there was so much noise going on that he couldn't really understand what was happening. but he did vaguely hear the sounds of battle and wondered if he was missing something as his eyes felt blurred. he knew that he was moving but he couldn't quite figure out how. he knew that there were arms around him but his brain couldn't really wrap around whose. "ciel?" he thought perhaps that somehow the other man was @ciel for some reason. "ciel you shouldn't be here it's dangerous." his words slurred a little bit as he groped for one of his pokeballs on the side. he needed to protect ciel after all. push pop was the pokemon he chose, the goodra roaring in a strange way as glitch released it. "...help them." the dragon was his best bet right now he supposed. most of his others were a little too metallic. it was the last thing glitch could do before well and truly passing out, the goodra left to decide on its own what to do and launching a powerful dragon pulse at the melmetal creation.

- glitch passes out fully
- push pop the goodra uses dragon pulse on melmetal

Wright watches and waits as the child does her thing smiling as she finally completes it. Took a little long in his opinion, but considering her age. “Perfect! You get it up!” the man would demand his magnemite and it would use MAGNET RISE on both itself and the vending machine. After it would look at it’s trainer seeming to question him as they know his plan thanks to Thinker’s Telepathy. “You’ll be fiiiine,” the scientist reassures but his tone clearly doesn’t mean it as he’d shove the magnemite forward with his foot. [break][break]

The steel pokemon decides just to do it, remembering there is a timer as it goes forward with the vending machine. It’ll just try to move away at the end is all. Spoiler, it didn’t escape at the end as the Melmetal ends up attacking and while it’s body does take the vending machine and begins to absorb and eat it into its body. The Magnemite along with it. Their steel dissolving away, a worthy sacrifice in Wright’s opinion. [break][break]

With the vending machine securely inside Wright would snap at Thinker, “Oi help me let them know,” as once more the Elgyem would use the Telepathy to help relay a message to the other. =Things are about to go bang enjoy halt until the thing happens=[break][break]

It doesn’t take long a minute at most as the bomb rigs finally goes injuring the Mega pokemon, but it wasn’t the end. After the scientist would turn on the device at full as the plastic things begun to create a high pitched down making the metal of it’s body vibrate and become unstable. Might be uncomfortable on the hears to any close but who cares about that?

“Now!”

chaos time!




Thank Arceus that Eris can't hear 's thoughts, for Hell hath no fury like a gremlin scorned. Even as she pays attention to the Magnemite being sent on a one-way doom train, she can't exactly help but note the nonchalance in the man's voice as he shoves the pokemon forward. And realisation hits swift like a batter on steroids, her eyes widening in horror as her breaths hitches.
[break][break]
He'd killed the Magnemite. It had been unmistakably absorbed by the Melmetal and sacrificed... all for the sake of getting the giant to stop? There had to have been better ways to do that. With all the mega evolutions and giant pokemons being sent its way, there had to be other methods that could have been taken to achieve the same effect.
[break][break]
"Fizz, Reiner, Latte!" But she forces herself to choke out a command, her fingers grasping tighter onto her device as the Rotom within begins to buzz. At the signal, Reiner sets up an Electric Terrain and Latte lends a Helping Hand, allowing the Emolga to follow up with a rather strong Spark of energy. Her gaze burns with a newfound ferocity, a sudden wave of emotions numbing her to the stabbing pangs in her chest.
[break][break]
All that matters now is that the Melmetal doesn't get away with it.
[break][break]

Tl;dr - ELECTRIC TERRAIN is active and Latte (Cinccino) uses HELPING HAND, affecting all allies[break][break]
Fizz (Emolga) launches SPARK at Melmetal

More Mega Evolution equals more firepower. And while they were down a trainer due to Glitch's injury, they were hitting the Meltan hard. The "blonde babysitter" wanted to help, but he had his hands full at the moment. So he was just going to have to leave that to Thomas and Doug while he fought back the Melmetal. Things were incredibly chaotic as the battle raged on. Josh was trying to keep his attention between protecting the kids and defeating the Melmetal, but this was far more than overwhelming. The teacher of the kids was doing nothing at the moment to protect the kids and he had every intention of slugging them upside the head the first chance he had.

Thomas motioned for Josh to take the Mach Bike and he nodded his head, hopping on along with Lightning and peddling it just in time to avoid the Flash Cannon. One of the kids hid behind one of the vending machines and for a moment, that was a burden off Josh's mind. But then the machines began to shoot explosive cans at the Melmetal while the teacher helped. It would be effective but putting a child in harm's way was incredibly irresponsible, and Josh found himself growing more impatient with Wright by the moment.

