Luckily, Oliver jumped out of the way at exactly the right time, escaping the gruesome fate of standing in a rampaging Aggron's path. With her handcuffs having been removed by the well-meaning ranger, Andrea got up and waved her arms frantically. "D-don't attack him, Barron! I'm fine, see? He wasn't trying to hurt me!" She blurted out. Seemingly placated, the armor-clad rhinoceros just squinted its eyes at Oliver and made an 'I am watching you' gesture at him with its two claws.

With that misunderstanding out of the way, they could once again focus on protecting the safe. Mr. Banks nodded at the ranger's instructions. "A fine plan, young man." The middle-aged banker said, before he began entering the secret combination that opens the vault. It would only take a few more seconds.

Just then, a male voice was heard from outside. An unassuming local hero had come to save the day with his Blaziken in tow. That mighty chicken was a heroic Pokémon that no criminal would ever use. Andrea tilted her dragon-hooded head curiously. "Hey, how come he's allowed to help and I'm not?" She asked in regards to the good samaritan.

The Aggron made a simple "I'm watching you" gesture. Rolling his eyes, Weepinbell was eager for round two, and ready to go through with the plan. It took a bit, but Mr. Banks was finally able to open the vault, and let his grass type in. Meanwhile, the fierce battle continued between Nidoking and Dragonite. The dragon had gotten poisoned through either the poison type's Poison Point ability or from one of the Poison Jabs it had taken. At the same time...the 'king had also taken a few Aqua Tails, at least one Hurricane, and even a Dragon Rush. It seemed that 'king was every bit well trained and tenacious as his own dragon.

From up on a hill was a voice, a stranger with a Blaziken. No markings saying he was law enforcement. More moronic civilians?! This wasn't a video game! "Sir, unless you show me a badge of the law, I'm going to order you to leave this active crime scene!" The red head then gave the woman a harsh look. As if to say "did you not just hear me?". Taking out another Pokeball, he released his Breloom. "Brel, I need you to use Stun Spore on that Nidoking, try not to hit Drag, alright?" The fighting/grass type saluted and ran to flank the 'king. It was a battle of position, and even the 'king was starting to struggle to keep up...

"i'll be out of your hair in a second."

not literally, but close enough. his blaziken sweeps across the room, making quick work of the nidoking with BLAZE KICKS before charging straight for the sleeping drednaw.

looking over at the officer and the other civilians, theo smiles.

"team rocket here. we're just trying to help."

Andrea didn't stay upset at Oliver's patronizing attitude for that long. Soon, she was positively enthralled by the sheer spectacle of Dragonite and Nidoking fighting, trading powerful blow after powerful blow. "Wow... So this is what a true Pokémon battle is supposed to look like." She muttered in a mixture of awe and admiration.

It was all topped off by Blaziken barging in and finishing off both the Nidoking and the Drednaw with its signature attack. Then, the good samaritan announced himself as a member of the notorious Team Rocket, much to Andrea's confusion. "You're here to help? But... I thought Team Rocket were the bad guys." That's what her parents had told her anyway, thus she never questioned it.

"Finally, some help I can actually rely on!" Mr. Banks rejoiced, marching up to Theo and firmly shaking his hand, just like he had done to Oliver earlier. "Words cannot express how thankful I am. My brother owns a bank in Kanto and tells me that business has never been better since you lot took over. I don't believe the League's propaganda for a minute!"

"T-then why did you ask for the League's protection?" Andrea pointed out. Now she was even more confused. Despite the situation apparently being resolved, her two Pokémon stared warily at this newcomer that Mr. Banks was currently fawning over.

The Blaziken moved in. Alright, enough was enough. The woman at least seemed to have learned her lesson. Releasing Inteleon, he gave it orders as he took out handcuffs. Again. "Intel, Snipe Shot. Stop that Blaziken." While recently evolved, he had worked with Inteleon extensively. Still feisty as ever, and always itching for a fight, Intel at least took a calmer approach than before. Effectively blocking the way to the Drednaw, it fired a powerful water jet towards the blazing chicken that took down the Nidoking so quickly. That alone seemed odd...as determined as that 'king was and as strong as his Dragonite was, there wasn't any way it would go down that fast. Still, he recalled the poisoned dragon. "Sir, recall your Blaziken and put your hands up. I'm arresting you for obstruction." Walking up towards the guy, his introduction made him stop.

And grin maliciously. Oh, he's dealt with Rockets before. Stupid shenanigans that put both Pokemon and humans in Johto. Taking out an extendable baton, and extending it, he glared with unbridled hatred towards the man. "Yeah, that just convinces me more to arrest you. Recall your Blaziken, and get on your knees with your hands up. They don't ever help out." Then came the peanut gallery. "They are. Don't let this goody two shoe act fool you. They're con artists, murderers, Pokemon poachers, and more. But do go on and resist...let me add on to the charges..." Or an excuse to use his trusty baton. Far as the other member of the gallery, he couldn't help but agree with the lady. "That...and if you think that, I wouldn't store any money here. Maybe I should have let the robber steal the vault. I bet your brother is outright stealing from everyone he can over there. Or being a loan shark, preying on innocent people." He would almost be at the stranger. Technically, it may not hold the man for long, sadly, but any amount of jail time might make the guy think twice about crossing him. That, or the guy will resist, and Ollie can actually give him something to fear.

"you heard wrong, young one."

theo takes a moment to shake mr. banks' hand, feigning a smile that only looks to add on to the man's clear favoritism.

by now, anyone else that haven't left the bank are drawn towards the interaction between them. through the hushed voices, one of them clearly says: 'i think that's theo beckett! isn't he a wanted man?'

some of them even start filming on their phones.

