For a heartbeat, Angelo leans into the warm presence of his wife as they stand back-to-back in the chill of the rain. Her partnership silently reassuring. Inciting.

Together, he feels, they could overcome anything.

Anticipation coils tight in the turbulent, charged air, every soul awaiting the crack of a lightning bolt to signal and summon chaos anew.

It's no surprise which pair shatters the bubble with flying fists – she's the explosion of uncontained thunder before his silent, precise strike.

Angelo, meanwhile, loosens his shoulder muscles with a meandering roll, his opponent pacing the deck. Blue eyes take on an uninterested veneer, deceptively focused.

They're hesitating, he observes, not hunting.

“What're you waiting for? Not like you needed an invitation to come aboard.” Angelo calls over, insultingly casual as he takes the time to roll up his sleeves. Words a gesturing hand, taunting. “Not turning shy on me, are you? Nothing to be embarrassed about, a lot of people get performance anxie–”

A fist comes towards him, then another. Both of which Angelo dodges with swift slips to the side, stepping backwards out of range. Wildly, the Rocket Grunt lunges after him with desperate aggression, throwing all their weight into a sloppy punch.

And he takes advantage of it.

Knuckles clip past the pilot's ear as his hand strikes out to grab the back of their neck. Leading their already off-balance stance into a fall, their nose meeting the hard bone of his raised knee.

Within the sky, X-Ray lets out a furious hiss as fangs sink into his flesh, caught by a Crobat's Leech Life. In their struggle, the Dragapult spits Will-O-Wisp flames into his aggressor's face.

Instantly the Crobat flails backwards, wings frantically flapping as if to tries to chase the flames away. X-Ray tilts a smug chin, aglow with vindictive Hex energy.

Angelo's back is tackled roughly into the railing, pain shooting up his spine and the wind knocked from him, when the poison type drops on top of a container with a clang.

Detaching itself from his arm, Chimecho lunges more like a whip than a gentle ribbon caught on the breeze. Snapping itself around the Team Rocket grunts wrist as they go for a punch, it locks them to the ship railings.

Helping their forehead find metal, Angelo leaves them to enjoy one final nap before they're to be handed off to the authorities, turning towards where skyler dross 's yell had last been heard.

Up above, a grim sky lights up with a flash of psychic energy. Future Sight dropping a chunk of energy into the sea...

Her furious scream paves the way for the grunt's howl of pain as his wrist shatters under the strength of her grip. Skyler takes iron-scented air into her lungs, panting harshly against the pouring rain and she turns on the Rocket and kicks him against the wall of the nearby container.
[break][break]
Lightning surges in the sky above, casting the scene in black and white for a single, fleeting moment. Catching Skyler as she spits blood onto the ground and grasps a fistfull of the Rocket's hair. Reaching hands grab onto her limbs, but the captain scarcely acknowledges them. Her snarl is swallowed by the rumble of thunder, but her teeth, bloody and bared to the elements, showcase the feral quality of her assault.
[break][break]
"Goodnight, asshole."
[break][break]
The Rocket's head makes a dull thud as it cracks against the container, and the man satisfyingly crumbles at her feet. Good riddance.
[break][break]
When Angelo turns to her, she's skillfully tying the Rocket's hands. All wrapped up pretty to be shoved into the cargo hold to wait for the proper authorities in Ever Grande.
[break][break]
"Is that all of 'em?" Other unconscious bodies litter the space between containers, and she pokes at one with her boot to make sure they're not about to spring up and attack them. Or worse, run away. Nautica had a reputation to build and maintain.
[break][break]
The groan of the ship's hull catches Skyler's attention, followed by a violent motion that has the ship lurching starboardside. Sea legs barely keep her upright, and she scrambles to lean against a container as the ship tilts dangerously. Looking past the downpour, Skyler catches the crest of a wave climbing over nearby containers to crash against the deck.
[break][break]
They weren't due any storms, not for a few days. Not unless-
[break][break]
She doesn't have to look, intimately connected to the rising entity. But she still clambers forward against seaspray and howling winds to hold onto the railing and peer into the darkened, choppy surface of the deep ocean.
[break][break]
Just in time to witness the infernal hues glowing underwater. Distant screams and shouts of alarm are muffled by a low, alien-like rumble echoed in her chest in time with her heartbeat. Like a siren song, it keeps Skyler poised - mesmerized - at the edge of the SS Purge.
[break][break]
Until the colossal shape of Kyogre emerges from the depths to sink its teeth into the bigger boat.
[break][break]
Steel bends and twists in a symphony of blind destruction. It takes no more than a minute for the enemy vessel to be sunk the under the waves, gone forever.

It takes but one flyover, sight traversing the length of the SS Purge, to confirm the deck had been thoroughly swept. Angelo's field of vision returning with a psychic severing blink without worry, not when his audience was but a collection of unconscious bodies.

“That's all of them,” he confidently verifies, ignoring the protest of his blossoming bruises and fresh scrapes as he crouches by a Rocket grunt. There, he checks their pockets for weapons and pokéballs, disarming them in case they wake up and get feisty. Give the Ever Grande authorities one less job to do.

While he does cold, blue eyes methodically scan for necks webbed with burn scars. He doesn't find what he's looking for.

“The fuck...”

Angelo stops only when the boat lurches and harrowingly groans beneath him, his hand taking to the corner of a container while the other grabs a Rocket by their collar. Making sure they didn't slip off the side of the boat and fall into the churning deep.

Slower than Skyler, when the SS Purge eases in its rocking, he approaches the railings. Appearing by her side just as Kyogre lunges from the depths...

Its prison bars of bone descending upon the boat brings a big chill down Angelo's spine, resurfacing the memory of Sootopolis as its pulled into an ocean stained red from the setting sun.

It was one not easily forgotten nor entirely forgiven.

Most likely never would be.

Not like an ancient deity such as Kyogre cared much for the grudges left in the wake of its surging tide, he logically knew.

Pushing away from the railings and his turbulent reminiscing both, Angelo's attention latches onto work, whistling for his pokémon.

They'd need to get them out of the water to deliver to Ever Grande. It was more beneficial to Nautica to secure attempted cargo smugglers in the hold, than have them sink to the bottom of the ocean.

“We better fish the stragglers out of there,” he takes a hand to Skyler's shoulder in a squeeze first. Taking in her scraped up, vivaciously alive features with an appreciative, bloodied-lip grin. “Nice work on the welcoming committee, Dross. Not too bad.”

Their guests would be relieved to transfer into the League's hands at port, he's sure.
