"If that is all you think of them as, you are making a grave mistake.". The mass of vines takes both strikes, though not without a few of the new vines withering off. It continues to surge with some forbidden vitality, and tears the health back from the lion, seeming much more composed for its attack. (47 Grass Special with Tinted Lens. Heals 36 from Mega Drain, and a tick each from Defy Death and Ingrain. Takes a tick from burn, and an injury.).
She adjusts her coat, loading a small sphere into a device on her wrist and fires it at Terra. "Let's see how well your Pokemon does... Alone.". The pellet shatters against the side of Terra's head, gasses and powders setting her vision to blurring, and then the world goes dark. The Tangrowth and Litleo too, fall into a slumber.
"Hmm... Aims off.". She considers her wrist. "One of you dolts fetch Maxie. I've no doubt she will bring out her entire roster before she surrenders.". "Yes ma'am!" The pair bolt, and she retreats further into the room.

"Its the truth. You're making this very annoying," Terra states in frustration at how long this plant is lasting against the blows from both her and her pokemon. The latest attack seemed to catch the trainer off guard, since Lilly hadn't shaken it off nearly as easy.
This comment about alone, had the girl turning her head. Until she felt a ball collide against the side of her head, Terra first felt spots come into her vision. Then the world started to fade until falling to the floor. Followed by the small lion from the billowing gas spreading out.

Creeper gives a snort and a rustle, eyes snapping open, and he drinks deep from his roots. The admin fires another capsule into it extinguishing the flames that were running rampant. "It never ceases to amaze how readily the body succumbs to internal factors. Would that my living bug had returned with more data on you all, but no matter. There are others.". She gleefully pontificated.

"Creeper Ancient Power the feline.". The plant tries, but the lion deftly avoids the swirling wave of geodes.

Terra remains unmoving on the floor, even as her pokemon rises to her paws. The rocks smashing into the floor near her, jumping to the side. A deep growl comes from her throat in a defensive manner. Charging forward she goes to sink her teeth within the plant once more, to return damage and defending her trainer. Lilly uses Fire Fang! AC - 7 vs 3 46 Fire Physical

Again the vines ignite, more of their staunch stalks withering and crumbling, then the monster latched onto the poor lion and punished it brutally. (An injury to Creeper, and 69 Grass Special w/Tinted Lens to Terra's Pokemon.)
"Block her view of it. We'll use it as leverage if we need to."

The lion goes down with a pained roar as its body falls to the floor finally brought down by the plant. Meanwhile the trainer fails to beat the slumber she's been forced into still. Unconscious and without a pokemon to defend her on the battlefield.

"Quiet at last.". The girl breathes a sigh of relief and fetches rope from one of the rear counters. "Would that the nets had held, or that you had just come quietly.". Creeper slides overtop the lion, crowding the doorway and obscuring the Pokemon with his mass.
Something sharp jabbed itself into her arm, rousing Terra long enough to realize she was bound, the sounds of pitched battle distorted and far away as her vision blurred. The object of her ire moved alongside a man she recognized from the beginning of her journey, and it all went dark.
Grogginess and a lack of focus Terra had never known were her slow tumble back into consciousness. She was on a bed, as far as she could tell, a soft rhythmic beeping grating on her from somewhere nearby.

The rousing injection had Terra's blurred vision taking in around her, the distorted sound of battle partially focusing her attention. Struggling against her bindings, she scowls harshly at the two figures she can make out. At least until the world once again left her. Finally there was a sound pulling her from the darkness. Scrunching her eyes at the annoying beep, she felt her head ache, the memory of the strike against her before she was put under. Annoyance was quickly replacing the confusion though. One eye fighting to slowly open, to attempt and make out her situation. Where was she? Why was everything so hard to focus right now?

Strapped prone to a bed, wires and tubes strapped against or pushing into her skin. A monitor beside her bedding seems to be what is making the noise, rising and falling with the beat of her heart. Maxie sits nearby with a clipboard in hand, observing a computer screen. Two other beds, both occupied sit not far from hers. It is hard to make out more details then that. Otherwise they are alone.
"Two days under sedation and your hypothalamus is still extremely active.". He sits back, and upright, folding his hands in his lap. "I was told you were extremely difficult, and still possess some of your former abilities. I'd extend my hand in invitation but I suspect you would bite it, if the reports are anything to go by. I will keep our discussion short and to the point."
Maxie stood, folding his hands behind his back and looking Terra over. "You, and the Pokemon you were brought in here with can be our allies, a resource in our experiments, or raw materials for the next generation of your kind. You may want to think on it before you give your answer. Get to know your roommates. Let the drugs leave your system."

