Jack lifted Dora up finally, moving to carry her towards the beginning of the trail. "Come on, kiddo. Talk to me. Keep awake. Tell me about your place." Jack said, gently. Fleeing-- A good idea.

Cara stepped in front of Xander, she had made sure that the cuffs were secure and locked, in her opinion anyway. She stood before her collar and thought about his question. Would she really change her job choice now? After all that had transpired in the past couple days, would she really change careers? A thought occurred to her as she thought this over.... Is he...? He's...trying to distract me. At this thought she looked up, a rye smile on her face, her normally kind eyes hard once more. "Hn, no, not anymore. I'm sticking with this. Since Team Rocket is back, someone needs to stand up to you lot. And don't think I'm buying this, you're trying to distract me, aren't you Xander?" At this Tiger stood up in a defensive position and growled lowly, ready for anything.
"Arrrrrcaniiine."

Almost got it, jut a little bit more to go. Xander's smirk got bigger and he tilted his head slightly. "Oh good, good to know there is at least one officer who can hold their own." He then gave an innocent look look to her. "Distract you? Why ever for?" He purred just before there was a clink from the cuffs as they unlocked. He then backed away from them while holding the cuffs up for her to see. "Word of caution, always make sure that you know any particular skill sets of people you try to arrest." he said then called out Kotetsu and tossed the hand cuffs at Cara's feet. "Now if you will excuse us, we have more trainers to beat."

Tenko felt like her head was just going to explode from overstimulation. She held her head in her hands and said, "What just happened here?" So much had. It turned out there were Team Rocket members amongst the traveling group. She fought one and won...somehow. She'd have to spoil this Duskull rotten before returning it to where she rented it.

____________W I T H . A N . E P I C . C O N C L U S I O N
The battle seemed to rage on for days, with one side seemingly taking the lead, and then the other. Determination fueled both sides, and pent up anger was finally released. The dust brought up from the fray made it difficult to see who was on which side. By the end, everyone and their pokemon was dead beyond tired.
Just then, a shrill cry was heard. It was close. You recognized it as the one from that night-- the cry that first brought you here. Your mind was brought back to it's sad cries and how it wanted you to find it.
A few from the group moved towards the sound. You followed, not wanting to be left behind in a ditch, and still curious about what the creature was and what it wanted. I mean, you were already this far up the mountain, you might as well see the darn thing.
You come to a fairly large facility which, upon first glance, looked abandoned. This couldn't be right, why was there building this far up the mountain? It would be extremely difficult to get groceries.
Just when you were about to turn back and look for another road, you heard the pokemon cry again. It was coming from inside the building. You rush ahead, breaking down the doors with your pokemon. Rockets followed close behind, shanking people left and right cursing under their breaths.
Inside, you find the building was merely a shell. The ground was nothing but dirt. The walls were fairly thin, serving only to shield what was held here from the outside. Covering most of the ground area was a large lake.
Off to a far corner was the pokemon that must have cried out to you. It was in chains. A few people in black uniforms with the letter "R" on their clothing were attempting to sedate it with tranquilizers. On the other side of the building was what looked like a water bottling machine. A hose went from the lake to the enclosed machine. On the other side, water bottles rolled down a conveyor belt into boxes, which more uniformed people carried into a truck.
Upon surveying the scene, the trainers hurried to the suicune's side...
RP Prompt 13 (( Deadline: 48 hrs or Jan 23 @ 5PM PST / 6PM MST / 7PM CST / 8PM ESTThis last portion of the event is an RP contest open to everyone-- I decided to have it this way instead of only letting the winning side have the lgendary, but the winning side will still influence our future plots. Only throw a pokeball if you wish to have a chance at the suicune. You may edit your post any time before the deadline, but make sure everything you want to counted is in your post with the pokeball. If you already won a pokemon, you can still RP, but you cannot try for the suicune and don't post the pokeball image. Trainers: Attempt to calm the Suicune and convince it that you will give it a better home, should it decide to come with you. Rockets: Attempt to convince TR Executives how well you did on the mission, how you are a good Rocket, and why you deserve suicune. When the winner is decided, I will post the last part of the conclusion with it. Don't forget your pokeball!

