Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Did no one even try to save me from that burning and then sinking helicopter? Really?" Sub asked as his Mandibuzz dropped him back onto the bridge, the man now soaking wet and his Spiritomb laughing at him as it floated above. "I really feel the love here. I moved a freaking helicopter and you guys don't even blink. I mean come on I-...where did those guys come from?" His rant was cut short as he took notice of the familiar faces of Smarts, Slim, and Buff. He was too tired to really worry about it though, and too tired to even join the fight, instead he chose to sit right there on the bridge and watch as he recovered from his sorcery, or whatever you would want to call it.

Nidoking began to flail around as the Joltik bite down on it, the beast would then attempt to pull the bug off its chest, that thing hurt. Due to its flailing it managed to avoid most of the Hydro Pump, but a good portion did splash on it causing the monster to growl in pain and stumble into the Water Spout, causing it more pain. "Lame! Fight my Nidoking like a man!" Buff shouted. "Body Slam the ground!" He ordered. And so the Poison Pokemon would do as told, jumping off the ground a few inches, spread its arms and legs out, and prepared to belly flop the ground with Four still on its chest.

As the Sand Attack was flung at Persian the cat would hiss as dirt and debris got in its eyes, that was one mad kitty now. Regardless of its anger and displeasure, the Sand Attack served its purpose and the feline stopped its screeching for the time being, and now being harmed by the enemy's loud noise. "Calm down, Persian, and use Flash. Return the favor." Slim commanded, his Persian responding to the command by unleashing a bright red flash from its gem, aiming to blind those near it.

Hypno though had seeming foresaw the incoming Spike Cannon and quickly prepared to snatch up the spikes with its Psychic attack, gaining control of them and guiding them straight towards the incoming Inferno, in order to disrupt and put an end to the incoming flames. I suppose its passive stance was it using Future Sight.

In all this chaos someone would approach Roxas, a Rocket to be exact, except this one seemed to not be hostile. "Those three over there, they are only attempting to stall for time. Just like the Underground Path, this bridge is rigged with explosives on its pillars and in just minutes it will blow. You should warn your friends." The Rocket grunt would tell Roxas before walking. Should Roxas turn to watch him walk away, he would find the grunt to be gone. How odd. The fate of the bridge though was now in Roxas's hands, could he warn the others in time?

Reno looked over to the now airborne Nidoking, the original idea to use Hydro Pump once again quashed by the Joltik on its chest. Realizing a much more clever plan of attack, Reno whispered to Tesei and watched the action. Cold air and water would swiftly condense into a spire of ice positioned away from where the Joltik would be when the rapidly falling Nidoking met the icy implement. This focus in helping another would lead to the two falling towards the Hypno without any focus on this descent.

Leslie finally got her bike to catch up to the rest of the group, having backed off a fair distance upon seeing Reno remotely close to the helicopter. Her arrival would position her next to Roxas in time to see Reno's daring leap into the air and allowed her to eavesdrop on whoever it was speaking up. Looking and finding no one there now, Leslie looked puzzled for a bit until finally accepting the oddity and looking to Roxas. "You go to the left side, I got the right. Okay, GO!!!" The more excitable girl now shouted with glee, leaping off the side of the bridge to splash down and allow Church to float down beside her. Directing him towards the bridge supports, the Porygon would scour for something electronic to examine and, if any were found, enter them in order to hack away at the code for them.

Slam! Nidoking was hit and hard. The beast wasn't able to withstand this blow after the previous attacks and tumbled backwards, skidding against the ground, knocked out cold. "I thought this thing was strong!" Buff shouted out of anger, recalling his Pokemon, jumping on his motorcycle and revving it several times. "I'm not out of this fight yet!" He screamed as he raced his bike towards Hawk, jumping off the vehicle after it gained speed and sent it racing by its self right at the Snagem.

Persian was indeed hit, but the uncordinated attack was easy enough for the limber cat to fight through and Bite down on Dahlia. Slim would say nothing though, he was too focused on the fight at hand.

Hypno wouldn't move, though it was aware of Cloyster's descent. During this time, before the Water type would crush it, Brains would suddenly go wide eyed and look behind quickly, jumping on her bike and racing towards the side of the bridge. Did Hypno alert her to Leslie? Regardless, once she left Hypno would spin around and look up, throwing its hands up as Cloyster began to crush it. It would seem the Pokemon was indeed flattened, but that was until it would attempt to raise the Cloyster up off it with its psychic power and hands and then Zen Headbutt it away.

Church would might find a very tiny metal box on the nearest pillar, unguarded.

