[attr="class","bisc"]While against theft and underhandedness in general, Lydia could not allow terrorists to retain control of dangerous objects. Before subduing them, she allowed them a chance to surrender. They did not. Now, they lay on the ground. All but one operative were still breathing. That one had attempted to choke her out and received a knife between the ribs for her troubles. The rest marked for the prisoner squad. "I wish you luck."

When Inigo turned the corner, he’d be greeted by a young woman. A gun clenched familiarly in her hands with two canid Pokemon at her side. Currently hefting up the box was a spikeball of a Druddigon. Its soldiers hunched protectively around its cargo, a spiny cage around what intel said were canisters of poison gas. A growl from this beast made Lydia turn toward the interloper.


Immediately, the hounds at her side took a step forward. An aura sphere crackled in the paws of the newly evolved Lucario. The Lycanroc, meanwhile, drew obsidian nails against the ground. Sparks flew from her hands. Lydia, meanwhile, wrinkled her nose. “I’m not your cuz.” The porcelain doll stated calmly. The blood on her hand at odds with both her stature and face. “And your sarcasm is pointless.” They may be guilty about what was to happen, but neither were sorry.


“The box remains where it is.” The gun jerked to the right. “Move, Rocket.” Battle was easier when you reduced enemies to stereotypes. The nasty, immoral terrorist. The mad dogs of Silace and harbingers of war. Not fathers. Not sisters. Fairytale monsters. The masks made it easier. “Now.”

A pretty little thing with looks to deceive, then.[break]
He smirked beneath his mask, sparing an eye towards his quarry and her companions.[break][break]

”Don’t say I didn’t give ya a chance, then~,” he chuckled, an audible smile met in tandem with a sweep across the capsules mounted upon his person. Within mere moments, a series of flashes had borne creatures within their midsts; a simple means of leveling the playing field as those selfsame beasts lunged forth with a furor.[break][break]

Within an utmost, churning blaze did a bone emerge, soaring true towards the aura Pokemon in the form of a Bonemerang while the Marowak it belonged to followed after it. Following his trail had been another duo—a Tyranitar and Aggron—as they, too, cast themselves from their capsules. A faint quake took the earth as they landed, prompting dust to flick and fly from beneath them— though in the case of the green-scaled beast, they seemed to almost polarize and attract toward her form, coalescing within a rapid vortex around her prior to bursting forth across the field before them all, scattering sand across the vision of any and all present.[break][break]

Immediately afterward, she started towards the Lycanroc baring its fangs, roaring as the ground beneath her quaked once more with a Stomping Tantrum, all while the remaining Aggron simply remained further back and by his trainer, procuring a Protect before the two of them at the sight of the firearm within the woman’s hand.[break][break]

With a click of the tongue, however, the Rocket had shifted a hand towards one of the two holsters upon his hip, swiftly brandishing a gun of his own as his Pokemon had begun to situate themselves and act as they did. He spun it within his grasp swiftly prior to catching it within a firm and familiar grasp, narrowing his eyes and grinning wider as he aimed not towards the League member so confident in her act of steadfast defiance, but rather, the drake that held the goods.[break][break]

He fired just before the barrier manifested itself.[break][break]

The rock-typed hound seemed to be the more annoying of the bunch— or, at the very least, enough of one to prompt a soft groan to hiss from the Rocket’s lips upon seeing it shift to and fro across the battlefield. As it initially bounded through the clearing—finding purchase against the Tyranitar with its Accelerock in passing, though simply deflecting off the Protect of the Aggron standing by him—he merely kept a close eye upon it.[break][break]

So many movements and skills used in a single window, it seemed, though it had been far from the only foe in battle.[break][break]

For the Marowak afar, he simply manifested his bone after it had been flung away once more, standing ready and watching the Aura Sphere form within his opponent’s paws with little to no concern nor stress upon his expression. With a somewhat open, yet readied stance, he merely stood his ground and allowed the bipedal hound to close the distance, almost flashing it a coy, taunting glare as the orbs, themselves, found no purchase. As they simply phased through him, another bone manifested within his remaining hand, with another conjuring above head prior to crushing all three towards the Lucario in a quickened Bone Rush.[break][break]

All the while, the Ancient Power curved swiftly around the Aggron and his barrier, crushing into him with a barrage of dust and particles that caused him and his trainer to stagger briefly. A roar emitted from the steel beast as his eyes found themselves upon the aforementioned wolf shortly after, and without wasting the chance to close the already shortened distance, he took a single, hefty step forward and rammed his head towards its flank with an Iron Head.[break][break]

The remaining Tyranitar, taking a short amount of time to shake off the prior blow, glanced around her surroundings long enough to accommodate them before giving a roar of her own. The stones around them—inclusive of the remaining Ancient Power and Stealth Rock—swiftly began to lift and surge within a brief torrent, tossing themselves up a short distance before falling down towards the League trainer in the form of a Rock Slide. In the same amount of time, the Rocket member leaned over to attain another look towards the Druddigon afar once more, firing several more bullets off towards it, though with more attention upon the canisters within the box it held.[break][break]

More rounds fired, yet none landed the mark he intended above all.[break]
He growled lowly, gritting his teeth.[break][break]

”Outta all the days to have shit fuckin’ aim…” he hissed to himself, furrowing his brows while numerous clicks sounded from the firearm within his grasp. Loosening the clip within the chamber, he swiftly glared across the battlefield while replacing it with a new one, immediately calling out in a foreign language—undoubtedly a dialect of Alolan—to catch the attentions of those accompanying him.[break][break]

