Did they finally get him? [break][break]

Had their tactic to team up against the Elite Four member finally going to show it's fruits? Sadly it seemed far too good a reality as a blue light crashes down on them. What the hell kind of monsters were these Avatars!? How the hell was the trainer himself able to create a hurricane of his own blasting away the storm the beast had originally set up, the wind knocking him into the leg of his Toxtricity. Raziel making sure to keep close to his pokemon to ensure he could continue to give orders. [break][break]

Avatar or not hopefully their numbers and the gigantamax Toxtricity were enough to keep them even. He gives an order and the poison pokemon tries to strike at the wolf yet it cuts through him and stops him in their attack. It's defense cracking easily as if it were nothing. Did the damn dog have an advantage over these types of pokemon or was this power it could use against regular pokemon too and it was just lucky he had a big target. [break][break]

"Sir I think we have a problem!" Raziel calls out hoping the others also realized the damage the other's patron dished out. Yet he still follows suit for now deciding to continue to follow the others' lead and if they wanted to overwhelm then he would continue to try and hinder. [break][break]

"Slow them down!" Raziel orders and of course his pokemon follows orders as it slams it's palm into the ground for a MAX STRIKE sending sparks of energy across the battlefield and towards their opponent to explode underneath them, hoping to slow them down and allow for priam conrad's espeon's attacks to hopefully land.

Madness in every direction. Madness from the sky. Madness from the ground. Madness from beneath the ground as the terrible power of dynamax uproots the earth beneath him.[break][break]
Once, long ago in distant Dewford, he would have been scared, terrified. These three Rockets are monsters, every one. Their strength is the stuff of legend. Even Hoenn’s rank and file could stand equal to Galar’s elites under the training of Zev Harcourt and jayden.[break][break]
Those days are long ago. Kouji Matsubara beat every last bit of fear out of him. What emerged from Granite Cave was a warrior. Galar turned the ore Kouji extracted from the earth into a blade of adamantium.[break][break]
Corviknight falls upon him. In his mind’s eye, he sees red swords used by heroes in ancient days. They appear in reality, these many swords, bitter blades fired up with magnetic force at the Corviknight. Trails of fire, like the shooting stars from his dream, trail behind them. He dives, and prays.[break][break]
“Zacian! Fight! Fight! Fiiiiiiiight!” He barks with a warrior’s maddening cadence, eyes seeming more wolf than man as he screams the words. The last thing he sees before dazzling psychic energy fills the air is the Espeon antagonizing Zacian, who grunts in exertion. Stealth rocks bleed the dog. She is not Zamazenta, meant to serve as dauntless shield. Her domain is the march forward, a relentless advance, an intrepid sword.[break][break]
“I told you! I’ll cover you! Keep it up!” Navy takes to the air, another sword in his hand. This one seems more a slab of raw iron, too thick and unwieldy to be called a proper sword. Were it not for this terrible situation, these awful odds, he wouldn’t have the strength to wield the blade. He batters it against the ground near Espeon like a battering ram, sending an earthquake through the battlefield.[break][break]
In the far distance, he feels something inside him break once again. The rocks dig into his skin. They batter him. His strength begins to fall despite all the power doled upon him by his sword sister. Just a little bit longer. Let the star streak across the sky just a bit…longer…[break][break]
Through the fog, he sees her sword light up again. He sees her rise up, strong as ever, delivering another behemoth felling blade stroke against the Toxtricity, who batters at her body, batters at his body, falling upon them with the full might of his fated foe, slumbering beyond the stars.

Bitter blades pierce Corviknight's natural armor enough to ruin her flight path, forcing her to descend to the ground with minimal control. "Arceus," Ameena seethed even as Priam and Razziel gave their all in trying to conquer Zacian and her vessel. "We need more time to win this fight. Time we do not have." [break][break]

With the Toxtricity, Priam's knowledge, and Ameena's elevated toys, they should have been able to win this fight, but Navy's patron was a stronger force than she had expected. They could most certainly win this fight, but they wouldn't win anytime soon. [break][break]

Unfortunately, with the scene they were making, the ticking clock hung over their heads like a guillotine. They'd be overrun with Leaguers as back-up for Navy if they failed to pull back. "We gave our licks," she argued, "but we cannot see this fight through. Not here. Not yet." Taking down the one and only Navy would have been an excellent feather in her cap, but letting him take the three of them down - or worse, in custody - would further the distance between her and her superiors, and she couldn't afford to look like a liability. [break][break]

She hoped the other two would pull out of the fight, but she couldn't force either of them. "Slow her," she ordered, and Cora offered a scary face at Zacian to slow the legendary hound before readying to take flight again.

time. of course they're running out of it.

priam clicks his tongue. he supposed he wasn't really allowed to get what he really wants. he was just starting to enjoy the moment like the good ol' days of versing against a hopeless match.

with a deep sigh, priam prepares for their exit.

