Mary was too distracted to noticed that Neon was floating above her. When she heard him speak she let out a yelp and looked up with a confused, surprised, look. She cleared her throat and adjusted her glasses when she noticed who it was, trying her best not to get upset over something so silly and maybe he wouldn't her reaction. She got herself together quickly and smiled up at Neon.

"We need to find a wide open area to gather lots of trash and see how much poison Pokemon gather. This will give proof that the city is too polluted. I figured outside the city would be the best option." She turned around and continued to walk. "You look silly up there by the way." Mary turned around and took a quick picture of Neon. "Ha! Got you doing a silly face." She giggled playfully and continued her way.

 

[Captain Pokémon]

Mary’s loud, startled yelp also startled Neon, who accidentally dropped a hyper potion that was in his bag. Neon looked back as the hyper potion flew away behind them, then hit the ground with a crash. “Welp.” Was all Neon said. He then playfully rolled his eyes when Mary took a picture of him. “Anyhoo, sounds like a plan. My psychic pokémon like Prometheus and Yadon should be able to help gather the trash, as well as fight off some hostile poison pokémon.” Neon said with his arms crossed, thinking. “By the way, where are the others? I get that trash duty isn’t the most enjoyable thing to do, but I thought we’d at least get three people.”

Still a bit bamboozled by Alistair's meteorology speech, Sam gestured towards Reuniclus and said:
"Sounds like meteorology's a lot of work! I've actually done a bit of work with weather moves while working with Meganium. Whenever Sunny Day is used, it's Solarbeam becomes supercharged! Right now I'm investigating psychic type moves, like this one. Psychic Terrain!"

Reuniclus flipped back right side up and started glowing a fierce pink color, a sudden wave of energy erupting from its body. Within seconds, the entire room was covered in a strange swirling power, drawing several confused looks from the other people in the lobby.
"When Psychic Terrain is active, psychic type attacks become much much stronger! You're average Slowpoke would have the firepower of an Alakazam in this terrain! Pretty cool, huh?"

As a demonstration, Reuniclus lifted one arm and effortlessly levitated both Meganium and Sam up 6 or 7 feet up in the air, causing both of them to cry out in surprise. Dangling upside down midair, Sam's eyes widened as he remembered something. He called out to Reuniclus urgently:
"Ah! I completely forgot! We ought to hurry up and go do our assignment from that Strawberry lady!"

 

[JadeStar]

"Leave the trash for the others." Mary said out loud. "Our job is to find a good open place, one that won't damage others of course, hopefully some abandoned terrain or something similar."

She was walking now, beginning to feel tired from the running before. She made sure Dewott was fine in her bag. The road was now leading through older buildings and warehouses. The people around them were even more shady looking and so were the Pokemon.

"Since you're flying, look for something!" Mary called out, she sounded upset but was beginning to get worried.

 

[ThAtGuY101]

Alistair saw the pink swirl, and nearly gave into panicking. Alistair quickly grabbed his umbrella and looked for a desk to hide under. Alistair gasped in horror as Sam and meganium were lifted up. Alistair almost forgot about the mission until Sam brought it up. For a brief moment, Alistair was more concerned about the mission than his personal safety. "That's right! We should go ahead and head there" Alistair said. Alistair used his phone to pull up the coordinates. The coordinates lead to an abandoned subway station, though at the time, Alistair accidentally glanced over the word 'abandoned', and assumed it was a regular subway station Alistair didn't particularly like subway stations as he had a few bad experiences with them. "No time to waste!" Alistair said. As he headed out the hotel he made sure to have all his emergency supplies on hand.

 

[mz1]

His two Pokemon trailing after him, Sam went to grab his bag and quickly went over his stuff to make sure he packed everything:
"Brunch, check, Lunch, check. Post-lunch snack, check. Pre-dinner snack, check. Backup snacks, check. Malasada coupons, check. Looks like we're all set!"
Rolling its eyes at Sam, Meganium nudged its trainer and held out a small card that had dropped to the floor.
"Huh? Oh my trainer ID! Can't believe I almost forgot my 7th most important item! Alright, that should be everything....let's go catch up with Alistair!"
Hauling his massive backpack, Sam motioned for his Pokemon to follow and left the hotel.

