[color=ed1c24]Montainum listens to what Serran has to say about Aruba's child, and thinks for a moment. A slow, wry smile makes it's way onto the great Terrakion's face.
"No...don't do anything. Not yet. I've had plans for that little Riolu from the start...plans that even you wouldn't know..."
Darkclaw stops once confronted by Spookton, and he smirks. "Ah. I see I truly have been sent for, then. Is it quite important?" Darkclaw takes Spookton's hand as he inquires.
Tatakumei keeps training against the bars of her cage down in the depths of the Revolutioneer base. Her paws are becoming quite sore, but she doesn't pay any mind. To her, it's a good sign. She hopes the day will come when training like this won't make her paws sore at all. Had the cage not been charmed by a Mismagius of higher ranks in the Revolutioneer team, then surely, her mother would've broken it easy...so, since she couldn't break it from the outside yet, Tatakumei had to work to be strong like her mother, and break them from the inside! It had to work![/color]
[color=a187be]Aruba cringes after being hit with the Bone Rush, but it would take a lot more than that to take down this determined soul, for better or for worse. When she shakes off her cringe, she quickly moves away from Carl, to where she's facing all of her current opponents on the field. She comes to a pause, however, when the figure in the hood suddenly appears before them. She clenches her teeth and fists as she listens to what he has to say.
"A human Revolutioneer? How odd..." Sephie murmurs, taking note of this strange figure, and the blunt statements he's made towards Aruba. When he turns to leave, Sephie turns back to Aruba. "So...a personal reason? What is it? And don't give me any kind of crap answer. I know you. Their way of thinking isn't your style...what happened?"
Aruba has been silent the whole time, head tilted down, but eyes analyzing the adversaries in front of her. She doesn't want to stay here with these people much longer...but she's got to do something to bring in help. Maybe her presence, and the familiar hooded boy's words were enough...but she might as well give it an extra push anyway.
"...It's none of your business anymore, Sephie. Besides...I don't have time to talk. I've got an objective here." Aruba lifts her head up to face Sephie. She starts moving her paws forward slowly, and immediately, Sephie forsees an attack coming her way.
"Euphie!" Sephie calls. The Sylveon rushes in front of the girl just as Aruba summons forth her first attack, a Dragon Pulse, which she aims at Carl instead to thrown the others off. Euphoria leaps at the Lucario while she's targeting someone else.
"Dragon type moves don't effect me, fool!" Euphoria grins, ready to use a Pixilated Take Down on the Lucario. Before she can, though, Aruba shifts gears, canceling out her ongoing Dragon Pulse, and holding out a paw in front of the charging Sylveon with a smirk.
"Flash Cannon."
Euphoria hardly has time to recoil in horror before she's hit point-blank with a powerful Flash Cannon. The Sylveon falls to the ground, nearly unconscious.
"Euphoria!" Sephie gasps. Such powerful defeats rarely happened to the Sylveon. She feels Ai-yu let go of her shoulder, floating just a bit above her, and ready to fight for Sephie if she has to.
"Ai-yu..." Sephie frowns. She knows the legendary can be powerful, but at the same time, she doesn't want to risk her partner getting hurt. However, Sephie doesn't get much time to think, as Aruba has spotted their separation, and is going to take advantage of it immediately. Aruba rushes at Sephie, causing the trainer to be startled, and frantic while trying to think of what she can do. The pokemon is way too fast.
"Dark Pulse!" Aruba shouts, but instead of attacking what it seems is her previous trainer, she puts her paws out before her and gives Sephie a hard shove backwards, out of the Dark Pulse's range. It spares Sephie from the attack...but not little Ai-yu.
"A-AH!" Ai-yu gives a cry of pain, and tries to recuperate her senses as quickly as possible. It's common knowledge that all Celebi are extremely quick, so she should be able to get away. Sadly, her shock lasts just a split second too long, and Aruba's grabbed her and is making an escape from the scene with her in mere seconds.
"Ai-yu!" Sephie straightens her hat quickly while she scrambles to her feet. She's about to call upon her other Pokemon, but before she can even let out the call, two of them have already arrived on the scene. One of them grabs her by the sleeve and flips her up onto their back without stopping once while in pursuit of Sephie's kidnapped partner Pokemon.
"Y-you knew that quick?" Sephie laughs lightly down at her beloved starter Pokemon. "Y-you don't have to carry me like this, you know. I'm not hurt."
"I know, but I'm faster. Plus, us wizards and witches have to stick together, right?" Pipley chuckles. "Ah, yes. I knew. You forget, that us Delphox can see the future in our flames...though, I forgot that as well, and by the time I checked, it was just a bit too late to stop the initial incident from occurring. Oh well, hopefully we can fix things like this, eh?"
Back at the scene, the other of Sephie's reinforcements, the ghost of a Meowstic, walks up to the barely-conscious Sylveon, and sighs.
"Oh Euphie...so eager to get into a fight that you forgot how to dodge..." Sachiko sighs as she lifts Euphoria up with her psychic power, and carries her back into the clearing, where the slightly eerie (and honestly more to Sachiko's liking) music is now being played.[/color]
[color=8dc73f]"I'd be honored to meet your friends, Aqua. It'd be nice to see who's taken care of you all this time." Rythian chuckles a bit at the little Eevee, though he starts to grow slightly wary of her when she suddenly takes to giggling to herself in front of him. Now what could that little Eevee be planning...?
Before Rythian can think on it too hard, he notices another Pokemon heading towards them. More than that, he notices the two Pokemon riding on this new one.
"HI THERE, RY!" Mystarii grins, waving. "CHECK OUT OUR TRUSTY NEW STEED!"
"He's not our steed! Geez, be a little grateful, would ya?! He brought us back! Show some respect!" Electricia huffs as Sha stops to let them down. Both Pokemon climb off, and walk up to Rythian and Aqua.
"Well, I believe that these are the two I've been talking to you about. These are my friends, Mystarii and Electricia." Rythian introduces the two pokemon to Aqua.
"You consider us your friends? Aw, Ry, you're so flattering sometimes!" Mystarii laughs.
"And who would this Eevee here be? Another friend?" Electricia tips her hat to Aqua.
"Yes. An old friend. I knew her when I was but a Zorua." Rythian nods. "Her name is Aqua."[/color]
