Pointing gently to the scars and burns on the small leathery pokemon's hide, Ryan then moved his fingers to pointing at his eyes before doing a circular motion above his head. As oddly complex as this might seem, the large bird Leveyr seemed to understand immediately. It lept from the ground to begin a spiraling circle out from where they stood. Not long passed before Leveyr began a tight circle around a point not far away. "Let's see what he found" Chuey muttered, not taking her eyes off of the large crimson bird as she began walking toward the circled area. The group soon came to an area with large rocks jutting out of the earth, various railways set up nearby. A lone young man in a familiar outlandishly red suit stood bored in between a couple of boulders, a houndour dozing on top of one of the rocks. Chuey's stride was quick and deliberate. Reaching the man she grabbed his tie, choking him slightly as she yanked him closer. "You" She growled a in his face, the canine on the rock lifting its head to growl back. "Are you responsible for hurting this gible" She demanded, even Fyr lifting his head to hear the situation a little better. The Flareon laid its head back down after a hand reached into its warm tuft of hair to scratch at its scalp. "And that slugma?"
As the woman with the green streak berated and screamed at the man, all the while cradling the little shark in her arms, the vagrant behind her simply chuckled. He recognized this poor sap, this man's ears have taken so much abuse already, it's quite possible he couldn't hear her anyway. For once Ryan considered that a gift, the woman's language was more than simply loud. She was vulgar and insulting, several times even making Ryan blush before he stepped in, leaning against the rock beside her and informing her that the man couldn't hear a word of it. "Ooh you're the lovely little punk I hear tossed him off a cliff when he shot past you after you threatened to put a hole in his skull? Well here's some more news for ya," She pulled him closer, much to his dismay as he was pushed away by the vagrants long-fingered hand. The vagrant looked into the woman's eyes as he explained where he had actually met the man before, and his very empty threat. "You threatened to shoot kids" she snarled, glaring through the man's red-tinted shades as she slapped her side, the large serpent coiling up her body to reach across her shoulders. "Do you know what I do to men that think they've got a pair and talk smack?" the Flare grunt shrank back further as Chuey yanked him closer, holding him up by his collar alone. "I neuter em like a common house pet." Chuey hissed low, relishing in the Flare peon's paling further. "Done it before and I'll gladly do it again" The grunt let out a whimper when he saw the harsh sunlight glinting off of the pokemon's cleaver-like bladed tail. The man, cowering, mumbled something as a card slipped from his jacket. Ryan's hawk picking it up and passing it to the large vagrant. Ryan chuckled, commenting that it was likely all she would get out of the man.
Her bone white fingers finally accepted blood flow again when Chuey dropped the man in front of her. Staggering to his feet, the man stumbled along the path slightly as he began his run to Lumiose City. The horned black canine sitting on the rock simply looked down at the group with its head cocked gently to the side. Though the creature hopped down off the large stone seat as the green haired woman's attention turned to him. "Coward even left his pokemon." She crouched in front of the canine, who rolled over onto its back, presenting its throat, which Chuey scratched, smiling. "You wanna come with us I take it?" The pokemon's stubby tail wiggled as it stood to touch its nose to Chuey's chin, staying low to the ground. She ruffled its short fur with a grin. "Alright then! It gets a bit rough sometimes, but I'm sure you've seen that by now. Be sure to apologize to that gible too." The houndour immediately sniffed and found the squat lizard hiding behind Chuey's leg, carefully walking over and sniffing a still-healing wound before gently licking it.
The strange key card the man dropped was labeled 'Power Plant; Kalos, Simon winston', prompting Ryan to look further eastward toward the large solar power plant. Looking around for another couple minutes finally revealed a young lady banging on the door of an entrance tunnel. The few pokemon she had with her were all sitting around the area, watching as she pounded on the door and screamed for someone to let her in. However she became considerably quieter when a grumble from the lioness was louder than her insistent bashing. "Mr Cabberin!" She was slightly startled, looking from the large man, down his arm to his hand and back up Chuey's to the viper woman's confused face. "Team Flare has taken over the power plant!" She stepped away from the door, toward the large man. "There's a blackout all over Lumiose City" letting go, Chuey marched forward, stepping around the lass in order to swipe the card. A loud buzzer sounded before the door slid eagerly open. "If it's okay with you, I'll let you handle this okay? I'll keep watch!"
Upon entering the small underground area, the majority of the pokemon with Chuey returned to their balls on their own, feeling claustrophobic, only the large serpent remaining outside of his ball, the gible and houndour staying by Chuey's side as well. The black and red canine pushed past Ryan's leg, brushing him slightly as he stood immediately next to Chuey's, nose tilted up slightly. As Annwn raised his stick, Ryan's hand wrapped around his wrist, pulling it back down. The hall dead ended at a large steel door, to which Ryan sighed, it possessed a key pad rather than a card slot. "Don't suppose you have any way through?" He asked, turned back to look at Chuey with the swarm of fire- aspect pokemon behind her. Her instant reply was to berate him about having a huge group of fire pokemon, why not simply melt the door? "Because the heat needed to melt this door would also be in the air, around us." He snapped back. "Don't know about you but I'd rather not be incinerated" he turned back to the keypad, investigating it's wiring.
