After a moment of ponderance, the big man agreed. "They can." But he preferred the style of a mantis or spider to an ant. "But not in close quarters." A hand moved to tighten on Razz's shoulder. There was bone-crushing power beneath the gesture.
[break][break]
Shit. There was a pause as Kazuya glanced at another wandering Bisharp. "Slip of the tongue."
[break][break]

The man's next words initiated a game of balance. He needed to give enough information to set him the on the right path but not enough to give his identity away. "Terrorism in Johto." There is a pause. "I was found innocent."
[break][break]

He shook his head. "But they were long gone by then."

Kazuya laughs again. The noise is identical to the first time. "Size isn't everything." There's a pause. "Trust me." All it took to bring him to his knees was a munchkin with a gun. Then, ther'd been the time he'd been shanked with a toothbrush of all Arceus-damned things.
[break][break]
When he spotted the Pawniard, the taller man would offer each one a small nod. This was partially out of respect and partially to show he was paying attention.
[break][break]

"Hm." The man's chest rumbles. "I see."
[break][break]

A sigh shook his frame. "Likely not." Sure, maybe he pushed his Pokemon too hard, but he'd never neglected them. If he had, why would he even bother busting into high-security places to get them back? He'd just settle for what he current had.
[break][break]

"If he is not here--" The slip of the tongue is unintentional. "--where would the League take him?" Rangers dealt with Pokemon. It'd make sense to have them there.

Like Maki, he was dressed to conceal his identity. But he could not exactly hide. The ex-champion towers over most people to a ridiculous degree. His Shiftry mask kept his face hidden from view. But the backlit eyes stand out like rubies in a pile of emeralds. “Be careful.” The man reminds his younger counterpart as they enter the area. “It’s too quiet.” The sound of Pokemon had faded as they closed on the reported location. It was as if the city itself held its breath.
[break][break]
A large hand dips into the blood before him. Contemplatively, Kazuya rubs his fingers together. The texture feels off. "Hm.” His lips press into a thinner line. He shifts his mask slightly for a better liquid. The call from Maki draws golden eyes upward. At talk of another ursine, his Bewear lets loose a rumbling growl. The Quaquaval on the other side blasts away a nearby streak of red with a water gun.
[break][break]

Kazuya turns his head to the indicated building. With a grunt, he moves to push himself to his feet. “An Ursaluna?”
[break][break]

It’s then that he notices the hairs standing on the back of his neck. He turns to see the shining Pokemon stampeding toward him. It is like an angry freight train, and he’s the quarter on the tracks. Surprisingly nimble for his size, Kazuya manages to evade the headlong rush. His two Pokemon do the same. “We do.”
[break][break]

“Natsu!” Hanayakana!” The pair nod as they wait for orders. Normally not a fan of two-on-one fights, he sets his morality aside. This was no normal Pokemon. It radiated enough power to make his teeth hurt.

[break][break]
Quickly, the main reviews his Pokemon’s movesets. They are not as developed as his former team, but they should be enough. “Hammer Arm! Double Hit!” The Quaquaval goes in first as the Bewear brings up the rear. Its two kicks get the beast into position A powerful fighting-type strike from his Bewear stops the beast mid Solar Beam.
[break][break]

“Hit it as hard as you can.” If the beast was allowed to gain momentum, it would be difficult to stop. But most moves required a moment to think, to prepare. Kazuya did not plan to provide any. “Don’t hold back!”

It seemed the higher-ups were after something in Lesser Megapolis. When asked to do an investigation, Kazuya merely nodded. He was a pawn in their chessboard; it was not his place to question their decision. After the briefing, he went to prepare. Kazuya did not know his partner, but there was no need to pry.
[break][break]
They would meet soon enough.
[break][break]

When his companion arrived, they would find the titan of a man waiting at the jump point. The sapphire accents of his Raging Bolt faded into the starry backdrop behind them. Sparks from his neck provide a small comfort against the overwhelming darkness.
[break][break]

Beside the long-necked beast, a Bewear stood with what seemed to be a vacant expression. But Natsu turned quickly to face the other Rocket. A large bag is slung across the tall man’s back. “Welcome to Lesser Megapolis!” The speaker at his hip intoned.[break][break] “I hope you came prepared.” Finally, he tore his attention away from the ruined city.
[break][break]

“You may call me Kazu.” He offered a hand to the boy.

shiv, lam logan, and 1 more like this

I've been on sites for over 18 years now, and this is the first one where the events really work.

It's an amazing site with blistering activity and a great community. You're doing a fantastic job. I love reading your moderator posts and am truly excited to see where this crazy region goes next. I've been here two years, and I'm looking forward to more.

With that said, this big guy is claiming himself a Shadow Pack (and maybe a new faceclaim).

