Clutching the Sky Plate, Asch looked up in surprise as now a huge Gyarados was looming in front of him, obscuring his vision of Saber. "Dammit!" he cursed to nobody in particular. Being unable to see his Zoroark was frustrating, and hopefully the Pokemon would manage despite being poisoned.
Tyke's expression was also one of seriousness, although he sweatdropped at the appearance of the Gyarados. But still! He had to guard his master! "Zor!" he barked to the other Pokemon doing the same, particularly to Conrad. Yay another Pokemon his size!
Asch heard something about a Zoroark being said by the elite, but couldn't catch the rest. He glanced over at Alba though and huffed. "Neither was I." And neither had he expected to be the body guard to a...piece of rock. Or whatever it was made of.
The illusion of the Gliscor disappeared and Saber was visible once more. He wasn't so cowardly as to hide from his opponent continuously. He lept at Phillip once again, aiming another Night Slash. His HP was slowly draining with the poison and he needed to make every hit count before his time was up.
Havoc whinnied in victory as his attack managed to hit, but he quickly turned around and ran at the Houndoom that was attacking Hirss in a Wild Charge attack. The Ponyta just attacking whatever he saw.

"Excellent, do that again! Ack!" Tambrey widened her eyes as the fighting move made contact with her bird and hoped that it wouldn't paralyze... Pygi screeched angrily as she was knocked around and flung back a little in the air, yet though it hurt and she was a little stunned by the hit, she retained her ability to move and soon was sending another Gust toward the Lucario. She wasn't too preoccupied to notice the sudden arrival of the massive dragon-fish pokemon, and her attention wandered to ensuring she wasn't in its way for a moment or two.
Neph, meanwhile, had also spotted the Gyarados. Who cared if it was on their side? /That's/ what /she/ wanted to fight! But there were so many pesky firedogs and punchydogs everywhere... ... And that familiar spinny thing! Though it currently had an Absol attachment. Anyway that meant the humanface who controlled the shiny metal enemy from before was here... Now where was she? The Spinarak shot her webbing upward, hoping to pull herself to a higher vantage point.
Lasi flew over houndooms without so much of a glance. No, no, Tambrey had said target the /fighty-dogs/... Which meant the Lucario; that was obvious. He was sorely tempted to seek out a familiar, hellish, assuredly delicious, moth, but that was not his mis- OH! OH! ANOTHER BAT! ...an enemy bat. His excitement was short-lived and he frowned at it. At least it seemed to be having a hard time. He turned his attention to the ground and frowned. All the Lucario /were/ being taken care of except for... The next moment he was sailing back past Tambrey and Pygi, aiming a Wing Attack at the fighting type. Tambrey missed it, as she'd turned to see how her team mates were faring, and if any Galactic members had gotten too close.
If she could have apologized for disturbing any battles as she scurried through, she would have. Ella halted at the door and 'sized it up'; she wanted to be 'neat' and chew a very nice hole so that whoever owned the door would not be too upset and could repair it easily enough. Satisfied with her intentions, she began to chew, choosing to ignore the battle behind her.

The lucario engaging Zack took several ember attacks to the face and somersaulted backwards away from him.
The houndoom double-teamed by Eclipse and Angel tried to get a fire fang out but was interrupted by the two blows, "Doom!"
The houndoom attacking Hirss was effectively knocked loose by Boss's flame charge and Havoc's wild charge, only to be caught up in Lucy's scattered hydropump attacks. Ow.
"Sir," Tethys spoke again. "We're not here to kill them." She pursed her lips, scanning across the chaos that rattled ancient artifacts in their cases until her eyes rested on an industriously gnawing red shape. "They're also trying to escape."
Deimos, who had been practically leaning out of their floating mecha as he watched the fight, blinked when Tethys spoke and looked back at his second in command. His brow furrowed and he looked back at the madness below, then the industrious aron, "..of course. You're right." His eye shifted to the green ball of fuzz on his shoulder, "Pin them."
"Shay SHAY!" Andre hopped off Deimos and perched on the edge of the Dusknoir's eye cavity.
Phillip was in the middle of dodging Saber's second night slash and seemed about to retaliate when he heard the tiny voice overhead. "Scor!" Flapping his wings, he turned and fled back toward the ship.
"SHAYYYMIN!!! The familiar sound of an erupting seed flare roared across the ceiling, shattering what remained of it. Shards of glass and chunks of stone rained down on the room. The majority of the Galactics were protected, having lingered beneath the mecha, which acted as a large shield.
Lucy took a slab of stone to the head, effectively jarring him out of his hydropump attack.
Lore's eyes widened and he turned to dodge a large shard of glass, only to have it bury itself in his shoulder, "Son of a b***h!" He staggered and dropped to his knees.
The attack had been more than slight overkill. Deimos didn't seem to mind.

