the appearance of the bug types does not vex aya as she locks eyes with their sourpussed trainer. her face scrunches and her head tilts as she takes a moment to look at the girl, hoping that inside she is terrified. "you don't look like a malcolm. where's...'malcolm castilla-somerville?'" she enunciates his name as if she reads it off of a notecard, though it is thoroughly etched into her brain. through the Light Screen and Reflect, both Voltaire and Soma tank the attacks with relative ease. The venomoth and butterfree fly close to their trainer as aya begins walking toward them with an intimidating swagger.

"bugs, huh? i wonder if you have a vivillon...maybe one whose pattern i don't have? show me!" excitement wells up in the last statement, more of a demand or a threat than an inquiry.

her intimidating act is shut down momentarily as another nobody appears before her with two Poochyena. she can only frown as they target her pokemon to take them out of their elements.

voltaire stumbles in exhaustion, but is not given enough time to fall asleep -- she returns the Scyther to his ball. the tides are turning against her; she feels them pushing her back, away from her target. the appearance of @bliss brings balance back to the battle, rocks flinging upon the enemy as Soma stands alone, taunted by the Poochyena. she summons Barth.

"hone claws, then fell stinger on the taunter!" he is an assassin, sharpening his claws before going in for the strike against the poochyena before ducking back to the side of his trainer. aya offers a sideways glance to @bliss , a smirk on her face. "i'm all for some fun but this? this is just not nice!"

her eyes fall on again. "where's malcolm? haven't you heard what he's been up to? some naughty, naughty things, let me tell you!" her crazed facade reaches its peak as she runs a hand through her ponytail.

a lie's only a lie if you get caught.

"i honestly don't think that's any of your business."

cait's eyes had settled upon the woman's mask, a flicker of uncertainty having momentarily surfaced before she managed to conceal it. her painted lips were now pressed into a flat line, her reaction subdued. 

'there's that urge to run again.' 

she mentally stomped upon it, encouraged by the presence of , whom had come to her aid. the woman offered him a smile to indicate that she was appreciative of his willingness to join her in battle. 

'i'll need his help for sure now.' 

"we're going to stop you here and now," she said, gaze flitting between the pair of criminals. 

'and even if we can't, we should be able to buy enough time for officer somerville to escape.' 

her butterfree and venemoth were only just recovering from the attack that had been significant enough to knock them out of the air. cait could tell they  had been thoroughly battered, 'ancient power' having taken advantage of their natural weakness to rock-affiliated moves. 

'i don't think butterfree can handle that much damage. and i can't risk her fainting this early on.' 

"return, butterfree! come out, beautifly!

once the butterfree had been safely tucked away and replaced by her hoenn counterpart, cait would gesture for the winged specimen to situate itself near one of kyle's poochyena's. 

"venemoth, you stay close to me. beautifly, use giga drain on the tyrunt!

[ cait informs @aya that the malcom's location is nonya buzzness ]

ESSER BLACKWELL Avatar
esser does not belong here. she is not a killer, nor a fanatic. all she is, is the remnants of the blackwell's hope at humanity. that too is something she fails at, willing to sacrifice her humanity just to sate her brother's thirst for subjugation. that's why she's here. that's why she's on the beach, kicking up sand as she desperately runs toward the innards of the shipyard. the panic that strikes her face makes her blend in, a girl that's lost in the suffocation of the overall chaos.

she almost trips but catches her self. her brother is watching. she can't mess up here. no again. there would be no forgiveness this time. a small pill lays in her breast pocket, easily accessible and poised should things go sour. esser still doubts she has the guts to carry it out but she keeps it for good measure.

ultimately, she's still incompetent. while the rockets wash up ashore, esser is struggling to keep up, heaving as she runs. maybe she should've done more cardio, maybe she should've been born into another family. anything to keep her away from the inevitable conflict. but, like many things, destiny always arrives. esser's just fashionably late, following up behind @aya and @bliss .

a magmortar comes out. the only reason why is because esser can recognize the bug pokemon on the field. surely fire beats bug, right? that's her thought process and it's realized by a series of FIRE BLASTS. repeated fireballs spill out of its arm cannons, aimed squarely at the two most vulnerable pokemon available. the fact that one retreats closer to its trainer is of no consequence. they're not here to battle. they're here to pillage and kill.

esser is not a winner but she is here to conquer. forces her to.



