The train continued to fill. More passengers boarded–pushing and shoving to make room–as they suffocated the little space that remained. [break][break]
“Can they get this damn thing moving?” Bailey latched her hand to Professor Crieghton's upper arm, refusing to let the crowd consume him; it was her job to protect him. She would do her damndest to live up to that expectation. A noise was coming from outside the train car, telling the occupants that Rocket had arrived; trouble would be coming their way if the train remained docked. [break][break]
“Yeah. From the Ruin Mission,” She murmured to him, flinching as someone elbowed her chest by accident; it made a strange sound:
wet like a sponge. The stranger quickly backed away and she cupped a hand to that location, pushing against whatever dwelt inside her zipped up leather jacket. [break][break]
She would have been an idiot to come down here without any pokemon. Some dwelt in their capsules. One did not. [break][break]
Paranoia kept her moving, kept her pulling on the man until they reached the front of the car; she was not naive. The wailing passengers were no better than mareep in a field... and houndooms could lurk among them. Bailey Cooper was not
smart in the traditional sense. She did not excel in a classroom.
“My pokemon punched Regirock in the face,” but she excelled in situations like
this. [break][break]
The Officer hoped that her comment would relieve his concerns. She could tell that he was nervous.
“We'll be fine,” and she turned herself around, ready to glance back at the other passengers– [break][break]
And that was when @logan lunged. Her body twisted to meet him as the tazer jutted forward, striking her right in the center of her chest. At first, it might have seemed like he succeeded. The electric instrument buzzed to life as it dealt its high-voltage attack through the thick, leather padding of her jacket; There was a wet
squish.[break][break]
She knew that Rocket played dirty. She had tried to prepare herself for it.[break][break]
And that was why, before either of them could react, Bailey felt a thunderous force blast her to the front of the subway. Her body smacked against the door, against the intersection between passenger cars, as the air was driven from her lungs. [break][break]
For Logan, it would have been far worse. Something white had suddenly detonated from the jacket, bursting it apart; it looked like a
fist. It would have struck into the man without hesitation, returning the damage that he had dealt;
counter.[break][break]
A strike from a pokemon would have easily thrown him back into the crowd, making him knock over the other passengers and create a wake as people made room.[break][break]
And Bailey cupped a hand to the Pyukumuku that had latched to her chest.
“Hey, Pinpin.” She wheezed, trying to recover from having the air knocked out of her.
“I owe you... one.” The sea cucumber trembled from the pain that the tazer caused, but she knew that her pokemon would recover.[break][break]
“Professor. Go.” She shoved him as she pried open the door, leading out of the passenger car. Rocket had found them. They had to move before the others could swarm them.[break][break]
In this strange junction between cars, Bailey slammed the door behind her... and shoved the massive pile of luggage to try and barricade it. Suitcases, dufflebags, and other assorted goods slacked from their neatly stacked piles to form a heap by the door... while Pinpin used
Safeguard.
“Run!”[break][break]
She grabbed him and booked it, trying to get further into the crowds, further into the train.[break][break]
tldr: bailey kept dragging the professor to the front of the current train car all you bitches are in (@min @logan). logan's attempt to taze bailey failed and told her "hey fuck they're here," and he tazed her pyukumuku instead. the poor cucumber retaliated with
counter. bailey shoves herself and the professor out of their current passenger car. bailey throws a bunch of luggage at the door (in those weird middle areas between train cars where they have the bathrooms and other stupid shit) to barricade it. pyukumuku then uses
safeguard. they run into the next passenger car and into the other crowd of people (toward the front of the train).[break][break]