 

[ThAtGuY101]

Alistair headed towards their next destination, ready to go. Alistair waited outside a few moments, seeing Sam come out with a large backpack put a smile on his face. The backpack looked full. It looked kinda heavy too. This was a good thing in Alistair's mind, because it meant that Sam was prepared. The fact that Sam came prepared for the assignment automatically gave Sam, a ton of respect from Alistair. "A man of class, I see" Alistair thought to himself.

Alistair began walking towards the place, "We should be there shortly" Alistair said. Alistair walked past the abandoned subway station entrance, thinking his phone was glitching, 'I can't seem to find the destination" Alistair said. After a few minutes, Alistair had to accept that the abandoned subway station was their destination. "This isn't our destination is it?" Alistair said. Upon going inside, there was a fowl odor. Alistair had to pull a bottle of flabebreeze. Though the fragrant scent was merely a temporary fix. "Why are we here?" Alistair said. "I'm a meteorologist, what am I supposed to do, down here?! This place is dark! It's stinky! It's dirty!... I think I need a tetanus shot if I'm to go any further in this place, Oh woe! Why me?! What have I done to deserve this punishment?!" Alistair thought to himself. Alistair began thinking about all sorts of hazardous situations in his mind. he crouched down, placing his hands over his head, and closing his eyes shut. Hoping the situation would go away. After Alistair's brief existential crisis slowly faded, and he stood up. "One step at a time" Alistair said.

Alistair wasn't about to walk down the dark tunnel, no telling what was down there. Alistair was mostly afraid of being attacked by a ghost, or worse. A ghost train pulls up to the station. Alistair heard stories of trains pulling up to abandoned stations, people getting on them, and never being seen ever again. These thoughts frightened Alistair even more than washing dark clothes with the light clothes.

Alistair took a deep breath and mentally prepared himself to get some work done. Having Watt and Volt around helped a lot. His two pokémon tapped their tails together creating a decent light source. Which was great because Alistair was extremely afraid of the dark. Alistair even had a mareep night light, and even a elekid glow in the dark alarm clock. Thinking about all these things made Alistair feel better, enough to turn his frown upside-down once more. He was still unhappy with his situation, but at the very least, he was feeling better.

 

[<Inkscape>]

Teyeu had not planned to teleport, but he did.

The last minutes had been a blur, but it had turned out that that Toxicroak called a lot more friends than just those on the rooftops.
Within minutes he had been surrounded, and had no other choice.
He had caught a few pokemon in the mess, but couldn't do much else.
Teyeu looked at the Pokeballs he had grabbed up, before digging into his pocket and getting out Espurr's Moon ball.
Teyeu wasn't entirely sure why he had decided to name his Meowstic after its pre-evolution, but the name caught on.
He quickly returned Scratch to it's Cherish ball, a Pokeball which he wasn't proud of how he obtained, and then returned Dusty to its Safari Ball. He threw out Espurr, before immediately shouting:
"Espurr! Use Teleport! Teleport to...."
he paused for a second, before coming up with an idea, a sly grin coming across his face.
"teleport to Alistair if you can."
In a flash of purple, Teyeu was out of the alley.

The next thing he saw was a subway, but from an angle he normally shouldn't be at.
He then saw the floor, and subsequently dropped onto it fiercely, about 3 feet away from where Alistair stood.
"i didn't mean it that literally..." he muttered to his pokemon, who looked at him innocently.

 

[mz1]

Sam followed Alistair to the abandoned subway, slightly lagging behind, mainly because of the mini fridge strapped to his back.
After a few minutes of walking, Sam and his pair of Pokémon became increasingly aware of the station’s unpleasant odor suspiciously reminiscent of the time Sam accidentally ordered a vegan burger from a one star fast food place. Wrinkling his nose in disgust, he muttered:
“Yuck....this place really kills my appetite.....Oh I have an idea! Meganium try using Aromatherapy!”

