She understood that there was no choice, with the rocket reign and the rules in place. It was either stay underground, or risked getting caught and thrown in jail. The jail part she wasn't too iffed about, just the fact that she may get her pokemon taken away from her. Athriel especially, was akin to being her whole life. Alisa may be independent, but she adored her pokemon to death, their little antics never failing to bring a smile to her face. All of her team had a hardy and willing to fight attitude, raring for battle and settling for nothing less then the best. In her opinion at least, they were the best team she could find, and she knew that she would fight to death for them, and vice versa. As such, Alisa was quite unwilling to take any chances of her team being taken away from her, and deign herself to training in the resistance's underground area, a dingy and dark place that gave Alisa the shivers every time she entered it. But use it she must, for they had no choice. It was the place least likely to risk detection by the rocket members, grunt or otherwise, and she wanted to feel safe rather then free. At the very least, she wouldn't be panicking at every little sound, turning in to an overbearing mother hen collecting her pokemon to her chest so they wouldn't get taken away from her. But Alisa was adventurous. She's always had that streak in her, and whilst she's tried her hardest to resist it, once in a while someones resistance will wear down. Which would be the reason why the evening saw Alisa strolling along a less traveled path in the Viridian forest. She had just spent the afternoon in the underground training center, watching over the newbies and less experienced training, providing pointers and the like. By her fifth hour though, the girl was feeling thoroughly trapped and suffocated, so she escaped to take her braviary all the way to the forest, where a breath of fresh air immediately brought a smile to her face. For one afternoon, she wanted to train where she would feel the wind on her face, the natural breeze and hear the rustling of the leaves. With her Hades keeping watch above, circling the skies with orange and purple streaks running across signalling a late hour, Alisa now stood at the edge of a small clearing she had found. It was off the well worn path, and crossing her fingers, she had hoped no one would stumble across her as she released most of her pokemon, leaving only her vicious houndoom Judas contained. Judas didn't complain, and Alisa left it at that. While the houndoom was horribly loyal to Alisa ever since she saved it from a horrible drop from a cliff, Judas had a thirst for battle and blood, and while he was her powerhouse, she usually left him for last, knowing how fiercely and violently he fought. Instead, she released her axew and espeon, Rinjin and Artemis for their training. Athriel was released too, but the aloof Absol kept silent, lying down next to where Alisa stood, eyes alert as he watched the training battle between the two younger ones of Alisa's team, occasionally letting out a soft call when he wanted to advice them on something, his red eyes watchful. "Artemis, I want you to help Rinjin in his speed. Rinjin, you need to move faster to dodge Artemis's attacks okay? Go easy on him, but go fast." she instructed the espeon, both of her pokemon calling out their agreement before Alisa stood back and watched as the psychic pokemon jumped high in the air, using a last resort against the little axew. "Rinjin, counter that with dragon claw, quick!" Alisa instructed quickly, watching as the Axew nodded curtly. His talons began glowing blue, and the dragon pokemon aimed it above his head as Artemis began descending heavily on Axew. [/style]

From the tenseness of his shoulders, to the angry pounding of his feet, to the grimace that distorted his features, the boy was obviously fuming. How dare they kick him out like that, the insolent bastards! He was an Executive of the almighty Team Rocket, not some pathetic grunt begging for attention. Okay, perhaps he was too proud to wear the uniform, and managed to loose his ID on a regular basis. But his glittering ruby eyes, filled with malice, usually got him whatever he wanted. But no, that damn Pokemon Center was denying him the right to stay the night. Something about refusing services to shady characters? The fools! He ought to turn them in as resistance members, scorning an Executive like that... A small squeak in his ear woke Ryuu from his silent rant, and his head snapped around to stare at the small creature perched upon his shoulder. The little fire mouse cocked its head to the side, peering at its trainer with a rather worried expression. Having known its master for so long, it could tell that he was upset. It chirped again, a single paw reaching out to gently poke him in the cheek. The human's gaze softened at that, knowing that it was not Tyche's fault. "'m fine, sweetie." He crooned to her, reaching up with one hand to pet her fondly. "Just... Frustrated, s'all." The Cyndaquil made an odd sound, as if it didn't believe him, but didn't press the matter further. Instead, it butted its head up against his -just as a cat might do- before snuggling into his black leather jacket. He allowed the creature a strained smile, before turning his gaze back onto the path