The sun has finally gone down, as a heavy rain began to fall on the City. On the streets, people began to run for cover. Some try to cover their heads with whatever they had on them, other simply continued on as if nothing had changed. The rainy season in Altur had begun, and thus the lingering sense of flooding was on the minds of the less fortunate. The only source of light was the flickering of the streetlamps, as well as the stores that were still open. Running along the wet sidewalk was a woman and her small child. The two shared the same brown hair colour, but the girl sported a pair of braids while the mother simply let her hair flow. The mother held the girl's hand with one hand, and her umbrella in the other. In the girl's arm was a Pokemon, a Lillipup to be precise. The duo ran by a window shop, showcasing some niche T.V models. A couple of people were braving the rain to watch the event being played. In black-and-white was a boxing match, between a man and a Hitmonchan. Although the sound was muted, the intensity of the blows was enough for the window-shoppers. Click-clack, click-clack The heels of the woman pounded on the sidewalk, as passersby did the same, hoping to reach somewhere to dry off. As quickly as it began, the rain soon let up. People began to slow down once they realized it wasn't a downpour. The mother still held her umbrella, but slowed her pace. They soon turned away from the busy street into a smaller, quieter street. As soon as they passed the first alleyway, three men stepped forward, wearing black three-piece suits. Each sported a bowler hat, drenched from the rain. Two appeared rather skinny, while the third had been packing on a bit of weight. One of the skinny men approached them with a smile.
"Pardon me miss, but I was wonder if you help me out here." He said, with a bit of a leer as he looked at the girl's Pokemon. The mother, quick to realize the situation tried to walk away. Unfortunate the other skinny man got right in front of them, aiming a pistol at the pair. "My pal here wasnts asking... Now why don't we's sort this out over there." He said, motioning his head into the depths of the alleyway. As the group began to walk in, the man with the gun walked behind the mother and daughter. "
"Just a warnings for ya... If you scream..." He said, before moving the gun to the girl's head. "Its bang bang city for her, capis?" He said, before letting out a small laugh. The group had now disappeared into the darkness.

Rotech looked as the men with a look of disdain. He wasn't happy to see what had just happened in front of him. At the same time he could hear the loud thumping of his heart in his chest. He was nervous, but strangely excited. This was his first day out in costume. By his side floating in the air was Virgel or in his superhero name, Static. The two of them were about to stop their first crime. It was nerve racking for it could end so many different ways. He took a deep breath and zoomed in and turned on his night vision. He looked at the group, First things first, Calm down. The first step to saving someone is figure out the situation and act on it properly. 3 hostiles, 2 civilians, 1 civilian Pokemon sighted. One gun easily visible. All dressed similarly that means that their all used to working together. One clearly holding a weapon. Disable him first. Proceed to take down the rest.His heart was beating hard. He pulled down his goggles, over his eyes. Special colored lab goggles, hiding his identity. He pulled a confusion pester ball from his bag first. He placed the pester ball in front of Virgel's face, and crushed it releasing the toxins inside at him, " sorry Static." He looked as Virgel relaxed from the confusion taking a moment to gather his senses, We have to avoid friendly fire first.Throwing his scarf over his shoulder he was ready, pester ball gripped in one hand, and a attached to his other a Jamie Cho Rotech Series, Rotech Static Shock gauntlet. He walked across the street behind the group of evil villians, and pointed for Static to aim at the same assailant. The two of them struck at once, Virgel releasing a Wave of electricity aimed at the man with the gun, quickly followed up by Him throwing the confusion pester ball.He thought to himself as the attacks flew, With this, we'll see if I end up like Mega-kick ass, or like The Blue Hearacross.He proclaimed loudly, his heart thumping loudly in his chest, The palm of his hand pointed out at them with electricity crackling from the end of his Static Shock gauntlet, " Evildoers! I am the new protector of Emerald city Rotech! Stand down or prepare to be defeated!" Static (Virgel) Speed 10, Rotech Speed 5

