Thugs - A Team Rocket RP (Started, accepting sheets)

[dragonswarrior]

"... That'd be just my luck"

At first, Zane was a little taken aback by Dirk's claim that he would "have preferred something other than a straight fight." Zane liked sneaking around as much as the next criminal, but at the end of the day, give him a couple of rich and unwary folks in an alley, his Mankey and a crowbar and he was a happy camper.

Still, he was wise enough (barely) to know that not everyone was like him, and that there were some cool people out there whose tastes ran different.

He laughed at the ten-foot-trainer-with-a-Charizard comment. "Jeez I hope not. Isn't Charizard that fire dragon? We'd get roasted in seconds." He thought for a second. "Aint there some kind of water cannon turtle? Hopefully it'll be that instead. Getting a bath is always preferable to getting roasted."

"Hopefully it'll be that instead. Getting a bath is always preferable to getting roasted."

Leela laughed at loud at that one,"Blastoise's cannons fire off at more than enough speed to tear any one of us apart. And even if it didn't, we'd have more bones broken than we'd care to count. You may not be that smart Zane, but at least you're amusing." The elevator doors opened and Leela ordered Bellsprout to fill the hallway outside with Sleep Powder.

"Try not to breathe for a few seconds,"She warned, a few seconds before the Bellsprout on her shoulder released it's sem-toxic spores.

The elevator opened with a cheery ding on the 47th floor. Spores filled a small area of the hallway. With a series of thunks a group of ten guards who had been alerted to the elevators movement earlier fell to the ground. Leels and the others left the elevator after the cloud vanished, confident in the way being clear.

...

A melody. Hauntingly simple... It was the sound of a small flute playing an insidious tune over and over again. The guards lept to their feet and glared at the intruders.

"Protect the safe!"

"They'll tan our hides if they get past us!"

A flurry of Pokeballs were thrown out and suddenly there were half a dozen Growlithes out growling. One launched itself upon the unfortunate Bellsprout. More Pokeballs were thrown, with Geodudes, Pidgeys and Sandshrews appearing in the tight corridor.

"Tanner is coming with more guys, we'll squash these Rockets and try to clear out the main floor!"

As the Pokemon and their trainers moved forward and edged the Rockets back towards the elevator, the leader of the guards with a Pokeflute still in his hand winking at Leels.

"Nice try lass but this is our party."

He tossed out a ball and a battle hardened Wartortle appeared.

"We'll stop you here while our boss gets to the emergency line to the cops. Then we'll get a nice bonus and you guys will be behind bars. So why not just give up now?"

* * *

Max opened the door to the 48th floor and froze. A guard was listening to his radio.

"We've got them. The dumb bastards tried to use the elevator. Grab a few of the boys and we'll tie them up for the cops."

Oh, you've got to be kidding me... Don't they know elevators are ALWAYS watched?

A group of guards came bursting into the stairwell, climbing down the stairs. Watching them descend from the stairs above the 48th level, Max turned to Alex.

"This is why you should have given me some experienced goons."

"Shut up, we've got to save them."

Max looked at the closing door to the 47th level.

"Alright, I'm going to use the fire hose to wash them away. You guys turn it on when I say and we'll get those fools out of there."

Max was liking this building job less and less. How many damned guards were there anyway? The place must be loaded with money to have this much protection. They ran down the stairs to the door and Max grabbed the hose.

Peering through the window on the door, he could see the Rockets fighting with the guards but the odds were hopeless indeed. One's Pokemon went down, then anothers...

"Alright, when I say go..."

 

[staika]

"And you, a little slow on the draw there! The grunts, Alex and I took care of that scuffle without you."

"Well sir you guys didn't look like you needed any help so I didn't feel the need to interject in your fun." Damian responded before the group headed up the stairs. On the 48th floor he saw max grab a fire hose and told them to get in position. He could hear battle noises coming from another room. Damian took position behind max waiting for his signal.

Sorry for the lack of posting recently, life has hit me hard x.x

Mayu gasped at the order to get ready and hopped off of her Koffing, who was visibly tired from carrying the small girl the rest of the way. Smiling, she said. "You did good Koffing, thank you. Now rest up. Me, Vulpix and Ratatta can handle it from here." She recalled the koffing into its pokeball before saying to her other two pokemon. "It's the three of us from here on. Let's do our best to prove that we can hold our own!" She just hoped there wouldn't be any jigglypuffs to get in the way.

Spoiler: spoilered for length

Gaurds, lots of them.
"Shit, I hate it when I'm right."

There were just too many. Dirk couldn't even count all of them in such an enclosed space. There wasn't anywhere to run either. He grimaced and ground his teeth. This was not how he'd hoped his new position in team rocket would go, especially on his first day. It ocurred to him that taking the elevator might have been pretty dumb and cursed his lack of attention, swearing he'd kill that punk who suggested this if he managed to get out somehow.

Still, he was going to make at least some of them regret cornering him. He grabbed two balls off his belt at once, releasing Rhyhorn and Voltorb. "Rhyhorn, Fury Atttack!"

