dex check to be stealthy ... (1d20+1)[4](5)

John a 2 seconds behind the kid, quick darts to the far side of the room because it is darker. As the kids enters the subway I cause the lights to flicker for a few seconds
Spoiler
so it looks like the bulb might die, but then stays on. While using this as cover John quickly and quietly sneaks over there and stays there. watching and waiting for the perfect opportunity to get this guy.

Damian grabs a bottled water from a vending machine. Things could get bad and he wanted to stay ready. (cost?) He fans away from the group, heading to a shady, out of the way spot that still allows him a view. I'll keep listening to your thoughts. Focus on the location of the man when he appears so I don't waste energy hiding.

"Nice to meet you Douglas I'm Tearu" with that Tearu sets out after the kid when he arrives at the entrance to the subway he realizes Fenikkusu is still on alert in the skies above, looking up he shouts, "Fenikkusu o oritekuru, sore wa daijōbuda." Fenikkusu soars down from on high and lands next to Tearu, Tearu realizes that Fenikkusu will be of little use in the tunnel so he returns him to his ball. He proceeds into the tunnel hoping against hope that his stealth and Vesper will keep him safe.

Vesper tilts her head at zon startled by this show of friendship overcoming her initial surprise and responds "Vaporian." (My name is Vesper) she then turns and follows on the heals of her master.

Douglas followed as long as he thought it was safe to do so, leaning on Truse. Gel opted to mimic Ambrule, as that seemed most logical. Douglas kept his eyes out, trying to duck back when it seemed most wise to do so.

Major: "Eh, he'll likely be fine for now. But at some point, we should find him. Would you like to find him first or start with your own business?"

Group: You go through the subway system, the two most recent additions unfortunately standing out the most as they duck when they shouldn't and keep in sight when they shouldn't. Zach has better luck, but not by much-it's unsure if he's been spotted by someone of note. Surprisingly enough, Douglas of all people keeps out of the way the best, spotting everyone and managing to keep from looking like he's following the street urchin.

You eventually get to an abandoned tunnel. Going in, there are four men waiting for the boy.
"So...Jules, who're your friends, eh?"
Aw damn.
Douglas, you have not been spotted yet and have a surprise round, as the new guys at least have pokemon drop down behind them-gravelers if you scan them. Zach...1 you've been spotted and have a surprise round, 2 you have a graveler trained on you.(1d2)[1]

(Zachariah starts at Q7, Ambrule to his right)
Zachariah thinks quickly. Guys, try to not kill them. At worst, leave one alive. He tosses Era's ball to his side, letting the Psychic type out. "Ambrule, Flame Burst!" He points out the man at N1. She floats to the urchin's right and uses Flame Burst.

( Tearu is at C-8, Vesper is at B-8, If I'm placing my own graveler it's at D-9)
Tearu realizes that his cover is blown at the same time as a graveler appears behind him and to his right. Swinging around to the left of the crate he had been trying to hide behind Tearu advances toward the next crate then slides to the left of it. "Vesper Sono pokemon no anata no kyori wa, shiyō mizu no jū o eru." Then he uses his Pokedex on the new pokemon.

Okay lets try this again... Going to just post the meat of what I'm doing and then edit it for flare later. Here goes something that will post... hopefully

John muters under his breath Stupid head for being so big... couldn't be a normal size.... Then he acts quickly realizing that there is a graveler behind him and his cover has been blown .He then gets up from behind cover and grabs Houndoom's pokeball and throws it so that Houndoom comes out on K5. (John is behind the crate at J5). Houndoom attack the graveler and use bite he says while he concentrates on the crate lifts it into the air and then throws it at the goon at J1.

"Hrm."

Douglas ducked behind the wall - to great benifit as hostilities began. Zon took a step forward as Douglas raised one hand. No.

And Truse agreed.

With that nod, the machoke dashed forward while Douglas kept himself back, delivering a vicious kick at the graveler nearest the youth. His real goal, however, was to cover the youth - that took precedence.

(Sorry about the delay, just been having trouble figuring out how to do this from a phone. Anyway, let's do this!)
The trainers are surprised as a litwick and machoke burst from the shadows, blasting one human pretty badly and nearly dropping a graveler as they scurry to arm themselves fully. One graveler goes to grab Tearu, barely missing as it gets blasted with water, while the other launches itself over towards the trainers of the new threats. The third slams the ground, causing rocks to jut up across the field (treat as rough terrain), and rolls away from the machoke.

Initiative order:
Your trainers
Enemy trainers
your mon
Their mon

Map positions will be updated tonight.

Zachariah calmly weaves around the rocks. Annoying to get around, but not a real hindrance for what he needs. He dives behind a crate and fires a wall of flame at one of the men caught in the earlier blast.

Some how me and my hounddoom got switched. I'm suppose to be on J5. then the crate that is it front of me is being thrown at the goon on J1 via telekinesis.
Other than that I don't think so.

Following up on his previous action, Truse delivers a chop at that same graveler. Douglas remains put where he is.

Tearu moves between the closets between the nearest goon and the rest of the group then attempts to sweep his legs out from under him. "Vesper Koko ni kuru to onaji graveler ni mizudeppō o shiyō shi" Tearu vaguely waves to his right.

Think with a line through it-down.

The crate hits one of the middle goons, as the far left gets a slam to the chest, and the far right one is engulfed with flames for a second time, collapsing and the smell of charred flesh permeating the room. The goons remaining pull out a blade, a chain, and a pair of brass knuckles.
"Take 'em!

Meanwhile, Truse punts one of the graveler through a wall. It's definitely unconscious.

Era, les tues, s'il te plaît. Era smiles and ducks past several rocks blocking her path.
PERSONNE NE BLESSERA PAPA!" Hm, seems hatched Pokémon get very loyal to their owner. Era crackles with electricity, and a bolt arcs from her towards the man near Zachariah. Not that I was even attacked yet, but I'm not telling her that.

Truse steadies himself, ensuring that he remaind moderately close to the Urchin. It seemed that no goons were approaching from his direction.

Douglas watched the battle, almost stepping forward for a moment as one of the goons fell before he halted. He had to wait to potentially stabalize people, lest he become in danger and essentially force Truse to split his attention two ways. Thus, he also remained put.

(Pokemon actions have already occured for this round, so just posting to note that I'm about)

sick em boy. Make sure he doesn't get away. John's says to the Houndoom with a sick smile on his face.
As quick as a flash Houndoom goes after the goon that his master just attacked. (the Goon on F1) He runs straight at the goon, jumps over the crate and clamps down hard right on the goons arm.
