With the recent increase of poison type pokemon appearing out of thin air around hoenn, they have been taking over certain cities where people live or visit. They not only have been causing problems for the people that live there, but also remitting poisonious gases that have been getting both humans and pokemon alike sick. Now that Maverick was a League Sergeant, they have called upon him and one other person to try and take care of the issue before it gets too out of control. And of course, they provided equipment like gas mask for both them and their pokemon.

After spotting to pick up a few pokemon and a gas mask for himself at the nearest pokemon center, Maverick trawled from one side of Hoenn to Rustbro City. The scarred trainer waited at the very edge of the city. Warm glazed flickered over the thick purple green hue of gas the lingered over the city. A knot in his stomach told him this might be difficult. His gaze flickered to his smart watch on his wrist. In big bold light up letters it indicated a time. The man let out a sigh, shifting his weight as he crossed his arms over his chest. He wasn’t sure who his partner was today for this mission but hope they would show up soon. It felt weird not having Azula by his side, empty almost. But, Maverick knew this was going to be a mission were she could not attend.

Why did this mission feel like a certain famous first person shooter? "Stop the terrorists from detonating the bomb." Yep. This was basically a video game. Instead of dealing with a bomb, though, the goal was to stop the potent chemically toxic smog that may or may not be covering more heinous activities. Normally, Gigi would run in guns a blazin' but this was (unfortunately) the real world. She couldn't respawn in real life.. although it'd be pretty wicked cool if she could. 
[break][break]
According to the guidelines, another player (er.. person) would be on her team so this wasn't a solo run. That was probably for the best. She had a strategic mind but lacked real life experience regarding Pokemon battles and other such matters. Her eyes glanced down at the gas mask in her hands. Yes, this was very different in regards to online play.. Most video game characters never even bothered to wear gas masks! Instead, game developers paid more mind to their female characters clothes. Or should she say lack thereof? 
[break][break]
By the time Gigi arrived at the designated location, her teammate was already there. As she approached the man she chuckled, "Sorry I'm late! CAPTCHA here," The tell-tale shape of a Rotom was visible as she waved her phone in the air, "thought it would be funny to hijack my GPS system in order to change my location on the map as well as offer incorrect directions." Her gaze caught sight of the man's scars (which gave her total anti-hero vibes) but her toothy grin never wavered. 
[break][break]
They weren't exaggerating when they said the entire place was consumed by toxic fumes. Despite being an adequate distance from the smog, her eyes burned. With a flick of the wrist, Gigi released Scrub the Trubbish. His terrible stench caused her burning eyes to water. Damn it. She should have put on the gas mask before releasing him. Not that she was particularly thrilled at the idea of shoving her face into the heavy protective gear.
[break][break]However, if they played their cards right, the gas masks would only be needed as a last resort because even with them other areas of their bodies were still exposed to the poisonous fumes. The Trubbish had been given to her as a troll gift from a hater trying to imply she was trash. Ha! The person would be rolling if they knew how cute she thought the little trash bag was - and about how useful he was about to be! 
[break][break]
"So, what should our game plan be?" she curiously asked the male. "I think it'd be safer if we sent in Pokemon to deal with the Weezings before we tackle the smog." If they dealt with the smog first then the Weezings would simply spew more of their terrible gas. Ew. She much preferred to dispatch of them quickly but was willing to listen to the man's suggestions.

Despite not being in the mess, the toxic smells lingered in the air. When his partner for the mission finally arrived, the man stared at the women with a blank expression. Something about a CAPTCHA and GPS and incorrect something got him lost for a moment. What was she taking about? But before he knew it, the woman released her trubbish and added to the stench that already lingered into the air. He grimaced but accepted it.

When a plan was mentioned, Maverick had to admit it seemed like a good idea. “Yeah,” the man agreed, reaching into his pockets to pulled out a few pokemon, “That sounds like a good idea.” Tossing a few poke balls into the air, three pokemon materialized before them. The first was a skuntank, the creature’s own stench made him flinch. Next was salazzle, the lizard pokemon. And last, bisharp. “Poison can’t poison poison types, right?” He told her, warm gaze flickered to his small team, “I can send in Kuvira, Jovana, and Katana to find them. Maybe draw them closer to us.” His gaze shifted to the woman, offering a small smile. “What do you have to battle them with in case they want to fight back?”