Meganium, still in the middle of a mini coughing fit, nodded and lit up its petals once more, releasing the familiar cloud. Big mistake. The instant the Aromatherapy hit the air, it clashed horribly with the putrid scent of the subway, filling the entire chamber with a sickly sweet abomination.

Trying his best not to double over and puke, Sam covered his nose and said to nobody in particular:
“For the record, Aromatherapy should NOT be used as an air freshen-WAAAAGHH”

Before Sam could finish his thought, a few feet in front of him, about where Alistair was, something or someone materialized in the air and came hurtling to the ground with a resonating “SMACK”. Sam called out to his new friend:
“Hey! Alistair! You all right there? What the hell was that?!”
Before rushing over to Alistair’s aid, Sam thought to himself
“This day just keeps getting weirder and weirder....I just wanna stop for a malasada”

 

[ThAtGuY101]

Alistair turned and leaped five feet in the air, as he saw Teyeu appear out of nowhere, "GAAAAHHH!!!! DEEEMO-... Wait... Its... teyeu. Phew! Not a ghost' Alistair said. Alistair turned towards Sam, "Uuuughhh" Alistair said, looking back and fourth at Sam and Teyeu. Alistair couldn't think of a proper answer for Sam's question. The only thing Alistair could focus on were his two pokémon creating a light source. "Looks like we're here... For the assignment... in this dark... smelly... underground place where nobody can hear you screa- i mean!... Assignment to help pokmon!" Alistair said in a horrified tone of voice. every so often Alistair looks towards the subway tracks, expecting to hear a 'Teke teke' Sound. Alistair stood relatively close to the others just in case.

 

[EmoKitty21]

Alex looked towards the group, they were going in a completely different direction then his train of thought took. That being said, Alex took off in the opposite side of the city. It seemed that the place was more or less ran down, with buildings in disrepair, sidewalks needing to be patched, and a lot of store fronts were broken into and boarded up. "Lady Luck, it might be that we are on our own again, but I think we may have something here."

What Alex had came to was an abandoned bar. It already had some trash over the place. It was a place for ratata, and other such pokemon thrived. Calling the group, he put it on video for them to see. "Hey everyone, I think I may found a place. It might not be what you were originally thinking, but this might be a bit better as this place is rarely used, and could be shown to Officer Jenny as she would be able to help us the most.

 

[Captain Pokémon]

“Oh, gotcha!” He said, feeling kinda dumb, but he wasn’t gonna dwell on it. He looked around them, seeing rather shady looking buildings. The people around them were also not too friendly looking.

He looked down at Mary. “Alright, I’ll look, but don’t count on me finding anything spectacular!” Neon told her. “Alright Hexcalibur, fly higher up.” The Royal Sword pokémon nodded in acknowledgement, and flew much higher up. Neon looked around from his bird’s eye view and saw what seemed to be an area cleared for construction, but it looked abandoned. “Strange.” He said. He shuffled through his bag and took out a Timer Ball. He opened the ball and his Magnezone, Flux, popped out. “Flux, go scan that area, will ya?” The Magnet pokémon beeped affirmatively and flew down to the area. It scanned the area by activating the move Lock On, the reticle frantically searching around the area while many vertical and horizontal lines moved around the area, measuring and mapping it out. Only Flux saw all this, of course.

After doing this process for a few minutes, the pokémon nodded to itself, sure that the area was empty and had no lifeforms around or in it, the nearest one being many miles away. The pokémon flew back up to Neon. The antenna on the top of its head moved around and made a beeping sound, transmitting a message to Neon. He nodded. “Alright, thanks buddy!” He said and returned the pokémon to the Timer Ball. Hexcalibur flew back down to Mary with Neon. “Hey!” Neon called down to Mary. “I found an area! It’s abandoned and cleared out, nobody around or in it either! Looks perfect!” He said. “Though, it’s pretty far away, and I wouldn’t want to run there if I were you.” He shuffled through his bag once more and pulled out a simple pokéball. “My Charizard’s in here. We can ride him there, it’d be much faster than walking. Whaddya think?”

 

[JadeStar]

Flying on a Charizard. Mary was very afraid of heights and a giant flying fire breathing Pokemon wasn't going to change that. She cleared her throat and tried to hide her blush of embarrassment as thought of a quick excuse. She adjusted her glasses before speaking.

