The sound alone is what gives it away. Pryde all too familiar with the sound of metal on metal, "Well isn't that cute, but can yours keep up?" he questions, but rather than pull back he grabs hold. Thanks to the porygon he also has installed into his arm's system there is almost no delay between thought and action as up-close the masked Rocket uses a DISCHARGE up close, see just how tough the other's prosthetics was. Because while he knows the Rotom inside the other's is resistant to the electric attack, it doesn't mean the arm itself is, or it's user.[break][break]

Meanwhile the Melmetal handles itself, bringing arms up as it uses PROTECT against the MULTI-ATTACK. Following quickly with a counter with THUNDER-WAVE toward the odd creature.

"Well don't you have something fancy?" the masked man mocks with a chuckle before sending out his own fancy pokemon. The liquid metal pokemon's body looking like it expanded to be deceivingly taller than what it was usually was. An intimidation tactic before it aims a FLASH CANNON at both pokemon and Trainer. [break][break]

After there seems to be a shift in the stranger's arm as his body seems to multiple as the Rotom inside uses DOUBLE TEAM creating multiple of the same man. Some run, some attack. the first two would fly right past Orion before the real thing comes in with a punch of his mechanical arm at the Ranger himself. Every now and then Pryde enjoying the chance to test his arm's capabilities.

The boy leads the way, having sniffed away his tears now that he had Rangers on his back. It was eventually when they were near the warehouses where the Elite would just ask for the location before ordering Orion to stay put with the kid. After the Elite would go on his own. [break][break]

After a few minutes though there is a loud scream of pain from the Elite. The pained holler was enough to freak out the boy enough to cover his ears and mumbles out a quick "I'm sorry,". Should the Cadet leave to look into it Orion would notice his superior on the ground unconscious. Smoking coming off him as if he has been fried, static electricity lingering off his body as it forced the man's muscles to twitch at best while there was a man above him. [break][break]

Clothes were generic, as he had a facemask on, along with a hat to cover up most of his hairstyle. In his hand a blue gem that he seemed to pick up from the Elite Ranger's belt. =Intruder detected= a robotic voices says and has the masked man look up from his victim. [break][break]

"You should run along," tone is clear that this isn't a suggestion, its a warning giving off a silent 'or else'.

While her answer actually manages to interest him as it does stand out from the few before her, Pryde shows nothing. His time playing his poker games, with the small minor edition of being just being dead inside, allowing him to keep his thoughts to himself. The only thing he does give off is a simple hum of thought as if considering her answer. Which was more than what a few of the others got which seem to have a few of the others annoyed with her. [break][break]

Though as she works his mind does ponder back the work she mentioned. of the 'illusory pokemon' a concept that hasn't been worked on in quite a long time. He does look to his chart to look up her age and name again, "I see you've heard of older projects, then you were with us in Kanto then?" he decides to question instead rather than his usual follow up. Still keeping an eye on her way of going about the Slowbro.

Pryde just blinks down at the other considering him, seeming to ponder why he would come to him for a battle. While he knows he isn't a push over like many scientist were, he knows he's far from the best. He takes a look at a pocket watch of his as he adjust his glasses. "I can spare some time," he finally conclude as he shuts the watch. For now puts someone else in charge as he whistles for Alpha 1. [break][break]

The riolu is quick to follow as she aims to please as he heads toward the training room. "Any reason you come for me?" he decides to question on their way, curious.

Pryde holds in a chuckle as Beast bryan delarosa speaks about building a utopia. Oh how delusional the crowd they had were if that's what even their Beast thinks will happen. Aside from that Pryde is quite for the most part as the handling of Grunts is for the Admins and Underbosses. The only people he had to worry about were in a lab. [break][break]

He doesn't add much as he listens in, curiosity peaking at the idea of an energy source underneath Littleroot. He would cast his vote for the area over Mossdeep any day. For awhile he doesn't feel he needs to speak until Lulu tries to make her case, and Pryde couldn't agree less with his colleague. "I would have to disagree with Ms Lulu Flint, while we might acquire new equipment from there we any scientist we acquire will be stripped of their passion and thus they will lack innovation and thus be useless to us." [break][break]

