The Shadow Lunatone let out a pained cry as the sprinklers went off, the water like acid to the Rock type. In its agony it began to charge up Shadow energy, preparing to retaliate in some form as a massive amount of oppressive energy began to swell up around it. Whatever it was preparing to do it was going to be big, painful, and positively-
"Tone!?" Shadow Lunatone shouted, more in confusion than pain, in fact it almost forgot about its current painful predicament after a certain Wynaut just bounced against its eye, the Shadow Lunatone's concentration completely broken as its mind was trying its best to come to terms with the fact that this puny Pokemon just...attacked it? Poked it? Lightly bumped into it? Did it sneeze in its direction? None of that mattered though, Harleen accomplished exactly what she needed to do as a Pokeball from a certain individual came flying at the Shadow Pokemon.
Crystal's Pokeball would connection with Shadow Lunatone and suck the creature inside, the ball slamming shut before hitting the ground, shaking. The Shadow Lunatone would struggle for a second or two but it did not have the strength to do much beyond that and soon the ball would stop shaking and the button flash once to indicate a successful snag.
As for the store associate not only was her flight delayed by the sudden rain, finding it difficult to safely run in high heels when the carpet was soaking wet, but now an actual arm was flying towards her from behind and it certainly wasn't to give her a 'pat on the back'. The metal arm thrown by Reno would collide with the woman knocking her off her feet, out of her heels, and her head would meet the door she was attempting to pass through. The woman wouldn't be doing much else after this as she laid face down on the wet carpet, water still raining down. Wet, makeup ruined, knocked out of her shoes, her Pokemon snagged, and now lying face down on the passed out after some weirdo threw his actual arm at him. This woman was not allowed a shred of dignity today.
The Snagems would be allowed a minute to collect themselves before more trouble was about to be upon them, the security door to the shop now beginning to rise as the woman's backup finally came and both Crystal and Reno could sense the quartet of Shadow Pokemon on them, there was no way they could take them all on, especially now that Deo was out of it, so that left them with one option; retreat. However, it wasn't all in vain, there was a very valuable hostage they could take with them. Time to teleport out of this place. |

SubonicXP The sinister snake's attack would be thwarted when a Grass Knot was conjured and tripped the snake up giving Magmar the perfect opportunity to slug the Shadow Seviper right across the face. The snake would real in pain, some of its scales now singed as it turned to look at the Magmar that just hit it and let out an angry hiss, shadow energy swelling around it as it prepared to attack. Shadow Castform was struck by one hit from the Bonemerang before this time blasting it back on its return trip with a Scald. However, while it spared it another hit from the bone it left its self wide open as Lykas's Water Spout slammed into it and then sent it colliding with the Shadow Seviper, putting an end to whatever Shadow move it was getting ready to execute as the pair of Shadow Pokemon were sent flying. The trio of Shadow Pokemon however were not going to go down that easy. Alongside the Seviper the now reverted to normal form Castform slowly began to pick its self off the ground, the later much slower to do so as the Shadow Seviper began to slither towards Tristen's Magmar. Before the Shadow Castform could do much else an unseen force would cause it to slam back down into the ground, the Castform clearly struggling against something pushing it down, the source quickly noted as Poe stood by Sub's side, snickering. Poe the Sableye used Quash. "Monique, snag it now!" He instructed the girl to snag the Shadow Castform, then turned his attention to Tristen as the Seviper slowly made its way for his Magmar, the snake gradually picking up speed as its Shadow energy swelled. "Knock that thing back and snag it!" He called out to the young Manetric hybrid, the Shadow Seviper now about to go into a Shadow Blitz.
The shadowfied Seviper made its lunge with its Shadow Blitz attack, Magmar yelping out as the attack drove right into the Magmar. The attack nearly took the walking fiery inferno head over heels. "Magmar! Are you alright?" Tristen called out.
"MAR!" Magmar called back, it didn't take kind to such a vile attack. The Pokemon started to remember that at one time, it was just like this. It needed to be stopped.
"Magmar! Strength!" The Magmar rushed in and snatched up the snake in its fiery mitts and in a show of strength slung it around and slammed the snake back on the ground with great force, only to toss it back away from him.
"Good job, Magmar. I'll try to take it from here!" He said, reading a Great Ball in his Snag Machine. As the Seviper was trying to get his what little of his senses back to get up, Tristen tossed the converted Great Ball right for the Seviper. |

