't sure if train number two was still on the line, but it helped him just to squeeze something to calm his nerves.

This was how it worked right. The enemy throws out a Pokemon. They slap each other a bit. Beautiful girl falls in his arms. He makes a new friend via the phone. All in a good day's work.

RUN FOR COVER. RUN WHILE YOU CAN, BABY. DON'T LOOK BACK. YOU GOTTA RUN FOR COVER. DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE FEAR, THAT'S A PLAYED OUT TRACK, MAN. YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE. AND DON'T LOOK BACK, JUST RUN FOR COVER.


[attr="class","frlastcontmid"]

The train continued to fill. More passengers boarded–pushing and shoving to make room–as they suffocated the little space that remained. [break][break]

“Can they get this damn thing moving?” Bailey latched her hand to Professor Crieghton's upper arm, refusing to let the crowd consume him; it was her job to protect him. She would do her damndest to live up to that expectation. A noise was coming from outside the train car, telling the occupants that Rocket had arrived; trouble would be coming their way if the train remained docked. [break][break]

“Yeah. From the Ruin Mission,” She murmured to him, flinching as someone elbowed her chest by accident; it made a strange sound: wet like a sponge. The stranger quickly backed away and she cupped a hand to that location, pushing against whatever dwelt inside her zipped up leather jacket. [break][break]

She would have been an idiot to come down here without any pokemon. Some dwelt in their capsules. One did not. [break][break]

Paranoia kept her moving, kept her pulling on the man until they reached the front of the car; she was not naive. The wailing passengers were no better than mareep in a field... and houndooms could lurk among them. Bailey Cooper was not smart in the traditional sense. She did not excel in a classroom. “My pokemon punched Regirock in the face,” but she excelled in situations like this. [break][break]

The Officer hoped that her comment would relieve his concerns. She could tell that he was nervous. “We'll be fine,” and she turned herself around, ready to glance back at the other passengers– [break][break]

And that was when @logan lunged. Her body twisted to meet him as the tazer jutted forward, striking her right in the center of her chest. At first, it might have seemed like he succeeded. The electric instrument buzzed to life as it dealt its high-voltage attack through the thick, leather padding of her jacket; There was a wet squish.[break][break]

She knew that Rocket played dirty. She had tried to prepare herself for it.[break][break]

And that was why, before either of them could react, Bailey felt a thunderous force blast her to the front of the subway. Her body smacked against the door, against the intersection between passenger cars, as the air was driven from her lungs. [break][break]

For Logan, it would have been far worse. Something white had suddenly detonated from the jacket, bursting it apart; it looked like a fist. It would have struck into the man without hesitation, returning the damage that he had dealt; counter.[break][break]

A strike from a pokemon would have easily thrown him back into the crowd, making him knock over the other passengers and create a wake as people made room.[break][break]

And Bailey cupped a hand to the Pyukumuku that had latched to her chest. “Hey, Pinpin.” She wheezed, trying to recover from having the air knocked out of her. “I owe you... one.” The sea cucumber trembled from the pain that the tazer caused, but she knew that her pokemon would recover.[break][break]

“Professor. Go.” She shoved him as she pried open the door, leading out of the passenger car. Rocket had found them. They had to move before the others could swarm them.[break][break]

In this strange junction between cars, Bailey slammed the door behind her... and shoved the massive pile of luggage to try and barricade it. Suitcases, dufflebags, and other assorted goods slacked from their neatly stacked piles to form a heap by the door... while Pinpin used Safeguard. “Run!”[break][break]

She grabbed him and booked it, trying to get further into the crowds, further into the train.[break][break]

tldr: bailey kept dragging the professor to the front of the current train car all you bitches are in (@min @logan). logan's attempt to taze bailey failed and told her "hey fuck they're here," and he tazed her pyukumuku instead. the poor cucumber retaliated with counter. bailey shoves herself and the professor out of their current passenger car. bailey throws a bunch of luggage at the door (in those weird middle areas between train cars where they have the bathrooms and other stupid shit) to barricade it. pyukumuku then uses safeguard. they run into the next passenger car and into the other crowd of people (toward the front of the train).[break][break]

And so it begun.

