The girl standing next to the old man glares at the two standing before her. There's a dangerous look in her eyes and she gives Dave a withering gaze. She hadn't expected two of them when the man asked for help, but no matter. She yells out in a cold, enraged tone, her voice carrying the softer sounds of a Kalosian accent. "Shame on you both! You break two pokeballs of pokemon from a respectable breeder, causing the Ursaring to rampage, and then capture it yourself. Did you really think you would get away with it? Give up now, and maybe your sentences will be lighter!" At the tail end of her statement she pulls a pokeball out from the bag at her hip and tosses it forwards towards the poachers. There was the standard flash of light, and suddenly floating in the air would be a purple baloon-like pokemon, wearing a lopsided top hat. The adorableness of it somewhat discounted from her intimidating words. 14 for an intimidate check on the both of the evil poachers!

Huh? Thief? Dave's eyes narrow, even as the "Breeder"'s widen. "Thief? What's this about, Jesse? You said these were yours." He turns to the new arrivals. "And who are you two? Someone had better explain what's going on here. Something about breaking Pokéballs, and an Ursaring being stolen?" He looks between the two groups a few times, while also glancing around to see if there was any sign of a drone. For once, it looked like the cameras might be more helpful than annoying.

Jack's gaze followed Bolt's pointing, and he swallowed hard. That didn't look good.
"Uh, Bolt...I think we better get out of here," he said, worry in his voice. That was a lot of birds...and a Fearow to boot. "Come on buddy, we've gotta run!"
Jack waited just long enough for Bolt to clamber up onto his shoulders and took off as fast as he could through the forest, doing his level best not to trip and heading in the direction that he thought was Accumula town. At least it should be. This was the way the road was going.

Jacqueline's eyes narrow at the cotton candy one, taking a good look at him. It did seem a bit odd he was aiding this poacher. He looked too weak and pathetic. Perhaps he could be convinced to help, then. "This is Noah, the owner of the Teddiursa and Ursaring that your companion just caught. He smashed their pokeballs to catch them himself, but he failed to capture the enraged mother. Just think about it, why would the Ursaring attack its own owner. I heard the sounds of fighting. You'd have to be an idiot to think there wasn't something suspicious about that, no?" To further emphasize her point, she pulls out some shards of broken pokeball from the bag at her side. "and if that isn't enough proof, there's this. Now help me stop him before he tries to run. Now Floon, Minimize and close in on him." She then shifts her gaze to the poacher, her glare almost daring him to run. Floon for floon's part suddenly shrinks down in size, pushed forwards towards the poacher by a light breeze. Or perhaps by the force of Jacqueline's yelling, it was hard to tell. Dave added to profile Archive. The never having AP begins.

"Well, I've heard of unruly Pokémon who don't exactly get along with their Trainers," Dave retorts. "For all I knew, this could have been one of them. 'Trainer' isn't synonymous with 'friend', after all. But, you'd have to be an idiot to not realize that, no?"
When she commands her Pokémon to 'close in on him', though, Dave blanches. "What?! Are you crazy? You don't just go and attack someone. That's just not right!"

Dave and Jacqueline
As Floon zoomed towards the man, he snapped out of his stupor, and reached towards a nearby tree for a leaf once more and blowing directly into Floon's face, hoping to put the little ghost to sleep
A moment later, he realized that the jig was up and reached into his bag and pulled out a different Pokeball then before "I'd use the Ursaring on you, but I'm not so sure she would listen to me just yet. So this will have to do" He says sending out a large tan Feline Pokemon with a red gem on its forehead
Jesse nods towards Hal and the cat dashed at him, striking him in the side of the head in an instant, catching the Porygon off guard. He shook his head at Dave "It's a shame it had to come to this, you were a lot of help kid. Though I'll give you a chance to run if you want, just drop the ball for the Porygon and go. That thing should be worth the hassle you all are causing me"
Jack
Jack successfully makes it over a stray log in the road, and manages to keep hold of the Pidgey as well. Bolt meanwhile lets off shocks towards the cloud of birds, keeping most of the smaller ones at bay.
However, the largest one begins to close in, a loud "FEAROOOW!" Escaping its beak. At this rate, it would catch the pair in less then thirty seconds...And the forest was getting a little winding.....

