Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ruchii blinked over at Luna, and her eyes narrowed. "I dunno... If Team Rocket cloned a whole bunch of Eevee, wouldn't we have seen some of these Eevee by now?" She looked towards Kacen briefly before nodding. She looked forward to Luna briefly again, before glancing around the group. "Yeah, I'll help. Let's go get 'em!"

Cloned Eevees... it was unexpected but not entirely unbelievable. Rhia looked around, almost as if expecting another psychic message, then followed the stream of trainers towards the inn. No doubt a battle would be forthcoming-- even if they were surprised, the Grunts weren't about to let them just take the Eevee away.

Rhia ran a hand over the two Pokeballs in her pocket. She needed a way to attach them to a belt or something. The absent though was brushed away by the rush of worry over the upcoming struggle. Aimee couldn't fight, and Rhia was loathe to let the Buneary out when they were about to fight Team Rocket, the very people that she had been rescued from. Rhia wouldn't let them take her. She'd have to be dead or unconscious first. Besides, Castor was the more offensive Pokemon. She wrapped her fingers around his Pokeball and squeezed. She wished to whatever force had warned her that no one would get hurt. Well, no one on their side anyway.

Luna's anti-climactic entrance wasn't all that startling to Rhia. She was beyond suspicion at this point and into full-blown paranoia. She pulled her hand-- and Castor's Pokeball-- out of her pocket in preparation, her muscles tense.

"Do you think... the innkeeper was in on it?" Her mind raced and she asked a little louder, though it was directed mostly to Oyumi, "Do you think everyone left in town sided with Team Rocket? How else could they not know what was going on right under their noses?"

She inhaled sharply and lowered her voice to a murmur. "Or they were all Team Rocket in disguise." She grabbed at Oyumi's tunic. "That might be how the man went missing. They weren't on break, they handed him over to Team Rocket themselves!"

Tabitha wrinkled her nose slightly at the news, Team Rocket...? Here? Tapping the pokeballs at her hip, she glanced down at Rainier. "Ready to go boy?"

"Myaaaa~" The meowth yowled puffing out.

Kaskia shouldn't have been surprise about how everyone what to help, but she was still little. She give a faint smile, about how everyone cared. She picked up Eldur, to give him some height see he could see what will be coming. "You'll do great," she whisper, following Luna and the others.

Sir seemed to flare, in an excited way, at the suggestion that they take down all of the Rockets at the Inn, while Jenn checked her bag over quickly. She was waiting for Luna to start the charge, or something like that at least. As they all migrated over to the Inn, she watched the Gymleader find, well, no one. Things weren't looking to good. And where was anyone from town, were they all kidnapped? Maybe that's where that Raichu's owner was...

@Khyr:

"No worries, Hattia." With that, Kayla called out Hea, the Griafarig along with Adira, the shiny rampardos. "I will have Hea keep guard on ya. All you need to do is keep those rocket's distracted."

Kayla turned to Adira. "You know what to do. Remember, no dead bodies, okay?" Adira huffed in annoyance and kept her distance from water pokemon but nodded in understanding.

"Snookie, you stay with me." Kayla told the happy-go-lucky Dragonite.

Freeedoooomm!

Streaming out ahead of Lumina were a myriad of villagers, the ones who had resisted Team Rocket's initial advances upon the town. She stumbled out with the crowd, blinking at the fresh air and others that surrounded them. She was hit by an onslaught of emotions, but decided that now wasn't the time to work them over and instead settled for a relieved grin.

She paused, looking around and wondering where the captured clones would be moved to.

"So we were locked up, then we escaped, then we got the codes, then we found out about the eevees, then the villagers," Lumina said, not really sure who to. She just wanted to get that off her chest.

Corn came thundering out of the basement with the rest of the captured trainers, scowling fiercely at any town resident in sight. Being captured had been the low point of a low day, and it was time to get some catharsis out of this incident!