"No thank you, I have a full stomach and might get nauseous. I think I'll walk. If you could just show me the way I will appreciate that." She looked up at the trainer floating above her. "Besides maybe you could get a head start and start clearing the area? In case there's any scrub, we just want to keep the trash."

 

[Captain Pokémon]

"Suit yourself!" Neon said. "I'll have my Magnezone show you the way." He said, then shuffled through his bag, and let the pokemon out of its Timer Ball. Flux popped out, seeming slightly surprised, considering it was just let in the ball. "Sorry for making you work again pal, but Mary here needs assistance getting to the area, and since you're the one who got there, I figured you'd be the best one to help." The Magnet pokemon beeped and nodded. Flux used Lock-On once more, the reticle greatly zooming in and swerving around obstacles that were in the way of Flux's line of sight. It eventually made it to the area. Flux fired a Signal Beam from its center eye. The beam shot forward, swerving around buildings, water towers, and other obstacles with terrifying accuracy, speed, and finesse. Although, the beam was fired relatively high into the air, so it avoided people, as it would be lethal for anyone to walk into it. "Follow that beam to get to the area I'm talking about. Flux here will escort you, just in case." He said, before letting out his Charizard, Wildfire, from his standard pokeball. He hopped onto the Flame pokemon from Hexcalibur, then returned the Aegislash. "See ya there!" He said, before Wildfire flew off at incredible speed, equivalent to that of a jet plane. Flux began to float forward, expecting Mary to follow. (@JadeStar you can just do a timeskip and have Mary arrive at the area, or you can auto Flux for whatever reasons you think are necessary, I don't really care.)

 

[<Inkscape>]

Teyeu got off the floor, returning the mischievous Meowstic to its Pokeball.
"heeey aalistaair," he said, slightly desensitized from the fall. "what're wee, uhhh, duhing heere?"
he thought about taking a step, realized how much of a terrible idea that would be, and sat right back down on the floor, taking out the pokeballs from the encounter he had escaped.
I managed to get a few standard poison types, the Toxtricity, and a few unrelated ones... he thought to himself.
"Turns out Celadon's alleyways are chock full of pokemon, they come out of bloody everywhere..." He muttered.
"i managed to catch a few pokemon, but i had to get out of there fast, so i teleported to you."

He sniffed, his senses assaulted by some posthumous odor in the subway. It was an absolutely caustic scent, a sickeningly sweet suicide of discarded trash and some type of air freshener.
"Bronzong's bloody bells, who used aromatherapy in here? It's like chemical gas but on a whole new level of causing lung disease!" Teyeu moaned, trying to breathe through his mouth, which helped to relieve the pain of the smell.

 

[ThAtGuY101]

The smell wasn't that bad for Alistair, since he was smart enough to wear a mask which helped block a majority of the scent. It was still bad, but could have been way worse without the mask. Alistair turned towards Teyeu, "That's right. We're here in this abandoned subway station to clea-" Alistair paused before crouching down in the corner, "I think Professor Strawberry is mad at us or something, making us clean..." Alistair said. Alistair walked back over to the others, he offered them a mask each. He took out a pair of rubber gloves and put them on, he even offered the others some gloves. Alistair began poking the trash with a long stick with a nail on the end, and began putting the trash in a large bag.

Alistair stopped after hearing a high pitched squeak. Alistair turned tail and ran full sprint the other way when a pack of rattata began chasing him back and fourth. Alistair's yelled in horror as they chased him. Watt and Volt we're just about to use thunder shock on them, but the rattata lost interest in Alistair, and ran off down the darkened subway tunnel. "Alistair tried to regain his composure. Alistair eventually got back to work.

Alistair hadn't even been working for five minutes, and he was already exhausted, out of breath, and had his hands pressed against his knees. "Oof! So much to cleean... This is the real deeal haaard work. oooh..." Alistair said as he leaned against the wall to try catch his breath. "I'll continue working in a minute" Alistair said wiping the sweat off his forehead.

