Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bliss wasn't the only one brooding over the Doctor's demise today. The Gyarados had been unceremoniously dragged from his pen, lashing out and managing to smash a few guards up against walls before he'd been zapped into submission, hauled outside, and dropped into the dirt. Spasming from the aftereffects of paralysis, Icarus managed to haul himself upright, his jaws outstretched in a silent bellow of protest, searching for anything to maul that walked on two legs. He hadn't expected to find another Pokemon.

This enclosure was far too small to hold him. Well, at least, that was what it seemed to the Pokemon that had always had as much room to roam as he wanted. Feeling highly agitated by the lack of space, Icarus coiled coil up upon himself, hissing throatily at the Absol. Was he aggressive? Oh yes. Would he snatch her up and crush her if she pissed him off? That too. His furious, burning gaze soon left the female however, fixed upon the guards that, well, stood guard just out of his reach, high above on the watch stations. And the base of those stations? Protected by the electrical fence.

Like a fence had ever stopped him before.

Without warning, the Gyarados struck, rearing up and lashing out with all the speed of a ferocious serpent, his fangs clanging loudly against the steel mesh. A zap of electricity immediately jolted down his body--but Icarus only roared with fury, clamping down hard on his prize and launching straight into a Thrash, ignoring the way the fence squealed in protest, but still refused to give way. The monster's tailed lashed mindlessly behind him, smashing into any who weren't intelligent enough to get out of way--and Icarus continued to work himself deeper and deeper into his rage, dead-set on at least mauling someone.

The guards from above were beginning to take action, releasing Pokemon of their own to attack the maddened Gyarados, eventually driving him back and away from the fence. Rearing back, Icarus roared until it felt as though his vocals would tear, firing off a Hyper Beam in retaliation before, with a enraged scream, moving to submerge himself within the pool of water, retreating for now. He was sick, frustrated, and furious, the cool water doing wonders as it embraced his sore, charred skin, a throaty moan rumbling deeply in his throat. The monster's rage, it seemed, had been quelled for now--unable to take another beating so quickly after facing off against that damnable doctor...

His jaw rested on the grass, the rest of him able to completely keep itself underwater, narrowed eyes still glaring death up at the guards from above. He'd kill them too, once he was able, and he'd burn this entire place to the ground. A frustrated hiss coursed deeply in his chest, and, after a moment, Icarus lifted his head. To try again, or...?

While he was mulling it over, his indigo gaze flickered back to the Absol, jaws parting in a vicious expression. Had she been brought here, as well? Though Icarus cared little for her plight, it did make him appreciate other Pokemon as well, realizing that, as always, it was the humes fault for this entire mess...

Was she laughing at him? A rumble of a warning rippled up his body as the Absol approached, then cut off as though it had been silenced with a knife when she began to speak. So--someone who seemed to hold the same loathing that he did for that man..."He has severely underestimated my power." Icarus hissed softly, the pupils of his eyes dilating as they took her in, truly caring little about her position. However, to show such obvious disdain of the doctor was enough to earn grudging respect from Icarus, no matter how little.

"And who are you, to sit idle when freedom is so close?" He questioned savagely, baring his fangs at the fence that kept them penned. "Surely you don't think yourself lucky enough that he'd come in here and simply present you with his throat, less you be just as foolish as the rest of these miserable curs..." Even now, the Gyarados had turned his attention back to the guards, watching, waiting for another moment to lash out.
