well that was unexpected. he wish he could say this was a first, but her boldness was a cut above the norm. it reminded him of bailey. it was interesting, "so this is what the new gym leaders are like, i hope the others are just as fun." turning to the pilot, he'd say, "take me to the center of---"

a sudden dragon pulse would come to hit the tail of the helicopter. "what the---" holding onto something, the pilot would come to be rendered unconscious due to hitting his head. seeing the pilot, arian would take the initiative to call upon his gallade, "cut him loose, we're diving now!" arian would be the first to jump off, gallade, with the pilot in arm, followed after.

as they swan dived, gallade would come to grab hold of his trainer. with the pilot and arian in his grasp, the pokemon would utilize a protective barrier to secure their landing. the impact would slowly be reduced little by little due to the many branches breaking the barrier's fall. eventually they'd come to land. "nice job, but where the hell did that dragon pulse come from..."

turning to Katherine Fairburne and her reuniclus, he'd wave toward the woman with a smile. "we have a small problem, but it's nothing to worry about though!" a chuckle followed, "i think the megalopolan is somewhere nearby, there's no way the tyranitar saw us from that angle. it's probably being given orders against its will..." which led him to ask, "you got the injection to cure it?" because he lost his in the fall.

accepting the syringe, arian stared momentarily toward the fallen pilot. "he's only unconscious," back then his old self would have allowed him to die. death was natural, after all. it was illogical to save someone whose fate was sealed. as arian stood, he'd turn his back on the pilot.

"well, i thought it'd be bothersome if he died, haha!" a light chuckle was let out, "i don't exactly get why i did it though..." for someone who was without moral, it would seem as though he's slowly developing it. anyway, it would seem as though their enemy was located. "gallade may not be able to, but his partner can." returning the psychic-type, he'd call upon gardevoir.

"let's go," he'd leave the pilot where he laid. as they moved, arian and company would come to enter an open space. the field had little greenery, and there was fire roaming about in some small spots. it was the aftermath of the tyranitar's destruction.

the surface shook and a powerful roar was heard.

"it's here," and there was a sudden whistle. emerging from across their location was the megalopolan, and behind them? the tainted tyranitar. "target found, ready to play bait?" he asked katherine. arian would come to place his hand around the hip of his gardevoire, "the second they make a move, we retaliate."

"guess that's the signal," arian said. a soft movement at the waist had been enough to alert gardevoir to act. the pokemon would then teleport the pair out of sight and behind the tyranitar. "here goes nothing, be ready to pull me back!" while the tyranitar and their tamer were distracted, arian moved.

before moving, arian would come to remember the outer body of a tyranitar's shell. they were hard as a rock, it wouldn't be so easy. "we have to get this antidote in its mouth, infernape!" the only pokemon that had the ability to move with enough agile had been none other than the fire monkey itself. infernape would come to be given the antidote, the megalopolan would notice the pair behind. sadly, it was too late.

like a spider monkey, infernape would pry the tyranitar's roaring mouth open, keeping it from closing. with enough effort he'd bring the antidote over the tyranitar's mouth, allowing for the liquid to drip on its and into its mouth. slowly, but surely, the rage began to quell. the now weakened, and thankfully healed, tyranitar would come to grow drowsy. falling on its stomach.

"nice job, everyone!" the megalopolan would attempt to escape, leaving the tyranitar behind. "oh no, he's getting away..." arian nonchalantly said.