 

[mz1]

Still wheezing from the air, Sam gingerly put on the gloves and started placing the trash into bags, cringing at the horrid smell and disgusting feel of the garbage. Suddenly, he turned around to Reuniclus and gave a sly grin. The psychic Pokemon flinched, (too clearly) remembering the last time Sam had this look on his face:
"Reuniclus, give us your best Psychic Terrain!"
Knowing too well where this was going, Reuniclus sighed in defeat and concentrated its psychic power once more, quickly filling the station with the same pink swirls from before.
"Now then, use Psychic to pick up a bunch of garbage in one go!"
Reuniclus nodded and intensely concentrated on the surroundings, focusing its power on the heaping piles of trash, Reuniclus slowly brought its arms together, forming a massive ball of garbage in the air, waiting for its trainer's next command.
"Huh I didn't think of what happens after this"
Reuniclus shot an exasperated look at Sam, clearly struggling to contain the toxic ball of trash. Sam began panicking, as the mound of trash was now hovering ominously over him and he had no clue what to do with it. Stepping out of the way, he blindly called out the first move to come to mind:
"Uhhhh Frenzy.....Plant?!"
Without missing a beat, Meganium let out a surprisingly loud call and stomped furiously with its two front legs. Columns of thick vines immediately shot out of the ground, forming a large cradle, then wrapping around the garbage pile. Sam desperately covered his head bracing himself for the impact, but it didn't come.
"HUH?!! That worked?......kinda...."
In place of the garbage piles on the ground, the crude looking cradle made from Frenzy Plant proudly stood there, wrapped around a heaping ball of garbage, leaking some suspicious looking liquid and a few moldy items on the sides.

 

[JadeStar]

Mary followed the lovely Magnezone all the way to the designated spot. When she arrived she looked around, it was perfect and no signs of anyone using it lately. Mary set down her bag with the Dewott in it and sent out her Togetic, Toki. The flying typing chirped joyfully and began floating around the area.

"Toki! Make sure there are no wild Pokemon in here, if so, ask them to leave please." She took out her tablet and made a video call to the research team. "Hi everyone! We found the perfect spot for tons of trash! I will send the location, we will wait for you here. By the way, I was getting hungry and might go buy some food, anybody want to order something send me a message okay?"

 

[ThAtGuY101]

Alistair let out a yelp as the frenzy plant was utilized. Alistair saw the progress the frenzy plant made, and walked over to assist. Alistair began scooping more trash into the bag, if was getting heavier, and heavier. Alistair stopped, Come on out Farad!" Alistair said, "EEEELLLL!" the eelektross, Farad roared as it came out its ball. "Lets move some of this trash!" Alistair said. "EEELLL!" Farad moved around, using its tail to make big piles to be scooped into bags. Farad began shaking its body to get any dirt off of it. "Nice one Farad" Alistair said.

 

[mz1]

"Eelektross....Megaium....Reuniclus....all with relatively low speed stats. Yeah this should speed things up. Trick Room!"
Sam waved to Reuniclus and it nodded once more, cupping its gelatinous hands together, redirecting its power to form a small cube of mysterious energy. Tossing the cube in the air, Reuniclus began to glow like before, staring down the floating cube. With a sudden thrust of the psychic Pokemon's arms, the cube began to expand, surrounding the entire clean up team. A strange tingly sensation filled Sam and he shuddered slightly:
"I'll never get used to this; Anyways, let's kick things into second gear so we can finish and go eat!"
Meganium and Reuniclus cheered determinedly, now moving at near double speeds from the Trick Room.

 

[ThAtGuY101]

Farad began tossing large heaps of trash into the open bags. Alistair laid underneath the trash bag as the weight from the last bundle of trash, that Farad tossed in was now too much for Alistair to Carry. He say there for a few seconds before Farad, startled moved the trash bag to the side. Meanwhile Watt and Volt were cheerfully tossing old tin cans around at eachother, and occasionally tossing them in bags.

Alistair needed to take a few breaks every so often since this was far more manual labor that Alistair ever did. Alistair was so glad that Farad did an amazing job helping with the trash, even Watt and Volt managed to pitch in as well.