"i was needed on the other side of the city anyways," he grumbles, disappointed. "espy, get on with it!"

priam raises a hand, invoking a morning sun down at their area to not only invigorate, but to also momentarily blind.

trainer move: physical shield manifests between the zacian and raziel's toxtricity as priam's espeon blasts a psychic towards the blade in an attempt to dissuade it from its trajectory.

[attr="class","leprosearlo"]

The EARTHQUAKE breaks the ground beneath him and his pokemon and he can't keep his balance enough to keep up, falling to the ground as he can't even catch himself with the way his hand was still numb. There is panic that goes through him as he could feel the way the ground shakes more as the Earthquake makes Toxtricity faulter. The young rocket not even sure if the gigantor even has full awareness of the area around them to know not to step on it's trainer. His inexperience in controlling a Dynamax pokemon clearly showing with how little he knew about it. [break][break]

Meanwhile the Elite Four seemed to excel in his own abilities granted to him by the warrior pokemon. He had seen glimces of Cillian Quinn's and jayden cross's powers before but the small effects he had seen paled in comparison. Though he hasn't seen the two in full battle before with their own patrons and wonders if they're as terrifying as this man. [break][break]

Adapt and overcome...[break]

Adapt and overcome...

[break]

He repeats old orders given by THEO BECKETT when he was testing him about even allowing him out. Following orders had always been easier than trying to think of what to do on his own. The repeated words giving him something to focus on to not be as scared. They weren't winning that much was clear but it seems his team was planning an escape and with his pokemon making something flashy was the least he could help with. "Keep on going use the last of your energy for something big and flashy!" Raziel yells and there is a growl and the punk pokemon looks down toward him slightly. "Don't worry you're coming with me!" he confirms staring into the eyes of the giant before it looks back to their target, choosing to trust it's trainer for now. [break][break]

If this were back then he might have just used the Gigantamax as a way to guarantee their escape, but he's been through abandonment and he can't bring himself to do that to his new pokemon. He forces himself up despite his bad hand before running toward ameena abadi as she offered escape on her Corviknight, when the espeon offers a chance to blind the beast and push back it's sword. Allowing the Toxtricity one more chance to use GMAX STUN SHOCK as it unleashes lightning onto the battlefield, this time used more as a cover than to try and hit the elite four and his pokemon before he would take out his pokeball with his good hand and return his Toxtricity. [break][break]

They would have to live to fight another day. [break][break]

His world is swimming.[break][break]
Stunned by the scary face, slowed by the morning sun, physical shield, and max shock, the momentum of the attack is slowed. His body violently convulses. Shooting stars burn bright, right ‘til the moment they are gone forever. To puh against these three Rockets would be to invite a battle that will push him to his limits.[break][break]
When he can see again, they are retreating. The battle, for now, is done. Zacian is close by, right at his side. She drags Roland to him in her maw. When he was a younger man, Navy could never afford luxury balls. As said in their name, they were a luxury a small-time detective could never afford. Now, armed with AQUA’s money, he returns Valkyrie and Roland to a luxurious rest. It’s what they deserve.[break][break]
“Get ‘em…shit…get ‘em to a Pokemon Center.” The Warrior wobbles, all the power of his forward momentum dying. “Almost…almost felt alive there for a minute, girl.” He holds onto Zacian to steady himself, patting her mane. She allows this, knowing the pains he has endured.[break][break]
“I need to rest, Cyan.” A quiet name, just for them, now that the battle is over.[break][break]
“Then rest well, Navy. Roland and Valkyrie will be cared for.”[break][break]
A nod, and he is gone, just like that star. He will remember these Rockets well, as he would any strong trainer.
