"alright, we can't wait for backup too long." with several of the rocket members surrounding the civilians. mateo decided. "sceptile, stick to the shadows. take them out with quick attack and leaf blade; don't give them an opportunity to call for help." turning toward dragonite, "take their pokemon out. be careful not to go all-out or else you'll hurt the hostages; you tend to get a little reckless..." casually scratching his cheek. with a simple nod in agreement, everyone had their assignment.

with sceptile maneuvered. utilizing quick attack in order to intercept rocket members and breaking their formation. dragonite, without hesitation, used dragon rage upon their houndoom's, koffing's, liepard's and gastly. all while performing dragon dance, enhancing his outer and inner abilities. in the moment a rocket tries to contact one of their "generals" or boss, mateo would deck the rocket member in the face. all while stealing his walkie-talkie.

"i'll be taking that!" and with the ability to hear the enemies communications. he'd be able to figure out their whereabouts, plans of action, and movements. "everyone, we're heading to the school; your children are safe! please make your way toward the school!" he shouted for the group to hear. he'd been living within his mother's hometown since his arrival for sometime. learning about the people and their culture. to have seen his mother's home become a battlefield and no longer at peace, he couldn't just sit back and watch this absurdity.

mateo chose to take action. the men and women began to make their way toward the school. once the pokemon and rocket members here were dealt with, mateo planned to make his next travel to town's central square. hopefully soldiers of the league were alright.
