He ignored , Hopper floating menacingly as well. She speaks, but his eyes are trained on the grunt doing their best as bargaining. They're ready to act on that threat, especially after how brutally they had dispatched the enemy Abomasnow. The Porygon's attention moves between the Abomasnow and the grunt, until the dual type fell, trying to take care of it's own wound with bursts of ice and cold. Paxton's glare doesn't waver, same as his words. [break][break]

"Wrong answer." he says with finality as the Porygon began to glow bright ready to lift the grunt into the air and apply pressure. "If you'd talked instead of wasting our time, you wouldn't have stayed a threat." he said, standing up straighter. "You don't know what you're doing, do you?" Not that it mattered. Daring to don the red R was enough. Much like those during METENO and POSTDORM and RESURFACED TREASURES, every single one of them knowingly sided with Rocket. They risked their lives for Rocket. And he wouldn't hesitate to end them, just like before. Just like always. [break][break]

Being so blatant of an attack on them was more than enough. As the air is filled with the sound of innocents crunching and screaming and dying, he turns to set his sights on any others, dark eyes scanning for his next attempt. Hopper's PSYCHIC is brutal putting trainer and pokemon together before focusing on crushing them both against the ground to put and end to them quickly. Paxton sees the wave attacking the stage and goes to move, but the throng of people is just too much. If he wasn't careful, he'd suffer the same fate as the wheezing corpses on the ground. [break][break]

He looks around again, frantically. There's no way to move bodies, no way to move quickly. "Hopper!" The normal type TELEPORTs with a flash. "Intercept attacks before they onto others." he ordered, pushing forward with whatever he could. One dead grunt didn't mean anything to him when there was still work to be done. Maybe someone else here had the answers they needed. For now he'd trust and to handle it, as he and Hopper looked for other fighters to assist instead. [break][break]

"Your continued presence is the reason the citizens remain endangered," Kyrenai adds without missing a beat.

"Would you rather they die because you prefer a warrior's death? Does your pride bereft you of such common logic-" she pauses deliberately, getting under his skin for the sake of it before adding the proper credentials."sir, that we endanger them more so you may save face?"

On the tip of her tongue lay unspoken words.

By all means go play and die, see if I care.

"Crux!" The Hydreigon lowers itself like a canonball until it is mere inches away from the ground, and doesn't even hesitate when it twists and erupts in a fully powered Hyper Beam at the three incoming Rockets. He wanted them dead in spite of potential casualties? Then she would act accordingly as to show him the error of his ways.

What's a casualty more in the face of irking this man?

"You are mayor before you are soldier now, sir. We deal with them once you and the councilwoman are out of our way. Now choose."

There was no choice, really. might be civil, but Kyrenai? She could care less.

"Or we choose for you."


tNAdyT_8

Tldr;
- Throwing arguments and taunts at the mayor hoping he backs down
- Hydreigon uses Hyper Beam on the three rockets (hoping for a better shot since bird's eye view before attack)
- Very much threatening the mayor, WILL probably knock him out if necessary

Before she could comprehend, the Machoke dashed forward. It took Annalise by the arm and pulled her violently backward. It looked ready to throw her a dozen yards, until it saw Matchstick ready to swoop in for the kill. Then, she turned into a shield and June’s heart sank into her shoes. Her mouth opened to command Matchstick.

But the bird was quick to think as well as to act. Her wing whipped dangerously past Annalise’s golden hair, and sent a few wayward strands into the sudden vacuum behind it. She remained alive, if only by the whim of the bird. Thank Arceus.

It was bad enough being inadvertently responsible for the ranger’s injuries. She’d die if she seriously maimed her on her own terms.

But the situation remained dire. A bandaid to the wound that bled like a river– okay, not the metaphor for the moment. Instead, June quickly fished out her revolver and pointed it straight at the grunt responsible for the Machoke. Her barrel shook.

No. She couldn’t. Its barrel sank downward, and a Poke ball emerged. One to recall the vicous Talonflame, and another to send out a ghostly apparition. Dragapult, who narrowed its eyes and took in the situation in mere moments. “Help Annalise, Ghosty!”

