[KO, Claire, Harvard, Shadow]
Frost looked from his dex, to the toaster, back, and then to the toaster. "Understood," he replied to Harvard's order. Shadow got a cursory glance but nothing else; Frost had no negative feelings towards the boy but they were working and thus he hadn't the time for pleasantries. "Skiron, Ice Beam," he said instead.
The ice type nodded his acknowledgement, waited for Zeus' attack to finish and then launched his own attack on the floating toaster. Quite why there was a floating toaster he had no idea, but it really wasn't his concern just now; his concern was to follow orders.
-------------
[Frost, Claire, Harvard, Shadow]
KO tipped a lazy salute of acknowledgement to the apparently jittery black haired kid; he didn't recognise him from Trainee sessions so he was probably a grunt, and thus his superior. "Maybe so, but ghosts are no more trouble than any other kind of pokemon; no worries, I'm sure between the four of us we can take care of it."
Right, what moves did that horrible ghost of his have again? Oh, right. "Countess, give it a Night Shade!" Seemed a good place to start to him. "I'm guessing this sort of thing doesn't happen often?" he added as an afterthought as the onslaught of attacks rained down upon the toaster.
-------------
[Rory/tech people]
"Just the people I was going to call," Aulus muttered as he headed onward, red eyes flicking around in search of Faleen. Of course, another plus of joining up with her was that she would want to know where Alex was too if she didn't already. "I'll contact Tam," he went on, "you contact one of the others, then one of us can call the last."
[Tam/anyone in ear shot if Tam's dex has a message tone]
As he spoke Aulus took out his dex, pulled up a message, entered Tam into the 'recipient' box and quickly tapped out: On tech floor w/Rory. Meeting up with Agent Faleen. Your status?
Faleen was, presumably, somewhere nearby. Looking up from his dex Aulus moved onward.

[Labs/Tech Floor/Security/etc]
"It's useless and unstable."
"What a waste of time, energy, and money."
"It will be terminated tomorrow."
These voices, thoughts, kept replaying themselves over and over in the Pokemon's mind. It's world had been effectively turned upside down after she had been deemed useless and came to realize the true intentions of her handlers and captors. The Mewtwo had spent quite some time thinking about this, reflecting on its brief life in the labs.
Being held in a specialized crate and hooked into machinery to keep her psychic powers under control, the Mewtwo sat in quiet contemplation. It had little choice but to accept its inevitable fate as the device kept it partially sedated.
However, when the lights started to flicker, blue eyes lifted to look outside of the metal cage. The power of the device weakened from the power surge, and with a flick of a wrist, it was flung from the Pokemon's head. Standing up, it could feel the presence of other Pokemon outside, but human life was strangely absent on this floor. Eyes narrowed as it's senses began to strengthen once again. The Mewtwo would not stick around and wait to die if it could help it.
With a forward motion of the arm, it used telekinesis to forcefully send the metal door of the crate shooting outward. A loud clang of metal resounding as it struck the far wall and then fell to the floor. Stepping out, the Mewtwo looked around for a moment. The humans that had raised "her", had also betrayed the Pokemon. Casting her aside when they no longer had use for her. Bitterness and anger swelled within the genetically manufactured creature.
Now barely hovering off the floor, the Mewtwo speedily shot towards the nearest elevator, forced the doors open, and flew straight up the shaft. The doors on the next floor above, the tech floor, were ripped open and she emerged to come face to face with a human.
Seth stared in dumbstruck silence for a moment as he was stared down by a displeased looking Mewtwo.
"What the hell?" Where did this thing come from? It seemed to have just come from the lab floor as it was the only one below them. But there was something oddly familiar about this Pokemon... and it then hit him. Mentally visualizing a young blue Mewtwo sitting in Nadja's office, playing with blocks.
"... Koshka?" Wasn't that the nickname Nadja had given it?
The Mewtwo's eyes narrowed angrily. She remembered this man.
Seeing the hostility in it's eyes, Seth quickly pulled out a Pokeball and activated the com on his dex. "There's a renegade Mew-!" And he was suddenly cut off as the man was slammed forcefully against a support beam. There would be banging over the speakers as the dex had flown from his hand and gone clattering across the floor. And what sounded like a distant groan as the elite passed out. |