When the boy appears he remains perfectly still allowing the water to smother the flames, the damage is done anything else is irrelevant. When the boy speaks the soldier remains silent his gaze meeting and her own tools. "The second she moves on us. Flamethrower." It's more of a growl then words, but the Infernape understands regardless. When the message from @logan comes his eyes sharpen a hand moving to his own ear. all the while finds his focus needed elsewhere even better it gives the man time to relay the message to all units. Mouth covered by his hand the man speaks into his mic. "ALL UNITS. THE TARGET IS IN TRAIN 4 DO ALL UNITS COPY." And with that all rockets would know the target's location.

"Rock Slide again, fourth terminal." Archeops is off once again releases a number of massive stones fall from the sky atop the magnetic rail of track four, the goal? to stop the trains movement or delay it as long as possible.

For the man who so bravely chose to turn his back to the soldier in favor of dealing with the new threat, would just as quickly find a surprise waiting or him. "Bullet Punch." The soldier whispers to a ball as it flies toward him revealing a scizor it's pincers glowing blue. A volley of iron pincers as fast as bullets themselves would rain down on the distracted man. How exactly he planned to combat a move so fast Dante doesn't know, but he doesn't have time to pull punches. Whether the man died or was simply incapacitated was of no concern as long as he was no longer in the way.

this wasn't a pokemon battle it was a war.
-------------

- orders Infernape to watch if she attempts to move on Dante or his party the pokemon will flamethower one of the threats.

- translates message "target is on train 4" clearly to all rockets via rocket communicator (@jordyncross , @winter2 , @min , , and all other incoming rockets.)

-Archeops initiates a rockslide on the maglev of track 4 hoping to block the train path with massive rocks.

- A focused on combat with @jordyncross will find a scizor immediately above him pelting him with priority bullet punches

I am the misery you crave

Ami was met with resistance as she forced her way forward, bodies instinctively protesting to this girl trying to make her way through. She knew Daisy would try to help her clear the path, but there was no feasible way the small Pokemon could do that without causing more burden. The only other Pokemon that could fit in this train would be her Meowstic, who was still in its pokeball at the moment.

She was able to open the door to the conductor's car with ease; the latch swung open suspiciously easily. Inside was a Rocket grunt, swinging around at her arrival. 

Although she didn't make her way down here with the initial thought of confronting anyone, along the way, she quickly realized it was naive of her. Of course she would run into someone. 

Daisy lept from Ami's head in front of her in a protective stance. "Work up. Daisy, looks like you'll get to have fun today." Her heart was still pounding out of her chest. It felt like it would jump out of her mouth. But she was good and putting on a front.

As the words left her mouth, another boy came barging in, in front of both her and the Pancham. It was a really dangerous and impulsive thing to do, and it meant that she had an ally, but... all she could say was, "You're in my way."

 

@tag | words | Pancham is working up. She tells Victor to move.

honestly, i can't be assed to read the rest of this thread. all i know is that you're all in the train station and no one's fleeing. that makes it easy for marco to come in as the rear guard. his objective is different, not to secure the professor nor stop the trains. no, his objective is to make sure that the rockets have them cornered. the assumption that the rockets will come through is enough to settle marco into taking little part in the action. as he descends the steps into the train station, he leaves everyone with little escape. none will pass, all too caught up with boarding the trains rather than leaving the station.

it's unfortunate that no one else has what marco has: a gas mask.

koffing, stunky, and trubbish start to fill the station with POISON GAS. it seeps into the air and slowly makes it down, poisoning enemy and ally alike. he'll corner them like rats, forcing them to fight and bring the chaos to its climax. how fun.

ha.

as things around lillian speed up she does her best to focus in. stretching yourself thin on a battlefield is a grave mistake. send your pokemon too many places, try to accomplish too many goals, or let your mind wander to too many situations and you risk losing sight of the things right in front of you. so she gives the events around her attention enough to recognize they're happening. the boy who fights the fires, the new grunt that comes roaring onto the scene, and the attacks on the trains. but then she zeroes back in on her chosen task.

she smiles watching the masked stranger. he doesn't give her the same respect she gives him. sure his eyes rest on her but his focus? obviously not. he sends one pokemon to continue assaulting the trains and yet another to go assist a teammate (reveals that he has another pokemon and what it is). this leaves only his infernape to protect his person, and against three opponents.

needless to say, lillian doesn't feel intimidated by the display. machamp continues to move her towards the grunt without hesitation. she pulls another pokeball from her jacket and rolls it in her hand.