“Please!” her voice cracked. Even if her firearm remained cold, the Dragapult wouldn't. Its young, two Dreepy, exploded from the nooks they cowered in with a blinding flash. One went straight for the Machoke, its ghostly body phasing through Annalise’s shoulder to strike the Machoke physically. The perfect bullet.

The other went for the grunt, ready to punch a hole in his side for the mere thought of hurting Annalise. June fingered the Hisuain ball on her side, unsure on what to do. It would solve the problem, but at a steep price.

“Let her go!” The hammer cocked back, and it swayed with the winds. Was this how felt all that time ago? Afraid, terrified, yet determined? Forced by an outside force to do the unthinkable? A pit formed in her stomach, and threatened to bring her to her knees. Anything for Annalise. Anything.

Tl;dr
 - Barely doesn't murder Annalise (was ever going to dw space I WOULDN'T DO THAT IT WAS A BIT, A JEST, A JAPE EVEN)
 - Recalls Matchstick, Sends out a Dragapult
 - It Dragon Darts, one going to the Machoke through Annalise and the other going straight for the grunt
 - Considers sending out Regieleki, but decides to not commit public social suicide
 - Demands Annalise be released

Even with all that the trainers were throwing at them, still Rocket didn't relent on their attack. 's and Noel's combined might didn't deter the Gengar from spreading its misfortune. Much worse however, was the poison spreading within his body. A feeling he easily remembered during his "stay" at the Megalopolan prison. While not as potent as back then, he could feel himself losing strength slowly. [break][break]

But this wouldn't be enough to contain his rage. His Hisuian Goodra continued its offense. The air freezing around their small battle, until ice shards formed, suspended in the air. A Blizzard that hoped to stop the Gengar in its tracks, all while Noel rushed forward. There was one sure way to end a monster, and that was to take its head. Making a beeline towards the Rocket member, he'd attempt to tackle the enemy and pummel him with his fists, until he was either surrendered or could no longer speak.

Pokémon Black & White - Gym Leader Last Pokemon Music (HQ)


THE ATTACK


Here, every decision held an opportunity and an equal consequence. Whether it be the gathering of intel, or the defending of those most important, risks were made, and victims were sacrificed.

[break][break]



Pressed between the psychic pressure of indecision, the grunt fell flat, his body deflated of life. Blood was the only piece of him still left with movement. It pooled at their feet, growing like a ravenous whirlpool. To his side, the Abomasnow laid. Its body still maintained form, less confined by the influence of the porygon's attack. If examined, like discovering a sprout clawing out from a block of cement, one might notice the small twitch of the foot.
[break][break]

Around the entrance of their hideaway, chaos continued to boil over. There was no telling between the injured and the lost, but one thing was for certain: the people were suffering.
[break][break]

This reality was further cemented by what and would notice next.
[break][break]

Positioned near the outer edge of the licking flames, a small girl laid. Sewn into the gravel, her body was oil against the world's water. So pristinely kept, with her legs twisted, snapped into pieces, and her eyes staring up toward them, emptied and wide, like a pair of saucers begging to be filled once again.
[break][break]


Upon further approach of this girl, and would find themselves feeling UNSETTLED.
[break][break]

THANKS TO PAXTON EXPERIENCE AS A VETEREN: intuition tugs at you. You've seen dead bodies before, but for whatever reason, this one feels different.
[break][break]

THANKS TO YUINA'S EXPERIENCE AS A HISTORIAN: You don't understand why, or how, but something about this girl feels familiar to you.
[break][break]


[break][break]


"Just wait and see," The grunt grinned. But before he could push forward, his next moves were reduced to ice. Blizzard rang true from the left, bulldozing both himself and his Gengar long enough for ICE PUNCH to land next, hitting the Pokémon square across the face.
[break][break]
"Thank Arceus," an older man exclaimed, a couple of feet behind, his hand clutched onto the back of a stray chair. Between his notable satisfaction and his wobbling legs, it was obvious he never intended to escape. Without assistance, his legs would've given out far before the fire could ever reach him, and with toxic spikes covering their surroundings, danger lurked around every possible misstep shadowing his decision. "Thank you, you two. "
[break][break]