[Tambrey, Faleen, Tech Floor]
A bug. Enemy of dark-types, if the grunt wasn't mistaken. At the moment, however, he just knew it was the enemy of his dignity and that if it didn't cease immediately, he would - well, no, he couldn't take a stab at it with his flick blade. Particularly while it was on his face. That would have been a Shizuo thing to do. Best keep a reign on his temper...
Relinquishing his grip on the concealed weapon in his pocket, Izaya was just about to attempt to pry the thing off with his bare hands when it was mercifully withdrawn into a beam of red light. He heaved a sigh of relief and clutched at his chest, as if he'd been frightened.
"You saved me, Tam-chii!" he stated with fond, grateful, admiring tones. "Thank you! I thought that monster was going to do me in." No sooner had the words been said, however, than the elevator began to malfunction.
Izaya had just stuck a foot out to leave before having to withdraw it quickly again for fear of it getting crushed. His eyes widened in astonishment as the doors began to open and shut repeatedly. "Ehhh?! This isn't any of your doing, is it?" he asked Kid, glancing down at his side, but the Absol seemed as confused as he was. He soon became mesmerized by the opening and shutting doors, which were syncing in perfect symmetry. Izaya rolled his eyes.
"Tam-chii, Faleen-chan, any idea what's going on...?" If those doors didn't stop soon, he'd have to get Delic out to try to do something about it. He didn't want to risk being crushed. Was this someone's idea of a joke?

[Floor 1: Frost, KO, Harvard]
As soon as the Rotom appeared out of the toaster, Claire had her dex raised to her mouth again. "Agent Claire to security, reporting on the - uh - target. A rogue Rotom was possessing a toaster." If that thing had an owner, said owner had damn well better hope they were never caught. Claire couldn't see anything less than death by firing squad for setting the whole base on alert over a rambunctious pokemon.
Zeus dodged the toaster as it fell, and frowned up at the weird pokemon that had appeared. He got woken up out of an amazing nap for this? Well. He'd just have to show this what happened when his nap was interrupted.
He aimed another bolt of electricity at it.
-----
[Floor 2: Alba, Jerome]
Inigo almost commented on how slow Alba was when his roommate's Chingling stopped, so he paused as well and put a hand on the bell pokemon. "What's up, Spook?" He didn't have any of his own pokemon out, and he hadn't noticed anything unusual behind them. He probably should have known enough to send out at least one pokemon, but he hadn't thought that far ahead yet.

(Faleen, Izaya)
"Um. That, uh, wasn't the monster..." Tambrey muttered, apologetically at Izaya before giving a respectful, stiff, nod toward Faleen. "Yes. Um. Sorry." Her hand automatically reached to make sure the spider's pokéball was secure.
The question got her to look back toward the elevator as it started to go all strange again with Izaya still inside.
"Uh." She took a step back. "I'll be.. uh... fine. It was doing stuff before. Like this. But... different." She admitted, worriedly.
Her pokédex started making a chiming noise.
She reached for it without taking her eyes off of the elevator.
"Uh. Are the buttons lighting up in there? The buttons were making a face before..." She sounded shaken, still, but 'calmer' as the door was still opening and showing them Izaya still there.
It took a glance to read the 'dex. "Agent Aulus is on the tech floor and coming to you, Agent Faleen." She 'read out', one hand quickly sending a slightly frantically misspelled message back.
(Aulus, Rory)
<<*~ By elvtrs w/ Agnt Fleen and Izya. Do nt take elvatrs! Izaya stuck. Are both ok? ~*>> She typed quickly and without spell-checking, but very deliberately added the last query. Was Rory okay? Were both of them?
(Tech Floor/Faleen/Izaya/Seth/Angry Mewtwo)
Loud bangs and smashes from another lab-to-tech elevator made her jump and flinch, turning her head toward the sound. That wasn't good.
"... Oh frak."
She took a few steps back and pawed for another pokéball, looking back at the elevator with Izaya inside.
"I really think you need to get out of there."
Lasi was looking and pulling a face at Faleen. /He/ was well behaved and obedient. He could help and save everyone from whatever was going...
Noises.
He looked toward them, frowned, and widened his eyes at the sound of the Mewtwo's attack. "Gol..."