But what Wright did next made his eyes widen. Not much phased or surprised Josh but that? That was disturbing enough to catch his attention. His mind was made up as se whispered a command to the Raichu and cocked his head towards Wright. But for now, they had to focus on finishing this off. Josh held out his left gauntlet now and pressed down as Lightning began to glow in turn. The Raichu's cheeks began to spark furiously as it charged up power. "GET DOWN!" Josh screamed to the others as the power reached its max.

"GIGAVOLT HAVOC!"

Lightning unleashed the large ball of electricity at the Melmetal, and once it did, Josh called it off as Fawkes unleashed Flamethrower on Melmetal's blind spot. Regardless of whether it did the job or not, Lightning had already hopped off and began taking position to use Thunder Wave on Wright from behind, angling it so that if it missed, it would look like the Raichu had been aiming for Melmetal.

- Josh uses the Mach Bike to avoid Flash Cannon
- Josh warns the others as Lightning uses Gigavolt Havoc
- Fawkes uses Flamethrower
- Lightning splits off on its own to angle Thunder Wave at Wright. It has been silently instructed to aim so that if it misses, it'll look like it was aiming for Melmetal.

As Thomas climbs up the hill with the Acro Bike, hopping from point to point on the rear wheel, he would notice, in the distance, a vending machine flying towards the Melmetal. Much to his shock, a Magnemite is carrying the machine. Unfortunately, this results in the poor Pokemon being caught by the Melmetal, and slowly consumed by the titan. Before Thomas can do anything about it, he's warned to take cover. Thomas does his best, hiding behind the mountain of scrap, plugging his hears, and laying low. Freke, meanwhile, Teleports to cover himself.

As the blast consumes the Melmetal, and the sound emitted from the device scrambles the body of the Melmetal, Primal Energy once again flares up. This time, the Alakazam's Mega Stone reacts, forcing a Mega Evolution. Meanwhile, Thomas makes his way up towards the top of the hill, before sending out Kalameet the Hydreigon. Getting on the dragon quickly, Thomas directs the Hydreigon to fly towards the Melmetal, who desperately attempts to reform itself.

"Flamethrower! Don't hold back!", Thomas called out.

The Hydreigon swoops in close, bellowing a jet of flame from its main head at the Melmetal. Meanwhile, the newly Mega Evolved Freke pops out of cover, and focuses on the head of the Melmetal. Channeling a Focus Blast, the attack flies towards the writhing and distracted colossus. This time, the attack strikes the creature in the head. With the combination of everything it had been subjected to, the Melmetal simply melts into a pile of metallic slime.

Thomas' Shinigami Eye allows him to see the moment the Melmetal loses its life, its 'health bar' completely depleted. And seeing his prize on the ground, Thomas swooped down. Freke would give Thomas an assist, lifting the Quartz with Telekinesis, and allowing his master to quickly grab the object, and place it in his bag.

"Son of a bitch.", Thomas muttered, mourning over the loss of the Melmetal. He wished he could've captured the beast alive, brought it back to the League for study. But alas, it wasn't to be. All he could do was either grab a sample of the fallen creature, or allow one of the others to grab it.

"Damnit."

The blonde gritted his teeth and turned his head in the aftermath, rubbing his eyes. They had pushed too hard. It was necessary, but if only they could have captured it alive. When they'd finished studying it, he would have happily given the beast a home on the Ranch and pacified it to live peacefully amongst the other Pokemon. But it wasn't meant to be. He loosed a low seethe and choked back a sob as he wiped his eyes again. Between the Magnemite and now Melmetal, this was getting too hard to bear.

But he needed to make sure the kids were safe. He couldn't imagine what they were going through, seeing the two Pokemon die like that. He looked to the two kids.

"Sit down, take deep breaths. Don't go anywhere. I'll be with you shortly" he spoke softly, but calmly to Hideo and Eris as he turned to see how Lightning had fared. He would be there to comfort the children in this hour, he promised himself. He couldn't imagine his own kids going through this alone, and he refused to let the two of them go through it alone either.

But as soon as he turned away from the kids, his expression changed, letting pure rage slip through. The teacher had better hope Lightning had paralyzed him, because otherwise he may very well kill him with his bare hands.

The battle was over. With a flick of his wrist his flip phone snapped close, and the Helicopters were on the way.

was going to be okay- Healing Wish was as powerful as pokemon healing got; between it and a quick trip to the emergency room via Heli-trip, the man would be fine. and Eris were fine as well. Thank Gods.

