[PRP] Prototypes

[Blood_Goddess]

Puffs of steam collected and dispersed in a rhythmic pattern with the soft breath's that the Agent female would breath gently through her noise.
The women stood alone in the snow and ice, surrounded by the gnarled trees of Cypress Forest.

Gray boots shifted in the flattened snow under her feet, her head bowed lightly and the tall pony tail pulling her hair back from her face swayed from the motion, though fell still in the completely silent and windless forest.
It was hard to believe sometimes, with all the stillness of the world up above, that just below her feet was a vast bustling empire of production. If she so much cared about that kind of thing she could almost say it was poetic. But as usual, the women's mind was on her work, very little else would be able to sway her concentration. It was a simple matter to the Agent that what she was working on was just leagues more interesting then the forest around her anyway.

If you knew Faleen, then it would go without saying that she was wearing her usual attire, white Rocket uniform, pressed and warn nearly, black under suit and the short gloves with black fingers, tools she had developed to have many different uses despite their simplistic appearance.
The straps around her thigh that held a collection of dusk and dark balls.
Though today she wore something a little different, a collar around her neck that her face dipped into, as if protecting against the cold, though the collar seemed to clip into place was was made of some kind of plastic or metal, from it was a coat of some kind. short, ending at her mid back and only extending down the backs of her arms, where it connected into two clips just before the bend of her elbow.

Her breath puffed again, as a voice from the collar clip spoke in a computerized simplistic tone.
"-Environment levels: Updating-"

A light blip and a screen appeared as a hologram before the women's eyes, encouraging a small frown on her features. "Their condition is deteriorating..."

"-Affirmative-" The voice replied.

"Are they still responsive to commands?" She asked in a more clear tone.

"-Affirmative-"

"So they're tough at least..." her voice lowered to a mutter to herself, still scanning the display before her face.  

[Venti Mico]

If there had been a steep, snow-coated mountain nearby, things could have quickly deteriorated into a nasty avalanche. Luckily, it was mostly trees and whatever wild pokemon that were still in the frosty area that were going to have their ears shrieked off; a loud, piercing scream filled the air, seemingly out of nowhere, and if one listened closely(if they hadn't been deafened already), they'd hear the frantic crunch of snow under the feet of a rather short person. If they listened closer, they'd hear the angry growling and grunting of a few aggressive Emboards. And even if whoever was around wasn't listening closely, the short girl, bundled in a thick brown coat, came bursting through a copse of trees.

Aija couldn't keep her eyes forward, switching between watching where she was going and keeping an eye on the pursuing Emboars behind her. She let out another short yelp and sped up, dashing towards Faleen at full speed- and just barely noticing the woman ahead of her before she went crashing into her. Aija squealed again, her attempts to slow down ending in a graceless, face-first crash landing into the icy ground near Faleen.

"Nē, nē, nē!" Aija cried out just before her inevitable crash, the pair of Emboars still hot on her tail.  

[Blood_Goddess]

The scream of course didn't no unnoticed, serving to snap the trained Agent onto alert.
Whipping around in an instant the Agent eyed the wilderness, her first thought was to have Porygon activate the scanning programming on her new project, though that was quickly dashed- as the programing had not been completed and uploaded yet. It would also seem like she wouldn't need to go to such lengths as the source of the noise was soon bursting from the bushes not far from where Faleen stood.
The Agent just barely managing to take a step back, her eyes widening and her thoughts only on his potential damage that a collision would cause to her testing tech-
But then this was exactly the kind of situation that Faleen had Banette for.

A dark blue colored Banette twisted into view right in front of Faleen, the ghost type swinging its floppy arms though it was with surprising strength that it managed to knock Aija out of the way from colliding with his master.

As it wasn't the end of the danger, Banette held both arms out before him, with both humans cleared out of the way, the Agent's Banette fired off a shadow ball at the leading Emboar.  

[Venti Mico]

For a moment, Aija froze in panic, thinking the creature that'd appeared in front of her was somehow another Emboar or maybe a Pignite, Aija didn't move to cushion her fall and landed heavily.

Still in a flurry, Aija quickly fished out a pokeball just as the Banette had let loose an attack, "T-Tints! Aiziet, aiziet- Izliekties!" She yelled out, and a small Zorua popped out of the ball. The small pokemon hesitated as the shadow ball hit its mark, then took aim on the second Emboar and let out a feint attack. It hit it's mark too, but didn't seem to do much but make the other pokemon angry, "Atgriezties-" Aija said quickly, shoving herself to her feet and taking off towards the nearest tree. Tints caught up with her in a flash, following Aija right up the snow covered tree; she was high off the ground in only a few seconds, clinging to the trunk for dear life.  

[Blood_Goddess]

Faleen glanced to the girl that had been knocked away, but only once she determined she was okay was her complete focus put back to her Banette.
She could deal with who this human was later, Right now there was some foolish pokemon that had to be dealt with.

The fact that they kept pushing, even through Banette's attacks and the girl trying to defend herself with a Zorua... a good choice in Faleen opinion.
The agent stood her ground, turning to face off with the wild pokemon, a dark glower crossing her face as she stared down the fire types that dared to disrespect humans.
They would learn from their mistakes as the Agent called out two more to enter the fray, An Absol with blackened eyes barely touched the snow before horn and claws were diving at the Emboar, and a glistening shiny Zoroark lunged in for an attack on the other one, neither showing an ounce of mercy in their attacks.  