Reno looked down to his now levitating ride and began to panic for a bit before yanking on the side of Tesei's shell and sent the two of them spinning around a bit, not enough to escape the blow but instead to line up a more level shot across the bridge. The Hypno would connect directly into the soft bit of Tesei that controlled the massive shell, dealing heavy damage and sending him and his trainer flying across the bridge towards Slim. Breathing a sigh in the middle of the ludicrous rotation Tesei was now experiencing, Reno wondered where exactly they would land this time.

Cxhurch would dive into the metal box in hopes of finding some form of circuitry that it could alter to prevent detonation, or even better, a way to trace the signal for detonation back to its source.

Hypno would cry out in pain as it was subjected to those horrific images, dropping his pendalum as he fell to the ground, covering his eyes in vain. The poor Psychich was useless like this, nothing more than a husk filled with fear and dread. It wasn't going to bother anyone now.

Slim would notice the incoming Cloyster as well as Reno and sigh. He would attempt to dive out of the way but one of Cloyster's shell spikes would cut his leg, leaving a nice gash as the tall man landed on the ground, holding his leg in pain but doing very well at keeping a straight face as to not show the pain which he was facing. His Persian wasn't doing very well as it was just clamped down on as well, but her trainer wasn't done yet. "Persian, U-Turn." He ordered. The cat would hiss, sounding almost pleased as its gem shined green, the cat headbutting the croc before disappearing in the same green flash, going back to its Pokeball.

What replaced the Persian may spell trouble for the Snagems. "Aerodactyl!" The beast cried as it appeared above Krokorok. It was an Aerodactyl as others might notice, but this thing was big, slightly larger than normal, and it emitted a strange presence, one which might Unnerve the Snagem's Pokemon, trying to drain them of their courage. "I was suppose to save this one but we have no choice...Hyper Beam." Slim said in a dull tone. With a massive roar the ancient beast would unleash hell on the Snagems in the form of a powerful beam of energy which it used to sweep across the bridge as it flew around, targeting everyone it could. One must wonder something however, how did Team Rocket get a hold of an Aerodactyl? And who brought it back for them? It was obvious the Pokemon Lab in Cinnabar wouldn't do it, least not willingly.

"Agh! You messed up my epic assault!" Buff shouted as his bike simply flew off the bridge, stomping his feet angry. "Oh wait, there is this!" He sneered as he took out a remote device, pressing a button on it and a nearby pillar then exploding, causing the area of the bridge they were on to lean to the side, Buff cackling as he took out a rope and hook, throwing it around the railing on the other side to support himself, Slim would do this as well.

As for Smarts, she would catch up to Leslie and scowl at the girl as she rode on a Tentacruel in the water. "So you figured out our plan. I don't know how you did, but I have to stop you." That said, Tentacruel woudl lash one of its tentacles out at Leslie, attempting to grab a hold of her. If successful, a type of poison would sink into her skin through the tentacle, a Toxic.

Church would find that the device was very low key. There was very little he could do on the inside of it, however, it would be incredibly easy for him to find where the signal for the detonation was coming from, Buff.

Dahlia flinched back at the Persian's attack, and was ready to retaliate once more, but, the feline had disappeared. It wasn't long before the Krokorok noticed the giant Aerodactyl that had appeared above her. Seeing the attack that was being unleashed on the Snagems, Dahlia rushed over to her trainer and the other boy, curling herself over them and using Protect to shield the two from the incoming attack. Neither trainer seemed to be in the condition to fight back at this point, so Dahlia knew that protecting the two would be the best thing to do at this point in time.

The Aerodactyl roared as it took a face full of fire. While it didn't harm its skin much, that heat did sting its eyes, causing the beast to dive and rise erratically through the air, the Hydro Pump clipping its wing, causing it to now tumble in midair. If anything the two attacks got it to stop its Hyper Beam, but the beast didn't seem happy about it as it regain its upright position in midair, panting as it recovered from the Hyper Beam. Slim just watched, waiting to see what the Snagems had planned for his beast.

Church would probably have a simple time at disarming the bombs, as stated, they weren't nothing high tech. Buff however didn't realize that and with a toothy grin he pressed the button on the remote, expecting another explosion, except...nothing happened. "What!? Why won't it won't!?" He shouted as he continued to press the button angrily.

As for Leslie, Smarts didn't plan on trying to kill her or anything, this was confirmed when she had Tentacruel try and scoop her up out of the water and set her down on top of its head. Smarts would then speak to Leslie, hoping that she was weakened from the poison so she could tie her hands behind her back, and gag her. "I'm taking you as a hostage." She would say, if successful.