"I could just bombard the door with Bonnie and Clyde. Or have Gambino bash through it. Honestly any of those work fine with me, just choose one." she shifted her weight to one leg, a hand on her hip while the other tossed a pokeball rhythmically. "I'm used to getting shit done by myself anyways." The houndour at her feet let out a low bark and took a few steps towards the door, looking back at Chuey questioningly. Chuey just sighs and mutters something to herself before lightly grabbing Ryan by his shoulder and moving him back. "I suggest everyone make room then. C'mon, Clyde, let's show em how a break-in's done." she lets the dodrio out of his ball, the pokemon letting out a few cries of surprise at being in such an enclosed area. "Alright, big guy. Can ya make that epic tri-beam or whatever happen? On this door." she points at the metal rectangle, the large bird pecking at it experimentally with its three long beaks before cawing back to its trainer. Chuey nodded and ushered the large group behind her backwards several feet. "Everyone ready to fight? Cause this'll be loud." Chuey looked back at Ryan and the other pokemon, curiously watching the tri-headed bird bickering, probably over which head would use which element to attack the door with. Upon seeing Ryan's brows furrow, she held a hand up. "Chill. It consists of fire, ice, and electricity, meaning that it'll heat the metal, quick freeze the door, and ensure everything goes well with the electricity. If it needs an extra push, we'll just use a triple drill peck. Busting down bank vaults is harder than this, I assure you." she turned back to her pokemon on her heel. "Alright then, Clyde! Letter rip!"
Upon the door almost exploding forwards from its hinges and into the next room, Clyde checked the doorway, cawing quietly when things were clear. Chuey sauntered past Ryan with a triumphant look on her face, patting the large bird's middle neck before hopping onto his back. "May as well.." she mumbled as she urged the pokemon forward sharply, the three heads letting out loud cries as it rushed into the large open room, a few Team Flare grunts guarding multiple walkways above another large open space beneath them with walls of electricity flowing through it. "Ryan, take the guy on the right walkway" She ordered, pointing to the men as she did so. "I got the ones on the left and at the back! Get to the center" They began running around, many flashes of red and yellow light creating an interesting shadow show. "we'll hold the rest of these losers off" she growled, slapping her bag and causing and explosion of red light, her many avian pokemon cawing at the various men and women around the chamber. Before she could charge ahead, Ryan interrupted by shouting for a bombardment and pointing to three locations around the room. The resulting volleys caused massive explosions, each launching a man or woman several lengths away from where they'd stood.
A loud shout stopped the battle, every person in their silky red suits turning to the upper balcony. At a door far above the main generator stood two women. The shorter one had tight cut orange hair, her dress seemed to frill out at the base and ended up looking almost like an umbrella with how she lent over the bars to look down at him. The other woman had dark violet hair and an outfit somewhere between a sprinter and a football player, decorated in red and black and sporting the curved flame like F of 'Team Flare'. Both women wore strange metallic gadgets over their eyes, but Ryan recognized them all the same. "Fancy seeing you here Ryan." The woman bent over the bars called down. "We all thought you were still in jail. When did you get out" He refused to dignify Aliana's question with an answer. "As you can see we seem to have a stand off here" The other woman meanwhile seemed to be counting everyone slumped against a wall or pressed onto a walkway with burns covering their bodies, before leaning down to whisper to her associate. "You've seriously wounded sixteen of us" She announced, many of the people rolling in pain in response. "I'll make you a deal. You let us leave, and we'll never bother you again" The offer was tempting, the people did need serious help. "Besides, We have Mable, what do we need you for?" His fist clenched at the name, long fingers digging into the skin of his hand. Drops of blood tumbled from beneath his knuckles, sizzling and bubbling against the metal walkway they fell upon.
"Down" He growled, each of the pokemon that had chosen to follow him stepping back and lowering themselves slightly. All except Fyr, who while sniffing a beam nearby was sparked on the wet nose. In response the little canine unleashed a short belch of flame that heated the metal enough that small ripples from it flowing down could be seen afterward. The few people in suits who were able to move, picked up their comrades and heaved them onto the back of one of many donkey-sized wolves. The woman with the violet hair, one of the last few to leave, skipped along happily and kissed the large vagrant on the cheek as she passed. Suppressing any anger, Chuey approached the man in the trench coat. She looked up at him expectantly for a moment before uttering a short but in no means sharp sentence. "So, Prison." He hung his head, collecting Fyr up to prevent the little ball from making a fourth blast at something that sparked him. "Can I ask what for?" She didn't seem aggravated, perhaps she wouldn't be terrified when he answered. Ryan Cabberin had killed a man, he was not sorry for it, and given the same situation he would do it again. "Been there before. Only I didn't go to jail - wasn't ever caught, person killed never missed. If ya don't wanna spill on it, I won't push." He couldn't tell if she was being honest or jesting. In any case he explained very quickly, asking if she remembered a school shooting several years prior. "yeah." She nodded slowly. "Thought that the teach had some guts in'im" She smiled sweetly up at him as her hand clasped his, leading him slowly out of the chamber. "I can see it though - I'm sorry that jackass attacked your students and you got in trouble for it." He breathed a sigh of relief, the pup in his arms barking in alarm at having one hand less support as he pulled himself up more on Ryan's arm. "Frankly, he got what he deserved and you didn't"