[Venti Mico]

As more pokemon got called out, out of a somewhat irrational fear she'd be dragged back into the fight, Aija had Tints returned to a pokeball and stowed away safely. She looked on at the battle, heart hammering so hard she felt dizzy; god, she hated Emboars! She was still too panicked to appreciate the woman and her pokemon taking care of the problem though, instead she pulled herself another branch higher and tucked herself in close to the trunk to wait. And to breathe. Still, her adrenaline didn't stop pumping, and she had absolutely no plan to come down until the Emboars were completely gone.  

[Blood_Goddess]

Wild pokemon were not a challenge to Faleen's team, and through the situation might have been handled with a bit more overkill then was necessary, and was carried out with an obvious degree of malice, leaving the two dark types hunkered in the snow over their victims, blood dripping from their claws and licked from their teeth while their master tossed some spare dusk balls to capture the Emboar.
These would probably prove useful for the labs.

With that now squared away Faleen now turned toward the tree, large hazel eyes falling on the human who had been chased by the pokemon.
"Porygon- Identify this girl."

"- .... Identified: Grunt Aija Dzintara-"
The computerized voice spoke from the collar.

The Agent visibly relaxed when it was confirmed that this was another Rocket.
"Grunt Aija-" Faleen said, making her way over "Are you injured?"  

[Venti Mico]

Aija didn't end up watching much of the quick fight- she squeezed her eyes shut and clung to the tree. She didn't open her eyes again until the Agent spoke to her, having found Aija's name quickly. She opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out. Swallowing and wetting her dry throat, Aija slipped down a few branches until she was only just over the Agent's head.

"Nē- a-ah, no, ma'am," she said quietly, rubbing her arm- she'd landed on it rather harshly, and was scuffed up from her chase, but other than bruises and a few scratches she was alright. Her head still felt dizzy, but that was more from her panic than anything. Swallowing again and lowering her eyes, Aija moved down until she was dangling from a branch not too high- though she slipped and landed on her rear when her feet hit the ground.  

[Blood_Goddess]

Faleen watched the Grunt up in the tree, moving her way down slowly as she answered Faleen's question.
The Agent watched her, seeing no real damage on the girl- or at least none that would affect her climbing skills. She had to admit, she was impressed with how quickly she had gotten up the free.

It was getting down that seemed more of a challenge.
The Agents eyebrows arched as the last stretch of tree descending ended in the Grunt falling and landing harder on the ground then she probably intended. Faleen stepped forward, reaching a hand out to help her up.

"You appear to be alright." Faleen noted "You were trying to get back to base, weren't you. How did you end up in that situation?"  

[Venti Mico]

Aija let out a short breath of frustration, hesitating before taking the Agent's hand shakily; Aija hadn't noticed til then, but she was trembling from her run in with the wild Emboars. It took her a second to translate Faleen's words, and then to translate her own reply back into English- a process that got more difficult the more shaken up she was.

"I was- there, I, um... I was training," she said, sticking her hands in her pocket and holding Tints' pokeball. "My Joltik got away, and he found, um.. troubles. Two of troubles." She said, hesitantly looking over to the blood remains of the battle. The hair on the back of her neck stood up, less from the blood and more from the memory of the pokemon. "I... was panic, and ran, and they followed, and-" Aija shook her head, eyes on the ground. In a quiet voice, she tacked on, "Really hate...pigs.."  

[Blood_Goddess]

Faleen felt the shaking from under her glove, assuming of course that the incident had been frightening, a conclusion that was made clear at the girl's explanation.
"I see- well this is a good experience to help you understand the importance of furthering your training." Faleen offered her advice. "It was fortunate that you ran into me." Faleen paused "I feel I must apologize for my Banette's rough action on you- his intent was to protect the expensive gear I have with me, not to attack you in any way."  

[Venti Mico]

Aija nodded, keeping her head lowered. At least at her height it was easy to avoid eye contact when she wanted to; Aija was grateful she wasn't being scolded. Now that she was calming down, she'd started worrying she might get in trouble for not handling the situation better- but of course, it had to be Emboars! Not something nice and easy to handle like a giant Onix or something. Emboars!

Aija looked up and blinked at the apology. It shook her from her train of thought, and she tilted her head to the side with a quiet laugh. "It is okay, was not watching where I ran... U-um, instead, I should thank you, for not being mad. And for not letting me become, er... dead, because of the..." She slumped her shoulders, frowning, "Emboars..."  

[Blood_Goddess]

Once the girl was on her feet, the agent returned her hands to her sides, standing up as tall as she could over the uneven frozen ground.
the girls comment was not met with surprise, Faleen knew very well that there were many agents who would have responded to the event with a much harsher tone, not that she could really judge them for that reaction of course, different ways of thinking after all.

"As long as this event has become a learning experience for you, and will help push you to better yourself so that next time something like this does not happen again, I see no reason to be upset over something like this." Faleen explained though with a clear pointed lesson to the grunt.
Improving, it was essential for survival in Team Rocket.
"We all have to start somewhere."

Banette, who was floating on by his team mates turned to watch Faleen interact with the girl he had knocked out of her path, the ghost type floated over, though with a watchful business like air about him.
Faleen did not tolerate her Pokemon attacking other Rockets, but what Banette had done was commendable and most certainly a part of the job she had given him. The Tech is priority.

"I'm getting the suspicion that it wasn't the fact that they were Pokemon after you, but more that they were a specific kind of Pokemon." Faleen noted