≫ comes in late
≫ magmortar uses FIREBLAST on butterfree / beautifly

[break][break]


[break][break]


REACTIONS
[break][break]

  • @winter: your tyranitar's SAND STREAM is rendered useless by ELECTRIC TERRAIN from ' luxray.
  • @winter: your tyranitar's EARTHQUAKE manages to sink the third ship but there are only a few rocket members on board; the rest have long scattered onto the docks.
  • : one of the rocket forces recognize you instantly and radio in your position. you hear this amongst the chaos. what do you do?
  • @winter: greninja's HYDRO PUMP manages to catch some rocket members off guard but the attack soon becomes useless against a barrage of LIGHT SCREENS that reduce the stream of water into a mere water gun. the attack draws attention to you as three rocket members look to surround you.
  • the whole docks: a sudden and intense GRAVITY surges through the docks. suddenly you start to feel heavier as if there's extra weight on your shoulders. those up in the skies will plummet to the ground as FLYING is now rendered useless.
[break][break]

rocket forces storm the docks and it looks like nothing can stop them. despite their third ship being destroyed, it looks as though it's not of any meaning to the outcome of the battle. rocket forces continue to move through the docks, surging with intensity, slaughtering league officers that stand in their path.[break][break]

the GRAVITY looks to change the tone of the battle as everyone suddenly becomes heavier. with flight no longer an option to escape, the only way out is through the main entrance, or by the water. league members: your options look limited as rocket forces outnumber you. what do you do?[break][break]

notes:[break]
- switching pokemon will take one action from both pokemon switching out and switching in.[break]
- players should decide amongst themselves what hits and what doesn't. be reasonable and communicate![break]
- moderators will determine environmental damage.[break][break]

OBJECTIVES
[break][break]
LEAGUE:[break]
a) help workers evacuate via the main entrance. attempts can be made to be fled by water.[break]
b) attempt to destroy at least three ships in rocket's reinforcement fleet.[break]
c) follow the orders of as he takes charge of the situation, and protect him at all costs.[break][break]

ROCKET:[break]
a) stop as many workers from fleeing as possible, either dead or alive.[break]
b) destroy at least three league ships that are fleeing.[break]
c) capture alive.[break][break]
[break][break]

[break][break]


[break][break]

GUIDELINES:
[break][break]
  • this is an invasion event, marking rocket's first deliberate attack on the region. be dramatic, make it tense, and battle!
  • for plot purposes, rocket will be successful in the overall invasion, but the league can potentially prevail in a thread.
  • you have a choice of which battlefront you want to participate in. do you join the thread where your character and their pokemon can play to their strengths, or do you join a thread to even out the numbers for your faction?
  • you can only put one character in each thread. however, since the threads all happen at the same time, you can move your character to a different thread if you so wish, but please consult staff before doing that.
  • you can only bring six pokemon.
  • your pokemon can only do two actions per pokemon per mod round.
  • there's a forty-eight hour posting rule before every mod round.
  • you can only post three times per character in each mod round.

"ALPHA!"

The cry roared from Kyle loud and clear as he watched the large Drapion hone on his Poochyena with a powered up Fell Stinger, its claws managing to easily tear against the pup's skin, drawing blood from the large gash at the Dark-type's chest. He clicked his tongue at the attack, retrieving the Poochyena back to its Pokeball before its wounds get more fatal.

Eyes flashed on the other side of the battle, finding the other Dark-type attacked by a Miltank. "Fuck!" The hit did a number on the Bite Pokemon, the hit damaging one of its shoulders. Echo stood back up with a limp, eyes glowering at the opposition despite the injury.

Panic was starting to form in Kyle's psyche as the third Rocket entered the scene. They were at a clear disadvantage, more so when his Pokemon weren't necessarily ready for full blown battles. The creases that had been forming on his forehead faded as he tried to clear his mind. If he knew there wasn't any chance for them to make a stand here, they needed to do the next best thing for the situation.

"Echo, Roar! Charlie, Embargo!" He called upon another Pokemon, releasing the said Poochyena out of its confinement.

"You know your targets."

The limping Poochyena let out an uncharacteristically loud roar in an attempt to scare the opposing Pokemon back to their Pokeballs. The brand new Poochy, on the other hand, exuded a dark aura, expelling them at the Drapion's trainer. Kyle had not tried if it worked on Pokeballs, but if it worked on a Pokemon's held item, he supposed it wouldn't be too weird to try it out on a trainer. If it didn't work, he might as well call it a bluff.

A fourth Pokeball, containing his fourth Poochyena, was on his hand. He took a step back, placing a hand on the Cait's shoulder. "We can't handle this. We lack the firepower. We'll need to regroup." He whistled for the attention of his other Pokemon, calling them back as soon as they have done their work.

"Bravo, Howl."

