Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I'll be the judge of that," Seth grumbled in responce before running away from the wall of flames and the bullets that continued whizzing past, with TRP in tow. Seth's Steelix was also keeping away from the flames, but obediently sat waiting for his master to return. The giant steel snake with the toothy grin watching as Rockets ran past.

When TRP's Charizard flew up alongside them, Seth quickly but carefully placed the blond on her pokemon's back before hopping on as well.

"Earthquake!" Seth shouted to his Steelix as they flew past him. The Pokemon letting out a gutteral growl, a signal for everyone to move. Once everyone was out of the way, the Steelix slammed his tail on the ground. A rippling wave of earth going down the alley and eventually sending the Growlithes, that Furin hadn't already disposed of, flipping into the air.

On the other side of the flames Officer Jenny held up her hand. "Cease fire! I think they got the point." Yes it had been a bit overkill, but the message was clear. Kodo's Pokeforce would not stand Team Rocket's presence and certainly wouldn't let them take over the region. Like they had done in Kanto and Johto years before.

The Metagross that had been taking up the rear managed to catch the call of an attack that it was rather familiar with. It was not its trainer, but another one. In the interest of self preservation, it seemed that the Metagross calculated now would be an appropriate time to use another move. Just short of the attack thundering through the ground, the other hulking steel type began to glow of a strange yellow energy.

Magnet Rise was PWN'D's friend. It didn't take long for the Pokemon to float into the air, narrowly dodging the Earthquake rumbling through the ground.

1337 was of no help to Hayes. Instead, he just whistled for a moment at the damage that had been done to the other hacker.

"Damn, you got f*cked up somethin' fierce Hayes! Makes my injury look good in comparison!" For a moment, he glanced to his right arm about the bullet hole that had punctured his glove.

Yeah, note to self: don't get shot in the shoulder if you can avoid it.

As the Rockets continued to break for the HQ, 1337 seemed to linger behind the blonde hacker. Every so often, the visored figure glanced back towards the carnage behind them. It seemed the Metagross came across some sort of ground type attack, based off the fact it was now in the air rather than trundling around on the ground.

When it finally seemed as if the cops had stopped their pursuit, the dark-haired hacker had a few choice things to say.

"...at least yer equipment's undamaged..." Yes, 1337 had been following Hayes just to assess the damage, if any, to his computer unit. "...but that's probably not gonna matter. Seth's gonna have a field day b*tching us out!"

1337 grinned. Then again, when the heck did 1337 not grin?

"Ah!" when her sleeve was grabbed up into Umbreon's jaws, she felt herself being tugged along faster, it didn't really help to steady her, only served to make her more disoriented, but she was being forced to move faster.
Dazed, and confused, it took her a moment to register when another pokemon came over. She just suddenly saw white, and light blue tones at first, her eyes shifting up to meet the Absol, one she knew, he was a slightly larger dark type, yet much stronger in comparison to her Umbreon.
She blinked at the Absol, wondering what it was doing there, until it moved as if to help, like her Umbreon was.

Umbreon looked over to the Absol sharply, but did not move as if to tell it to go away, he was not about to turn down help.

Faleen reached out to put a hand on the Absol's back as she started to drift forward again, the more she moved, the sharper and more constant the pain grew, despite her efforts to ignore it.
Supporting her upper body with the Absol’s helped, her hand placed firmly on his shoulders, hands clutching at the thick fur of his mane .

"Its okay, ignore it now, just go, go on" she spoke to the other Grunt that came over to help, brushing her hand to push away the bandanna
"worry about it later, come o-AAH!"
another sharp pain split apart her reserve
with a sharp jerk upward she gave another strangled cry of pain, the only think keeping her from falling to the ground this time was the weight she was putting on the Absol, by not his fur was flecked in the red of her blood.
She was trembling hard now; she could feel the heat spreading as it soaked her clothes.
Grabbing onto the other female, there was no way she could make it alone now, she was already feeling very weak, growling in pain and frustration. "come on"

Faleen was to the point where she wasn't even aware she was moving, let alone not even under her own power.
her skin was starting to become very pale, her expression unfocused.
She kept one hand clamped onto her side, the other gripping Claris' shoulder tightly. the harsh movements caused her to curl in on herself a little.
she heard a voice, and for a moment that snapped her back to look around at what was going on.
"I'll deal" she gasped,

After passing off the rounded grunt to Claris she had run off. She felt a little bad when the girl had clung to her, but the girl was better off with someone who could carry her. She shouldn't walk in that condition, she would only make the wound worse.

Keira was retreating, they had to get back so that the elites could submit the report of what had happened. Keira had so many questions running through her head, and hoped that once Seth and TRP got answers, maybe they could learn a little something. Though of course, being just grunts they may never know the full truth of who was the cause of this disaster. Which is what really bugged Keira about her position, being just a minor grunt.

Keira withdrew Genbu, and as she retreated from the mess she turned and looked back. God this was awful. Damn cops, good for nothing ingrates! Keira clenched her fists, angered by what had happened, and hoping that no one died over this. She had no idea how most of the other people were doing in this mess, she had only seen how some people came out.

Keira kept running, knowing she had to get out of there as she cursed the fact that none of her pokemon were large enough to ride. All this running was getting tiring, but the sooner she got away from there, the better.
