I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.

Who: Everybody on the Magnet Train + Anyone who wants to help evacuate said train!
Where: The Magnet Train!
When: April 26th!
Summary: Train robberies, Pokemon battles, and electrical fires!
Rating: If it goes higher than PG, I'll edit!
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!}

[Shaun hopes that this is the guy's last pokemon, because if it's not he might have to use Susie to finish the battle. Bella takes the Hyper Fang, wobbling a little in the air.]

Bella, while it's in close, use Zen Headbutt again!

[Zen Headbutt connects and Raticate's...hanging on by a thread. What to do, what to do?]

Raticate! Use...

[He's not even really sure what to use here. This kid's almost taken out his last Pokemon. This wasn't supposed to happen!]

Quick Attack!

[There. That should hit first. Of course, if Bella hits after it, there's nothing he can really do about it.]

[Quick Attack does hit, but it's about as effective as a flick on the nose. What's worse is that Shaun caught the Rocket faltering, and now he's pretty sure that he's got him on the ropes.]

Bella, finish this! Psybeam!

[And that's it for Raticate.]

No way! That was my last Pokemon!

[The Rocket throws his arms up in frustration, not sure what to do next. He could try and take the kid out, but that runs the risk of getting blasted by Munna, and ugh, why did he even let his friends talk him into attacking the train anyway?]

All right! You win this round kid!

[He's just going to sit back down in his chair and glare. Yeah, that'll show him.]

But I've got friends on this train and I'm sure they'll be more than happy to teach you a lesson!

[Unfortunately, his friends are all too busy losing at Pokemon battles to teach anyone a lesson, so there's nothing to worry about there! He'll just sit there grumbling until he's eventually carted off by the police.]
