Ilmari felt like he had been sitting in his cage when sudden movement caught his eye. Who was walking past this time? Looking up the whimsicott frowned. A meowstic? The poor girl seemed tattered and worse for wear while her gaze was downcast on the floor. It seemed she had tried getting out a few times and was sporting some fresh bandages again. It was strange how in that split moment she looked up at him with that determination still bright in her gaze.
Just like him she was waiting for her time.
Perhaps that time was now. Grinning the teen leaned against his door and flicked out several of the seeds that had been in his hand. Each send sped like a bullet on the tendrils of wind as he sent them out. Cursing the grunt looked towards Ilmari who offered a smirk, "Looks like something's weird in this hallway~"
At the same time while the grunt looked away the meowstic flipped around so she could kick him sharply in the knees. Meowing with excitement as the grunt went to his knees the girl quickly grabbed at the keys with her mouth and tossed them towards the cage.
Thankful that he hadn't miss the nerve in the meowstic's eyes Ilmari quickly found himself unlocking the door. The grunt distracted by the meowstic who was rebelling didn't realize that the teen was standing behind him until it was too late, "I think you should pick on someone your own size."
As the meowstic watched Ilmari quickly helped the grunt to 'sleep' in his old cage. Stealing the Team Rocket Jacket for his own he quickly pulled it over his own shirt and placed a hat on his head to hide the familiar fluff of hair, "Well so much for that waiting plan. You okay?"
Smiling the meowstic nodded.
The only question was now what?
Inside, Tryce and Raxka headed down the hallways. Every so often the 'nurse' would distract a grunt while Tryce could come up from behind to give him a nice wack on the head. Soon enough the two of them would make their way towards the main cages while slowly helping to cut down the number of grunts to fight later on their way back out.
Chloe stopped humming to listen to all of the commotion exploding around her. Had someone just been attacked? Eyes wide the teen went towards her door to try to peer down the hallway, "Hello?" It was a weak call, but full of hope.
Maybe she would be getting out soon. Please, please let them come storming through here for us. Whoever it was that was coming to rescue them she was grateful towards. Personally even as a pacifist the idea of attacking Team Rocket was rather appealing. Perhaps they should try to see what it was like in a cell...

The pidgeot sacrifice didn't survive long. Edith was simply too starved to stop herself from dropped the human in favor of her flying prey. It tried to escape, but the leech seed had done it's job perfectly. The flier could only flap weakly as the fanged beast attacked, and sank her fangs in deep. The creature wasn't enough to sate her completely, but it was enough to bring Edith's consciousness back from the void.
When she first 'woke', Edith noticed the carnage. A part of her registered that she hadn't been alone in this, that Kole had helped, but the human...the pidgeot...those were hers. And the worst part of it all was that even in her awawkened state, Edith wasn't overwhelmed with guilt. She felt a little wrong, like a child caught shop lifting, but not as torn up as she knew she should have been. She looked down at her hands, and flexed her bloodied fingers. It had felt too good.
Edith lifted her head back up to look at Kole, and as quickly as she could the petite girl launched herself at him. Instead of attacking him, she wrapped her arms around his neck and held onto him as if he were the only raft in a storm. Looking over his methods, Kole had saved her. He had come! She leaned back to smile at him, feeling a little nervous laughter in her soul, but was shocked to hear an audible laugh. The confusion caused her to still. What...?
Using Kole's shoulder like the ledge of a wall, Edith raised herself up, nearly climbing him to look further down the hall. Standing in the middle of the area was a little litwick. It waved, smiling wide and just a little...twisted. When it laughed it covered it's mouth this time. How much had it seen?
She growled at the little creature, hissing with her one good wing unfurled defensively around both herself and Kole. The litwick only laughed harder, danced in a circle, and waved it's little stubbly arms.
"Come on, this way! We can have more fun."
Fun? This was fun?!
((Until such a time that Riff is needed, I'm going to stop posting with him. c: ))
Renee blinked as a pretty bottle with liquid in it landed in her hands unbroken, her first thought was how likely a pretty bottle like she was currently would go unbroken, usually the impact would have caused it to break. She pondered over what to do with it for a few seconds but decided to quickly hide it just to avoid the doctor noticing it and taking away from her.
She would need to investigate the bottle after this dilemma was done and sorted out. She kept it somewhere where she would remember where it was. She had really hoped this ordeal would be over sooner then later.

Missy was still threatening those out in the hall with her father and brother, but her voice was getting hoarse from the continuous screaming. She kicked at the door, picked up the pillow that was on the cot within the cell and threw it as hard as she could. "LET ME OUT! People will be looking for me! Stupidface! Come on, let me out! I promise not to rearrange your face if you let me out right now!"
The stunky hesitated, waiting for a miracle. Maybe someone out there was listening. Maybe someone would let her go.
She silently counted to ten before announcing, "That's it! You're going to have eyes popping out your nose!"
~*~*~
Draven was still concerned about how Briar had behaved upon learning he was going to help those in trouble. He'd made little progress in his venture, seeing no signs of those missing children. Maybe she'd been right to be upset. Maybe he was neglecting her by not inviting her to come along. Or staying home with her; she was probably worried about his safety. He'd never considered that she worried just as much about him as he did her.
He'd have to make it up to her. But how?
~*~*~
Things out there were definitely--loud, for lack of a better word. Brenny stood by the door of his cell, hands over his ears. The meloetta singing was bad enough--weren't they supposed to have beautiful voices? Whatever was screeching along with the meloetta was even worse. Well. Maybe the noise would help someone find them.
He noticed a dratini in a tank of water, positioned across from his cell. He stared for a moment: huh. It was definitely scared, swimming around in a frantic manner. The noise probably wasn't helping the creature's nerves. "Hey, it's alright," he tried to comfort it, but he doubted he'd be heard over the noise of those in the cells near by. "I'll get you out," he promised. "I'm Brenny. It's Alright to be scared." They were in a horrible situation; fear was certainly a reasonable reaction.
The dratini stopped, seemingly to look at him. It started headbutting the glass to no avail.
"Don't do that," he said, "You'll only get hurt."

I thought Missy reacted to Shadow's "not even a ghost could save you" by becoming louder and calling names. Her threats are directed to him. I was following the prompt given with Brielle, so if you like you can say Shadow brought her in. I don't know if Brenny would have noticed? He sees a frightened pokemon; he knows that feel.

