How DID he want to go about this?

Bringing his fingers to his chin, Felix gave their situation some thought. He originally had a plan organized, but for some reason, there was a voice in the back of his head urging for him to reconsider.

"There should be a side entrance from the left of the cabins. Dragapult," He gestured to one of the balls attached to his hip, "can scout for us."

Shrugging the bag from off his shoulder, he pulled it around to his chest, then flipped open the flap.

Inside were explosives.

"We can use this to redirect their attentions."

THEO BECKETT

It was good Theo was agreeing to the explosives because unbeknownst to either of them, it was required for the mission, and they weren't about to ransack a ship without reward.

Flicking Dragapult's ball from his utility belt, the pokemon flashed to life and gave the two rockets a ghastly smile.

"Clear out point A," Felix told the ghost. It, in return, nodded and went off towards the destinated location. "It'll take a minute."

As they waited for the pokemon's return, his hands went to work on the bombs, discreetly set up beside and attached to the various cargo boxes that occupied the front of the ship. By the time the 4 bombs were placed, Dragapult had returned. "Good?"

It nodded.

"Okay, take us there."

Tar-like bile spat out from the pokemon's mouth, splattering across the nearest wall to their left. When it had adequately made a large enough portal, he'd take lead into its pit. When they were to come out, it'd be to the previously spoken about the entrance, where several guards were casually chatting about tetris around the corner.

THEO BECKETT

And BOOM it went.

With a click of the button, a series of several explosions went off in the distance, garnering the attention of all the guards around the corner. It wasn't long until a flurry of footsteps could be heard rushing to the scene, followed by confused yelling.

Glancing back at Theo, Felix gave a nod before slipping into the hallway. From what he had remembered of its layout, the stowed away target would've been deeper into the cabins. Cautious, he gave each side of the hallway a look before entering, the doing the same each time they slipped into the following corridor.

Unfortunately for them, the stir of panic had caused more than a few guards to run towards the front of the ship. A duo of ace trainers had found themselves cooked up near the mouth of the next doorway. Before engaging, Felix, who kept to the edge of the corner, looked back at Theo for confirmation.

THEO BECKETT

Despite his past, Felix typically was the type of soldier to go for the nonlethal option first, then diving into the heavier response if all else fails. So when Theo goes for a knockout, so he does he, utilizing Dragapult's Sucker Punch as a distraction to throw the second guard to the ground. From there, the rest was simple.

"Okay," He nodded, pleased at the results. It wasn't anything surprising, but alas, he still felt the right to be pleased with themselves.

"It should be this way."

Unlike before, Felix forgoed the idea of stealth, as the commotion from outside had been clear enough to him: the ship was sinking, and their time was now limited.

Passing left and right passageway, his eyes traced every nameplate the cabins had to offer, looking intently for the one belonging to the captain of the ship.

THEO BECKETT

A dog whistle alerted the hound.

Dragapult coming to his aid, LOCK-ON flipped on, and the two quickly scouted the room.

Hurried footsteps could be heard rushing from down the corridors. They were far, but close enough to create a sense of urgency.

Eventually, they came across a hint, a sliver of hope: a box slipped below the cabin's desk.

Throwing the box below his arm, Felix glanced back at THEO BECKETT , nodded, then urged them to escape through the door. Hopefully, they'll still have enough time to avoid the incoming army of footsteps.

THEO BECKETT

Theo dealt with the approaching targets, while Felix kept his mind on escape. "Dragapult, point C."

Again, the toothy pokemon spat out a wad of ooz at the wall, which dripped and stretched until it created a sizeable hole. Looking back at Theo and the now paralyzed army of men and pokemon, Felix narrowed his eyes, then plunged into the darkness, with the assumption the other would soon follow.

On the other side of that marsh of sticky tar was the top of the cabins, stationed to the far south side of the ship. From there they held perfect seats to see the chaos they had created unfold: countless men running around, unchecked and scared, while those with their thoughts still collected worked on putting out the mountainious fire that flickered in the near distance.

Felix, not wanting to look any longer, threw out his Staraptor. "That's it."