Rhyhorn, hearing the order and seeing the mass of soft, breakable enemies went absolutely beserk. It flew forward, thrashing about, a whirlwind of stony limbs and a sharp horn accompanied by the sound of snaps and the cries of pokemon and trainer alike. It was actually kind of scary. Of course, with such a large concentration of opponents, it was taking glancing blows and lucky hits too fast. It was getting weaker quickly.

"Volorb, screech!" The horrible sound of nails on chalkboard emanated from the pokemon, at least distracting everyone involved and disorienting several of them. Of course it didn't discriminate but by this point Dirk didn't really care anymore. "Now, thundershock, concentrate on the flyers!"

Some of the pidgeys and zubats began to fall out of the air but it didn't seem to do anything to thin their numbers. Voltorb began taking hits and even though it had the presence of mind to hit them with a spark whenever they got close, it was still too much for the fragile pokemon and soon it was out. By this point Rhyhorn was being crushed under the sheer numbers and was all but incapcitated. Fine then. They're going to regret this one way or the other.

He sent out his last pokemon. "Grimer, poison gas."
The corridor began to fill with a noxious gas that caused random enemies to balk and cough. They'll be feeling that for a few days yet. Dirk smirked. But there were still too many standing and without Rhyhorn causing chaos yet more closed in on the elevator. Dirk fell into a fighting stance and got ready to kick the crap out of anything that got too close.

He didn't want to go to prison again. The food really sucked.

 

[Redryhno]

Leela was surprised that although they had stopped a floor short, these guards were ready and prepared, which meant there was something very valuable on this floor, she giggled in anticipation. Her new Bellsprout was pounced on by a Growlithe, but the fool pokemon wasn't using his fire attacks against the grass pokemon, just it's claws.

"Bellsprout, vine whip!" The pokemon wrapped it's root vines around the Growlithe and squeezed, and they both fainted. She returned the Bellsprout to it's pokeball and put it back on her belt.

"We'll stop you here while our boss gets to the emergency line to the cops. Then we'll get a nice bonus and you guys will be behind bars. So why not just give up now?"

"Because silly, your little turtle can't stand up to the strength of my Machoke!" She sent out her pokemon, who after a command from Leela, picked up a nearby Geodude and threw it underhanded through the mass of pokemon, bowling them over like pins.

"Shit, I hate it when I'm right."

"Then why the hell didn't you take the stairs? Or tell anyone about what you were "right" about. Now let's get rid of these guards and steal their precious safe they're so busy protecting."

Seeing his Rhyhorn being swarmed, she sent Machoke over, who picked up the rampaging pokemon and shook off the small ones still holding on. How she had no idea, the pokemon was pure rock, there was nothing to hold onto that she could see. She set the pokemon down again, and it started right back up again, trampling the ones on the ground and through the ones that weren't. With the two on that side, it looked like they had a chance to make it out going that way, especially since the two were not afraid to put holes in the walls with the pokemon they were beating into submission.

The screech and shock from Voltorb knocked Leela back to reality. She took out Rainy-Day to protect their other side who were still recovering from the Geodude-turned-bowling ball, at least the ones on the ground.

"Dammit, why do they only give us three pokemon? Wouldn't trainer regulation permit us to do our jobs better?" She said it to no one in particular.

 

[Deadyawn]

"Then why the hell didn't you take the stairs? Or tell anyone about what you were "right" about?"

"Well, what I meant was that I thought something bad was going to happen...you know, now's probably not the best time."

 

[dragonswarrior]

Zane leapt in to the battle with Dirk and Leels, sending out his Mankey and flying in to the fray.

"... Dammit, why do they only give us three pokemon?...

"What?" Zane yelled at her over the sounds of battle. "You want this to be boring?" Laughing he ordered his Mankey to attack the Pokemon on Rhyhorn's flank, thinking to use Rhyhorn's bulk and destructiveness as a shield so Mankey could take out some easy Pokemon. "Use your low kick then karate chop! Get 'em on the ground and hit them when they're down!"

"Mankey!!" His Pokemon responded gleefully, then leapt in to the fray. At first Mankey followed Zane's orders, taking out one of those rock Pokemon with ease, then a Growlithe. But Mankey kept taking hits...

Out of nowhere it seemed a Growlithe landed a solid hit on Mankey with a bolt of fire. Mankey went down, struggled to get up, and then lay still.

Zane snarled and returned Mankey to his Pokeball. He still had Zubat, though Zubat was hurt. And that other mystery Pokemon, which he was loathe to use in the middle of a battle. He had hoped to have time to check it out first. I guess it has to be Zubat..." he thought as he pulled the Pokeball from his belt.