((Hehe, sorry if I didn't make it clear, but in this post and also in this post, Shadow was replying to Missy. If you want, you can still have her answer him or you can just pretend she's not in the same room or something. Since I assumed that Brenny was also in the same room that Shadow was guarding, I assumed he was also the one who brought the dratini to the room that Brenny is in during Shadow's last post. If you'd rather them not be in the same room, though, just let me know~))

Bright blue eyes glared at him and Shadow was, again, astonished by the child's boldness. The corner of his mouth twitched upward in a faint smirk, amused by Reshi's failure to be intimidated.
"You sound like you think you're better than me; maybe because you're a legendary. But all I see is a spoiled little kid in a cage talking all tough because he doesn't have the sense to be afraid." However, whatever semblance of a smirk he had disappeared when Reshi compared Shadow to them.
It was a minute or two before the ghost teen managed to find the words to respond. "...No. I'm not like you," he said softly, his scarlet gaze dropping to the ground in shame. "They already tried to study me. I didn't become this way by choice, you know." His eyes narrowed at nothing. "Not human, not pokemon...being a ghost, I didn't change exactly how they thought I would and my being a Haunter messed up their research.
"Turning humanoid like this triggered the part of me that makes Haunters evolve into Gengars, so when they stopped the experiment mid-way, I became stuck like this." He held up a clawed hand, completely detached from a non-existent wrist. "Not human, not pokemon...not even fully Haunter or Gengar. A failed experiment hardly fit for duty as a Rocket. I'm a freak and I know it. You don't have to rub it in my face."
He shook his head, turning away. "You guys, though...you seem to have adapted to your altered forms, somehow. I don't know if it was your choice to become like you are now, but you all seem to have been happy with your lives before you were captured. I didn't know that was possible." He rubbed one of his arms with his clawed hand. "Making your own way in the world, depending on one another, surviving as families, even small communities...I didn't realize. I thought...I thought there was no place for...for pokehumans like us in the world. That's why I'm part of Team Rocket now. At least they gave me a purpose for existing."
He looked around at some of the others. Petaya the Joltik had retreated from him again, but out the corner of his eye, the Rocket noticed the child try to wave at Eilam. The others he had tried speaking to - Missy, Aether, Koujen, Brenny - seemed to either be too panicked or distracted or caught up in their own misery to respond to him. Perhaps they were simply choosing to ignore him as best they could. Shadow sighed; he couldn't blame them.
The sudden cry of the Onix girl caught his attention as he realized Frank had come to. He jumped at the sound of her shoulder slamming against the metal bars of her cell, followed by another wail of pain. Still, though, she didn't seem to want to let up as she attacked the bars again with her strong tail. Shadow rushed to the front of her cell.
"Whoa, whoa, hey! Take it easy, there! You're already so badly hurt; do you really want to injure yourself more?" The concern in his voice might have surprised even himself if he wasn't so focused on the child before him. He gently reached through the bars to put his arms around her, attempting to hold her close in what he hoped was a comforting fashion. He tried not to imagine how she might recoil if she saw who was trying to comfort her. Even for a Rocket, he knew he probably looked pretty frightening. "Shh, shhhh, it's okay. Please stop," he told her in a hushed voice. "I can't bear to see you hurt yourself like this." Even if she ended up attacking him, whether on purpose or accident, he wouldn't let go. He felt he probably deserved whatever damage she caused him, anyway.
"...When I saw that they were taking you from families and homes, I realized what they were doing was wrong," Shadow went on, presumably still speaking to Reshi. Perhaps he was addressing any of the captives who chose to listen. "At first I thought that maybe you would be happier here in this facility rather than out in the wild where being different can be dangerous. But...I was wrong." He gently pulled away from Frank's cage, clutching at his head as if in agony. "Everything is wrong. I don't want this; I don't want to see anyone suffering like this!"
It was then that a voice over the Rocket radios mentioned a breach. Shadow froze, wondering if they had already realized the pokemon he had saved were missing. A Rocket Gliscor pokehuman suddenly came in, seemingly talking to a superior as he headed toward Riley the glowing Riolu's cell.
"Hey, wait! What's going on? What are you doing? These captives are under my watch!" The ghost teen hollered at the Gliscor. There was anger in his voice, but the other Rocket ignored Shadow. He was only a lowly Rocket Hall Monitor after all; not even good enough to be a proper grunt. Before Shadow could even act, the Gliscor had used Thunder Fang on the struggling Riolu. Riley was knocked out as his attacker proceeded to move him further into the facility, father from the exit and their gateway to freedom.
"You can't do that!" Shadow yelled, ready to go after them. Others were starting to be transported as well. The Haunter-Gengar hybrid began to panic. He had to go after them. He had to -
"What the hell are these doing here? They're supposed to be terminated!"
A shiny, Mega Houndoom adult showed up just as he was about to pursue the others. Damn it! What to do now? He couldn't explain why he'd chosen to save the pokemon that were supposed to have been destroyed. 'They didn't do anything wrong' or 'lives are valuable' weren't reasons he thought higher-up Rockets would buy. If he didn't do something soon, his efforts to save them would have been for naught.
Without thinking about the consequences, Shadow met the Mega's eyes and attempted to use Hypnosis. He tried not to think about how he was openly defying Team Rocket or how this woman probably out-ranked him or that she was probably older, more experienced, more powerful as a Mega, and had a type advantage over him. He briefly forgot that he hated using his own abilities or that he was turning his back on everything he had known. All he could think about was that he needed to get the endangered captives - now both pokemon and pokehumans - out of there. In the excitement of whatever breach had occurred, perhaps they could get lucky and escape. In any case, this was the point of no return. It was too late to turn back now.
If his Hypnosis was successful, Shadow hoped to check Alchemy for keys to the captives' cages. It would be a lot easier to get them out of there if they could make a run for it on their own legs and tails.
Please work....please work!

"Team Rocket? Oh that sounds interesting..." Belle said, wrinkling her nose as she thought. The name sounded familiar, but she couldn't place why. She looked back down at the Spheal who seemed very much content with her assistance to Belle as she seemed to be grinning ear to ear.
"My name's Belle, what's yours?"
"Atlantica!" the Spheal chimed, her bow shaking with excitement.
"Oh, that's a pretty name! Well, do you know where Team Rocket is? I bet they're missing their stuff..." The Spheal laughed, which confused Belle. Had she said something funny?
"Why would you want to give it back? Team Rocket are bad people silly! I've seem them take pokemon, drag them in nets or in bags. They tried catching me once but I got away! I've even seen them take poke-people, kinda like you!"
Belle bounced on her feet. "Oh wow! Really? Well you need to tell me where to go then because I am on a quest to save them!"
The Spheal's excited demeanor diminished at the sound of that. "You...are you crazy? You'll just get caught yourself! Who knows what crazy things they'll do to you!"
"Well if you're not going to help that's fine. I have a map I can use anyway," Belle said. "Thanks for the information though!" Belle then turned around and began walking away, but stopped when she heard a 'wait for me!' call out to her.
"Can you carry me? I don't move so fast on the ground..." the Spheal asked. Belle hoisted her up with one of her psy arms and the two set off together with Atlantica calling out directions for Belle to take.
The larger poké-human seemed very cautious of their reactions to him, for lack of a better word. Switch could not guess why, but with the current situation, he could as easily have been looking for a friend as working for Team Rocket. The latter seemed least likely though, so for now she would take his words and actions at face value. She stood up as tall as her long legs and straight shoulders would allow, and pointed to her chest with a feather-thumb: "I'm Switch and that's my human, Rocío."
The human girl laughed, "Your human! That sounds funny, Switch! But, I guess she's right..." Her admission earned her a chuckle from her friend. Then to Rostek she nodded and said, "You can call me Theo. What's your..." She paused and thought, Perhaps he has no name! "What would you like us to call you?"
Switch turned and peeked through the foliage to the bare asphalt beyond. Then she pointed, "We were following a van that went down this road. It was carrying our friends that were stolen from our camp site." She turned back toward them. "I think I may have seen someone I know chasing after them in a car."
"Who was it, Switch?"
"I think I saw Mitja!"
"Ohh... isn't she tough? Maybe she could use our help?"
Further down the road, impact and squealing tires indicated that the chase was over for some. Theo could not hear it, but Switch thought she could. Her eyes narrowed as she looked back down the road. "We should go."
( Rostek can lead the way if you like, Dooma! If Rostek develops better plans, go for it! )