Havoc snorted as the Houndoom was driven back, and turned to see... the biggest abomination he had ever laid eyes on. The Ponyta stared at Hirss, not even sure what to make of her. What was that thing!? It was so ugly... was it even a Pokemon?! Mortified by the appearance of such a grotesque being, Havoc attacked! Bringing his hooves down towards the Feraligatr's tail in a Stomp attack.
Saber looked up as the Gliscor flew off, not having any idea what was going on until the Shaymin descended and... exploded. Being in close proximity, the Zoroark was flung across the room. Instantly knocked out, his body hit a support pillar before falling towards the floor.
Asch looked on with wide eyes as he saw his Pokemon sail through the air, not seeing the debris flying in his direction until it was too late. A chunk of rock struck the side of his head while glass shards buried themselves in random parts of his body. The agent fell, bleeding and knocked unconscious.
"ZOR!" Tyke cried in a panic, quickly running over to his fallen master. He'd failed! He'd failed to protect him!

As the seed flare went off and the ceiling started to fall Char focused his energy on avoiding being turned into a scaly pancake; he could not serve the master if he was flat.
Tortie howled in pain as the glass cut deep into her flank and shoulder but clung on doggedly to her target, shaking her head and worrying at the arm she had clamped in her jaws. Red had just been swooping around to help her teammate when the seedflare went off. Ha! She was too fast for that though! A perfect dodge! Red crowed at the enemy... and then wondered why her balance was a bit off.
Then a flicker of movement caught her eye.
Her crest was fluttering towards the ground, severed from her head.
"Pidgeoooooooooooooooooooooooooooot!" Screaming with the fury of a thousand Gyrados she dived at the legendary grass type with a Fly attack. [You. Cut. My. CREST!]

Zack was about to lunge for the Lucario again with a Bite but then the situation got worse with debris flying all around thanks to the Shaymin. He let out a yelp when a part of the roof came down and smacked him on the right shoulder. The Arcanine quickly back peddled over to Xander in both an attempt to protect him and seeking comfort for the hits he's already gotten.
Xander had managed to get out of the way of all flying debris, having been watching out for the exploding Shaymin just in case something like this happened. The only thing he didn't miss was a small piece of the roof that tripped him up when he had taken a step back.
Angel let out a feline scream of rage and pain when glass came down and littered cuts all over her. He took her anger out on the Houndoom with a viscous Assist, borrowing the Gyarados' Hydro Pump. Eclipse on the other hand was nearly knocked out from a chunk of stone and was just standing there on wobbly feet.
Conrad DESPISED that Shaymin. He was torn between returning to Xander and staying put and protecting Asch and the plate, but once he say the red head get knocked out he moved to cover him and Tyke from any more. Though he was sure to scoot the plate closer to Asch from where it had fallen.

Kururi mewled pitifully at the houndoom's fire fang attack, not having expected such pain to have come from the evolved, dark fire dog. Mairu and Celty's triumph over the lucario was short-lived when Mairu got distracted by Kururi's cry and hurried over to where her sister had fallen. Celty, meanwhile, stayed behind to make sure the Lucario didn't go after the pair of Purrloin.
Shadow, witnessing the turn of events with the pokemon, was having a little trouble keeping his attention on all three with once. "Celty, Hypnosis that - uh, thing. You can do that, right?" Arceus, he sure damn hoped he remembered the move sets Nakura had told him they'd known. Dark...Celty has no weaknesses, but the purrloin have disadvantages against fighting and bug...and their attacks won't work so well on steel...
The young grunt glanced around, unsure of how to command the small felines. Mairu was trying to protect Kururi amid the chaos, flinging Sand-Attack at whatever enemy pokemon came near. Kururi, weakened, glanced at Shawn. "Uh...can you use Assist, Kururi?" he asked, at a loss for what else to do. He knew the twins had the same move sets he couldn't deside what attack to command them to use. The darker purrloin nodded before striking back at a nearby Houndoom, hoping it was the one that had Fire Fang'ed her. Her Assist resulted in borrowing Celty's Ominous Wind.
Meanwhile, Shawn had noticed that Hayes had asked a ghost to help out, but Bro had already taken on the job. But then there was a pokemon cry overhead and a huge explosion that sent down more debris. Shadow managed to take cover behind the still-standing case of a nearby display. "Asch!" When the red-headed agent went down, though, that was a cause for concern. He ran to the unconscious Rocket to check on him.

