The Pokémon attacking each other was still very clear in her mind even after the thugs decided to abandon ship and run off. Iris wanted to follow them and figure out where they came from. She wanted to know just what the hell they did to those Pokémon, but alas, she had her town and her friends to take into account. She needed to make sure the people of Postwick were safe and everyone who had been in her gym didn't sustain any injuries in their panic. Then there was checking the town to see what sort of damage they did...

Bastards... Absolute bastards.

Iris was silently fuming as Astrid and Sebastian were speaking. They both raised good questions though; who were those people and what were those creatures by their sides?

Still, she let out a sigh.

[color=d9837c]"I can't imagine they came to kidnap me or take anything important to this town, so perhaps they came to send a message that trouble was brewing."[/color] She answered Sebastien. If they were able to kidnap Ryker, of all people, why would they try to take the first gym leader instead of the second strongest? [color=d9837c]"And as much as I hate to admit it, they succeeded."[/color]

It still left a lot of questions that begged for answers, such as the creatures. Answers that she hoped they would get soon.

[color=d9837c]"I'd like to thank all of you, truly. Without you being here to help fend of those... things, I'd hate to imagine what might have happened to my Pokémon and my gym."[/color]

Most of the Pokemon she took in were babies with only a select few being retired from battling. Those monsters, as strong as they were, would have torn her happy little home apart.