The respective devices thrown by Tristen and Monique would connect with their targets, said devices opening up, converting the enemy Shadow Pokemon into energy, then sucking the energy into its confines before slamming shut and falling to the ground. The Pokeballs would rock from side-to-side a few times as the Shadow Pokemon attempted to resist capture but their struggles were in vain, too weak to break free before the device sealed shut completely. The button on each of the Pokeballs would flash once and give off a burst of 'stars' to signify that their snags were a success. Whether they kept the Pokemon for themselves to purify or handed them over to GRAY was their decision.
With Shadow Seviper captured Tristen would be free to turn his attention back to the 'Master Collector', or rather the area where he was. The hybrid would piece together that the Collector tried to escape in the chaos and was now being chased by Officer Jenny herself, the officer forced to recall her Manetric in the face of the Shadow Pokemon. Maybe Tristen could give the officer an assist, a shockingly helpful one perhaps.
As for Monique the Snagem leader himself would approach her and give her a pat on the back. "You did good." He complimented her, but then began to sniff the air. "...something smell like burnt hair?" He asked. Poe, now attached to Sub's back, would leer at Monique, lecherously. Even though it was a Pokemon and she wasn't completely in-tune yet with her hybridism it was clear the Sableye was trying to flirt with her. That's Poe for you though. |

Monique was relieved and still bewildered. What sort of Pokémon had she caught? With the environment having died down, she would now notice that her fur hadn't come out of it unscathed. Ugh, that stinks. Having not had fur before to experience this, it was unsettling.
She looked at Sableye. She was familiar with this Pokémon—it lived on Aether Island, of course. But this one had a look (and a bit of energy) that definitely indicated it wanted to do things to her.
"Stop it, you..." Monique scowled. "I'm a sheriff, dammit. I don't have time for disgusting hunks of gemstone like you." This is why every single member of my posse was a woman... Because of jerks like that.
Trying to move on (and move out of the way of that positively dreadful smell), she picked up the Poké Ball with the Pokémon she had just snagged. She tapped her SNAG. "GRAY, what Pokémon is this?" |

Brian gave a soft sigh of relief when Firebrand was able to avoid damage thanks to the Confusion attack, and he couldn't help but grin as the Fire Blast hit its mark, sending the Normal-type flying before exploding. Ah, that felt good, especially after the failed hit on the Shadow Ralts. Hearing Sub yelling to start snagging, Brian nodded, but didn't ready a Pokeball. It wouldn't make sense for him to snag the Zangoose, since he already had a Shadow Pokémon. Instead, he looked to Firebrand, who looked back at him. "Bulldoze to throw it off balance, then follow it up with Lava Plume!" he ordered, and the Fire-type obeyed, both of them hoping this combo would be enough to allow one of the others to snag the Shadow Zangoose.

SubonicXP MoniqueBrie Trying to move on (and move out of the way of that positively dreadful smell), she picked up the Poké Ball with the Pokémon she had just snagged. She tapped her SNAG. "GRAY, what Pokémon is this?" GRAY started to speak. It wasn't shocking indeed, a world where pollution had wiped out most life? Castform were incredibly sensitive to the environment and thus pollution. "Castform, the Weather Pokemon. Castform borrows the power of nature to transform itself into the guises of the sun, rain, and snow-clouds. Castform can change its cells, taking different forms based on the temperature and humidity of its environment. The result is a chemical reaction and not the result of its own free will. While a Normal type its type will change to reflect the form it currently takes." GRAY said, reading off some of the Pokedex's information on Castform for Monique.
"Thanks, GRAY. That...makes sense." She'd heard tales from the elders about a weather Pokémon that disappeared when the world started to choke and when the island had to abandon even having weather. Those Castform had to have endured a lot. SNAG pulled up some reference photos, which prompted her to learn that she had faced Sunny Form Castform, a Fire type, and it had Water- and Ice-type variations.
She held the Poké Ball containing Castform in her hand, feeling like she was holding something of archaeological value, like some sort of dinosaur bone. A Pokémon whose life was intimately tied in with something that by her time had long gone. And a Pokémon whose life had been turned upside-down by the Shadow virus—her first Shadow Pokémon.
The weight of being 49 years in the past hit home. She looked at Marowak, clearly worn down from the encounters with Grimer and Castform. The two looked at each other for a moment, a bond of understanding between the longtime partners. |