The same could not be said for the mission. The aftermath was a complete mess.

Destroyed property, loss of pokemon life, grievous (if treatable) injury to one of their numbers, civilian interference, civilian minor interference, gross incompetence from teachers, failure to comply with officers' orders...

The list just went on and on. Worst yet however-

A unique species of pokemon- several of them, exterminated.

Elite 4 . Gym Leader Glitch Maverick. ' mysterious teacher. These were the people who had direct contact with the Meltan.

Glitch could be ruled out; his predicament had only begun once everything had already gone to hell.

Thomas and the teacher however, were a different matter.

Normally, he would have just ignored the teacher as a particular brand of incompetent guardian, more concerned with sating his curiosity than looking after his charge.

But then he had proceeded to assist Eris, an 11 year old, to rig up explosives, had then recklessly fed these explosives to the Melmetal via suicide Magnemite...

Nevermind the fact he had actually used a explosive- he had put Eris up to it, which was illegal on so many levels Doug suspected he might need to consult a lawyer, and had known Eris could do it.

This wasn't something you learned in bloody school. For that matter, there were no schools that would authorize a single student field trip- much less allow a man this blatantly and unapologetically careless in charge of her.

Doug decided the blame was likely squarely on this man. He had fed the Meltan's something earlier. Whatever it was, he would get to the bottom of it, now.

If he could find the bastard!

He sent his still Mega Evolved Centiskorch to secure the remains before he decided to approach Eris, not able to locate the man by eyesight.

The hell was he?

"Eris!" His voice snapped, much more disciplinary than ever before. "Where's your teacher?"

chaos time!




Though Eris is thoroughly invested in the destruction of a monster, this doesn't make her oblivious to the happenings around her, especially if they're electrical phenomenon occurring in her vicinity. The crackle of electricity forces her to turn her gaze, a sharp whistle cutting through the mess as the command gets through. In seconds, a barrier is enacted between and his attacker, Protecting him from a horrible fate whilst a Reuniclus angrily chitters away as she moves to hold Eris' hand.
[break][break]
Whoever had taken that shot was either extremely bad at aiming or had held other plans for that attack.
[break][break]
"Get going... Now." She whispers, shoving her Rotom device into his hands before gently pushing him to move. Whatever it is that he still needed to do, he'd better do it fast as his time was running short. "I'll stay behind to distract them, Koios will help you explain and get you out of trouble."
[break][break]
As soon as he gets on his merry way and out of sight, Eris finds herself approached by , busying herself with the regathering of her pokemon as they return back to the safety and comfort of their pokeballs. Eventually, all that's left is Reiner and his disgruntled self, a tail protectively wrapping around her torso as he pulls her close. She seems a little short-winded and he knows it, several teeth showing as instincts tells him to sharpen his claws.
[break][break]
"I... I don't know." But he holds off from aggressing on Doug with a firm grip on his mane, unwilling to move away from his ward when Eris quivers at his tone. Her gaze is averted to the ground, her figure shrinking away from the imminent threat before them as the memory of rust fills the air. Deep breaths don't help her to suppress the sudden wave of anxiety that washes over her, her voice gradually growing quiet in the face of a somewhat angry person.
[break][break]
"I was more focused on keeping my eye on the Melmetal..."

If Reiner's growling made Cpt. Douglas at all reconsider, it must not have been for long, because he didn't even look at the dog.

His gaze gauged for a moment, before the memory of a frightened, crying girl in a forest flashed through his mind. After a moment, he breathed in deeply, grasping the bridge of his nose before slowly exhaling, and kneeling in front of Eris, trying to smile.

"Ya ain't in trouble, Eris... Even if Hideo is." He said, his gaze snapping sharply towards and his mouthy Rotom for a moment before turning back to the girl. "Yer teacher has been kinda absolutely horrible at his job and at generally bein' a human being though, so I gotta take 'im in for questioning. I dunno if he's guilty of all this... but I can definitely make sure they take his teaching license."

His Centiskorch, meanwhile, advanced towards the remains, rounding around the vast majority of it.

Thing is, in order to get to the bad professor guy and hand him the Rotom and tell him to run, Eris had to blow by the guy heading towards him. Which meant it didn't take a genius to figure out who had blocked the attack, and why. Josh called his Charizard back into its Pokeball and his Raichu to his side. The guy was gone, there was nothing he could do now. As he kneeled down to scratch behind the Raichu's ears, he muttered into his earpiece which had a connection to both Captain Douglas and Thomas.

