Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Yep," Night said, sitting back and continuing to enjoy her drink. She had to admit it, this was a bit stronger than what she was used to. Not that the hybrid was complaining. It was doing it's job of making her forget perfectly.

"Probably train," Night said, finally downing her first glass and immediately pouring herself another. This time reaching for the rum rather than tequila, "After Tatsu gets better, of course. Cause I will not be caught off guard again like I was with Nascour."

"Take it you've crossed paths with him before?" Night asked taking a quick swallow from her newly filled glass, "In any case, yeah. I was lucky enough to take his high and mighty a** solo. Which explains Tatsu's current condition." She tilted her glass up again, this time for a longer time than usual, before continuing, "But, I can guarantee that we will never hear from him again."

"Oh, you're more than welcome to, of course," Night said, tilting her head slightly, "But I'll likely be training around here. Just so I'll have a place close by if I need it."

"A Steel type huh...that could work...say, don't you have a Rhydon?" Sub asked Dan. "That would be even better." Said the trainer, afterwards though he began to feel unconformable as the rustling in the woods began to get louder. "Yeah, we better make this quick." Sub said as he saw a thunderbolt seem to hit the ground somewhere in the woods. "Pikachu tails act as lightning rods too, we may have even more of a problem on our hands."

As the Rhydon held up the Zapdos Heart the thunderclouds above began to roar with thunder, the Pikachu began to twitch their tails in response as they stared at the gem, their cheeks sparking as they did. "I hope this works..." Sub said eying the Pikachu. It was then that a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed, coming down towards Rhydon, but in the split second that it appeared a Pikachu leaped out of the trees and absorbed the lightning bolt in mid air, landing on the ground crackling with electricity and hissing.

"Pika!" Shouted the Pikachu as several more leaped out of the trees, surrounding the two Snagems, their Pokemon, and more importantly, the Zapdos Heart. "I knew it wouldn't be this easy." Sub said with a grunt. "Piii...kaaa...CHU!" Chimed the electrical rodents as they charged energy and fired off a group Thundershock at the Snagems.

The Pikachu were batted away like tennis balls, all flying away in different directions, some fired off Thundershocks back at their attackers as they did, though Shark would be unaffected. "Good job Shark, Diva, now we just need another bolt...come on..." Sub said looking up in the air. The Pikachu wouldn't stop there though as some raced back and began to slam into their attackers with their Quick Attacks, they wanted near that gem, badly.

"Hey! Looks like we might get another, maybe." Sub said as the thunder began to roar again, granted it was never a sure sign of lightning to come but hey, it was something. And something it was, a bolt of lightning crashed down towards Viridian Forest, but it wasn't the Rhydon it struck, no, it struck several yards in front of the Rhydon where a very angry looking Raichu stood. "Rai rai!" Hissed the Raichu. "A Raichu? I wasn't aware they were in this forest. Perhaps it's the leader of the Pikachu here, looks big enough." Sub said commenting on its slightly larger than normal size, both height and weight wise.

"Raichu!" Shouted the rodent as it speedily ran towards Goliath, once close it would leap into the air, do a front flip, and attempt to slam its silver glowing tail down on the Rock type. "Wait a minute...Iron Tail? And it's a Raichu? I get a feeling this is no wild Raichu." Sub said with a glare.

The Raichu was strong, it fought against the Psychic as it attempted to slam its tail on Rhydon, which it did swing when ti was close enough but it was right after thrown away, if it hit or not was unknown to it. As for the Pikachu they would gather around the Raichu as it hit the ground and all began to crackle with electricity as they gathered up. "Well this isn't looking pretty..." Sub commented.

The sky above meanwhile was rumbling, another lightning bolt was coming. "I'm tired of these rodents! I won't let them steal a third! I'm sorry Goliath, try to hold your ground, this is all I can think of that will work right now. Auguste! Use Earthquake!" Sub called out, his Krookodile then let out a angry roar as it slammed its thick tail on the ground, sending a shock wave of energy through it as it began to shack violently, causing the rodents to topple over, ceasing their charging and hurting them.

And Sub couldn't have acted at a better time as a lightning bolt dropped down from the sky, headed straight down for Goliath, hopefully the Rhydon was able to stay on its feet despite the earth underneath it moving around, Sub really hoped he did.
