Jessie and Wobbuffet yelped as they ducked into the desk, watching as most of it rotted from the splattered sludge that was once a two-eyed Pokemon. Chariot and Synthis, however, were thrown against a wall, barely missing getting themselves covered in the same muck and grim that made up the Pokemon.
"Ugh...right.... Need to work on controlling energy...." Chariot grunts as he stands up and stares at the new, living wallpaper. Grimer and Muks were the hardest to kill, so it would only be a matter of time before this one collected itself and attempts another attack.
He starts to look around for something to conceal it, or at least send it somewhere it won't endanger him and the other entrapped occupants, only to quickly notice a miniature chrome Pokeball with a gold pyramid sticking out the front and three ruby-colored, kidney-bean-shaped dimples surrounding it. Chariot threw a hand on the side of his helmet upon recognizing it.
"Ah, nuts! I forgot I had this!" he groused as he quickly snatches it back into his unequipped fist. He then unclenches it while taking another look at the oddly designed Pokeball.
It was one of two experiments Tarot Skitty's creator had been tinkering with to make Pokemon easier to capture and release. This one, dubbed the Summon Ball, worked like the Poke Assist, but without having to target the Pokemon in order to summon them. It can also warp Pokemon back to the last known area they appeared from.
Seeing as the Muk is no longer able to battle, Chariot figures it was more humane to send it back to wherever it came from. He presses a button, causing it to enlarge before pointing it at the splattered Sludge Pokemon.
"Return to where you last came from!" he calls out, causing a white light to shoot out, engulf the Muk and disappear into the ball. He then looks out the window to see if the Muk actually belonged to Steiner. If it did, the black band making up the center of the Pokeball would flash, indicating that the Pokemon had appeared inside.
Clefable nods as it looks towards the other Clefa and Clefairy, seeing some of them also wanting to come along to be treated for their own injuries, before turning around and pointing towards the direction of Cerluean City.
Let's hurry then! Follow me, everyone!It then bounced away, prompting the other members of its family to follow suit. Ryo, Posu and Nega stayed behind a moment before quickly following.
Dr. Wily II unbuckled his seatbelt, and let Meowth, Nurse Joy and Chansey alight first before alighting himself. He nodded at the officer's instructions, and said... "Please lead the way."
The officer doesn't do much but heads into the station, prompting the others to follow.
"How much longer are you going to stand there, brushing your afro...?" Hierophant mutters as he watches James run a paintbrush-shaped comb through said hairstyle.
"I can't help it, it's such a fluffy sensation!" James snickers as he jabs his comb into each direction and pulls it outward with no less than a flick of his wrist, "I think I'll try growing my hair out to match this style. It'll make distracting myself so much easier."
"Aren't you the least bit concerned about your Yamask? He's still hiding in your hair, you know."
Before James could protest, another jab hits Yamask in the back, causing it to yelp before popping out of the top of his afro, grabbing the comb and lobbing it at his face.
"...case in point...." Hierophant mutters as he watches the Starmie spinning circles around James' disoriented head.
The incognito Team Rocket quickly shakes himself back to his sense and turns his back towards Hierophant while crossing his arms, "Mock me all you want. It won't matter since you're still cuffed and far from reclaiming your staff."
Hierophant compresses his lips while re-tightening his furrowed eyebrows as James turns his head and readjusts his shades, "Oh, yes. I heard all about it from those gossiping officers. While they were examining you and those cards, one of them idiotically used your staff to teleport out of the room, perhaps where you'll never be able to find it!"
As he turns his head away, Hierophant attempts to readjust his elbows, causing one of the cuffs to slip open as he irks and pulls his hands in front of him to figure out how it happen, "And if I know my D&D correctly, a magic-user can't cast anything without a shiny jeweled wand pointing the way."
Hierophant looks towards the police baton sticking out of James' belt before reaching over and pulling it out, twirling it around with a curious look on his face, "So this means that as long as you don't have your precious scepter you have to do everything I-"
Hierophant eventually points the Baton at James, "Angry Blow!"
A
Lightning Rune appears on the back of his left hand, causing a swarm of sparks to bounce around him before the tip of the baton fires off a massive bolt of green lightning at James, causing him to yelp in pain while his Yamask jumps out of his afro to avoid getting caught in the surging energy.
A minute passes before the surge dissipates, leaving James a wobbling, disoriented mess with his afro even fluffier than before and still crawling with green sparks.
"Hmm.... I suppose you're right...." Hierophant mutters while twirling the baton again, "I kinda do like the sparkle my staff gives out when I'm casting spells through Jeff's card...."
"Groovy...man...." James mumbles before falling to his side in a half-conscious state.
"What was that noise just now!?" yelps a voice. Yamask yelps and jumps back into James' afro as the hastened sound of high-heels clops towards the room before the door flies open to find the Officer Jenny that was interrogating Quickie standing on the other side.
"Ugh...you again...?" she groans, "You're really not doing a good job of following protocols, you know."
"It'd probably help if the officers that caught me didn't leave the cuffs so loose...." Hierophant mutters, still twirling the baton.