Victor allowed the rain to soak him as he walked at a sedate pace through the street. The heavy rain fall only served to make him feel more alert. The smell of it calmed him into something of a zen state of mind. He did worry some though. What about the people who were less fortunate than him? How would they deal with the heavy downpour of the rainy season? A frown crossed his face, his forehead creasing a little. I hope they manage to find shelter. Then the rain lessened, and Victor felt a little better. The giant of a man was pulled out of his thoughts when he spotted three men approaching a woman and her child. His eyes narrowed. He tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and hoped that they weren't up to no good, despite being rather shady looking, but he seemed to be proven wrong when they pulled the pair into an alleyway. Victor's clear teal eyes became icy. A coldness that didn't come from the rain began to envelop him as he followed the men into the alleyway. These men had just taken an innocent woman and her child, for some sort of nefarious purpose, just like someone had taken his sister. I'm not about to let these scumbags get away with it, he seethed mentally. A burst of movement later and Victor was wearing a golden mask, and a golden choker. He continued walking. Another burst of movement and he was wearing a white suit with red, blue and white rose motifs stitched into it and a yellow tie with black diamonds on it. On top of that he wore a mostly white coat, with golden shoulder pads and a ring of green fluff. Yet another series of quick movements and he was wearing white trousers with a black stripe at the knees to go with that. With his bright get up, Zenith stood out in the darkness like the moon in the night sky. Then another costumed man came into the scene, and Zenith stopped in his tracks for a moment as he watched the man and his Pokemon attack the criminals. Zenith released his own Pokemon, the Dwebble, Magna. He badly wanted to simply attack the men and be done with it, but that wouldn't be right. He would give them a chance to surrender. He could still hamper their movement though. "Magna, use Spikes to box them in," he whispered. The Dwebble nodded, its beady eye seeming to narrow and a volley of spikes rained down upon the men. xxx x---x This is how the Spikes are placed. Just to make it clear, these only affect foes. xxx Zenith approached the men, muscles loose and adrenaline already pumping through his body, making him move faster . "Criminal scum! Let the woman and her child go. I don't know what you're planning, but give it up or I will also be forced to deal with you! My name is Zenith. Carve it into your minds because it is the name of the man that will end the rise of crime in this city." His cold glare was hidden behind the mask, but the authoritative tone of voice and lack of visible emotion still made for a powerful presence. Speed Zenith - 16 Magna - 10
Zenith uses Agility to start off with.

Some people, of course, are less worried about the rain than others. After all, when you have water powers, you're hardly going to wear a costume that can't get wet, are you? Loren bit her lip as she watched the three men steer their victims into the alley from another angle. She'd been at this for a couple of days now, but most of the muggings she'd foiled had been single thugs, and usually they weren't armed with more than a knife, apart from having Pokémon of their own. Usually having someone else show up at all was enough to scare them off. Now, she and Reggae were outnumbered, and that one guy had a gun... pointed, she could see, right at the little girl's head. Well, she couldn't let that stand. She was just about to race after them when... someone beat her to it. Apparently she wasn't the only one fed up with the lack of heroic attention in Alburna, if the guy dressed up like a Rotom - complete with an actual one - was any indication. She couldn't see what he was doing with that weird gauntlet from this position. She could, however, most definitely see the massive guy in the glowing getup at the other end of the alley. How big was he? Surely it was just standing out in the dark that made him seem taller... right? She slipped into the alley, curled hair and white cape billowing behind her. "Well, looks like we have a regular party. Did you boys ever pick the wrong alley to mug someone in." Her hips swayed as she stepped around "Rotech". Reggae followed along with her - a Totodile wasn't the most intimidating presence in the world, but what sharp teeth he had! "If I were you, I'd take their advice, or you'll have me to deal with, too. And no evil can escape the song of the Siren."Quietly, she added, "Reggae, if they get any bright ideas, go for the knees." The little Totodile grinned rather disturbingly and ran his tongue over his rather excessive compliment of teeth as he eyed the man with the gun. Siren's Speed: 10 Reggae's Speed: 5 Reggae's Leer: 13 vs AC 2. Cone 2, -1 Defense CS on hit.

