Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Si," he replied to Aila's question with a light chuckle, "quite eventful." He watched both of their pokemons' attacks connect with the lanky target - as well as a... Surf attack - hit him as well and took him and his Pidgeot out. Unlike Aila, he was fully prepared to give a high-five if it hadn't been for a pair of Whimsicott bumping into his leg. "Hola. Buen trabajo," he said to both as he pulled out their pokeballs. Neither of the cousins really knew what it was he'd just said, but he didn't sound mad - not that he ever did - so they ignored the comment. Inigo recalled the pair back into the confines of their pokeballs and had just clipped them back to his belt when a large Aggron came barreling over to Aila. Who he was standing right next to.

Before he could even respond, the large Meganium at his side gave a startled cry before she quickly pushed Inigo out of the way with her head, and he fell to the ground just before Acier knocked his trainer over. He pushed himself into a sitting position and rubbed the back of his head, giving Leilani a rueful half-smile before he recalled her as well. She didn't mean to give him a nice bump on the head - she was just being protective - so he couldn't be mad at her. As he stood, he turned to watch Aila return her own pokemon. "Guess he got a little excited?"

Chora let out a cry of amusement and triumph as her perch toppled over from her own dang pokemon. Ha ha! Of course, being a cat she landed on her feet, stuck out her tongue and scurried off to find Luxury.

Nioshii let out a pleased huff when the metal beast finally got rolling, shot a grin towards the Rocket inside and the Charizard, and bounded off to find his own Rocket girl. She would be soooo happy with him!

The two Eeveelutions snickered. Oh yeah, they were bad. Grinning at each other, they turned to find their owner. Trae was pretty much unhurt, though Nova was limping pretty bad. Her old bite wound was hurting her, her tail was all burnt and painful, and that Hyper Fang had left her in a lot more pain. She leaned on Trae as they made their way back.

Luxury was quite proud of her pokemon. She recalled Nioshii, Trae, and Chora into their balls, each receiving praise in turn, then knelt down by Nova. After checking her wounds, she ushered her pokemon on board the Yanmega, gave a quick lip-bitten smile to Agent Panther, and found the first aid kits on board. After taking care of the Umbreon she returned her to her ball and returned to the front of the machine to see if she could be of any use.

It took a great deal of combined effort, but at last the hangar was cleared of threats. Izaya glanced around for his pokemon, having tried to keep an eye on them while he had been engaged in the fight - mostly to defend himself and distract other Galactics. He evaded his opponent (Galactic 11)'s pokemon as a Bidoof was sent out, laughing aloud and ignoring the searing pain in his side for the time being.

It seemed the grunt (Galactic 10) that had been hit by Celty's Ominous Wind had retreated into a random vehicle. Luckily it wasn't the one Galactic 19 had chosen to hide in, since said Dunsparce vehicle itself was attacked by other pokemon, including Faleen's Charizard, since it was in the way of their escape. What a place to choose to hide.

After Mairu and Kururi had backed her up against a wall, Inigo's Bayleef, Lelani, had successfully taken down the blonde woman (Galactic 1) who seemed to be in charge. She'd done it with a single Solarbeam, too, which greatly impressed the twin purrloin. Thankful to their fellow Rocket pokemon, the girls gratefully frolicked to Lelani's side to purr against her affectionately.

Of course that was beofre their wounded and annoyed trainer discovered them. "There you are! Mairu, Kururi - what the hell are you doing? Return!" Pressing the buttons on the Repeat Balls, he retrieved the felines and nodded in thanks to Inigo. Argh, he hated being indebted to people... Perhaps he had snatched the twins up just in time, though, because not long after, Lelani had launched another Solarbeam at some target behind him.

Izaya noticed that a few of the other Rockets - namely Panther, Faleen, and Hayes - seemed to be headed for the aircrafts rather than focusing on the large-scale battle. Wishing he had thought of the same thing rather than having been spiteful enough to attack the other Galactic grunt, he hurried after them. The Galactic who'd originally attacked him was soon caught by Panther's Shadow's Confuse Ray, which caused him to knock himself out by walking into a wall. It seemed Faleen's Absol hadn't even needed to attack.

Recalling a bewildered Celty, who seemed stunned by the chaos surrounding her, Izaya glanced back at the parked Galactic jets before noticing that the others had decided to go for a Yanmega mech instead. Not wanting to get left behind, the informant followed suit. Faleen's voice was soon coming through their communicators to confirm their nearing departure time. Nakura cranked up the speed.

Mau's plan to park the Dunsparce at the doors worked well. Wedged against the only exit, it would be a while before any Galactics came bursting in. Just as the Galactic finished parking, he turned to look at Mau and was rewarded with a blow to the head. "Buh..." He flopped over on the floor.

Nyx saw Faleen enter the Yanmega followed by other Rockets, and it certainly looked like it'd suit their needs, but looks could be deceiving with Deimos. They had to be sure. The elite scanned the room and noticed a particular someone laying in a soggy heap across the room. The large Aggron that Star had dropped from a crane flanked Nyx as she walked over. A case clicked open and snapped shut as the fluffy haired scientist approached. "Star." She held a syringe in one hand, and looked calmly at him.

Star's everything hurt. Though he wasn't unconscious, he didn't feel inclined to move. Over the ringing in his ears the solar beam had left, he heard his name. "Nnngh.." He lifted his head and opened his eyes enough to look up at the figure approaching him. His eyes widened when he saw that it was Nyx, brandishing a syringe and accompanied by the Aggron that had chased him earlier.