Jack helped Dora follow the cries, carrying her slowly. Duskull trailed after the woman, fidgeting shyly as they moved. And then, Suicune. For a moment, Jack's finger's twitched. She mentally cursed the lack of a pokeball -- she couldn't prove anything to her family without a legendary -- and Jack looked at Dora, and leaned her on a wall, cracking her knuckles. Idiots were one thing. Cruelty to a Pokemon was completely different, and Jack swung at the first member of Team Rocket she could, raging. " LET THAT POKEMON GO!"

Clyde ran quickly into the makeshift warehouse, dodging and weaving through the mass of people and pokemon. What were those idiots doing, couldn't they hear the herd of trainers making their way up here? Trainers that wanted to stop the water bottle production?
Water bottle production. Not their most evil scheme, but hey it had the potential to make a lot of money. Clyde was about to administer the tranquilizer himself, or have Hades paralyze the noisy Legendary, when suddenly a fist was headed his way. With pent up rage and frustration on how the mission had started to nose dive, he blocked the fist with his left and swung with his right, regardless of the gender of the person he was about to hit. "Shut up, and get out of here if you know what's good for you!" He roared.

Dora was.... to say she was upset by seeing the Suicune being so blatantly harmed and taken advantage of was something of an understatement. Even though she was having trouble keeping her feet under her, she managed to glare at the rockets, and eased herself away from Jack so that her older companion could deal with things as she saw fit. "Be careful, Jack," she said, gaze going back to the suicune, a sad expression on her face. "And... show no mercy. These abusive asses don't deserve it." While she wasn't sure what Jack could do when she (Dora was pretty sure by this point that Jack was a woman) didn't have a pokémon, the not-quite a trainer looked like she could handle herself, even with Rockets attacking her. With fists. Oh boy.

Clyde's fist connected with Jack's jaw, and for a moment she swallowed, frowning at an irony, slick taste, before grinning, doffing her fedora to Dora, putting it on Mordred's head before spinning on Clyde, lunging to attack. "Don't think so!" Jack snarled, finally grinning wickedly. Oh no no. Noone was hurting the pokemon further. "It's the end 'o' the line for this operation."

Water bottling. Team rocket captured a legendary Pokemon to bottle water? What the frag? Lexis lift a brow and then looked back, motioning her hand at the pokemon. "You capture a Suicune to bottle water?" Of all the stupidity. She snorted and huffed, bringing out her pokemon. "This is just sad and horrible."

Clyde wasn't sure at all who he just hit, but damn, their jaw hurt his hand. It had been awhile since he had really sparred with anyone. He needed to remedy that once he got back to base. While most liked to employ knives, Clyde preferred the rush of hand to hand combat, though he had thought about getting a gun for tricker situations.
After his hand made contact with the other person's face, he recoiled it back behind his body and at the same time, made an attempt to swiftly block his opponent's next fist while reaching the other fist in a hook towards the side of her body. "That's what you think," He retorted.
His attempt to swiftly block wasn't so swift, since he was so rusty and he appeared to be evenly matched; the other person clipped his jaw pretty badly. That would bruise later. But hopefully he was about to feel the side of the other person, maybe even knock them down.

As much as the Suicune was pretty, it was still a water type, and while she supposed that it wouldn't be too bad, she wasn't interested.
Much. Might be the one water type that she might make an exception for, but she hadn't decided that yet.
Besides, between team rocket and the trainers, she really didn't want to get into it. This was looking like it could turn into another fight at any moment, especially with the pokemon chained down and several rockets working on sedating it.
Still, it did need to be set free, though she wasn't sure how to manage that. Stabbing would be fairly effective, but the keys would be more so. If she could figure out which one of them had them.
Troublesome.
And then, what was with the water bottles? Like really. Wasn't this the sort of thing Team Aqua was supposed to be doing?
She chucked, moving over to the Suicune. "You'll be free soon," she whispered, and then took a good look at the ones that were attempting to tranquilize it. Hmm. This was going to take some investigation, but once she figured out who had the key, it was hers.