For a second, Maverick looked just as lost, if not more, as Gigi did a minute ago. Even if the woman noticed, no comment was directed towards the confusion. Honestly, if Gigi did notice, she would have assumed his mind got lost in its own labyrinth rather than the one she created. After all, who didn't know such basic terminology? 
[break][break]
"Hmm." Gigi hummed to herself before shrugging, "Nope." Upon seeing his team released though, specifically the Salazzle, she remedied her statement, "At least, that's normally the case. Unless they have the corrosion ability like your Salazzle there." Thank Arceus she took time to study up on Pokemon 101 before arriving in Hoenn. She forgot how much she loved reading until she practically devoured all the books.. and by books, she meant online articles and ebooks. 
[break][break]
The prospect of drawing the Weezings closer to their current location didn't appeal to Gigi. Fog and who-knows-what already coated the outside of her glasses. It'd be ten times worse if the poison types were corralled closer to them, especially if she was forced to wear a gas mask. Glasses and masks did not get along. "I mean," she pushed up her cloudy lenses, "I don't think we personally need to get involved unless its absolutely necessary. Our Pokemon should be able to dispatch them without needed to bring them closer to us. They're better equipped for the conditions."
[break][break]
His question was answered with a simple flick of the wrist: two beings manifested from corresponding beams of light. One bright flash materialized into a Venusaur while the other called upon the digital Pokemon, Porygon. Venusaur nodded a respectful greeting towards the other trainer and his team as Porygon shifted to its trainer's side. Gigi decided against releasing her newly acquired Venipede, unsure whether the bug would be capable (or willing) to keep up. 
[break][break]"Terrabyte," Gigi directed the diseased shiny Venusaur, "Attack Ethernet with toxic." As expected, her order was protested against. The woman sighed, eyes rolling, as Terrabyte made her concerns known, "Miss the attack. Launch it close enough so that Ethernet can change into a poison type." Ethernet, as obedient and loyal as ever, floated in front of Terrabite as it readied itself to adapt to its new environment.
[break][break]
Terrabyte grumbled but finally obliged. Toxic goop landed in front of the Porygon. She watched in horror as the toxic splashed onto her fellow teammate. Concern burned in the motherly dual types eyes as she stepped to approach Ethernet who looked as if they were glitching, shades of hue washing away its normal coloring. A loud sigh of relief puffed out of Terrabyte's mouth when the Porygon was finished rearranging its coding via conversion two
[break][break]
With Ethernet now a poison type, Gigi addressed her team of three, "Clear out the Pokemon hiding in the smog. We'll deal with any residue leftover after that." A toothy grin flashed across her face, "Now, everyone, grab a buddy!" Gigi always hated when teachers or adults would rattle on about "buddy systems" yet here she was, albeit not willing to acknowledge the fact that it was actually a good system.
[break][break]A comical scene due to his stubby little legs, Scrub ran over to the Skuntank that smelled just like him. Which, in his mind, was a lovely scent but what did he know? He was a literal bag of trash. Excitedly, Scrub exclaimed, "Mine!" Although Gigi was incapable of understand the Trubbish, she internally aww'd at the poison types cute little lisp. She would never get over Scrub, who epitomized the word "adorable". 
[break][break]Meanwhile, Terrabyte and Ethernet paired together - unless one of Maverick's Pokemon decided to break the duo. Once everyone was grouped up, Gigi struck a pose, "Game on!"

The scarred man listen to the woman’s protest about them venturing with the pokemon into the area to find them. But in a way, she had a point. Why put themselves in danger when they can handle themselves? They had thicker skin and was build more for this than us fragile humans. The man gave a casually shrugged before nodding in agreement. As long as it gets the job done, guess it doesn’t really matter. Right? Warm colored orbs flickered over her choice of creature as the were summoned, eye balling them as though he was trying to understand her through her choice of pokemon. But after a minute, the trainer pushed it out of his mind and turned to his own creatures while she readied hers.

His gaze flickered from his bishop to his stunktank to his salazzle. “Are you three ready?” The man asked him, trying to hide his slight concern that they were going out by themselves, “Take care of the weezing and report back. No fighting please.” Luckily, none of his creature should get poisoned during this lone mission. Katana was a steel and dark type that could not get poisoned unless the opponent had Kuriva’s ability of corrosion. Both Kuriva and Jovana were duel poison types, again only effect by poison if the ability of corrosion is in place. And really, what could possible go wrong? They were all fully evolved and mature pokemon on right?

It wasn’t until he heard Gigi’s buddy up when Maverick faced them again. His gaze flickered as the little trash pokemon wanted to buddy up with Stunktank. Jovana didn’t even acknowledge the trubbish, only letting out a muffled growl. The man sighed, knowing how aggressive the stunktank was. He pointed at finger at her. She grunted. With Javova partnered with the trubbish and the other two partnered with each other, that left the bishop with the salazzle. With everyone partnered up, Maverick nodded to his team. “Alright,” the man readied himself as he motioned with a nod, “Go. Be careful.”

With that, the silence tongue of the bishop and the salazzle moved into the thick part of the haze before disappearing from Maverick sight. The stunktank shifted her weight, moving to find some things to attack without her trainer holding her back. Jovana not even noticing the trubbish if it followed. Once all his creature’s were out of sight, a wave of anxiety washed over him though he held his blank and emotionless expression. His arms crossed over his chest as he let his gaze turn to Gigi. “How long do you want to get it takes them? Who do you think will come back first?”

While Maverick began his attempt to small talk with Gigi, Katana and Kuriva started their hunt. Kuriva nodded to the bisharp as she used SWEET SCENT in hopes to attract some pokemon to them to make this a little easier. Jovana wondered deeper into the haze, waiting for one to just pop up.