At the instruction, the fourth Poochyena showed himself, releasing a soulful sound that would resonate in the immediate area. It was a call for help more than anything, marking their locations, as well as their opponents, with the one simple move. "Backup should be arriving soon," he'd mention to their opponents in a calm, monotone voice. Whether it was to be interpreted as a threat or not was nothing Kyle needed to be concerned about.

"Sorry girls. Maybe you'll luck out next time and get a better challenge than me."



  • Recalls Alpha the Poochy
  • Poochy E uses Roar indiscriminately
  • Sends Poochy C out to use Embargo on @aya
  • Tells that they should retreat
  • Calls the two other Poochy back to his side
  • Sends Poochy B to use Howl and call for back up

Derek was having the time of his life! There were so many fights happening at once that he had forgotten that he was here on a mission. Perhaps it was the sounds of anguish and heated battling that had made him feel at home but once he and @bliss arrived he went to work immediately releasing all three of his Pokemon at once and joining into lesser scrapes around the deck.

They were doing well, Memphis, Detroit, and Boise all engaging in battles with League officers and distraught crew members. Heck, at one point his Pokemon had, to hit each other, as rowdy as ever. With his last opponent crumpling into a mess on the ship’s deck Derek applauded his boys in their winning effort. “Amazing work!” he was smiling from ear to ear, “This is the most fun I’ve had since joining Rocket!”

Rubbing his hands together he checked over his shoulder to see the progress of @bliss ’s battle. It seemed they were having a bit of fun with a rather strong looking league member. Hopefully, the ladies wouldn’t mind if he got a piece before things were up.

“New fight!” he called to his stable of Pokemon, pointing them to ’s fourth and howling poochy. “Detroit, get in there with close combat!” the Hakamo-o nodded, seeming to be just as excited as his trainer and barged through anyone in his path from right field. Once in reach, the dual type launched CLOSE COMBAt at Bravo. The attack should have cut the howl short and if not the ensuing attack would have proceeded anyway.

“SHUT THAT SHIT UP!” he chuckled at the formerly howling Pokemon with a wide grin on his face before pacing next to @bliss Bons this is so much fun! We should make this a routine thing! Like a game night!” he placed his hands on the girl’s shoulders and rocked her back and forth, “Seriously this is the best!”

His other Pokemon were behind him, Memphis and Boise seeming to be just as jittery as their trainer.


TLDR:

--interjects himself into @bliss 's battle 

--Attacks 's howling pooch to quiet it down before it calls for reinforcements. 

--Shake's bonnie and tells her how much fun he's having.

a wicked smile passes across her visage as her drapion lands a hit strong enough to send the poochyena back into its pokeball. it's a wise idea, keeping it out of her bloodthirsty grasp.

the battle is superimposed by the blaring of a siren -- a rocket has found , it seems. "none of my business? is that right?" with her cohorts @bliss and @alt keeping busy, aya finds herself squared off with alone.

"because, well, to me, it seems like that loudspeaker just made it my business." the moment comes to her in a rush as adrenaline courses more and more -- the moment to seize control. "cross poison!" her drapion pounces, its massive stature moving surprisingly quickly as it attempts a blow on the venomoth next to cait. the result of the attack does not matter -- neither aya nor barth waits for the result as they push past cait and her unsubstantial pokemon.

will be left in her wake with the choice to protect her newfound allies or the one aya's team chases, and she can only watch aya break through the remaining workers with pokemon in tow.

the tower that overlooks the waterfront gets closer and closer to aya, her lithe figure slipping between workers while barth cleans up after her with strong enough blows to temporarily subdue anyone unfortunate enough to get in her way. he will be hers to claim, her prize to take back to the pride in her vicious maw.

"malcolm castilla-somerville? you're needed down on the docks!" her voice comes out clean and sarcastic, nothing but bait for her target.




- this feels appropriate for the tension
- cross poison on venomoth
- teases cait before speeding by her, leaving her with the choice of helping kyle or malcolm
- sorry i godmodded a teensy bit by running past you yoyo!!
- knocks over some feeble worker bitches on the way, leaving the rest to fight each other
- malcolm? oh malcolm where are you?!

"veno-venomoth!"

her beloved moth hurried to her defense, managing to weaken the flames by making use of 'silver wind'. cait was forced to suffer from the heat, but she had just managed to avoid the flames due to her companion's timely intervention. her beautifly suffered the most from the attack, portions of her body covered in burns as she struggled to remain within the air. 

"beautifly, 'morning sun'!

the formerly debilitating injuries faded somewhat as a brilliant light encased the dual-type's body. 