"We've no need of what lies out there, what we should focus on are the resources we can actually acquire"

declan walsh might know there is reliability with the nodes, but that isn't the point. The point was that he wanted a chance to sabotage it, fuck this world, let it burn. "I believe in the League's ability when they're trying to protect themselves as well sir, the offer is more to ease the masses," is all he offers because while he believes the plan would work, he knows most of their members have doubts. [break][break]

After his simple suggest he stays silent and listens in on those who either wish to argue their trust in the league's plan, verse them giving both themselves and their pokemon up to one of the locations the league wanted to try their nods on. Of course he is more than willing to help with gathering for a piece of the meteor as the boss has already expressed his intertest about the rock to both him and Lulu Flint. And even if the meteor did end up else where they could always have fun with that. [break][break]

Though with the masses seeming to be against attacking the league's plan Pryde does speak up for a note, "Just so you are all aware the Primal Points there, and the energies they'll be giving off once the League tries to enact their plan will already cause the pokemon in the area to cause a ruckus, our own pokemon being added to the mix will should mealy blend in with the masses and no blame should come back on us for some wild pokemon's antics," unless of course their members decided to send pokemon that were high key identifiable to one person. [break][break]

"Not only that its mealy a delay tactic to keep the Meteor in place long enough for us to get samples for the future and further our strength," he adds on before he takes out a pokeball and calls upon his Heatran to try for petalburg as he believes it would cause the most damage there. [break][break]

As for the take over of these other cities he cares not who they take over, as he doesn't concern himself with the opinion of sheep.

It starts with just material gathering. Turns out the thing he wants has gone up in price, and while Pryde doesn't usually mind dishing out the cash, but every now and then a more chaotic string tugs at his mind. And rather than letting that string loose on the men and women in his lab he gets another outlet. [break][break]

Its how he's here in slateport waiting. Having kept tabs on an Elite Ranger who he could take out of the picture, who happened to have what the man wanted Pryde sends out a child to find and bring them toward the empty buildings at the Harbor. [break][break]



At the beach were the most boring Ranger jobs could be found a child runs crying. Tears and snot on his features as they look around for someone with the Ranger Armband. And low and behold there is the described target. The boy is quick to run to the two rangers, at first his words incoherent because of his crying. And it would take a bit before he could really be understood, "Th-this m-man, this g-guy," he sniffs, "He made me b-b-battle and," he cries, "And he took my pokemon," he gets out as he continues crying to the Rangers.

Again the cowardly dragon hides, but it doesn't plan to let it keep it's evasion up. Once more it releases a SHADOW MIST to flow into the sand around them. Using the mist to help him sense where the dragon was. Gamma 1 shakes off the slash, doing its best to wait for the proper moment before diving in to use BULLET PUNCH.

It's on Cillian Quinn's word that he allows someone new to his inner circle to help. Thankfully he was overlooking something simple, grunts devolving some Slowbro. A simple task, one that he would use to test those who were looking to get in. Should they use their heads rather than brute force he would see them as having a mind that actually cranks rather than go 'buurrr' or however the kids were calling it these days.[break][break]

"Unless you plan on selling it as well then no," he gives as he takes a drag from his cigarette. Seeming to remind himself that this was a recommendation of a former student so he'll put on some charm. He smiles as he drops the bud and steps on it before introducing himself, "And I'm Doctor Raphael Pryde, you can address me as Doctor or Pryde, impress me and maybe the third option will become available," Pryde offers as he gestures toward the slowbro were a few other grunts were trying at it as his signal for her to get to work. [break][break]

"Now what is your interest in working for me?" he decides to question, see what motivations he couldn't drag out as he studies their chosen methods.

"Your opponent," is all Pryde gives as a warning before he snaps his hand. The test has no begun as the Melmetal slams their fist on the ground as energy would gather at it's head before unleashing a FLASH CANNON at the two and the singular Gengar as the other has seemed to retreat to the shadows. Dangerous? Sure, but he had some semblance of faith the two would either avoid, and if they didn't... well they wouldn't be dead at least. [break][break]

"I would suggest mega-evolving your pokemon should you hope to win," he offers as that is his goal here. To study that bond that allows such a thing.
