[FIN] Kanto Competition

[Tori Honoo]

Sparky's eyes narrowed further when the Absol didn't let go, and though he stopped himself from launching at it, he took post next to the girl as the other pokemon made to drag her off. <<Let her go. Now.>> he growled deeply, heat radiating from every inch of his body.

The girl beside him shook violently, trying hard not to panic any further, and trying not to move at all. With her arm in the Absol's hold, there was no chance of her getting away from it, at least, not without help, or some miracle. With the ball still in her hand, she watched as the other Absol attacked, making Sparky roar and shudder before splitting his attention between the two, even as Henrietta approached. "Get out of the way, Hen," she told her. She didn't need to get caught up in this.

Tymko's cry to them drew her attention for a split second, until she realized her pokemon were safe, tucked away onto a belt out of site that they would have to rip off of her to take

Sparky continued to glare. However, the other absol then moved on toward Luke, who was not his problem, and he looked back to the first. <> This was not a fight he could lose...

Terrified--and in more pain than she possibly ever imagined she'd find herself in, the girl took a deep breath, then drew her arm closer to her and aimed a punch with her free hand, her fist driven with all her strength right for the Absol's face, between its eyes. If it chose to hold on, her aim would be accurate. If it let go.... even better.  

[Blood_Goddess]

(Yuri)

Zoroark had not taken kindly to the pokemon's attacks, taking it on her own to knock out not only the pokemon, but the humans as well with a build of frustration.
The humans around didn't seem to want to be cooperating. Idiots.

She watched as one of the pokemon was already shot, and her master leveled the gun on another human.
Pouncing back up onto the table, keeping eye on the shiny look alike Absol.

(Henrietta)
the Umbreon that approached her reached up to try and snag the dex out of her hand with his mouth, crushing it into his jaws

(Everyone)
The person behind the mask watched as people still tried to fight, people were not calming down.
Warning had been given.
The trigger was pulled again, this time it hit Seraphine in the back of the shoulder.
"Next one kills her." the mask turned to looked to Luke "Let her go, Or I will kill her." The voice was deathly level and to the point "All of you, do not return your pokemon, I will kill, her. And then I will kill another... and another, and another until I get what I want."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The people who had been shocked had started to be able to move again, Ray was able to push herself up, glancing at the strange person... who as very weak, trying to move her.
Her body twisted as she looked around at the masked women with the gun, and her eyes widened in horror when a bullet hit Sera.
"DO WHAT SHE ******** SAYS!" Ray screamed the other trainers. "******** idiots!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rosie got her movement back, she had been unable to fight being suddenly pulled up from the ground by an invisible force, but was suddenly stopped when Luke grabbed a hold of her.
Terrified, she now tried to cling back, watching dark pokemon all around attacking their friends and pokemon.
She let out a scream when Sera got shot.
Oh god, no no no!
"FALEEN STOP!"  

[Kitomyx]

The boy who had taken hold of the brunette looked up as Sparky snarled at him. Though he did not reply, the cheeky young teen sneered and stuck out his tongue at the fire-type before continuing with his task.

While the pink-eyed female was having a little trouble with her slightly larger burden, Kid tore himself away from the sight that had enraptured him. Turning to focus on the silver-haired - ugh! - hideously asymmetrical lady, the Absol took her arm in his jaws and helped the furry-tailed girl pull her away from the others.  

[BlackFireKitsune]

Sera aimed a vicious glare at the strange boy that tugged at her arm, and she raised a hand to swat at him. The silencer on the gun prevented her from hearing it over all the fighting and angry words, not that she would have heard it anyway as the bullet pierced her shoulder, and she inhaled sharply. Her arm buckled beneath her and she tried to support herself with her other arm, her eyes snapping open wide to stare straight at the ground as a chill shot down her spine. Oh s**t. Oh s**t.

Isabella snarled viciously as the hunk of metal attacked her owner next, but what drew her attention even more was the strange-looking human pulling at her Mistress. With another malicious snarl, the Absol lunged for the human despite the wound in her shoulder. No one touched her owner.  

[Gwennythe]

Henrietta let the Umbreon take her pokédex, but flinched a little as the thing was crushed in the pokémon's jaws. That had been given to her at the start of her journey, when she got Gummy, something she'd waited a long time for. It hadn't been used as much as some trainers used theirs but she'd known it there as a potential lifeline to phone home, to phone anyone, as a guide when she didn't know something and an item that, unlike anything else, marked her as a league registered trainer. There were few items with the same significance.
The choice to give it up had been easy- her friends were in danger- but watching it go was harder than the young girl had thought.
Dove's plea that she get away wasn't exactly met. She'd been told not to move after all, and seething as she was, she couldn't bring herself to disobey through a mixture of not wanting to leave her friend anyway, and not wanting to get anyone shot.
Everything was unfair.
Then the shot. She didn't know Sera that well really but she'd been part of meeting everyone and had clearly known Ray and Rosie.
"Don't!" She was stunned into the one word utterance. They'd shot someone and were threatening to do so again.  

[Tori Honoo]

When the absol still refused to let her go, Dove pulled her arm back to try again, but found herself unable to draw the strength and instead resigned herself to stay in its grasp as her arm fell across her torn and bleeding torso, grasping at the torn cloth of her shirt and pressing her hand to the blood that poured from the wounds across her sides.

As the second shot rang out, however, and at Ray's scream, her eyes went wide, and with a fading, apologetic look that Sparky would never forget, she returned the typhlosion to his ball, though she held it tight in her hand. Without a miracle...  

[Suudonym]

"No…"

Useless piece of trash. Talked big about strength, about protecting people - making promises left and right about how things would work out, things would be okay. Well there you go, kid. Great work, A+. Hey, maybe next time you can get some town's entire population wiped out.

