Oliver was silent. He hadn't had that pain of losing a Pokemon. So he just waited patiently. The Johtonian hadn't done any Pokemon hunting or any operations here, so he wasn't the most familiar with the desert. Even if a Flygon was on his radar. Josh gave his take. Yeah, speed it was. Putting on a pair of goggles, returning Bastiodon. "Speed it is. If you can take the women, I'll use Breloom to spread sleeping spores around. May help calm most of them down, or at the least create more than a few openings. We'll see what the exact situation is when we get there though." Taking Dragonite back out, he also gave him a pair of goggles as well. Once Josh was ready, they were off again, heading towards the thickest of the storm.

With twin bursts, they searched. Oliver flew over one group of Gigalith, luckily not a single one noticing him. Then another group of Tyrannitar. They did, but Olliver moved too fast for them to do anything. Oliver and his Dragonite almost rammed into a wall. But looking at it...it was easily climbable. Going up, there was one down Tyrannitar. But nothing else. No clear direction where they went. The storm had long since buried their tracks. But the cave has to be nearby. Yelling at Josh, he asked a question. "Do you know a nearby cave?" He only yelled due to the sheer noise of the storm. Maybe radios would have been a good idea...

That was one down. And who knows how many more there was. The sandstorm dyed down a little. Oliver sighed a little in relief, hopping onto his Dragonite, and the two rangers started their adventure. Oliver also released Lycanroc (day form), to hopefully sniff out the missing people. Instead, the two of them found a humanoid form. Both of the red head's Pokemon tensed up, and moved forward. Only for his Lycanroc to get excited and darted forward. The form collapsed as they got closer, and it was definitely human. With part of his shirt around his eyes and mouth to try to protect against the storm, the man as gasping for breath. There was some injuries on him too...pretty benign ones, especially considering the type of swarm that was out there. Returning Dragonite, Oliver summoned Bastiodon. Both of his sandstorm immune pokemon made a perimeter around them, lessening the effects enough for the red head to start first aid.

He also gave the guy some water too. "There there, take it easy. We're rangers. We're trying to find you and your wife and daughter. Where are they? You were presumed dead..." And with such minor injuries...what had happened? The man took a moment to get his bearings, and then spoke in a calm panic. "Right, you must find them! My Audino and Mightyena are the only reasons I'm alive...please don't let them die in vain...I saw three Tyranitars and four Gigaliths heading in their direction...northeast from here, close to some cliffs...my family found a cave to hide in when the storm occured. They might still be there..." Well, that was helpful. Oliver had Lycanroc escort the man out, towards their rendevous location. So, a small force was already on their way. "What do you think, Josh? Just forgoe caution and just get over there with sheer speed?" Speed was nice, but not always the answer. But then again...the storm did look like it was getting worse in that direction. It certainly did give the man some credibility on where some wild Pokemon went...

Thankfully, he didn't have any Ultra Beasts. Battle hungry wasn't entirely bad...one just needed discipline. Hence the problem child comment. By the time Josh arrived, the Stealth Rocks were already set up, and attacked Josh's pokemon. The Type: Null followed up one super effective hit with another, using an Iron Head. Sadly, the Gigalith's defense was monstrous. The creature then fired off Rock Blasts at them. That made Oliver actually stumble back. A shard scratched against his cheek, cutting it. Dragonite weathered the rocky storm with injuries, but was still in the fight. Oliver was prepared with a few potions, but that was between battles.

The big orange beast closes in, grabbing the Gigalith and headbutting it with Iron Head of his own. Hopefully Aleph would do the same...increased chances for flinching, and giving them another opportunity to finish it off. Best make this one quick...it won't be the last one they'll have. And they had an objective in mind...the civilians caught in this mess. Time was ticking and they needed to end each fight fast and hard.

Ah, so he was waiting to see the situation before getting some on call. "You're lucky you can do that. I live a bit far to do the same. Still, might think about what Pokemon might be best for a situation before even getting there. Just in case you can't do that, or electrical interruptions happen." As what tends to happen during sandstorms. Josh mentioned bringing a few dragons, but got interrupted when the Type: Null cried and then bolted off. Problem children...he knew about those. "I take it a problem child? I'll try to cut him off and drag him back...just get your team hammered out fast." Releasing Dragonite, he hopped on and they zoomed off.

