his heartbeat's deafening and a threat hangs heavy over his head: unspoken but unwavering. marcel suddenly thinks he might be sick. this is not his burden alone by any means, but the shred of responsbility that has latched to him is damning enough.
[break][break]
the water's close enough to graze the toes of his shoes. he doesn't notice.
[break][break]
his eyes rove over the river's surface, and the stretch of land beyond it. there's a resolved fury in the set of his jaw which isn't often present in the man. he knows he's in trouble, that this missions means infinitely more than he could have ever imagined. this is as close to an outstretched hand he will ever get, a shot at redemption.
[break][break]
"we're catching him."
[break][break]
this is for his benefit mostly, a promise to himself. he's surprised to find his voice doesn't shake as he speaks.

tearing at the seams

he's here.

athena's suspicions are only confirmed by the voice of her partner, however senseless that title may be to her because the term partner implies a level of trust between the two, and right now, nothing exists between her and the fair-haired man but doubt.

doubt that this mission is going to succeed. doubt that if things go south he'll have her back. doubt that they won't run into trouble. but the one thing that she never doubts, not even for a second, is her ability to see this mission through to the very end.

the man will be captured because athena wills it so.

"he went that way."

she's kneeling on the ground as she points north. the footprints in the wet soil give the hostage away. rising back up to her feet, she starts walking in the direction of it.

"he can't have gotten far."

kidnap?

what a joke.

all it takes is a bit of elbow grease to get dominic sinclair to find him an in. which grunt to apprehend him, which location to get cornered, it all goes according to plan and fernando finds himself embroiled into the heart of slateport. the intentional choice of being polished off to someone green enough avoid an escalation allows him to be ferried off relatively unharmed. the novice doesn't even notice the kecleon trailing behind him until its too late.

---

in exchange for learning about some of the routes that rocket uses within slateport, he trips a few alarms. they know he's free and the bounty goes live—capture the prisoner at any costs, dead or alive!

moving back toward mauville is no easy feat. still, he perseveres because it's the hard way. his time in the fiery path come to mind and there's merit in repeating a tedious experience. it keeps the mind sharp and stirs a familiarity with the land. his time in slateport may be short lived for now but he will be back. to take back a city requires knowing its ins and outs.

two rockets proceed to give chase and they're hot on his trail. bold and fearless, he continues at a casual pace, accruing ground with each muddied step. three pokemon flank him, poised in a triangle formation. being unafraid does not mean being careless. he's still in what borders rocket territory and prepares accordingly.

[attr="class","post"]not a second's wasted. the moment athena lifts her hand, he's moving in that direction. he can't help but wonder who the bosses will bring their first down most fiercly: the grunt who didn't notice his escape, or him, who had arrived to collect him a moment too late. just a moment, but that was all it took.
[break][break]
marcel decides this train of thought is futile, and focuses on the footprints before him. when the man and his pokemon fall under his gaze, a mix of relief and dread builds up the pit of his stomach. his eyes meet athena's and he nods his head, a silent call for action.
[break][break]
without a sound he takes out a pokeball. his dragonair is released, knowing what marcel wants from his expression. they've been through this enough times. immobilise. first an ice beam is aimed at their feet, then comes thunderwave in quick succession. marcel only hopes he does not look back, and they at least have the advantage of surprise.

perfect paradise

tearing at the seams

the element of surprise favors them, but will it be enough to win them the battle? they are about to find out.

the man comes into sight; how the two of them look at each other reveals that they at the very least are on the same wavelength. though their stakes in the mission differ, they have a common goal which both of them will see through. the look in his eyes tells her so.

when marcel reaches for a pokeball so does athena. with two in her hand, she silently calls out her team just as the first ICE BEAM travels across, targeting the man's feet. while marcel focuses on immobilizing, athena's priorities lie elsewhere.

immobilization is a valid tactic but the chances of success are low if support is still present. and so she points to the three pokemon flanking, determination in her eyes and disdain in her voice.

"go."

following the THUNDERWAVE, her team move as one, speed rivaling that of the electric-wave that surges forward.

ampharos' CHARGE only looks to boost her THUNDER that cracks down from the heavens, breaking through the clouds as it looks to strike the riolu. hakamo-o's DRAGON DANCE is only a set up for the DRAGON CLAW that follows; sharp claws drag down at the heliolisk, looking to damage.

meanwhuile, athena moves closer.

by all means, they should catch them by surprise but anyone familiar with the riolu species should know better. he's playing with them, granting them an opportunity to hunt. why? because those who commit becomes the easiest of prey.

