"Scorch the lands before us! Burn all who oppose Rocket!", bellowed the Mad Dog.

Smoochie Duckie and Mister Burns worked as a team, the Charizard cutting down any trees and foliage he could with his Dragon Claws, creating kindling for the fire. The Magmortar ignited the cut down trees and plants with a well-placed Flamethrower, jumpstarting the Fires of Petalburg.

Manic laughter filled the air, as Dorian witnessed the fire start. In his grasp was a hammer, a 'human' take on ones built by the likes of Tinkaton.

"Show no mercy!", howled the Mad Dog, as Kanto Rockets under his command began to join in, adding fuel to the fire, and attacking anyone who got in their way.

It had been far too long, since Dorian got to fight a proper war. The closest he got to facing one was when he attempted to stall the League's efforts at activating the Primal Point at Mt. Pyre. Despite his objections to hindering their efforts to save the world, he obeyed orders, like a good Rocket.

This time, there was no hesitation. No need to mask his face.

PETALBURG, ft. dorian westcliff

[player]https://file.garden/ZeX_8xo9KEiz9dtz/Doug%20image%20repository/mp3%20files/Green_Veteran.mp3[/player]
An invasion on Petalburg— on the mainland.

Who the hell had authorized such a nonsensical operation?

The whole thing felt off.

As he rushed to the frontline, his feet kicking at the pedals of his bike, the creeping fear snaked its way around the back of his consciousness, telling him things were not normal.

Rocket did not have have the manpower to both invade Mossdeep, defend Sootopolis, and also attempt a boots on the ground operation in Petalburg.

They lacked the means of maintaining their hold on a city surrounded from all sides even if they somehow succeeded on some reckless surprise attack.

This whole thing was a military impossibility.

Unless...

Unless...!

He clamped down on the bike's breaks as a massive tree suddenly came tumbling into his path.

For a while now, a fire had been beginning to race through the woods— it appeared it was closing in around the main roads.

There was no mistaking the source— a mad dog was howling loud enough for the whole of Petalburg to know.

"I just keep bein' reminded of my failures." The youth thought darkly as his eyes were drawn towards the sound, jaw clenching.

Too many times, he had let that man get away. He had healed the man, even.

His eyes fleeted down to the bike beenath him, a deep breath following before he climbed off, letting it drop to the ground.

angelo vestri's gift had served him well— but he couldn't protect it here. He could only hope it would not become lost in what came next.

His digits fleeted over the holster beneath his pit as he marched forth, hopping atop the toppled tree to find the mad dog... before his hand slowly slid off, leaving it in place.

"Are you out of your damn mind?" He spoke up over the flames, against his better judgement.

There really was no point in trying to reason with the former beast.

Dorian turned to face a familiar voice. The Kanto Rockets backing him up began to surround the Avatar, knives drawn.

"Leave him to me! This one's mine!", Dorian barked out to the grunts. "Make sure the fire spreads!", Dorian ordered the group.

The Charizard and Magmortar both turned to face the Lieutenant Colonel. As expected, the Magmortar looked at the young man with familiar, hateful eyes. Oddly enough, the Charizard didn't seem to remember the boy, despite Dorian having arrived on one during their last bout.

"I'm gonna dissect you, and rip out your organs repeatedly!", yoweled Dorian, as he pointed the hammer at the soldier.

The Magmortar raised his arms, clearing the skies of clouds, and ushering in a Sunny Day. The Charizard slammed his tail in the ground, causing a Rock Slide of debris to come hurdling towards Doug.

The soldier appeared eerily unconcerned about the several men surrounding him, his eyes fleeting briefly over them before moving towards the pokemon causing the flames, assessing them silently.

Then, he took in a deep breath, eyes on turning to the sky.

It was a beautiful, sunny day.

Hundreds of thousands of people were in need of a medical assistance.

Yuina Higashi had a new exhibition going on.

All that, and yet here he was.

About to fight to the death with a bunch of faceless thugs and a arsonist psychopath

"We could all be reading a nice book right now." He said softly as a rock slide came crashing around him, the tree beneath his feet cracking and collapsing as massive boulders speared through it.

