"Argh, you whoremongering knobeating piece of grimer dung! Why does everything have to choose a gods damn limb of their own to hit?"
Hit it hard, because I don't think I'm still standing after the next one.
He limps away from it three squares (will edit when I can see the map), and shoots again.

Artemis nods to Gerald and starts crawling backwards. If he looks at her, her eyes are a lot like those of a terrified kid. She was not trained for this kind of thing, and was completely out of her element. She then vanishes behind a blast of electricity that gets close enough to make your hair stand on end.

Romeo removes 2 balls from his belt, giving them to Mark. 'Here, a Meowth and a Snivy, both quite strong. Use them to look after the kids till I get the door open nd get you guys your pokemon.' He tosses Ollie's ball to Paul. 'You want to track down Arte and the others using Ollie's tracking? I'll grab Ethan and have him hack this door open.' He turns to the Rotom. 'Unless you can do something about this now?'
Paul shakes his head at Romeo's suggestion. Stuff that. That freak Anni insinuated he was going to hurt or kill one of my mons, and I need to know, for sure, that he didn't before I can do anything else. And if he did, then all I care about is making sure Buck rips out his spinal cord before we go.
The Rotom looks at the door. I can try. Not sure how much longer I can keep pulling these things open. Even I have limits.
Spoiler[roll0] Not sure what to roll!
While the Rotom got to work, Romeo nodded to Paul. 'Gotcha. You stay here and grab your team. I'll just look for whoever Elly can track. Elly, c'mon.'
The Espeon nodded. 'Okay' She lowered her head and started sniffing about for any scents she recongised. She also scanned nearby thoughts, looking for any other TR members. Ollie joined in with the sniffing out.

SpoilerBefore either of your blows land the spines on the Pokemon's back shoot into it. With a burst of supernatural speed it flies upward, crashing through the cieling. You can hear the jolt of little feet as it runs away.
SpoilerMark nods, taking the Meowth and tossing the Snivy to the twins.
"Just hurry," he says. "With these alarms the place will be crawling with guards. Not sure how many we can take. If you see my crossbow or sword, grab it, alright?"
SpoilerThe Rotom quickly vanishes into the door, and, a second later, it slides open without even struggle. You can see the doorway, but can also see a group of about four guards coming this way.
SpoilerOllie manages to snort a clump of dust up his nose, sneezing loudly and plastering the walls with snot.
Elly, on the other hand, looks down the hallway.
Gerald and Artemis that way. Ethan even further. Gerald is.... different.
"Okay...Arte, how much healing do you have to spread around?"
Gerald trains his gun on the ceiling.
"Think we need a sec to patch up and get bearings away from the side with the creepy molester."
Artemis takes a moment to regain composure, and is about to inject her other Fresh Water into her arm when Gerald speaks up. "Wait, you have nothing!?" She looks at the last Fresh Water. Romeo, wherever you are, please hurry. Gerald and I are badly injured. She looks at Gerald. Slash marks everywhere, a few bullet wounds... Artemis hands the Fresh Water to Gerald. Make it count. If you get us killed, I will murder you. She slowly eases to her feet. Her shirt was torn just above the midsection. Not high enough to get Romeo excited, but nothing soft besides skin was torn, and even that was already healing over slowly. Ugh... You lead.
"Don't worry, most of the people in this place can't shoot worth crap. Or take a bullet worth a damn."
He flips it into his arm, before slamming the plunger gently with his chin and taking it out with his teeth.
"Now c'mon, I feel like blowing someone's head off after all the crap they've put me through here."
(45/80)
Artemis follows Gerald further down the hall. Back through two sets of doors and the likely still toxic room would probably make her black out. Romeo, can you make some sort of noise to help us find where you are? Actually, don't, don't want more guards after you. Did you hear Gerald's gunshots? If so, how far away did they sound? She flickers the lights as far as she can reach as they walk. Do you see any lights flickering unusually?
SpoilerElectrokinesis range is 30m, likely modified due to lack of a line of sight to much of that. Probably would be changed to 30m down the hall.
More meat for the grinder. To turn into delicious, succulent burgers. Man, I'm getting hungry. Let's go kill some cannon fodder!
Paul levels his shotgun toward the guards, and keeps Willy prepared to move towards them when they come within range.
Seeing Elly point the same way, past the guards, Romeo nods and follows Paul, getting ready to fight.
The Rotom floats behind Paul, making him a meatshield whether he likes it or not.
Party!
Team One
SpoilerAs you continue down the hallway, you hear the shouts of a few guards. There is one last blast door barring your way.
You still occasionally the quick patter of feet across the cieling.
Team Two
SpoilerThe guards level their guns, making sure they were all loaded. All of them release Pokemon; one a small red humanoid with flames curling around it, the other a similar one of blueish grey coloring, likely a younger form in the Machop line.
The back two release more formidable Pokemon. One sends out a slender rodent that gazes at you intently, the other a large fluttering moth.
You can see one pull out a radio and call for help.
All:
SpoilerWe'll make this easy on all of us; you as a group act, then they act.
This has got to be some sort of ****ing joke. Gerald, hold on, be ready to shoot when we get to the other side if there's any hostiles. Also, keep an eye out for our little demon friend up there. Artemis grabs Gerald and hauls him through ANOTHER ****ING WALL!!!

