league has its fair share of people who wanted to stabilize team rocket through the power of love and friendship. it's a hypocritical take that priam will gladly welcome since he's on the opposing side.

on the other hand, there are a few that will do the opposite. those hellbent on the eradication of the terrorist organization through all means possible are surprisingly a minority, but they do exist.

Thomas Benoit 's name appears as one of them.

his arrival on the outskirts of petalburg was noticed, and as the best equipped person to deal with him nearest to the location, priam was sent to deal with the problem.

"hey!" priam shouts as he engages the enemy. "you're not supposed to be here!"

with the number of elite four members he has engaged in a fight by now, he might as well be considered to face the final challenge and attempt to reach the rank of the champion. unfortunately, it's a dream beyond his reach by now.

he throws a pokeball straight to thomas' direction, releasing the pokemon within mid-trajectory and revealing the shadow braviary. a rock tomb is thrown at their direction, walling them off from advancing further.

10 MP per IC post in your Skirmish thread.
50 MP describe your character's pokeball throwing style.

Rocket had already gained too much ground as it was. Conning the people of Sootopolis into allowing the organization to occupy their city for three years. This recent takeover of Petalburg, with the assistance of the scum from Kanto Rocket. The attack which saw his good friend, Shalin Nariya , end up as one of Rocket's prisoners.

Thomas couldn't allow them to make further inroads into the Region. Thomas remembered their last attempt on Littleroot. If they were able to take Oldale, then they'd have another shot at Littleroot.

Thomas glowered in the direction of the blue-haired man that called to him. Though he didn't immediately speak, the white-hot fury in his eyes said all that needed to be said. Move aside, or be crushed in his wake.

Thomas quickly moved back away from the Rock Tomb being set in his way. The Kalosian grabbed a Pokeball of his own, tossing it over the newly formed wall, like he was tossing a grenade. A throw developed through his years of training in the Kanto Region.

After the Pokeball landed on the opposite side of the wall, Tapu Koko emerged from within. The Island Deity let out a furious, powerful cry, as Electric Terrain was summoned across the battlefield. Dewford's Deity looked up at the corrupted Braviary, fury in their eyes, as they lunged towards the Avian with a brutal Quick Attack.

Melody Miro likes this

a metallic sheen covers the ruby feathers of braviary's steel wing as it defends against the tapu koko's attack.

iron feathers were shed upon impact, shaken off by the sheer force of braviary's deflection when it attempted to throw the legend away from it.

the properties of a shadow pokemon had obviously taken hold on the pokemon to augment it. the aggression of one also surfaces with a loud war cry when it closes the distance to strike with the same steel wing.

"you're not one of 'em talkative ones, huh? that's fine. we can have it your way."

he supposed the previous elite four member wasn't really known for being sociable, like Melody Miro or Navy. it feels weird when there was no trash talk to be had.

it makes it more difficult to dissociate.

On the other side of the wall, Thomas grabbed a Pokeball. This one was a regular Pokeball, one that had been used for a very recent capture, unlike the other Pokeballs, which were either customized, or otherwise weathered with age. The Crawdaunt looked to the wall of rocks. Thomas gave the crab a nod, prompting it to smash the barricade with a well-placed Crabhammer.

As Thomas approached, the look on his face said it all. "You! You're the rat that infiltrated Dr Morales' lab!", Thomas spat at the blue-haired man.

Tapu Koko tucked themselves into the shell, bracing themselves for the Steel Wing from the Shadow Braviary. In retaliation, the Island Guardian opened their shell again, and unleashed a blinding Dazzling Gleam.

"I'm looking for an Akira Miyazaki! One of the Kanto Rockets that stayed behind!", Thomas revealed to the Beast venomously. His tone left little to speculate on what he wanted with the man. "You can either tell me where to find him, or I can beat it out of you, choice is yours!"
