Tully winces as he sees Chance collapse, even as he hears Natasha beginning to fade. However, even then, he refuses to slow down until all threats are gone, dashing forward and slashing Emolga while throwing a handful of dirt into his eyes. Tully: Shift: Move Standard: Feint Attack on Emolga Swift: Dirty Fighting (Blind) on Emolga

Kingdra steps up and fires an icy ray at Emolga, hoping to freeze its wings and bring it down to the ground where Xander can crush it with Ground-type attacks.
"Cool down? We're just getting started!" Jace returns Nidoking to his Pokeball. He was having a difficult time juggling three Pokemon now, and may soon drop his role as commander to enter the fray himself. Say what she will though, Natasha was running out of resources.

Once again Whimsy's cotton grounds almost all the lightning power from Electivire's charge. That doesn't mean it does not hurt, as Whimsy cries in pain from death's door knocking on her. Which is why the assailant has ample amount of life force for her to drain. Whimsy opens her mouth and bites into Electivire, like a vampire, drinking into its life force, just like what she learnt from her servant, pet, benefactor Sana. Whimsy uses Giga Drain on Electivire.

As Chance crumples to the ground, Xander steps up in front of him, grabs a large, sharp stone from the ground and kicks it towards Emolga, only barely managing to miss the nimble little flier. He lets out a hideous growl at it, making clear that the miss did not make him any less of a threat. Xander:
Standard: Stone Edge on Emolga Swift: Intimidate on Emolga

Natasha darts to Jace, she digs her heels to move past the strain in her muscles. She throws her electrically charged fist at Jace, but the boy has more than enough strength to sidestep such a telegraphed attack. Natasha clicks her tongue. The plates from her back eject, releasing a torrent of steam which is more relieving to the woman it looks.
"Lets... finish this how it stared- You and me kid!"

Ruby tries to strike Natasha down as the madwoman leave her sight, but even Ruby cannot overcome Sana's timid body, as her strike from her wand goes through the air. The same goes for Joy, imitating Sana's action. Seeing Natasha gunning for Jace, Ruby's options are limited. However... Ruby still has another attack. She rises above the ground, the blue scorching sky was shadowed by the lunacy of the night, a big pink moon prominently hangs on the air menacingly. "Punishment - rend justice upon the destroyer of innocence! Moonblast!" Ruby decrees justice upon Natasha, the ball of lunacy, like a satellite, beams down a pink laser directly at Natasha. Her Pixie Beware XL knife resonates and glows, the moon hums a pink gust at Natasha, crumbling the lightning woman to the ground. The artificial moon dissipates, as the weather returns being bright again. Sana and Joy use Attack of Opportunity on Natasha.
Sana uses Moonblast on Natasha.
Sana uses Fairy Wind on Natasha. (Pixie Beware XL Swift action)

The danger isn't over yet, there is the trouble of frenzy Pokemon attacking without their trainer. Joy knows this from her trainer, Nurse Joy, so she claps her hand to encourage Lucario to attack! Joy uses Helping Hand on Lucario.

Lucario, unfazed by the Fairy-typed spectacle happening beside him, dashes along the lunar laser. He quickly slides between Electivire and Sana before delivering a brutal five-hit-combo. Jace uses Critical Moment with Scheme Twist to grant Lucario, Xander, and Whimsy a x3 multiplier on their Training Features.

The mud underneath Natasha stains with crimson. "Justice..." A weak chuckle leaks out. "I've always known there's no salvation for people like us. That's why I wanna grow ever stronger before that day comes. I can still fight even with these wounds!" She looks at Jace with hazy eyes. "That's right, we want a complete and total defeat by the ultimate opponent. You won't get in my way... with the champion." She breaks the boundaries of death's door with one last strike.
She does one final clash with Jace, hitting him with a shoulder charge. After the hit Natasha kneels from the encroaching fatigue, her heavy breathing become quiet whispers, and her bruised scowl towards the trainers shifts from a furled brow to her more soft features. Emolga darts to Tully before he can complete his strike. Tugging on his collar with all his tiny might to cease the battle, all the while screeching at Jace not to harm his trainer.

