Team Rocket: How the Muk are They Still Alive?

[hustlertwo]

Paul reaches out through Speck to have him communicate with the others after they have had their fill.

I have friends who sound like they may need my help. Can you tell the others to try to weaken the bonds that hold me? Especially the big one there. If we can find and free the others, they have more food for your family.

[Arcran]

Something...something bad was happening. Struggle. Struggle. It hurts...struggle anyway. Why? Don't know. Don't know. Get off. Get out. Get away. He tries to get his arm out...please...whatever things are, please...

As you struggle, you manage to break your thumb and slide right out of the restraint. Sure, it hurt, but it was better than the alternative. You slump to the ground in a daze.

CON check if you want to act.

Okay, that's it. Artemis glares towards the man and walks towards him and through the wall. **** you, I'll walk where I want to walk. As she clears the door, she proceeds to book it down the hall as fast as she can go, heading for Romeo. You seem panicked. Need a bit of help?

The man shouts and you hear the familiar buzz of a walkie talkie. He levels his gun at you, but just misses as you duck around a corner. Just as you think the way is clear, three guards round the other corner. They shout and fumble with their weapons.

There is a door halfway around the corner.

Map!

Time for a new location. The Rotom de-possesses the tazer, using his regained ghostly visage to render himself invisible. He floats, slowly, towards the cage.

Spoiler

You turn invisible quite easily; Anni is desperately looking around, trying to find the source of the shock. He mutters curses as he staggers around, paralyzed, and starts to head over to a table on the far side of the room, back momentarily turned.

I got a plan, and I have our stuff Arte. Get to me.

Romeo inticates a large selection of balls on the wall that he didn't recognize. Elly, float those over to the guys coming at us. Hope a little chaos can hold them off for a bit. He limps over to his gear and opens his medcase, treating his wounds.

Spoiler

Romeo uses Treat Light Wounds on himself. Gains 20 hp back and hopefully fixes his leg.

Spoiler

Show

You manage to get a splint on your leg; far from perfect, but it lets you put some weight on it. You may not be able to run full speed, but it will do.

Elly lobs the balls into the hallway. Only a few land in such a way to accidently trigger, but the shouts as Pokemon appear are loud. Elly slams the door shut.

RHYHORN! RUN!!! you hear, with a mixture of curses, a few gunshots, and a massive roar. This definitely wasn't a Rhyhorn just used for pulling a cart.

Did a CHA check for you. Damn Nat 20...

Speck relays your message. A few seconds later, the group of Rattata get to work. The large one bites down on your leg chain once, twice, three times, snapping the chain like it was nothing. It looks up at you, a slight grin in its eyes.

Gerald shakes his head, trying to clear it. Pain in his hand...why didn't that bother him as much? Different pain...pain inside...he pukes his guts out as the feeling of having 19 years forcibly ripped from his skull overtakes him, before crawling further away from where he had been, away from Ani. Towards a door, wall, SOMETHING of use...

Artemis sprints down the hall, weaving to her left when she spots the side hallway. (4m into side hallway)

[IrnBruAddict]

Romeo gathers up all his gear, and as much of his team mates pokemon as he can. He then starts to pull on Arte's armour and Ethan's gauntlet. He'd apologize about borrowing them later. Also need to apologize about Sparky too.

'Elly, keep at it. More balls. More chaos!' He'd wait just a little longer. That was all he needed. Just a little bit longer.

'Cresselia, are you still there? Where are the kids being kept? I need to save John and the others. We grab everyone and run, that's my plan. I can't stop Anni yet. People's lives take priority for now. Vengeance can come later.'

[hustlertwo]

Paul laughs, a deep, slightly manic chortle that sends his belly shaking.

They thought they could intimidate me! Beat me down, strip away my friends, my team. They thought that could stop Paul Ticker. And they might have been right. But they didn't count on the return of Johto's most dangerous trainer...Rattata Joey!

He looks at his hairy horde of helpers.

