Log:

[It runs. The wind carries it, fog is its mantle, and the ground weeps dew at its passing. It has known only endless sleep for so long, and now, it has awakened to the scream of the grass and the clouds, knowing in its heart that the world's Order is not being kept. The Old One sleeps too, too deep, not watching, and then they all fell after it.

But then it heard whispers, up in its cold mountain hideaway where pure crystal water flows in trickling, shimmering rivulets. The water whispered to it, wake up wake up, I am hurt, and it did. Its brothers sleep still, their consciousness tickling at the back of its mind like a reassurance. It does not know what awaits, only that it must run, and seek, and destroy.]

Woo?

[And then Confuse Ray. There's a brief moment of stillness as Sweety's world swirls around her, and then she just starts fluttering aimlessly in circles. Upside down.]

Olly, do the smokey thing!

[The Koffing, at least, seems to speak Harlese, and begins spewing out a thick Smokescreen around itself and Harley as she continues running towards Hayate.]

No problem!

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[No. Bad Petrel. Pay attention to him.

He can see that he’s losing him, so he’ll switch gears to Petrel’s topic. Normally, he’d just keep talking, but he doesn’t want to annoy any more Executives.]

Oh, so you do have politicians?

[He wasn’t aware of that. Maybe there is some sort of government in Johto after all.]

Of course, brute force is only one tactic. Coercion and bribery can work just as well. And if they’re anything like the ones in my world, they’re ridiculoussssly easy to corrupt and manipulate! Of course, there’s another way to influence the political system. If I may ask a question, Executive? Has Team Rocket given any thought to placing one of their own undercover as a candidate?

Yes, under my direct command. [Well, that's not mentioning the fact that Mustang was there to oversee him, and then the Fuhrer showed up anyway, so it was more like Archer was babysitting the troops. Still. For a moment they literally only had him to respond to. It was wonderful. Until the array went off, but we're not discussing that!]

Ah, an alchemist is a scientist. They study the way things work and create arrays to alter things to their whims. For example, there's an alchemist who specializes in fire - he heats the air and ignites it with a snap, creating a controlled flame. [...That's how it works, right? Well anyway...] The two I was working with were capable of making anything exploding using the chemical composition of whatever it was he wanted to explode, as well as his array. The other created chimeras - fusions of two animals or animal-human hybrids - with his alchemy.

[...He has no idea how Tucker's alchemy works, so there's no reason to try to explain that!]

--ah?! Uuu... T-That's a problem... *Even if this is TEAM ROCKET!!1!1 with Harley in that smokescreen somewhere, there's no way Hayate can order Hina to let loose an attack into it. He'd never be able to live with himself if he managed to hit her with a full on flamethrower or the like.*

O-Okay, Hina! When that Koffing next emerges, give it a Flamethrower! Hattori! Keep ready with another Confuse Ray in case they toss out another Pokemon!

*With those orders pre-ordered, Hayate hunkers down on his ready to strike Arcanine's back, trying to keep an eye out for Harley when she emerges...*

haahaha Work makes my posts late as all Ffff-

[Oh hell, he can already see where the creature is heading, and it's not a place he wants it to. The Sycther does her best to hold the beast at bay, but she simply isn't strong enough- he makes a note to right that wrong when this is all over. His Munchlax also tries to get back into the fray, but his terrible speed stat leaves the baby Monster trailing behind the two creatures.]

Dipshit, make yourself useful- Stop running and use screech-- NOW.

[As for him, well- there was no way in hell he was outrunning this creature, and he wasn't just going to let it hit him...

He hunkered down, making himself a little more ready for impact- if worst came to worst he could try and roll sideways out of the way, but if this thing was going to try and hit him, he'd give it the same courtesy back.

He was going to do his damnedest to make the thing see stars, even if, somewhere deep down, he knew this was most likely the stupidest thing he's done since coming here.

Oh well, soviet pride and all that- there have be some sacrifices he supposes.]

[Proton's remark about the importance of Pokémon for the lives of humans effectively surprises Gorthan and leaves him wondering and reflecting on several things. Cruelty always comes with such profound contradictions... how easy is it to not be bothered by them? Gorthan's reply only comes after a small pause.]

If you are referring to the data I have collected from my fellow Agents, I would say that the amount is currently more than sufficient to begin experimentation. If you desire to contribute by volunteering a sample of your own, Executive, I would be honored to include you.

[He bows his head humbly again.]

[used_trick]

[The smart thing to do would be to stay within the smokescreen as long as possible, launching attacks from under its cover and wearing down Hayate's defenses through attrition before striking directly.]

[Which is why Harley charges out of the smoke at Hayate, jumping into a thoroughly over-dramatic spinning kick. She's followed shortly thereafter by a Mightyena, being ridden by a manic-looking Pansear.]
