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!}

[Shock Wave?

Man, right about now, this Grunt's wishing Raticate had some sort of ranged attack. Because that's just not fair that the zebra can burst into flames and shoot electricity and do all these other neat things, and Raticate can just sort of...bite. And punch. And make faces.

If he wasn't looking at community service forever after this battle, he'd probably go buy some TMs or something.]


Pursuit!

[Yeah, let's just make Raticate chase the zebra. He's totally got this.]

[...it's okay raticate, you're still pretty cool

when you're not being used for the forces of evil, that is

...nevertheless, even though Pursuit isn't as strong as it would be if Cynthia were switching out, but hahahaha Blitzle and defense hahahaha

Still, she's... not good at figuring that kind of thing out, so ---!]


The best defense is a good offense! Go at 'im with Spark!

[ELECTRIC COLLISION?

ELECTRIC COLLISION]

[Not an electric collision!]

Raticate, use-

[...never mind. Thanks to the electric collision, Raticate's done for.]

No way!

[Let's see. That's five down, so he's got one Pokemon left. And it's...a level 5 Ekans? Clearly he wasn't saving the best for last.]

Go! Wrap!

[Ekans slithers forward trying to constrict around Thunderhoof. So Ekans is trying to surround a Pokemon that's shown to set itself on fire and cause electric collisions. What could possibly go wrong with this strategy?]
ajustcaws: (no matter how far)

Aw, yeah! We're unstoppable! With the force of our ---

[...

well that is a pretty huge snake

but at the same time, she kind of has to wonder... should... she just give him this one...]


Uh... yeah, maybe just use Spark again...

[Well, there's no forward momentum, but at the same time, wrapping around something letting out electricity is... probably not going to end well...]

[It's a one hit KO!

Then again given the level difference, that probably isn't a huge surprise.]


You've got to be kidding me! No way you beat all of my Pokemon! No way!

[The fact that he now has six knocked out Pokemon obviously says different.]

There totally is a way --- and that's because Justice always prevails!

[She poses, looking slightly unsure of something...]

...I was expecting that last one to last a little longer, so I didn't come up with a good finisher line! But oh well, victory tune!

[oh god she's humming her own little theme song

i'm so sorry grunt, this is the person you lost to]

[You know, being a part of Team Rocket, he's pretty used to suffering humiliating losses. That being said, having someone hum a victory theme or theme song after he loses? That's a new one.

In fact, he's not even sure what to say there, so he's just going to take a seat and alternate between muttering and grumbling until he's taken to jail.]

All right, citizens! The day has been saved! I, Cynthia, have brought peace and justice to... this car of the train!

But hold your applause, as I must see if there are any other cars in need of my assistance! So, even though it pains me... goodbye, everyone!

[AND SO, SHE HEADS TO THE DOOR REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE REACTION TO THAT IS]
