[IC] Pokemon: Kalos

"Whatever works." Ryan stayed crouched low to the ground and kept a look out for Team Flare grunts. They were pretty scarce for some reason.

[James Davy]

"Higitsune, come on out," Shiranui whispered, letting his Braixen back out, "Higitsune, we'd like to avoid the bad people in red. Can you detect them?"
"I certainly can," Higitsune answered. The Braixen's eyes started to glow as Higitsune scanned the Power Plant for Team Flare members, relaying their locations telepathically to the trainers.

[bowtiesrcool86]

"Well, since we know where they are now, it should be easy to avoid them." Liam said. "Lets go."

[James Davy]

Shiranui gave his Braixen a rewarding pet before returning him.

Liam walked by a door. He heard muffled sounds from inside. The map that Higitsune had projected into his mind showed no Flare members in the room. While it is extremely unlikely, it could have been a Flare member. "Do you guys think we should risk it? It could be a power plant worker, or a member of Team Flare."

[Flood]

"If it's a Team Flare member then we'll just take him down with ease." Ryan shrugged and pushed open the door.

[bowtiesrcool86]

There was a power plant worker bound and gagged. Liam rushed over and removed the gag. "Look out!" he blurted. Liam saw a Flare Grunt about to smack him with a lead pipe. A ball soared threw the air and smacked the Grunt in the side, sending him flying into the wall, The collision knocked him out. The ball uncurled into Sandshrew.
"Sandshrew? You followed us?" Liam asked.

[James Davy]

"Wouldn't be the first time a Pokémon followed and saved you," Shiranui remarked, "Thanks for saving Liam, Sandshrew."

[bowtiesrcool86]

"True, but it is still a bit of a surprise." Liam replied. He turned to Sandshrew. "Yeah, thanks for saving me." He said petting the Mouse Pokemon's head.

[Flood]

Ryan was quite startled by the Sandshrew from nowhere. "I think my heart just stopped for a second." Ryan let out a heavy breath and shook his head. He walked over to the worker and unbound him quickly. "So... you know why these idiots are here?"

[bowtiesrcool86]

The plant worker said that he didn't know what they are planning. But whatever it is, it can't be good.

[James Davy]

"If they're trying to hijack a power plant then whatever they're cooking up requires as much power as the entire region would consume," Shiranui thought out loud, "Nonetheless once we take the Plant back, those Team Rocket wannabes will have a Wailord-sized setback to their plans. They'll most likely have Poison or Dark-type Pokémon so stay on your guard. I'll have Higitsune update our mental maps periodically as these guys will move around or try to ambush us."

[Flood]

"Yeah, sure. Let's just try and find the ring leader." Ryan left the room and began searching for some sort of central generator.

[bowtiesrcool86]

"Well, lets go put an end to their plans." Liam said. The Sandshrew hopped up onto Liam's shoulder.

[James Davy]

Shiranui nodded and entered the next room. A grunt spotted him and sent out a Croagunk. Shiranui sent Higitsune out and a Psyshock from the Braixen knocked Croagunk out in one hit. Higitsune started glowing and grew to a height just shorter than Shiranui's before the glow subsided. Standing where a Braixen once stood was a Delphox and Shiranui mentally promised to give Higitsune a reward. "Delphox, the Fox Pokémon and the evolved form of Braixen. Using psychic power, it generates a fiery vortex of 5,400°F, incinerating foes swept into this whirl of flame." The grunt sent a Scraggy out and Shiranui stood silent while Higitsune pulled a fiery stick out and pointed it at Scraggy. The flame on the tip of the stick whooshed out into a vortex that left Scraggy knocked out from a critical hit.

"Alright, buddy, tell us everything you know about why you're doing this!" Shiranui commanded to the grunt.
"I'm not telling you a thing!" the grunt replied.
"Higitsune," Shiranui called.
"You got it, master," the Delphox acknowledged, peering into the grunt's mind. Sifting through tidbits of information irrelevant to the Power Plant operation, Higitsune got a look on the grunt's knowledge of the operation and found it to only be the basics. The Delphox relayed the information to Shiranui and his friends whilst updating their mental maps.

[bowtiesrcool86]

"Well, let's go find the ring leader of the farce." Liam said.

[Flood]

"Yes, I'd rather end this sooner than later. These people are all idiots." Ryan moved forward, making sure to avoid any grunts he sees or sees on his mental map.

[James Davy]

Shiranui returned Higitsune and followed the others, wondering what Team Flare was trying to achieve.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Eventually, Liam found the main control room. A bald man in a white coat and a girl with strange glasses were inside. They were identified as an Admin and Aliana respectively.
"What do you two think you are doing here?" Liam asked.
"You stupid kids wouldn't understand Team Flare's glorious plans." The Admin replied.
"You cannot hog all the power at this plant." Liam scolded.
"We're going to show you three some manners." They called out a Houndoom and Mightyena.

"Houndoom, the Dark Pokemon. Long ago, people imagined its eerie howls to be the call of the grim reaper. The flames it breathes when angry contain toxins. If they cause a burn, it will hurt forever.

Mightyena,Mightyena gives obvious signals when it is preparing to attack. It starts to growl deeply and then flattens its body. This Pokémon will bite savagely with its sharply pointed fangs. Mightyena travel and act as a pack in the wild. The memory of its life in the wild compels the Pokémon to obey only those Trainers that it recognizes to possess superior skill."

[Flood]

"Wow I can actually feel a headache forming from your stupid voices." Ryan rubbed his temples and called out Bancho. "Take out the Houndoom real quickly, I feel nauseous from all of the stupidity." Ryan commanded as he cracked his neck.

The Houndoom opened with a Nasty Plot as it thought of all the ways it could maim Bancho, while Bancho just got angry and rushed the Houndoom. He grabbed it in the middle of its plotting and used Circle Throw to throw it behind him. The Houndoom landed hard and growled in anger. Fire spewed from its mouth as it ran full speed towards Bancho and bit him on the arm. Bancho began Karate Chopping it to try and get it to let go but it just bit down harder. It let go and began running circles around Bancho, biting him in several places with its flaming fangs. Eventually it got too cocky and the Houndoom's fangs sparked as it went directly for Bancho's neck. Bancho roared in righteous fury and Body Slammed it into the ground with no mercy. A few more Arm Thrusts later and the Houndoom was knocked out and Bancho pounded his chest with joy in his victory.

"Return Bancho. You're injured." Benching was indeed heavily injured from the several bites and he returned to his Pokeball. "Can we hurry this process up by any chance? We have places to be and I would appreciate it if we didn't have to hurt anymore Pokemon."
