early bird gets the worm and all that junk. He's had bad luck coming into this place when the season was ending but now was one of the rare times when he managed to get in a little early. perhaps a little bit too early as the sun was barely even rising. how they let him in at this time of day was a mystery but he wouldn't look a gift rapidash in the mouth. cause now he could use the morning to his advantage and sneak up on some monsters that were barely just now waking up. this should make things a whole lot easier this time around.

Kaz's fist collided with the chest of the flesh suit and it seemed to be enough to push the guy off of him. Too bad its strange mouth stomach was still on Kaz's leg as fangs tore along suit and flesh as it was pushed back. Biting his teeth Kaz knew that fighting this thing head on was a bit of a bad idea and so he needed to put distance between them. That's when he remembered a little "gift" that was given to him in case of emergencies. Something called a "scatterbang" that he reached for into his pocket and took out a small pouch before throwing it onto the ground. The loud bang it created when it collided with the floor was enough to catch the attention of his Blastoise who quickly turned and raced toward his trainer's side while the flesh creature man recoiled for a moment before being barreled over by the Blastoise.

"How about we call this one a draw eh? We don't got time to play for much longer. So let's plug this hole Jolly!" Striking a pose Kaz let z-energy flow from him to his blastoise whose two cannons went to work using the z-move: hydro vortex to create a swirling vortex of water between the two teams. What neither of them see is the mysterious ore that gets swept up into the water and crashes against the wall forming a burst of crystals that closes off the passage between them more than some water whirlpool. As Kaz and his Blastoise recoil from the sudden growth in the cave they let out a sigh of both relief and tiredness as they retreat out of the cave.

"Shit!" Seeing the Bisharp fly off and tackle one of the oncoming vans was a sight to behold and a sight to look away. While the sounds of the crash did signal and end to their pursuers it also seemed to mark the end of the brave Pokemon who gave their life to make sure that the rest of them were safe. The Roserade simply took out a small leaf and played a Grass Whistle in honor of their fallen comrade as Kaz climbed back into his seat of the truck and pretty much slumped into it.

"Damn...well..." Words escaped him as he kept his eyes on the road and flipping back towards the review mirror where the wreckage of the vans was slowly growing smaller and smaller each second. What could he even say? "Ya got some gutsy Pokemon. Now lets get this shit where it needs to go. For Bisharp yeah?" Hopefully this would be the only set back on their journey.

Kaz would be hesitant to call himself a Pro at wrestling he still had a little bit of experience with the sport. He recalled back the few months where he would take on challengers as a masked pro wrestler like Masked Royal (or Rey Mysterio) and had a decent streak for himself. Maybe he should dive back into it after seeing these Emboar's throw each other around. Just watching them was kind of stoking the fire inside of his gut to just get in there and join them himself. Which he was already doing as his feet carried him in between a pair that were about to lock up with one another.

They both looked at one another and at Kaz before turning around to reveal his incineroar mask and holding a pokeball as if it was some kind of mic. "Now I know you fellas don't think your both the top around here when this Incineroar is prowling these roads! How about I turn ya'll into some crispy bacon to remind of you of that fact!" Before there was a reaction Kaz was already throwing himself in a body slam against one of them while slamming a pokeball down on its head to try and catch it. Or in this case pin it?

As their pursuers started to thin out it was time to trim the rest of them as his Urshifu stared down the remaining van and used Detect to try and foresee anything that they might throw at them. Even with the sudden appearance of the fellow Flygon at their side raining down rocks the large martial arts bear didn't want to take any chances. Rocket were stubborn beasts and even they might not give up this chase just cause they slowed them down.

His partner the Roserade had a bit more carefree attitude about it all and it showed in his lax movements. Using Extrasensory it picked up the rocks left by the Flygon's attack and used them to try and slow down the other van by placing them in its way. Unfortunately it only seemed to somehow evade them with the van scraping by a few of them as it started to catch up, its speed increasing in a way that didn't look like it had intentions of slowing down. "Holy-I think they're gonna try to ram us!"