The Bewear's muzzle twitched upward. Needle-sharp teeth vibrated in a deep growl. But another glare from his trainer silenced that. "Do as the cat tells you." This man was offering an olive branch. And, while he despised the League, he was not stupid enough to stomp on it. "Don't let me hear you slacked off." With a grumble, the fighting-type scooped a Pokeball off the floor and deposited it in the box it'd fallen from.[break][break]

One down--hundreds to go.[break][break]

Behind his mask, Kazuya's lips press into a thin line. After a furtitive scan of the hallway, he stepped out after Razz. The second he passed through the door, he forced himself straight. There was no more sneaking around. "It's a bit harder to ask around Evergrande."
[break][break]
The large man moved with an easy, leonine grace. "I would assume the Pokemon was dangerous." WHen he laughs, the digital noise has a surprising warmth. "Or some idiot gave a toddler a Gyarados."

It seemed the boy thought he was in a shonen. He was quite eager to broadcast his moves to opponents, as if being loud would power them up. But this wasn’t a fight in front of an audience. All it did was broadcast intentions. How juvenile. It also seemed they had forgotten they fought in a mine field.
[break][break]

Beady eyes flicked to his trainer as Kazu gestured back. Take it. The bear did not even try to dodge and instead allowed the attack to slam into his thickly furred hide. Sparks flew from his muscular frame as the bear shook off the attack. Payback. Dopey looking eyes suddenly filled with malice and shadows as the sparks shifted from electricity to shifting shadow.
[break][break]

His Fluffy ability limited the damage he’d suffer, but his revenge wouldn’t.
[break][break]

With a snarl, the bear unleashed all of its pain right back at the Raichu in the form of a dark-type, super-effective Payback. As Zachary would quickly find out, fighting Kazu was like punching a cactus. It was a painful, self-harming endeavor. As his first attack landed, his trainer would make another gesture—eager to press an advantage.
[break][break]

With a snarl—shadows still trailing from his limbs—Natsu went to hit the rat with a full-powered Super Power.

If he heard his scolding, his fellow Rocket showed no sign of it. Kazuya did not press the issue further. The historical events before them seemed far worthier of his attention. Then again, the poisoned sand cutting into him made it hard to think. When the Loyal Three fall, he gets a moment of breath.

[break][break]
Through no move on his part, the Regirock is conquered. It vanishes into a Pokeball—a reminder of the power of human technology. The mute man listens as Ulysses dispatches his orders. The city now lies in shambles. Another voice—howard slayte—issues an ultimatum. Kazuya remains where he is as that countdown continues.

He switches from his Avalugg to a more familiar Pokemon. After a night spent mostly inactive, his Bewear is eager to join the fray. It watches the Leaguers retreating with eager eyes. “Ho—zzzt—-ld.” His broken voice orders, resembling a crushed android. Though twitching, the Bewear does as it is bidden. As the number zero reverberates through the crowd, he gestures his Bewear forward.
[break][break]

A piece of rubble drops down to block a soldier’s path. He is wearing a Petalburg patch. The man turns and gestures his Pokemon forward. A sigh of relief ripples through Kazuya's frame. Finally. “Do your—-zzzt—-job.” These fools were abandoning their own town. They proved themselves cowardly. The bear lifts his muzzle and snarls. “Stand and fight.” And the frightened ranger did.

In this battle of titans, even an Avalugg seems like an ant. Though his attack reaches Regirock, it has the effect of a mound of sand. Something crumpled by a child’s sandal. As Dynergy floods the area, the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.
[break][break]

Screams in the distance drew the man’s gaze. But the sandstorm stops him from making put the shapes of the Loyal Three. Though they would hold no significance to him if he could. The slab lifts high above them as Regirock prepares its next attack. He wonders if this is what the dinosaurs felt like as the meteors breathed down their neck.

[break][break]

And he can see they have little time to act before all of them are turned to pancakea.

[break][break]

An attack goes awry, almost striking him in the shoulder. It chips his Avalugg who cries out in pain.

[break][break]

With a silent snarl, he turns to face the morons behind him. The older Rocket’s eyes look onto the troublemaker. He wishes he could make his voice boom. But he can only reach down to turn up the device at his side. With a silent growl, he sends his Avalugg between the combatants.

[break][break]

It conjures a Wide Guard to cover Elise Calcifet and @caderyn in their retreat.

[break][break]

The kindler rises to his full height, ignoring the bruises and sand that batters him. “En-zzz—-ough.” He moves to insert himself directly before Kenjiro. “Focus on zzzzzz problem.” He slashes his arm across empty space as the Avalugg tries to chip away the Regirock’s slab and barriers with a series of icebergs—Mountain Gale.