The sensation of straps against her form, she let out a slow growl from her throat. Arms giving an experimental strain against them slowly. Muscles flexing as she tests the strength of them. The two beds have her a bit confused, though that didn't stop her from glaring a Tyranitar's worth of daggers at the man sitting at the computer.
With the words he spoke about her biting him, there was a slight smug smirk that pulled at her lips. Unfortunately for her that he was smart enough to know better. Her expression stayed firm without saying anything for the time being.
As he spoke about why she was her, Terra's hands clenched into fists. However she knew for the time being, she was at an incredible disadvantage like this. So instead, she kept herself from speaking. Meanwhile, her mind did begin to wonder now, in what, who these horrible people had captured and brought in.

"Good, you've learned enough to be silent when the situation merits it. We are already off on the better foot." Maxie adjusts his glasses. "Pleasant recovery." The soft click of retreating footfalls, and the man is gone.
"What a tool." Comes a feminine voice two beds over, oozing disgust with a side of apathy. Black painted fingernails made a V-shaped handsign where Terra could see them. "Hey new kid. Welcome to Processing. Name's Maven, flowery speaking kid between us is Ruin."
"Must you lay thine sophistries upon me? Fains ill to be introduced in woe to the new and hopeful." "I'm not talking shit dude, you're hard to understand." "Fie on you." "Go fie yourself. Anyway, we've both been in here a bit, he's still trying to sort out how we tick, so... the longer that lasts for you the more time you get."

These last words definitely ruffled Terra's anger at being in this situation. She continued to scowl at the man even as the girl watched Maxie walk away from her, until he left the room and her alone with whoever occupied the beds. A slow frustrated breath being exhaled, cracking her knuckles.
The new voice catches her attention, pulling her from her stewing. Terra sees the hand and listens to the introduction that the owner gives. Followed by a slight scrunching of her nose at the other, Ruin's, words. Maven wasn't wrong about hard to understand.
There's a pause before Terra clears her throat some "Terra." It was short and simple. "I'm not planning to be here long enough for them to figure that out," she states about ticking. Then attempting to get a better view of her 'neighbors' by turning her head some.

"Ruin can we get a little privacy maybe?". Maven has curly black waist length hair, and a phenomenal amount of metal piercing the skin of her face. Blue eyes with darkened lids, pale skin, and dark makeup. She has been fitted with some kind of helmet. The boy in the bed beside her wears nothing to his wait, and is covered by a blanket the remainder of the way. His teeth are either naturally or filed into wedges that interlock perfectly, and his torso is littered with tattoos of red. These seem to shift and change as the eye wanders them. Pictographs, written words, languages known and unknown, and runes. Over his bed looks to be some sort of camera. Ruin frowns at the girl.
"Asking me much and more after e'ery slight is always your way. Privacy she asks. What of mine own!". "I will look after you when the minute is right.". A derisive snort from the boy, and the room started to get colder. The beeping at Terra's side became an eerie sort of static, before all the lights in the room went out at once. Ruins eyes shone red in the blackness.
"So, reason we're in processing is they haven't processed us yet. If you have any tricks, nows the time to speak up. Ruin has killed all the electronics in this block, but he can't hold it for long. Been doing it periodically so they thing it's a power issue."

With the better view, Terra can't help but stare for a little bit, taking in the appearances between the two new people. They were very different compared to what she had seen thus far. From both humans and pokemon-now-humans.
With the change in temperature, there is a surprised look on the girl's face as the electronics seem to die out before plunged into the darkness. "Wow..." she mutters out catching a glimpse of the glowing in the blackness.
"That. Makes sense," Terra replies about the Processing. She was pretty impressed by what the boy was doing. "Tricks... Well, lets see..." Terra states in a thoughtful manner. She hadn't really been using much of her discovered abilities until she came down here, so she needed a second. "I can... 'see' things through the ground. And there's...Electricity doesn't hurt me, and I can change the ground some." Terra talks calmly.
"Are you two first captures? Or have you escaped before and got recaught?" she asks curiously.

