"what th-?" The Peon managed to get out before he was knocked down by the attack. "Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" The peon shouted as he managed to get back to his feet. "Girl, you just made a big mistake." The Peon snarled as he started to run away as the rest of the peons bolted rather then go toe to toe with the intimidating Garchomp.

Ross weakly looked up at the face of his rescuer once the flurry of fists and feet stopped. He couldn't see that well because of the blood clouding his vision. His face was very bloodied and beaten and was swelling up even more then it was before. He grinned weakly. "Cipher Peons, They have no sense of humor. Make one joke about plotting to take down their organization and they get all mad." He laughed weakly as he wiped the blood away from his eyes after a moment and got a good look at his rescuer and he paused for a moment.

[i]Wow. She's pretty.[/i] He thought as he reached down and checked to make sure that both Ryhorn and Machoke were still alive and to his relief, aside from being hit by the respective attacks, they seemed to be okay. "C'mon guys...wake up." He muttered. His Machoke let out a groan of pain and his Ryhorn let out a low growl as it staggered to it's feet.

"Machoke...mind giving me a hand up?" He managed to gasp as he felt a sharp pain radiate around his ribs. The Shadow, fighting-type Pokemon let out a grunt as it helped Ross to his feet. Ross smiled at the pretty lady as he continued wiping the blood off his face which was no small feat considering how much there was. "Thanks for the help. "Like I said, those Cipher peons don't have much of a sense of humor. Good thing they didn't know Machoke here was a shadow Pokemon or they most likely would have stolen him away from me."

Ross continued to smile even as he rapidly began to get dizzy and collapsed against Machoke as he lost consciousness. Machoke gently put him over the left side of his shoulder and grabbed the Ryhorn which was still a bit unsteady on it's feet and put it over it's right shoulder. Machoke looked at Tinder as if to ask, 'Where do we go now?' To be honest, the Shadow Pokemon looked a bit lost without Ross to guide it.

[b]Entrance to Agate Village[/b]

Velis looked down at Croconaw and Quilava as they walked into Agate Village while keeping an eye out for Cipher trainers. They had parked the bike outside the village near a large boulder that would hopefully block it from the eyes of those who would steal it. "Okay guys." She said to the two Pokemon. "From what I've heard about this place, there's a trainer here by the name of Eagun Maybe he knows a bit more about Celebi. Let's see if we can find him." She looked around and saw the Pokemon center and looked at her two Pokemon.

"Best place to start would be the Pokemon Center." She said as she began to walk towards it.
