[nospaces] [attr="class","pilotsb"] [attr="class","top"] [attr="class","topimage"] [attr="class","subtextbox"] [attr="class","lyrics"] being on the right side does not make one good [attr="class","border"] [attr="class","postbox"] [attr="class","imgavatar"] The detective sighed. This stopped being about the particular Rockets that killed his family eons ago. All but their ring leader had long ceased to be a threat. But their mindset was a disease. It permeated the ranks of the anarchists he went toe to toe with. “It is best to view yourself as collateral damage.” There is a bit of humor in Nikita’s normally dead eyes. “A pity, truly.” In a different life, he may have liked Cillian. [break][break] But any thoughts of extermination are put on hold in favor of survival. His Nihelego—a true paragon of its species—now stares at him. Though it has no eyes, the direction of its tentacles makes its intent plain. Any chance of toxins cutting off the avatar’s power seems null. “What an interesting trick.” Nikita sneers as he stares down the jellyfish. “Really makes one reconsider a nap.”[break][break] Sadly, the fallen stone does nothing but scatter tera crystals around them. [break][break] As the cold wind buys him a reprieve, Nikita finds himself sliding a foot backward. A hand reaches for a cigarette as his nerves threaten to overwhelm him. Are you a coward, Sokolov? Some cheap magic trick and you flee with your tail between your legs? A deep breath calms him as he reanalyzes his situation. It would be wrong to say all hope is lost. [break][break] This is merely a setback on the battlefield. And, just like with chess, it is a question of strategy. Unfortunately, his possessed Pokemon has no intention of indulging him. Through the snow, a ball of toxic sludge grazes his arm. The suit bubbles and hisses. “Shit.” With a grunt, he rips apart the damaged sleeve. The Nihelego’s useless ball drops to the pathway. Useless and trickling shadow. [break][break] The man’s arms are a mess—full of marks and more bone than flesh. [break][break] With an angry movement, he tosses out a new Pokeball. His Walking Wake takes to the field with a deafening roar. Its eyes lock on the Corviknight above. [break][break] Ignatius watches as his attacks glide off the Corviknight’s metal wings. The panes of its Protect sparkle like icicles on Yuletide morn. But it is not his target. Notably, the detective makes no move to stop the attack. The Glalie hisses as the Eelektross slams into it. As its teeth find purchase, dark blue ichor rolls down Glallie’s side. “Freeze it.” [break][break] With teeth still embedded in its side, the Mega Glalie unleashed a Sheer Cold. [break][break] On the other side of the curtain, Detective Winters II stares down a particularly slippery Dhelmise.