"Little girl covered his getaway" he muttered in short into the earpiece, using the affection to the Raichu as a cover. The least he could do was warn Douglas. It was up to him how he wanted to handle this. Human affairs were his division. But that man had killed a Pokemon, and was likely responsible for killing another. THAT was his division.

He saw Thomas approach the remains of the poor creature while he approached Hideo.

"Are you alright?"

Hideo’s Aggron’s defense proved to be enough; though he still took some hits, Aaron was able to help ensure none of the trainers were struck by any wayward blasts. With everyone else on the offensive, it was only a matter of time until the Melmetal was worn down.

However, Elga had taken notice of the Magnemite carrying an entire vending machine through its magnetism. Though he wasn’t sure what the plan was, he definitely realized it once ’s Elgyem warned everyone. Though Hideo wouldn’t understand the message clearly - just getting a vague sense that he should wait a moment - Elga could guess what was going to happen. He made sure to push his trainer further into cover, and even Psychically pulled the Rotomdex down with them.

They’d all missed the Magnemite being swallowed up, but all could hear the explosion. Everyone else took the chance to get in one last attack, but Hideo had a different order for his Pokemon: “Get back here, Aaron,” he ordered, knowing his Aggron had taken quite a beating - courtesy of Elga’s information.

Besides, it sounded like the Melmetal had finally been defeated...though from the sounds of it, their efforts proved to be fatal. He understood that sometimes, there was only one way to stop a Pokemon from killing people, but he felt a pang of guilt that he somewhat contributed to its death. Unease that someone had been badly hurt before they could stop it.

And a small bit of disappointment that he couldn’t catch it.

Before he could think on it further, approached him, asking him if he was alright. “Yeah,” he replied, “Nothing hit me, and I don’t feel like anything’s hurting. But I dunno about my Aggron...

Said Aggron had made its way back to him - having reverted back to its non-mega state along the way. Hideo reached up to him, and could feel the cracks all over his body. There was even some blood dripping out of a few. “I gotta take him to a Pokemon Center,” Hideo said, returning Aaron back to his Pokeball. Nothing crippling, so he could tell, but he wanted his Aggron treated as soon as possible.

Of course, there may be a few delays.

Hideo could practically feel stare at him, and quivered slightly when Doug said he was in trouble. But it sounded like the more pressing issue was with and her teacher; Hideo didn’t know the full context, but he felt compelled to try and help cover for her.

Hideo approached Doug, guided by Elga. “Is, uh...is Glitch gonna be ok?” he asked, “Did he get hurt bad?” It was a genuine concern that he had, even if he didn’t even know until today; Elga didn’t tell him the extent of the injury, and Doug probably would’ve been angrier if he’d died, but still.

Also, maybe if he changed the subject, Doug might forget whatever punishment he had planned for Hideo.


Summary
- Elga pushes Hideo and pulls his Rotomdex into cover
-- The Rotomdex recording misses the Magnemite being eaten, as well as the explosion.
- Hideo is unharmed, but his Aggron is moderately injured, and is returned to his Pokeball
- Hideo tries to divert 's attention towards 's condition, to help out (and himself)

push pop had instructions, as all of glitch's pokemon did, to act on the behalf of rocket when they could get away with it. and while she wasn't very smart she was pretty sure that she could get away with it for now. stamping her feet she tried to do one of the few things she could to help cover tracks at the moment, summon the rain. with the rain dance complete clouds began to form above them, rain began to drop. slowly at first as the drizzle started but then more and more gathering from the static in the air from all the explosions. a storm was forming now. as torrents began to fall.

- glitch passes out fully
- push pop uses rain dance under the guise of being an idiot pokemon

safe space




Panic surges in her chest as draws close, a step gingerly taken backwards as she tries to keep her breathing in check. She doesn't want to be anywhere close to adults, anything that reminds her of things that should remain shadows in her past. 's intervention buys her some time to think, her knees buckling under her as she tries to back away. She'll remember to thank him for his help later but for now, she's lost in her own world of thoughts.

Catching onto her crumbling mental, Reiner gently pulls the child by her collar and lifts her onto her back like a newborn cub, taking a few steps away from Doug and towards in hopes that he can help in some way. If not in the comforting aspect, then at least in making the mini interrogation stop for now.