As they neared him, however, light seemed to refract before him. Thin strands of silvery thread suddenly became visible before him as the boulders were caught in...

Near Imperceptible webbing.

A skittering cackle filled the air as a Spidops crawled around the colonel.

"How many times have we done this, Mad dog?" He asked, jaw tensing as he reached for his neck, popping it as he hopped of what barely remained of the tree, stepping on unseen threads as he descended.

"Do I have to just let'cha melt yer own face off this time?" He said, tiredly, mouth set on a flat line.

Dorian chuckled, as the boy spoke. His bloodthirsty, cheerful expression didn't even falter, despite the debris being caught up in the webbing set up.

"As many times as it takes for one of us to die!", Dorian answered the young soldier. "Now, as annoying as you are, you are very hard to kill. Between all that training you got, and your blessing from Tapu Lele, you might as well be immortal.", Dorian mused.

"Problem is, you, like most of the League, don't have the guts to do what's necessary. You're too caught up in your image, or your asinine morality, to act like real rulers! That is why we took Kanto! That is why we'll take Hoenn! Johto! The world!", Dorian added.

"Smoochie, burn the webbing!", Dorian ordered.

The Magmortar began to blast at the webbing with his Flamethrower. Meanwhile, the Charizard took to the skies, attempting to hype himself up with a Dragon Dance.

"I might not be able to kill you myself. But I assure you, until your Patron abandons you, as it abandoned all their past partners, you will know what a fate worse than death is!", Dorian bellowed at Doug. A hand was positioned at his belt, ready to deploy his next fighter at a moment's notice.

His gaze was drawn back to the infinite sky— almost as vast as the hateful ignorance of the man before him. He could feel his blood pressure rising every time Dorian opened his mouth.

Worse than a waste of time, talking to the man may as well have been actively harmful to him.

"I don't know why I bother. " He said, before snapping into focus, eyes sharp and unblinking as fire roared towards him, his arm sweeping through the air. "Fine! We'll play your stupid game."

A macabre snicker left his Spidops lips as it suddenly leapt back, a shadow lunging behind the trunk in the air. Spindly, long legs twitched erratically as a massive arachnid took to the front, the sun glittering off its water bubble as its limbs suddenly snapped around its own head.

Plucking at the water bubble, it suddenly grew to massive size as its arms spread wide, creating a gargantuan, perfectly round mass of water.

The Spidops suddenly leapt onto the larger spider, plucking its jaws inside the water ball and releasing a mass of Acid spray as the Araquanid dropped the sphere in the blazes path.

Upon contact with the ground, it exploded outwards into a torrent, flooding the surrounding area.

Raising his gaze towards the Charizard above, Doug suddenly snapped his hand forward, blasting scales towards it.

"Get down here, lizard."

TL;DR:
-Araquanid used entrainment.
-Spidops used Acid Spray.
-Doug used his scales to curse.

The boy was clever, he had to give him that. Giving that annoying Spidops Water Bubble, to negate its weakness to Fire was a good play.

Dorian did his best to move out of the path of the Acid Spray. In the meantime, he brought out his corrupted Armarouge, Count Paddington the Second. In the process, acid got onto his suit jacket. The Executive scrambled to remove it, before it could burn through his skin.

By the time Dorian was done, he had stripped down to a sleeveless undershirt, revealing his impressive musculature to the boy. As well as the minor burn marks left by the Acid Spray. Though stripping spared him the worst of it, it still made him angry.

And extremely hateful.

"Those were designer!", Dorian barked. "But don't worry, your organs will make up for it!"

The Shadow Armarouge unleashed a Shadow Storm, aimed towards both of Doug's Pokemon. In conjunction, the Magmortar fired his cannons into the sky, raining down a Lava Plume onto the field. Though the Water Bubbles spared them both the worst of it, the Armarouge in particular benefitted from it, absorbing the fires into himself.

Mister Burns cried out as the accursed scales began to work their magic. He could feel himself getting weaker, as if being overhealed by the scales.