ahead of him. Quite where he was going, he didn't know. He just needed a nice, peaceful clearing to blow off some steam. Last time he'd been this upset, he'd set a building on fire, nearly burned down the entire structure. The stunt had earned him plenty of punishments from the Rocket Admins, and he’d only just managed to get back in their good graces. If he wanted to keep his job- and, by extension, his life- he had to lay low for a while. Not easy for someone with a temper quite like his, but he could manage... Besides, his team hadn't had a good fight in a while. He couldn't have them going soft from a long vacation, and some training was long overdue. With an irritated sigh, he halted his pacing, one hand flickering to his belt. A bright red flash shone briefly through the forest as he released the fastest of his Pokemon. "Alala." He barked, the sharp sound immediately bringing the Rapidash to attention. "We're gonna do some trainin'. Find us someplace good, ya hear?" The horse let out an excited snort, stamping a foot into the forest floor. Ryuu's hand flickered out, lightly gripping the creature's side before swinging himself up in one fluid movement. A soft word of encouragement, and the horse was thundering off, pounding hooves echoing dully against the soft ground. How long they kept going, the Executive wasn't quite sure. All he knew was that they were practically flying through the trees. The raw power of the animal surging beneath him was giving him an incredible high, the sort of which that could only be achieved by the knowledge that you were, for the moment, completely and utterly untouchable. The Cyndaquil clutching his shoulder for dear life didn't exactly agree with the sentiment, but no matter. All he cared about for now was this incredible feeling of pure, unbridled strength... And then, just as suddenly as it had begun, their wild flight came screeching to a halt. The stop was so sudden that it threw the magnificent horse back on its haunches, almost throwing its two riders. A long stream of curses falling from his lips, Ryuu slid off the beast's back, whirling on it with fury etched upon his face. "Now what the hell was that for?" He snapped, taking a threatening step towards the Rapidash. It shook its mighty head in something near panic, but before anything unpleasant could befall the poor thing, Tyche chirped from the master's shoulder. Its gaze was fixed firmly on something behind the trees... A wicked grin flashing across his face, he took several slow, lazy steps forward, Alala trailing right behind. Remaining blissfully ignorant of the massive eagle circling overhead, he strode forward, soon breaking the cover of the trees. "Well, well, well." He crooned mockingly, blood-red eyes shining with sadistic amusement. Cruel gaze fixed firmly on the training before him, he couldn't help but let a small smirk settle across his face.

It had been so long since Alisa had had the chance to let the Braviary stretch it wings, that as much as Hades adored his mistress, the moment he was released from within the confines of his pokeball, the raptor pokemon had spread his wings with a loud screech, and had remained airborned ever since. He was supposed to keep watch for Alisa, he knew he was. Hades was the only flier and the best watchbird his mistress could summon, and at any other time, the braviary would do his best at keeping his mistress protected. Yet at this point in time, having freedom after so long of confinement and being trained only in a contained area, Hades's attention was distracted as he soared. It wasn't until the rustle beneath caught his attention, did he realize that someone had slipped by his guard. The second the rapidash had crashed through the brush and frightened her Axew in to jumping right back in her arms, Alisa had called stops to her mock battle, and watched in horror, first at being discovered by who she was suspecting to be a team rocket member, and then the horror was changed to that of how he treated his pokemon. Alisa cringed along with the Rapidash's panic, and wondered just how could their pokemon even want to follow their bidding, before her logical mind took over again, reminding her this was no time for feeling sympathy to a rocket's pokemon, as much as she wanted to take his out of his supposedly evil clutches. Recalling Rinjin in to his pokemon, her eyes glinted with a stubborn, challenging light as she returned his smirk with a grin of her own, one that was more defiant then cheerful. Watching silently as Athriel leapt from his position next to Alisa to join Artemis in snarling at the intruder, the two pokemon had their hackles raised. Inconspiciously signalling at Hades to remain in the air, the girl crossed her arms in front of her chest, and shrugged. "Unless you happen to be blind, you can see that I've been training." Alisa retorted glibly, noting with satisfaction at the corner of his eye how Hades soared higher to dissapearin the cloud. The girl did like having a hidden trump card. "Rules are meant to be broken, ya know." [/style]

