Nina's head felt as though it was going to explode as she ran. Feelings of dizziness and confusion swept over her, but she was able to push them aside with some slight effort. Her eye color turned to a dark black, and it seemed like she was slowly losing any traces of rational thought and emotion that she had left in her.
Nina arrived at the Gym, and was much more composed than she was on her way there. A blank yet sarcastic smiling expression found its way onto her face as she reached for the doorknob. "Oh, no," she said in a soft, expressionless tone, "it's locked. Whatever shall I do?" No sooner had that sentence escaped her mouth, the door was telekinetically ripped clean off of its hinges before flying over Nina's head and making a loud CRASH! in the background as it collided with the ground.
The girl walked into the Gym, and casually brushed a few strands of hair out of her face. She walked at a slow and steady pace, and her footfalls landed in a loud heel-toe fashion, and there seemed to be a pause of about a split-second in between each step she took.
She was near the arena, and hadn't spotted the Gym Leader yet. The strangely blank, sarcastic smile found its way onto her lips again. "Giovanni," Nina called softly, in an unusually soothing tone, "come out, come out, wherever you are..." Her eyes darted to her left side and she flung several objects around.
"You can't hide from me..."

Plans, never Mike's strong point.
"Well, I'd say that we go in there, distract Team Rocket from Nina and stir up some trouble." He made a punching motion, regaining his excitment. "If they focus all their man power on the three trainers in their Gym, then they can't hurt Nina."
He thought for another moment. "As Flannery is a Gym Leader and a bit stronger than I, I think she'll be alright battling alone." He glanced over at the beautiful girl, flashing a reassuring smile. "Kasiya and I will team up, we make a good team and I don't think I'm strong enough by myself."

"Right," Kasiya nodded, doing a double take. "Wait, you're a gym leader?" she blinked, looking at Flannery, who grinned sheepishly and gave a bit of a wave. "That is so cool!" Kasiya said, turning her gaze towards the gym. "Nina's inside already, isn't she?" the girl asked, putting a finger to her lips. "We should go..."
The last time she'd been here it had ended well, all things considered. She shivered slightly, doing her best to at the very least, appear brave. You have thirty minutes to leave my gym... "He's not going to be happy to see me..." Kasiya murmured.

Mike dashed ahead, stopping at the entrance, noting the door thirty feet away. "Well, it's safe to say she had no troubles here." Poking his head in through the entrance, he saw that the coast was clear. He looked back and gave a thumbs up, before jumping at a raspy voice behind him.
"Hey you!" He didn't sound so nice. Mike looked back to see two Rockets guarding the hallway in. They must have just missed Nina. He let out a relieved sigh, looks like he was playing hero once again. As the thought crossed his mind, a smirk appeared across his face. Good.
The boy made a rude gesture towards the duo in black. "Yeah what? You want something?" The male Rocket grit his teeth saying a few choice words before tossing out a Pokeball containing a Hitmonchan. It beat its fists together and hopped around, ready for battle.
Mike recalled his two Pokemon, sending out Felsic. The Quilava flared it's flaming pores, the temperature rising.

Giovanni stood up suddenly, hearing the crash. "What's going on!?" he demanded, looking around his office. He snapped his fingers, a screen appearing on the wall opposite him. This wall was the same wall he would rise to view out into the Gym's arena. He smirked, looking at the screen. "It seems those children have decided to try their hands again," he smirked, "However, the cards are all in my favor," he stood up and walked over to the screen to get a better look.

The second Rocket, seeing that his friend was already busy, made an advancement towards Kasiya. "There's nowhere to run, Little Mouse!" he taunted, and sent out a Hitmonlee. It kicked the air swiftly, looking at Kasiya sharply, as though daring her to send out a Pokemon.
"Do I look like I'm running?" Kasiya retorted, looking over as Felsic appeared before Mike. "Let's go, Shocker!" she cried, releasing her ever-ready Raichu. Shocker rubbed her paws together, static sizzling from every inch of her body, her attitude clearly stating "Bring it on!"

