Seth just grunted in reply to TRP, otherwise shutting up and hauling himself onto the Charizard. The elite slumped over, still clutching his side as blood oozed out between his fingers.
"Pele..." he called the Typhlosion, just before she disappeared in a flash of light. Axel then carried them into the sky.
--
Several of the cops were caught in the fire spin. But a few were still going after the Rockets.
"Freeze!" An officer shouted, leveling a gun at Jen, while another did the same at Nyx and Addison.
--
Nikki just huffed at Hayes, grimacing in pain as he ran with her. "You wouldn't dare."
However, she reached for a pokeball as they made their way up the stairs. And once on deck, she released Darkfeather.
"Geeeot!" The dark Pidgeot shrieked with wings outstretched. The avian quickly taking note of what was going on.

Worried was a severe understatement for what Patches was experiencing right now. No, he was going through a mental break down. The cops starting moving in closer, most of the Rockets were already getting off the boat, and Addison was only becoming more and more delusional as the blood spilled out.
Addison tried to give her pack to Patches and tell him to get out while he still could, but he fought back sobs and only pushed the bag back into her hands and shook his head. Then she'd start murmuring something about "catch a falling Starmie, put it in your pocket, save it for a sunny day."
Great Arceus, she wasn't making any sense!!!!
He began to run back and forth near the crates, wailing in desperation. It couldn't end like this!
The Eevee paused as Yamir flew over and began stammering. <P-p-please help us!!> he wailed before scrambling around the boxes again to look for a way off the boat, shrieking in terror as more bullets flew in their direction.
Addison blinked wearily up at Jen and smirked weakly. "Nah... leave me behind. I'll blow this sucker outta the water once y'all are off. Gonna be lit up like the fourth of July..." she mused with a light-headed chuckle.
She blinked as Nyx came over and grit her teeth to suppress growling in pain as she was dragged. "W-wait, do I gotta say in this bein'-left-here-to-die-or-be-thrown-over-the-edge ordeal?" she croaked.

Yamir crouched down to the little eevee and stared at him with confident violet eyes. the Pidgeotto took a quick galnce at the cops and his human before returning his attention back to Patches.
Jen stared at her pokemon flew off with their bounty before glaring at cop and the gun in his hand. "To hell with you, b*****d!" The cop only seems to grow more angry as she crouched down by Addison. "We dont leave comrades behind, Addison. Try to hang on as long as you can. We'll be back at base soon..." As she spoke, Jen's hand (her good hand) slipped into the pouch on her belt and pulled out those empty pokeballs she had brought along. Looks like they were going to get some use after all.
"HEY BASTARDS! Try these!"
Jumping back to her feet and wincing at the pain in her arm, Jen threw all four of the pokeballs at the officers infront of them with as much strength as she could muster.

(( I'm adding this in, cause I have to flee! This is the last post from me! G'night! ))
Seth, who sat behind TRP, groaned a bit as Axel continued to circle over the ship.
He was losing quite a bit of blood, and slumped against TRP, his good hand resting against her leg.
"Pele..." he muttered, his speech slurred slightly indicating that he was probably delusional.
"Pele... I... always thought... you were pretty."

 She listened to Addison's string of complaints about not being able to blow herself up. "Nope." As the two officers leveled guns at them, Nyx shoved Addison overboard. She wasn't lying. This was going to hurt. At least Beaker was waiting for someone down below. The instant Addison was taken away by gravity, Nyx grabbed two balls from her belt and threw them at the police officers. Out popped an eevee and a pidgey, both aimed at either cop's faces.

"Whatever you want." The agent had a half-smile - a bit wan, but with a shadow of his usual good humor. She was conscious and she was talking. He didn't really care about the content.
"Pi." Switch's cheeks crackled with distaste for the chosen ride; he turned a look up at Hayes. Dude. Seriously?
"Hey," the blond greeted the avian as he approached, cradling the giant bird's trainer in his arms. Getting near the Pokemon was chancy, but Darkfeather graciously did not maul him as he helped Nikki onto the bird's back, then recalled his Pokemon and sat behind her with an arm around Nikki, steadying her as the bird took off.

Just as he came up from the water, a body landed on him, pushing him back under. As if the fall wasn't bad enough. He chocked on some water, and came back up, bleeding from the top of his head where he took most of the impact. He coughed a few more times, trying to clear his lungs once again. Thinking wasn't very easy at the moment, but kicking his feet was. "Zach, you are an idiot." he managed to spit out between coughs. There was something he was supposed to do, but at the moment he couldn't think of it.

 As more Rockets splashed into the water Azure made a sharp turn. She'd be able to drag at least one or two more Rockets along with Sorano. "Por!" She called out as she paddled toward Nyx and the others, ready for anyone in need of a ride to latch on.
TRP arched an eyebrow at Seth's garbled comments, "...hang in there.. we'll be home soon.." As Axel came around for another pass over the boat TRP scanned the deck for any remaining Rockets.

 Still clutching her wound in her shoulder, Lilith ran along the deck, dodging behind crates. No sight of Akemi anywhere. "Arceus dammit..." She looked around wildly. There was hardly anyone left. She needed to get off. Fast. Lilith caught sight of TRP and Seth. She ran over to them and looked to the water. A few other grunts were in the water with one of TRP's Pokemon. She looked to the Elites desperately. "Can it take one more?"