"Can't even begin to imagine what would've happen had you two not been here," His lips curl into an anxious smile, "what a scary thought indeed."
[break][break]

[break][break]



The wave crash not only disabled the Ceruledge, it sent him dragging backwards with one sword plunged into the ground. The sound of steel clashing against rock created an eerie wail with every additional step sent backward. Eventually, it settled, with the knight's body collapsed, and the stench of iron stretching from 's back.
[break][break]

Like long tendrils, they expanded, grasping at his collar, clawing into his skin. Seconds spent fighting meant years robbed by the starving chaos. It didn't matter how gracious his defense was; the helpless would never know of their hero. Their thoughts were chained to the damned.[break][break] And in that way, 's mind might find itself in agreeance, since if he were to follow the wretched stench calling his name, he'd come to bare witness to the extent of the damage.
[break][break]
The blood, the piling debris of damaged road and building alike, a single doll discarded between two chairs. And then, at the apex of this terrible reality, there was The League's flag waving above the stage. Tattered by flames, the emblem of peace was barely kept together. One less thread and its structure would be ultimately compromised.
[break][break]




's resilience was swiftly rewarded, as Grimmsnarl's SPIRIT BREAK took down an incoming group of grunts looking to seize the stage. With one hook of his right fist, the flexed power was strong enough to send them spiraling back into the alleyway they were spawning from.
[break][break]

But, where there victories, there are further pitfalls to be aware of.
[break][break]

For the Young Idol, it would be a young teenage boy, surrounded by an encirclement of flames. The closer she'd look, the more details would come to life, painting the tale of a fan who came prepared, wearing the same outfit 's took to stage time and time again, back when the world carried more sense.





Today, brains fought against brawns, as PSYCHIC continued to pry the Machamp's grip away from his hard-earned prize.
[break][break]
It wasn't an easy battle - every additional finger held its own landscape of war. Victories traced the Pokemon's flexed biceps. He was a warrior, through and through, and the grunt wanted to make sure was aware of that fact until her last shaky breath.
[break][break]
It wasn't until a DRAGON DART stuck him in the lower back that the beast's fingers finally loosened.
[break][break]
Freedom was now within reach.
[break][break]
"Fuck," the grunt yelped, barely dodging his own piece of the cake. "Nice going - you let her go!"
[break][break]
But it didn't matter anymore. None of it did.
[break][break]



The derision and threats didn't amount to much persuasion. The mayor was as stubborn as he was endangered. He shook his head, a pair of hardened eyes staring back at his so-called protectors. Running away was against his very nature. They knew that, he knew that, and unless one of them were prepared to knock him out, soon Rocket would know of it.
[break][break]
"Please," the councilwoman laid a hand at the mayor's shoulder, her expression an uncharacteristic plea. The action alone forced the man to plant a pause. "Listen to them, Jeremiah. You know they're right. "
[break][break]
But it didn't matter at the end. Because while the Mayor's expression eventually twisted, and his legs began to yield, time marched onwards, unrelentingly, inevitably.
[break][break]
Another explosion slammed into the foot of their dispute. With a defeating roar, it painted the world white, blinding and disorientating anyone within its extended reach. A shockwave followed the initial bite of pressure, further cementing the impact of its entrance, as the group of four were forced backwards, like a uprooted tree taking a fall.
[break][break]
Around the stage, shattered amplifiers and twisted speakers were embedded into the terrain. The air filled with the acrid scent of burning electronics. It blended deeply into the smoke, creating a concoction of poisons for the lungs.
[break][break]
With a sharp cough marking his entrance, a singular figure approached, cutting through the rubble. He wasn't like the rest of the grunts; his appearance was that of a neatly cut gem. Chiseled and stern, his face bore the marks of years of dedication. He was a man of stature, tall and imposing, with broad shoulders pushing against the fabric of his black shirt.
[break][break]
"Fall back. Our objective has been achieved. No need to stay longer than necessary right now."
[break][break]
Any camera, or peering eye, would understand the truth behind his words.
[break][break]
This wouldn't be the end.