If Benoni found Eclipse hypnotic, he found her to be downright eerie! How did he attract strange poké-humans? Shouldn't that bother him? "Hee..." he grinned. Nope, not at all. He was too busy teasing the joltik's charged fur for a little fun to ponder his situation more seriously.
"Little pokémon are good too. Bigger pokémon require big teams. Did you see the chandelure boy I helped them catch?" He puffed out his chest with short-lived bravado. His attention could not hold such a pompous act for long, not when he was too excited to get in on the action. He was a hands-on kind of guy. "It will be a great party, Benoni! Lots of battle and maybe some explosions! Maybe we'll even capture someone even bigger than him! A legendary! Or a hybrid!"
He watched her float circles around him. It was past time to go. He nodded and headed off in the most direct way he knew how to get back to base: a van. "What took you so long?" the driver snarled. Of course Eclipse had called ahead over the radio. "We were about to leave without you! Now get in!" Eclipse's snappy reply was drowned out by the vehicle's lurching gears. Pressed back into his chair as the van sped off, he grinned at the shedinja girl, ruby-colored eyes glittering.
They were briefed on the way and unnecessarily reminded to be ready for anything. That would no more prepare them for a horrendous, broken and smoking compound than it would for the flood of carnage to come. And there would be carnage, if there wasn't any yet. As they approached base, Rocket operatives and grunts piled out of similar-looking vehicles as pokémon and poké-humans came and went. Some left destruction in their wake. Others were being sneaky indeed.
"Time to disappear." No sooner had they arrived when the void umbreon immursed himself into the growing confusion. He did not await orders; there was no time. Better that he receive them on the way! No doubt Benoni would find her fun even if she didn't decide to follow him!
( Anyone in need of a fight? Put up your dukes! =D )

Frank paused, her tail raised overhead and ready to strike, just long enough to hear what Shadow had to say. Her lip curled, "I don't care!" But she would not willingly harm this "big kid," even if he wore the Team Rocket uniform. She was caught further off guard by his gentle embrace. She was not used to kindness, and it caused an upwelling of hot tears to stream down her face as memories of the mechanic Carlos and all of his wonderful pokémon also filled her eyes. Her tail fell to the floor with a loud, grating and cascading series thuds that cracked the floor and filled her cell with a thin, fine concrete powder mist.
When Shadow explained his angle and slipped away from her cell, Frank wiped her face, sniffling wetly, and peered through the bars. His situation seemed more complicated than even he could say. A good bad guy? Was not everyone good or bad? Some were both? Quickly she recalled people like Kenley and Mycah, deciding that Shadow must be like that, too, somewhere in between. He worked for the bad Rocket group, but he wanted to try to protect her and the others imprisoned by his bosses.
Having come to her conclusions, when the gliscor grunt "abducted" Riley to another location, she did not yet know that many prisoners like herself were to be moved, while others like those Shadow had in custody were to be terminated. This last bit of information came from a dangerous-looking poké-woman as she approached. The Mega Houndoom showed up at the wrong time.
Shadow's Hypnosis might have a Type disadvantage, but her Rock Tomb did not. With an explosive wail of anger, the onix girl hurled bolders, loosened chunks of concrete and stone in the aftermath of her tantrum, at the wall of her cage, aimed directly at Alchemy. The rock might not actually harm her, but maybe it would slow her down if the Hypnosis move hadn't worked.
Meanwhile, a swinub lay prostrate in her adjacent cell. Exhausted from the tests performed upon her time and again, she was a likely candidate for termination. Nothing particularly fruitful had come of the experiments, except perhaps for a strange new facet of her sense of smell that she could not have explained to the Good Doctor had she half a mind and the vocal chords to do so. For that matter, if she had sprouted wings she would not have exercised their fledgling muscles to prove to him that pigs could fly.
Frank's tantrums had rattled the poor swinub's cage and even her bones with every blow, as if the doctors were at it all over again. "Endure," she often muttered to herself, flashing briefly with light, but not as often as today. "Endure," flash. Since these sensations were outside of herself ( "Endure." Flash. ) and could not be ignored ( "Endure." Flash. ), she finally let lose with a blood-curdling porcine scream ( --redacted-- ) that drowned out even the onix's roar. She found herself charging her own door with just as much fury but far less success, and was forced to stop soon after she had begun. She collapsed in a heaving heap near the door. "So selfish... you're not the only one to suffer..." she gasped, before falling silent again. That was probably the first time any of those Rockets had heard her raise her voice since they had been stationed there.
And, despite the aggravations suffered on account of the onix child, when the operative Alchemy came by and protested, Velvet the Swinub clacked her tiny tusks together and squealed again, grating out, "En. DURE." and a Mud-Slap that used Frank's leftover debris to hurl them at the Mega Houndoom's body.

If nothing else, Havard had released a "bug" into Murphy's ear. This understanding did not keep the ire from flushing his sickly-pale face and setting his violet eyes aglow as the scientist retreated to attend to more pressing matters. He was not the megalomaniac that would curse him with the bromide words, "He will come to regret turning his back on me," but rather, while practical enough to understand his reasoning, knew all too well that Murphy had missed his one chance to brainstorm with a nearly unconscionable mewtwo. Not that he would realize it. This thought brought a slow smirk to Havard's masked lips as he turned away from the unfortunate doctor and toward bedlam.
The cries of outraged pokémon had not been silenced by their captors. The cries in his ear over the radio had in some cases been silenced mid-sentence. Once or twice a stray pokémon dodged guards and attempted escape. Havard had let it all go by him, despite his building migraine, until the orders to move the prisoners came.
In his mind, the pokémon at his belt spoke freely, and right now they plead with him to unlock the cells and free their friends. He could not do so without breaking their cover, but he could attempt to "transfer" them with the intent to get them out. He was just discussing the transfer with one of the guards, and directed to a wing that would need some help, when Koujen's plea slammed into him.
It, too, was cut short.
KOUJEN. Where are you. WHERE. His mind was met by some alien resistence and he stepped away with fury. Who. Are. You. Invisible vectors like spider legs flexed, attentive and ready to rip walls and bodies apart to save Koujen. Now the air around him would make a casual observer vaguely nauseated or dizzy as he found the munna boy's cell. "KOU--" The thick air and pressure seemed to evaporate when he found a reuniclus cradling the boy's head. "...jen."
He glanced around. "I'll transfer the prisoners here," he belted out. To Bürschli Mayzel he said softly, "Is he all right?"
(Is Koujen in the direct vicinity of Shadow, Alchemy, and Frank? If so... yes he would absolutely ignore them, at least first. But he could be of help to whomever can convince him to come to their aid. )