[ Seth (Floor -4) ]
Some of the Rockets around the room in Security visibly jumped at the sudden warning and racket heard over the com. Harvard's posture tensed and straightened, hands held firmly at her side. A renegade... Mew? Mewtwo, perhaps? That sounded more plausible, but Harvard wasn't taking chances with assumptions. Even if one of the screens did say that report came from the annoying Elite from earlier. "Pin the location of that report and get me camera visual," she ordered. "Elite Agent Seth, please repeat." She waited two seconds of no response. "Elite Agent Seth, report!"
---------
[ + Everyone ]
Harvard grit her teeth when the other Elite failed to answer. At the same time, a new report from Agent Claire on Floor 01 filtered in. Now there were Rotom in the base? A few clicks later on her Dex, and Harvard's voice could be heard throughout the entire base.
"Attention. Hostile Pokemon located on floor number negative four near west wing elevators. May be accompanied by Rotom. All elevators should be considered currently inoperable." As the announcement was made, the security team continued to check every camera in that area, but three reported only static. Other cameras spotted Rockets already nearby on that floor, though. Small blessings. "Injured may be on site. Nearby teams, proceed with caution."
---------
[ Izaya, Tambrey, Faleen, those near Insane Elevator (Floor -4) ]
The lights within the elevator continued to behave. The only misconduct was still the opening and closing doors.
---------
[ Claire, Frost, KO, Flying Toaster group (Floor 01) ]
After the announcement was made, Harvard responded personally to Claire via the Dex. "Acknowledged. Please deal with the intruder as seen fit."
The Rotom itself chattered irritably back at Zeus for that attack, but otherwise seemed to shake off the electric attack.
---------
[ Inigo + Jerome (Floor 02) ]
Spook turned to look at Inigo. "Ching?" The Chingling turned back and pointed in the opposite direction. "Chingling ching..."
"I wonder if she noticed something," Alba commented. The floating bell looked uncertain. Her human sighed and looked to the others. "Welp, shall we see what's up that way first, then?" Then the announcement about a hostile Pokemon downstairs came through. "......Well, isn't this just a lovely day in the neighborhood." Sarcasm aside, Alba reached to his belt and picked the Pokeball for Twitch. He wanted a backup at the ready.

[Floor 1: Lance, Claire, Frost, KO]
The grunt frowned slightly at the female agent, but looked away immediately. She could have asked him to shut up in a number of less polite ways, particularly as a higher rank, so the least he could do was obey. And anyway, she was right; this was no time for him to panic.
He glanced curiously back at Frost as Claire commanded her pokemon to attack the toaster with Frost soon following suite. His attention was then caught by the red-headed trainee who offered him a sort of casual salute. He nodded back slowly, cautious.
The fellow wasn't familiar, but if the rumors were true, by the looks of him, this must have been the reputed Rocket KO. Best to play dumb for now. Shadow didn't think he could handle that man's personality. "If you say so," he murmured uncertainly, having somewhat different experiences shaping different opinions.
Before the grunt had time to step away from the thing called 'Countess', Lindsay was already barking eagerly towards the toaster, clearly waiting for her turn to be sent into battle. "I think they've got it covered, girl," he said. The disappointed Jolteon growled in frustration, but sat where she was. "Not as far as I know," Shadow told KO. "Not on base."
Lindsay's ears perked up and Shadow turned sharply at the sound the toaster emitted upon being struck by Zeus' attack. The teen's jaw dropped. It really was a ghost. Or at least he thought it was. He'd never seen the likes of this sort before.
The Haunter shadowing the Rocket grunt watched this all passively. He seemed slightly amused by the unexpected turn of events, but did nothing to interfere. Eris, meanwhile, had exhausted her camera shots and had to return to Shadow's room. All this exasperated emotion had made her quite full.
[Rory, Aulus, anyone near Rory]
Startled out of his shock, Shadow grabbed for his 'dex when it beeped to indicate a message. Flipping it open, he read it silently before punching in a quick reply. '4 floors above you. On the main office floor with a trainee and two agents. Flying toaster had a pokemon in it. Pretty sure it's a ghost.' He paused and added something else as an afterthought. 'Tatl and Jack should be on your floor.' Hopefully they would be of help if his partner ran into similar trouble. They would probably know Rory enough to obey his command if they saw him.