As Cotton Candy quips back at her, Jacqueline can't quite help but smirk at it. It wasn't exactly the funniest thing in the world, but it was a pleasant surprise, maybe there was some hope for him after all. She was about to reply when the poacher leapt to action, sending a pokemon after Mr. Spritzee over there. "Hey look, he attacked us. According to your logic... that means he's our boss, right? Since he only attacks those he should already be able to control. I think we should become his minions, don't you?"There was a tick of annoyance on her face as Floon drifted to the ground, but it didn't last for long. Ha, as if that would keep Floon down! She moves over to Floon and gently pokes Floon's face until Floon stirs. "Come on Floon, up you go. If he's decided that he's a combatant, that means he's fair game for you, so give him a good Gust!" Floon bobs in response, floating up into the air and inhaling a big breath before unleashing it on the contemptible man. It seems Floon really didn't appreciate being put to sleep very much, because the swirl of winds certainly batter the man. Jacqueline wakes Floon as a standard action As a Swift Action for 1 AP, she records Grasswhistle for her archive.
Floon flies 3 meters up from ground level Gust! AC roll of 20, not a crit. 35 Special Flying type damage

Jack continued to run, not daring to look back, concentrating on the path ahead and his two passengers. "Bolt...we need...to find....somewhere to...lay low," he said, panting as he ran. Then he saw it. There, a hollow in a tree.
"Hang on buddy!," Jack shouted to Bolt, clutching the Pidgey tightly and diving into the hollow with no time to slow down. He felt the back of his left shoulder, the one Bolt wasn't occupying, strike hard against the inside of the tree trunk.
"There," he said, panting heavily, taking a moment to catch his breath. "We should be okay for a little while. Make sure you zap any of the Spearow that try and get in here!," Jack said, checking on the Pidgey in his hands to make sure it was okay. This spot was only temporary...he'd need to figure out a way out of this situation.

"If that's what you think my logic sounds like," Dave retorts to the woman, "Then your train of thought must be driven by a blind Spinda."
"Clearly you didn't learn anything from watching me," Dave says, now turning to Jesse. "If you had, you'd have realized you overlooked a few things." He begins ticking up fingers as he says this, making his way away from the cat. "One. You don't mess with me." At this, Hal begins to move, taking a swipe from the cat. "Two. Attacking head on can easily serve as a distraction." Hal bobs next to the poacher now. "And three." He gives a wicked grin, as Hal begins to enter the Ursaring's Ultra Ball. "Hal is a Porygon. Jailbreak time, Hal."Dave moves to L9, uses Focused Training on Hal, and Tags Persian.
Hal moves to Q9, and rolls Tech Edu to try and open the Ursaring's Pokéball. 27 vs DC 19.
Momentum: 1

Luke smiles brightly when his newest companion is sucked in the ball, and is about to let the pup out again when he hears a cry of pain. He frowns a bit and looks down at Gawain looking between him and the direction the sound came from. He gives a quick nod. "We'll go ahead and look, but try and stay out of sight, okay?" he proceeds to carefully move forward through the forest, heading to where the sound came from. Stealth Luke: 9 Stealth Gawain: 12