He glanced around. Seeing that there were no nearby Galactics to help him, he gasped and pushed himself to his hands and knees to scramble backward. This was made difficult by the fact one of his hands was still tangled up in a sling. Scream saw this and climbed back to his feet, soggy feathers weighing him down. He looked ready to attack but was recalled by his master in a flash of red light. Without flight, the Aggron would murder the Pidgeot. That was the last note Star needed to end the day on.

"Oh good. You aren't dead." Nyx eyed the pidgeot as it started to defend its master and was promptly return to its pokeball. The elite walked slowly along as Star went further back. "I wanted the pleasure of killing you myself." Nyx snapped her fingers and the aggron moved rather quickly for a steel-covered lizard, grabbing up Star and turning to face her master.

Star tried to jerk away and yelped as he was hauled roughly off the ground by the metal monster. "No please!" His voice was loud and desperate. He tried to struggle free and got nowhere, "I'll do anything!! Please don't kill me!"" His wide eyes were fixed on the syringe in Nyx's hand. All the posturing and smugness had drained out of him. With no bravery to fill their place all he had left was fear.

"Why shouldn't I?" Nyx flicked the needle point a few times.

The dangling Galactic looked on the verge of tears. "The Braviary wasn't my fault!!" He insisted, "I was just following orders! I'll tell you anything you want. I'll tell you where Deimos is! Anything you ask! P-please just don't hurt me.." He whimpered, still watching the needle.

"You really take all the fun out of this..." Nyx sighed. Star was pathetic. There was no fight in him. Tormenting him was sort of like kicking a puppy... a really yippy ankle-biter who you wanted to kick, but found once you did that it really wasn't as satisfying as you'd hoped. "Which one of these things is the fastest?"

Star pulled his eyes off the needle to look around the room. He lifted his good hand to point at the Yanmega. It seemed Faleen had made the right choice.

"Any first aid kits or restoratives on board?" Some people were injured, such as Mau, who Star had turned into a sort of pin cushion, and some pokemon too.

"Y-yes." Star nodded, confirming what Luxury already knew, "And there's more kits stored over there. Enough for your whole team!" He pointed at a large metal cabinet near the Yanmega. It had a number pad near the handle, "The passcode is 9786." His wide eyes shifted back to Nyx. His expression was both desperate and hopeful.

"Hm." Nyx put the syringe away, but instead of releasing Star, promptly punched him in the face as hard as she could. It was the elite's signature 'Chairman Punch', but used on the galactic instead of the poor old man. "Alright, get those supplies and get them in the Yanmega. We're leaving." Nyx turned from her Aggron, who dropped Star, and grinned as she made her way into the pokemon-jet.

The pink haired elite was simply observing at this point, watching as the various grunts and agents tended to various duties they took on. There might have been a bit of distance between herself and Elite Agent Nyx, but she was able to watch the exchange. Body language was a powerful tool and it told Kunai more than the words she couldn't hear. This Galactic had no spine at all. After the exchange, the short Elite merely gave Nyx a nod of approval for the tactics she had taken in the situation. Kunai wasn't the sort to give compliments readily, so the nod was perhaps the closest Nyx would get for now.

For any unfortunate souls that might have been taking their time getting to the Yanmega, they were probably shortly greeted with a very displeased Kunai. "You heard the order! Stop slacking and do as you were told!"

1337 just happened to be one of those slackers. He hadn't even really fought in the confrontation, since things seemed to be well handled in his opinion. Instead he had given himself a tour of the hangar, staying close to whatever things had caught his interest earlier when he had driven the Dunsparce into the ship. It seemed as if he was mentally taking notes on some of the design qualities, but occasionally he'd pause and glance to the Rotom that was lingering nearby. Hearing a familiar nagging voice, he whined out "...but I don't wanna..." Something about his tone didn't sound sincere.

"Get in the Yanmega..." Her tone was even, as if she had told herself she was not going to let 1337's behavior get the best of her right now. They still had lots of work to do.

For a minute, there was a completely silent stand off, the girl glaring at the hacker and the hacker seeming to stare at her (though one could never know with him). Eventually he recalled his Pokemon and began to make his way to the Yanmega.

((Slightly backdated))
The Meganium crooned at the two Purrloin that rubbed against her legs before. She loved adorable little pokemon! Inigo offered Izaya a nod and a lop-sided grin back as a greeting before he pointed Leilani to Star so she could shoot the Solarbeam at him.

((now~))
"Ah, muy cierto," he replied with a light chuckle as he clipped Leilani's pokeball to his belt. "I guess they both do. And yeah, she's always excited. About everything." Another chuckle, but his expression sobered slightly. Very slightly. "Oh, si, I'm fine, just bumped my head. What about you?" He asked, looking his friend over but mostly focusing on her knees and hands as he started heading towards the Yanmega. Being knocked over by an Aggron didn't seem appealing at all.

The last of the adrenaline whooshed out of Agent Panther's shoulders. He reached up to lower sunglasses that weren't there as he looked at Shadow. "She's right. Later Shadow."

The haunter deflated as much as his trainer did as he and then Shade were returned. Panther didn't figure on them needing to be out. He sat at the controls and studying them. That lever there was probably the brakes, that button was the propulsion, and the steering, was it pull back go up or push down go up? he'd have to test it. He looked up and gave Luxury a small wave and a smile. She didn't look half bad for a first mission. He did a quick survey on who was in the plane and looked back at the controls reaching out to touch but not move anything yet. Take offs and landings were the hardest.

Nyx looked rather pleased with herself, and grinned at the nod from Kunai, keeping the grin as she basically sauntered onto the yanmega, taking Faleen's hand to help her up. "I missed everyone else, too." After she was on board, Nyx offered her hand to the injured Mau to help him onto the jet as well.
