Welcome to Gaia! ::

It took her a moment to register with that just happened. glancing down to watch the Dusk ball fly away and land in the lava pit.
... she took a couple of steps back again, disappointed that had failed so quickly. the Ho'oh was out of range by now for another try...
Not deaf to Seth's order to grab feathers, Faleen just didn't have a way to get feathers. from what she saw a few pokemon and Rockets had managed to snag a few for the team anyway.
At least they did get -something- even if it burned her that Galactic seemed to be getting away with this!

"Damn it!" Nyx cursed as the air craft got further and further away, eventually outrunning them altogether. At least Langley got two talonfulls of feathers... She dug her heels into one side of the bird and directed him around and back down into the volcano, back to the ledge with her team mates. She sighed and rubbed her temples once Langley landed.

Then something occurred to her: "You know... Ho-Oh eggs can probably survive volcanic temperatures. We should check if it is still down there. An egg would be just as useful to us." Plus, they wouldn't go home empty handed with nothing to show for all of their wounded.

Seth too watched with barely restrained fury as the Galactic ship rose out of the volcano and vanished with the Ho-oh. A string of curses being uttered from his lips. What the HELL was that all about? However, Nyx's comment drew the elite's attention.

"Do it." He told her. If they could find the egg, that would at least give them something better than a sack of feathers and several injured Rockets, when they returned.

Seth's white Salamence landing upon the ledge with a mouthful of tail feathers also.

One would almost wonder if the pink haired girl's green eyes were capable of staring kunai knives as well as daggers. It almost looked as if she was trying to as the Dragonite flew further and further away, with that Galactic's gloat being the last thing to reach her ears.

The only thing to snap her out of her funk was when her only acknowledged partner floated in front of her sights, settling down onto the ledge. Floating around him in an almost arranged manner were the feathers it had gathered.

Turning to face the other Elite after a momentary up-and-down of her property (the mewtwo), she gave the mental command Assist Seth in gathering the rest of the feathers for now.

She heard the scientist's suggestion, and Kunai immediately replied "Do you have any Pokemon that can swim to the very bottom of the volcano?" Yes, a fire type would be able to last for a while, but even a fire type could only hold their breath for so long. None could accuse the shorter of the Elite pair of being an optimist.

Faleen had no fire types that would be able to help in this situation. the two she had with her now... one wanted to kill her, and the other she had just captured, she wasn't sure how useful it would be.

She wasn't sure what she could do at the moment to lend assistance, so for now she just stayed out of the way until there was something she could do.
Instead she took this time to check on Aila and see is Nikki was doing okay.

Damon felt a brief thrill when the Confuse Ray successfully hit the Gliscor, although it didn't seem like it contributed much in the end. The Pokemon likely would've been dazed even without his attacks, and it was really no surprise to see it attacking in a random direction. What was surprising was seeing the attack coming in his direction, and before the Grunt had a chance to think about what he was doing he brought his right arm up to shield himself.

The reaction was instantaneous. An intense agony abruptly made itself known right along the outside of his arm, and for a moment he lost track of what was going on. All he knew was pain more acute than anything he'd experienced in his life, and it seemed like every sense was honing in on this fact. You are in pain, pull your arm close to your body and support it. Don't move. Moving is bad. Moving means pain and pain is your enemy.

His two Pokemon were at his side instantly, battle forgotten, and he was quick to return them with his left hand. They couldn't do much and oh crap moving hurt, support your arm.

On the surface, it didn't look bad. A mild abrasion at best, but he could feel what little energy he had left sapping away. Crap, could he even get poisoned? Not that it mattered now. Team Galactic was getting away, and suddenly Damon had to fight down the overwhelming urge to pick up a rock and chuck it as hard as he could in the direction of the ninjask. The very thought of it made him feel moderately better, and he stepped back as the other grunts scrambled in an attempt to retrieve the egg.

At this point, he was useless. He had one fire type, and even then it was too small to be any help and freshly caught. The most he could do was stand back and try not to be in the way.

Glancing back, hearing the conversation the Elite were having, she blinked softly a couple of times.
It seemed obvious to go after the egg, it was just to great of a prize for Team Rocket to pass up... especially after the defeat they just suffered.
-not- going after the egg, knowing they would at least try would be a failure.

The movement of her pokemon moving toward her drew her attention. reaching out with he ronly usable hand, she touched Umbreon's head, before returning her Three pokemon to their balls.

Seth growled lowly as he clenched his teeth and fists, but said nothing. He would let it drop... for today. What was important was getting that egg if they could. And they might as well forget about 300% from Kunai herself. Losing his temper wasn't going to help them in this situation.

Darkfeather remained by his fallen trainer, giving Hayes the evil eye as he moved elsewhere.

Seth merely grunted at the agent, before speaking. "Keep seeing to the wounded, and pack up. As soon as we find that egg, if we find it, we're getting out of here." Needless to say he'd worked up quite a sweat by now, being in all this heat. The elite himself remained by the edge, surveying the lava below as he watched Pele dive.