Come on then, you pack of pederasts. My Scraggy screwed your mothers and didn't even really enjoy it!
Paul orders Willy to curl up, heightening the mon's defense.
Romeo, might be a good idea to put out another mon or two. We're gonna need 'em.
'Gotcha Chief.' Romeo took out Puck (since Ollie had somehow disappeared :smalltongue:). Puck was small enough to carry, so he could concentrate on Elly while having the little guy as back up. 'You know, feel free to evolve any time you want little guy.'
Romeo, carrying Puck, and Elly move forward, ready to fight.
SpoilerRomeo to K7, Elly to K9
Hide as much as you can, we need you up. Keep scanning minds too.
Gerald points his gun forward. Time to ruin a few people's days.
Sigh Here we go again. The Rotom floats forward t N8. He wasn't too thrilled for a real challenge for once.
Hust
SpoilerSorry, thought I wrote it in. Mark is patching them up ATM.
More maps.
First Crew
SpoilerAt Paul's insult, the guards shout angrily.
"Let's go!" one shouts, just in time to see the two appear from the wall.
"James, you and Charred deal with those two. Me 'n the rest will take those fools!" he shouts, ordering his team forward.
"Guts, get ready to wreck some [redacted].
The small grey Pokemon cracks its knuckles as its trainers and it advance.
"Nightwing, let's get this going!" the trainer with the moth shouts, pulling out his gun. The moth flies forward, sending a mighty gust of wind down the hall that collides with Rotom, pulling some of its ectoplasm away.
Spoiler9 damage.
The last trainer ordered to go after you runs forward with his rodent, the creature lighting itself up with a distorting light.
The guard tasked with the others turns and a cloud of smoke appears.
Wall Runners
SpoilerAs you phase through the wall, you see a small squad of guards as you run forward. When one sees you coming a red Pokemon lays down a cloud of smoke, obscuring him and his trainer from view.
Smoke. How quaint. Artemis blows a constant stream of wind (30 kmph, or 18.6 mph) at the smoke, blowing it away. She shadows all of Gerald's movements, trying to stay out of the line of fire. (Shift to always be behind Gerald, that is, letter value of position is the same as Gerald's, number value is Gerald's +1, would currently be O 46)
Meanwhile, Gerald moves to O40, shooting twice at the goon.
Anyone here we know, Arte?

Romeo and Elly move forward. Elly opens up with a Psybeam on the rodent.

Paul shakes his head.
Aw, I was goading them so they would come to us, and y'all have to go and rush after trouble.
Paul moves to M7, and directs Willy to scurry out to O-9 and use Swift on the moth.
[roll0] normal, special, cannot miss.
Map!
Artemis's gust rapidly disperses the smoke, making the man a clear target.
Gerald's shots aren't quite spot on; one misses, the other just catching the guard in the shoulder. He curses, clutching his arm.
As the Rotom lets out a wave of crackling electricity, the moth responds by folding into a ball, a sphere of protective light circling it, the wave of shocks bending around it. As it fades, Willy's Swift connects, causing it to stop fluttering for a second before recovering.
The rodent, with supernatural reflexes, leans back, Elly's wave of psionic energy crackling just over its head.
In the back the red Pokemon gets the order to fire and does so, quite literally, a burst of red flames flying from its mouth. For a second it seems as if Gerald will dodge, only to have the shot catch him in the shoulder.
Spoiler26 to Gerald
Up front, the rodent and moth are too exhausted from their defensive maneuvers to act, instead falling back as their trainers advance, guns raised. They fire, focusing on what they deem the biggest threat; the moth's trainer firing on Willy while the other two fire on Elly. The shots against Willy shatter harmlessly against his hide. Elly raises a barrier, catching some of the shots, but the trainer closest to the wall manages to catch her.
Spoiler8 to Elly
The grey Pokemon starts to advance, looking warily at Elly, only moving forward at the urging of his trainer.
Romeo, let my team out. Artemis looks at the little, red humanoid. She could knock it out in a heartbeat! But if she tried, she'd probably be shot, and that would help nobody. Still, do SOMETHING! She tries to aim a burst of electricity, trying to look around the barely taller Gerald.