 

[Deadyawn]

That wartortle looked like it could be a problem. Dirk glanced at voltorb. It was clearly down for the count. Damn.
"Alright grimer, hit it with a sludge." Grimer chucked a blob of toxic sludge, filled with all the worst stuff nature could come up with, directly at the watrortle.
"Withdraw!" ordered the lead gaurd. The wartortle pulled it's head and limbs inside its shell and took the hit without too much trouble. Still, being too close to that kind of stuff was bad for your health as Dirk knew all too well. The wartortle's head poked out. It looked pissed.
"Water Gun!" The wartortle welled up it's chest too deliver a shot of water.
"Disable, now!" Grimer glared for a second and there was an ear splitting screech. Wartotle doubled over coughing, unable to finish it's move. Unfortunatelty, Dirk knew that his grimer didn't have the attack power to do any real damage. Rhyhorn was exhausted and wouldn't be any help. Time for desperate measures.
"Hey, somebody give me a hand here would you?!"
If they could deal with this clown before the reinforcements arrived maybe they could escape...

After climbing a quite a lot of stairs, not encountering anyone for some reason, Kuro arrive on the roof, where he saw a guard messing around with some radio equipment.
The guards didn't seem to notice him and Kuro was trying to decide whether to stick to his original plan of pretending to just a kid who got caught up in a Rocket attack or to attack him.

 

[zombiekiller1907]

Dylan was confused who to help, but he finally decided to help Dirk.
"Drowzee, use headbutt on that wartortle!"
Drowzee started charging towards the enemy
"Wartortle,rapid spin!"
Wartortle quickly retreated into its shell and started to spin.
"Aw..." Said Dylan. "That wasn't a good move.. damn."
Drowzee hit the spinning wartortle and took damage.
"Okay drowzee, let's try this again. Use confusion!"
The attack hit wartortle, confusing it.
"Use headbutt again!"
"Wartortle, withdraw!"
The attack did little damage to the wartortle, even though it was confused.
"This is harder than I thought.."

 

[=y]

"Come on, why won't you work?!" said the leader of the guards, hitting the equipment and fussing with the antenna.

"There are Rockets in the tower and I need help."

He wiped the rain off his face and kept at it. Damn storm, the interference must be what's stopping it!

 

[Redryhno]

Things were starting to go bad. Machoke and Rhyhorn were beating back the tide at one end of hall, but there was a never ending swarm of pokemon. They were simply being taken down by the sheer number of goons, little by little, and on the other end of the hall, it was lighter, but that Wartortle was causing far too many problems, but she didn't have anything to take care of it permanantly, but she did have Rainy-Day, and he might be able to push back the horde of pokemon.

"Rainy, use Twister!"

The Dratini used his ability, pushing back most of the pokemon, slinging the Rattatas and Jigglypuffs that had started to band together back, slamming them into walls,furniture, and each other in the hallway. The Wartotle withdrew into his shell again and was thrown back a few feet, but nothing but minor damage to the shell, the Geodudes had been hurt more than that thing.

 

[=y]

"Come on lads. They still have Pokemon standing!" said the leader of the guards irritated. The guards redoubled their efforts, their Pokemon getting hits both on the Machoke and the Drowzee causing problems.

"Well lass, you have a bit of a fight in ya. But I know how to win and there is no way you're leaving this hallway!" he said, pulling out another Pokeball. It flashed red and a Pidgeotto emerged. It screeched and headed into the fray along with the Wartortle, which had shaken its head and regained a clear picture of the situation.

The door in the hallway opened and more guards streamed in.

"We don't need you but thanks for coming anyway. We've got this in the bag."

 

[Kuroneko Aisha]

Mayu was really worried about the Rockets in the battle, but she didn't know if they would be able to do anything without getting hurt. Looking over to Max, she asked in a whisper with concern in her voice. "Are we going to help them soon boss? They're not doing very good right now and they just got even more backup." She didn't want to give away their positions just yet, so she was trying not to move around too much.

 

[dragonswarrior]

Zane groaned, reinforcements had shown up and the leader of the group had pulled out some kind of big bird.

"Zubat! Supersonic on that bird! Get it too confused to attack!"

His Zubat responded, using his ultrasonic screech to try and confuse the bird. It worked! The dastardly avian veered off suddenly and flew up, smacking it's head in to the ceiling. Zane laughed triumphantly. "Well done!! Now, leech it's life away!" Zubat flew at the hovering confused bird to finish it off..

"Pidgeotto! Wing attack!"

Suddenly the bird (A Pidgeotto?) seemed to snap out of it's confusion. It didn't even look that hurt... Just angry. It's wing lashed out and slammed into Zane's damaged Zubat, knocking it to the ground.

Silenced and stunned, Zane returned it to it's Pokeball.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Kuro decides to stick with his plan.
"Y-you're not with them, are you?", he said, sounding convincingly scared. But that might be because he actually was a bit worried they'd see through his disguise.

 

[=y]

The leader of the guards and one of his men both turned in surprise.

"It's just a kid Sam, I'll talk to him." said the lower ranked guard as the other continued working on the emergency equipment.

"Don't worry kid, we'll get the tower back under control. And we'll get these Rockets out of our city someday soon! According to Douglas, they've got them all surrounded some twelve floors below. You're safe." he said, smiling.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

"T-that's a relief... I think they nearly found me at some point...
I-I overheard some of them talking...
It seemed l-like they were looking for someone..."

His plan seemed to be working, he might be able to get some information out of these guards.