In a moment of spite, the flying lizard came down. Dropping down from the sky, in an attempt to Body Slam the young soldier with all his might.

"Designed by who? Entropy?" He almost bit his tongue.

That was a shit joke. It was hard for him to think of anything really funny in the presence of Dorian Westcliff. It was hard to even feel like himself, really.

Loathe as he was to admit it, he wasn't immune to hate.

His eyes shifted from one pokemon to the other quickly.

"Just do as always, lads." He said as he slid his hand over a glove, tugging it into place as he raised his hand, a tera orb in place.

A dark chuckle rumbled through the Spidops' torax as it leapt forth before both storm and raining fire, its many appendages spreading wide and jetting out thick, branching webbing all about from within the water bubble.

A large wall of intricate webs spread before them, sealing together into an intricate pattern as the tera orb came crashing into the spider's head.

A poisonous crown found its way unto the Spidops' head as it clung to its web-barrier, toxic sludge pouring into the water bubble and soon spreading down to the webbing the storm and blazes came crashing against it.

With nimble, spindly limbs, Araquanid leapt atop the toxic water bubble of the Spidops, fleeting over it as if ice skating, its eyes flashing as it stared down the shadow Armarouge.

Immediately, it would feel its strength being sapped— no, split.

Doug made no effort to dodge the Charizard.

The flying lizard came down painfully upon the soldier, tearing through nearly invisible webbing and the wooden trunk beneath him to bury them both down.

Within that hole, however, it would feel a hand move to clamp around its long neck.

"You know what? That's on me."

Scales flowed freely as the colonel's arms and knees moved to try and seal around its neck and shoulders in a lying headlock.

"I did say get down."

TL;DR:
-Spidops was Tera'd to poison.
-Spidops used Silk trap.
-Araquanid used power split on Shadow-Armarouge.
-Doug used even more scales Charizard, since it came so close.

"A Tera Orb? It won't save you!", Dorian jeered.

Dorian watched as the annoying Spidops shifted into a Poison-type. It then began forming a Silk Trap, in an attempt to block attacks.

Much to Count Paddington's shock, he felt his strength being split with the Araquanid.

"Smoochie, cover!", Dorian called out.

Rather than take the bait, the Magmortar began pouring smoke out of his cannons, adding to the already poor visibility. Dorian then recalled his Shadow Armarouge, instead opting to switch him for his Gouging Fire.

Meanwhile, the Charizard's satisfaction in Body Slamming the young soldier turned to horror, as more scales began to wear him down.

As his two Pokemon held the arachnids off, Dorian made his way closer to Doug and his Charizard. He saw the boy grab onto the flying lizard with his scales. Things were not looking good.

But if there was one thing Dorian was good for, it was pressing on, even in the face of insurmountable odds.

"You wanna play games, boy? I can play games!", Dorian remarked, as he raised his Keystone. Resonating with the Mega Stone on the Charizard, the lizard's form shifted under a cocoon, until a blackened beast emerged. Blue flames poured violently from the sides of his maw.

And in his strengthened state, the Mega Charizard attempted to hack the soldier to bits with his Dragon Claw.

"Don't need saving." He grunted, limbs still wrapped around the Charizard's neck.

Unable to see what was going on from within the smokescreen, the two spiders leapt unto the vast webbing the Spidops had created, one utilizing Spider's Web to amplify its reach and prevent any further escapes while the other hid amongst the trees, awaiting to strike.

For his part, Doug's attempts at holding on were foiled by the Mega-cocoon, his body getting repelled roughly as the Charizard emerged in its newly empowered form, hot blue flames pouring out the sides of its maw as the youth rose back to his feet.

"Yer gambling skills must suck." He scoffed as his blistered skin slowly healed up, his eyes zeroing into the suddenly much, much more dangerous lizard he had to deal with.

"Ya keep taking this bet— and it's yet to pay off." He said, lowering himself into a ready stance as the dragon came at him.

