[RAID] PokéCon

[Blood_Goddess]

Izaya, Rockets

This was a waist of time. Faleen could barely get anywhere with this crowd, and she suspected it wasn't going to be any better anywhere else. She finally caught sight of Izaya, he too could not get close to her. She frowned, glancing around to assess the aria before she called out, turning her back to Izaya and gesturing toward the Rockets she was with.
"Get behind me!"

With that, two balls, dusk, poke were thrown into the air.
Two large pokemon struck the ground with a heavy Thud, A large Sharpido was dropped onto the ground of the conference hall.

"Do not hesitate, you GET OUT!" she made this very clear to the people behind her.
Her image shifted, and a dark blond women now ran forward jumping onto her Sharpido's back, who suddenly began to gush large amounts of water out of his mouth. the Surf crashing through the conference room, in an attempt to consume and throw anyone in its path away, so that the Rockets might be able to move easier.

Zoroark appeared next to Izaya, crouching down next to him and pushing a head against his back. "ZOR!"

Convention hall, Henrietta

Nicolette nodded uncertainly, though she attempted a brave smile at the girl - which failed spectacularly - and continued to hold her hand. This was still all very frightening, but at least the police were out here and would handle everything! She was certain of that. Everything would be okay. "Yes, I'm okay. Are you?" She replied, still trying to calm herself, though she really couldn't even bring herself to voice a response to the girl's claims. It was all still so frightening.

Izaya

The woman and a few others stopped to gawp at him. As the illusions and their master bounced away, the woman was first to recover. Cupping a hand to her mouth and using the other to continue pointing and shriek, “POLICE! There he goes! Stop him!” The others around her joined in getting the attention of the nearest officials, and the men and women in uniform turned their attentions to the clone trio. Yeah, because that didn’t look suspicious at all.

Each copy and the original were quickly pursued. One by a Spearow and Fearow pair overhead, another by a Growlithe, and the third by... Hitmontop?

"HOO HAH! Triple Kick that delinquent, Hitmontop!" Bruno pointed dramatically with a solid fist as his Pokemon stayed above the crowd in high leaps and bounds.  

[BlackFireKitsune]

Faleen, Izaya?, Rockets

Alder had been headed towards the group in the middle, but the sudden appearance of a water-type using Surf caught his attention. "Everyone get away from the doors!" He shouted, pulling a pokeball not from those draped around his neck, but from the belt at his waist. The trainers who hadn't been washed away or displaced by the wave of water immediately complied as fast as possible, leaving Faleen's path clear.

The ball was tossed and an Escavalier appeared in the resulting flash of light, and the dual bug- and steel-type let out a threatening, "Sscaahhv."

"X-Scissor!" The previous champion ordered, and his pokemon obliged, shooting towards Sharpedo with its lance-like appendages raised.  

[Blood_Goddess]

Donphan

Rosie pulled her arms up close to her head as the Donphan tumbled past them, avoiding them thanks to Pop's actions.

The Lopunny, let out a sneer, hopping up onto one of the seats with one foot up on the head rest.
Fists at her side the pink eyes fixed in a glare at the ground type pokemon.

As the pokemon went into for an attack on her, The Lopunny lifted her first as if to punch out at the pokemon, only to be caught up by in in her punch and knocked back.

"Pop-"
Whatever Rosie might have ordered the Lopunny to do was drowned out, literally by a sudden wave of water that crashed through the seating.  

[Kitomyx]

Faleen, Rockets, Zoroark

The Rocket Grunt hesitated upon noticing Zoroark, but quickly got the hint and climbed onto his back. The other two identical Rockets were a bit preoccupied, one watching the Sharpedo with wide eyes and the other still trying to get toward Faleen through the obstacle course of furniture and people's heads and shoulders.

Donphan, Akira, Rosie, Pop, Luke

Meanwhile, Akira finally managed to get back on his feet, if with a bit of pain. Ignoring his minor injuries for the time being, he looked at the concerned Leafeon that stared up at him and pat his head. "It's okay," he told Happa. "Good boy. You've done enough." Withdrawing the pokemon, he grabbed his Luxury ball and released an angry Serperior in the direction of the enemy.

Supercilious, unhappy as usual to be summoned, Wrapped himself constrictingly tight around the first body he came into contact with. This time though, unlike usual, it wasn't the body of his trainer.  

[BlackFireKitsune]

Rosie, Akira, Luke

The Donphan veered again, ready to attack again before it was suddenly overwhelmed by the Surf attack. Rather than lose it, the Rocket recalled it and sent out a Carnivine instead. With a shrill, almost gleeful sound, the grass-type went around shooting Leaf Tornados towards the group itself, as well as the Serperior and the Crobat out.  

[Gwennythe]

Hall, Inigo, Nicolette

The noise of battle was rather unsettling; she was glad they were out, but equally, she kind of wanted to try and dive back in and join in.
Still, Nicolette was still holding her hand and now they'd made it to at least out here, she knew she couldn't just leave the other girl.

The floor seemed wet, and Gummy's automatic response to the sudden dampness was to add some of his own; a weak water gun happening inside his closed mouth, then dribbling to floor.

"Yeah! I'm totally fine!" Henrietta shot a grin at Nicolette, hoping her own apprehension wasn't detectable in it. Things were escalating quickly and there was too much of a reminder of Kanto; there was no way she was putting Gummy away.
"We should get to the tables! Hey, there's a friend!" She suddenly got a shot of her usual enthusiasm back as she spotted the adult she'd befriended before.
"Inigo! Here!" Clearly the nice grass type trainer was trying to get out like they were too.  

