Just a stealth mission they said. A quick one two they said. You can handle it they said. And he'd agreed. Absolutely. The last mission he'd do as a breeder before moving onto fully focus on his other training with Cillian Quinn and Rowan Wrynn .

So why? Something felt off. So Mint simply hurried as fast as he could. coming through stored pokeballs and egg incubators. "C'mon...c'mon..." he whispered to himself as Zucchera trotted along him frowning. She'd tripped something on accident. Her tail had bumped into something and while they hadn't seen anything beep or an alarm go off....her trainer was still very much on high alert.

"Watch behind us..." the thief murmured as he stepped into another room, adjusting his glasses as he looked for the ditto. As the mareep trembled from the adrenaline coursing through it's little fluffy body, Mint began checking reports and ledges before grinning to himself as he foudn one. "I think this is it..." he murmured before popping out a pokemon from its ball and watching a pink glob land on the floor smiling up at him. "Yesssss!" he hissed excitedly, returning to little blob to its ball and shoving it into his belt for personal keeping. He then began to snatch up the rest of the ones on the shelf and throwing them in a bag for transport.

Zucchera would look at him then back at the corridor and take the lead out, ready to paralyze of zap whatever came her way. If she could remember to, nervous as she was. Mint followed in the darkness quietly, ready to close his eyes as the first sign of sparks from the Mareep.

"Shit-" Mint hadn't noticed how close the guard had been. Or well, Zucchera hadn't. She baa'd loudly as Callan turned the corner, scaring her half to death while Mint more or less froze as he watched the Klefki locked them in place. Not good. Not good at all. He adjusted his grip on his bag of Dittos, ready to make it out of there. He had to. He wouldn't live this down if he failed on his LAST mission before moving onto something harder. What kind of impression was that? Then again the whole point of the new training was just to better hismelf- NOT THE TIME TO RATIONALIZE LOSING.

"Mmm...give me a minute to consider my options." the grunt said as his Mareep sparked before yelling at the Klefki as she released a THUNDER WAVE at the sentient keychain. Meanwhile Mint was internally panicking because...what the fuck was FAIRY LOCK again? Did it go away after a while? Zucchera could hold them off. "Buy me time, get me an opening!" he ordered the little sheep as she sparked defiantly at Callan.

Mint grinned, but it was strained as another move failed. This was going poorly for them. Zucchera let out a yowl as she was slammed back by the sentient keychain. Mint began stepping backwards, the Mareep's clicking hooves skittering after him as the pair took off from Callan and darted the opposite way. "CHARGE!!" He shouted as the little cotton ball at his feet sparked wildly, charging herself for the next move.

Better to retreat than try to fight someone who was a little smarter than him. Nothing shameful about it. As long as he made it out. If he could make it outside, it'd be that much easier for the grunt to lose the ranger. "Zucchera? how're you doing baby?" he asked, checking in as they ran away. She yipped but otherwise seemed with it.