Cora walked through the streets, a simple black umbrella over her head. The darkness was comforting, and while she would usually forgo any type of protection from the beautiful moonlight, a lady doesn't get her clothes wet. She wouldn't look like a soaked Rattata, at least, not if she could help it. Soaking wet is not a good look, much less a proper one. Lena floated next to Cora staying under the umbrella although she certainly didn't need it. Like every night, Cora had left the homeless shelter (or as she refers to it, temporary housing) to do a bit of research under the moon and possibly some weapon training. The rain certainly hampered her plans, but there's no point in wasting a good night. Besides, there was always something to do. As she thinks that, Cora notices the men. Her hand instinctively reaches for her rapier. How dare they! That girl is so young! As she's about to charge in, she notices the array of "heroes" already at the scene. How tacky. All of those jumpsuits simply make poor Cora sick. Why even bother to dress like a lady if women these days could walk around in something so...so...skimpy! The one in the white coat at least knew how to layer properly. Criticisms will have to wait, though, as the situation was dire. Cora takes a deep breath, burying the rage she was feeling to think clearly. Lena felt it too, and the Shuppet eagerly floated around Cora's head, picking up the residual negative energy the girl gave off. For now she would wait in the shadows and step in if needed. "Lena, darling. If you would be so kind, please go invisible for me. For now, they mustn't know we're here."As Lena faded from view, Cora called on her own ghostly abilities to conceal herself. While she couldn't become invisible as Lena could, she was able to become completely silent. She felt a cold chill envelope her body as she stood in the shadows. Her mind became empty of all thoughts other than her own primal emotions giving her energy and her heart eerily still. Cora's initiative is 6, Lena's initiative is 9.
Cora is binding Silent Assassin for 2 AP to gain the Dead Silent capability, and Lena is using Invisibility.

The man with the gun began to shake as he felt a current of electricity coursing through his body. His voice called out in a repeat-like fashion, before his other two friends looked to see what the commotion was. As soon as the other two turned, they saw a purple-like ball hit him at the back of the head. The man with the gun began to step all over the place, trying to make sense of what just happened. Seeing her chance, the young girl quickly ran to her mother. The other skinny man was prepared to intercept them, before he saw that it was raining again... no wait, that wasn't water, it was Spikes! The skinny man reeled back as he found him and his crew surrounded on all ends by spikes. A look of shock appeared on their faces as a giant walked into the alley. The man's voice made it clear that he wanted them to surrender, the Fat Thug was having none of it. "Oi, they're just wannabe heroes, Kill Them!" He said, his voice growling. It was clear that he was trying to coerce them into fighting. The one who was dazed didn't pay any attention, but the other clearly had a bit of fright on his face. "No way, this was supposed to be an easy job! I rather deal with the boss than them!" He shouted, before he ran off into the alley way. He didn't even care that he stepped on some spikes. "Coward, come back here and fight!" He shouted, before he let out a low growl. "Oi, snap out of it and shoot the punks already!" He said to the remaining member of his crew. The one with the gun shaked his head for a moment, before turning around. "Okay kid, you made me angry... TAKE THIS!" He shouted, as he moved to the side, stepping on a spike before firing his gun at Rotech, feeling a chill down his spin as the blue totodile leered at him The Fat Thug looked at Zenith, and gave him a stern look. "So what's with the get-up, compensating for something? Let me make it clear, you're messing with the wrong people here." He said, as he gave Zenith a Mean Look. Skinny Man 2 is running away, and has taken a tick of damage and is now slowed.
Skinny Man 1 is acting normally, steps on some spikes and takes a tick of damage. He uses Feint Attack on Rotech. 27 Dark Physical Damage. Skinny man 1 how has -1 CS in Defense
Fat Man used Mean Look on Zenith: He is Trapped and Slowed for the remainder of the encounter. Fat Man now has a -1 CS in Defense

Jamie's nervous nerves calmed as the man turned towards him, and the little girl was able to escape from the men. The first worry, the victims were now out. When he heard Zenith declare for them to let the children go, A huge man walked up to taking his place by Jamie's side. He was clearly dressed like a Regigigas. Which brought a smile to his face, it reminded him of his father's stories about finding the Regigigas Hieroglyphs. He had a commanding heroic presence, and he felt more at ease now that he wasn't alone.
Jamie saw as he shot spikes surrounding the group quickly, Zenith? This man is HUGE. Arceus! or I guess Regigigas, Heh. Must be a new hero like myself. I don't remember seeing anything of him in the news.
Then another moment later before he could add any comments to the actions of Zenith, another hero arrived on the scene derailing his train of thought.
She was dressed in a blue tight fitting jumpsuit with a long flowing white cape, and goggles. He could recognize her instantly, having been keeping up to date with the current state of superheroes in the city. Siren, She's one of the new heroes in the city, a little bit of experience should help make this go a lot smoother.
With those two at his side he was finally a bit calmer, Alright, I'm not alone.
Then the first of them ran off, and Rotech saw that one of them was escaping.
Listing to the banter he thought, I'm not a wanabee hero, and I'm not a ki-- OH CRAP!
He threw his arms up reflexively as the mugger with the gun pulled his weapon and shot him, he could feel the impact of the blow on his arms. He was really glad he had put Kevlar into the weave. The impact still really hurt his arm, he knew that was going to leave a nasty bruise, might even sprain it.
Taking advantage of the moment, Static attempted to shock the man striking his master, but ended up blasting the ground as the thug stepped back.
He took a breath, Confidence. Confidence. I am a superhero now.
Jamie looked at him, and said loudly to the other two, "Zenith, Siren. I'm thankful to have the backup. One of you mind stopping the guy getting away? I can Handle this guy."
He looked the man with the gun head on, his heart heavily thumping in his chest.
"And you. You'd be shocked, what toys kids are playing with these days." Jamie said with a smirk .
He clenched his fist starting the charge on his gauntlet, and then opened the palm up. The sounds of Electricity crackling and the scent of burning in the air. He pointed the gauntlet at the man in front of him.
With that he said, "Static, Swift!"
Static released a stars of light at the villain. While he pointed his Palm. He then curled his fingers effectively pulling the trigger of the gauntlets, releasing a shot of electric energy at him.