It's a different kind of horror what's happening before them. Mangled in unnatural way, and definitely long gone was small girl crushed into the pavement. Harsh as he'd been only movements ago, he faltered for a moment and took a shaky breath as memories of childhood, of his own younger sister, surfaced. Hopper beeps, lowering themselves to orbit around Paxton and keeping ready to defend him and from further attack. [break][break]

That's enough to redouble his efforts, to steel himself like the very pokemon he loved. As his blood ran cold, so too did his expression become. Shocked eyes returning to that set glare. His thoughts shift as gears turn in his brain and he began to analyze. There's something strange here, beyond the horror and the loss of innocence. For a moment, the chaos of the address rings muffled in his ears and he took a glance aorund at those of his comrades still fighting, still helping. His eyes linger over the Rockets, so blatant in their terrorism. "There's something wrong with this corpse." he announced to the ranger still in his vicinity. "I'm moving in, before something else happens and she gets covered up." [break][break]

He moves back to the body, muttering to himself as he attempted to look over the cadaver. He's quick to begin to move rubble, dogged in his need to investigate. He can't quite put his finger on why. His musings as interrupted by the shift in action. Hopper alerts him, but Paxton's already watching them move around. "Don't allow them to disengage, assist the others from afar." he said. Much like it's owner, the Porygon set up above and began the counterattack. Hopper coalesced elemental energy shooting blasts at Rockets that attempted to leave. It they were lucky, TRI-ATTACK would paralyze or freeze the escaping criminals. If not, they'd just burn.

The sudden explosion threw Gunner off his feet, knocking him onto the hard ground. For a moment, he saw only darkness and heard only a high-pitched ringing. The dark silhouette of an older man swam into his clearing vision. Any words, however, came through muffled, as if he were hearing them from deep underwater. [break][break]

Still, he knew an enemy when he saw one. Rising despite the aches across his body, he recalled his Ditto and released a different Pokémon: his Claydol. [break][break]

"Tom," Gunner wheezed. His own voice sounded so distant, he wasn't sure if he was actually speaking. "Stop that man from leaving." [break][break]

The Pokémon's eyes flashed with psychic energy. An IMPRISON wrapped around the stranger. [break][break]

Her heartbeat had not been let to falter with the victories sprawled from the Grimmsnarl’s crackling of its fist; though it was satisfying to see the grunts whip backward and meet the fate she ultimately believed they deserved, nothing could compare to existing in a thicket of vitriol and wild flames. A lone tear crept down her cheek at the sight, but in the end, nothing could compare to the feelings that blossomed in her chest at what rested behind her shoulder.[break][break]

Desiree always felt her emotions quite deeply, fractals of brilliant diamonds cutting through the stems and stamens of the love that was born on the inside. “The wildfire.. The flames,” her voice began to hyperventilate, gaze bouncing back and forth between those who occupied the stage and the lone boy in the unmistakable attire, “.. Their petals can be ripped out another day.. please..”[break][break]

She wished not to provide the members of Team Rocket the ability to escape; they did not deserve to bring so much havoc to the world, only to retreat into their dark, slimy corners. But she wished not to let yet another one of her fans succumb to the forces of another wretched regime. With the things the Megalopolans did to a few of her listeners, the depriving of ear, face, and soul.. She could not bear to allow even the thought to prevail.[break][break]

“Grimmsnarl, m- my love..” she coughed, pointing in the direction of the boy, “.. go.”[break][break]

Upon its back, she did not catch on to the LIGHT SCREEN it quickly manifested with the flick of its hairy wrist before their departure. Though its feelings resonated with its trainer, it wished to protect those upon the stage from those it wished to make its meal. A meal that would have to wait until the innocent soul was secured.[break][break]

The mega evolved fairy charged as quickly as it could toward the boy, so quickly, that Desiree neared falling off its back time and time again. She wished to share reassurances to no avail, too— but with a stubborn cough of anxiety and panic, she could share nothing more than wheezes and labored breaths.[break][break]

“Free..” She coughed, feeling the flames creep up the back of the beast as they entered. Rather recklessly, as the flames singed the Grimmsnarl, too, it attempted to pick up the boy and hoist it onto its back. The mayor, and everyone else, surely had more of a chance in defending themselves in comparison to the helpless.[break][break]