With great reluctance Luke's grasp slackened, his hands falling to his lap as he dazedly contemplated the situation. Give it up. You failed. "Tartarus." The Aggron looked to its trainer with an immense incredulity that promptly disappeared with the rest of the steel-type as it disappeared into its pokeball.

He really, really didn't want that to be Faleen.  

[Blood_Goddess]

(Dove)
When the pokemon was returned, the Absol opened his jaws, letting the humans go.
though blood splatted his chin lightly, he stepped up off the human, but not far. keeping an eye on her as he stood by for further orders.

(Isabella)
The Zoroark was on the Absol in a second flat, attempting to leap onto her back to stop her from advancing any further.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rosie reached up, placing her hands on either side of Luke's jaw, taking a moment to look at him,
"Its okay." she said quietly. though there was no way for her to hide the fear in her eyes, and the worry.
She tried to smile hopefully as he let her go, letting her own hands fall as she drew herself up and faced the masked figure and the man in the shadows.
She just wanted this to stop, she wanted her friends to stop hurting. She wanted to know why her sister... was causing so much pain, in GOOD people.
"Faleen, please stop, we'll stop fighting you, just... please."
Of course it was her sister... those were her sisters hands, she used to watch her working as they grew up... she could tell Faleens hands anywhere, the way her sister stood, the mannerisms in her speech... She knew her sister anywhere.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


(Luke/ Rosie)
The figure become very still, as its head jerked over to stare Rosie. there seemed to be a moment when the boy didn't want to let go. But as he did, the younger Ewell turned to face her once again.
The masked figured stepped forward, not taking its eyes off of Rosie.
Once she reached the girl, her hand was lifted and the mask was removed from her face.
Faleen frowned at her sister. Pulling the hood down from her hair "This is... unfortunate, Rosie..."  

[Tori Honoo]

When her arm was finally freed, and the Absol stepped away from her, Dove started to collapse, but instead forced herself to a sitting position, though she curled in on herself, both arms wrapped tightly across her middle as she fought the need to pass out.

Then Rosie was speaking, to Luke, she imagined, and as she looked around, the masked figure was revealing itself--herself,she realized-- and her eyes narrowed. Of course it was Faleen... as if this couldn't be enough on its own...

She swayed a little on her knees as she forced herself to watch. 'Unfortunate'? A surge of anger rushed through her, though it died quickly, her body unable to respond to it anyway.  

[Gwennythe]

"But.. You made robots..." The tone was a child's, the same vein of some disappointed kid's 'but you were cool' to a disappointing meeting of some idol. Henrietta's voice was unusually small as she watched the scene, watched Faleen unveil herself. It was all a bit too much for the young trainer. At least she was close to Dove, should the woman pass out, not that she could help too much there either though... A ball of worry, anger, disappointment, sadness, and real fear was stymieing any further coherent a thought or action.
If she did move, she'd probably end up trying to fight with Faleen or a pokémon, if she didn't, she would just be standing here, looking lost. Some rational part of her brain, plus the fear, at least, kept her where she was.  

[Kitomyx]

Izaya hesitated, uncertain about what was going on. Speaking softly to Delic, he persuaded the psychic-type to communicate with the other pokemon in order to back off.

The Zorua stopped first, releasing the now-mostly-conscious trainers to go stand beside Faleen. The black and white Absol and twin Purrloin followed soon after, watching and keeping alert in the case they needed to obey more orders. For now they were to follow the female Rocket's lead until told otherwise.  

[BlackFireKitsune]

Isabella stumbled and collapsed mid-lunge as the shiny Zoroark jumped on her. No, ohhh no way was she letting that stop her. With a growl she writhed under the other dark-type, trying to get up or at the very least claw or bite the Zoroark. Her wounded shoulder still hurt horribly, but she forced herself to ignore the pain while her trainer was still in danger, because this was so not allowed, not even a little.  

[Blood_Goddess]

Rayan was on her knees, not exactly perturbed by the person trying to drag her, but not fighting it as to not entice more violence.
As the masked person's attention was drawn away however, to Rosie, Ray reached over to Sera, easily dragging her over to away from the table, trying not to injure her anymore, but doing what it took to move her.
Mossy eyes watched silently as the pokemon around drew closer and the masked Rocket showed herself for who she was, after Rosie called out her sister.

Ray hung back, pulling herself up onto her knees, and keeping herself as close as she could to Henrietta, Dove and Seraphine. though she glanced from Yuri who was not continuous, to Luke and Rosie.

"Isabella!" Rayan snapped when she saw the pokemon struggling "Stop, Stop, If you want to help Sera you need to stop!" She hissed at the pokemon.  

[Suudonym]

Jaw set in a harsh grimace, he shook his head lightly, nails digging into his palms to prevent motion. It wasn't okay; there was no way he could believe that. He should never have said anything. In spite of his powerlessness, he regarded Faleen with indignant defiance. Unfortunate. Yeah, it kind of was - in a lot of ways.  

[Blood_Goddess]

Faleen looked over her sister as she was placed down off of the psychic power.
Good enough, she hated that energy.
There was a stillness in her features, though there was a frown set firmly on her lips.
She looked away from Rosie, toward the others trainers and finally to Luke.
this ruined so much, so much, Faleen had never wanted Rosie to find out.

Rosie watched her sister with a much more worried expression, trying to read her features, though with Faleen that had always been difficult.

Faleen didn't move her eyes away from Luke. "A recently departed Agent of our organization was rumored to have leaked some information to you." she started "I'm aware of only one piece of that information, I was to come here, get the rest and leave without insadent." Faleen glanced over tot he bleeding trainers. "It appeares that isn't going to happen now. So, why don't you tell me what else Agent Asch told you, and we can leave."