He did not move out of the way as it came however, his eyes growing briefly wide as the comms at his sides came in, Elise Calcifet's words blaring through and seemingly rooting him to the spot.

Blazing hot claws tore into and through flesh as the soldier barely managed to side step, large chunks of his torso missing as the news continued to ripple through him.

TL;DR:
-Spidops used Spider's Web
-Araquanid has chosen to hide
-Doug received the news from Elise Calcifet.
-Doug is carved into.

The ancient Entei-like beast stared down their opposition. As the Araquanid opted to hide, the draconian beast charged the Spidops, attempting to overwhelm the arachnid with a brutal Crush Claw.

Smoochie Duckie, in an attempt to spread the fires, and flush out the hiding spider, fired off another Lava Plume.

Dorian smirked as he heard the news of the attack on Petalburg General. The Mad Dog could've let the boy head over, attempt to mitigate the attack. But despite the chance to break off, Dorian wasn't going to let the boy compromise their victory.

Even if he had to die, or face imprisonment, all that mattered to him was Rocket's victory.

Though he had no way of keeping the boy down, given his power, he'd stall him for as long as possible. Dorian watched with sadistic joy as the boy get cut down by his Mega Charizard X.

"Mister Burns, Rock Slide!", Dorian ordered.

The Mega Charizard attempted to bury the wounded soldier under whatever debris he could summon.

The spider did not require flushing out— for it was not an escapee, but an ambush predator.

As the titanous Gouging fure lunged towards the spidops, a mass of sticky webbing came barreling from within the tree tops as the fires began to consume the battlefield.

But the Spidops was not concerned with fire— not with the unnatural water bubble covering it as it were. It lunged forward as the webbing descended upon the paradox pokemon, its toxic tera-crown roaring to life and sputtering vile toxic venom as its several limbs flashed a deep violet.

A roaring flurry of venomous strikes came as it striked at the fire giant, unleashing a jojo-esque barrage of poisonous jabs.

For his part, Doug got buried beneath the rock slide, unable to make the necessary effort to get out of the way, disappearing beneath the rocks.

Laying there beneath the rock pile, the pain would've been blinding to anyone that somehow managed to survive.

Doug however, was only focused on the conundrum he found himself in. The hospital was under attack— he had to get back in there and help Elise Calcifet evacuate.

But the front line was filled with trainers and soldiers fighting for both their lives and those of the citizens; they needed all the help they could get as well.

And he couldn't just leave this psychopath alone either. He would burn the entire forest to the ground if left on his own.

Fuck, fuck, fuck—!!!

TL;DR:
-Araquanid springs a Sticky web trap on Gouging Fire.
-Spidops used Poison Jab on Gouging Fire.
-Doug is trying to make a decision from underneath the rocks, stressing out.

The Rock Slide burial was successful, filling Dorian with a sense of sadistic glee. Though it was only a matter of time before he either forced himself free, or his Pokemon managed to unearth him, the Mad Dog realized the opportunity he had. Not only to stall the soldier, but to test what his abilities allowed him to do. To gather valuable combat data for SPECTRE to utilize.

Even if Dorian was forced to retreat, it hardly mattered. The Mad Dog played his part successfully. The trees were burning, and encroaching on the city. And he potentially had intel on a major threat to Rocket.

All for the Glory of Rocket!

As the Gouging Fire was caught in the Sticky Web trap, the Entei-like beast found themselves assailed with Poison Jabs. But rather than give in, the ancient beast retaliated, violently. In a state of Outrage, the Paradox Entei clawed and bit violently at the Spidops.

Meanwhile, Smoochie Duckie, having spotted the Araquanid, fired a Confuse Ray at the aquatic arachnid. Even if he couldn't take the spider down, he could at least run interference.

Dorian, seeing the clash between Baron Bashington and the Spidops, pointed Mister Burns to the clash. With a nod, the Mega Charizard charged the Spidops from behind, attempting to cut it down with an empowered Dragon Claw.

After all, the Mad Dog played for keeps. Enemies of Rocket were to be mercilessly dealt with. Something Dorian took pleasure in.