Jace quickly encased Natasha in a Barrier. If she had some sort of dead-man's switch or an electrically charged weapon waiting to go off, he didn't want to be on the receiving end. With a bit of telekinesis, Jace also retrieved the Pokeball that Zapdos came from. Such a Pokemon needed no master. Lucario nodded in approval as he moved from his side of the battlefield towards Jace. His trainer needed healing, and Breloom needed thawing.
But then he saw Emolga, who believed that Tully would deliver a fatal blow to Natasha. Jace knew better, but to see Emolga so concerned for the seemingly heartless Natasha touched him. "Stand down, Emolga. This fight is over." He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone, dialing Rime's number.
"Rime, I've got another that needs collecting. This one--" Suddenly Jace felt faint as stars danced at the edge of his vision. He didn't fall though, instead leaning heavily on the barrier between him and Natasha. Despite still having two more Pokemon at his disposal, Jace himself was pushed to his limits there. "You might want to come yourself for this one. It's Natasha." Now he put his back against the barrier and slid down to the ground, giving his numb legs a rest. "And maybe you can answer some questions about these tapes."

With a disgruntled voice she replies, "You know I'm not your disposal girl." Rime responds with the enthusiasm of someone who just woke out of bed. "Instead of rounding up criminals you should focus more on challenging gym-" Uttering Natasha's name sends Rime on her feet. "Natasha!? Wha- How?"
A single and subtle click transcends the barrier to reignite the trainer's tension. The droning sound of an electrical device charges up, it activates and Natasha involuntarily jerks back, landing on the ground, her blonde hair spills around her body. The sound happens again and her chest raises. The defibrillator readies for a third time and Natasha awakens reaching for air.
She tries to sit up, but the strain on her body refuses to obey. Ughhhhh. She says, with what little comprehension she has.

Though he wasn't coherent enough to hear the click, he definitely hear Natasha stir. Jumping up with a start, Jace scrambled away from the Barrier, which simultaneously allowed Lucario to heal him. "I don't know how, I just know that she attacked us. She took out the last two gyms as a warmup." Feeling significantly better thanks to the Heal Pulse, Jace stretched his free arm while his other was occupied with the phone.
"I don't trust that she doesn't have any more tricks up her sleeve, so I'd appreciate it if you hurried."

--------A few hours later--------
Rime arrives to the scene to see the trainers still on edge from their battle. She looks at the prisoner with disapproval muttered under her breath. Natasha diverts her eyes and resumes looking at the sky. "I'm not sure how much you heard, but that belonged to Dr. Anastasia Loengramm sixteen years ago." Rime explains the history of the tape recorder as she retrieves Natasha's peaked cap, plates, and jacket.
"As a pokemon professor and field surgeon, her goal was to create soldiers who could use the power of an elementalist. The war offshores proved that such a power in unlimited supply was needed to defend our borders from threats. There were many test subjects, but all failed except for one little girl- her daughter. These kinds of test don't go smoothly, who knows what kind of hell she was put through... All that data and research is now lost.
The lab? In flames. The child? Along with the director surgeon and all the assistants, reportedly died in an electrical fire."
She tosses the hat on top of Jace's barrier, ready to fall onto Natasha at a moment's notice. "Hmpf, the person she was in an arms race with was Professor Spruce- at least he had sixteen more years to perfect his research. Isn't that right, Jace?"

"Right, good thing," Jace muttered vacantly. Was this really a good thing? Maybe the world wasn't ready to be super powered. "We should keep moving. The champion needs to know about this. About everything."

Rime drapes Natasha's arm over her shoulders. Although Natasha is a full foot taller and certainly heavier, Rime makes no complaints helping her back to the city. Natasha is handed the tape from Jace, but the actual player is kept in his possession. "You wannabe bastard! I'll-" Natasha snaps at Jace, but is yanked to the side mid comment.
"Hahaha! I think this is a proper punishment for you dearie. Maybe ask him again when he's in a good mood and your temper is settled." Natasha pauses before giving up the fight in her eyes. The tape digs into her chest as she clutches it in frustration. Rime winks and they set off for Santa Ou...
"Though it wasn't official, those two badges will count as your entrance to Victory Road. Wishing you all the best!"
