Gideon had never experienced the sensation of choking on his own blood.[break][break]

It was metallic, suffocating. Oxygen barely passed through the viscous fluid coating his pharynx. He’d never felt closer to dying. Oddly, the anxiety he experienced from such a constriction almost matched the awful pain of bone connecting with flesh. [break][break]

Thud. Smack. Thwack.[break][break]

Over and over again. Fists collided with his face, mostly. [break][break]

He hadn’t even seen her coming. The rift into the Ultra Deep Sea had pulled him in without consent, flinging the professor into an alien realm overrun with ROCKET agents. This place was foreign to him; he’d been to the Border, to the Ultra Crater. But never here. [break][break]

P-please…” He choked out, begging for his life. Blood trickled down his chin. “S-stop..

don't you get it?

her knuckles hurt. pain blasts up the side of her arm. the gauze wrapped around her, cushioning her blows, is soaked through with blood. his face is a bloody mess. if she keeps going, if she keeps squinting, it'll be easier to think he's not a person at all. 

you stupid piece of shit, don't you get it?

he pleads up at her and she roars in frustration, knuckles squelching against the side of his cheek with enough force to send him to the ground. she releases her hold on the collar of his shirt and breathes haggardly down at him. 

it's either you or me.

a supervisor's cold glare settles on her. she goes in for a kick to his ribs. the look passes. 

and i'm always gonna pick me.

Gunner was trudging along a narrow path between bright coral and swaying anemone when he heard a sound that made his blood run cold.[break][break]

Cries for help. Cries to stop. The smack of flesh against flesh, against bone. What was worse, though, was that the pleading voice sounded far too familiar.[break][break]

It sounded like Gideon.[break][break]

His mind blank, Gunner's body moved of its own accord. He ran full-tilt toward the noise, his breathing overly loud in the mask that hid his face. His heart raced from sheer panic.[break][break]

Then it dropped into the black pit of his stomach when he arrived on the scene. None other than slumped on the ground as an agent of Team Rocket kicked him in his ribs.[break][break]

"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HIM!" Gunner screamed, the modulator in his mask distorting his voice into a hellish roar. A hand flew to his belt, ripping off a Pokéball to summon his Hisuian Typhlosion, Guinevere.[break][break]

A Pokémon that Gideon knew all too well.[break][break]

"KILL THEM," came the order. To Gunner, his voice seemed distant, remote, like it had not come from him but from somewhere outside his body.[break][break]

Guinevere stood to her full height and unleashed a LAVA PLUME at the Rocket. Gunner's vision filled with a reddish glare that did not fade.

It had been painful at first. Blood vessels broken, tissues swelling, ribs cracked. [break][break]

But now Gideon could only feel a pervasive numbness. [break][break]

He knew it was the adrenaline staving off the agony; an evolutionary boon allowing him time to fight or flee. His brain wasn’t really cooperating, though. There was a ringing in his ears and his eyesight was compromised - the left eye nearly swollen shut, figures blurred and fuzzy. Was that another person? A Pokémon?[break][break]

KILL THEM.
[break]

A desperate order. A familiar ring of flames. But when Gideon tried to look up from where he was slumped in the otherworldly muck, there was no recognition there.[break][break]

"Haah..." He groaned, trying to articulate speech but failing.

a lot of things happen at once. the small group of rocket she'd blundered into give a few shouts. they are attacked, quite literally, from all sides. the warfront had come to them and they get rolled up in the skirmish, and all she can do is stare down at this man in her hands and keep punching. 

because she doesn't know what the fuck else to do

she gasps over him, spittle at the corner of her lips, cheeks flushed. her hood is up, hiding her mess of pink hair, but she doesn't even have a fucking mask on. 

she'd tripped into the arceus-damned rift on her way to getting a bagel

heat flares on her cheeks and she looks up, drawn from her haze, the pounding in her ears. it's like the world snaps back around her. the blaziken stands before her, flames licking at his sides, his right leg still emblazoned from knifing the lava plumes through the middle.

the adrenaline kicks back in, muting the pain in her split knuckles. amulius stares down the typhlosion in front of him, looking slightly unsettled. she doesn't think anything of it. let them fight fire with fire. 