Flannery walked behind, keeping a look out. As Mike an Kasiya became engaged in seperate battles, she saw a third Rocket creep up behind them. "Hey, what the heck happened to your hair? Stick your tongue in the toaster?" she chortled, mocking Flannery's flamboyant hairstyle.
The Gym Leader's hands became clenched into tight fists, and her face slowly changed to match the red of her hair. "Nobody insults me that way," Flannery growled, hurling a Pokeball at the ground. Houndoom appeared, looking incredibly anxious to battle.
The female Rocket continued to laugh, shaking her head as she sent out a Pokemon to oppose Houndoom: a Fearow.

"Felsic, use Flame Wheel on the Hitmonchan!" The Quilava bent forwards, grabbing his feet. He began to roll around Shocker, picking up speed and kicking up dust. Moments later he erupted from the smokescreen wreathed in flames, smashing into the Hitmonchan. It cried out for a second, but reacting quickly grabbed the fire Pokemon and spun around. The Hitmonchan tossed Felsic in the air and landed a Mach Punch, sliding the Quilava across the floor back to his trainer.
Mike flinched as the fighting Pokemon landed the punch. "Don't worry, that was one hit, just keep up the speed!" The Rocket smirked, the fighting Pokemon crossing it's arms. "Hitmon." It grunted.

"Tsk tsk tsk," Nina said as she swept the Gym's floor, finding no indication of Giovanni. "If he's not on the first floor," she said, "then it's likely he'll be downstairs in the laboratory..." Closing her eyes, Nina concentrated for a moment. Walking with her eyes still closed, she slowly made her way to a hidden staircase that led to a floor beneath the Gym.
"Hey!" a male voice yelled. "What the hell is this girl doing down here?"
A second voice replied, "I don't know, but you know what Giovanni said to do with intruders!"
Nina opened her eyes as the Rockets continued to yell, and a smile crept on her face. There were several Rocket scientists surrounding her, and she didn't move.
"Listen, girl," one of the scientists said, "this is a restricted zone. Get out of here this instant if you wish to keep your life, or else--"
"Or else what?" Nina interrupted, looking to the scientist. "You'll kill me? I hate to break it to you, Braniac," she said, as the scientist's body glowed a dark blue, "but... that's just... not going to happen." Nina made the scientist walk slowly toward her, causing him to shriek in surprise, and the four or five other scientists that were near her backed off a few steps. She tilted her head slightly when the scientist she was controlling was about a foot away from her. He had a nametag, and on it was the name Joseph.
"P... please!" Joseph said, fear evident in his voice. "We'll let you go, just... Don't hurt me! You're not a--"
Nina started to laugh. "Let me guess. 'I'm not a killer?' Sorry, Joseph, but I've heard that entire schtick before. I didn't believe it then--" she made Joseph slowly float upwards until his body was perpendicular against the ceiling, "--and I don't believe it now." With one quick gesture, Joseph was flung downwards, and crashed against the floor. He let out a yell of pain. Nina laughed, and lifted him up to the ceiling, with more force this time, and slammed him against the ground again. She repeated that process several times within a minute before the other scientists in the room ran off.
"Quick, get Giovanni, NOW!" one of the scientists yelled.
Nina's eyes softened and she smirked as she looked at Joseph, who lay on the ground, unable to move, as he was in an excruciating amount of pain. His attempts at speaking were little more than incoherent babbling. "Does it hurt yet?" she asked, in a somewhat excited tone of voice. "Because if it doesn't--" Joseph let out a quick yell in response to her question-- "then, we most certainly can make it so it does hurt!" In a swift motion, Nina brought the man to his feet, before sending him flying into a wall, causing him to fall to the ground. He went unconscious several moments later.
"Now that that's over with," Nina said, "I can start to have some real fun." She shifted her attention to the experiements that were being conducted, and she saw a Miltank in a strange teleportation-like device.
"I think I'll start with you."

"Jump Kick!" the Rocket yelled, pointing at Shocker.
"Shocker! Evade!" Kasiya called instantly, and a second later Hitmonlee's foot had left a deep depression in the ground where the Raichu had just been standing. "You gotta be quicker than that!" Kasiya grinned, feeling her confidence gathering. "Quick Shocker! Thunderbolt!" Shocker whirled on the spot, gathering her electrical energy. She let it fly, but herself, was too slow as Hitmonlee yanked his foot from the ground and had just managed to evade.