"we definitely need to go," she said, completely in agreement with the man's decision to retreat. 

"veno!

her pokemon released a pained cry as the drapion mercilessly delivered a poisonous strike, the power behind it enough to cause the moth to reel back. a surge of anger swelled within the green-haired female as the masked criminal pushed past her. 

'i want to chase her - i want to fight them - but we can't - we need to find our superior before they do.' 

additionally, they were sorely outnumbered, and she doubted their pokemon could properly handle the trio before them. it was their inexperience that crippled them at this very moment, and the reality of it caused cait to experience a combination of frustration and anger. 

"beautifly and venomoth, return.

'i'll need dustox for 'protect' i think. it'll be handy when we have to deal with surprise attacks like this one.' 

"dustox!

her dustox appeared before her, patiently awaiting commands despite the chaos happening all around. 

"with me, boy," she said, addressing the pokemon directly. 

she nodded to kyle, indicating she was prepared to flee. the cadet then promptly took off at a sprint in a seemingly random direction, wasting no time as her poison moth followed closely behind her. 

[ venomoth used 'silver wind' to weaken the flames just enough to save his mistress. ] 

[ venomoth  and beautifly were hit by the magmortar's attack ] 

[ beautifly used morning sun to heal - it regains a portion of its health ] 

[ venomoth was hit by drapion's attack ] 

[ both venomoth and beautifly have returned and have been replaced by dustox. ] 

[ cait flees with  because nope ]

Bonnie watched in amusement at the futile attempt of the league members as they tried to fight against overwhelming numbers of the glorious Team Rocket. Star had mowed down the pups, Sun effectively hit those bug pokemon and even got one to be replaced but it seemed her little cloud failed to get it's sleep powder off. It didn't matter, the tides were turning against those who would dare try to stand against the might of Team Rocket. Even as Tyrynt got hit with a giga drain it did nothing worthwhile to him as Bonnie would instruct Star to give him a milk drink to restore what he lost, making him good as new, like nothing ever happened. More Rockets came and soon the two league members were running, now knowing the threat that loomed over them.

Bonnie didn't feel satisfied but as soon as she heard @alt 's excitement she began to bounce off his energy. Lets go get that Malcolm guy for the boss. Once we got him we can deal with those ships, I bet I can take out more workers than you can on the way there. Following in @aya 's footsteps Bonnie happily let her Miltank Rollout all over any workers in their path and let her Petlili shoot her Magical Leaf at those fleeing fools who would not get away.

It didn't take long to reach the destination of the location of Malcolm given by their rocket comrade. With all the chaotic energy flowing in her she would chuckle at @aya 's sarcastically charged comment. If @alt followed the two ladies then they would be a trio, and it seemed like the trio would wait for the main attraction to present himself to them like the finest steak on a golden platter.






TLDR:
-Tyrunt takes the Giga Drain

-Miltank Uses Milk Drink On Tyrunt

-Tells @alt we gon get that Malcolm boi

-Follows @aya To Malcolm's Location

- Instructs Miltank to use Rollout on Workers

- Instructs Petlili to use Magical Leaf on Workers

Tyranitar moved into a bullcharge behind some of the rocket members in disarray from Greninja's Hydropump. It had done enough to clear a landing pad for the gliscor and Nero, just in time as a sudden sensation of heaviness took the field. Both Nero and Nocturne (gliscor) lurched at the field-wide effect. Even sitting erect was effort as his weight seemed to be pulled towards some unknown direction. "Dammit, take us down," he ordered behind a prison of gritting teeth. The longer he had gliscor attempt to resist the gravity, the more fatigue it would receive.
[break][break]
Thanks to Greninja's double team, the rocket members aboard the ship struggled with choose a target to attack, and they would shift posture several times as illusions seemed to move closer and close alongside the mischievous snickering of the frog. It was a perfect setup as the emerald Forte would bulldoze over one man, his body flinging with great force several meters before crashing into the railing of the ship. Judging from the staggered movements and groans, he had no intention of standing back up.
[break][break]
Nero leaped from the back of his friend when there was only a half-dozen feet to go, dispersing the energy by ducking into a roll once touching group. He immediately offered gliscor shelter with a pokeball, and returned a familiar fighter out onto the deck of the ship. Metal horns were the first to materialize from the light, and out bellowed Rondo (aggron] still minorly damaged from the attacks prior.
[break][break]
With his positioning, he'd be unable to assist the ground forces for the moment, but he could clean up the second ship to cripple the invasion just a little more. "Legato, keep watch of the field! Rondo, Forte, we're sinking this one as well!" The greninja flashed smirk hidden behind the hide sleeve, and hopped back towards the front tip of the ship to make further decisions. The tyranitar and aggron both got into power stances to face the remaining two rocket members—heeding action until Nero's orders.
[break][break]
The agent observed carefully, calculating the quickest way to take down this ship while minimizing the risk to himself.

