Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Good, I'll hang here and extract what I can out of this dude." Sub said as he poked the thug in the head. "The rest of you go on into the tunnel and see what's going on down there, clean the place out." The leader commanded. "You won't get away with this! Do you know who we are!? The boss will ruin you!" The thug shouted. "Hush up, I'll get what I need out of you soon enough." He said to the thug. "Get going, guys."

Kaya had indeed headed deeper into the tunnel, calling out Ballast, the little Bug-type's glowing rump keeping light up a bit as they descended into the dimly lit corridor that was the underground path.

Lykas, seeing that Reno and Leslie had taken care of the guard, decided to head in as well. A bit of acrobatics later and he'd jumped back in through the window, walking down the stairs at an easy pace.

As the fates of the two young Trainers grew dimmer than the tunnel they found themselves, a shimmering light would envelop their friends, protecting the Rattata from physical blows whilst shielding the Nidorina from special attacks.

"How DARE you attempt to overwhelm two innocent trainers!" Keiko yelled, with Aster and Cerberus at her sides. "I won't let you get away with such underhanded tactics! Aster, make them pay!"

Keiko's Ledian nodded before flying above the two young trainers and tossing star-like projectiles at the Pokemon belonging to the four black-clad trainers at a fast pace, simulating a storm of arrows.

A sudden tapping on the shoulder of all four of the thugs would reveal reno and Leslie standing behind the thugs, Kaiden sitting behind them holding a few rocks in midair, church having made four pointed spears to aim at each of the thugs and Nova igniting the air with fire as they all stared down the thugs, Snapping his nightstick to full length, Reno simply uttered, "I would recommend surrender, wouldn't you, Leslie?" "Of course. With all the firepower facing them down, it would be suicide." Leslie quipped, smirking as an evil glimmer shone off of her glasses.

Keiko's squeamish side began to show as the weird energy filling the area made it hard to stay in place. Keiko fell on her back end pretty quickly.

She wasn't completely robbed of her senses, however, so when the Gyro Ball began to spin, she was acutely aware of it. "Oh, no! Aster, use Mach Punch to stop that ball!"

Aster obeyed his mistress and lunged at the Weezing, but his normally fast move began to be slowed down, as if reacting to his inertia like molasses. He was a sitting duck out there.

Weezing would (hopefully) destroy the rocks, but wouldn't get a chance to harm their conjurer. Its rampage was put to a sudden halt as the Volbeat punched it, sending the poison bag reeling back in the air. "Hey! That thing is easy pickings! Drowzee, Psybeam!" One of the thugs commanded as his Drowzee shot a rainbow colored beam of energy at Aster from its nose. The Houndour and Sandslash were a little slow to react for now, but they were getting there. "Swift, spray 'em!" Sandslash's owner ordered. "Roar, bark away the weak ones!" Houndour's said. The Sandslash would slowly begin to fire off an array of stars, each of the stars slowly moving in different directions. The Houndour didn't need speed as it began to bark, hoping to scare away weak Pokemon or intimidate them.

Reno and Leslie were slow to react, the two of them seeming to manage to be effected the worst. Reno pointed to Kaiden before mouthing, "Teleport!" The group disappeared to a point outside of the strange mass of energy, the trainers staring into the strange area before deciding to do the simplest thing. "Start throwing rocks at them. Hopefully the slow movement will get a little...acceleration from the Trick Room reversing speeds." Leslie uttered, picking up a few hunks of rock and tossing them towards the trainers in command. Kaiden used Telekinesis to pick up larger hunks of rock and sent them flying towards the men and Pokemon, while Reno and Church simply threw a few other hunks of rock towards the group. Nova would stare and attempt to pick up a rock a few times before simply giving up on doing something anatomically impossible and simply fire off a Hurricane to pick up hunks of rock and send them flying into the area.

I don't think Reno really thought that through well, anything thrown is going to kind of move fast, so once the rocks passed into the boundaries of the Trick Room, they turned into a slow moving cluster of floating rocks. Now maybe if someone gently pulled a Pokemon towards the floating, sluggish mass of rocks, with a little telekinesis, they could get something going. Everything is reversed here speed and force wise after all.

The Ledian was fortunately saved from the Psybeam, mostly. "Light Screen, huh? Drowzee! Headbutt!" The Rocket ordered, pointing at...Keiko? The Drowzee would kick off the ground with abnormal speed for its species and fly towards the trainer head first.

As for Sandslash, it kind of just stared at the Serperior, looking at it stupid...until it realized it couldn't move fast enough to get out of the way and was left to slowly get diced up by leaves, oh what a fate.

"Weezing, another Gyro Ball! Target...him!" The Rocket sneered as he pointed at Kaya, looks like these goons didn't care about the enemy Pokemon now and wanted to destroy the trainers themselves, and their Pokemon would obey without protest as Weezing hurled its self at Kaya like a silver blur, its steel hard body aiming to wreck Kaya, ow.
