Welcome to Gaia! ::

"..s**t..." TRP winced as she came up on Seth. "Axel." She held up another Poke Ball and the shiny charizard appeared. "Azure, go find Sorano. You're going to have to be his ride out of here. I've got to help Seth."

The vaporeon nodded and took off back through the maddness to find the Rocket in question. Meanwhile, TRP stooped by Seth and put an arm around him in an attempt to help him over to Axel.

Horatio had managed to see the Vaporeon wandering around looking for his trainer and signaled to him. He beckoned Azure over towards the crate he was to return to after having his task complete. All the while, Sorano was mending his wound the best he could. Sure, the graze was shallow but it kept rippling about with blood. He managed to get the wound pretty stable before he heard a "Shup Shup!" in the distance.

Turning his head, Sorano carefully made his way over towards the other crate. He stumbled a little as he did so but safely made his way over to the Shuppet and Vaporeon. Withdrawing Horatio, he nodded his head at Azure.

"C'mon, le's git outta 'ere."

Addison looked quickly around at all the sheer chaos breaking out on the deck as she shifted anxiously behind a wall. Patches was now using the sound-proof headphones that she normally wore around her neck to shield his sensitive hearing from the deafening blasts. Addison had enough explosives to take out some of the cops, but the danger of risking friendly fire by tossing grenades into the fray was far too great. Besides, there was a Rocket Typhlosion who was already unleashing all Hell upon the enforcement officers. Her best bet now was to get off the ship ASAP.

She had just enough chord - a zip-line sort of material - that could slide them swiftly down the side of the boat without having to worry about the drop. The problem was getting to the side of the boat without getting shot. And there was alot of ground to cover between her and the railing.

Spotting the form of a crate that she could use as a makeshift, halfway barrier from the open fire, Addison tensed and waited for an opening. "Don't go A-wall on me now," she muttered under her breath to the panicked Eevee. She crouched down before bolting out from behind the wall and into the open. The five meters to the crate should've been short, but it felt like a mile away. She had nearly made it to cover when, within that instant, a loud gunshot sounded from behind her.
"Son of a bi--!" BOOM!

The grunt was suddenly propelled forward and skidded across the deck as a bullet shot through the left side of her abdomen and collided with one of the tiny explosives clipped to her belt, very briefly engulfing her left side in flame and blasting a good portion of flesh from her side while her left arm was scorched. The sudden impact had sent Patches flying off her shoulders, although fortunately, it had pushed them both behind the cover of the crates. The minuscule explosive hadn't been nearly large enough to knock her out, (it only seemed to have mainly damaged her forearm and the area between her hip and under her ribcage) however she was already slowing slipping into shock. "Sh*t,sh*t,sh*t,sh*t,sh*t," she hissed between pants, wincing and seething with pain at the searing feeling in her left side as her good arm tremblingly reached out and attempted to prop her up with a great deal of effort. "...Patches...?"

Patches slowly heaved himself up and shook his head shakily and turned around frantically for his trainer, only to see her doubled over, her left side traumatized by the minor flare explosive. "Vee-ee?" he gasped in horror, rushing to her side to take off her supply belt before any of the other explosive materials could ignite (thank Arceus they hadn't gone off too) and shoved it to the side before blinking in confusion at what seemed to be a dark fluid dripping from the girl's side. Was that oil from the explosive...?

"H-hey, Patches..." Addison laughed weakly as she slumped against the side of the crate and tightly wrapped her arm around her left side. "Figures I'd screw up on my first mission..."

That wasn't oil... it was blood.
The Eevee promptly began to whimper then wail loudly in distress.

Lilith heard the voice of Akemi calling. About time... She looked around for the woman, calling back. "Akemi! I'm here!" She held onto her bag for dear life as she saw a break in the bullets whizzing past and ran over to a crate across the way. Finally, she caught sight of Akemi with her Charizard. Relieved, Lilith ran as fast as she could.

Suddenly, Lilith felt a searing pain in her right shoulder. She cried out and her felt hand went up to it immediately. She felt blood. ]"s**t!" She gritted her teeth and ran to Akemi. "We have to go, now! I've been shot!"

As Panther got tossed overboard, Zach grabbed at him, catching his foot, but to no avail. Panther was a bit too heavy for Zach, and his weight caused Zach to fall off the boat as well, he fell down into the water, but unfortunately for Panther Zach landed right on Panther as he was coming up. *Sploosh~*

The color was draining out of his face, and he had broken into a sweat. Seth could feel his strength leaving him along with his blood.

With TRP's help, he managed to get to his feet.

"Its not as bad as it looks," he grunted to her.

---

Things were not looking good on Nikki's end either. Although the cop was distracted by a Pidgey, now Pidgeotto, this was not a good situation.

The cop tried to fend off the bird, only to slip on the ice the Glaceon had put out earlier... his gun firing off as he fell.

Then Hayes managed to find her, and scooped her up into his arms. The agent grimaced in pain, but did not complain. Well... much anyway.

"This is getting old," she muttered.

---

The chaos continued on the deck. With Pele continuing her onslaught. That is until she noticed Seth being moved. The Typhlosion then turned and quickly made her way over to her trainer and TRP.

"After them! Capture as many as you can!"

The cops streamed out from their hiding places and rushed for the Rockets. Shots still occasionally being fired.

"Hey, I can leave you if you want," Hayes laughed breathlessly as they headed for the back of the ship, rounding a slight turn in the hallway. "So who're we taking?" As the second shot punched through the wall, another red light beamed out.

"Pi!" Switch narrowly avoided being run over by Nemerle, who huffed at him in irritation. Keep up. The Pikachu's cheeks sparked; he increased speed and raced ahead of them, acting as a light source in the dim hall.

At the stairs Hayes paused; Switch looked at him expectantly. "If there's anyone up there, Discharge." "Chu." The Pokemon bounded ahead, and peered over the top step, ears twitching. Noise, noise and more noise, but it seemed to be heading away from them. He looked back and disappeared outside.

Taking that as an all clear, the agent headed up.

"Hey! What are you doing?! You can't lift her, get your a** off this boat!" Nyx scrambled over to Jen and Addison, clutching the first aid kit... there was no time for that though, the police were aiming to aquire them some prisoners. Nyx stuffed the kit back into her bag.

"Jen, take Addison's bag and GO! Ok, Addison... this is going to hurt. A lot." Nyx hooked her arms under Addison's, even the severely injured one, and started dragging her back and towards the ship's railings. They were going overboard, injuries or no. Getting caught was not an option, but if they didn't haul, that would be what happened. When they were close to the rail, Nyx released Beaker out into the water below.