league members go above and beyond overhead and on the docks, but the rockets overflow. malcolm swallows his pride. workers run, their exit unaffected, but league members fall against the vicious tide. league who target the ships cut the problem at its source. malcolm can see a ship begin to sink. the motion of ship means waves crash against the edge of the shipyard and politoed reaches land. puddock makes for his owner. malcolm plans.

“permission granted.”

the rockets will wish they had the safety of the open sea.

alisdair advances. tail curling, he is ready to pounce at the behest of his master. he enjoys a game with larger prey. dedenne grow boring and obeys malcolm’s next command with out question. “pin him down, alisdair.”

play starts. the persian stretches to vault but it is misdirection – the rocket reacts too slowly for the fake out. he pounces, sinks its claws into flesh. soft. warm. rumble of a satisfied purr from the persian’s throat. nails pull down through soft tissue as he starts to play rough. malcolm reaches for the radio.

eyes sweep over it. disinterest. he raises it to his mouth and presses down to speak.

“is there someone important who wishes to speak to me?”

gravity intensifies. aegislash beside is dragged lower to the ground through its swords dances. people falter in their step. above, malcolm can hear a shipyard crane groan under the pull, still positioned for the final delivery of the day.

it can still be used for it.

“sgian, sacred sword.”
aegislash draws its blade. as malcolm points, it follows the motion of his finger. the glow of the sharpened blade is enough to carve steel. metal shrieks until a moment of silence before the crane descends.

the crane’s fall is rapid. accelerated by gravity, the curve of the aegislash’s motion means it casts a shadow over the flood of rockets and a ship. the pier fractures beneath it as it begins to hit.

“rain dance, puddock. ensure it stays in its path.”
the politoed begins the motions. its cheeks start to plump, a hydro pump to correct the crane’s course if need be. malcolm throws another pokeball. his oricorio struggles under the snare of gravity but he can still flap his wings – the threat of a hurricane.

over the whistle of wind, malcolm’s name is called again. it feels an omen.

an omen that needs a correction.

lord castilla-somerville,”
malcolm calls back. the marquis de somerville is nobility. they should remember that.




@raid
  • ok edit: mal is very proud dad abt league response rn
  • permission granted @briar , as spiral would say “fsu” baby
  • ailsdair goes for that rocket while he's radioing in mal
  • mal speaks into the radio
  • aegislash slices thru a crane to crush rockets on the pier + a boat. please not the one @winter is on. he seems like a nice lad unless winter is up for drama. gravity makes it move v v fast.
  • hopefully insurance will cover it
  • politoed and oricorio are getting attacks ready in case
  • mal corrects @aya out there she is very rude he can hear u now baby you're close

nice.

briar's already at the pier when the confirmation slips by. she sees rockets darting out of the boat, moving mindlessly into the city like a bunch of crazed pirates. everything feels like it's moving in slow motion. she can hear her thoughts with crystal clarity. but none of them are really reasonable. sigh.

she tosses a pokeball into the air. or, more accurately, throws it with full force into the sky. as it peaks, she shouts: "iron tail"

but she's certain that, by now, that's the instinctual move he'd make. gira appears, and for a second, the scene looks straight out of a lore book. a gigantic serpent, its colossal jaw tossing a dramatic shadow over the pier as it sweeps over the moon. and then, it turns in the air, IRON TAIL swishing in an almost elegant arc before crashing into the boat.

to brair's side, an aegislash slices a crane and begins the assault on yet another of rocket's fleets. she barely registers the commotion, her eyes focused sharply on the boat and gira's attack. she lifts an arm and catches the falling pokeball, but does not lift her eyes from the destruction.

hiro will get as many people out of the entrance as possible...but if they control the ships, they can secure a far better escape route. in her mind, it's the only one that is viable.

briar breathes out, and her whole body trembles as she stands dangerously still in the midst of an all out invasion.



notes in case anyone wanted

briar uses STEELIX to IRONTAIL a ship (not nero's or malcolm's) from above while watching the destruction slightly zoned out from the pier.

ARCANINE still assists in rescue efforts, and anyone is free to attack or sabotage hiro's little EXTREMESPEED runs while he's carrying ppl.