[Blood_Goddess]

Alder, Rockets

"Get out, get out!" Faleen hissed at the Rockets, though what drew her attention was the pokemon now released.
Hazel eyes narrowed in a calculating manner, a hand lowering to press against the top of Sharpido's head as she lingered there in a moment of silence.
she had a team still in the room, there was enough chaos outside so that they could blend and get away if they were clever enough, but if she didn't get them out there then they wouldn't get away at all.

The pokemon was ordered to attack, and with a speed that shot concern though Faleen's heart she closed her hand against Sharpido's head "go."

With a spray of water gushed around the Sharpido as Rocket and shark suddenly shot forward, though instead of attacking Faleen veered our of the line of battle, the now mobile Sharpido propelling himself through the room. gushing out water as he went.

Convention hall
By now, a number of trainers had approached and passed the various policeman performing checks on their registration, and most of those that were deemed innocent fled from the hotel entirely as soon as they could. Others, more competent or more courageous, moved off to the side in case they could help.


Henrietta
While the young trainer beside her half-wanted to go back, Nicolette wanted completely and totally to go forward and to leave as quickly as possible. It was rather difficult, though, especially given she felt responsible for the girl whose hand she still held, but there was also the fact that she was not at all used to leading anything except Epona on a run. The girl's enthusiasm was still infectious even in such a situation, though, and Nicolette offered her a brief smile. "That's good." Mention of a friend, though, made her look up in the hopes it was Luke or Rosie - but it wasn't, though, so that was a little disappointing.. He at least looked nice though, if a little nervous.

The sudden, familiar voice calling his name snapped his attention to Henrietta, and a whole wave of guilt washed over him. Could he just pretend he hadn't heard her? Could he just leave? No, she saw him and he looked at her, he had to... Not at all sure of anything, Inigo made his way over to the pair of girls, and offered them a brief, anxious smile. "Hola," he offered, hoping he didn't sound too nervous, "you guys okay?" He barely knew Henrietta and didn't know this other girl at all, but presumably they knew each other.  

[BlackFireKitsune]

Faleen, Akira

The Rockets didn't need to be told twice, and one made a break for it - unfortunately, the one with the Carnivine was caught by a Serperior's Wrap and fell with a yelp. The other ducked out into the main hall.

The Escavalier was expecting the Sharpedo to continue on its intended path towards the door, and thus when it veered to the side and circled back, its attack missed. Its eyes narrowed calculatingly, and it reacted almost instantly when Alder shouted, "Again!" With a low, irritated sound, the Escavalier shot towards the Sharpedo and its rider, aiming another X-Scissor attack at the former.  

[Catzandbirdz]

Faleen

"Glalie! Shadow Ball!" Glacia had had just about enough of this, and directed her Pokemon to target the attack at the water sledding Sharpedo.  

[Gwennythe]

Inigo, Nicolette, Hall

"Hey! Yeah! Woah..!" Henrietta started forward.. and then suddenly found herself on the ground, shock of pain running through her legs and her palms burning where her hands had slapped against the floor, breaking her fall, as she'd fallen forward.
It seemed that she'd slipped on the water, from Gummy mostly, on the floor.
People were still crowding past, and she felt a foot connect with her side, as someone hurried by, not bothering to stop, even as they tripped a little after making contact with Henrietta.
Tears pricked her eyes, but she held them in and winced as she got back up, grabbing Gummy to herself as she did so.
"Uh. Ow... Yeah!" She answered Inigo "We're tryna get out! D'ya wanna stick with us?!" The girl tried /not/ to sound like she really wanted a nice adult around.  

[Blood_Goddess]

Alder

One knee pressed to the top of her Sharpedo, while her boot rest by his nose, she drew her focus away, looking for the Rockets looking for Izaya, where was her partner now? Did he get out? was he caught?
She had to find him.
Unfortunately for her that moment of distraction drew her attention away from the pokemon under her, and a sudden swerve to the side again cause her to sway her balance, nearly falling off.
She managed to get herself back on, but it put her, right in the line of attack for the X-Scissor.

The force knocked her off of Sharpedo, Faleen could only recall a sense of seering pain, weightlessness and suddenly found herself surrounded by water.
Sharpedo sped away, unable to slow his momentum, though he could small something delicious in the water, as the spot that Faleen fell turned red with blood.

"SHAR!" Sharpido arched around, doubling back toward the pokemon who attacked them, when he was struck full on by a ghost type attack.
While the move didn't knock the pokemon out, the dark type was certainly thrown and skipped across the shallow pool is had created in in the room.  

[BlackFireKitsune]

Henrietta

When the girl fell, both Nicolette and Inigo started forward in surprise, both trying to help her up and prevent anyone - or anyone else - from further injuring her. Once she was up, and since her hands were occupied, Nicolette kept her hand on Hen's shoulder instead. Inigo stood on her other side, and raised a hand to the back of his neck. "Ah, sure. I wanna get out too, I didn't expect things to get this crazy," he said in an attempt at levity, but really it was pitiful and he knew it and realized it immediately after he said it.

The crowd they were in was headed towards the police officers with their computers, asking for their registrations and running checks as quickly and thoroughly as they could. When the trio reached the nearest table - and therefore several police officers and a large fluffy Arcanine - Nicolette encouraged Henrietta to step forward. "You can go first," she suggested, even though she really, really wanted to be out of there immediately.