"handle it," she snarls at him. he bounces from foot to foot and then snaps forward with a fiery fist cocked. her cold gaze flickers down to the broken man on the ground, steel-toed boots pressing down on his hands.

can't risk him pulling out a pokemon while her attention's split.

The Blaziken lunged. Guinevere stood her ground and bellowed, spewing forth a thick SMOKESCREEN to fill the immediate area. Then she braced herself, prepared to take whatever blow came her way.[break][break]

Gunner memorized the position of each person and Pokémon in front of him in the blink of an eye, then dove into the smoke. Quick strides brought him to the hooded person — had they been a man or woman? — looming over Gideon.[break][break]

Keeping his body low to the ground, Gunner emerged from the smokescreen. He aimed to ram into them at the waist, hoping to use his momentum to shove them away from Gideon and pummel them bloody.[break][break]

It did not occur to Gunner, in his blind rage, that the Rocket grunt might have a knife or gun. The only thing on his mind was tearing his brother's attacker apart.

"Ah!" Boot to knuckles, blood sputtered out in misty droplets as Gideon yelped in alarm. He could feel the pressure of her heel on his hands, the way his tendons threatened to snap, bones grinding under rubber. Such awful, new sensations.[break][break]

"Help.." He breathed out, though it was so quiet the plea was likely lost in the din of the Pokémon battling around them. "Haa.. hel.. help.."[break][break]

Luckily for , the mystery combatant was doing just that. An inky SMOKESCREEN pervaded the surrounding area, giving him an opportunity to surge closer.[break][break]

If he was indeed able to dislodge the ROCKET grunt, Gideon would try and crawl away.

the yelping is lost to her. she doesn't hear it. doesn't hear his cries of pain or his pleas. you're not supposed to hear that. you can't hear that. she's too busy straining past it, trying to pick up sound 'cause her eyes are smarting from the smoke and her lungs are begging her to double over and start coughing. 

they're granted the doubling over part, at least. there's a whoof as the assailant rams right into parker's midsection, lifting her up and off of her victim. 

she responds in kind, swallowing the pain and telling her ribs, and by extension her lungs, to fucking chill while she takes care of business. he's going to take her down, with momentum like that, and she's ready. as soon as she hits the ground, she's gonna sock him right in his fucking face and bowl him over.

The pair landed on the ground with a satisfying thud. But then Gunner's vision exploded with stars as a fist connected with his head. He fell to the side, reeling.[break][break]

But he was trained in close quarters combat. He quickly recovered, drawing his arms up to shield himself in case the Rocket grunt attacked back. If they did, he would look for an opening to scramble back to his feet.[break][break]

Meanwhile, Gunner's Typhlosion rushed through the dispersing smoke toward Gideon. She nudged him with her snout, licking his bloody face in a gesture of comfort. However, she kept her ears pricked, listening for the enemy Blaziken in case he attacked.

The relief of release was short-lived. [break][break]

His hands now unfettered, Gideon tried his best to right himself and escape while the two strangers grappled desperately behind him. But, whether it was due to the shock or the pain, he couldn't muster the strength to immediately stand. [break][break]

"Proteus..." A shaky hand grasped for a capsule in his coat. "Come... here..." [break][break]

Through the smog, Gideon's SLOWKING appeared in a flash before him and... was clearly distressed by what he saw. Obvious concern lined the intelligent Pokémon's face as he waddled toward his trainer. The professor reached out and his SLOWKING grabbed hold, allowing himself to be used as a crutch as Gideon attempted to stand.[break][break]

"Away... we need to get away..."

well, she manages to get one hit off at least. there is the satisfying and familiar thwack of her bloodied fists on his jawbone. she was hoping to hear a crunch of some kind, but she landed all fucked up and he's way heavier than she thought. it's part of the reason why she's so slow to grab at him. 

she fumbles at empty air, cursing, and goes from crouch to standing. 

amulius knows parker can handle herself. his priority is ensuring whatever pokemon might come her way are intercepted. so through the smog, when he sees the telltale light of a pokeball opening, he comes in swinging.

parker squares off, both fists raised. "come on, motherfucker. let's dance."