Zenith smiled in satisfaction as one of the skinnier men gave up in response to his speech. Well, he may have surrendered, but Zenith wasn't about to let him get away with threatening a woman and her child. From mentions of a 'boss' it seemed these guys were part of a gang. Better to deal with them now than to inflict them upon others at a different time. Also if they got back to their boss, whenever Zenith - and Siren and Rotech, he supposed - fought with the members again, they would be prepared. No reason to let that happen. Speaking of his current comrades, Zenith wasn't sure what to make of them. He'd never seen or heard of them before, but then he wasn't the most knowledgeable about heroes that weren't in the Hall of Heroes, and even those he sometimes forgot about.
Still, being among other heroes did make him feel better about the situation. He'd been confident enough that he could deal with the men on his own, but having the support of two other heroes made him feel safe enough to assume that he wouldn't be walking away badly wounded, considering that at least one of the men had a gun. A gun which had already been used against Rotech. Zenith winced a little behind his mask. That had to have hurt. The beginnings of a cold anger once again manifested in what felt like a ball of ice that spread outwards from his gut. They wouldn't get away with hurting Rotech. Zenith was just about ready to rush the gangsters.
Then the large man talked. Zenith wasn't particularly bothered by his comments. Compensation jokes? This man must have been left behind when all his friends grew up. His wit was certainly juvenile at least. The man's menacing stare however served to make Zenith reconsider his threat level. Perhaps he was underestimating him, if his intimidating presence was anything to go by. Zenith would have to approach this situation more carefully. Rushing in didn't seem such a good idea anymore.
But there was no way he was going to stand around and do nothing. Rotech's request was a welcome wake-up call. "I will deal with him," Zenith said, nodding once. "Magna, attack the large man with Fury Cutter. Keep using it." That should take him down soon enough. The man might get a little cut up, but that was what he got for joining a criminal gang. Magna acted as ordered and slashed at one of the rather large man's legs. Upon hit, an aura of green energy seemed to form around the Dwebble's claws. The next hit was sure to cause even more damage.
Zenith allowed the adrenaline that was still coursing through his body to give him a boost in speed and caught up to the running man quickly, slamming into him from behind. "I told you to give up, not to run away," Zenith had to say.