Despite the ridiculous volume the compound seemed to be growing in, Aether was managing, inch by inch, to steady himself and the spinning of his mind. It was all just another sort of pain to get used to ignoring, to work through, despite the snarky mental reminder that his ears would probably still be ringing a week after the conclusion of this whole ordeal. Receding into one’s own mind was not all that difficult, but it was still no habit that the chandelure practiced. What sort of scout would a person be, if they did?
Fae sighed as she watched, listening to the chatter abound but unable to intervene. It was a lot like watching the television, except that the place was in shambles. She could almost swear she felt a chill run up her spine. Turning attention back to her partner, she quirked an eyebrow, “What are you doing? …You know that won’t work.”
His metallic hands once more rested themselves against the bars of his cell as he leaned his weight into them. “Doesn’t hurt to try again,” he stated, attempting to faze through again. What use was this ability, really, if he couldn’t ‘Infiltrate’ through his own wrought iron box? With an annoyed sigh, he continued, “It’s not like I’ve got anything better to do right now. I suppose I could start hexing them all, but what good would that really do?”
The boy’s attention swayed a bit as Shadow seemed to try to drum up conversation with the other captives. He was really a chatty Rocket member, wasn’t he? Not so often that one would go into their backstory, unprovoked. Aether couldn’t help the slight, amused grin before he returned concentration back to its previous position.
The young girl continued her nervous vigil. She couldn’t spot much action outside the bars, but could easily jump to her own worst-case scenarios. After a moment, she fidgeted, “They’re moving people.” Aether didn’t move, but the pale glow of his eyes flicked to her slightly. Sounded like they were going to be getting the show on the road.
* * *
It was only out of straight, pure luck that the arcanine was able to pinpoint that one, strategic time when guards faltered and Revelin could squirm free. Size probably mattered, too, but then he was pretty sure that he couldn’t have escaped quite so easily if Alchemy had been able to hit him before he sped out of the room. Against a mega? He was stubborn, but he knew when he was outclassed!
He was fully aware that he may still need to battle his way to safety, and readied for such inevitability as he ran, fire sparking the air alight as he exhaled. Long strides and quick pace alongside, it seemed most would rather get out of his way than try to stop the massive canine in his tracks. Fine by him, he would keep going as long as his paws would allow. In his fatigued, weakened state, it was likely not a great distance. Just so long as it was outside the zone of potential recapture, he’d deal.
* * *
Iah’s malice had been near tangible, so when the cresselia’s anger had been tempered, Jet counted himself lucky that he had thought to trap him first. It was a shot in the dark, and had every potential to do the exact opposite of what the giratina had intended. He just felt so… corrupted; it was both fascinating and deterring. The clear thinking he seemed to be exhibiting, despite prior murderous intent, was immensely welcome, but Jet was not a hundred percent sure it was not just an act. If it was, it was undeniably well-scripted. Corresponding conversation, however, was enough to cast enough reasonable doubt -- he sounded sincere, almost shockingly so. Perhaps all Iah had really needed was someone to hold him back a little to be able to reassess the situation.
Jet released his hold on the gravitational force of the field, “Glad to hear. If that’s all you’re hoping to do, then allow me to help.” A cocky smirk stretched across his face, “There’s no way they’re going to be expecting this. The sudden havoc alone might be all we really need.” Oh was he ever looking forward to this…
Wynter sounded utterly disgruntled through Jet’s earpiece, but she couldn’t argue with the results. She knew she was being tugged along now; the teen’s whims were almost always purely to see what he could get away with these days. Normally she wouldn’t mind it, but today, they were falling behind with this little detour. “Jet, if you don’t move it, you’re going to miss out on your chance. It’s now or never!” She had no real stake in the mission, but she knew he couldn’t refuse the chance for destruction… and she couldn’t refuse the opportunity for him to do some good in order to break his past cycle of evils.
A flinch of hesitation was all the reaction she got, but there was little more time wasted. “This way,” he motioned, quickly returning to the post he had abandoned earlier. Leaning closer, he made quick survey as to where people seemed to be entering and exiting, and where they seemed to be milling about. “Ready?” he turned briefly to Iah, already far beyond ‘ready’ himself. Scarcely leaving room for reply, he built up the energy to send a Dark Pulse crashing through a low-traffic side of the building, creating himself his own backdoor entry. “Don’t fall behind, now,” he taunted as he neared the new entrance, steps slowing as he waited for the dust to clear a little more. He’d just need to use Gravity again while inside to slow the Rocket members, find where they were keeping everyone, and… somehow bust them out. Eh, it’d come to him in time.

Clearing her mind of allegiances and intents, Daphne attempted to dissuade the prying of any other psychic-type grunts that may cross her path. She wanted to look more the part of the stoic bodyguard, not some two-bit crook that had just stuffed a stolen object down their coat while looking for a camera. Try as she might have, she still managed to jump a little when Truffles seemed to be exerting her authority over a trapped Tyr. It wasn’t long before two others had followed suit. It wasn’t the preferred method, but she turned away from it. It wouldn’t help anyone if she was caught, too; not when they were so late in the game.
She almost yelped at the sound that proceeded, pivoting quickly on a heel to see the wrong individuals behind those bars. Well… ‘wrong’ was relative here. Spotting the espeon teen checking on the two knocked-out grunts led Daphne to believe it wasn’t a completely hostile takeover, and the girl determined from this turn of events that, perhaps, now was the time she was waiting for. At least this way, she knew of at least one other person that was infiltrating from the inside, and not just guessing from likelihoods and assumptions based on observed, guarded actions.
Daphne hadn’t expected Truffles to speak to her after that, and by all pretenses, she was very bold to chance it. Regardless, the young croagunk was relieved she had. It was with a swift, grazing look over her shoulder that she made sure there was nobody else nearby, to catch on before retreat was made. Stepping forward, she held a finger to her lips -- the noise outside could easily drown out any that may have originated from within here, but one couldn’t be too careful, not when these thin lines were so delicate. “No, I want to help you,” she quietly insisted, “We’re not alone in here, but I don’t know who all is working from the inside.” She gave a slightly pained expression; she knew… she should have done her homework, but time had been running out!
* * *
Mycah crouched before a downed Rocket grunt, having been staring him down for the better part of the last five minutes, but it didn’t look like he was stirring. He poked the guy’s shoulder, which caused a small murmur to emerge but nothing more. Mycah rose, at a loss. How strange. The charge in the air was quickly dissipating, but it was really all that was left of the scuffle that had taken place. At least the exit of the lingering electric effects meant that he didn’t have to feel he was bristling from it anymore, his nerves receding from their expectant nearby threat alert.
He’d not been back this far in the base before. The grunts had seemed reluctant to allow him to venture this way, and like a trained dog, learned through experience, the boy only persisted to stay for a moment out of curiosity, perhaps to wait for a command, before he moved to backtrack and return to where he was supposed to be. At least, he was pretty sure that was supposed to be how it worked.
However, like a new surge of energy electrified the air, Mycah stiffened, tense to unexpected familiarity. There were very few things that the mock-hybrid could actively link to past experiences -- his past was, after all, severely cut down to size, so there was not yet a very large reservoir to draw from. Pointed ears reached skyward, tasting the air for another trace. While species may have similar vocal patterns to one another of their own kind, this seemed rather… distinct. Unless all onixes tended to be that debilitatingly depressed? There was little room left for heeding directive. Mycah had known Frank much longer than the rest, after all, and she had run off so flustered before!
However, he didn’t make it much further than that before a wholly different hint of nostalgia hit him, and one that was better left as bleak past. It was not something that he could consciously recall, but the sight of those small boxes and barred cages, of captives held against their own will… Mycah’s ears flattened almost instantaneously, a surge of panic hitting him cleanly in the chest and making it impossible to breathe. He crumpled to the base of the wall, a half-hearted attempt to hide from the contraptions as he blocked out all sight, once more burying his face in his arms. No, no, not again, no..!
* * *
Shade was only assured that her eyes were open from the extensively minute amount of light that managed to seep past the blindfold over them. Had it not been for her night vision, it was unlikely she could have told the difference. She was groggy, but wasted little time in recalling where she last was. It was the same place she had been for a while now. Or was it only a week? Who was to say -- it was difficult to tell the passage of time when all telltale signs were removed from her current residence, or line of sight in general.
She moved an arm, attempting to roll the shoulder to stretch the soreness out, but was unable to move very much before the arm promptly fell back, a brace to hold it in place. A welling of fear caught hold of her, remembering with a start that she was still restrained.
The girl was a fighter, that much was certain. It didn’t help that superstition abounded under such a colorful collection of individuals, so denoted threat levels already registered on her personal scales before she could lift a finger. The blindfold was precaution for those weak-willed people, fearing a loss of individuality over the glittering of stone-cut, faceted eyes. The restraints themselves, that part was two-fold. She could be frightening, vicious, but she could also tear off the scrap of fabric off her face with ease. She had since been befitted with eyes behind a more hefty lock-and-key. The restraints had fallen back to the position of reminder, Shade’s strength all but used up in her numerous failed escape attempts. Her wrists were scarred as testament to stubbornness.
But that stubbornness, it was all she had left. She didn’t know the extent of Team Rocket, or Doctor Murphy’s plans, and how far they reached, how far they were attempting to go in their mad clamber. If she wasn’t going to get herself out of this mess, then who would? By all rights, this hope, this noise around her, it was carted to delusion. It had been so long… she just wanted her life back!