((Just moving the fight along so people can talk to Clyde to get their prompts in ^^ ))
Clyde's fist did not find the side of his opponent; they had dodged. He ducked just in case he had to avoid another punch to the face. While he was ducked down, he flicked a pokeball open from the clip at his waist. "Take care of this guy, Hades," He said, quickly darting backwards toward the Suicune. He needed a breather. "And when you're done, make a fire barrier or something so no one can get near the Suicune," Clyde commanded. Hades narrowed his eyes and began to purse the human he was told to attack. He didn't mind attacking humans at all, but really? Wasn't it his job to fight his own species, and for his 'master' to fight other humans? Tch. More orders. His master was lazy, couldn't he do any of this himself?
The Rocket Executive slumped against a flimsy wall, sort of close to the cage that many trainers seemed keen on getting near to. What, did they think they might look the legendary in the eye and it might fall under their spell of friendship, just because they wanted to 'save' it? Tch. What dumb kids. "Hey, paws off, kid," He snapped at some girl inching closer to the cage. They were probably all eyeing the thing, thinking of how they could make it theirs. They weren't any less selfish than they claimed Team Rocket to be. But whatever. No kid was gonna get their legendary. Hopefully Hades would be quick finishing his fight and could then make a fire barrier around the cage.

Fifi paused next to Clyde, glancing around to make sure no one else was within hearing distance before she spoke. “Wow, using a legendary to purify water. Is it just me, or is that a waste of resources and a giant invitation for something to go wrong?” Fifi asked rhetorically. “I thought we were supposed to have a lower profile here in Zatao? And here I was, trying for plausible deniability and verisimilitude,” she mused, tucking a bit of her tangled, twig filled hair behind her ear with an arm decorated with several deep scratches. “I even managed to convince the girl I drugged that not only was I not a Rocket, but that I hadn’t done anything to her at all, was concerned for her welfare, and had only just now joined Team Rocket because of how mean she and her friends had been.” She passed a pokeball to Clyde. “And unlike all those thefts, I managed to grab a pokemon for Team Rocket that doesn’t have a furious trainer attached. Why don’t you let me play poor shocked, naïve Fifi, rescue that Suicune, and meet you back at base once I’ve thrown suspicion off?” Fifi suggested. “Besides, having a legendary will make it so much easier for a sweet-looking girl like me to catch more rare pokemon in the future. No one ever suspects the girl who just had her own Suicune stolen of being the thief, now do they?” she said slyly.

The Rocket Executive stood sweating near the legendary. This mission was exhausting. He wiped some sweat from his brow, a tempting thought to grab one of the bottles of water...But then, a girl appeared. Clyde nearly jumped at how quickly and silently the blonde girl had appeared next to him. A trainer? Oh no, it was the ditzy Rocket girl. At least it was a person on his side, however annoying. What did she want - woah. There was a change. She knew some big words after all. "Well," He said, blinking his eyes in surprise. "I'm taken aback, to say the least, but you have some good points there," His brain sorted out all she was saying.
Yeah she did do a pretty great job at playing innocent. Though, she did announce her intentions to join Team Rocket after the one trainer 'forced' her too. Her and Juno had some great theatrics back there, they got points for that. A campaign to provide a home for the homeless, now there was an idea. He'd save that for later. The Rocket turned the pokeball over in his hands, but didn't want to open it just yet. "What'd you nab that doesn't have a trainer?" He asked while considering the rest of her surprisingly well-thought out statement. "But yeah. Wow. Um, that does sound good, I guess, if you can pull it off. I can't really give you permission to do that, per say, but if you can do it, I'll be more than happy to say I gave you the okay," He finished, smirking slightly.