one, two, three. three additional blips on the radar and seemingly out of nowhere. the riolu's not stupid. its INNER FOCUS on the situation allows it to respond to their presence. there's no flinching nor fear at the sudden shift. no, FORESIGHT is twenty, twenty, and the pokemon lets out a cautionary cry to let them know what's to come. instinctively, he reaches for a pokeball. there's safety in numbers.

fernando turns around in time to see a blue outline of the dragonair. the ICE BEAM aims true and hits underneath his feet, barely missing due to him reeling back and away from where he was previously standing. but the beam still accomplishes its job. when the ICE BEAM hits the ground, the ice expands and encroaches onto his shoes, climbing up past his ankles and shackling him in place.

next comes the THUNDER WAVE and fernando can barely scramble for the correct pokeball quick enough. his proactive movements allow him to unhook the right one just in time to let it drop onto the ice below. it cracks, spilling out the rhydon who towers in front of him. its bulky body tanks the THUNDER WAVE with ease, shaking it off as the electricity disperses.

"battle routine set."

goosebumps raise and they settle the pit in their stomachs. it's time to move.

"execute."

the CHARGED THUNDER erupts from the sky and finds itself homing on a particular target. it's not the riolu that the ampharos had intended. the THUNDER can't help but stray from its destination, acting on the rhydon's LIGHTNING ROD, striking it head on and ultimately being redirected harmlessly into the ground. the pokemon responds by grunting, STOMPING on the build up of ice that keeps fernando imprisoned and shattering it like glass.

chunks of ice still remain on his pant sleeve and his feet are numb, but he's mobile now and starts to double backwards to create spacing.

this gives the rest of his pokemon free reign to act on their own. the hakamo-o comes in close and all eyes are on the melee combatant. the heliolisk hisses, crouching as the DRAGON CLAWS come down. each one makes their mark but ends up leaving the pokemon open for the rampaging BULLDOZE that follows. the electric lizard forfeits lighting up the field with electricity, wary of friendly fire, and settles for a straight on melee assault that's set to ignore the result and run straight on through.

the weavile, left unattended, sees an opportunity to follow up. KEEN EYES spots and opening after the heliolisk's BULLDOZE and seeks to deliver PUNISHMENT to the hamako-o. several ICE SHARDS erupt from the ice pokemon's palm, shooting with a narrow burst that shows a startling accuracy for the dragon pokemon's center of mass.

that leaves the ampharos and the rhydon seeks to return the favor with a series of ROCK BLASTS. several boulders spawn from the pokemon finger tips, firing off in several volley's that seek to pulverize the pokemon. naturally, riolu keeps its distance, following suit with COPYCAT.

it goes without saying that fernando reaches for another pokeball, always ready to bring out another one to proactively secure a stable situation on his end.

[attr="class","post"]once the ice beam's hit its mark, spiritomb's released to turn the numbers in their favour. not much can be done after that, though, for the introduction of rhydon forces his plan to fall short. still, he takes this in his stride; adapting, persisting.

athena can handle herself, but that doesn't mean he will stand back. a clear wall appears to break out of the ground, making a divide beteen hakamo-o and the two foe pokemon as his dragonair uses PROTECT. ampharos, he decides, can fend for itself. spiritomb follows not a moment after, emerging into the chaos with SHADOW SNEAK. it's green eyes narrow as the orbs around it spin faster and faster, staring straight at weavile, inflicting a CURSE

athena can handle herself, but the help is appreciated. gratitude can be spared for later. the only thing that matters now is ensuring the capture of this running fool.

the invisible barrier that is PROTECT comes at an opportune time. the impact of the BULLDOZE is rendered useless. the heloilisk is left standing, dazed and confused by the force of the impact. it also protects hakamo-o from the flurry of blows from the sneaky weavile.

hissing, hakamo-o lunges forward. CLOSE COMBAT is how the dragon-type will deal with the pesky weavile. large fists swing at the dark type in quick succession, punching in various places and in different motions. he then turns to swing his DRAGON CLAW down once more at the heliolisk.

ampharos will have a more difficult time with the attacks that come her way. with no luxury of an invisible barrier to protect her, ampharos has no choice but to attempt to dodge the ROCK BLASTS.

nimble on her feet, ampharos leaps from one spot to another, ninja-like in her movements but it's still not enough to escape from all of them. whether it be from the rhydon or riolu, a few chunks of rock smack against her fair skin, breaking upon impact.

COTTON GUARD does what it is intended to. with the damage considerably lessened, ampharos leaves relatively unscraped. she returns the damage taken with DRAGON PULSE, targeting the large rhydon.

the battle provides a comfortable distraction for athena to slip forward. she draws her gun, holding it behind her back as she uses the cover of the foliage to continue forward. she nears the man.
