Seeing Allen's boastful challenge of his own, Mikhayu leaped off the Steelix and rallied several soldiers around the child.
Very well, Trainer! See your foolishness in action!
The girl was clearly shrouded in a shadowy aura as she gave an order to the other Trainers under her command, as well as their Pokemon.
All of you! Spread out! Do not fight non-combatants; take them captive instead! Fight whoever resists with attacks of their own! You have permission to faint everything that dares contest you!
The timid child from early seemed to have faded with the shadowy aura's emergence. She hovered just inches off the ground as she took a powerful stance before Allen, fully ready to engage him.
Allen is challenged by NRE Commandant Mikhayu!
She launched a Poke Ball from her belt with shadowy energy, the ball hurtling forward in a straight line before her at fastball speeds, as if thrown by a world-class baseball pitcher.
NRE Commandant Mikhayu sent out Mimikyu! |000---|
The small creature looked up at the Tyrantrum before it and seemed ready to fight as it let out several unsettling noises. A shadowy aura flared around it with intensity.
Several of the Trainers wearing armor engaged the soldiers with their Pokemon at their side. With the armor and the weapons proving to be a good match for the guns brought forth by the UPL forces, the shadow infused equipment seemed to pose a significant threat. Even the arrows fired by the Trainers with bows were able to turn UPL Trainers into pincushions relatively easily. Of course, several NRE Trainers also were taken down by actual gunshots. Over several minutes, the fighting had spread down the streets and to the docks, creating a dangerous warzone everywhere one looked. Touko and James would both be challenged by NRE Trainers relatively frequently, forcing them to have to begin fighting off the Trainers, oftentimes in groups.
Giselle would find herself, and the Trainers with her, approached by a well-dressed man. He looked like a butler of some kind, given his coat and slacks. He adjusted a smooth silk glove as focused his handsome features on Giselle and the Trainers with her. At his side, other NRE personnel would engage with the Trainers that she had with her, leaving the butler to Giselle. At his side, a navy and white bipedal Pokemon with a white face, rounded head, and pear-shaped body stood. It had white hands and feet, each with three digits. It also had downward turned spiral horns, pink markings above its eyes, and a white body with darker legs. It resembled a maid to a tee.
He bowed ever so properly to Giselle, and likewise, the bipedal creature bowed as well.
Mine own apologies in advance, lady of kind. I've not official quarrel with thee, but thou are versus milord's intentions and desires, thus thou must be swiftly aside put with nary a delay.
Giselle is challenged by NRE Serviteur!
The butler extended his hand forward to point at Giselle and her Venomoth.
NRE Serviteur sent out Indeedee! |00----|
Without a further word, the bipedal creature jumped forward and prepared itself for battle with another bow and an angry expression.
Shortly after she begins running in James' given directions, Tommelise quickly finds herself blocked by a Trainer who seemed to be her age. The young girl rode a large avian Pokemon resembling a raven. Most of its body was a lustrous black, but its lower beak and legs had a matte color. Its feathers seemed to be tempered with steel, and its mantle, breast, belly, flanks, and scapular feathers were smooth and resembled plate armor. Its talons, head, and upper beak were also similarly armored. It had a crest above its eyes that resembled a crown, and a ruff of feathers on its throat resembled a beard. Its eyes had white pupils, red irises, and black sclerae. As it landed before the fleeing Tommelise, the large avian let out a loud and screeching caw as the Trainer hopped off its back.
Landing solidly, the Trainer strutted forward in her outfit that was similar to a Mega Diancie. The shadow diamond mail cuirass was worn over a sleeved blouse, along with a miniskirt designed in emulation of Mega Diancie's "dress", opera gloves, a morion helmet, and thigh-high heeled boots with a modest heel. Despite her appearance, she had a confident smile.
Yo! Are you fleeing already? You don't have to be so skittish there. Don't worry, I won't bite.
The girl giggled.
My name is Lyerre, and I'm going to go ahead and pretend I'm battling you now. See, I have this lance...
She fetched a long polearm from a sheath on the large avian's side.
...and I'm going to use it. Like, really use it, if you get what I'm saying. Then I'll capture you. Okay? You'll be safe during the whole process, and I'll drop you off outside the city, okay? I'm on your side.
She even fetched a Poke Ball as she hopped back onto the large avian.
Don't hold back, girl!
Tommelise is challenged by NRE Bataille Lyerre!
The girl tossed the Poke Ball forward as she readied her lance at her side.
NRE Bataille Lyerre sent out Purrloin! |00----|
The small cat landed on the ground and stood up, looking cute as they always did. It even mewed as it sized up Tommelise.