~Time skip...~

"Good job Farad, take a nice rest" Alistair said. Farad of course was happy to have a rest. The trash was now finished and the group would now be heading to deal with the next task on their agenda, "Wh-wh-what were we supposed to do now? I hope its not phySICALly exHAUSting" Alistair's voice cracked as he nervously spoke. Alistair cleared his threat and tried to pretend like it never happened. Alistair pulled out his phone to see if he could where their next location was.

~Destination...~

Alistair had spent half of the time driving, staring over his shoulder. Half of the time he drove 80 miles an hour, but would freak out and drop to 5 miles an hour. However the fear of law enforcement would cause him to freak out and stomp the gas pedal back to 80 miles an hour again. This alternated the entire drive.

As they reached their destination Alistair saw Mary and Neon and was driving atleast 90 miles an hour directly towards them. Alistair was panicking but made sure to wave at them. He stomped the breaks and turned the wheel which caused the truck to rotate as he avoided them. The truck eventually stopped and Alistair ran outta the truck, tripping and rolling across the ground. Alistair got up, "What are we gonna do with this truck?! Why did we ever go through with this plan?! Bad idea!!" Alistair said pacing back and forth.

He eventually managed to calm down enough to help get the trash outta the backend of the truck. Watt and Volt were dragging two small grocery bags filled with trash. "Pii pii!" Watt cheered. "Mii mii!"Volt cheered as they dragged the small bags. Alistair was right behind them dragging a larger trash bag. Amp simply followed Alistair around, happy as can be.

 

[mz1]

Sam half-stumbled out of the truck clumsily, clearly having difficulty pulling his unusually large backpack out the door. Meanwhile, Reuniclus, who chose to follow the truck with its Trick Room instead of riding inside, hovered above cheerfully. Raising both of its arms, the psychic Pokemon carefully levitated several of the (now crudely amputated) vines from the Frenzy Plant attack that still held large balls of garbage. Electing to ignore the fact that a few of the cradles were slightly leaking garbage and that one of them seemed to be smoking, Sam high-fived Reuniclus and exclaimed:

"Perfect! ......I really hope our next mission is more fun though......like an eating competition......or a mattress testing job"

 

[JadeStar]

Mary sat down next to her bag and Toki, waiting for the trash to finally arrive. She was satisfied when she saw the big truck filled with trash but then remembered that it WAS trash. She moved her bag to a safe location, a half built room and watched from the torn down window. She waved at the ones managing the truck with a big smile.

"Dump it all in the center! I go us some masks over here so you don't have to stand the smell!" Mary called out, holding up a bag filled with pink masks, it was the only color left.

Toki gently tapped Mary's shoulder and then pointed towards the street. Mary's joy turned to panic as she saw hordes of Grimer, Muk, Koffing and Wheezing heading quickly towards the site. She turned towards the group and waved her arms desperately, trying to get their attention.

"Hurry! It's working!" Mary called out as loud as she could.

 

[ThAtGuY101]

Alistair dragged another bag on top of the pile. He then wiped the sweat off his forehead. Watt and Volt mimicked Alistair's action despite them not having sweat on their foreheads. A strange noise could be heard, Alistair turned to see muk, grimer, koffing, and wheezing heading in their direction, "Arceus pokeballs! It is time to get the distortion world outta here!" Alistair said running past all his friends to get to safety. Alistair knew he didn't have to be the fastest person, just as long as he wasn't the slowest. Alistair hid behind a street light, and had his plusle and minun on his shoulders. He waited to see whether or or they should continue running or not. Alistair looked at the others, and hoped they'd get to safety too. Alistair returned Amp to its pokéball.

 

[mz1]

Sam, seeing Alistair bolt away, just stood there for a second, a bit puzzled, until finally noticing the huge crowd of poison Pokemon creeping in towards the site.
"oh.......shit. Quick Reuniclus, RUN RUN RUN!"
Reuniclus had spotted the mob at about the same time as Alistair, so the psychic Pokemon was already long gone, hiding besides its new friends. Knowing there was no way in hell he'd be able to outrun so many Pokemon, especially considering the gargantuan backpack that he was lugging, Sam quickly reached into his bag and tugged out an unusually large frozen pizza, lobbing it at the incoming attackers with all his might, hoping to stall for time.
"Special attack! Decoy Digiorno's!"
With this, Sam took off at full speed, not daring to look back, searching desperately for a place to hide.

