[b]"Alakazam, Protect!"[/b] The hooded man cried out as attacks surged towards his two Pokemon. [b]"Steelix, tank it and then Earthquake!"[/b]

[b][COLOR=#31EAFE]"Are ya [i]fucking insane[/i]?!"[/COLOR][/b] Fiona shot her eyes wide open in horror at the order. Earthquake in the middle of a crowded city? Even with modern construction being rated to take the attack, it was still going to shatter windows and ruin vehicles at the most inopportune of moments. [b][COLOR=#31EAFE]"We're in th' middle of Wyndon, eejit! Yer gonna kill someone!"[/COLOR][/b] 

[b]"Sure hope it's you!"[/b] The man shot back as his Alakazam's Protect barrier rendered it safe but immobile for the moment, even as his Steelix took a Brick Break and an Aqua Tail, followed up by a Body Press from Fiona's Corviknight. Meanwhile, her Mega Salamence howled in fury as his Outrage was repelled by the Protect, sending Felon back into the air. However, the pain of the attacks given to the admin's Steelix seemed to render it blindingly furious, and it disregarded the orders it was given to charge forward, a black aura surging around it as it rammed into Raptor. The Corviknight squawked as she took yet another brutal attack, seemingly on her last legs as she touched down in a Roost. 

[b]"Shadow Rush? You little shit, I didn't order-"[/b] The Steelix's trainer started angrily before pausing, as if realizing something. [b]"Oh, fuck. Reverse Mode."[/b] He glanced around the streets, seeing the last of his grunts managing to get away from the immediate area. [b]"Right, bought enough time, screw this."[/b] He murmured quietly before raising his voice once more, recalling his Steelix as he moved closer to his snarling Alakazam. 

[b]"Some Gym Leaders you dipshits are! See my hands?"[/b] He held his arms out mockingly. [b]"That's right, no briefcase! Should've gone after one of my boys instead! Too late now, though! See ya, suckers!"[/b] A flick of his wrist, and a cylindrical object slid out of the man's jacket and into his hand. He pulled the pin on the smoke grenade and hurled it to the ground, surrounding himself and his Pokemon in thick smoke. Through the haze, the admin's voice could be heard one final time. [b]"Bird bitch, I'll be back for MY GOD DAMN PROPERTY soon enough. Alakazam, Teleport!"[/b]

[b][COLOR=#31EAFE]"Seriously, I don't know who tae shite ya are, ye fuckin' bampot!"[/COLOR][/b] Fiona yelled back as Felon swooped down and began flapping his wings to clear the smoke, revealing empty space where the man and his Alazakam used to be. The Flying leader scowled at the sight, pulling her goggles back up off her eyes. [b][COLOR=#31EAFE]"Dinnae what I was expectin', really."[/COLOR][/b] Fiona looked back at her fellow Gym Leaders, sticking her hands in her jacket pockets as she sighed, surveying the damage all around. 

[b][COLOR=#31EAFE]"Thanks fer th' backup. An' no, I got nary a damn clue what he was on about wit' me in particular. Last thing I ever stole from someone was..."[/COLOR][/b] She trailed off for a moment, murmuring to herself as some sort of clues seemed to piece together in her head. [b][COLOR=#31EAFE]"Since he was usin'...oh. Ohhhhhh."[/COLOR][/b] Fiona looked back up, now even more resigned. [b][COLOR=#31EAFE]"Alright, I think I got an inkling of an idea of what's going on here, but only on my end. Why those wankstains decided tae raid this place, I still couldn't tell ya. But otherwise, aw, fuck, this's probably gonna take a meeting wit' everyone an' the Chairman. Really didn't need actual bloody work today."[/COLOR][/b]

[b][COLOR=#31EAFE]"Fer th' record, though, I totally did rob his arse, an' he had it comin'."[/COLOR][/b] Fiona rallied, grinning proudly even as the owner of the lab emerged from it, a blank expression on her face and a cigarette in her hand as she strode over towards the group. 

[b]"Well."[/b] Professor Hawthorne blew out a puff of cigarette smoke, looking more tired than anything else. [b]"That could've gone worse. Good job not destroying the entire block, at least. The lot of you, go get your Pokemon to a Center. I'll go call the Chairman's office and report this in. Considering I was robbed, I'll have to be sitting in on this meeting of yours. Oh, and for the record? Even though you all lost my bloody research, you made the correct decision prioritizing that psychopath. Now run along."[/b]