JackBolt nodded as he began to zap any Spearow that came too close, the entrance to the tree hollow providing enough cover that they had to come one at a time. It didn't take long until Jack heard a loud "FEAROOOOOOOW" And the Spearow stopped coming all together. The forest was eerily quiet for the next few minutes, the only thing Jack could hear was the ragged breathing of the Pidgey and the wind in the trees outside. LukeAs Luke and Gawain make their way towards the sound, they see the same Lillpup as before, cowering before a much larger, black bird Pokemon. The Pokemon seems to be berating the small Lillipup, before eventually hitting it with its wing, causing the canine Pokemon to cry out once more. Gawain started to take a step forward towards the abuse, before stopping himself, unsure of what to do. Dave and JacquelineAs Hal dashed away, Jesse's Pokemon fruitlessly swiped at him, its claws hitting where it had been moments before. "Kid, I don't wan-AGH" Before he could say anything, the poacher was pummeled by Floons windy barrage. He shakes his head clear just in time to notice Hal coming up and diving into his pouch, before hearing the click of a Pokeball. A moment later, the raging Ursaring was out once more. This time however, she turned her attention directly upon Jesse, rearing back both arms, which becoming enveloped in a light pink energy, before bringing them down on him repeatedly. However, the man is tougher then he looks, because he somehow was still standing after the onslaught, rearing back and punching the Ursaring as well. "Right, you made the point that YOU are more of a threat to me right now then anything. Thanks for that" He once more nodded at his Pokemon, which rushed Dave this time, its mouth wide as it aimed to tear into the Trainer Dave takes 49 Dark Physical damage, before defenses

Jacqueline takes a moment, her head bouncing back and forth between the two trainers being mauled by vicious beasts, when suddenly a sparkle forms in her eyes. "I should film this!" She messes around in her pockets for a moment before pulling out a small device, her holo-caster, and begins recording with a massive grin of amusement on her face. "Guys, you just had to see this~! Over here, we have a poacher being mauled by the Ursaring he was trying to poach, the justice is poetic, no? And over here, we have the guy who was duped into helping him getting mauled by the poacher's Persian! How often do you see pokemon so focused on the trainers instead of battling each other? Although, I'm not sure Cotton Candy over there deserves it... Floon, go help him out, alright? Oooh that one had to hurt!"Floon bobs up and down in response, then lazily drifts its way over towards Dave and the Persian. When it reaches a good enough position, it inhales once more, unleashing another torrent of air that batters around the cat. Gust 6 vs AC 2 32 Special Flying type damage.

"Agh!" yells Dave, as the cat attacks. That.. that just isn't something you do. That thought permeates his head even through the pain. "Hal... get the cat!" He staggers backwards, just trying to escape the Pokémon without getting attacked. Hal floats a slight bit out of reach of the man, before launching a beam at the feline. Dave Tags Persian, uses Focused Training on Hal, and Disengages.
Hal Disengages, and uses Psybeam on Persian. 5 vs Ac2, for 36 Special Psychic damage.
Momentum: 3 if it hits, 2 otherwise.

Jack and Bolt peered out of the stump, looking around...but they didn't see any sign of the Fearow, or the Spearow flock.
"Alright...looks like the coast is clear. Let's make a break for it, climb on Bolt," Jack said quietly, trying to keep his voice low. Once Bolt was atop Jack's shoulders, Jack made his way carefully out of the tree hollow, keeping his eyes peeled, and picked up running back toward Accumulua town as fast as he could, trying to avoid any roots or brambles that might trip him up.
Not much farther now, Jack thought to himself as he ran. Hang on, Pidgey...

Luke frowns as he sees the Honchkrow bully around the Lillipup from before. "Cut that out!" he shouts angrily as he steps out of the bushes, all safety messures forgotten, "Just cause you're bigger than someone doesn't give you the right to boss them around like that, you know! That's just wrong!"Command: 8