Speck, you and yours have already done a lot, and if you want to wait until this is over that is fine. I will come back with the food I promised. But I am going to go hurt the badmen that have hounded and attacked you and your family. And if all of you come with me, especially Big Bad Brown over there, then we ought to be able to swarm over them.

It takes a try or two, but you manage to get the cage to pop open. As you do so, the apes run past your, hooting and hollering. They make a beeline for Anni. He sees them coming and hobbles quickly to the table. He grabs something, injecting it into his arm. The waves of electricity go away just in time for the apes to tackle him.

You manage to crawl a few meters, then begin to feel better. You think you could probably at least stand now. It probably was a good thing you didn't get up; two apes, apparently coming out of nowhere, leap at Anni, tackling him. They seem familiar, but you can't remember from where.

Artemis sprints down the hall, weaving to her left when she spots the side hallway. (4m into side hallway)

Spoiler

Show

As you race down the hallway, a guard takes a shot at you, clipping your shoulder. You manage to duck into the room, slamming the door shut. You barley have time to brace it before it is almost slammed open by the opposing guards. There's no internal lock, although a quick look around shows that this appears to be a supply closet. There are cleaning agents, supplies, and the basics like brooms and mops.

A man continues to slam into the door. From under the door you can hear a siren sound and see a red light flash.

You manage to quickly find everybody's main Pokemon; Willy and Buck for Paul, Mjolnir and Ollie for Ethan, Sparky for Gerald, and Aquilla and Dilumvium for Artemis. Thirty seconds more of looking gets you your entire team.

Elly looks at you quizzically.

I don't think you want me to open the door, she says.

They're in another cell block. Go left. Look for a yellow door.

Paul laughs, a deep, slightly manic chortle that sends his belly shaking.

The Rattata seem unsure. A quick chattering goes between the Pokemon, finally ending with the big one growling at the others.

Good monkies. Very good monkies. Gerald clambers to his feet, before looking for the doorway and making a beeline for it. Must find...S...no, NO, this one's too important to let fade away! Try harder dammit! S...Sparky! Must find Sparky! The fog clears a bit, and he remembers some other faces, human and pokemon. He...he has a dog? That sounds happy. Find him too! Maybe the humans as well!

Well that was fun. Lets see if any of Egghead's other friends need their butt's saved. The Rotom sneaks away from Kissy-Face Man, staying invisible, and going back into the camera system. Looking for anyone needing technical support.

[IrnBruAddict]

Romeo lets Buck out. 'Elly, carry as many of those balls with you as you can. Same plan. We see a bad guy, we chuck an unknown ball at them and run. Buck, I'll need to rely on you and Sparky now to protect us. You've always been one of the stronger members of the team, and I probably can't command Mjolnir or Willy to well. I believe in you. You're Paul Ticker's new ace.' Romeo nodded at Buck, then moves to the door, and pressed his ear against it. If all was quiet, he'd head for the direction Cresselia told him.

'I'm sorry to be such a burden on you my lady Cresselia. I promise you I am trying my hardest. Could you guide my companions too? Or, if not, can you at least contact Arte next time she reads my mind? I understand if you can't.'

He holds his necklace tightly. I won't fail you my lady.

[Esprit15]

Artemis clasps at her shoulder, but it seems like it was just a small flesh wound, nothing serious. She holds against the door, frantically looking around. What to do, what to do... Sprinklers, that would be good. With an alarm already blaring they shouldn't hear. What to use... couldn't rely on a random detergent to catch fire, and she didn't want to poison herself with the fumes. Just need a quick burst of it...ah-ha! An aerosol bottle flies over to her. Next, disable movement when they come in. Need more than that just water for that... Ah, there we go! A bottle of liquid soap is pulled over to her. She uncaps it and pours it around the room, adding another if it isn't enough until the whole room except for the small area behind the door is slick (still need friction to hold the door back, after all). She uncaps the aerosol can and puts two fingers on the two sides of the nozzle and runs an arc of electricity between them. She then sprays the spray at the smoke detector.

You manage to get to your feet and race out the door, which is unlocked. As you enter the hallway, a wave of sound hits you. Some kind of red light is flashing and a high pitched burst of sound goes on and off. You don't know the purpose, but it's there.