Tl;dr - Reiner (Luxray) pulls Eris away from and tries to create space by hiding behind

"Glitch's fine. Nurse Joy can heal anything- don'tcha worry 'bout him." Doug said as approached, reading the empathetic boy like a book as his hand planted itself on the boy's head and ruffled his hair, sighing. "Worry 'bout yerself, mister. This kinda mess is exactly what I was hoping to avoid."

If they had all stayed away as ordered- well, there was no assurances that nothing would have happened, but they would at least know what hadn't caused the issue.

As things were, any of their singular interactions could have been what drove the Meltan berserk, even if Doug was 100% pinning it on the worst teacher in history.

Fortunately for Hideo, his behavior was far from the worst thing to happen that day; his punishment could wait.

As Reiner attempted to pull away, Doug resisted the urge to snap at it; at least it was pulling her towards , instead of trying to run for it.

He turned his gaze to .

"Mind lookin' after the kids? I'll go get the rest of this mess sorted up." He said with a sigh, grabbing the brim of his hat before preparing himself to face the carnage- so to speak.

And then it began raining.

"What in the- when did that happen?" Doug said, brows furrowing tightly at the sky. It had been clear only a few seconds ago. "Just great- bloody rain, right now?"

He began to run, palming a netball and his phone, flipping it open.

A few moments later, he arrived to the site of the kill, were fresh, metallic biomass and massive, golden bolts were strewn about. His Centiskorch hung above preventing the rain from touching much of the 'corpse'. To his ear, he held his phone, finishing speaking a few words before flicking it closed.

"Good job, Manda." He said to his fire bug with a nod, before throwing his net ball, releasing an Orbeetle into the field. "Yer up, Dot. It's going straight to 's laboratory- only for Dr. Eva's eyes. She's waiting for you! Make sure to guard them proper once yer there."

To that, the Orbeetle nodded, before its eyes shone and psychic energy began to gather all around biomass and nuts, both its frisk ability and confusion taking hold of it and seizing it into the air- before Doug reached for his wrist.

Fascination Ufo



And then it, along with the Orbeetle, were all completely gone, poofed away, off to League's Headquarters and Head Scientist' Dr. Eva's Laboratories.

The quickly unfolding clouds didn't escape Josh's notice. While irregular weather patterns were common in near-tropical Hoenn, the clouds never came in that fast without being caused by a Pokemon move, as far as he knew. Perhaps he had just been doing this too long, but he knew when Rain Dance had been used. But why? And who? This was suspicious, and it was clear they needed to handle their business as soon as possible.

At least Hideo seemed alright. He nodded his head as he reached over and patted the kid on the head. "Looks like Glitch should be fine" he chimed in, wanting to at least settle down anxiety here. He could tell the kid's Aggron was hurt pretty bad. They needed to get it to a Pokemon Center or other healing device soon. Douglas had scared the guilty party child towards him meanwhile, and he sighed as he was asked by the Captain to play babysitter. Fine. He seemed to be the only one here who knew how anyway. He nodded his head, before he sent out his Espurr, one who had been trained to particularly handle Zack and Lyra. But slightly older kids should be in its wheelhouse too. Particularly its gentle nature and ability to use telekinesis to prevent accidents were especially useful. Once he'd herded the kids to him, he considered what needed to be done.

The girl was guilty. Accessory to murder of a Pokemon and possibly more. But there was no point in escalating things here. He was a Ranger, not an officer of the law. At least not anymore. So he decided he'd keep them calm for now and get them to the station. They could both be questioned there, and Thomas and Douglas could do whatever was needed to get that done.

"Once we've confirmed things are safe here, I'll take you both to the station. They have a healing machine there, same as the Pokemon Centers. We'll get you guys some water, some time to de-stress. Then we'll work on calling your parents" he brought up to Hideo and Eris, his voice dropping to calm and soft -- and leaving out the questioning part for now. He was horribly upset by how this had turned out, and the girl had put him on edge. But he knew how to hide that with his own children around, and he was using that same voice here.

"This is Amblin, an Espurr. He's what you could call a nanny Pokemon" he introduced with a gentle smile as he began fishing through his bag. "Hideo, can you bring out your Aggron? The least I can do is ease your worries. I have some Potions and first aid here, and I'm pretty good at administering to Pokemon" he brought up, wanting to ease Hideo's anxiety. "I grew up on a Pokemon Ranch, so this is pretty everyday for me. The least I can do is make sure your Aggron's stable and help them feel a bit more comfortable until we can get them to the station" he kept talking, wanting to distract them from the events that had unfolded.