The pathetic little lizard hopping into her arms, panicked; the snarling of her remaining Pokemon; her expression of growing horror. Man, it had been a while since he'd nabbed a trainer. He had forgotten how satisfying their terror truly was. For a moment, he entertained himself with the fantasy that she was just a novice. Perhaps she'd give herself up, spare him the tedious fight. Oh, he'd win, of course, but at what cost? If he managed to burn down a place as commonly-visited as Viridian Forest, he was going to get more than a few stern words. Annoying as they were, the Rocket admins could be... difficult, at times. If the girl saw his power and turned herself in, it would spare everyone quite a bit of pain. Her harsh, defiant words quickly scattered his daydream. "My, my." The boy chuckled quietly, the soft tone more ominous than if he had been shouting. "Ain't we feisty?" A wicked light of amusement danced across his crimson orbs, and he began another smooth advance forward. "Ya know... S'always much more fun when they resist..." The Executive mused to himself. And it really was true. Sure, he'd get a bunch of other Rockets on his case. But to see the defeat of a proud creature, lying broken and helpless on the ground... Yes, it was far more entertaining when they struggled. "'m sorry to burst your bubble, m'dear, but to be honest, I've never cared much for rules." He halted suddenly, a sadistic grin painting his face. "Especially the ones 'bout takin' in Resistance alive." Sensing the hidden threat in the words, the Rapidash inched slowly forward. The most good-natured of Ryuu's team, it had never truly enjoyed hurting Pokemon who simply wanted to train. But the master's orders were the master's orders, and besides, it was feeling a bit rusty. A nice little spar was sounding pretty good at the moment. Mind made, it closed its eyes, psyching itself up for the fight and letting its tense muscles relax. It had to stay light on its feet: it was far outnumbered. [Rapidash used Agility!] That done, it's eyes snapped open, shining with a new determination. Several long strides brought it even with its master, who gave it an approving glance from the corner of his eye. "Ah. S'ppose we're ready, then." Words dripping with confidence, he put his hands in his pockets, rocking back slowly on his heels. "Well, my darlin' rebel, you might as well take the first move. S'not like there's any escape." Ruby orbs glittering with mischief, he fixed his gaze on his opponent, curious as to what she'd do first.[/style] [STYLE=color: #6f6363; border-left: 2px solid #610B0B; width: 380px; text-align: justify; padding-left: 5px; font-size: 11px; margin-top: 0px; font-family: arial; line-height: 1]note: meh. rambled again. >_< i'll get better, i swear.[/style] [STYLE=color: #6f6363; border-left: 2px solid #610B0B; width: 380px; text-align: justify; padding-left: 5px; font-size: 11px; margin-top: 0px; font-family: arial; line-height: 1]credits: made by amayayaya of BTN[/style]

Alisa wondered if all of the rocket members took a sadistic pleasure in taking away the most favorite past time of almost every kid in the pokemon regions, and keeping it only for themselves. Selfish, really. But oh wel, let him delude himself in to thinking Alisa was thoroughly scared, the girl thought that he could use a setdown or two anyway. She had no doubt that even if she couldn't win him (she didn't particularly want to let Judas out and burn Viridian forest down, and she didn't fancy having a drawn out battle either), she could at least give him a good scare. Keeping Hades in the clouds, her brows cocked at his wicked tone, and Alisa smirked at him, one that almost mirrored his own previous smirk as she rolled her eyes, shrugging. "At least on that, you and I agree. Though we'll see who crawls out of the forest alive." she retorted with a confident jerk of her head. As if responding to an unspoken common, her Espeon ran from where she stood just a fair bit behind the snarling Absol, and leapt on to him to vault herself higher in the air, bringing the tiny feline on par with the Rapidash's eyes. The moment she was there, Artemis's eyes glowed purple, using psychic in her attempt to control the fire horse pokemon, limiting his movements. At the same time, Athriel depended on the Espeon to keep the Rapidash mobile, jumped as the black crescent on the side of his head glowed purple. With a jerk of his head, two crescent glowing blades shot out, directed directly at the Rapidash. Whilst all of them were busy with their attention on the battle however, Alisa smirked behind, and jerked a finger at her ever watchful Braviary, just waiting for her command. Alisa had noticed the fire mouse pokemon perched on his shoulder, and he didn't seem to treat her as he did his rapidash. Noting her command, Hades immediately dropped from the skies. The Braviary's movements were speeded up as he used brave bird, diving down like a missle. Its body burst in to flames, wings folded tightly in to its body as he aimed for the man. At the last possible second, Hades extended his claws, slamming in to the man as he attempted to clasp his claws around the cyndaquil, gently but firmly taking hold of the baby pokemon before flying away, screeching as the recoil damage hurt him, crackling along his wings. Soaring high up in the air again to avoid people capturing him, Hades turned down as Alisa saw her two pokemon surroudning her again, both Artemis and Athriel on defensive, and gave a triumphant smirk at the rocket member, before signalling for Hades to drop the Cyndaquil in her arms.

