Operation: Express Car; [train plot log]

Who: Everyone who wants to participate!
Where: Goldenrod City, the Magnet Train, Saffron City.
When: November 23rd, 11AM-5PM
Summary: Heist on the Magnet Train!
Rating: Might go up to PG-13, possibly R if exceptional violence of swearing occurs.
Log:

They've spent the last few days preparing. He wasn't sure at first, how this was going to turn out, but the Team is confident. They are confident and now he, Archer, is also confident. He has no reason to expect failure; he tells himself, even if they fail, this will cement them back in the public eye. A threat again. It makes his collar hot to think.

He reviews the plans again, Petrel's notes and schematics, engineering details. Phase 2 will be the most delicate, but he's confident in the abilities of the recruits. The aliens, the outsiders, are strange, but useful. They have skills no other Grunt would possess. Archer recognizes he has been given a tool, and only a fool would fail to use it.

At 9:30AM on November 23rd, Archer sends a message through the Rocket Network. It is short, and simple, and jubilant.

Operation: Express Car START


-----------------------------------------------


It's a nice day out, considering. Cold, yes, but the kind of cold that buries itself deep in the lungs and blows the mind into crisp clarity. Cheeks are red, movements brisk to retain heat, and around Goldenrod's white-dusted Magnet Train station, the energy is thick enough to taste. People in their thick winter coats press together, some alone, some with families and friends, most with their trusted pokémon. The larger creatures are returned to their balls, tragically fated to miss the voyage, while smaller breeds are held in their trainers' arms or scurrying around their ankles.

The station attendants are supervising while customers pass through, touching the microchipped Rail Pass to the card readers and moving in slow, sluggish trails through the gates. There is no shoving; the atmosphere seems too cheery for it, excitement manifesting in the form of loud, vigorous conversation. The train itself is gloriously slick, smooth and polished as a new bullet or a freshly-minted coin, humming with power. We ask our passengers to please mind their electric-types, reminds the stationmaster over the PA, as we seek to avoid any trouble or inconvenience during the ride.

Once you've passed the gate, find a seat and stow away your luggage. Relax, unwind; it's a long six hours ahead.

All these rules you speak of- I see no point in them. Is a battle; only point of battle is to be on winning side.

[He moves towards the now scratched Pokemon. Looking at it before speaking, not to Minnie, but both his pokémon.]

Hit it with your best and then we are done here.

[If it KOs it's a shame, if the emotion pokémon was still standing afterwards though you better believe he'll give it a go in recapturing it.- it's not as if its trainer can intercept the throw.

He turned his attention back to Minne, his eyes almost sympathetic before his words and smile voided the emotion.]


Tsarina, take this as an important life lesson; trust no one.

[He gives a knowing nod before continuing.]

Friends are only for fools. Trust me on this and this won't happen again~

[One Pokemon against two is always guaranteed to lose, and this is no exception. It falls over after the final blows, and Minnie cries out again, horrified at what's happening.]

No! I won't let you take her! She was given to me by my precious friend!

[She manages to take out Satin's Pokeball-]

Return!

[-and successfully manages to return her to the Pokeball. Which... sucks because at the moment, Satin was her strongest. Minnie rolls the teenager off of her, and fumbles, trying to figure out who to send out next. And then she looks up, and Ivan is... standing right over her.

Oh, Jiminy Cricket.]

N-No... Don't do this! Please don't take them!

[[I will ask this now before I forget- would you like a pokémon/s stolen, and would you like it returned in the 'Afterwards' post/at a later date?]]

You are so against sharing all of a sudden? I thought you wanted to be friends~

[He looms over her for a few more moments before squatting beside to her grab at her belt.]

Friends share their toys Tsarina~ ♥

))

No! Stop it!

[She tries to grab her belt back, lightly pushing at him, but she's weak as a kitten physically compared to him.]

Leave them alone!

[identity profile] meatysoviet.livejournal.com 2011-11-24 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[[Fair enough, I'll grab the Kirila, Octilery and the Medicham for now. He might give them back if they ever patch things up, or you may get them back some other way. We'll see how things pan out~]]

[His hold tightens on the belt, snatching it away as she pushed at him, grunting as a few of the pokéballs came loose with the pull up. His free hand moved to deal a swift backhanded slap to the women's cheek in retaliation to the defiance and to the prizes he just lost.]


Do not fight me woman- I promise you it will not be enjoyable experience.

I think this is very much case of 'better man wins' do you not think so? Now then, I think is time to take my prize and move on... Or do you want me to send you to Pokémon centre?

[identity profile] her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com 2011-11-24 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[another cry as she's stricken, and given his strength and her weakness, she falls back on the floor, a hard bruise already forming. Tears roll down her cheek as she tries to make another pitiful attempt to try and grab her belt back.]

P-Please! They're my friends! You can have my money and my items, just, please, don't take my friends away!

[identity profile] meatysoviet.livejournal.com 2011-11-24 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Today's friends are tomorrow's enemies. Are you really this dense?

[He keeps the belt away, using his foot this time to push the woman back down.]

Just learn woman and this whole experience will be all the better for you. Putting such feelings in these creatures...

Is sickening, is truly sickening.

[Oof, down she goes again. Now she can't stop sobbing, knowing that she really can't win, because he won't be reasoned with. She covers her face in her hands, crying as defeat sinks in.]

A-at least take good care of them... Please...

[identity profile] meatysoviet.livejournal.com 2011-11-24 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
[He's glad defeat is finally sinking in... But the care to the pokémon is still leaving him with a touch of annoyance. He doesn't get it himself- true, he's more fond of them than he was, but they are still very much a means to and end.]

Hnph. Your trust is very much in wrong places.

[Because of that he's not promising anything, he sees little point. instead he pulls his boot away from the sobbing woman and moved to make his way into the next car before the sound of her crying got to him with more than just mild irritation.]