Thankfully, his dragon buddy was extremely fast. To the point that even Extreme Speed using Pokemon still had issues keeping up. And he was able to cut off the Pokemon. "Don't worry buddy, you'll get your fight soon enough. But you gotta wait till everyone is ready. Including your trainer. Come on pal, let's head on back before we get caught up in that mess..." He pointed at the swirling sandstorm. However, he could see a pair of eyes stairing them down. Uh-oh. Out from the near by storm came the four legged Gigalith. Slow and steady, it threw up floating stones everywhere, a Stealth Rock. Oliver jumped off, and Dragonite closed and smashed it with an Aqua Tail...

Well, this was a switch. He often didn't get to do these dangerous missions despite his qualifications. Considering the size of the desert, having a partner was nice. Especially one that can cover ground quickly. Still...Tyranitar and Gigalith. Tyranitar were bad enough, but Gigalith too was god awful. Breloom was a must here, but Oliver also brought his trusty Dragonite too. Vileplume, Lycanroc, Bastiodon, and Hydreigon rounded out his team. Fighting, Steel, Grass, and even water type attacks were all covered. Lycanroc was here to use her nose to try to locate the people. Oliver really should teach her Oder Sleuth. Sandstorm was going to be an issue though. Combat was definitely to be avoided.

Oliver himself was also prepared. Between his clothes to handle both the heat and the sandstorms, he also had goggles. Smoke bombs, flash bangs, flashlight, and a homemade stink bomb rounded out his gear. His baton would be useless against the rock types, and a taser wouldn't do much either. When he got there, Josh was on the phone. That's okay, guy was also a gym leader, he had a lot on his plate. The red head waited politely until Josh was done with his phone call. Once the man was done, Ollie spoke. "Yo. Long time no see, right? Do we have a search plan for the area?" Considering the danger of this mission, sticking together would probably be best. It may be slower going, but they don't need to be added to the list of victims themselves.

She admitted the sound points, even going so far as to say that she still had so much to learn. "My boss back in Johto said never stop learning. Whether it's to learn new ways of solving old problems, about new Pokemon, or what have you, never stop learning. I may have been here for two years already, but I still have a lot to learn about the region. Including why it's so prone to disasters." And that's not counting the cat-like psychic Pokemon that can absorb other Pokemon and copy their powers. The red head was still keeping an eye out for sightings of that creature. She did hypothesize about a territorial dispute. "Definitely possible. There also could be other factors. Food shortages, even more human interference...hard to say without investigation." It's always good to keep an open mind. Especially in a world with super powered animals that could destroy whole cities with just a few of them.

She liked the idea, and went to do just that, just making some last rounds. Ollie did smile and nod when she thanked him for the assist. He also followed suit...it was going to be a long day tomorrow.

Mika had joined him to help figure out where to send them. She suggested Sky Piller. That would be great for the ghosts. But the Sneasal...they'd either become an invasive species, get axed pretty quickly, or there wouldn't be enough food at all. She also suggest Shoal Cave. "Sadly, not really. Some ghosts are better for some environments than others. Phantump and Trevenant like forests, Drifblim and Drifloon like the mountains and hilly areas along with Misdreivus and Mismagias. Ghastly and Haunter are much the same, though their preferances are even wider. Shuppet like more wastelands and ruins, even plateaus, abandoned areas or still semi-close to cities. The only ghost that likes the cold is Frosslass, far as I'm aware. It's...really quite fascinating that the three species became friends..."

He trailed off. Food for ghosts, but not too warm for Sneasal. Although...well...how healthy were these Sneasal? The routes around and north of Mt. Pyre were sources of ghosts and dark type pokemon...were the Sneasal adapted to the warmer temps or come up with ways to make their homes a bit on the cold side? "There has to be a reason why the Sneasal is here. Dark types can be seen within the routes close to Mt. Pyre as well. I wonder of they've adapted to the warmth or found ways to keep cool. Guess we can make the inquiry tomorrow and report that we've found the disturbance and explain the situation. Maybe we could ask them where their original homes were. Why don't we get some rest and continue on in the morning." It'll work out in the end he supposed...

Oliver tries to strike at Genevieve Cromwell and El Sunderland with his spiked tendril, but was so lethargic from his own Pokemon's Spore attack that he missed. That said, El's Togekiss using Springtide Storm injured Oliver's mutated arm. Breloom tried to strike with with a fist, only to miss and get a kick to the face. Soon, Spencer started to usher them all to come aboard. Only for the alien to get snacked on and annhilated. Sweet! Except...for everything else. Their own reinforcements were starting to bleed through! Excellent!

