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.

[ Thank goodness Mogeta wears a bandanna, since Kisa will yank that over her Pikachu's mouth in time and try to tug Ritsu back with her free hand.

... Unfortunately, she ends up coughing almost immediately after. ]

[Ritsu, alas, gets a full blast in the face of the gas. He yells out in pain as it stings his eyes and gags as it goes into his mouth and nostrils. He stumbles, but despite the pain, he won't leave.]

K-Kisa!

[She turns around, and then grabs her with Mogeta, clutching them both close to his body. He plans on using his back as a shield for them, not willing to let them be taken or hurt.]

[ The Skuntank is looking pretty pleased with himself--until a Flamethrower hits him in the side, igniting the gas with an explosion that knocks him over.

Nero appears (did you think I was NPCing Rockets for fun), the hood of his jacket pressed against his mouth as a mask substitute. He turns to Ritsu and Kisa, while Red the Charmeleon and Buster the Bagon teaming up to take on the stunned bigger pokemon. ]


Come on! Move!

[ she's still coughing painfully into her cousin's shoulder, but she'll hold on and manage a choked response. It's okay, Ritsu, NERO IS PROBABLY RIGHT THAT MOVING IS A SWELL IDEA. ]

[Ritsu still gags a little, but he manages to hear the command. He doesn't bother replying - once he's sure Kisa and Mogeta are secure in his arms, he makes a run for it, hoping to get them away from the battles.]