The man looked over his shoulder as a group of Rocket Scientists came bursting through to his office from the collection room. He spun around quickly. "What's going on! Explain yourselves!" he ordered, clenching his fists.
"Sir!" said one of them, "There is a girl in the lab! She has psychic powers!"
Giovanni rolled his eyes and scowled. He approached the wall that seperated him from the lab. He pressed a button, the wall lifting up and he moved down the steps into the lab. "Impressive child," he growled, "But I'm afraid you've gone far enough!" he released Tyranitar from its Pokeball, the large Pokemon roaring loudly. Compared to Giovanni and Nina, it was quite tall. The Pokemon made an advance toward the girl. "I forgot to feed Tyranitar this morning. I'm afraid he's a bit hungry," he smirked and chortled. The dinosaur licked its lips and growled once more. It made grabby motions with its claws.
"Get. Out."

Nina looked at Giovanni and smiled. "I'd be more than glad to leave this shoddy establishment," she said, "but I've got important matters to settle here." She slowly stepped back, away from the Gym Leader and his Pokemon, until she was next to the machine with the Miltank. Looking to the machine, she lifted it up, and the Miltank escaped, running up the stairs that Nina had used before, going to the Gym floor.
Nina smiled as the suspended machine just floated in the air, next to her. "This is a rather impressive machine, Giovanni. I'm sure it must have taken a lot of time and money to create..." Her gaze shifted to the left, and the machine flew in that direction until it collided with a wall.
The Psychic cracked her neck and looked at the man and Pokemon in front of her.

"See? Kassie gets it." He said with a smile, Felsic returning the grin. "Quick Attack!" The fire Pokemon practically disappeared and smashed right into the Hitmonlee, who was preoccupied with Shocker. "Take that you no faced freak!" Felsic kicked off the fighting Pokemon, scurrying back to his spot.
Taking advantage of Mike's distraction the Rocket ordered his Pokemon to attack. "I don't think so, Hitmonchan use Thunderpunch!" The fighting Pokemon charged the Quilava, rubbing his fists together. He let out a punch, Felsic nimbly dodging it, not expecting the other fist to smash into his stomach. The Quilava landed gracefully on all fours, and then fell to the ground in pain. Paralysis traveled down his spine as he felt his joints locking up.

"Is that it?" Flannery growled, pointing at the bird. "This will be a record KO! Go Houndoom! Flamethrower!"
Houndoom threw back his head and spewed an incredibly intense stream of flames from his mouth, completely engulfing the Fearow in a blanket of fire. It squawked loudly, but remained in the air, glaring daggers at the fire breather below it.
"Give it a taste of its own medicince, Fearow! Mirror Move!" cried the female Rocket, looking slightly smug. Fearow flapped its wings rapidly, as it opened its beak and fired a Flamethrower, just as Houndoom had a second ago.
"Amature," Flannery grinned, and shook her head as Houndoom opened his mouth, and breathed in the entire attack before he shook his head fiercely and fired it right back, his Flash Fire ability pumping up his fire attacks. Fearow fell to the ground, obviously defeated. Flannery pat her powered-up Pokemon on the head, and smiled. "Next?" she asked, only to have her opponent recall her fainted Pokemon, turn and flee.

Giovanni let out a laugh, his voice echoing throughout the lab. "You don't think that was the only machine of its type?" he slipped his hand into his pocket, "Clearly you are mistaken." A smirk curled along his lips. "Much like your friend Kilik. However, unlike Kilik," he watched Tyranitar step forward again, its tongue hanging out of its mouth, dripping with saliva.
"You see, unlike Kilik...I'm not going to kill you." Tyranitar ran its tongue along Nina's neck, longing to strike. Giovanni stared at the girl, with a look as cold as ice. "You can't defeat Team Rocket, girl. You're wasting your time on a lost effort." Tyranitar growled hungerly, staring blankly at her neck. "My hand is clearly the better of our dealt cards."
"Kilik's hand wasn't that bad, either," he laughed, "Yet he folded before he managed to place his bet." He smirked, "And he paid for it."