Guess whose turn it is now. BD

Eilam saw the wave from Petaya and she smiled softly, that was all he needed to see from him at the moment. He was trying to figure out what to do next, when he heard Shadow explain how he ended up here and why he now saw it was wrong. What had made the Poke-human think here was better for any of them, when many of them had family that cared for them. Maybe he really did not understand love, thought that the Rockets were going to take care of him.
"I strongly suggest that maybe you should learn about true love. I did not fully understand it until I met my trainer when she was but a baby. She changed my life, you need to find something like that, to see how it can be better for us Poke-humans,"he spoke to Shadow. He then heard Brenny's voice, even if he could not see him. Then there was a commotion outside the cells, just before some Rockets came to move him to a safer location. The guard unlocked his cell and grabbed his arm, though was slightly distracted by what was going on with Alchemy. He saw some guards get Jubilee and Lucinda out as well, so he gave the girls a discreet nod of his head. He knew Lightning and Fluff were on their way, it was time to leave this place and free as many captives as they could. So with the guard distracted, he elbowed the man in the gut, causing him to double over in pain. Then noticed Lucy tripping her guard and Jubilee using her tail to lash out at her's. Just as Lucy's guard tried to attack her again, she hit him with a blizzard attack, freezing him in place.
"Nice job, Luc! Mind taking care of those two?"he asked, pointing to his guard and Jubilee's who were trying to get up. She nodded, as she repeated her move on the two other guards. Then she pointed to the Mega Houndoom, wondering what they were going to do about her. The three of them went over, to see if they could help, Lucy seeing the Swinub still stuck in her cage. She pulled a hair pin out of her hair with a smile.
"Hey, I am going to get you out of there, okay?"she smiled. She put the pin in the lock and began to work on the door. While she did that, Eilam and Jubilee went to where the others were.
"You are surrounded, you should just give up. Perhaps we should take you as our get out of jail key,"Eilam suggested, looking directly at Alchemy, wondering if Shadow's Hypnosis would work.
Meanwhile, Fluff and Lightning had pulled up to the base finally.
"So how in the world are we going to get into that base, I am sure it is heavily guarded,"Lighning asked as the two got out of the car and Lightning was looking around. That is when they both heard an explosion and looked at one another. The two of them ran in that direction, skidding to a stop when they saw a hole in the side of the building.
"Well, seems someone answered your question for you,"Fluff noted to his sister.
"Awww, seems they started the party without us,"Lightning playfully pouted. The two went up to the hole, noticing two others there. They nodded to Iah and Jet, before Lightning started to lead the way inside.
"Thanks for the entrance,"Lightning spoke, before she was fully in the building, though not sure which of the two made it. Fluff followed her inside, his eyes adjusting to the change in light levels. They walked a little more inside, until his heart seemed to stop when he saw a familiar figure in a cage.
"Oh my goodness, Renee! Light...do you have one of your hair pins on you?"Fluff asked, turning to her with a pleading look in his eyes. He had not seen Renee since he had grown. As Lightning reached up into her hair and pulled out a pin, she walked over to the cage Renee was in and started to work on the lock. Soon she heard the satisfying click, before pulling the cage open.
"All your's, Fluff,"she grinned. Fluff gave her a grateful smile, before he walked into the cage, scooping up Renee in his arms.
"Hey you,"he whispered. While he was doing that, Lightning saw what looked like a Driftloon child staring out at her from the cell next to Renee's, the eyes practically asking her to free him. She got to work on picking the lock on his cage too, until it finally popped open. She offered a hand to the boy, who took it, leaning on her shoulder as soon as he was out.
"My name is Lightning. You can come with us,"she smiled. Aure nodded his thanks to her, as she turned to look at her brother as he came out of Renee's cell with her cradled in his arms.
'Thank you. Do you think I can go home with you? If not, it really is no trouble,Aure thought to the girl. Lightning smiled, assuring him he could come home with them. Maybe it would give Dea something to focus on.
"Alright, let's find the others and get out of here,"Fluff suggested, before leading the way further into the building, holding Renee protectively. He wasn't going to let anything hurt her in this place.
*************************************************
Kachina and Paian continued to follow the Arcanine, not knowing Alchemy had been chasing him too, until she was side tracked. They noticed most were staying clear of him, which they were glad for small favors. When they finally caught up to him, they both approached him very carefully. Kachina was ready to use Sleep Powder, if she had to, but she hoped he would listen to them. Paian had checked on Fluff and Lightning, so he knew they were here with Dea's car. He nodded to his sister, she was better with her words, he knew if he opened his mouth, he may make matters worse. He was gruff to anyone he was not close to, so Kachina's gentle touch was what this situation needed.
"Hey, we don't want to hurt you, okay? We are actually here because we were looking for our trainer's husband. If you want to stay hidden, our siblings have a car here. It is a bright blue car, can't miss it. Go to it and hide there, then when we are done, we will take you away from this place. Sound good?"Kachina asked Revelin gently, showing her hands up.