Some tried to go past him, including one with an Empoleon. What little semblance of humanity Oliver had recognized him as Rowan Wrynn . The red haired possessed man squared up against the man and his Empoleon. Only to see his Breloom join them. And give the Megapoleons and any Toxic Chained trainers a healthy dose of Spores once more. Oliver was already sluggish from it, but now his spiked tendril going after Rowan was commically slow. He had to get on board! But the slow down was really affecting him, and didn't know how much longer he could operate like this in a war zone...

TLDR
Is hurt by Springtide Storm, but the mutated arm is only injured.
Breloom and Oliver trade blows! Oliver wins. Somewhat.
Gets blocked by Rowan Wrynn and his Empoleon and his Breloom.
Breloom uses Spore again on anyone not human getting close.
Oliver attacks Rowan Wrynn with his spiked tendril.
Choice 1

Oliver smiled and nodded at Miko. The other Pokemon were perplexed. Oliver got up and went downstairs, opening the door and invited the babies in, along with his two dogs. Thankfully, the pizza was ready as well, so Oliver got that while Miko dealt with the Pokemon. Dragonite started to calm down the baby Pokemon. Even playing with them a little bit like the good natured big boy that he was. The parents of were perplexed...and maybe a bit glad that they didn't continue at all if the duo was holding back two big, powerful Pokemon like a Dragonite and Hydreigon. It would be a while when all the kids were asleep that Oliver would be found looking at a map of the area, trying to figure out a good place for them. The Pokemon were clearly friends, so he didn't want to separate them so much. But at the same time...Sneasal usually liked cold places. Man, what a headache...the two ghosts were usually find around Mt. Pyre and the surrounding routes.

Catching Mika from the corner of his eye, he waved her over. "Any ideas? My initial idea was Mt. Pyre and the Shoal Cave, but it's also clear that the Pokemon are friends. I'd hate to separate them..." New environments were stressful as well for Pokemon. So many things to balance out for them...

The Sneasal grew eerily still as it saw its two comrades fall. How could a couple of humans be able to take them down?! Granted, one used the power of her slaves, but this guy...he was strong. Oliver stood up bringing the Sneasal with him and taking it to its buddies. Letting it go, the Sneasal turned in shock. Oliver looked outside to see a small herd of Gastly, Shuppet, and smaller Sneasals in a circle, trembling with his two doggos keeping them together. With a heavy sigh, he sat down with the other three Pokemon. "Are you guys raiding this place for supplies? Food?" Sneasal nodded, cautously. Well, they brought plenty of supplies.

Looking at Mika, the red head spoke. "Whatcha think? They have kids outside that's been rounded up by my Lycanroc and Boltund. I'm almost positive that we have more than enough food for everyone, but we probably should find a good place for these guys to live at. A good habitat with more than enough food for them..." And sustainable. The three Pokemon started to look between the two. The guy had his guard down...but he was also clearly comfortable in fighting himself. And...he was offering to help them, in more ways than one.

Tempest Quinn's Lucario and his Breloom succeeded in making a ramp. That allowed everyone to get down. There was a few that decided to teleport down. The second group and them reunite. Though the reunion is short lived, as Spencer proclaimed about returning home. The ship could be used to get out of here, true...but something about him was suspicious. Before he could voice his thoughts, the man and the other prisoners soon formed up. Then his real intentions and identity revealed. The poisoned arm soon started to give Oliver a huge pain as it morphed into a giant arm with a single tendtril with a spike on the end. He screamed out in pain as he tried to fight that lingering thoughts of seriously needing to go to sleep. From his neck came the Toxic Chain in a hood like pattern over his head.

And off he want to punch El Sunderland and stab at Isaac Merlo, joining Genevieve Cromwell in taking out the healer...the biggest problem that they could see at the moment. He was silent. Breloom zoomed forward and tried use Spore on both him and Genevieve to stop them. Breloom couldn't beat Oliver when he was normal, there wasn't a chance that he could handle the ranger now. Maybe trying to put them both to sleep will help...

TLDR
Yay, the rubble ramp worked! Teamwork for the Win!
Uh oh. Oliver's arm turns huge, gains a tentacle with a spike, and a hood.
Joins Genevieve Cromwell in attacking El Sunderland and Isaac Merlo with a fist and tentacle spike respectively.
Breloom dives in to try to use Spore on both Oliver and Genevieve Cromwell. Let's try to put both of them to sleep.