"Alright... alright we can probably use that. Ruin's real handy but he's super uncomfortable bare like he is. He can kill electronics and pass through objects, but if it means more people see him he wants no part of it. I can move things with my mind, read thoughts, and talk without words. Between us maybe we can get out of here. Not really a lot of oomph between him and I, you know?" "What sense is there in having secrets when they spill from the lips of all who know them?! You have made me wroth!" "How much time?" "..." Ruin's unimpressed expression held until everything flickered back on, and the temperature rose in the room once more.
"We're originals from Block 3. There were four batches in the set that everything went wonky on. Guess they were seeing if they could stow more power from different combinations. Block 1 was the control group, like a hodgepodge of everything. Evolved, unevolved, random types, genders, body types and sizes. Block 2 was reserved for solo individuals to see if higher yields came from certain types. Block 3 was opposing types. Block 4 was multiples of the same type. The 'mistake' generation, you know? Block 1 tried to fit in, I guess. Rumors scoot around here about a bunch of them living with and as humans. Block 3 made for places we felt comfortable before, but they found us and hauled us back. Block 4 moved as a group and joined up with Magma. Guess they felt safest with structure and familiarity. They get a few provisions, and to be the jailors, but really we're all stuck."
Maven made a dismissive gesture. "All the same, we were accidents. Their collector whipped itself into reverse and blasted us with this raw energy they'd gotten by... pulling our kind apart. No idea what the end was to that, or why. Seems like that idea was abandoned in lieu of this one, either way. Block 3 was me, Ruin, and Thrash. We were thick as it gets for awhile. End up here and Thrash wasn't having it... Never could tell what he was thinking. Not sure what happened to him."

That was news to Terra, that the other two could also do things, things like she could. Muku knew how to kick and jump excellently, true. But this was different though. This was something that she hadn't seen humans do before asides from herself. However the spat between the two made her frown some as the lights came back to life. That wouldn't make good work on getting out of here.
Terra did her best to absorb all this information. Though it showed that with the many blocks and the details that Maven explained what had made each one unique. This was a lot for her to take in. So there was confusion on her face. Especially from what she had known after being taken in by Gold's team. As far as she had known, there had basically been two groups. Though eventually she had to shake her head to clear thoughts that were becoming too muddled, too clustered.
Maven can see Terra's expression as she takes in the words about Block 3. Its thoughtful, before giving a slight nod in response. "Didn't know my Block really or which it was supposed to be. Though I was taken from here. Asked if I wanted to stay with the ones that got me out of here, couldn't stand that thought. Ended up being sent out to find another group that didn't stay. Haven't really spent a lot of time with most of them. Except one, before we got split up." She doesn't give too much detail, since the machines and such are once again alive and humming. But some information for Maven and Ruin to have in return.

"If thou be the first of thy line, progeny of happenstance or fate, then the second birthed you. The fourth was ever things that crawl, scuttle, and fly. Short lives fraught with change, now given length and breadth they haven't known. Terra, if there will furnish me trappings to hide within, I would see us kindred spirits free."
"Dude, why are you pitching that now?"
"Believe you that they think we lie in bed filled with bliss, our every want fulfilled?"
"Okay fair. He says if you get him some clothes that would be really bro."
"...". Ruin considers the statement for a moment before nodding.

Terra's vision was mostly on Maven, figured it be best not to make the other too uncomfortable. She did listen to his words and would glance at him when he finished. "Yeah, I can get you clothes no problem." Her answer was short and confident. She can think more on the statement of which she belonged to later. When they weren't stuck here still.

"Full glad am I to hear it friend. I will rest for a time and give word when mine strength peaks.". His attention returns to the scanner over his chest with an intense rage and bitterness. "Would that I could gouge the eyes from all that look upon the findings of this machine, that it may be the last thing they ever see."
"We were all pretty private before we got swept up in this mess. Guess Ruin sat undiscovered in a mosaic in Galar for hundreds of years. Shipped here with a bunch of artifacts and legged it into the wilds. The lack of privacy is pretty grating, but you seem chill enough."