Hey, they did it! The Ceruledge, despite fighting tooth and nail against him, fell like all the rest into a limp shape of smoldering black and blue. Beau still watched the heap warily, tails swishing in aggravation, but Eddie felt a modicum of relief. He had helped beat the bad guys; he had helped save the day, right? [break][break]

Then why did it feel like Eddie's heart was sinking to the pit of his stomach? [break][break]

His eyes watered from the smoke that billowed around him and at the smell of something wretched. Kurokami must have noticed it too, though she seemed far less affected by it as she tilted her head toward its source. Eddie followed her gaze, and all the world around him faded into nothing at the sight laid before him. [break][break]

One trembling step, then another, and another, carried him to that monument of horror. Blood, so much fucking blood, and rubble and debris and that fucking smell, that goddamn stench. It coated the shattered concrete and twisted rebar and - [break][break]

A doll. Eddie reached for it without knowing why and held it like it could shatter at the slightest provocation. He stared at it, numbly, until he turned his gaze back to the pile. To the source of that smell, like iron. Like blood. [break][break]

Like death. [break][break]

Like death. [break][break]

Like death, like death, like death, like death like death like death like death like death like death like death like death like death like dea [break][break]

The League's flag waved proudly to its mourning son as the assailing grunts fled the scene. The Kleavor moved to do what her trainer could not, lurching toward a fleeing Rocket with a vicious SLASH. [break][break]

Eddie didn't notice. Eddie didn't care. He had already failed the innocents lost on this nightmare-ish day. What else could he do but stand there, stupefied by his grief?[break][break]

Yuina was firm in her stance, she meant to draw information from the grunt but had no intention on hurting them. It wasn't up to her what may come of them, she wasn't in line to decide someone's fate... But all at once, the decision was made for her... And she watched the light leave the grunt's eyes as blood marred her hands.[break]
She wasn't the one that drew the blood, but she was as much responsible for the now still body that laid at their feet... And she seethed. Paxton unabashedly called for the grunt's death, no, his murder, and didn't give it a second thought. Was that what she was supposed to become? Is that the road that they all walked? To take the lives of those around them into their own hands without question, and yet they called rockets ruthless and blood thirsty just the same. They were okay with murder, they were all too pleased to abandon their ideals when it benefited them, all of them that were on that ship and chose to strike...[break][break]
And what's worse, he didn't care. Leaving both the body and the Abomasnow without so much as a second thought, a second glance... If this was what the league wanted her to be, what she was expected to be capable of, then she would be well on her way to the path of staining her hands with the blood of her future... She wouldn't do it.[break][break]
Paxton stepped away, there was something else that caught his attention, but Yuina looked down to the body at her feet first, tears painful at the corners of her eyes. Death... Death was different when it happened up close, when it happened right in front of her, and she could have stopped it, she could have said something... Or she should have just let the grunt be, and worked to save the civilians. Was this punishment for her choice? Was his death truly her fault?[break][break]
Quickly Yuina leaned down, and bid Kloa close with the Zoroark's claws. She removed the grunt's mask, an attempt to see his face, and Kloa slashed at the black shirt he wore. Yuina ripped the shirt up, tearing through the fabric and tearing the R emblem out of the uniform and set the mask and the R ablaze with a small Will O wisp. And then she ran, to leave the body be, leaving him behind to find Paxton.[break][break]
"Kloa, get as many to safety as you can," Yuina stammered, eyes bleary with hot tears, but she had to do something more... And the Zoroark began to use Phantom Force to bring people out of danger and off to the side, working to clear some space.[break]
Another body caught Paxton's attention, one of... a young girl... But everything seemed amiss, especially as Paxton spoke up of the condition...[break]
"What? What do you mean it's wrong? She... she...," Yuina tried to say, she could hardly form a right sentence, she could barely look at him now with how much disdain she held... Instead she tried to look at the girl, a likely product of her decision, of their decision, to disengage from the civilians... But... Something felt... Did Yuina know her?