"dance, petunia."

when she gives the order to her butterfree it's with a quiet voice and an almost innocent smile. like before the pokemon picks up on her meaning quickly and gets to work. it glides through the air in a scripted pattern, wings twitching rhythmically.

a QUIVER DANCE to rouse its spirits before what comes next. of course that movement prompts the infernape to respond. it fires off what would be a fatal FLAMETHROWER if not for lillian's reaction.

the pokeball in her hand is activated and from within bursts her lapras. the approaching flames and a wave from lillian's hands lets it know what it has to do. a HYDRO PUMP soon meets the FLAMETHROWER head on. they clash for only the briefest of moments before the fire is overwhelmed. no longer a threat, it serves as nothing but a guiding track to the monkey that belched it up.

at her side butterfree makes the move infernape so rudely interrupted. beating its wings it creates a shimmering SILVER WIND that quickly rushes in the direction of their opponents.

the QUIVER DANCE makes sure it'll do more than sting, but in reality damage isn't the point. the attack is merely a carrier for the real danger -- the STUN SPORE and SLEEP POWDER that previously coated butterfree's wings.

the POISON GAS begins to descend but lillian is too deep into the station to notice it yet. her focus remains squarely on the fight ahead of her.

    It's the exact opposite. It's not that he doesn't respect her bound in that chair accompanied by her pokemon. No it's because he trusts Shen, this infernape that'd been in war before that was used to war, used to this position. Shen was and would always be Dante's last line of defense as he'd been all of his life. This was nothing new.

    And so...

    As scizor flies the soldier can can hear the torrent of flames released by his partner. The first notice. "It's time to go." He turns to see now a torrent of water approaching the two alongside that bug he needed to eliminate.

    Perhaps she thought it too difficult for the pokemon to escape the torrent so focused on crushing the flamethrower with the water type's power, but perhaps she was unfamiliar with Monkey pokemon, infernape in particular. It's strength wasn't purely his power, no Inferape's true skill lied in its maneuverability though the monkey's mouth was quite the potent weapon so are the rest of its limbs. It's two arms, two legs, and even it's tail were able to work independently of its mouth.

    "Position Change, Acrobatics." It's not perfect but before the water can douse the flames the muscled ape begins it's escape the tail latching around Dante before throwing the man and itself up to the rail above them swinging the two onto platform three before they're overtaken by the variety of moves the women's directed at them.


    Though the escape isn't perfect the hydro pump manages to connect with monkey grazing the fire type's arm and throwing the landing off course. For a second through his mask the two would catch half a whiff of the spores aimed at them thanks to her silver wind, but the two are thrown into the crowd and away from the clever tactic before it can take effect.

    If the woman wanted a fight there'd be one, but if she had any principles, if the league had any principles perhaps she'd think twice about letting loose an assortment of powders and poisons into a crowd full of innocent people.

    It's only a moment, before the two are up pushing through the crowd headed for train four.
    ------------

    -Infernape uses flamethrower as was intended when begins her assault.
    -Dante notices the flames and begins his escape ordering an acrobatics from infernape
    -Infernape grabs Dante with his tail before slinging them both up to the maglev and throwing them to platform 3 before they can be taken out by the attacks.
    - 's hydropump manages to graze ifernape's arm in the escape throwing the landing off causing the two to collapse into a crowd of people.
    - in the action Dante catches half a whiff of the spores, but his face mask and moving out of the directed location keeps him out of the way of poison tactics.

    chaos begets order.

    conflicts brings an invitation for them to mob, one that lucien sharply declines. apathy does not discount reason. he realizes that the anarchy of the train car proves a threat, a liability in discovering the scratch to the itch that still prickles the back of his neck. it makes things messy and they can't have that.

    "keep calm."

    nobility demands reverence and they will respect the league's best. aurum and argent make themselves known. herding civilians into the other car becomes trivial. none dare dispute the authority of the pride's leader. together, the lions stalk their prey. they're poised to pounce, loose, not rigid. one wrong motion is all it takes for them to lash out-- for now they prowl to WORK UP their appetite.

    lucien smiles. his train car clears out and he is now the divisor between his and the other.

    implicit biases guide his step. makes it impossible for him to tear away from his objective: @winter2. lucein sees all. the way his lips move, the eloquent expressions that paint a story onto his face. suspicion stems from prejudice. or maybe it's providence. lucien consents to either.

    behind the glasses, behind the warm smile is something else, an invitation.

    make the wrong move.