"let's go team heart atta--shit!" falling unto his knees. there was a sudden weight that which fell upon both he and his pokemon. "w-what the hell...? the gravity grew heavy all of a sudden." his body felt as if the weight of the world had literal rested upon his shoulder. what was this feeling...where did it suddenly emerge? and if it were effecting not just him, it was practically effecting the entire vicinity.

it took a bit for his body to adjust, but he was able to move underneath the heavy pressure of gravity. "g-got...to f-find the source...Come on g-guys..." moving alongside his plusle, minun, and incineroar, it would be sometime until he was physically able to begin running regularly. so for the time being he had to casually jog, and it wasn't pleasant at all. "seriously, this is getting annoying, it's like someone put a heavyweights on my shoulders!" the gravity was mildly annoying, but not enough to where it would stop him from getting toward his next destination.

upon moving directly toward the pier. as he'd come hurdling around a corner, light would suddenly freeze up and maneuver right back around. peeking from behind the wall, he'd come to find that there were others. his presence went unnoticed by the rocket and league members due to having arrived on the scene late. and from the looks of it things were not going so hot for the league side. there were three members against one, and that one was none other then the newbie . "oh come on, newbie!!" light cursed underneath his breath. now he couldn't help out @winter any further from here on out.

calculating the number of rockets at this time and the pokemon that were out on the field. he had to get kyle out of there. "let's see..." reaching into his pocket, he'd CALL upon the aid of DRIFBLIM and return PLUSLE. with drifblim upon the field they would, too, succumb to the effect of gravity. "as you can see we're in a bit of a bind, so, and i have a plan but this will require a trio combo that i'd like to call: super secret technique move name that's just been made up on the spot, tri-beam lariat!" with the plan set in motion after some explanation of the name, the following wouldn't know what hit them: @bliss , @alt , , and , time to initiate operation strike back.

without hesitation, he commanded, "drifblim, now: phantom force behind that duo (@bliss and @alt ) and positive open up a phantom force in front of them as well, darkest lariat the both of those crooked fucks through them, ifrit!" and without hesitation DRIFBLIM used PHANTOM FORCE as a dark portal was created behind @bliss and @alt , unbeknownst to them would a sudden mexican fire wrestling cat emerge with great tenacity from it. utilizing DARKEST LARIAT, his palms were drenched in dark fire; though, to be careful not to burn the two who were even unaware of the assault that came, they were ensnared--individually-by his forearm, one on each side. with @alt 's neck caught by INCINEROAR's right forearm and @bliss caught in the left, another dark portal (MINUN'S PHANTOM FORCE) would emerge in the front for the duo to be taken away from not only their pokemon that were currently called out--but as well, who practically had no way to intercept such a surprise attack to save the pair. leaving without any idea from where exactly the captured duo were to soon emerge next with incineroar.

"capture complete."


light boldly stated. as the duo were caught by the tall, large-bodied incineroar. there was practicallyy no chance to escape from its mighty grip--unless they wanted to get burned of course in such an attempt if he had to grab them by the collar of their necks had they attempted to escape. the trio would come to appear through a dark portal upon light's side, who would greet them with a gigantic grin and holding up the sign of victory with his right index and middle finger risen, "hi, hi! welcome to hell, friends--slam'em!" incineroar would hold @alt and @bliss down, slamming them unto the pier's surface and using his weight to subdue them both by the neck. light began to remove his shoes, took off both of his socks, placed said shoes back on and would stuff one sock into @alt and the other into @bliss 's mouth. and, with a clever quip prepared, he'd then say, "why don't you just put a sock in it for me." honestly, he could've knocked them out or even had incineroar snap their necks, but he wasn't a monster! though, he'd tell incineroar, "if either of them move a muscle, snap their neck and make sure they're never able to walk again--or kill'em, y'know? death penalty is always an option." incineroar nodded in response.

with the duo out of commission for a bit and their pokemon trainer-less, all he had to deal with left was the third rocket member known as . "drifblim, stick with incineroar and insist him in securing the perpetrators. follow incineroar's lead should anything get sticky, okay? let's go positive and clean up the trash." and thus he'd leave DRIFBLIM and INCINEROAR to watch over the criminals @bliss and @alt .

