As the energy dissipated, Mesprit zoomed in close to the humans. The petite Legend pulled up short right behind Aulus. More specifically, right behind Aulus' head.
With a frustrated huff, it smacked the backside of the man's head, ruffling the hair.
With that taken care of, Mesprit backed off from the group again. It was looking extremely worn down now. Its eyes lit with recognition--Oh hey! It remembered that attack it had forgotten! Oh well.--before dimming again. It was tired. And the Will-O-Wisp from Demeter was uncomfortable. Mesprit pouted as it started to hover in a slow pace around the room.
Harvard's brain registered something like a burning in her left shoulder. She merely shook her head and started to sit up. It didn't make sense to her why Yale looked so horrified after quickly retracting his elbow blades and scrambling to get off her-- Her breath hitched as she put weight on the left arm for support and almost collapsed again. Gritting her teeth and refusing to make any noise to draw attention, she turned her head to inspect the source of the- oh. A slit in the shoulder of her uniform vest and shirt was... leaking... Yeah, that would do it. Would also explain why Yale was looking beside himself with guilt and grief, and why she suddenly felt lightheaded. Harvard used her good arm to finish sitting up with a grunt, Yale not hesitating to help support her and help her to stand. She reached under the vest and applied pressure with her gloved right hand.
With her left hand, she winced as she dug out some Ultraballs from a pouch on her belt. "I'm fine. Check on the others," she ordered quietly, leaning against the wall. Yale looked uncertain, but a pointed nod from Harvard and he walked away.
"It's weakened," she spoke to the rest of her Rocket team. "Let's get this over with and get out of here." Harvard waited for Mesprit to dip from being hit by Jace before flinging one of the balls at it. The ball bounced off the Legend's head, but all it succeeded in was a sad squeak.
((Match the dice roll to get bragging rights!))

"GEN!" Bro' glared at the legendary, knock him down do ya? The ghost was up in the air again, despite the other two members of the team, who were weaker then he was. He heard the order from the Elite, though he didn't need to be prompted to do this. For the attack that he had been hit with, Bro delved out some payback of his own, aiming a Payback attack on the Misprite, to help with the catching process.
Jerome was back on his feet, oddly enough he seemed fine, other then a little dizzy from being uprooted so abruptly. They had been supplied with balls to help catch the pokemon, waiting for Bro's attempt, but throwing the ball with as good of aim as he could muster.

Tambrey wasn't having a good time detangling her thoughts from the pain she could feel, but she did see... a changed Jace, standing over her with Treestar and then registered his being replaced, to her it was with the blink of an eye, by Rory.
Treestar began to cry and wriggle in Rory's arms, his leaf flitting about. He wanted his trainer but he also wanted to get the thing that was hurting and scaring everyone, including him. Jace was going and he didn't want to abandon him or anyone. He'd been shocked at the sudden change in his friend, but words of a certain Meganium were recalled in his head.
Lasi was aghast at the sight of his trainer laying there, but with Rory there, he knew his duties were elsewhere. He approached the three of them, Rory, Treestar and Tambrey, deposited Neph, gently, in front of them and, with a glare, shot back the way he came, following Jace, ready to send a Confuse Ray at the Mesprit. He wasn't allowed to try and kill it... but he could try and make it easier to catch. Taking away its freedom sounded like a nice revenge after all it had put them through.

"Stay with us, Tam, come on," Rory whispered as he let the crying pokemon down to go back to his trainer. He turned his attention away from them in time to see the Mespirit go down, then captured. He breathed a sigh of relief when Harvard announced the objective as completed. Now they could go home.
He recalled Jace and Demeter and was about to turn back to Tambrey when he heard Aulus. Then he remembered the tapping.
"There was something on the way down here," Rory explained, "I felt it tap me on the shoulder a time or two." No, no, no, not now! Hopefully the legend was just that, a legend.

s**t, s**t, s**t and other curses he would think of when he'd finished panicking a bit! Hands clenching and unclenching he hurried over to Rory and Tam, trying to focus on her rather than on his own problems or rather possible future problems. That had been selfish. Maybe not feeling would make him a better person, all logic and doing the right thing at the right time... but if he didn't feel and therefore didn't care why would he ever bother to do anything at all.
"Let's get you moving, shall we Tam?" Aulus suggested, trying to sound normal rather than shaken and scared, really really trying to think about his injured friend rather than himself. "When we get back to base they'll give you some lovely drugs and you'll feel much better." Maybe he could get hold of some too.
Swiping his forehead with the back of his hand he looked around at the group again. "I can carry somebody if needs be, or Char can." Oh, s**t, right, pokemon! Fumbling for his pokeballs he recalled Tortie, Red, Discord and Paul but left Char out for now in case his carrying services were required.

Tambrey looked up at Rory and shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts enough. "Not going anywhere." She promised, though she didn't sound very well, pained by her injuries and, honestly, rather wanting to pass out rather than deal with them. "Kind 'f... hurts though." Understatement and the drugs Aulus mentioned sounded good.
She winced and didn't seem comfortable as Treestar tried to snuggle against her. Hey, there was Harvard as well. Well, the question wasn't addressed for her and she was tired. She tried making a thumbs up sign anyway. Couldn't walk, her insides felt torn up and she wanted to not be awake if she could, but she could recognise that she was able to communicate and, if a little dazed, knew who and where she was. "May not be able... to walk." She offered, implicating that otherwise she was 'fine' though looking at her would be enough to suggest not entirely true.

How could the damn elite be so calm? Had she already been touched by the thing or what?
"I'll scout the way back to the copter to check it's clear," Aulus decided, about half a second after he decided he felt like he was going to explode if he had to stand here and try to be polite to the elite any longer. What did he expect? This was Team Rocket, it wasn't famed for being full of cuddly caring people. "Char, stay behind and be a rear guard or carry people as necessary," Aulus ordered over his shoulder, already making his way back towards the tunnel they had emerged from with his staff back in his hand.
Everything seemed quiet as he went, unreasonably so.
They would know by tomorrow, she said.
What would he tell Claire and Alex? His girlfriend and his best friend, two people who had come to mean the world to him between them. Tightening his grip on his staff Aulus hastened onward with no thoughts in hid mind, only a swirl of sickening feelings in his gut.
