Bringing back peace with MATIAS SILPH

Things had been getting way out of hand in the city, to the point the two operatives in charge of repelling rocket proper had to go back and help.

There was a small amount of frustration in him, but nonetheless, he went back alongside Matias to Lilycove, the two swiftly covering ground until they were flying over buildings and streets packed full of angry folks.

Gwyar's work prior to Hoenn rarely involved riots, unless he was helping instigate them, but he knew the theory behind handling one well enough.

He glanced over to Q, still hitching a ride with the Elite 4, and nodded at the Rotom-Drone, prompting a grin out of it before it detached and began to fly over the chaos, deploying its 'mini-mes' to try and find the instigators while Gwyar met Matias' gaze before flying straight for the mass of riot-geared Officers standing opposite to the rioters like a barricade.

He landed behind the group, the flap of Lancelette's wings kicking up dust as he met the nearest officer's gaze.

"Report!"

'Wore black' was not much to go on, but they already knew it was rocket that was behind things. Best to leverage their resources while they could.

"Duly noted. Keep up the good work, young man. Please inform our colleagues of Elite 4 MATIAS SILPH' arrival."

They looked as though needed the morale boost to tie them over until the end of the riot.

As the young officer scampered away to do as told, Gwyar turned towards Matias, before glancing over to the struggling barricades.

"We've got a few options." He said, looking over the rioters. "None of which are particularly good, I'm sure you know."

There was no way to 'peacefully' resolve a violent riot once it began— not as far as Gwyar was concerned anyway. He was not here to capitulate to the demands of Rocket-manipulated masses.

But any action beyond capitulation would be either insufficient or repressive; inaction on the other hand, would make them apathetic to the plight of the people.

Very annoying circumstances.

"Shall make a token attempt at diplomacy? Or shall we get right to our task? I find zero gravity to be an oft effective tool for breaking up riots." Gwyar said, digits dragging over pokeballs. "Given the sensitive nature of these circumstances, and the fact that you are highest ranking officer present... I shall defer to your judgement, Captain Silph."

Taciturn though the man may be, the presence of an Elite 4 was enough wind to boost everyone's sails. And with the officers receiving one last boost of adrenaline to see the job done and over with...

"Of course." Gwyar replied simply, a smile on his lips as he palmed one of his pokeballs, throwing it in the air.

A Solrock was released over the crowds, hovering over the barrier with blank, red eyes staring down at the rioters.

"Sonny." Gwyar intoned, humming. "Put our dear citizens on time out, please. Gravity."

The world shifted as the Solrock's gaze took into a deep violet hue and a mantle of psychic energy covered its form— before it suddenly expanded outwards into a large sphere.

Its radius was not enough to cover the entirety of the riot— nowhere near enough, really, not with chaos of this size. But it nonetheless picked up all those whom tried to trespass unto beyond the barriers.

"I believe some words from you would do wonders as well, Sir." Gwyar said simply as he held up a megaphone he had taken from the earlier youth to Matias.

There is a thick fear permeating the air; with Elite 4 Matias here, few are willing to risk continuing an offensive, let alone pick a fight with him directly.

It almost looks like, whether the people wanted it or not, the protest truly was over.

If only.

"He's a FAAAAKE!" Screamed darkly suited man from among the crowd before a pokeball soared through the air, releasing a large, shining silhouette onto the streets.

As the Rhydon landed heavily onto the asphalt, cement and gravel splintering underneath its heel, the rock-type reeled back before unleashing an earth shaking Roar.

The people suspended by gravity found themselves screaming as their weightless bodies were sent hurtling across the air by the potent, sonic shockwave which barreled towards Matias, threatening to send the elite 4 flying back.

Gwyar let Matias handle himself— he had far too many problems to deal with.

"Q!" He shouted even as tapped his Solrock's head and whistled sharply, his corviknight taking to the air in a rush as the Solrock briefly attempted to reverse back and forth gravity in an attempt to catch the people dangerously flying about.

"ON IT!" Q shouted back as it rose in the air, it's camera peering into the crowd for the shadowy figure that had thrown the pokemon... and re-ignited some of the riot's near quenched flames.

The Rhydon releases a furious bellow as the water bullet slams into ti, sending it hurtling back both wet and weary, its heavy ankles tearing through the pavement as it grind itself to a stop with its claws, glaring savagely at the fossil pokemon as it opened its maw wide.

Its throat gleamed with a rainbow of colors before shockwaves came pouring out in waves, a Hyper beam suddenly tearing out and across the streets towards the Kabutops.

As Matias advanced through the crowds, he would find them growing rowdier by the second, some of the folk taking swipes at him now that he had been... '''revealed''' as a '''fake''' by the masked stranger.

But he could see them amongst the crowd, looking but never daring to approach. The people wearing all black, masking their features with facemasks and hoodies and gloves, leaving little to no skin showing as they watched the crowd turn against him with glee.

"Captain Siiilph!" Came a voice from above, the Rotom-drone slowly descending upon the crowd. "Close your eyes in 3, 2, 1!"

A blinding flash of light followed as the rotom suddenly exploded into pure white luminescence, the shouting of the crowd intensifying even as they grew timid in their sudden blindness.

They were not the only ones blinded... some of the men in black themselves seemed quite out of it. Several of them, within clear view of Matias.

The Rhydon was left panting and paralyzed by its hyper beam, a look of brief disbelief crossing its angry features as it realized its opponent was not only still on its feet, but perfectly capable of fighting back.

Men and women in black collapsed onto their backs as their legs were swept off from under them, the wind in their lungs knocked out of them as several officers ran past Matias in a rush, descending upon the masked folk with cuffs.

Even the Rhydon user was cuffed as Gwyar approached Matias, humming.

"Excellent work, sir. It appears the agitators have all been apprehended." The blonde said, arms behind his back. "Without their deception, it shouldn't be long before the officers present get everything under control."

The man looked around, from one darkly clothed man and woman to another, before shaking his head in disappointment.

"Though it's fortunate they were not stronger, it's a pity." He said, sighing. "It does not seem as though I'll witness Ser Virizion's blade on this day."

"You're probably quite right." He said with a chuckle, reaching into his breast pocket to produce a simple card, his name and contact info upon it. "If you're ever in need of a second, please don't hesitate to contact me."

The league was not lacking in competent staff, regardless of rocket's claims, but sometimes, someone who was okay with hanging back, following orders and making due with suggestions was appreciated more than equally willful men, he tended to find.

At Matias' offer, he could only smile broadly.

"I would like that a lot."