Cera ducked on instinct just as Darts kicked the Power Gem right back, swearing she could hear cheers of "GOOOOOOOOAL" while Starmie tumbled away to safety. "Never a dull moment," she remarked, quickly standing up while she had the chance. and watching as their foe got back up and started to reveal their winnings. Immediately, she braced herself for the impact of the coins, panicking in the moment when she could've tried to stop the coins somehow.
"Darts, if you've got any good ideas, feel free to give- THEM?" Being answered in the form of a TM slapped on her forehead wasn't exactly what she had in mind, but the machine was set and turns out, being transformed didn't exactly inhibit these things no matter how old they were. The TM would break in a few seconds and before Cera could say anything further, she'd burp a stream of bubbles at Starmie and the flying coins alike, coughing soon after from an interaction she could've done without. Upside, she was quite a fast learner.
"Was... was that Bubble Beam? Didn't that leave circulation decades ago- ugh, the aftertaste sucks..." She remarked, grimacing. "Tell me that case has something better." |

Crystal used her psychic abilities to float the Pokéball to her, looking at it before turning her attention to the knocked out woman on the floor. She’d check to make sure the woman was still breathing before looking to Reno. At least he was recovering, and calling for a pick up. “Right, well then,” she muttered, picking up the woman and throwing her over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes. “Apolla!”
Speaking of the Espeon, she would be at the large Luxray’s side, pawing at him. “Oi, buddy! You okay, big guy? We’ve gotta get out of here, snap out of it,” she’d mentally tell him, tails flicking rapidly. “We’ve got incoming, and you don’t want to be here for the amount of jerkoffs, come on!”

[Location: Ritzy Ribbon Retail]
GRAY would respond to Reno's teleportation order promptly, Claydol appearing as soon as Crystal had snatched up the store clerk and flung her over her shoulder. The three Snagems would meet eyes with the gang of Shadow Pokemon holders just before they were pulled through space and time, reappearing back at Snagem HQ.
[Location: Food Court]
Tristen would successfully zap the fleeing man into submission, plenty long enough for Officer Jenny to catch up to him and cuff him, pulling the still slightly twitching man up to his feet before shaking Tristen's hand. "Thank you, son. Ever thought about getting into police work yourself?" She said with a smile, tipping her hat to the hybrid before walking off with her suspect.
Seeing that the last of the Shadow Pokemon were snagged the Dark One let out a sigh of relief, his brief moment of peace broke by his perverted Sableye, the trainer recalling Poe to his ball. "Sorry about him." He apologized to Monique before turning his attention to Lykas. "I agree, we're done here." He said, pulling out his SNAG to summon Claydol. "Let's head back to headquarters and regroup, we don't want to get in the way of the local police. This was a doozy of a day." With that said Sub teleported back to Mt. Silver.
[Location: Game Corner]
The Bubblebeam would connect with the incoming flurry of metal coins, the force of the Bubblebeam enough to cause the two impacts to cancel each other out. Eventually Starmie would run out of coins to launch and there was a period of calm as the starfish figured out what to do next.
Deciding on unleashing a furious blast of water from its gemstone, the stream aimed at the ground, the water churning into its self and creating a small wave as it rushed towards where Darts and Cera were, the Surf beginning to flood the room and some of the water draining into the hole in the ground where the slot machine was.