Having the day off, Jovani had visited the Pokémon shelter he frequently volunteers at, Friend's Inside. There were several Pokémon in need of a friend, someone to help them through their time of need, someone to depend on; especially with the rising crime wave. Heck his Pokémon, Emily the Shroomish was one such Pokémon until Jovani adopted her. When the sun started going down, Jovani bid goodnight to the good people at Friend's Inside. Walking through the streets of Altur, Jovani had hope to stop by a local pastry shop he loves. The cream puffs they sold is delicious, and they often rotate a special flavor of the day. Jovani was hopping to buy some as he haven't had one recently, and the store was a few blocks down. By now a heavy rain begin to pour from above. Luckily he had carried an umbrella with him, after all he doesn't want to be soaked all the way down to his briefs. Rounding a lone corner as the rain stopped, Jovani closes and folds his umbrella with care, but not before shaking away most of the loose water. Passing by an alleyway, Jovani happen to quickly glance into it. After all, one can't be too careful nowadays. Since criminals seems to be attracted to Altur for no reason that Jovani can think of. Heck he had a close encounter with an inspiring criminal at the Pokémon shelter a month ago. Since then, Jovani had stopped a few crimes since then. There were a few more he could have help stopped, but another hero had got to the scene before him. It seems with the rising crime wave, there is also a calling for heroes, as others have stepped up to serve a plate of justice to the evildoers. Taking a quick peek into the alleyway from the corner of his eyes, Jovani happen to see what seems to be a crime taking place. Three suspiciously looking men in black suits, one holding something in his hand, which Jovani assumes is a gun. The suppose gun is pointed at a child's head, with her mother separated from her due to the men. Alarmed for the safety of the child, Jovani is about to take action but saw sparks and some smoke coming from behind the three men. As quickly as the man in orange jumpsuit came to help the mother, her daughter and her Pokémon, more people came to their aid. "More heroes. That's a good sign, I hope..." Jovani thought in silence. Taking a step back to hide most of himself, Jovani peeks into the alleyway. "Those three shouldn't have much problem with these... mobsters?" Soon there was some shouting that he couldn't make out, and one of the men broke away, running towards where Jovani was peeking from. "Is he running away or calling for reinforcements?" Jovani thought, though it was dark he couldn't see the man's face of panic and thought it's the latter. "Well we can't have that!"Jovani quickly looks around where he was. Seeing that there very few people in the distance, he look back into the alleyway. Seeing a large dumpster nearby, Jovani ran towards it, hiding behind it. Now in the alleyway hidden by the dumpster and the shade of shadows, Jovani looks around again, making sure no one is seeing what he's going to do. He quickly takes off his shirt as he recalls the warmth of the transformation, willing it to happen. As if answering his call, Jovani's body rapidly shifts as he felt himself getting larger and bulkier, though he feels a cool breeze on his head. Stepping out from behind the dumpster, Jovani rushes forward into the alleyway, confronting the running man. Though he now sees another giant, though rather lean, have chased after the gangster. More worried about the safety of the mother and child, Jovani releases Emily close to the mother and daughter. "Spice Girl, these men in suits are threatening that family over there. Protect them and serve these men some JUSTICE!" He shouts in a deep Russian like accent, though anyone looking at him would only see his handlebar mustache move, which obscures his mouth. Now glancing over to the man in front of him, Jojo stares daggers into the skinny little man and flexes his rippling muscles at him. Jovani's work friends calls him Jojo, and when a tipsy group of patrons decided to use his own work nickname call his transformed state on the evening news report, Jojo, it happen to stick. Not that his secret identity is publicly known, it just happen like that. Since then, whenever the people sees Jovani in his transformed form, they call him Jojo, despite a few other nicknames he had at first; like Armstrong, or Mr. Handlebar. Jojo seemed to stick, because the common folks like it, as it made the giant man seemly more friendly. Emily, or rather Spice Girl, as that's her alias when fighting crime, narrows her eyes and watches the scene before her. Picking the fat man as her target, she believes he would be an easy target. Spice Girl releases an orange cloud of powder from the hole on her head. It falls short, as the extra moisture in the air prevented the cloud of spores from reaching their intended target. Jojo - Initiative: 6 Shift: Activates Enchanting Transformation; Binding 2 AP. Standard: Uses to shift towards Skinny Man 2 Swift: None Free Action (only beginning of first turn): Releases Emily from her Pokéball
Emily/Spice Girl - Initiative: 5 Standard: Stun Spore; AR of 3 (Missed). No damage, Status, Powder. Paralyzes the target on hit. Shift: None Swift: None

Loren's eyes flicked this way and that as she took in the action. Rotech had the first guy, and Zenith over there seemed to have the runner under control. And now the new guy - oh, that was Jojo. Finally somebody she recognized. And he's blocking the other exit, with the Shroomish defending the victims. Excellent. The fat guy was obviously in charge, and she wouldn't be surprised if he was the most dangerous, too. In addition to being really insulting - she was so not a wannabe. She started advancing on him; the center gem in her circlet began to glow as she gathered power. "Hey, fatso. If I needed two buddies to pick on a little girl, I wouldn't be talking about 'compensating'." She tossed her head disdainfully. "I'll show you who's a wannabe... Reggae, sic 'em. Scratch!" No need to tear him completely to pieces; that sort of thing really annoyed the cops. The little Totodile zeroed in on his target, advancing with all the menace he could muster. As he moved, Loren started to sing; the sound coming out of her mouth was more like whalesong than human speech, rising up over the fight in hopes of unnerving the thugs - and providing a bit of protection to her new allies as well. The mystical power added to her voice would help shield the nearest of them from harm. As the music rose to an earsplitting pitch, Reggae charged with deceptive speed, darting right past the thug and raking his claws across the back of the fat man's leg. Siren's Screech: Burst 2, Friendly, Sonic; 16 vs AC 4; on hit, -2 Defense CS Spend 1 AP to activate Song of Life: allies in the AoE gain +5 Damage Reduction until the end of Siren's next turn
Reggae's Scratch: Pass; 9 vs AC 2; 20 Physical Normal damage

