Welcome to Gaia! ::

It took Damon a long moment to calm from the adrenaline of the cave-in, and by then three of the other Rockets had made their way over to the rock wall to check on the Elites. He didn't know why he was so relieved to hear secondhand that they were fine - he hardly knew either of them. Maye he was just relieved there had been no major injuries thus far. He didn't know, nor did he cared to dwell on it.

They had a mission to continue, and given the look on the face of the Agent behind him, they would still be fulfilling it. So with a quick pat on the head for Badru, he staggered back to his full height, briefly glancing over his shoulder. That could have been bad... But they were unharmed, and that was what mattered.

He was more than willing for this mission to be over with, and if that meant sucking it up and tromping further into the volcano led by the Agents, then so be it. It was better than standing around and waiting for something to happen. Besides, he doubted either of the Elites would be happy if they didn't continue onward. And he didn't fancy angering either one of them.

"On our own?" Len interjected to no one in particular as her glasses shined with a clear film of mucky dust. It was unbelievable! How could they possibly continue the mission on their own? Of course, the idea was incredibly far-fetched. To her, at least. She was never much of a leader and this outside act of volcanic ash and soot was pissing her off. She should have just stayed at the base and continued to file papers or plot of brother's demise. But not this, not this crap.

Max nosed her ear and she swatted him away. Sure, he was her first Pokemon but she wasn't in the mood to be comforted. The Pikachu sighed and closed his eyes, the dark ring markings on his face resembling empty sockets in the dusk. What to do, what to do?

The rumble caught both of the figures off guard and when the trampling stampede of fire Pokemon came gushing out towards her, she felt her heart yip with elation. Len literally wanted to shout, "Zomg!" but of course, it wouldn't be heard as the rumbling neared. She wouldn't mind getting run over, not at all. Fire Pokemon ftw?

Making sure to not touch anymore of the walls, or the rocks laying around, Faleen struggled to maintain balance when another tremor shook the ground below them.
She barely had time to regain her footing when another troubling sight caught her attention.
Fire pokemon... a lot of them, and they were all swarming this way.
This was not good.

When Nyx ordered her Mew-now-Umbreon into an attack Faleen called to her Umbreon as well
"Umbreon assist it! Dark Pulse!" she ordered her pokemon, hoping to widen the aria of attack to slow the stampede.

Umbreon darted forward to draw up next to Darwin, body tensing as he let loose his attack when Darwin did, shooting it toward the fire pokemon.

As the panicked fire types swarmed the passage, for a brief moment Damon lost track of what was going on. Badru bristled at any that came too close to his trainer, fur fluffed up even as a stray Growlithe bowled right into Damon's legs. Before he could even figure out what had happened, on of the Pokeball's on his belt had been knocked free and fell right on the terrified Pokemon's head. In a single flash of red light, the grunt had managed to acquire a new Pokemon without even having attempted to catch it.

He scooped the Pokeball up before it had a chance to be knocked out of the still swarming Pokemon, returning it to its place on his belt and beginning to fight his way through the crowd at the prompting of the Agent. He didn't need to be told twice, and Badru was quick to follow, dodging a Charmander here and using Quick Attack on a too-slow Cyndaquil there.

He did his best to clear a path for Damon, but even so it didn't seem like it was going to be so easy. He still needed to step over some of the smaller Pokemon, although it certainly wasn't easy. It seemed like every time he lifted a leg to take a step, a fire type was already where he was about to take a step.

It was madness.

It was difficult to avoid the walls now, with all the pokemon pushing and shoving into her, nearly knocking her into the wall.

"Umbreon!" she called to her dark pokemon, trying to see where he had gone.
The Pokemon had a much easier time of things then his master did though, she saw the Pokemon pouncing up, using the rushing Pokemon below to bounce on and keep above the rush.

Nikki was right, they had to move past this.
"Guys I recommend you hold on!"
"SHARPEDO!" she growled, ripping off another ball from her thigh, and throwing it into the air
"SURF!"

It was honestly up in the air at this point if Sharpdeo would be ready to listen to her command,
When the Large shark was summoned, dropping heavily on a few unfortunate fire types.
The shark looked highly offended at first! why the HELL was he summoned when there was no water! laying awkwardly in an uncomfortable ground, with pokemon rushing everywhere!
This just enraged him... untill he noticed the potential in his Master's orders.
Ohhhh this was going to be fun.
Sharpedo opened his mouth as wide as it would go, "SHAR!" and with a massive spray of water that fulled most of the gave, the water gushed down through the rows and rows and rows of fire types.

Faleen actually had to hold onto something now. the water gushing past her, running right into her and splashing up her chest and into her face.
it felt... rather nice, but it was really strong... and was unpleasant enough.

Holding her hands down in front of her, closing her eyes to the burning, but she looked up when Nikki addressed her.
"Before more of those Pokemon got caught up in this dead end and things got worse, I felt it was Ma'am."

Sharpedo, no longer amused with the situation flopped around where he lay, furiously gnashing his teeth "Shar Sharpedo! SHARPEDO!"

Her Umbreon trotted back up her to from farther down the cave, bringing light with him. soaking wet, like Faleen herself and probably most of the Rockets were.

"Oh shi-!" Nyx certainly wasn't able to hold on, as she became swept up in the sudden current and skid across the ground coming to a stop among the fainted fire types. There were quite a few more tears in her suit now, but at least the fire types were mostly taken care of...

Darwin ended up on top of the fainted Charmeleon and shook his face dry, and then let out a little yip at his trainer. "Wha-? Oh!" Nyx sat up and threw the pokeball at the unconscious pokemon, taking the time to see if the pokeball would catch or not to catch her breath for a second before she would stand up.

"I don't agree, but whatever... lets get going!" Nikki grumbled back at Faleen while picking herself up. She was dripping wet, which wasn't too bad considering the heat and would probably dry quickly here anyway. Still it was annoying.

However she then noticed her fainted Torkoal and sighed, recalling him to his Pokeball. But now she was without a light source. This was fixed by the release of her Dark Charizard, she looked around and growled lowly.

"Come on Yuushi." And with that, the blonde and her dragon headed down the tunnel once more.

The Charmeleon was easily captured. Nyx was now plus one fire type!
