The trip across town would have been pleasant, if it weren't for the reason they were hurrying across town. It was hard to enjoy the scenery when you knew that that was a life depending on how quickly you got to your destination.
"Haaaaaunter~" Zacharie barely had time to duck before Essex came flying past him, a variety of flowers held carefully in his claws. His overenthusiastic pokemon was followed by Jabari at a much more subdued pace, "Ban-ette." The pokemon groused, dropping a few Snapdragon stalks into his trainer's waiting hands. "Good work, you two." The teen praised, a proud smile lighting up his face as he stood from where he had been crouching in the grass. "Where's Peldes and Aasim?" Jabari rolled his eyes and drifted towards Essex, who was peering over Rosie's shoulder curiously.
As if on cue, the two pokemon in question came bursting from around the corner. "Absooooool!" The floral pokemon cheered, prancing proudly beside Aasim...who was dragging a rosebush along with him. The grunt resisted the urge to facepalm. "...Great. Good job, guys." He muttered as the Growlithe deposited the bush at his feet.

Greal's already stern face stiffened a bit more at the snarl the fire type was giving him, the stag blew out a jet of air through his nostrils in a retorted threat to the dog, rocking his large antlers from side to side.
Rosie spun around to face Zacharie, her eyes widening a little bit as she nodded. reaching out to take his arm in her hand, pulling lightly to get them moving before she took the lead. Leaving the park meant that they would be making their way back through cramped city streets, something she knew might be a little more uncomfortable for Grealhorn. the Pokemon could make his way through trees really well, but wood and leaf were much different from brick and metal, something she knew he didn't have a feel for because of his typing. Greal trotted along with his trainer for as long as he could before Rosie returned him into his Heal Ball.
They had come a long way through the city, deeper and deeper into it in order to reach a small park where Zacharie knew had some growing flowers, it was a more run down and not as careful part of town, this of course meaning that the lights were not up kept, most were orange and dying, while others were not lit at all, and who knows how long they'll stay that way.she couldn't say that it didn't make her nervous, the kind of people they passed stopped and stared as they ran past, a few shifting uncomfortably.
In a particually dark part of the town, Rosie slowed slightly to glance behind her and make sure that Zacharie was keeping up alright. only to be stopped dead completely abruptly as she ran into something soft.
"HEY!" a voice barked, staggering forward, thankfully both parties caught there footing before anyone fell, but something else fell to the ground at their feet. Rosie staggered back, her eyes wide in shock as she tried to make out what had just happened, looking at her feet, where a few small bags filled with a white powder.
From the darkness three men could be made out, wearing oversize hoods and tensing up as they stared in momentary shock at the two people now standing before them.

the man they had bumped into looked down at the ground, before he quickly bent down and snatched up the fallen bags. As he did this the other two moved forward to flank Rosie and Zacharie as the purple haired boy said they should leave. "Yeah no, I don't think so." One of the men, a tall blond with dark eyes spoke, shoving his hands into his hoodie pockets and bumping up behind Zacharie "You just saw something you really shouldn't have."
Rosie, who had been whole heatedly apologetic to the man she had bumped into, tried to reach down to help him pick up the items she had knocked out of his hands, without really knowing what she was reaching down to pick up. but a mixture of him roughly grabbing the bag away from her before she could reach it, and Zachaire pulling on her arm drew the blond back up, and backward.
Before they could make it a couple of steps however they were flanked, Rosie shifted closer to Zachaire, taken by surprise by this sudden act of aggression. "See something?" She asked uncertainly. "what did we see?"

there was a moment that hung in stillness as the man that had grabbed onto Zacharie found that his grip was suddenly lost by a sharp touch from the boy, and even more suddenly he was twisted around and shoved in the opposite direction with a sort of startled gurgle.
Rosie herself was staring at the event with widened eyes, along with the man still holding onto her wrist. Thankfully, she seemed to gather herself before the men did, nervous, but letting what she learned from the classes she had been taking kick in. pulling her wrist with a sharp motion toward where the man's thumb and fingers met. his grip was a lot more firm then she expected it to be, but she managed to break away where she staggered back out of his reach quickly and grabbed for Zacharie. Unforgettably it wouldn't be long before the other two men gathered their senses as well, one now feeling the girl slipping out of her hand, one lunged for them, while the other reached for something in his pocket. The third that Zacharie had pushed was still gathering his bearings, and gripping his numb and weakened wrist,

Rosie didn't need to be told twice, nor was she in any way a weight on Zacharie when he pulled and started to run. Rosie was great on her feet, and was able to turn and keep up with Zacharie with no difficulty. This was terrifying, she wasn't sure what sparked it, or why these men wanted them hurt to badly, but she didn't want to stick around to find out. she might have still been frozen back there with no idea what to do had Zacharie not acted like he had.
The two young trainers didn't get very far at all before there was a loud and sudden explosion from behind them, unmistakably the sound of a gunshot, and the asphalt on the street next to them suddenly burst with broken gravel.
Rosie gave a startled scream and flinched away from where the bullet had hit, thankfully not very close to them, but it was far less comforting then you might think, someone was shooting at them and it would be sure he didn't only have one bullet. One of the other men was already on the phone, yelling at someone on the other end as he watched to two getting further and further away from them, that wouldn't bode well either.

They were SHOOTING that them! Rosie had no idea what they had done to warren that kind of extreme, but she had little time to really think it over too much. Bringing out her Pokemon right now would be much too risky, she couldn't afford they be shot, but she knew they would be upset with her for not calling them out when she needed them most.
For the time being she was mostly numb with fear, doing what Zacharie told her and just kept running. The gun went off a couple more times, but thankfully they had already taken to a corner like Zacharie had suggested, and the bullets pinged off the side of the bricks. "What did we do?" Rosie gasped though shaking breath, clinging to Zacharie's hand. "Why are they shooting at us!"
Rosie never once showed any interest in slowing down, though as they ran, she couldn't help but notice a small group of people standing along the streets up ahead of the road they were on. She felt herself grow a little cold with worry, the feeling causing to to pull her stride a little, her hand twitching lightly as she reached to her belt, only to stop herself at the thought that her Pokemon could get seriously hurt if they really were against guns.
This wasn't the first time her Pokemon were held back when she was in trouble, and she had to deal with their displeased retaliation upon realizing that she would rather keep herself in danger then let them get in genuine harms way.
Stress grew in those split seconds she hung in the weight of her next actions and the real situation they had found themselves in. One hand gingerly clutching the flowers to her chest, the other struggling to decide on if she should call her Pokemon forth, and risk them like this. Is this what they would want? Yes. But could she live with that? She wasn't so sure... but on the same ticket was she also willing to risk the safety of her friend by doing nothing? Too many questions, with too much weighing on the possible answers for her to be able to work out in the state of mind situations like this threw her into.
It seemed that this time she wasn't going to be able to have the freedom of her own decision. A rush of warmth burst over the palm of her hand, and the force of it pushed it out of the way as one of her Pokemon, somehow aware of the stress of the situation forced his own way out of his ball. The flash of light that followed spilled out in the brilliance of glittering pink and white, breaking away from the sudden light to display another array of bright pink and white, a massive form with wings spread so wide they nearly touched the walls of the building around. Long flowing crest brushed before the two humans behind him, while with a cry and a sweeping forward of his wings, forced a violent cut of air to blow through the streets and into the line of men beyond, knocking many of them clear off of their feet.