This girl was practically the embodiment of the rebellion. They'd see who "crawled out alive"? Ryuu had to admit, he admired her style. "S'a pity ya chose to be a rebel. You'd a made quite the Rocket..." He mused quietly to himself, seemingly oblivious of the battle that was currently raging. That's how cocky he was, how completely and utterly confident that his Pokemon could be victorious. Even when outnumbered two-to-one, there was no doubt in his mind that Alala would pull through. The Executive didn't accept wimps onto his team, and that Rapidash of his was one of the very best. Meanwhile, said Rapidash was starting to have second thoughts. It had a primal hatred of psychics- being a creature of speed and strength, it looked down upon their constant trickery. Thus, when the tiny pink cat struck at his mind, it seriously started to freak out. It found its concentration waning, its muscles trembling, and, worst of all, its legs stiffening. If it couldn't run, if it lost the agility that had won it so many fights... It was way beyond screwed. So it was with a hint of panic that its regal head whipped forward in an attempt to drive its massive horn into the Espeon's side, break its opponent's concentration and get it the hell away. [Rapidash used Megahorn!] A moment later, shocking pain lanced through its shoulder as a slice of pure air slashed at the muscle. It seemed like its struggle had allowed hit to avoid the first attack, but the second one had hit, dead on. The sensation was enough to break its concentration, and the Rapidash let out a shrill bugle as the Psychic grew even harder to resist. Its struggles grew ever weaker as it stood there, quivering. The only thing to do was wait to see if its attack had landed, and hope beyond all hope that perhaps the Master would have mercy on for falling for such a simple trick... Hearing his Pokemon's cry, Ryuu's hard mask flickered for a moment. "Ya idjit. Dun let some psychic beat ya!" He snapped angrily. "I know for a fact ya're too freakin' hard-headed to be broken that easily. Inferno, dumbass!" The Rapidash didn't really need to move its legs much to spew flames, did it? It was a shame that the forest would get burned down, but that was unavoidable. He'd deal with the admins later... The Cyndaquil on his shoulder eyed him disapprovingly, but the Executive simply rolled his eyes at her. He was only distracted for a moment before turning his gaze back to Alisa- just in time to see her smirk and wave her finger. "The hell-?" But before he could call out another Pokemon (or even finish a comprehensible sentence), the Braviary struck. Though it'd been aimed at Tyche, the force of the attack was enough to send Ryuu rolling backwards, head over heels. Tyche squealed pathetically in the bird's grasp, and the Executive's eyes grew impossibly wide. Scrambling back onto his feet with a long stream of curses, he barked at his Pokemon. "Alala! Cut the Inferno!" The Pokemon immediately shut its mouth, cutting off the flames that were about to envelope the forest. Confused, it tried to turn and look at its Master, but, paralyzed as it was, had to make do with twitching an ear in his general direction. Yet, it was pretty hard for the Rapidash to miss the loud flurry of insults coming from its Master's mouth... "She had absolutely nothin' to do with this. Give. Her. Back." Ryuu was practically snarling, blood-red eyes glittering in fury. All the previous cunning in his voice disappeared instantly in favor of pure, unbridled rage. "Drop the Cyndaquil, now. Else this entire clearin' goes up in flames!"[/style] [STYLE=color: #6f6363; border-left: 2px solid #610B0B; width: 380px; text-align: justify; padding-left: 5px; font-size: 11px; margin-top: 0px; font-family: arial; line-height: 1]note: sorry for the wait...[/style] [STYLE=color: #6f6363; border-left: 2px solid #610B0B; width: 380px; text-align: justify; padding-left: 5px; font-size: 11px; margin-top: 0px; font-family: arial; line-height: 1]credits: made by amayayaya of BTN[/style]