"hey, hey, hey!" light exclaimed, emerging from the corner, "oooh, , you didn't tell me you had such a pretty girl ( ) on your arm--and look at all these free Pokemon," light stated as if he were surprised. "you're all under arrest for obstructing the peace. and if you don't want your fellow comrades to start receiving their disability checks a bit early, i suggest you surrender while you can." positive the minun stood before light. the heat was about to get turned up quite a notch, for anything could happen at this moment. " , by the way, were you here by yourself? where the hell is everyone else, we have a lot to do! there's a bunch of rockets storming the city, malcolm gave you your orders and right now? looking at this display....?" light, sounding disappointed at first, revealed an expression of joviality the next, "i'm so proud of you! i mean, to think you had the coconuts to defy your superiors orders! fuck yeah, you have the perfect mindset for a detective--and then you're here with this cute girl?! you sly fuckin' poochy you--no notes!" a waving hand extended as if mimicking a rainbow.


"how about we finish her off together and go help out sir captain (@winter ) with destroying those rocket fleets, aye?" he added. they had a lot of rockets to subdue and right now getting out of the way was their next goal, "ah! and i forgot, hey, hey, hey girly! i think your boss is dead, he was on that third ship right? yeah, sir captain (@winter ) broke it in half. so you might wanna retreat while you can! seriously, though you lack bosoms, i don't wanna have to lock you up. that's just to cruel; non, non, non, non, non, non, non, non, non, non, non, non, non, non, non, non, non, non!!" a rapid head shake followed by a finger wag was given toward the sagacious . but let's be honest, this girl was probably nothing to make light of.




@raid
  • called out drifblim and returned plusle. current team is minun, incineroar, and drifblim a.k.a. team negasonic teennage warhead.
  • used phantom force twice, one behind @bliss and @alt and another in front. had incineroar perform darkest lariat and caught both @bliss and @alt who were practically next to each, and unaware of the assault that was to come, by catching them in incineroar's forearm who emerged from the phantom force portal behind only to be taken through the one in front.
  • had @bliss and @alt plop beside light. slammed them unto the ground, light took off his shoes and then socks. stuffed his socks into the mouth of @alt and @bliss . told incineroar and drifblim to guard them and keep them subdued. told incineroar if they make a single move or do anything unnecessary to snap their necks--at least to where they become disabled and not insta-death, i'm not strider. but don't do anything dumb or else that neck getting snapped.
  • emerged from the mist and said shit to and .

Both Derek's Squirtle and Vigoroth were situated directly behind him, both Pokemon just as jittery and itching to fight as their trainer. Assuming that Hakamo-o made quick work of the Poochyena he would begin making his path back to his trainer in which he would raise his head and shake his gilded neck in anticipation of their next fight. His crimson hues would fixate on his trainer and begin closing the two-meter gap between him and his trainer. Things were going well for them, so well that Derek had begun to figure this to be more like a team building exercise than an attempt to make themselves known in the region. Perhaps it was even both!

Once he was done shaking the girl and she provided sentiments similar to his own his right hand would lower in a friendly gesture to pat her heart causing him to inadvertently touch her chest. He had forgotten that girls had 'areas' that were a heck of a lot different from men, thus he had gotten a handful of her presence completely by mistake. Still, he was smiling from ear to ear and just ready to speak to her when the unthinkable happened!

Abruptly two rifts in the ground would form both behind and in front of Derek and Bonnie, a daring move but it would prove to be a useless effort as Derek's Squirtle who was still situated behind him as well as his Vigoroth noticed the rifts and sprung into immediate action as soon as the large fire type sprung into action. In defense of his trainer, the Vigoroth bounded his body across Derek latching onto him and clinging for dear life absorbing the lariat with ENDURE. Given that the inceneraor would likely be open not long after that Derek's eyes shifted to the massive fire type that had just attacked him.

In retort, to this attack, Derek fired his own, "Boise use Hydro pump in this big red bitch's face!" with that a powerful jet of water would be fired at the Inceroar's chest and neck, with the typing advantage likely causing a heavy toll on the other Pokemon just long enough now for Hakamo-o to have already closed the distance between it and Derek's original position meaning it was now in distance to attack. The portals , having come from the ground DID NOT hinder his Pokemon's vision meaning Hakamo-o was free to run around the one meter rift and use SKY UPPERCUT on the nice roar in follow up that was already likely recoiling from the previous HYDRO PUMP.

Hakamo-o cocked back its fist and in a mighty heave delivered a BRUTAL uppercut to the Pokemon's jaw jumping to do so but delivering a great attack none the less. "Sit yo ass down!" he jumped in anticipation as the large pokemon hit the ground from the blow, "Woo my boys are huge!" he'd pet his Vigoroth's head as the sloth Pokemon was still clung on to his body.

