Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Maneuver 3-C, now!" Chaos shouted in shock as the Voltorb appeared. Without a moment to use, Warbringer executed Double Kick, using one kick on each Voltorb to hopefully send them flying.

With the Voltorb stunned by the attacks, Mykel was given enough time to teleport them away safely. With the threat eliminated, the path forward was cleared. The Combusken would soon lead them to an open room with a single elevator. Would they press the button and enter?

Looking tot he crate marked Eevee, Leslie pushed it into the middle of the room before swinging wildly at it in an attempt to open it up before the lid simply slid off. Feeling a little slow at not noticing it was loose, she began to hit the return buttons on each Pokeball, watching each of the Eevees disappear.

Except once the elevator opened, they would be prevented from entering as two men stepped out and blocked their way, both dressed in black with a red R on the front, one man very tall and slender, the other, short and buff. The two scowled with arms folded, a Golbat fluttering behind the tall one, and a Raticate behind the short. "Look what we have here, slim." The short one spoke. "Seems to me your Raticate isn't the only rat scurrying around here, buff." The tall one replied.

"Why don't we exterminate them before it becomes an infestation. Raticate, Hyper Fang that girly wimp!" The mouse's trainer shouted, the Pokemon lunging at Mykel, threatening to sink its teeth into the Psychic Pokemon. "Smack that chicken out of here! Wing Attack!" Slim commanded, his Golbat's wings glowing as it swooped down at Warbringer.

Back in the tower, the Eevee were all recalled with relative ease, except for one lone Eevee. All the Pokeballs were used and yet one still remained, apparently it lacked a ball. "Crap! How did you find our stash!?" A young woman dressed in black shouted as she charged into the room. "Those Eevee belong to us! Especially that one!" She said, pointing to the remaining Eevee not in a Pokeball. "Arbok, Glare!" With the order, her snake slithered through the doorway, rose up as its hood spread out proudly, the 'eyes' on its pattern beginning to glow with its own as it attempted to Intimidate the Snagems with its Glare.

"R... Great, more ghetto wangsters who say they're Ratchet." Allen teased before adding "Use Ember on that rat!" Zest would jump, firing a ball of fire at the lunging mouse Pokemon. He didn't have any other Pokemon so he'd need to be careful. Also didn't help he couldn't snag evolved Pokemon yet, but he could work around that. Someone was bound to have a weaker Pokemon. Until then, Zest would have to do.

"Mykel, sweep Psychic!" Lykas called as Mykel briskly evaded Raticate's Hyper Fang, allowing it to be hit by Allen's Magby's attack. When the third crony jumped down from the ceiling and released a Koffing, Mykel used it as a distraction, grabbing the blob of Sludge it fired at his ally with Psychic, spinning it around himself at high speed before throwing it back at Raticate with a blast of Psychic chi right behind it.

"Ambush us? You guys clearly don't know who you're messing with. We don't get ambushed, we ruin them." The hybrid jeered as he smirked at the trio. He had been expecting something along these lines from the moment they got inside the building. "And what kind of names do you guys have, really? I really hope those are codenames or something, otherwise I expect you got picked on a lot in school." He added a derisive laugh here, figuring if he angered this lot, they'd lose their focus on the battle. Better to battle the trainer than the Pokemon most of the time.

Kaya was the first to react when Arbok entered. "Josie, Detect!" He called to his partner, who sensed the Pokemon's intention and raised a barrier of chi within herself to defend against the snake's attack.

"Air Cutter! Slice that sludge cake!" Slim shouted, his Golbat flapping its wings as it sent a choppy gust of wind at the sludge headed for Raticate, the Air Cutter cutting it up and protecting Raticate. "They think they can pull one over on us, huh? Raticate, hit that girly thing this time! Quick Attack and clamp down!" Buff roared, his Raticate zipping forward, zigzagging in the process and once near would slam its body into Mykel, and bite down with all its might. As for Koffing, it was hit by the Ember attack, blowing out a puff of smoke in anger. "No one mocks Smarts! No one! Koffing, Tackle!" She ordered, pointing at the Magby. Koffing would obey accordingly and throw its self full body at the Fire type.