The one that was running down the alley felt looked behind him, and saw that the giant was barreling after him. Only now did he realize that he had stepped in some spikes. The reaction was enough for him to be distracted, as he felt the full weight of the man crashing against him. A loud cry of pain left the man as he stumbled onto the floor, rolling on the wet floor. Slowly he got up as he stared at the man, panting though his teeth as he held his arm around his waist. "Wha-What the hell are you?" He asked, grunting though the pain as he took a step back. It was clear to him that he was not going be able to get out of this. He was about to pull something out when he noticed another man, this time with clearly defined muscles and a bald head. "Alright, alright..." He panted, as he walked over to the wall, before sliding down it. "I surrender." He said plainly, still holding his side as his grinned his teeth to numb the pain. The Fat man heard this, and turned his head to him. "Conner, as soon as I'm done with them you're going to regret saying those words!" He yelled before cracking his knuckles. Of course, with five people things were looking a little grim. But it was either fight, or return to the boss, and returning to the boss wasn't a good idea. It was then he and the one with the gun heard a loud screech coming from the woman with the blue hair. He appeared to be draw to the glowing blue gem on her forehead, which mean he didn't notice when the Dwebble slashed him behind the the leg. "Good, I was looking for something to crush." He growled, as he brought up his leg and stomped on the Dwebble. However he failed to take into account the Rotom's Swift. He was pelted with stars, and collapsed onto the ground. "D-Damn it..." He muttered, before his world went black. The one with the gun felt his muscles tensing up again, he couldn't moves his legs. With a dire look on his face, he looked at Rotech. "Alright, If I'm going down I'm taking you with me!" He yelled, as he grabbed onto Rotech with his free hand and swiped at him, trying to grab anything he had on him. The only thing he found was him getting blasted by Rotech's Gauntlet. Electrical currents zapped him, causing him to let go of the gun. Combined with a well-placed scratch from Reggie and the blast from Rotom, he dropped to the ground, light puff of smoke came from his unconscious body. Seeing that everyone else had been taken out in quick secession, the remaining rogue looked up, desperation clear on his face. "Whoawhoawhoa hey now... Look, let me go. I'm dead anyways if Finnigan finds me... I'll even tell you about our current operation, just please don't kill me!" He said, his voice cracking with fear, allowing everyone in the alleyway to hear him. Fat Man and Skinny Man 1 are down.
Skinny man two is very, very battered, and is surrendering.
Everyone roll General Ed, Loren gets a +2 for this roll Also, feel free to roll your social skills, if you wish

As the fight was over, Cora didn't see much point in sticking around, but the promise of information was tempting, to say the least. She stepped out of the shadows, purposefully showing herself. Lena did as well, becoming visible once again. Cora unsheathes her rapier, pointing it at the battered man. Her blade glints menacingly in the moonlight, and while she didn't plan on using it, threatening the man may prove useful. "Talk, now." She ordered. While she meant to be threatening, her outfit may've ruined the attempt. Petticoats and blouses don't usually make people scared, after all. 13 on Gen Ed, 4 on Intimidate.