Between gusts of sand, the man makes out the calming cross of a medical tent. He frowns. His eyes catch on a familiar face as he recalls Cassandra Kubrick—a girl he fought in a simpler time.
[break][break]

SLAM! The earth shakes as Regice and its stony sibling meet. Ice flakes fall around him to join bits of rock and stone.But the attack is no more consequential than a rain drop in a flood. He watches as the blurred shape of howard slayte jumps for the gap between the two titans. What a crazy sonofabitch. That thought is one of admiration. Kazuya smirks.
[break][break]

As if in response to his Wooper’s attack, the sandstorm howls. With a grunt, even the big man is forced back a few steps. That sand is kept out of his eyes by a cracked mask but is wreaking havoc elsewhere. It even claws its way into his mouth and ears. . He coughs into his visor as pain threatens.
[break][break]

The Wooper vanishes in a burst of red light. On comms, he hears the calls from Ulysses Monroe and turns to stare at the fight between @kenjiro and @caderyn. “Kids.” Just how people are focusing on petty squabbles with this thing breathing down their neck he doesn’t know. With a lingering glare, he walks away from the squabble.
[break][break]

His Wooper hesitates. After a prolonged stay on the battlefield she’s obviously tired. Even her mucus isn’t fending off the sand. “Mi—BZZZT—na!” His modulator is barely audible above the storm. She turns tired eyes to him. He nods in thanks as she waddles toward him. “I need something bigger.” Something colder

[break][break]

He does not pay mind to the Loyal Three behind him. He does not know their darkness nor of their wicked deeds.

The Avalugg that emerges is a merger of the two titans before him. It embodies the crag of an ancient cliff and the ice that scars it. As the Regice draws its fist back, Kazuya swings an arm forward. “Bull—zz—-doze!” He hopes the timing is correct. In tis clash of wils, even a slight change can turn the tides. And, right now, this city needs all the help it can get.

His mouth tasted of dust and iron. If he hadn’t already lost half of it, he figures he’d have bit his tongue off. There’s blood coating his left arm from his earlier collision with a car. After taking a moment to survey his surroundings, Kazuya sits up. He doesn’t immediately move to escape, however. Gold eyes observe what he can see and hear in the almost darkness. He’s been in enough fires and cave-ins to know how close they are to dominoes.
[break][break]

Moving too fast could lose him what little air he has. Or, worse, bring the entire street down on him. He can hear the wind whistling above as something bears down on the city. With a deep breath, the man knocks on a steel beam above him. The wait that follows feels like an eternity. Sand pours in and bites at his skin.
[break][break]

A heavy thump comes from above as his Raging Bolt lets sunlight in. A large boulder is clutched between its teeth. A chuckle emerges from deep in Kazuya’s chest. Though a terrifying beast, it currently looks like a Growlithe with a squeaky ball.
[break][break]

With his torso clear, the Rocket manages to pull himself free. Its eyes are irritated by the sand and its earlier battles. His Wooper and Bewear are there as well with eyes of concern. “Thank BZZZZT you, Ikazuchi.” Though damaged, his ‘voice box’ is working. Thank Arceus.
[break][break]

Instead of fresh air, his escape is met with howling winds and the noises of earth torn asunder. With a nod to his Raging Bolt, he withdraws it. An electric type will be of little use in the sand. From his almost-tomb’s entrance, Kazuya can see the Regirock. Near it, the humps of hospital wreckage are also visible. Kazuya offers a quiet prayer.
[break][break]

To acknowledge those lost.[break]
For the shadows that now threatened the perpetrator’s heart[break]

To whatever the hell would protect him from that thing.[break]

Ulysess's voice earns an unseen nod. They own him just as they own the weapons beneath his feet. Ironically, he traded one set of shackles for another.[break][break]

Pressing his lips together, he headed toward the behemoth. The sand whipped at him and threatened to kill him with 1000 cuts. But he's experienced worse. “Come, Mina.”[break][break]

When he reached a reasonable distance, he ordered the Wooer forward. He waited until it’d hefted a rock above its head. For something like that, there, it was best to use its own strength against it. “Water zzzt gun!”

The white-haired man nodded. “That’s fine.” The radio at his side intoned. As a former mentor himself, he knew there was something different about the teaching relationship. Respect had to be established for rules to be followed. In his mitts, the cup looks like it belongs in a dollhouse. He is careful to slip it slowly.
[break][break]

Rushing with his infirmity just leads to drool across his front. Golden eyes shift as his Bewear turns to the cup. It’s obvious the young Pokemon is confused. Thwap! The mat drops back to the wooden floors. Natsu lowers his snout to sniff at the rising steam. “?” Beady eyes shift to the other two men. After a minute of struggling to fit sausage fingers through the handle, he just palmed it instead. Pink arms lifted it to his mouth, hesitated. “Drink it.”
[break][break]

Kazuya could not resist a laugh as the Bewear did. “!?” Its face wrinkled in disgust as it dropped the tea back to the table with a clatter. It shook his head. “It is an acquired taste, friend.” Obviously not in the mood to try again. Kazuya dumped the bear’s tea into his own cup.
[break][break]

“I am in need of an outlet.” The Rocket member answered simply. “You had the best reviews.”
