Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sammy, feeling her TADS vibrate, whipped it out and rapidly started texting.

Uhm, yep... Having fun over there?

~Sammy
She closed her TADS, not expecting an answer to that question.

Getting two responses, I start to form a plan. I'm glad I brought certain pokemon for training, too.

Okay, so that's 1-2 of each of them, for each of us. I'm about to have a blast over here, so be ready to attack on my signal. You can't miss the signal.

- Thard

Now that the message is safely on its way, I notice the pokemon have finally managed to overpower the mud and return the cyclone to full strength.

"Do it now!" I tell Maul. On cue, she blasts the cyclone with a massive Overheat attack, turning it almost entirely to molten glass.

Reaper continued swimming, while Zangoose layed back on a tree branch with a twig in his mouth, and began to relax, while Tyrogue started practicing its fighting skills.

Sammy, now realizing that the pokemon were rather large compared to her and her pokemon, slowed to a small trot as she reached the pokemon she was supposed to fight. She sweatdropped, hoping she had a pokemon with EXTREME type advantages.

Sammy released Troy (Hitmonchan) and Koi (Tyrouge) as she approached a Tyranitar. Koi just sort of stood in the backround as Troy Sky Uppercutted Tyranitar, luckily fainting it on contact. Poor Koi felt weak as they moved on to the next pokemon.

Up next, an Aggron and Hippowdon that escaped Garchomp's wrath. I had Flygon and Phanpy take these two. My tiny pachyderm darted in with a quick Ice Shard, doing minor damage to the hippo. Flygon rocked the field with Earthquake, dropping Aggron on the spot, giving Hippowdon some more damage, and almost knocking Phanpy out. The surviving ground-type hammered my Mirage Pokemon with Fire Fang.

I recalled Phanpy before it drew any more attacks, and had Lickitung take his place. Flygon raked its foe with Dragon Claw as the sandy one turned its wrath on Lickitung with a mighty Crunch. But another Dragon Claw followed by a Stomp put an end to the fight.

The Tyranitar crushed down on Garchomp with a Crunch doing quite a bit of damage to the Dragon. Blade, having grabbed a snag chip from the lab before he demolished it, attaches one to an Ultra Ball and hurls it at the Tyranitar.
Garchomp takes an Ice Fang during Tyranitar's capture and falls unconscious.
The Tyranitar is caught and Blade puts the Tyranitar's ball in his pocket and clips Garchomp back onto his belt. He then sends out Gengar.
"Gengar Energy Ball!" Blade shouts and Gengar obeys. It fires a ball of grass energy (?) at the Hippowdon, KOing it. While Blade was distracted the last Hippowdon had Slack'd Off and fully healed.
Blade clenches his first, angry.
"I hate those things, they never faint!"
Hippowdon then Crunches Gengar and KO's it. Blade recalls Gengar and sends out Heracross.
Hippowdon strikes down with an Ice Fang for decent damage.
Heracross counters with Revenge dealing good damage. He then uses his item, a Flame Orb, putting a burn on himself.
Hippowdown strikes again with an Ice Fang, doing relatively small damage.
Heracross once again attacks with Revenge, but power now boosted heavily by it's GUTS ability. Hippowdon roars out as it collapses into an unconscious state.
Blade recalls Heracross and prepares to confront the oil workers.

The oil drill stops and the workers look around to find their Pokemon KO'd.
"What's going on here?!" One of them shouts.
"Were we discovered?!" Another questions, realizing the sand cyclone had vanished.
"I saw it all, those kids beat our Pokemon!"
"What do you want?"
"I want you to stop digging. You're harming the environment around here." Blade states.
"Oh? And what if I refuse?!" The first worker asks. Remembering a few of Dark's actions that would get his point across Blade grabs the worker by the throat.
"It wasn't an offer, it was an order." Blade glares angrily into the eyes of the worker. He then looks back to his fellow Aquans and winks, signaling for them to act tough and dangerous.
