[attr="class,"memoryDarkbody"]She arrives with the reinforcements, clinging to her Hydreigon, Hugo, as they dove for the location. Most of the early birds were already in the middle of battle; two in particular were dealing with some manic Rocket priest on the ground. God, what happened around here?[break][break]
They sail over the fissures and earthquakes, Hugo’s
LEVITATE naturally sparing them both from the earth’s destruction. But a screeching cry breaks through the atmosphere, disrupting the dragon’s focus. It still lands at the very entrance of the Power Plant, but seems shaken; its fortitude against special attacks had lowered. They continue nonetheless, for Vera is working against the clock towards one primary goal: Ensuring the Power Plant did not fail. Her frantic steps are followed by her dragon as they enter the first floor.[break][break]
There’s an odd scent to the air—residue of sleep powder, she realizes. She’s quick to cover her nose and mouth, grateful that the worst of the spores didn’t seem to be around. She spots
kim cole-essam and his pokemon creating an… evacuation pile?
”Wow, you’ve made quick work of these folks. Good job.” She’s more relieved than impressed; thank god people were doing their jobs. Evacuations weren’t her assignment, but were still of great concern.[break][break]
Then she hears the agonized cries, sees the obvious signs of poison on the bodies and the barbs sticking into flesh, and it seemed the perpetrators had already moved on.[break][break]
Sons of bitches.[break][break]
She releases her Dewgong.
“AQUA RING, stat!” Direct orders. Pearl is new, has not made the same connection with her as the rest, but does her job and aims the rings of healing water at the affected. It’s not a permanent solution, but it could give them more time.
“Mind adding them to the pile? Sorry sweetheart, I’d help, but shit is happening down there.” She says to
kim cole-essam . She doesn't wait for a response before continuing onwards, burying the guilt with thoughts of saving the city.[break][break]
She switches Pearl with her Metagross, Amos, as a precaution. The steel type was better equipped with navigating the terrain. She goes down to further into the Plant, and to her horror is greeted by more victims of attack. Workers were slumped over the floors and against walls, blood trickling down their ears. She follows the trail of blood, bodies, and wreckage to the next basement floor.[break][break]
It doesn’t take long before she sees @trash walking ahead. Her steps slow into a silent pattern, brows knitting in suspicion as she tries to determine if the stranger is an ally or a foe. They seemed to be accompanied by a trio of pokemon: Noivern, Dusclops, and Exploud.
A Noivern and an Exploud.[break][break]
A beam of red light flanks Hugo’s right, Amos ready at his left. She’s no doubt caused a stir, but the commands come easily: Wilhelmina uses
LIGHT SCREEN over their team and
SHADOW BALL against the Dusclops, Hugo blasts the Noivern with
DRAGON PULSE, and Amos comes after the Exploud with
HAMMER ARM.