The Rocket jumped to their feet too, but Gunner did not wait for them to attack back. He lunged, feinting a left jab at their head. As soon as they raised their arms to block, he stepped forward, right hand thrusting like a piston toward their solar plexus.[break][break]

As his fist connected, he transferred all of his weight into the strike. The Rocket gasped and staggered backward, doubling over.[break][break]

Gunner immediately followed up, grabbing his opponent's jacket and ramming his knee into their chest. A rib cracked. Then he shoved them back, hoping they'd hit the ground.[break][break]

Over by Gideon, Guinevere heard the Blaziken's swift approach. She reared back onto her hind legs, reaching her full height. The flames of her mane burning hotly, she unleashed Z-MOVE: NEVER-ENDING NIGHTMARE at the opposing Pokémon before it could reach the Slowbro.

There was no looking back now. He couldn't. Not if he wanted to escape with his life.[break][break]

Gideon hobbled forward, Proteus holding him up as much as he could. Sounds of battle - both human and Pokémon alike - goaded Gideon to glance over his shoulder, to put eyes on any incoming danger. But he resisted the urge. I just need to get the fuck away from this hellish place.[break][break]

He repeated this over and over in his head with each agonizing step.[break][break]

Surprisingly, it seemed that luck was finally on his side. In the moments after 's TYPHLOSION unleashed her Z-Move to take down the enemy BLAZIKEN, the swirling dream mist that had edged around the battlefield began to take on a more solid form. Roaring out from on high came a draconic figure with bright red wings, spewing flames at the opposing Pokémon.[break][break]

Only momentarily dazed by the reveal, used this distraction to make his escape - unfortunately for him, however, he was simply venturing deeper into the Ultra Deep Sea.

too bad for amulius. out of the cover of smoke crawl nightmares that bleed over his feathers. he startles, skidding to a halt after his swinging leg goes wide. instead of finding purchase on a slowking, his attack ripples through ethereal flesh and finds no purchase. 

the pressure mounts in his skull and he claws at his face, stumbling back and away from the nightmares with a cry. the pressure builds until suddenly it's there no longer; in its place is a monster of unfathomable size. 

parker staggers back, arms wheeling from the force, but she grits her teeth and shoves her head down. center of gravity righted, bouncing on her toes, she grins wildly through the shrapnel pain in her midsection. 

"you hit like a bitch," she chokes out, and is about to follow up with a taunt when something that absolutely does not hit like a bitch slams into the ground beside them. the monstrosity opens its maw with a glint and parker startles, glancing wildly at her opponent, and then past him where amulius stands, looking wild-eyed at the beast himself. 

"what the fuck is that thing? is that yours?" her hands reach for two more pokeballs.

The enormous, draconic Pokémon immediately captured the attention of both Gunner and his Typhlosion. With a tremendous roar, it unleashed a DRAGON BREATH that swept the entire area, heedless of friend or foe. Gunner dashed away, Guinevere at his heels.[break][break]

Once out of reach of the strange Pokémon's blast, the agent looked around, pale eyes seeking his brother. But was nowhere to be seen.[break][break]

Ice cold fear seized Gunner, throwing him into outright panic. "Gideon!" he shouted. No one answered.[break][break]

The Rocket operative and their Blaziken were far away now, on the other side of the mysterious creature. The thought of leaving them alive irritated Gunner, but Gideon's health and safety were more important. Let Team Rocket deal with the sudden monster.[break][break]

Without a backward glance, the man and his Typhlosion disappeared into the mist.