The chitin armor mutated on the Feraligatr's tail make an unsettling crack when the Ponyta's hooves. Hirss let out a sudden hiss against the pain, her Scald attack was cut off as her jaws snapped shut. The long, glossy head of the Feraligatr turned, towering over the smaller pony, and in her rage claws and teeth both bared down on Havoc. At the same time as a shower of glass and concrete showered down on Hirss.
In hind sight, Jerome should have stayed where he was, it was much father out of the way of the dangers that how showered onto of the rockets. The gangster wasn't exactly sure what happened, he felt an intense pain on his shoulder, that shot through his left arm, and across his shoulders. He didn't know how he got on the ground, it was like he blinked and the floor was suddenly in his face. Jerome grunted, shifting his arm to try and push himself back up to his feet, but he found that something was pinning him down. With dreadlocks falling in his face, he wasn't able to tell what it was, but it was heavy, and the more it stayed on him, the more it ********' hurt!
"Nite nite!" Boss squealed in surprise inking heavily as he rushed to Jerome, and tried to pry the large chunk of cement that had collapsed onto his trainer's side and shoulder.
"Gar!" The Gangar that always hovered by Jerome wasn't gone for long, abandoning his search for a switch, and rushed over to help Boss get Jerome free. the two of them able to flip the slab ********' s**t!" Jerome swore in pain as the pressure gave way, but the pain didn't. He got himself up with the help of Boss, shaking the dreadlocks back behind his shoulder, only to see that he was bleeding pretty bad, and he couldn't move his left arm at all.
Jerome's string of profanity continued as he struggled back to his feet, Boss helping the gangster back toward the group, while and pissed off Bro' remained to watch their back.

Alba was momentarily distracted by shielding his own head and crouching again to cover Spook. It probably saved him from getting hid in the head. He reached over to yank Asch down with him, but it was too late. "Kid!" Not good not good not good.
It was strange, how the human mind could work. At first, Alba was stunned by how things had turned south. Then everything, all of the chaos, seemed to go quiet, muffled. His training from years ago kicked in, and he was moving. First, removal of a sleeve from his own jacket, turned inside out and pressed to Asch's bleeding head wound. "Hold that,' he instructed to Shawn when the younger Rocket reached them. "Don't let up on the pressure." He started going through his pockets and looking around. "Anyone seen a first aid kit in here?" he asked their little group at large.

"Right-" Hayes was on his way over to Lore to confer with the other higher-up, which was a rather mild way of describing the Aulus-assisted shoving and attack dodging the move actually entailed.
Halfway there a tiny voice caught his ear and his eyes widened.
"..get down." The blond grabbed Aulus' shoulder and pulled him into the lee of a nearby display case, just before an explosion rocked the support beams overhead.

s**t! Aulus dived forward, grabbing Hayes' arm in return, and gritted his teeth in anticipation of something Very Unpleasant happening. The explosion certainly fell into that category.
On Aulus' shoulder - the one Hayes hadn't grabbed - Paul wailed in terror and the certainty that he was going to soon be a very dead little spider.

Grunt Shadow obeyed nervously as Alba instructed him to hold the sleeve to Asch's wound. "Is he gonna be okay?" he asked, thinking it was probably too early to tell, but he couldn't help asking anyway. Glancing around for the Sky Plate, he took it from Conrad who was nudging it toward them and hid it against the inside of his long coat. At least he could shift the responsibility off the injured agent. "I didn't see any first aid," he answered unhelpfully, "But...I mean, don't we have a pokemon who can do something about this?" Maybe not. These guys were mostly meant for battle, it seemed, not healing.

Asch suddenly jolted awake, and cringed as he felt pain roaring in his head and flaring in his shoulder. The same damn shoulder that he'd been stabbed in before. He glanced around, paying no attention to the fact that something was being held against his head.
"Where's the plate?!" he demanded, his mind solely on the mission at hand and he didn't see it anywhere.
His hand also instinctively reaching for the source of the pain in his shoulder. Which happened to be a large shard of glass. Despite cutting his fingers in the process, he yanked it free. Causing that wound to bleed now as well.

"Whoa! Chill, dude! You're not in any state to be stressing out!" the grunt told Asch as the red-headed agent sat up. He attempted to keep the torn cloth pressed to the swordsman's head injury. "I have it. Don't worry about it. Just shut your trap and stop moving so much. You're losing more blood."
And that was when Asch chose to yank the shard out. "What the hell, man?! Didn't you hear anything I just said? Only an idiot would take something like that out without first-aid!" Now they were under even more pressure to find something before Asch bled to death from his wounds.

"Idiot!" Alba hissed through his teeth, smacking Asch's hand away. He glanced back at Shadow. "Yeah. I'd say he's okay. Now if he would just hold. still." Aha! Al knew he had brought some useful things. Superglue to the rescue. Without further ado, he tore through the clothing covering the now bleeding arm ("Arceus, does no one know how to teach the basics anymore?"). "One of you, keep this area clear. Haven't done this in a while, and I don't think you want a shirt glued to you for the next week."