Humphrey and Tammy ran down the halls, unsure of where exactly they were heading. It was like a maze; so many doors and twists and turns. Humphrey skidded across the tile floors as he kept up the pace, Tammy stumbling after him. Confused Grunts lined the hallways, but failed to realize what was going on; leaving time for the fennekin and the ninetails to get past unharmed. Just then, at the end of another hall, Humphrey, who was in the lead, spotted a cart with all kinds of bottles on it. His eyes widened as he realized he couldn’t stop, and slammed directly into the cart. Bottles came crashing down all around him.
Tammy rushed over to check on him, “Are you okay?” he questioned, staring at the mess.
“Yes, but we have to keep going-“ Humphrey began, when he spotted one of the bottles that was still in tact. “Oooh hey, hold this for me would you. I think it’ll come in handy later,” he added, nosing the shiny bottle. It was a Growth potion.
“Umm okay,” Tammy replied, a little unsure. He had never seen a potion before. But if Humphrey said it was okay, then surely it was fine.
An angry sea of Grunts rounded the corner just then. “There they are!”
“Shoot!” Humphrey called out, “Let’s move!”
Tammy nodded. “Yes let’s!” And with that they took off in the opposite direction of the Grunts.
((sorry so short. ;w; I've been a bit busy. *snuggles you all*))

Kole watched Edith slowly come to, his head cocked with interest as she took in her surroundings and what had happened. He grinned when he saw it. Having expected panic or despair, he was quite pleased to see the acceptance. When she jumped up, he braced himself to catch her, surprising himself by hugging her close... That was the other Kole, not him. The way Edith looked at him, and held him, and that little smile...
His daze snapped away when the mischievous laugh reached his ears. Grumbling as Edith climbed him like a pole, he turned so that he could get a look at the giggling goon. A Litwick?
Edith’s defensive posture made him sigh with a smirk. “Your wing is broken. Won’t be much help like that. Let it rest.” Adjusting the petite Staravia to carry her more easily, his grin rose again. “Come on. I’m sure fun for me will also mean food for you~”
////////
The Gliscor guard looked at Shadow yelling at him, and waved the teen off dismissively. “Watch it, babysitter. I got higher orders than you. Straight from Dr. Murphy. If you’re smart, you’ll do the same as me.” His brow cocked as the mega Houndoom entered and started yelling at the mouthy hybrid, smirking slightly as he turned to continue his mission. More pokehumans were coming and going, so it was time for him to move on.
Riley blinked slowly, hating feeling so useless. He’d heard nothing about Kidd, and now he was being taken deeper into the facility? Kachina would be so worried. ..So disappointed. What about Thomas? What would he think? He’d surely be disappointed, too... The trip seemed to take forever, but he eventually ended up in a deep room that looked like an old prison chamber, cages lining one side while chains lined the other. Various pokemon with “special” traits were being corralled into here; others with an extra limb, or an additional trait of another kind of pokemon, or the wrong colors, just to name a few. Riley was carried over to the manacles on the wall, and secured there. As he slumped down, the Rocket thug left to hurry for another captive. ..Would Thomas even be able to find out what happened to him to be disappointed?

Undisturbed by the increasing activity, Kirsi continued to Rest; regaining her energy and health~

Truffles watched the Croagunk carefully, even putting a hand on Tyr’s shoulder to pull him back. Yet, that hushed voice made her perk her ears. She knew she hadn’t been the only one to act! A grin spread before she quickly smothered it, giving the girl a nod of understanding. More were in here... “Well, ya got me now. And Tyr, here.”
Tyr watched the unknown girl with a mix of anger and nervousness. What if she did try to stop them..? He gave a sigh of relief when Daphne’s intentions came through, and then glared up at Truffles. “Oheňdrak.”
Truffles poked Tyr’s cheek. “Shut it, Tyr. We’re getting’ out, an’ don’t need ya thinkin’ about that while we’re doin’ it.” Looking to Daphne, she gave a small gesture of her head. “I came in on a van through the big bay garage, and that should be a decent way out. Sounds like a mess is startin’ ta rile up in here. If you wanna split, that’s probably the best way ta go.”
Tyr snorted and looked over at the lab that was across from the cells. ...He was going to have a bit of fun first! He heard Truffles yell, but he bolted through the door. No one was in there anyway! Grinning, he knocked over desks and chairs, set papers on fire, and made as much of a mess as he could. One desk drawer flew open though, and a round stone rolled out, catching his eye. It was an interesting ball... Hearing another holler from Truffles, he scooped the stone up and tucked it into his pocket, completely unaware that he’d picked up a mega stone.
Shadow Pokemorph
I don’t mind the interaction. I saw Shadow noticed Riley was in the room, but I figured that Shadow was busy interacting with everyone else you’d listed, so I left it as noticing rather than interacting. I apologize if you wanted more interaction with Riley and I just assumed wrong. ^^;;
Liri
For the mega stones, is there going to be a guild thread to keep track of that like potions and blessings? And it's your turn!
((After the last few weeks I'm sure I've missed reponding to someone. Feel free to prod me if I forgot to interact/respond someway and I'll edit it in. Thanks!))
Iah was nearly frothing at the mouth as he listened Jet eyes snapping. "I am no stranger to Rocket labs like this. I will help get the innocents free. I need to find him. to find Riley...and I am going to paint the walls in the blood of Rocket once more." there was a decidedly mad grin on his face as he followed behind Jet, a maniacal laugh from him as he sank deeper into the darkess, giving into the madness, and the murderous rage. This was perfect.

Noble despaired seeing Amit unaffected and slumped back against the gurney he was strapped down to, teeth clenched together in anger. This was probably the angriest he'd ever felt to be honest. He understood why he was restrained and it left him feeling beyond helpless. The fight drained from him (for the moment). Maybe, once he was on his way of being put back in his cell he could manage something. For now...he gave in and submitted to the blood draw.
~
Alchemy found herself caught off guard by Shadow using hypnosis on her, and it was actually slightly effective on her. Enough so that he would be able to get keys, while she was left in a rather stunned state. He would probably be able to even let loose several of the cages while she was left out of sorts. So much so that the mud-slap from Velvet was not dodged. Was not felt, though when she finally snapped out of it, she would wonder just what the hell had happened!
It seemed that Shadow had done the right thing by attacking the Mega with that ability, as Revelin's escape proved. While she was out of comission, perhaps more could be let loose from the current area, and moved out. (Koujen can be? That's Dooma's call. Currently, Alchemy is under Hypnosis, so she's no threat. Quick, to the S.L.O.W. ...err...wrong thing brain. ...but really take advantage!)
~
Ransom found herself being transferred into a more secure area of the lab, hands secured behind her, and she was being poked and prodded hard to walk. One prod sent her stumbling and falling, knocking into a cart full of various objects. One of them bounced off and came rolling towards Nathaniel, a strange orb that he managed curled his hands around as she was being hauled up off the ground.
He was sniffling again, and she struggled recalling her promise to him. "I'M NOT GOING WITHOUT HIM!" she screeched loudly, and Nathaniel quickly pulled his hands from his pockets, the orb left behind as he found himself dragged from the cage a Rocket member sneering at him. "Okay then girly, you want to bring the bear, we'll bring the bear. It'll be fun watching you two do in one another." they figured being fire and ice, the pair would end up fighting!
~
Angel was pausing to rest as needed, not used to this amount of flying, but it was as he was nearing where he last saw the van going in the distance that he spotted Devin who looked angry. Upset...and as if he were searching for someone. He debated a moment, before he was jumping down from a tree, looking up at the tall Sawsbuck male, and swallowed hard. "Are you...you're looking for someone aren't you? Taken by Team Rocket?" an assumption he knew, but then so many were searching these days that perhaps not so far-fetched of an assumption. "I saw where one of their vans went."