[KO, Claire, Shadow]
"Ah. Mystery solved," Frost observed as the toaster clattered to the ground. "How did it get here?" He knew that incidents before his arrival had led to the tightening of the labs' security, so unless the strange power surges had been unrelated to the Rotom and led to its escape and thus come to possess the toaster it seemed unlikely to him that it had escaped. Had somebody lost it? Let it out deliberately for a 'joke'?
...Oh yes. "Skiron, another ice beam."
The ice type bobbed his head and shot another stream of ice at the offending ghost type.
As further information came in from Harvard Frost's lips pursed. "Negative Four. The Labs. That isn't good." To say the least.
-------------
[Frost, Claire, Shadow]
KO's eyebrows raised as the pokemon appeared and he pulled out his dex to scan it; he knew it was a Rotom but he couldn't remember exactly what type it was. Ah, normal Rotom; ghost and electric. "Good guess," he said with a little grin to Shadow as he tucked his dex away again. "Countess, use Curse!" Low level as she was Night Shade wouldn't be doing all that much damage after all.
The grey ghost's seam-like mouth pulled up into a twisted smile as she received the command. Still smiling she held her lantern up before her face, raised her other hand and thrust it into the ghostly fire, using her own pain to lay a painful curse upon the other ghost.
KO, who hadn't used that moved with her before, looked momentarily horrified. He was quickly distracted by the new announcement however; his brows knit and he looked between the three more experienced Rockets. "Anything in particular they keep down there that we should be worried about?" Information like that might be above their security clearance but it was worth asking.
-------------
[Rory, Tam, Faleen, Tech people, Harvard]
Aulus, who had been reading his message, looked up at the strange noise. "What the-?" [Same floor. All good. Coming. Hear a weird noise?] Message quickly tapped out Aulus put his dex away; contacting the others would have to wait, stuff was going down.
"Faleen, Tam!" Aulus called, hastening towards them. "The hell's-" Harvard's report cut him off and made him say a very rude word. "West elevators, let's go!" Without hesitation he turned and set off at a run, grabbing Tortie's pokeball and releasing the Absol as he went. It didn't take him long to spot the ruined elevator, the passed out elite... and a Mewtwo.
Aulus said another rude word and sent Char out after Tortie. "Get it!"
The pair of pokemon acknowledged him with simultaneous growls; Tortie launched a Night Slash while Char opened with Flamethrower.

[Aulus, Shadow, Tam, Faleen, Tech people, Harvard]
Rory turned away long enough to quickly read the response from Shadow and by the time he had looked back up, the agent was running ahead of him. At least, hopefully, there would be more than his Charmander and Pnyta at his disposal, if Shadow was right. He chased after the agent and ignored the noise for now.
He stopped to catch his breath when he caught up to Aulus and notice Tambrey and a couple others there. Before he could speak, however, the elite's report distracted him for a moment until he registered the male agent's command.
Once again he followed him, unleashing Jace and Pinkie from their pokeballs as he went. Jace, upon seeing the pokemon ahead of them, unleashed an Ember while Pinkie opened with Flamethrower.

[Izaya, Tambery]
Faleen jerked her head back in surprise a little when the elevator started to act up, the doors opening and closing, not letting anyone in, or letting Izaya out, despite his attempts to try and get through, only to pull back before the doors closed on him again.
"Izaya, step away from the doors." Faleen said to him quickly, wondering for a moment what could be causing their malfunction, when Tambery made mention of the buttons forming a smiley face.
The Agent blinked at the Grunt, before looking over to her largest pokemon.
"Zoroark, break the doors open if you have to, get Izaya out of there."
"Zor!" Her girl growled, stepping forward and attempting to grab the doors and force them open enough to get Faleen's partner out of there.
[ + Aulus, Rory]
The open announcement to everyone did not help the situation. A hostile pokemon on the tech level? That was so NOT okay.
Faleen looked over at the other as Aulus and Rory joined them. "Aulus" Faleen said back "I need to get my partner out of here, I'll send some of my pokemon with you, and I will be there as soon as I can!"
Faleen glanced behind her "Absol, Umbreon, Both of you, go with them."
She glanced down, meeting Umbreon's eyes for a second as the dark type gave a firm bark in agreement.
Hazel eyes returned to her team mates "I'll be over as quickly as I can."
She turned back to Zoroark, with Nachtara and Banette still with their trainer as Absol and Umbreon tore off after the other team, her eyes narrowing softly.
"Nachtara, help Zoroark with the elevator,"
The moon striped Umbreon curled a lip, but stepped forward, his silver eyes bursting with pink light, using his Psychic on the doors to try and help stabilize them.
[Seth, Aulus, Rory]
Absol and Umbreon kept up with the other Rockets easily, being Faleen's two top pokemon, she knew she could count on them to deal with situations without her, they wouldn't let her down.
The situation unfolded in front of them, Umbreon's ears snapped back at the sight of the Mewtwo, followed by a thick growl when he noticed Seth laying there.
As Aulus and Rory's pokemon leapt in to attack the Mewtwo, Umbreon slipped swiftly over to Seth while the others launched their attacks, bending his head down to sniff the man, before turning to assess any threat that might befall the downed Elite.
He took on his job, protect the high rank until he was up again.
It was Absol who took on the offensive, what he did best. It might have helped a little that Tortie was around too.
Joining his own Night Slash as the Psychic type.