Rotech released a sigh of relief. His heart was pounding so loudly in his chest. He looked at the men that had gone down in front of him.
He checked his wounds, and felt the spot where he was shot, ow... that hurt.
He was really the only person to have gotten hit in the group. To be expected, seeing as he was here first. The others had been smart about what they'd done and had listened taking out the other guys. He checked his belt and realized he hadn't brought any restraining devices.
Stupid, Stupid., he thought.
He realized he didn't deliver a one liner as the man feel to ground, "uh....."
Dammit dammit, I can't think of one, he thought to himself grabbing the gun from the man unconscious on the ground.
He looked at them, "Mind watching them for a moment?"
He looked around and saw some rope in the dumpster. He moved up to it and gave it a yank, but it didn't move, Really? Ew...
He climbed into the dumpster and moved the trash off of rope in the dumpster. Then climbed out and pulled enough rope to tie up the villains.
He looked up as what had to be a late comer superhero also arrived and seemed to be taking point on the interrogations. He'd say something about it, but honestly he didn't care. He was to happy about catching his first villains.
He started to work on Tieing up the first two villains near him. Making sure they couldn't move their arms, and patting them down for any weapons they may have as he tied them up. He pulled a bottle from his utility belt, disinfectant, quite a bit of it. After they were tied up he poured the disinfectant on any open cuts.
Before he went over to the guy that was being interrogated and started binding his legs and arms. Not saying anything.
He thought, better to not give the image of non-cohesion among the group to them.
After tieing him up he said to him, "Hold still"
He started on his wounds with supplies from his utility belt.

Well, that went well! Loren got a little nervous when Fatso seemed to zero in on the gem, but he might have just been admiring the shiny, glowing trinket. And then he was down between the Dwebble and the Rotom, and Reggae's claws and Rotech's gauntlet took down the gunman. So there was only their runner, who'd clearly surrendered. And... was now being threatened by the lady in the dress. Where did she come from? Loren stepped nimbly around the spikes to nudge the sword away. "There's no need for that, is there, darling? He already said he'd cooperate. No need for anyone to get hurt any further."She leaned down and smiled sweetly at the man as Rotech started attending to restraints. The dumpster, though, really? "Anything you can tell us would be wonderful. We're all reasonable people here, after all." Never mind that she's never met any of the other heroes before; the thugs don't know that. "Just who is this Finnegan character? He sounds like someone we'd like to have a few words with." Something in the crooks' conversation certainly rang a bell, if she could just remember what...

I've gone to find myself. If I get back before I return, make sure I don't steal my identity.

With the fight over and with the guy tackled onto the ground, Jojo walks over to the mother and daughter pair. Though he does pass by a newcomer, Jojo pays her no mind at the moment, since he's more considered for the victims. Well if the new woman happen to be a criminal, there are more than enough heroes here to take her on. Kneeling down so his height doesn't look so intimidating. Jojo smiled, though one would only see his handlebar stache curves upwards slightly and some dimples on the man's cheek for any indication. "Everything is fine now. Are you alright little girl? You must have been so brave not to scream when those bad men showed." He says, observing for any indication of bruising or wounds inflicted by the men. Standing back up, Jojo looks to the girl's mother. "Are you alright ma'am? Have these men hurt you or your daughter?" He asks attentively. General Education: 4 Perception: 4 Charm: 17

As the fight came to a close, Zenith wound down and the adrenaline began to recede, taking with it the quicker beats of his heart and the ever so slightly shaking hands. He closed his hands into a fist a couple of times, just to make sure that the vibrations were gone.
Zenith checked out the situation, taking a long look at everyone. It seemed one of the heroes had the civilians handled, while the others were interrogating the remaining gangster. He itched to check up on the lady and her child, but figured that with his mask in place he would only unsettle them and there was no need for that. He would let the muscled man take care of them.
So instead, he joined the group that had surrounded the gangster. Something that he'd said niggled at his mind, as if there was a memory just waiting to be recalled. "Tell us everything," Zenith ordered with ice in his voice. The man may have given up, but he was still criminal scum, so there was no reason to be nice to him in Zenith's opinion. If he repented and changed his ways though, Zenith would be the first to welcome him.