”Kia tere…!” he yelled amidst the winds, his voice distorted and overbearing by the filter within his gear. He glanced towards the golem that entered the field from amidst the chaos, clicking his tongue once more prior to swiftly swiping his hand across another capsule upon his belt. ”Wrap it up! Inaianei!”[break][break]

An immediate cacophony of differing cries and howls met his own as a Sharpedo manifested by him, jetting across the clearing only a mere moment after he’d found enough of a grasp upon its fin to be able to accompany it without falling off. They jetted through the clearing at a frightening speed—past Pokemon and trainer, alike—before whipping around to a stop near where the crate had been buried.[break][break]

As the Sharpedo lashed towards the Druddigon with a swift Ice Fang in passing, the Rocket glared swiftly around for the canisters, breathing another growl of impatience as his companions took their blows. A booming, ”Aroha!” had earned the immediate attention of the Tyranitar some ways away, and upon noting how her trainer gestured towards the rubble, had immediately nodded and roared once more. She lifted it and the debris with it with a combination of another Rock Slide and her Sand Stream to reveal the box, swinging her body, as well as the rocks with the motion, towards the incoming Druddigon as he rushed forward. Despite the barrage of rocks, some of his Outrage still found purchase upon her.[break][break]

The Marowak, meanwhile, merely continued to stand his ground with an oddly excited and devious spark within his eye, awaiting the incoming Meteor Mash and taking the brunt of it, causing him to briefly stagger, stumble, and ultimately be sent rolling into the sandstorm at the sheer force. Though the strike found its mark, the remaining bone within his grasp ignited ever brighter upon contact, sending forth a wave of fire before more bones appeared, yet again, where he had once stood. Like before, they cracked down towards the Lucario in quick succession—another Bone Rush—before he began to use the flame, attack, and sand cover as means to begin backing away, though one of the bones had been wasted in an effort to block the bullet coming his way.[break][break]

Within the outskirts of the carnage had been the Rocket’s Aggron, once more taking the damage head on— though still seemingly at a manageable amount as some of the stones had scraped and clinked against its bodily armor. Nevertheless, however, he staggered back with a subtly angered growl, glaring towards the hound standing before him before noting how his other companions had begun to back away in their own ways as the poison began to leak out.[break][break]

A low chuff left his maw as his eyes shifted towards the Lycanroc once more. Though he made no attack, he simply smashed his fists together, seemingly prompting several pieces of his armored body to fall in the form of an Autotomize. He began to circle around, watchful of the others, while still keeping his attention upon the hound before him.[break][break]

To have aid in accelerating what he’d wanted to do— and by a League member, nonetheless.[break]
Who was he to argue against it, in the long run?[break][break]

In the long run, however, he had been skeptical about whether or not the gunshots would have ignited and exploded the canisters, only speeding away upon his Sharpedo as a means of remaining safer above all, lest the metaphorical dice dictated the worst. In light of ensuring his escape had a thorough means of proceeding as smoothly as possible, he’d ran his hand along the capsules upon his belt within a swift manner, recalling two of his three companions to save them the trouble of running along.[break][break]

Speed hadn’t entirely been their strongest suit, after all; the life of resilient goliaths and strikers far more befitting of them.[break][break]

However, in the midst of retreat, the recall hadn’t been as swift as it could’ve been in the case of the fire bearer. Though he’d managed to scramble back upon his feet in the beginnings of an attempted escape, the fact of the matter was that he was still wounded after taking a number of strikes so rashly— and even more so as the Lucario he’d began distancing himself from landed another bone strike, tried and true, upon his back.[break][break]

The Accelerock had been the nail in the coffin for him, both in speed and vitality.[break][break]

Struck by the hound in passing, he tumbled across the dirt with a low, disgruntled cross between a growl and a groan. His vision blurred and darkened on impact, and though he began to scramble once more in an attempt to lift himself, he found his strength failing him entirely before the familiar flash of recall enveloped him, bringing him back to his trainer.[break][break]

Meanwhile, the Rocket himself watched the recollections occur for just a moment before noting the gun pointed at him, instantaneously tensing and leaning upon the shark ferrying him in a sudden attempt to skew their path, though as the beast staggered suddenly amidst a bellow of pain, he found himself hunkering down and holding on a tad tighter as one of the bullets found purchase. A frustrated groan, alongside a foreign tongued curse, escaped his lips as the Sharpedo situated itself.[break][break]

The man glanced down for just a moment’s examination before lifting his gaze—a hardened, burning glare staved only by the material of his mask—directed itself towards the woman’s lycan companions before firing the rest of his clip towards them as swiftly as possible while they still stood within the physical world.[break][break]

And then, seeing the specter shoot his fist towards the selfsame canisters he’d wanted to destroy, veered his aquatic steed around in favor of speeding away. The Aggron accompanying him took the battery of a Dragon Tail while waiting for his trainer to pass, ready to prop another barrier up if needed, though instead took his exit as a proper prompt to start his own.[break][break]

So he staggered, once more winded, briefly, by the impact, before immediately shedding more of the armor that clung to his form. Another Autotomize lessened his weight immensely, and without so much as a moment of hesitation, he opted to follow as closely behind his companions in their leave as the canisters received impact.[break][break]

Hopefully the gas and carnage would serve as an environmental barricade to League travels, at the very least.[break][break]