 

[JadeStar]

"OVER HERE!" Mary called out desperately to her teammates.

She looked through the unfinished window from the small roofless room she was standing in. The hordes of poison Pokemon were surrounding the entire area and the need to fight over the food in front of them could be seen in their eyes. Even Toki's cheerful attitude disappeared as she felt the violent atmosphere gather around. Mary noticed that her friends were not going to make it however, because of the big group of Pokemon. Mary closed her eyes and processed her options, think of the best way to help her team.

The young photographer threw a Pokeball in the air and an Empoleon came out, looking big and strong. "Henry, Surf!" Mary called out.

The big water type summoned a wave that rushed through the group and made a path for Mary's friends to rush through. However the Pokemon seemed more upset and seemed to be getting ready to attack anyone passing by. "Once my friends, I mean, colleagues, are safe, I'll take some pictures." Mary thought to herself.

 

[ThAtGuY101]

"I'm too beautiful to die this way!" Alistair said as he ran over to roofless building Mary was at. Alistair ran inside the building and was standing behind Mary like a human shield. "Safe at last" Alitair said. Watt and Volt were safely on Alistair's shoulders, and the rest of his pokémon were in their pokéballs. Alistair let out a sigh, "So glad they aren't here for us" Alistair said.

"But what if they are here for us?! You fool! You doomed us all! We're sitting cattle in this building!... Though they are after the trash... Alistair you are trash, you filthy degenerate! Your totally gonna die!..." Alistair thought to himself. He paused mid thought as he couldn't argue there. Alistair stood there silently hoping they wouldn't come after them, but if they did. Alistair hoped his death would be quick and hopefully painless.

 

[Alternate_Mystery]

A grey hooded girl, Ozona, had just been sent in to see about this poison overpopulation issue, and it certainly didn't take long for her to see the huge crowd of said Pokemon heading towards some area. She had landed in a area closer to the city's entrance on Cookie, and had withdrawn him so Oreo could come check this out. She pulled her hood down and approached the group, attempting to think up a diversion but not having much luck. Oreo seemed to be more wise, and used a Bullet Seed in a separate direction from the group of Poison types in hopes it would do anything. Ozona quietly sighed upon not realising that sooner. The fact said Bullet Seed was powered up by Skill Link made it simpler, although time would be needed to see if it worked.

 

[JadeStar]

Mary noticed the new arrival and waved at her before she noticed the Pokemon noticing them and started attacking the small building they were using as shelter. Mary quickly went into panic since battling was not her strong point. However, escaping was not a good idea, since running would cause the Pokemon to chase them.

"Henry! Use surf to keep them away, I will try and get some photos!" Mary called out to her Empoleon as she climbed one of the walls, she needed a high location to get a good shot at all the Pokemon.

"Cover me!" She yelled at her team as she struggled to climb.

 

[ThAtGuY101]

Alistair let out a feminine high pitch scream when he heard the pokémon attacking the building, and began throwing random objects at the pokémon. A chair, a cardboard box, a brick, a paper weight, a torn shoe, a metal apple, and even a coat hanger. Whatever was in arms reach, he threw it.

He attempted to climb the interior side of the wall, but failed miserably. Alistair watched Mary attempt to climb then use surf, "ugh-ugh-ugh um ugh errr ummm uugh nnnnghhh ah errr hmmm uuuugh ooooohhh the things I do for science" Alistair muttered in his normal voice. He hesitantly looked at his pokéball, "Come on out...Ohm!" Alistair said. "Goooool" the alolan golem cheered. She hugged Watt, Volt, and Alistair simultaneously. "Owowowowowowowowow! Ohm your gonna kill us before they do!" Alistair tried to breathe air. Watt and Volt were equally squeezed. Ohm turned, "use rock blast!" Alistair said hoping to back Mary up.