Siren/Rotech
The name 'Finnigan' rang some bells in your head. There have been rumors going around about a man named Finnigan organizing most of the local rabble. For the past few nights there has been a sharp increase in Pokemon Kidnappings. But the Police haven't been able to follow up on it.
Cora
When the man mentioned 'Finnigan', you remember something. Either from your own research or from overhearing some thugs, you think that he's referring to Leroy Finnigan, a mobster who controlled Alburna's underbelly almost twenty years ago. According to your information, he jumped into the harbor when the police closed in on him on a stormy night. The general opinion was that he drowned in the harbor. Either a family member has taken over, or maybe Leroy did survive that night, twenty years ago...
Jojo The young girl still held her face against her mother, sobbing softly as the Lillipup squirmed out of her hands. The pokemon began to nuzzle against your leg, as the two of them looked at you. The mother sighed in relieve, her gratitude was clear and present on her face. "No, we're both fine. Thank you, thank you so much for saving my daughter. Had you come a moment later..." She said, trying her best to hold back her tears. The young girl let go of her mother as she went to pick up her Lillipup. "They wanted to take Fluffy away." She said, sniffing as she looked upwards, a little amazed at how tall the man was "Thank you for helping Mister... I tried not to scream for Mommy..." She added, giving a small, weary smile. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Man simply looked up as a young woman in a strange dress told him to talk. For the first time he scoffed as he looked her up and down. "Which costume store did yous rob that get up from?" He asked, before he felt he sting of medicine hitting his side.
"Ah geeze, watch where you're aimings that thing" He said though his teeth. Just then he noticed the woman with the blew hair asking him who Finnigan was. Maybe it was the fact she was treating him with a bit more kindly than the rest, or maybe it was the fear of the Giant. Regardless, he gave a small sigh before looking at her. It seemed that he had collected his nerves, but he still avoided looking at Zenith
"You didn't hears this from me, but Finnigan has been gathering every crook and low-life from Brown Street to Emerald Road. Supposedly he's connected to big-shot Mafioso or something. Regardless, the past few nights we were told to find every Pokemon we could get our mitts on, and bring thems to a warehouse near the Wharfs. I don't knows the location, there's always a guy there that meets up half-way. That, and we're shipping them out tonight. If you can get there fast enough, you might be ables to save them. Its what you heroes do after all..." He explained, before reaching into his pocket for a smoke and a lighter. After shaking the lighter a few times, he lit his smoke and took a drag.
"All I ask, is that Finnigan never finds out about this. I'm a deadman if anyone in his crew finds out I ratted out this operation." He requested, before taking another drag.

Loren hissed between her teeth. The crook's information tallied with what little she could dredge up from the rumors she'd heard... and the 'big-shot mafioso' certainly provided an interesting conclusion for her to jump to. She'd have to start getting more organized about looking into Father's affairs; if this was really his doing, she hadn't seen any of it coming. If he really wanted every Pokémon, that would explain why they were trying to steal a little girl's puppy. Sounded like this Finnigan didn't do things by halves.
Speaking of which... she glanced up back toward the two victims to see Jojo comforting them. That was good, at least. She smiled back at their 'informant'. "My lips are sealed. Where were you going to meet this middleman?" If they were lucky, the man wouldn't have to worry about Finnigan, either, but she wasn't going to make promises about that just yet. If somebody in the gang got away they might still get bright ideas.
Of course she was going to try and stop the shipment. Save the Pokémon and foil whatever scheme was going on? Sounded like a two for one sale on heroics to her. And if the other heroes... and whoever the creepy lady with the sword was... wanted to join in, so much the better. Meant she wouldn't have to sneak around.

With that information in mind, Rotech understood what was happening. He had some idea already about the Finnigan organizing the thugs of the city. Part of his preliminary research of the area, he could look more into it later. That news was rather earth shattering. They had a time limit now.
"I said hold still, I've got an electric gauntlet on here. If you move to much, then I might accidentally send more than a couple volts into you.," To emphasize his point he 'accidentally' rubbed the disinfectant to hard into one of the wounds that the criminal had.
He looked at the other members of the group, with a look that said 'Your in right?'.
He finished up quickly after that, and got up. He checked his gear, and looked at Virgel. He was still in top shape. He reached into his belt and applied a quick potion to himself. Walking over to the victims, Siren had it handled.
With that done, He mentioned to the two ladies talking to Jojo, "We can walk you ladies back if you'd like that. "

"But we came in time, that's all it matters." Jojo assures the woman, he gently place his hands on her shoulders, trying to comfort her. He doesn't resist if the mother leans in to cry, leaning her his shoulder or chest on support her. He does however removes his hands if she seemed uncomfortable with him touching her. Kneeling down, Jojo smiles and pets the Lillipup in the girl's arms. His eyes soften as if they were smiling happily along with his stache. He then looks to the little girl, patting her head. "You did well for mommy, everything is alright now. You can cry if you want." Jojo reassure the little girl, giving her a hearty chuckle at her bravery. When the ladies seem satisfied with letting out their emotions, if they did so, Jojo nods in agreement with Rotech's idea; who happen to came by. "I'll be more then willing to escort you ladies if needed." Agreeing with Rotech, Jojo comically flexes and wiggles his handlebar mustache to assure the ladies everything is fine now. Emily the Shroomish, stands proudly with her feet apart. 15 Charm to comically amuse on the Mother and daughter, Lillipup too.
