Log:

If it weren't for the heightened security while boarding, the passengers today might not have noticed any real difference between today's trip and any other trip taken by the Magnet Train. Sure the staff seem to be a little on edge, but there's about the same number of passengers as always, and they don't really seem all that concerned with the broadcasted threat. And about five, five and a half hours into the train ride, nothing really seems to have happened. Maybe the thieves were just full of hot air?

Or not since around this time the train starts slowing down before reaching a complete stop. If anybody takes a quick look outside, it'll show that the train's definitely not in Goldenrod yet. If it wasn't clear that something's wrong, a few moments after the train stops, there's a voice over the PA system that's definitely not the conductor's.

“Attention, passengers, this train is under our control now and if you don't want there to be any...accidents, you'll do as we say. In other words, stay seated if you know what's good for you.”

By now some of the NPC passengers are starting to look worried. Not all of them though. Maybe they know something the others don't?

“Now then. In a few minutes, some friends of ours are going to make their way through the cars. They'll be asking for a few things, and it's in your best interests to hand them over.”

With that, the train's speaker system clicks off.


{OOC: While the subthreads for the battles and fire are intended for the people already on the train, the subthread for evacuating the train can be tagged by anyone that would've flown out to help with the stranded train!}

[As a priority move, Swift hits Rich and Alice both. Unfortunately, it's also about as effective as slapping them with a wet paper towel, although Rich lets out a yowl and snarls at the Zubat. Alice is hurting a little more, but still on her feet. The Wing Attack connects with her, despite her effort to evade by jumping into the air, clipping her and sending her trajectory through the air.

Being a cat, she manages to flip in the air and catch herself by sinking her claws into the back of one of the seats of the train, now at eye level with the hovering Golbat.]

Alice, hit that unsightly vermin with a Thunderbolt. Rich, Power Gem the small one.

[Alice's lips curl back in a snarl that could be read as 'my pleasure', lowering her head as her gem starts to spark and sizzle with electricity. Rich's gem glows brightly, as a beam of light that glitters like gemstones aims straight for the Zubat.]

[Both Power Gem and Thunderbolt are successful and are more than enough to KO both Pokemon.]

This isn't over yet!

[She's got two Pokemon left and they're both...Golbats. Levels are 34 and 55.]

All right! Both of you! Air Cutter! Acrobatics!

[That's an Air Cutter from the level 34 one and an Acrobatics from the level 55 one.]