Dave and Jacqueline
"Are you Film-" Jesse tries to say, before the Ursaring decides that it has had enough of him, walking pretty much right through him, its claws making short work of his T shirt. He quickly falls to the ground unconscious, but the bear continues to look around with a roar
"Uh oh" the old breeder says "She's on a rampage now that shes loose. We gotta think of some way to calm her down or we're all done for!"
The cat jumps up at Floon as the old man talked, its teeth coming dangerously close to the Drifloon.
At the moment it touched the ground, however, the little Teddiursa looked at the injured Dave before dashing over and starting to scratch at it!
Jack
Jack and Bolt make it the rest of the way without stopping, the flock of birds having given up chasing them. However, it seemed the jostling during all the running wasn't doing the Pidgey any good. As Jack approached the outskirts of the Town, he saw a large man dressed in simple clothes and somewhere around Daves age, sitting with a Croagunk.
As the man notices Jack cradling the Pidgey, he runs over to help "Hey, is your Pidgey alright? It looks really beat up, why isnt it in its Pokeball?" There is obviously concern in his voice
Luke
As Luke approaches the Honchkrow, the Lillipup runs off into the brush, causing the bird to get even more irate.
Flapping over to the Normal Type Trainer, it puffs up its chest "Honch-Honch KROW!" before poking him in his chest with a feather. Gawain stands at Lukes heels, growling, but staying put for the moment since the larger bird has yet to actually attack. It looks down at the little Eevee attempting to look fierce and then it begins to laugh, or at least, laugh as much as a bird can

Jack shook his head as the man approached. "It's not my Pidgey, it's wild. It was getting attacked by a bunch of Spearow when me and Bolt found it," he said, gently cradling the Pidgey. "We managed to beat the Spearow, but then a huge flock of Spearow and a Fearow showed up. We just got away from them," Jack said.
"I need to get this Pidgey to the Pokemon Center right away. Can you tell me where it is?," he asked, a worried look on his face as he looked at the Pidgey's worsening condition.

Luke gets angrier and angrier as the Honchkrow mocks both him and Gawain. Truly pissed off, he takes a quick step back to give Gawain space. "Stop that! You've got no right to treat us like that! Show him Gawain!" Gawain nods, before jumping at the Honchkrow, limbs flailing, before landing in front of it and using his momentum to turn around and dash into the Honchkrow, giving it no time to react. Luke binds Plainly Perfect for 2 AP Gawain uses Flail: AC2: 10, 46 Physical Normal Type Damage Luke uses Focused Training Gawain uses Quick Attack: AC2: 12, 36 Physical Normal Type Damage. 5 DR till the end of next turn

Jacqueline takes a moment, then stares at the Breeder blankly. "You specialize in breeding these things, and yet you cannot keep one under your control? You're it's owner, if it will not listen to you, then perhaps you need to rethink your training strategies." She sighs, then glances over at Floon. Normally, she'd have floon continue to harry the cat, but for her plan to work, she'd need that Persian to not be knocked out. "Floon, get out of range." Floon bobs in response and ascends towards the heavens. Then, Jacqueline straightens out her jacket, shoves the still recording holo-caster into the breeder's hands, and walks straight up to the Ursaring. "Hey, idiot! Your child is currently fighting over there, and instead of protecting it like a good mother should, you're wasting your time over here with this pathetic one. Go over and protect it and stop being useless. Now." 13 on Bear intimidation. Not nearly as good as I was hoping.

As Dave heads further back, making sure to avoid both river and cat, he just registers the tail end of what the girl says. And realizes that directly in between the bear and the brawl... is Hal. Ah, great. That was the exact situation he'd been trying to avoid the whole time - never get in between a mother Ursaring and her cub. Hal didn't even have the benefit of being at full strength. Upon realizing this, he calls over to Hal, "Move, Hal! Quickly!" Hopefully it'd be enough. Hal finishes launching his beam at the cat, before sliding - hopefully far enough - out of the way. After delivering that order, he turns over towards the girl and snaps, "Hey, newsflash for you, karp-for-brains. If you get Hal killed because of your stupidity, I am going to make sure to take a pin to that balloon of yours." How dense do you have to be to be to insult something that you just saw take out a man in one swipe?Dave uses Focused Training.
Hal uses Psybeam on the Persian. 11 vs AC2, for 31 Special Psychic damage.
Momentum: 3