    » releases both pyroars; they clear the train car
    » they use work up.
    » stares at @winter2 behind the glass, inviting him to make a wrong move.

    the man turns tail and runs, and lillian can't blame him. if she ever let herself get into his position she figured she'd do the same. he dives into the crowd and for a moment she considers pursuit, but when she turns her eyes back to the battlefield she sees better options. the scizor, unreturned by its master nor following his lead. the STUN SPORE and SLEEP POWDER from butterfree's attack drift harmlessly through the space they once filled.

    it seems so vulnerable, split up and without its trainer's instruction. it makes for a much better target if she means to weaken his ability to do harm. she gets right to work dealing with it.

    "switch."

    one word, and suddenly her machamp leaves her side. it acts strangely -- lowering itself down to the ground. its lower pair of arms bend unnaturally and for a moment its torso seems to stretch. it's not until it begins to perform its U-TURN that it reveals its true nature. the ILLUSION that had previously disguised the zoroark fades as it flies through the air and bares its claws. it makes hurried swings at the steel bug, not the nastiest of attacks but that's not the point. as soon as it makes it strikes, whether they land or not, the pokemon vanishes back into its pokeball.

    almost instantly a new pokemon is released. magneton finds a place floating just above lillian. her wheelchair rattles momentarily, the pokemon's MAGNET PULL securing it in place.

    "fry the bug."

    she waves a hand casually towards the airborne scizor. magneton wastes no time. its pupils seem to change shape, growing larger and wider. LOCK ON burns the image of the scizor and a trajectory of attack into the pokemon's mind. only a moment later it fires its ZAP CANNON -- a great orb of crackling electricity. avoiding the move would prove incredibly difficult, as she intended.

    nonetheless she taps the back of her lapras, a quiet reminder of what it must do if the scizor manages to dodge the blast.

    as a final step she returns her butterfree and releases the real machamp, who takes up his rightful place pushing her wheelchair.

      The U-turn from the Zoroark alerts the steel type despite its lack of damage to the resisted pokemon, no it's what happens next that keeps the bug pokemon alert. With its victim in his clutches the bug notices the electric preparing to strike it's accuracy? deadly. There isn't much choice and so he'd use the body of his victim as a shield. Perhaps it wouldn't stave all the damage, but splitting it between the unfortunate boy and himself was the best possible scenario. It was unwise to underestimate the technician tactician and unfortunately young Dallas would be forced to pay for 's actions.

      -------------------

      - Scizor grabs Dallas and uses him as a human shield to defend against the 's Zap Cannon.

      the POISON GAS continues to permeate into every nook and corner of the train station. by now, marco feels confident that no one can escape without a lung full of toxins. "exits donezo. none these bitches getting out." he continues down the steps, finally entering the station itself. he continues to fill the area with additional POISON GAS, another attempt at herding everyone into the actual trains. it'll give rockets room to operate outside, displacing the tracks and breaking down the trains.

      it was difficult to keep the plan from jeopardizing. with taeyang blaring into the speaker at a tone that had her keeping the phone at distance— she hung up before it could have all been seen as dubious. by the time the device was burrowing itself into the depth of her pocket, strife in this crowded strip was enacted by a familiar presence. instinctively she placed both hands upon logan— hoping it may steady him after being throttled opposite from their target.

      “are you alright?” there was slight startle to her words. certainly the pair had been through way worse, but the concern was never unwelcome. at least in her world— those that had walked through hell with her, deserved the momentary display of kindness. “come on, we can’t let him get away.” with the rest that had been trapped with the pair, many were retreating the other direction. she pressed against the object of red.

      the massive salamence took shape before them. intimidating enough that the few onlookers that were still close—by lastly decided to leave. min observed the avalanche of objects crammed in—between the two narrow doors. she looked anywhere else before facing the ceiling of the train above. “kai, flamethrower!” gesturing to the place, heat whirled past its large jaws. it left the metal glaring in amber. zen headbutt!” with the layer vulnerable, it tore through and into the outside, leaving an opening. she bounded onto the dragon once it had brought itself close to them once more.

      “lets go,” she said, not leaving him a chance for response. they were already soaring past the tear and onto the roof of the convoy.