Shadow the Pokemorph
I saw the post where Shadow glanced at Koujen and wondered about him but since he did not really interact with him and left there really was nothing for Koujen to respond to not that he really could with how much in pain he was in.
Just to let everyone know to make sure we could get far enough and get all of our characters near the facility Melomar and I agreed to combine our posts. So I will be posting a combined set of replies for a couple of mine and her mons. She will most likely do the same on her post. I hope this does not upset anyone.
As for Koujen's location what ever is better for everyone sure you can have him near others.
Rostek smiled at the farfetched and her human. They seemed to close and friendly to be bad so he would trust that they really were trying to get friends who were taken and kidnapped. “Switch and…Theo.” he flushed and gave a nod of his head, “My name is Rostek.” He said and turned to watch Switch. “Mitja? I do not know that name Switch. But I would be very glad to help you with getting your friends back.” He said and moved to help guide Theo towards Switch, “I would be glad to help you both…and this Mitja. It sounds like there was a crash!”
Rocío thought she saw a flush of color pass across Rostek's face and her eyes widened. Suddenly he didn't seem so scary after all. She allowed herself to be ushered forward by the gigalith child. His touch could have been rough but it wasn't; a frail body recognizes such things. As Switch turned back toward them, the farfetch'd seemed to notice her small smile.
Switch pinned Rostek with her natural glare. She nodded curtly and headed out toward the road, replying to him over her shoulder, trusting him with Rocío. "Mitja is very strong, I think. If she's after the same guys, that crash is nothing. They're going to hurt in the morning."
A crash? "You could hear that? Both of you?" Theo looked from one to the other as she made it back to the side of the road. "Thank you, Rostek."
"You let me know if you get too tired, Theo." Switch waited for Rocío's nod before setting off down the road at a run.
By the time they made it to the crash site, Mitja had already started her battle with Team Rocket. Switch was panting a little but ready to go. She rushed forward with her walking stick named Bait to help the young poké-woman she looked up to. Theo required several moments to catch her breath before meeting up with the ones Mitja had rescued. Among them were friends and strangers alike, but she helped them the best she could, given her camp out survival training.
Rostek was very much aware of his strength and hardness of his body so he was very gentle when dealing with others. He was not the most violent type and with his size if often never had to be but he was aware that he might have to actually fight now. He was focused on guiding Rocìo but when he looked up and saw the look the farfetch’d female was giving him he winced a bit.
Half way to the crash site Rostek turned his attention back to Rocìo, “Miss Theo if you are tired please climb up upon my back and you can ride me.” He waited for a moment with Theo before looking towards the fight. He did not know where he should be but if Theo was with their friend maybe he could go and help miss Switch. “Will you be alright here miss Theo?” Upon receiving her reply Rostek would hurry towards the big fight bracing himself for the up coming fight.
Surprisingly, Switch needn't have asked Rocío to tell her when she was tired. Rostek was attentive to her failing strength and she gratefully accepted his offer and thanked him. Perched upon his back, the small human child found the ride like... a smoothly moving stone. There really was nothing to compare it to, but she was smiling when she dismounted, despite her shortness of breath. His question earned him a confident nod: "I'm not used to this much travel at once, but I will be all right. If you get hurt, I'll fix you up! But... I'd rather that not happen," she grinned. "Good luck!”
Mitja having freed those caught in the crashed van she hissed and went after the fleeing members of team rocket. He ran with a rather dangerous furry. She had not gotten to brawl or fight in a long time and her natural rough and aggressive nature had built up a bit too strongly at this rate she had full intention to maim and harm humans not just other ‘evil’ pokemon. She was a bit too worked up right now, maybe it was pms or the twins would tease her that she needed to get laid and maybe she should jump on a certain party crasher at the club. Did not know why she could picture that stupid, but charming, smiling face beaming at her and Gao saying that the young pup could relieve her stress. She tensed and growled as she drew closer to the facility she could hear a large commotion. “Let’s do this!” she said and jumped into the fray her body slick with venom and a goofy grin spreading across her own lips. Not aware that a familiar face was in the group Eclipse and Benoni were now a part of.
Team Rocket was hit on many sides. Out of the corner of Eclipse's mind he recognized a familiar voice, but he did not register it until he saw Mitja viciously tearing her way through grunts left and right. Her movements were magnificent, blows solid, and footwork quick and balanced. She was pissed. Some of her victims seemed to clutch their bodies where no damage was visible. Was she poisoning them too? With a grimace he started to slip away to avoid her notice. He did not want to be on her bad side right now.
"Oh no you don't!" Switch's keen eyes caught the umbreon boy's slippery retreat and hustled over to him. A fierce Slash with Bait and he was yowling with surprise. Eclipse returned to battle with a Quick Attack and an equally powerful pout. Neither hurt her much, but his return strikes sent her backpedaling just long enough to attempt to flee again. At least for now. Things were finally beginning to look grim.
Partly because he had already been within her mind a certain grunting sound hit home with the freaking out whirlepede. Mitja’s hooded angry eyes narrowed with intent and she scanned the crowd. Seeing the speck of night attacking Switch made the skin on her body crawl. With a quick pursuit Mitja shot out in front of the unbreon causing him to run right into her. She hissed and grabbed his arms, “You little trouble marker.” Why was she feeling happy to see him despite the annoyance it caused. “You are helping to kidnap pokemon? Sneaking into clubs was not enough you have to attack people now? What the hell are you thinking?” the look on her face was far from amused and venom clearly dripped off her spikes.
With a non attacking Shadow Sneak the shadow of Benoni appeared behind Eclipse her sickening wide smile and bright distant eyes appearing first before her form became visible. She hovered behind the unbreom bent over a bit she rested her arms on his shoulders and smiled beamed at Mitja. "What an ugly pokehuman. Go away you ruining the fun and party." She giggled and seeing a further narrowing of the whirlepede's eyes she wrapped her arms around Eclipse’s shoulder and hugged onto him.
Switch gritted her teeth when she realized that Eclipse was making his retreat. She had recognized him immediately, and from his reputation at the club he was definitely bad news. She could not possibly know what he had done for Team Rocket, but he was wearing the bright red "R" and that was enough for her. Mitja seemed to have the situation under control however, having stepped into her impressive bouncer roll!
But then a strange apparation appeared between them, her presence making Switch's feathers stand on end even before the shedinja girl was seen. If she had been ready to leave the umbreon boy in Mitja's capable care, Switch had definitely changed her mind, leaping into the air and striking with an unavoidable Aerial Ace.
If Mitja's dangerous venom had not become so plainly obvious, Eclipse would have been less impressed by her parent-like tone. But she was spared that glare of disappointment. In addition to his impact with the whirlipede teen's armor-like body, he felt the weight of Benoni as she leaned on his shoulders. "Oh wow, I've been sandwiched by two pretty ladies!" he managed, before feeling yet another impact from behind, this time by Switch. Now he really was beginning to feel like mangled filling.
Bürschli Mayzel could feel the tendrils of a powerful mind reaching out and trying to embrace the munna teen she clutched. It was making her ill and she drew her defensives tighter and started to draw the munna in to her membrane this strong presence was clearly after the Munna. He was already in pain he did not need any direct attacks. She was sure he would shatter.
The pressure around her mind was getting stronger and painful but as soon as a figure stepped into view and a short cloaked figure appeared with both worried and violent eyes the feeling dissipated and she was able to breath again. She glanced around hearing him call out and tensed again around Koujen she could clearly feel he was not human so he was one of their minions. Though she tilted her head when he spoke more soft to her. The Munna is suffering…drugged and in pain.
Koujen lay, his body completely limp, in the large arms of Bürschli Mayzel. He did not know that his ‘protector’ was near by. His mind was fully blank now that he was mostly surround by the gel around the reniclus, the drugs he had been given were now able to take effect. Though tears did still make their way down his cheeks.
Clearly, this reuniclus protected Koujen from other minds, and had even used her own body as both pillow and shield. He would forgive her interference for protecting one whom he would assume for now was a complete stranger. Despite this and help from the drugs, Koujen was in pain. Why was he here? For a moment, his objective was forgotten and his only desire was to take the munna home.
A scene flashed before his eyes. Vectors shooting out from his body and flaring into visibility, their violet "hands" grabbing support structures and rending the building asunder. A translucent Barrier protecting the trio from debris. The bodies of Havard, Koujen and the reuniclus, and other pokemon nearby lifted gently off the broken ground and safely away from the destruction. Glimpses of bloodied Team Rocket discovering a new hire had turned on them.
But the pokemon at his belt reminded him that though Koujen's abuse was unfortunate, he had others to save as well. He sighed and the imagery faded from his mind. Agreed. Yes, as strong as his desire to destroy everything and go home, he needed to locate the friends of his entourage. And it would seem that many others had been taken as well. What to do?
To the reuniclus, he spoke in a calm, cold manner: "I have the key to this cell and I will transport you to a safer place deeper within the building. Cooperate and you will come to no harm." Why was he here? What had they done to him? What drug flowed through his system? Telepathically, his voice shook, emotion thick and boiling with these questions. He is mine-- my... friend. I want to take him home but I have to find others... other friends... first.
Bürschli Mayzel watched the metwo contemplating things. His face was nearly emotionless if not angry. She feel though his mind raging with several thoughts, plans, actions. She shook her head, Deal with your other friends. Unlock the cell and I shall protect the munna for now. But pokemon can not own other pokemon…this Munna is not yours. she scolded him like a mother would though she was still young. She did give a goofy smile though, even in time of crisis there could still be a bit of a pause in the chaos. She got up hovering with Koujen swill out cold now cradled in both her large arms. Munna’s mind is unstable. He may discharge an attack when he wakes…could be bad. I shall try to contain it. Mewtwo better hurry!
Havard ignored the sting of the reuniclus’ disapproval. More important than his slip was the fact that she had already figured out that he was not merely human but a mewtwo as well. Conventional rules do not guide me, Reuniclus, he replied with the jingle of keys and click of the turning lock. When the door swung free there was no key in the door and never had been. ’This Munna' called out to me before you silenced him. Let me into his mind and he may calm down. Then I will go.
Somewhere nearby, an explosion intruded from the outside and it made even the onix-child's tantrums seem insignificant. Walls and floors shook and cracked, dust fell from the ceiling. Someone else had acted upon Havard's wish. His eyes were the only clue to his hidden smirk. Hurry, Reuniclus.
Amit was a bit disappointed that suddenly Noble seemed to give him. He was rather excited that there was a challenge. He shrugged and walked over to prep and draw the blood a large enough quantity that a two missing vials would not be noticed, and not really aware that there was someone watching his actions. As he was pulling the needle out he looked up feeling the sudden shaking of a distant explosion. "Looks like my fun is coming to an end..."
Right now was the prefect time for a young Delibird named Risketi to make her move. She was moving threw the sleeping quarters of the Rocket labs doing what she loved doing and that was stealing the human's undergarments. A strange profession of course but one the little thief loved very much. She perfered men's boxers or the rare and wonderful boy short. And only only steal panties if there was a matching bra to go with it. She giggled as best she could as she rooted threw the bags and drawers in the barracks like sleeping quarters. "Merry Christmas to me!" She did not care about the fight or anything going on just that it made for a perfect cover and she was getting a huge haul.

