Aaron had groaned when he got up. Looking around, he recognized the place as the Ultra Deep Sea. Yeah, been here before. And didn't plan on coming back after his trip with Alec, Elise, and Altagracia. He didn't even have his backpack with him this time, just his Pokemon. That wasn't good for the lad. He had to get out of here soon. Walking the path, he started to hear voices. Peeking around the corner, he could see them, several figures angry at...a child? No, wait, that was Hideo! Looking at the group...they were Rocket?! Fury rumbled throughout his being. Littleroot...it may have recovered a lot since Meteno, but he was still pissed all hell about it! Stepping around the corner, he released Scizor. "Swords Dance." His monotone voice boomed in the area, alerting them, and Hideo, to his presence. His red steel bug summoned swords around him briefly, boosting his attack power. "All right, you Rocket scum, who's first? Or do you all want to take me on? I don't care and I don't mind...I'll slaughter the lot of you." His Scizor shifted only slightly...he never saw his trainer to be this angry...or bloodthirsty before. But he still held his ground, ready to fight! Aaron's amber eyes burned with fury at the Rocket members, mentally counting down the seconds before he lost his patience and just outright attacked them first. Eris Halla Hideo Kino |

Aaron's brain stopped working as soon as he saw Eris. He stared at her. Then at the Rocket members. Then at Hideo. He...was trying to process this. Eris...was with Rocket? Why?! Some form of indoctrination? She said a name...Gavin? Was this the creep that took her? A chill ran down his spine when he really realized that he didn't know Eris that well. It did explain a couple of concerning things, but still. The blonde's spine stiffened when the two men talked to each other briefly, then the one gripped Eris's shoulder and whispered something in her ear. Her reaction told him what he wanted to know. She didn't want to do this. But had to for one reason or another. Aaron still hesitated though. Scizor was nervious. He recognized the girl too, but he'd never seen his trainer hesitate like this before. Hideo made the play. But his acting honestly...well, Aaron was unconvinced, but maybe the boy had a plan, and knew more about this situation than he did. So the amber eyed rage filled teen stepped forward. As did Scizor. "Oops. I stepped forward. Whatcha gonna do little girl? Cry? Get out of my way and I might let your friends keep some limbs. Sword's Dance again." Monotone, but resolute, he made his challenge. Scizor followed his trainer's command, using Sword's dance again. He was going to hit like a freaking truck...even that Legendary will feel it if she uses it. Even so, Aaron's eyes, if Eris was good at reading people, would tell her that his brain was short circuiting at this realization. Eris Halla Hideo Kino |

Aaron could hear the ticking. That guy...he needed to be eliminated or cut off. Eris unleashed a Togekiss, though it was an odd one. Even with dark skies and an odd move...something that was stirring and striking his ankles, he ignored it. Still, he had the advantage. Two Sword's Dances were nothing to scoff at, particularly with a Pokemon that had high attack power already and had the type advantage. Hideo made his move, moving in quickly, but instead of attacking the Togekiss, proceeded to use Rock Tomb to cut off the other Rocket members. Well, better make it look like she was putting up a fight then. Hopefully that Togekiss was one tough mother. "Bullet Punch." With that command, the Scizor's pincers glowed silver as he zoomed forward, zig-zag jumping from stone pillers and walls to get above the Togekiss, and strike from above with a blistering metal pincer. If it happened to miss, Scizor would hit the ground, making a huge crater beneath his pincer. Technician also boosted the move's strength some more. Out of his steel-types, only his Aegislash and Magnezone he's had longer, and trained the most of. Still, he wasn't unstoppable...but whatever he faced, they'd show it was hard fight.

Amber eyes narrowed as the barrier protected the Togekiss from a potential one hit KO. Mesprit. And a Malmetal stopped Hideo's attempt to cut them off. Why would she stop the barracade instead of acting shocked? Still...he may not know her well...but the opposite is also true. Even with her hurt cry triggering a certain...memory. No, memories. From back in Johto. Shaking his head, he heard the message. "Play Along." And how were they going to do that? Hideo made the play. A Z-move. Heading towards the Togekiss and Malmetal. But that was no garuntee that the Mesprit wouldn't interfere again. Sighing heavily, he'll strike at it directly with his strongest Pokemon. Taking out the Pokeball, he released his Trevenant, much stronger than when their journey started...and when it first met the two youngsters with him. With a bellowing roar, Aaron gave him the first order. "Phantom Force. Target Mesprit. Scizor, back off for now, use Sword's Dance again." With that, Scizor's attack strength was maxed out. The problem would be Malmetal. Scizor didn't have anything that could do significant damage to it. So for now, he had his iron bug back until the Z-move did its job. Meanwhile, Trevenant disappeared in shadows, waiting for the opportune moment... MP: 50 (participation in battle) + 40 (posts) = 90 mp Eris Halla Hideo Kino |

She knows that Mesprit must've received some sort of signal given just how quiet the pixie has gone, but she doesn't quite understand what Uxie means by it all. Is she supposed to actually attack them? While she's just about able to get Amor cracking the large boulder apart with a Dragon Hammer, Mercury joins in the fun, catching the shattered fragments and whipping them haphazardly back at the two boys.[break][break] Aaron, on the other hand, is somewhat of a wild card. His Trevenant has gone missing, most likely making use of the shadows to hide its presence but that doesn't quite stop Mesprit from sensing its emotions running high. Knowing that she'd be targeted next, the pixie chooses to hang on Eris' shoulder, playfully sticking her tongue out as she tries to seek the ghost with her own Future Sight.[break][break] As soon as she spots a disturbance, Mesprit cheers, directing Mercury to fling a rock right at Uxie as she claps with glee. Unbeknownst to anyone but Uxie, Mesprit seems to find this to be a rather exhilarating game of catch, and she doesn't plan on stopping until she's told to do so.

"Bullet Punch. Turn those rocks to dust." With glowing pincers, the Scizor went to work completely destroying the rocks thrown his way, actually turning them all into dust with a single strike. Hideo's Pokemon chose a different way of stopping the rocks. That Shadow Sky wasn't helping either...Scizor was likewise getting annoyed by it. "Aerial Ace. Then pummel that Togekiss with Iron Head." In a blinding red flash, Aaron's Scizor lashed out at the Togekiss once more. And will hopefully be able to headbutt the Pokemon with his shining skull. Meanwhile, Trevenant made his reappearance behind Eris and Mesprit, aiming a punch right at the Legendary. The big wooden fist was aimed in such a way that it wouldn't scratch a hair on Eris's head, but would still strike at the problematic Psychic type. From his other fist, a branch started to grow out of it, glowing green. Pointing it at the supervisor, it grew the Horn Leech rapidly for a stab at the guy's heart. Aaron...might have shown a tiny, malicious grin at the guy, not that he would have noticed due to distance, lighting, and the fact that he was being attacked instead of just Eris and her Pokemon.

The rock chunk scatters into smaller pieces and dust, obscuring the view of all combatants as Eris begins running.
