As Alba started to freak out a little, Asch pulled himself to his feet and looked around. There were Pokemon everywhere, and they couldn't just leave them there. However, the agent stumbled, dizzy from the blow to his head and having to brace himself against a wall.
"We have to get the Pokemon and get out of here, fast," he said in answer to Alba's question. There was no telling when the proper authorities would be here. They'd wasted a lot of time fighting the Galactics. He was surprised they hadn't gotten there yet.
Havoc was returned to his ball as Asch frowned, trying to stay focused. The pain and the disorientation was making things difficult.
Pulling his Rocketdex from his side, Asch used the comm system to call the jet's pilot. "Stephen, fly over the museum and pick us up, quickly."

As the... metal snake appeared, Lasi and Pygi were rather understandably alarmed as it suddenly coiled around Tambrey's legs. It was moving too fast for an attack to be much good, plus their trainer was kind of dangling from it.
Tambrey, at least, seemed to realize this as she was being whizzed, upside down, toward the craft above. Somewhere among the startled yelp was the command for the two flying types that she could see to return.
Then, the three of them, like most of the other Rockets, were gone.
Neph was busy trying to shoot String Shots at the ship when the snakes happened. They were far too fast for her to hit and then she watched, infuriated, as the giant beast stole her trainer and several other humans. What? No. No. She was not being reassigned to yet another dirty ape. She tried another String Shot uselessly and seemed to huff as everyone was suddenly gone. Feh.
Who was left? Looking down she could see a red-headed human and an older one. They'd have to do.
She made her way down, aiming to land in front of the older one and demand to be taken home.
Ella stared and cried out, trotting toward the acending cables as they dragged the Rockets upwards. Come back! o.o They had Tambrey and they were leaving without the Aron! What was she supposed to do without direction? She needed her trainer and the friends in those pokeballs! The little Aron had abandoned eating the door to look up, distressed at where the team had gone. She looked around at everyone left... Two humans, some pokemon. Ah, at least she still had Neph? It wasn't a huge comfort, somehow.

"Pika!" A chalk-white Pikachu bounded over to the remaining humans. Switch had been by Hayes when the ceiling came down, but had missed the steel cables that had ratcheted his human away. Now he pulled himself free of the debris and half-bounded, half-limped over to Alba and Asch, green eyes bright and alarmed. "'kachu!"
Nemerle was frantic, huffing and whipping her spaded tail as she paced and picked her way around fallen bits of glass as she stared at the gaping hole in the ceiling, but Darwin - with a determined look in his beady eyes - took off with a powerful downstroke of his wings and rose above the wreckage,
Over by the ruined display case, a Pokeball that had been knocked free wobbled and released its contents. Hayes? a little star-shaped creature chirped.

Alba took some deep breaths. Right, this was no time to panic. He nodded to the ground, setting his resolve and clenching his jaw. "Yes, sir. Spook, check on the other Pokemon; get them all regrouped. Trick- Ehhh, just keep watch on the doors. Freak out any security that gets too close." Oh, Trick was going to enjoy a task like that.
Spook saluted as best she could with her stubby arms, and hoped/floated away to round up the Pokemon that had been left behind. Trick melted into the shadows by the door. Alba, meanwhile, tore off his other jacket sleeve, and proceeded to shred, wrap, and tie it around the leg wound, leaving the glass in for the time being.
He stilled when he heard a small voice. Almost like... Azdeif? Except, turning to look, it wasn't Azdeif. Oh, this was not going to be easy.

Cappuccino's eyes beaded with tears, "COTT! WHIMSICOTT!!! She shouted at the starry sky.
"Whims..." Looking worried, Espresso put a small hand on his sister's shoulder. "Whimsicott." He nodded at her, then gestured at the remaining humans. Lore would want them to help.
"Whim.." Cappuccino sniffled and nodded back. The pair approached Asch and Alba, ready to follow orders.
When Lucy recovered from the blow to the head and found his master (and most everyone else) gone he thankfully didn't react by going into a rage. Instead, he glanced around, eyes wide and growled in confusion.
A minute after Asch's call, the hum of their jet sounded overhead and the vehicle came into view, hovering over the gaping ceiling. A ladder dropped down into the middle of the room.

Hayes! Alphard spotted blond hair and glasses across the room and winked out; the next instant the little legendary blipped in just above Alba's head and dropped down onto the man's hair. Hayes? A puzzled little frown pulled the Jirachi's mouth down as it tilted its head to study the silvery blond - not sandy blond - hair. No, it concluded in a disappointed voice.
Alphard rose up, looking around again.

When the jet appeared and the ladder descended, Asch looked at Alba. "Go and get some balls for the larger Pokemon to be contained in." He would probably be able to climb faster than he could at the moment. Plus the fact that he was currently in charge.
"The Pokemon that can climb or fly, get into that jet!"
The agent then groaned and leaned against the wall, clutching his shoulder. Damn his luck.

Just as Shadow had recalled the feline twins, he felt something contrict his movements. The 'hooks' that Deimos had ordered had shot down from the ship and one of them caught Shawn in the back, wrapping around his waist. "H-hey! What the hell is this? You morons, what do you think you're doing? HEY!" he called, shouting, fighting, and swearing the whole way as he was dragged. The teen was filled with an overbearing dread as he was helplessly abducted, along with most of the other Rockets, into the Galactic ship.
"Celty!" he called. "Find Nakura!" She was his pokemon, after all. At least the older grunt would know Shawn hadn't run off with his pokemon. He still planned to keep them safe and out of Galactic clutches no matter what. The teen shoved the twin repeat balls into his coat pocket as best he could, his arms pinned to his sides with the cords before he disappeared into the aircraft with the others.
When Celty's job had been done, she'd turned, only to be separated from others by falling rubble and artifacts. She couldn't find the grunt Izaya had leant her to, nor could she find Xander or Tambery. Just when she saw Mairu and Kururi being recalled by Grunt Shadow, however, she also witnessed the cords come down and grab for the people like so many pokemon. With a look of terror, the horrified Celty was reminded of the alien abduction movies she used to watch at night and was scared stiff. Were the aliens invading?!
But Shadow's voice snapped her out of her trance. She wanted to help him, but he told her to go find her original trainer. Why? Did the child think he could handle things? Well, at the very least, he was with his other teammates, so hopefully they would be okay. Celty had to have faith in them.
Meanwhile, she heard the weak voices of Asch and Alba, along with many of the pokemon like herself who had been left behind. Going to each one, she tried to see if she was needed anywhere and making a mental note to use Rest on the way back home. Bro the Gengar seemed like he would need extra comforting, considering just how close Celty knew he was to Jerome.