"arrest me if you want, ranger. just know that it's thanks to rocket that the situation here has been resolved."

and as he says that, the drednaw falls as well, thus ending the battle.

"what the league failed to do."

Theo Beckett? A wanted man? Was that true? The lines between hero and villain were blurred, as the day was saved by a member of what was supposedly a criminal organization, while the baton-wielding ranger was threatening to beat him within an inch of his life in front of dozens of civilians... who were recording everything on their phones.

Needless to say, Mr. Banks did not appreciate the harsh accusations thrown at his bloodline. "I beg your pardon! The Banks' have never once been loan sharks! Our interest rates are nothing short of reasonable!" The clearly corrupt banker retorted. "Don't worry, young man. I'll hook you up with a good lawyer. It's the least I can do for you." He then told Theo, having by now firmly sided with Team Rocket.

Andrea, on the other hand, wasn't sure whose side to take, simply being stuck staring at the whole exchange like a Deerling in headlights. Hearing that Team Rocket were Pokémon poachers, Chomper had bared his fangs, and was angrily growling at Theo. The small dragon's mind at least hadn't been swayed by his vigilante act.

Oliver actually laughed in the guy's face as he put collapsed his baton and put it up, then putting this Theo in handcuffs. "That Nidoking was contained, and evidently on the verge of defeat. The Drednaw was asleep and guarded. The situation was on the verge of being resolved. You...didn't do squat. Plus, a little suspicious that you arrived in the first place with this kind of timing...pity I need either your permission or a warrant to search you and your residence more thoroughly, but that's for back up to do. Now, here are your rights..." What a pathetic narrative! Only the most feeble minded, blinded moron would believe such lies! It didn't escape Ollie's notice that the man also had three extra pokeballs. Could be filled with other Pokemon, but again, he needed permission or a warrant to check and test them. Either way, he read the man his rights as he awaited for back-up to take him away. Turning to Mr. Banks, the red head rose an eyebrow. "Oh? I wonder what an independent, non-bribable auditor would say...would be curious what your books and accounts show plus what your "clients" say..." Unfortunately, not his department, though hopefully his superiors would act on his recommendation. Even the kids his siblings' orphanage could smell the lies on the man.

"In the meantime, could you let Weepinbell out of your vault? And do be careful about breathing in the Sleep Powder spores." The young man made a simple request...hopefully the man would do so without complaint. There were some that had questions, including how he knew what Team Rocket did. "I'm from Johto, Blackthorne City. We get refugees every so often, and I've also gone in Kanto to assist others trying to get out. I've seen my share." He kept a firm hold on Theo's shoulder. The guy wasn't going to escape.

the moment the handcuffs appear, a few from the crowd start to show their distaste. boooooo! and the likes. natural reactions to be expected.

"kanto is thriving, and so too will hoenn."

he says to no one in particular.

still, before leaving, he looks back at — a young mind and soul destined for greatness, perhaps. only time will tell.

"everything is not as black and white as they make it out to be."

he smiles.

"it's nice to meet you."

Oliver might have been on to something. How come this Rocket member had shown up at the exact time a robbery was taking place? How had his Blaziken knocked out Drednaw - a Pokémon that boasted a quadruple resistance to its signature attack - so easily? And what about the Alakazam that had shown up briefly and was nowhere to be seen?

All of these questions didn't matter. Theo was being arrested by the hard-boiled ranger, much to the dismay of some onlookers who saw him as the underdog. Andrea, still conflicted, especially after what Theo had told her, didn't do anything to stop this outcome. Interfering hadn't worked out in her favor in the first place. "It was nice meeting you too, sir. Goodbye..." The dragon-costumed girl waved sadly, calling back her Aggron, and picking a still rattled Chomper up in her arms.

Meanwhile, Mr. Banks opened the door to the vault as Oliver had requested, but he was none too happy about the whole turn of events. "How typical... The League finds a scapegoat to take the blame, while the real criminal is still on the loose." He grumbled under his breath as he let Weepinbell out, putting a handkerchief over his mouth to protect himself from the lingering Sleep Powder spores.

Ollie grinned. "On the surface maybe, but dig just a millimeter, if that, and you'll find a very different story." As it usually happens, you have to dig a little to find the truth of things. The League wasn't perfect, far from it, but it was still no where near the tyranny that Rocket represents and inspires. Even after the little comment, Ollie rolled his eyes. "That's true. Not all Rockets are god awful people. But there are also cases where it is pretty black and white. You and Mr. Banks? The orphans my siblings take in can smell the lies you two spew. So if I were you, I'd exercise your right to remain silent." Even though part of the crowd booed him, more still cheered for him. And threw some wads of paper at the imbeciles. Causing the ranger to snap at them. There was no need for that, they were entitled to their opinion, though they also need to know that part of his job was arresting wanted men. It was up to the jury to decide his innocence or guilt. Assuming it went that far.

He also heard the grumble from Mr. Banks, again making Ollie snap at him too. "You do know that a common tactic Rockets have done is use one man to cause trouble, then use another to solve it, right? An easy bait and switch. The sheer timing of this glory hound and everything about it reeks of that kind of scenario. But that's for others to decide on following up with." Dear Arceus this man was an idiot...and a scoundrel more than likely. He still waved at the dragon-hooded lady. "Stay out of trouble, young lady!" And just in time, back-up arrived to both pick up and secure the knocked out Pokemon, the still out Blaziken, and also take this guy to the station for questioning. Hopefully they would also do the smart thing and scour the nearby area with everything they got for any sign of the culprit. And Ollie's job may just be done for now.
