It worked, and Indigo soon found himself outside. Out of the frying pan, but into the fire, readying himself for a sure battle with the criminals.

[b]"Damn it!"[/b] Shouted the leader of the trio, who had held the door for the two others. [b]"They made it out!"[/b]

[b]"Don't worry, I got this!"[/b] Shouted back one of the other criminals. [b]"You ready Mr. Mime!?"[/b] Mr. Mime turned around to face the oncoming teenagers and raised a thumbs up signal. 

[b]"You idiot! I didn't mean we should battle them!"[/b] The leader barked back. 

But it was too late, the rambunctious thief laid his bag of loot down beside him and threw a Pokeball out of his pocket. [b]"Go, Zubat!"[/b]

Dan was wobbly getting up and his laboured breathing seemed like it was burning a hole in his lungs, but he refused to let it stop him from finding the theives

[color=ec008c]Maybe it was that blast from that Mr.Mime...[/color] he thought

"Let's...[i]*huff*[/i]...go."

[b]"I got the tired one!"[/b] Shouted the third thief, who had been relatively quiet up till that point. He dropped his bag beside him as well and threw a Pokeball.[b] "Go Raticate!"[/b]

The trainer was ready however, one of her hands reaching to her belt to pull off another one of her teammates to back their group up, biting the skin of her lip nervously as she exchanged a look with her squirtle.

The leader of the trio was becoming frustrated. He couldn't just leave behind his two partners to fight on their own, not with a third trainer that could possibly cause trouble, more importantly, not with two bags of loot on the ground. 

He set his attention to the third teenager (Margo), [b]"Hey, you! So what's it going to be!? How about we just let these knuckle heads battle it out. No need for us to get involved, right!?"[/b] Of course, this is what he wanted. Could he escape without a battle? The longer they stayed here, the more likely the police would show up.