Zach managed to get himself off Panther and started dogpedaling in the water. Giving Panther a reproachful look he said "Yeah well, wait until I'm off the steps before dragging me somewhere next time." he said. "Oh, and I overheard the cops say to capture whoever they could, which probably means the people still on the boat, so you might be better off helping them. I should be fine on my own from here."
Fortunately for Zach, he had maintained the presence of mind to keep hold of his bag of pokeballs and swam on his back with them on his chest, backpedaling his way out of the area.
He noticed Aisu standing where he had fallen off, looking distraught, and said, "Come down here and give me a hand Aisu." She nodded, jumping off carefully... "Wait! Not on top of... Gah." ...right on top of Panther's head.
Then jumping from his head right into the water and dogpaddling up to Zach. Zach covered his face with his palm. "Damnit Aisu..."

Akemi had managed to climb onto Hikari then, and the Charizard rose into the air as the girl tried to hold herself together, and keep her eyes focused as she searched for Lilith.
"Ah! Lilith! Over here! Grab my hand, I'll.. pull you on!" she called out as she stopped at the edge of the deck, right by the Grunt. The pain was becoming unbearable, they really needed to pull out now.
She grabbed the other girl by the arm then, using all of her strength to pull her on the back of the Charizard before they took off into the sky, taking a detour to HQ to make sure they wouldn't be followed. Akemi was starting to feel her consciousness slipping away, but she held onto Hikari's neck and tried to make sure Lilith wouldn't fall off either.
"We'll.. be alright.. k..?"

Lilith heard Akemi's voice and looked around. She saw the grunt on her Charizard and they were getting ready to take off. She reached up her hand and grabbed onto Akemi's arm as they took off into the sky. As she was being pulled up, another bullet sped right into her left knee. The splitting pain almost made her lose her grip as she gritted her teeth. Finally, she clambered her way onto the Charizard beside Akemi. She gasped for breath as she felt the wounds in her shoulder and knee. Hanging on tight to Hikari's neck, she looked over to Akemi, who was quickly losing consciousness. "Hold on, Akemi, we'll be there soon. They can't track us up here..." She paused. "...I hope."

When TRP saw that Lilith had found a ride with Akemi she nodded and pulled Axel up further from the ship, avoiding a firing police officer. One by one all of the Rockets were making their escape.
Azure paddled in circles beside the boat several times, ensuring anyone else who needed a ride had a chance to latch on. Finally, the vaporeon squinted her eyes and rapidly paddled her finned tail, zooming away from the scene, off to the safety of open sea.
Once all the airborne Rockets had gone TRP recalled Loki and guided Axel out toward the ocean over the Rockets clinging to their water Pokemon. "Follow me!" She shouted below to them, keeping an eye on the group to ensure nobody lost hold of their ride.
For the long journey northwest Axel's burning tail remained a beacon in the sky over the Rockets and their water Pokemon. Finally, once they'd come far enough to be sure nobody'd followed, TRP led the group to shore. Axel soared lower as they came upon the beach before landing. TRP was already speaking into her Pokedex, giving their location to a team at HQ.
"Transport will be here soon.." She nodded at the group, doing her best to look encouraging. The mission had turned to anarchy and failure at the end, yes. But this wasn't the time to lay into the battered Rockets. There were some serious injuries here and being yelled at wasn't going to help. The Elite maintained a professional air as she did her best to tend to the wounded, using the little field medic training she had.
It wasn't long before the headlights of three large black SUVs appeared in the distance, crawling over the desert sand. It was their transport team. When the SUVs pulled to a stop several Agents piled out to assist with the wounded. They were efficient and quick, loading the team up in a matter of seconds.
As the fist glimpses of sun peeked over the eastern sky the cars pulled into the underground garage at HQ. Medical staff was already waiting to wheel the injured to the infirmary, where those who arrived by air would already be waiting.

Nyx finally managed to dump Addison over the railing, and with Yamir flying overhead and out of sight, Jen did a quick scan of the deck to make sure no one else was hanging around before turning to make a leap of faith herself over the edge.
"HEY YOU! STOP!"
The grunt didnt stop. As she was about to spring off, gunshots rang out and the next thing Jen knew, everything went white before fading to a painless black. Bullets from the guns behind her had ripped into her back and bad arm, some almost hitting her in the spine.
Her body tumbled over the side and landed in the water below with a loud splash. Overhead, Yamir was crying out in panic and rage at the sight. He was half-tempted to tear the cops apart himself, but saw his human's friend and her pokemon in the water as well as the vaporeon. He could even see the truck approaching in the distance. Somehow...things would be fine.

As Jen tumbled overboard, Nyx swung herself under the railing and dove feet first into the water. Addison was draped over the Vaporeon, so Beaker quickly dove after Jen. Bunsen and Langley detached themselves from the officer's faces and scurried between crates and over the side of the ship. Bunsen doggie-paddled back to Nyx and was quickly returned to her ball. Langley flew overhead, near Yamir. "Jen!" Nyx swam frantically after Beaker and her friend, who were swimming away from the ship and following TRP. "Jen!" Nyx was having some trouble, not herself being a water pokemon, but eventually she got close enough to grab on to her Squirtle too. She noticed that her friend was unconscious. "Jen, wake up!" The trail of blood in the water behind them seemed to hint that waking up wouldn't be something that would be happening for a good while. Nyx was worried and tears were starting to sting her eyes, along with the salt water, but they couldn't exactly stop in the middle of the ocean to administer first aid. Eventually, TRP led them to shore. ((See Dante's post))