"Guess we're both just trying to do our best for people huh-" He wanted to show appreciation and amazement at all the stuff his brother in vigilantism but the sudden pick up in speed of the truck cut him off. Looking back out through the small window he could see the shapes of multiple vans coming up from behind him. Rolling down the window Kaz forced himself halfway out the window to get a better view of them as he pointed a finger gun at the front most one of the group.

"Alright boys, let's start taking them out!" His Pokemon stood up and put their hands together to launch their attacks. One Aura Sphere and a Magical Leaf from his Urshifu and Roserade. Both attacks weaved their way through the air and curved around the van to strike at the tires blowing them out and causing the van to come to a screech as it swerved before falling behind of the others as they took its spot and started to catch up to the truck. "Better keep that gas coming! They're coming in hot!"

"And with some finishing touches it'll be pretty much impenetrable. Think we did more than a bang up job on this one." As more and more rocks were put together and held with the sticky glob soon it looked like the cave had never existed at all. Instead it look like a wall had been there all this time covered in strange crystals jutting out from every direction on the rubble. It did give it an out of place sort of look but there was optimism in Kaz's eyes as he looked over the work.

"Bet if we had some chisels we could make it nice and detailed. Just kidding." As fun as that would probably be he had enough stone work to fill him for a good while. Now all he wanted to do was just take it a little easy to prep him for even dangerous work. Still his Mudsdale seemed to still trying his best to make sure it all looked nice by padding stones into cracks with his large hooves. "Well. that should be a job well done eh? Really gotta thank ya for the big help. Don't think me and my Pokemon could have done it well by ourselves."

Kaz nodded his head to the list of items they were in charge of. Basic supplies were always needed and keeping them safe was pretty important so he didn't really pay more mind to it. What he did pay mind to was the question asked by the older fellow vigilante about what he's been up to. "Well dunno if ya heard through the Tangela vine but I'm part of the rangers. Kinda feels like I'm not pulling my weight around though, honestly just been feeling like that a lot recently."

Maybe he should throw himself more into his work. Running around in a costume was sort of his usual thing but he mainly did it to fend off Team Rocket specifically. Maybe it was time to really focus on "helping people" rather than just "helping the region" with his antics. Especially since his toes were also dipped in many other pools than just the Rangers. Wanting to push the encroaching feelings that he could sense coming on he turned to Thomas with a quizzical look as the truck rode along the road, "What about you? How are ya holding up?"

As some items were brought out Kazimir couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as he looked at them in El's hand. One looked like a red shimmering ore and the other was some kind of ball of slimy sheen on it. Two things that he never quite saw before but when they were used on the work area they were busy with Kaz had to admit; they did seem useful. "Whoa. Okay yeah that seems like it'll help out a whole lot now." Guess he really was just completely under prepared for this job unlike them, and El previously did say that they were out here to help out. Guess that was all on Kazimir then.

"Here let me see some of that." Kaz took one of each orbs and ore into his hand and felt their weight in his hand. With a grin he threw one of the orbs against some boulders causing it to explode into a paste that seeped into the cracks and all over the floor creating a sticky hold on everything. Meanwhile the ore he threw managed to hit the top of the cave and suddenly spread into crystals that while they fanned out into a large cluster it suddenly fell from the ceiling and crashed into the boulders below shattering and splintering everywhere. Meanwhile the boulders seemed to stick in place thanks to the sticky globs that held them together. "Oh...oops. Guess I don't know my own strength, at least that glue is really holding everything together...right?"

The strike to the skull seemed to have done something to his captor as he could feel the strange flesh loosen its grip on him. He didn't dare waste this chance to further his retaliation. If it worked once before then it was guaranteed to work again right? So he aimed another strike right at his captor, this time aiming for where their "chest" was supposed to be at. Knocking around their focus is one thing but knocking the air out of them would be another that might just give him the freedom to pull himself away from whoever this was.

His Blastoise seemed to have much better luck not getting trapped as the Shiinotic tried its best to cling onto the shell of the water turtle only to fail. As it skidded across the wet floor it prepared to try and sap more of Blastoise's strength through a giga drain but it was ready. A green aura slowly surrounded them to protect itself from losing any of his energy.