Petaya is calling out to Eilam.
Sverre paused in the mess he was attempting to make, walking on all fours to the door, looking out, sniffing at the air. There was... something going on, wasn't there? He could smell it, and something else too, a scent that only belonged to a certain zapdos that he knew quite. Giviing a rumbling between sharp teeth, wondering if this meant that Ramiel was here to pick him up? That was good, he was getting bored of being in this cage and wanted to get out of here and head back home. Just as he was thinking this a member of the Rocket Gang, carrying something rather shiny in her hands, came a bit too close to his cage.
Lunging forward the aerodactyl gave a snarling sound, startling her, causing her drop the pretty. It bounced a couple times, with her scrambling to catch it, before he rolled into Sverre's cage. He turned to look toward the round ball, sensing great power coming from it... and almost instantly he scooped it up, jamming the ball into his mouth. Outside of his cage the woman could only stare in abject horror as the megastone was devoured by the aerodactyl teen whose cage bore a sign that read 'Waring: Feral' which meant opening said door wasn't the best of ideas. Still, she knew that she had to hurry and get the megastone back before anyone realized her mistake.
A moment later the woman had returned with a cattle prod and a set of keys, threatening Sverre with a 'good shocking' if he didn't give the orb back to her that she was currently chewing on. It was a threat that caused him to take a step back, not at all appreciating electrical attacks since it was something that was pretty effective against a flying type... but the moment the door opened he went from slightly cowed to charging forward. The aerodactyl crashed into the woman, sending her flying, before he was racing down between walkway between the cages in search of Ramiel who he could smell at the moment. He'd do his best to crash his way between everything that stood between Ramiel and himself but it was debatable how far he'd get given security.

Overhead Ramiel watched as an attack started on what he would assume was where the others were hiding out. He blinked his dark eyes a couple times before he started to look around, giving a thoughtful sound. If that was the place, if that was where the kidnapped Pokemon were taken, then that meant that it was where Sverre was as well. He needed to get in there as well, needed to take back the one that was his. Gathering energy from the sky around himself, charging his body with its power, Ramiel sent a blast of thunder down upon the place... but in a different area from where others were breaking in.
He wanted to cause a distraction, to make a mess, and hopefully allow the others that seemed to be breaking to do so well. Once the Thunder attack had rained down upon the place he allowed himself to land lightly. He looked from side to side, then forward, "Alright, Sverre, where are you?" He murmured to himself wondering where he was at, if he was being good, or if he was instead making a mess which was more something he'd do.

Still searching for a sigh as to where Noble had been taken. He wanted nothing more then to get to that place, to find him, to make sure that he was safe. His attempts to follow the tracks were starting to get skewed though, messed up by others who walked over them, the wind, and various other things... and then here he was, feeling as though he was walking in circles. His heart was thudding painfully in his chest, fear filling him. What if he wasn't able to find him?!
Just as he thought that someone appeared before him, offering him some help. He blinked a couple times before he nodded his head, "I am looking for someone that they took from me, yes. I just need a point in the right direction if possible." His eyes went wide as the boy said that he had seen where the van had gone, "Ahh... where did they go? Please, any information would be appreciated, they took someone away from me that is really important." If this boy could lead him to Noble he would be eternally grateful, would owe him everything! Giving a little sigh he said, "If you can tell me where they went, please do."
*****
Eyes going wide Petaya crawled out from under the bed when it seemed that the one across from him was on the move. It was something that had him dragging himself to his feet, leaning against the bars, eyes wide, "Ahhh...?" Was he going to try to break out? Was he gonna leave this place? Could he could go with them? His eyes wide, body twitching. He wanted to go with them, wanted to get out of this scary place.
"P-Please... A-Arceus... can you let me out?" He called out in a hushed whisper, wanting to get out as quickly as possible even if that meant fighting, which was something he wasn't good at. He would if he had to, would fight, would attack... at least he'd do that once he worked up the courage to actually use one of his attacks.