Eventually, the owner of the Pokemon would come into view holding up a peace sign of victory! He was a bit close for comfort and likely was celebrating a bit early as Derek bounded for him with his vigoroth dropping from his position, given the fact the other male was distracted he closed the meter distance between them, slid onto his knees and with an uppercut of his own hit @light in his bobble sack with his left hand as it wasn't wrapped by his Pokemon (fancy word for his personal set of Pokeballs) with that out of the way. He'd pounce(uwu) and lay atop of light's back and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Man, you leaguers are NUTS." he chuckled into his ear, grabbing a handful of the league member's hair. This assuming the league member fell to his knees, if he didn't Derek would assist him in doing so shoving him over with his rigt hand.

Despite the male not being completely out of it, Derek's Pokemon had rushed to his side as they ran next to him as he assaulted the other male. His pokemon surrounded them and watched as Derek pulled out his phone from his left pocket and turned on his camera. "Ah, ah, no sudden movements I want a selfie! Ladies love selfies." he held up his phone and began snapping pictures. Given he was ONTOP of @light 's back had any other leaguers decided to get frisky the result likely could have ended up with their cohort having his head caved against the metal floor of the ship. Though, at the moment Light was in no danger as Derek continued to snap pictures even doing one with a duckface. all of this ofcourse, occurs if the male reveals himself, if he were to stay hidden Derek would continue to congragulate his Pokemon and snaps pictures anyway. 

"Brother we're gonna get so many followers on Poketinder."


-Derek's other two Pokemon were situated BEHIND HIM meaning they were both able to see the other Pokemon ready to attack from the portal.

-His Vigoroth uses endure to absorb the first attack and without a second his Squirtle uses HYDROPUMP to stun the other Pokemon. With that much time and it not being said rather the rifts spring from thin air or the ground I assumed that they came from the ground thus making for a very easy jump for HAKAMO-O who would use sky uppercut on the big cat as soon as he got back, which he was already doing well before the surprise attack was enacted.
\
-after foiling the attack (if he foiled it) Derek would notice @light celebrating prematurely and rush over to deal some street justice. Of course, these actions can all be moot if Light had decided to act again once his Pokemon was hit by the squirtle's hydro pump but given the lack of secondary plan Derek took advantage of the man's showboating (without being in the inceroar's grip) and delivered an uppercut to his jewels.

-basically, his pokemon caught the attack, were able to see the rifts port from the ground as they were behind him and Bonnie and his Hakamo-o was in front of him beating on the poochy.

-apologies if any of this may seem gamey I'm real rusty at the fights. Anyway, Derek is now snapping Poketinder photos of him and @light ignoring everything else while his Pokemon surround the two. If anyone intervenes there is a risks of him smashing Light's face into the deck so plz keep that in mind. 

-if the matter of position is an issue please keep in mind in my previous post I wrote squirtle and vigoroth behind Derek and haka was the one fighting. 

-also not to be nitpicky but given the portals did not have an exact description of how far they were apart and rather they came from air or ground I figured it was open for me to act on them. 

-just how heavy the gravity is isn't stated exactly, so given it can stop flying pokemon from taking off I assume that Derek\s sprint and Light's reaction time would both be extremely slow or delayed.

ESSER BLACKWELL Avatar
wow! a direct hit. that's something new, an experience esser isn't used to. battle is not her forte and landing a critical blow on the opponent is something she's only ever received not dealt. perhaps relying on borrowed power, the source of her current roster, was more reliable than the eevees she had grown up with. perhaps this was the start of her blossoming into the strong, independent woman who could break free from the shackles of the blackwell curse?

and, just like that, her preemptive victory game to an abrupt, anticlimactic end. esser watched blankly, blinking repeatedly, as fled the scene. she could do that? esser's lack of exposure to the battlefield is a weakness that grants a window to escape. unfortunately, is not wise enough to take it.

but esser is. during the whole cahoot where @light not only snatched them up, beat them down, took off his socks, rolled them up, put them in @alt 's and @bliss 's mouth, but delivered a dad af punch line, gave commands for another set of instructions, and give yet another set of instructions, esser was long gone. the sudden disappearance of the two trainers were already a bad omen, one she heeded with caution as she struggled to scamper away under the effect of GRAVITY. luckily, @light had performed enough actions to reach a thousand words, plenty of time for esser to gain at least some distance.

oh, and @light had the audacity to carry out a conversation with . esser may not be able to capitalize on the situation but magmortar could. he keeps it simple, firing another FIRE BLAST in their general direction. by the look of its trajectory, its going to squarely hit poochy c and anything nearby unless there's some intervention.






≫ watches run
≫ runs too and struggling under GRAVITY
≫ magmortar uses FIRE BLAST on poochy c
