A few of the Team Rocket grunts surround Ryo, Posu and Nega, each holding a different brand of stun weapon.
"Hey! Lookie here!" one chortles, "Where're your trainers?"
"I don't see a name tag or dog collar anywhere," another chuckles, "They must be strays just waiting to be captured and turned into our loyal pets."
The third grunt points a stun stick towards Ryo, "Target the Riolu first! It'll make a fine addition to our army once it's been...coaxed into our establishment!"
Ryo yelped as he, Posu and Nega split from the oncoming stun weapons. But the Riolu didn't get far when another grunt appears in front of him and thrusts another stun stick towards him, hitting him square in the chest and filling up full of electricity, locking up every joint in his body. Several more surround Ryo and jab their own weapons into him further pumping him full of electricity and increasing the paralysis preventing him from fighting back.
Just as the grunts were about to smirk at their success, Posu and Nega flank Ryo's sides, grabbing his arm and using their electrical abilities to shift the currents onto them.
"Pli! Pli-li!" Posu shouts, getting Ryo's attention as he strains a glance towards her.
"Mi Mi!" Nega calls out, drawing Ryo's strained glance towards him.
Taking in whatever they were squeaking to him, Ryo nods and tosses the two cheering Pokemon in the air, allowing them to unleash a Discharge attack, amplified by the electrical energy unleashed by the grunt's stun weapons and their own stored electricity. Ryo watches before spreading his arms out and unleashing his own Discharge attack using both his Copycat abilities and what little electricity coursed through his systems.
"Ack! What's this!?" one of the grunts cries as the electrical storm plows through him and the other grunts, "Since when did Riolu use electricity!?"
"Its not!" another calls out, "It must be using Copycat!"
"Fall back! The weapons are only increasing the energy of their attack!"
Hierophant watched from inside, unsure of how much longer the trio can last before the grunts snap back to attention and attempt to use some other means of knocking them out. Not wanting to let that happen, he runs to the door as it slides open and pulls Ryo in, prompting Posu and Nega to follow after them.
"Hey you! Are those your Pokemon!?" startled grunt snarls as he confronts him, "You're gonna pay for interfering with our business!"
He lifts his stun pole to stab and incapacitate Hierophant only to be rammed in the gut by Synthis' Tackle attack, ramming him into the other grunts and knocking them to the ground. Hierophant compresses his lips as he brings his staff out and points it at the grunts.
"Miracle Beam!"
The orb glows brightly as a surge of white sparks surrounded the grunts standing within its glow, causing slight pain, but jarring enough of their senses to further startle them away from the Pokemon Center. Hierophant takes this time to usher Synthis back inside while backing up himself before the double doors slid shut, cutting off any further connection between his staff and the grunts affected by it.
They quickly run to Ryo as he struggles to sit up, still dazed and slightly handicapped by what little electricity continues to course through his systems. Thankfully it was a quickly dying process that would only take a few minutes of rest before he is back on his feet, giving some relief to Hierophant both for Ryo's safety and the lack of need to waste anymore magical energy for the time being.