With their forces dwindling, the remaining grunts move to retreat. As much as Noel would hate to see them leave after causing so much chaos, there were other matters to attend to. A lone old man surrounded by so much grief, it was a miracle he was still alive. He orders his Hisuian Goodra to sweep away the toxic debris with its Iron Tail. With the way cleared, he rushes to the citizen's side, aiding him in whatever way he can.[break][break][break]

"You're not hurt are you? Here, let me help you."[break][break]

A cough erupts from Noel's mouth, his body had begun to fatigue from the poison seeping through his veins. If he wasn't careful, he'd end up like so many today. This was no time to worry about himself however, the people still struggled to find solace in the midst of this local war.[break][break]

His attention then turns to , awkward as it may be for him to ask for her assistance after everything he said and did, now wasn't the time for personal squabbles.[break][break]

"Elise! Back me up while I get him to safety. I'm going to try and help out as many people as I can before Rocket can do any more harm."

June’s hand left the ball. No. It’d be comedically stupid to bring it out. Especially after the Dragon Darts did the job. Machoke let go, and Annalise stumbled out of its grip. Annalise was quick to rush forward, only outsped by Ghosty.

With the ranger freed, he was freely able to throw his entire ghostly body at the fighter. The fighting type flew backward and crumpled tables beneath its weight from the Double Edge. The dragon roared after it, a show of domination and warning.

Do not try again.

“Anna, you good? You hurt?” June inspected her arms where the Machoke's muscular fingers dug into her skin. It left red marks, but… nothing looked broken. Bruised, but bruises went away in time. Limbs and lives were much more costly. For that, she sighed in relief. “Thank Arceus. We need to–”

To what? Just as fast as it had started, so too did it end. The grunt that initially harassed them soon turned tail and ran, alongside the rest of the cast. Pokémon were either withdrawn or utilized to ensure a safe escape. Screams of the panicked, hurt, or both sounded strong, but the threat made their way out of the venue.

What happened? What was the point of this all? Nothing made any sense, and she had a gut feeling that it wouldn’t for a long time. All that could be gleaned was how utterly inept the League was. This never should’ve happened. Not at something like this. Even she knew that.

“Annalise…” her voice trailed off. What now?

“Anna!”

Tl;dr
 - Dragapult BODIES the Machoke away from Anna and screams at it
 - June inspects Annalise to make sure she isn't actually dying or something
 - Doesn't know what is going on while the grunts make their exit, and isn't sure she will
 - But the League is stupid for letting this happen
 - Calls Annalise's name as she does whatever she is going to do

the machamp's grip finally loosens enough for her to twist her arm free. she stumbles away, back toward , and feels the air next to her stir as the other girl's dragapult launches itself at the fighting-type. her thoughts race as she looks down at the reddened skin where the machamp had held her. she scarcely hears june's concern over the thumping of her own heartbeat in her ears, but she manages an answer: [break][break]"no — i'm fine."[break][break]the rocket's complaints center her attention, each syllable fuel for this pyre of injustice. his first mistake had been grabbing her. his second had been letting her go. her jaw sets.[break][break]"stop them."[break][break]june is calling her name, but it sounds as faraway as the explosion that rocks the venue's stage. her meowstic's psychic powers reach out with its own bruising grasp, seeking to slam the grunt into the ground before he can make his escape.[break][break]

The explosion leaves the assassin struggling to stay on her feet as she braces against the impact. The moment the smoke circles towards her she pulls out a piece of cloth from around her neck, covering her mouth while handing another. There's enough time to do a quick headcount and make out no wounded are among the party of four.

And then her focus turns on the Rocket that has joined them through the smoke, a tall figure ordering its minions to retreat.

Objective achieved.

longer than necessary... right now.

They'll do this again. Had it not been obvious before, it was crystal clear the moment those words left the man's mouth.

For any and many a reason those present could not be left to retreat. Keep them from leaving the building through whichever means necessary.

Switching her Hydreigon out for a more keen-eyed sharpshooter, her Decidueye Hana entered the stage among smoke and debris, its feathers ready and loaded. "Aim for their legs and shadows, don't let them get away!" Kyrenai hisses through her mask, leaving her Decidueye to hinder their retreat--- and in particular, the supposed leader of this attack.

JjmynsQo

Tldr;
- Switches out Hydreigon for Decidueye
- Decidueye uses Spirit Shackle to help keep the Rocket leader from fleeing