Just then, a man rounds the corner, bumping you. You swing your leg low, taking his legs out. As he falls, you stomp on his wrist, forcing him to drop his gun. You flip it up to yourself, take aim....

BLAM

The body slumps to the ground. You are more than Gerald. You are The Assassin; a man with a past you can't remember, but your training remains. Even with one arm, you're a better fighter than most of these fools.

Another two guards round there corner, guns at the ready.

As you leave, you see an ape fly across the room, a purplish glow around its chest.

Soon enough you find cameras. The kisser is in the hallway; you arrive just in time to see him blow somebody's brains out. You can't find the ugly girl, but her lover is making a run for it. Paul is still in his cell, slamming into a door.

You see Anni send the other ape flying, getting up, seemingly unhurt. You see a large guard blow a large Rock Pokemon's brains out, his companions firing on the others. You see a squad close in on Romeo.

Romeo lets Buck out. 'Elly, carry as many of those balls with you as you can. Same plan. We see a bad guy, we chuck an unknown ball at them and run.

I cannot speak with them. Even now, simply with you, it is a strain due to HIS presence, the voice says.

As you exit the room, Buck leads. You make it around the corner safely; seems that Rhyhorn is doing its job well. Elly has about five Pokeballs circling around her. You round another corner; no guards. You see the yellow door!

Then three guards round the corner. They see you, shout, and raise their guns. One fires, but Buck leaps in front of you, taking the shot.

Behind you, you hear the blast of a shotgun. The Rhyhorn cries out, and its roaring stops.

The aerosol ignites, sending a jet of fire at the detector. A few seconds later, a sprinkler starts to drench the room, putting a thick coat of water on the ground that mixes with the soap to create a sudsy mess. You can barely keep your feet on it.

Your footing unsafe, the door is busted open as you lose your grip. You fall to the ground. Two guards enter the room, guns pointed at you, the sprinkler quickly coating them.

He chuckles, then turns when he hears a guard scream, Big Brown in the process of removing the man's throat.

He quickly pumps his shotgun to fire at you. He aims, fires....

And instead of the wetness of blood and excruciating pain you expected, you instead hear a curse. Speck is clinging on his hand, biting hard. The man curses, shaking his hand, throwing the Rattata heavily into the wall. He pumps his gun, takes aim....

He then charges toward the brute, attempting either to knock him down or wrest the gun from his grasp.

[roll0] Str check.

You don't quite do either; you struggle for the gun, but he's strong. Just when you think he's going to overpower you, despite your massive rage, four Rattata leap on him, biting and tearing. He swats two away, slams one away with his gun, only to have Big Brown fly in, tearing through his eye. The man spasms, screaming in pain, then goes still.

Big Brown pulls out, hit entire head coated in eyeball and blood. He looks at Speck, heading over and nudging the Rattata. It does not respond.

Through your link, you can feel him there, but only barely. It's as if his life is hanging on less than a thread.

Ethan ponders for a moment. Too risky. Too easy for her to not believe me and then the whole killing part. Besides, I'm not in dire situation, not yet at least.

Guns are always nice to have. Can hand one off to one of the others. Artemis walks briskly towards the door as she injects one of the Fresh Waters into her arm. Walls to contain a Psychic. How quaint. "Idiots..." she laughs to herself. Still, phasing is a bit tiring. She focuses on the mechanism closing the door, attempting to hold of the electrical signals in it if possible.

Use one Fresh Water, bringing to full HP

Either use Electrokinesis to halt the door

No thought. Just reaction. Again he lines it up.

"Congratulations. You're the first one slated for Execution...wait, dammit, I messed part of that up!"
He's still trying to get away from the room Ani was in.

Romeo spun round to aim at the noise. He levels his gun at the guards, but notices them fighting a Rotom (not that he knows what that is). Deciding not to shoot the thing fighting his enemies, he drops his gun. 'Elly, swift on the guards. Don't hit the glowy pokemon.'