Take on their despicable view on life? The sprity girl would rather get burnt and buried before she did that, really. As good as he could be in his battling, Alisa wasn't all too bad either. She hadn't been training for the past four or so years for nothing afterall, and her pokemon were very good at what they do. With the exception of Rinjin, her little baby who needed much training even if he was promising, every other pokemon on her team was agile and quick, two traits Alisa had been sure to enforce in them, if they were to be part of her team. Being part of the resistance required them to be quick afterall. Her little confident grin had grown as she watched Artemis wrought her well trained and very potent psychic on the Rapidash, stopping the equine in his tracks. The espeon had landed on the ground after she had launched her attack, her eyes still glowing a purple as she made her the equine didn't get out of her way, but her concentration wavered as the Absol above her let out a loud cry when he had jumped to execute his psycho cut, and got intercepted by Rapidash's attack in his desperate attempt to shield his sweetheart from getting the brunt of the attack. Falling and skidding to his side, Athriel snarled as he got up, shaking his body once to get the dirt off his white pelt, hackles raised despite having been dealt damage. By then though, Hades had circled closer to Alisa, carefully but narrowly avoiding the girl so his large wings wouldn't harm his mistress, the large bird dropped the trapped Cyndaquil in Alisa's outstretched hands, to which the girl immediately clasped her fingers gently but firmly around the fire mouse pokemon so it wouldn't have a chance to squirm out of her grasp. As much as Alisa didn't want to hurt Pokemon, she didn't really want her bargaining chip to run off either. So the girl instead crooned softly to the Cyndaquil, attempted to rub her fingers over the young pokemon's belly, as one of her hazel eyes slid upwards to slyly watch her opponent's reaction, which was of course, playing right in to her expectations. "Artemis, come back here. Athriel, stand down." Alisa commanded when she saw that Ryuu had ceased his attack. The espeon immediately let up on her psychic to back up towards Alisa, and in turn the Absol, although angry, did as commanded. Turning back to stalk towards Alisa, the white pokemon gave the small cat a light lick of affection, and glanced once at Alisa to make sure she hadn't been harmed, before he turned one watchful, red eye on to Ryuu again as Alisa spoke in response to his angry snarls. "If this clearing goes up in flames, Cyndaquil goes with me." Alisa replied smoothly, confidence oozing out of her words as she rubbed under Tyche's neck, aiming to soothen the Cyndaquil. Glancing down once at the mouse pokemon in her hands, she grinned sneakily. "I am a fair person though. What say you to a trade? Your Cyndaquil... for mine and my pokemon's freedom. And you're never to attempt again to trap me even if you meet me in the future. Else I think my Braviary might have another lesson to teach you." Alisa further threathened, her grin widening when Hades let out a loud, disarming screech at the reference to him. [/style]

The Rapidash, panicked as it was, threw back its head, its Megahorn catching its opponent in the side and sending the dark-type skidding backwards. For a moment, an almost-smile tugged at his lips, a sort of pride that Alala had pulled off a super-effective attack whilst in the clutches of a powerful Psychic. But the fleeting expression was gone just as quickly as his gaze went back to the girl, and the little captive she currently clutched in her arms. Said captive was scared. Terrified, actually, as this stranger was not only holding her prisoner, but also trying to touch her. Touch her! Other than the occasional pats on the head her Master afforded her, she wasn't really used to being petted. It was a new sensation, to be sure, but... She kind of liked it, in an odd sort of way. She sqeaked softly, instantly warming up to the rebel and butting her head into the girl's hand. Ryuu watched the scene with narrowed eyes, an angry scowl distorting his features. "Like a little flame's gonna hurt 'er. She's a creature of fire, dumbass. I dun take wimps." But his voice wavered slightly, lacking a bit of his trademark arrogance. Though a good number of his team were trained in the ability Flash Fire, poor little Tyche was not one of them. She'd survive an Inferno, of course, but she'd be much worse for the wear. And that was not something he was willing to inflict on his darling baby. One hand shot out to recall his Rapidash to its Pokeball, the bright red flash the only movement in the clearing as he stared down the rebel. "So lemme get this straight. I let ya go, and in return, the mouse gets out unharmed." He muttered warily, eyes locked upon the girl with laser-like intensity. "How do I know ya'll keep ya're word?" Ugh, this had to be bad. He was actually considering a bargain, rather than going directly to burning the place down. That damn Cyndaquil had him going soft...[/style] [STYLE=color: #6f6363; border-left: 2px solid #610B0B; width: 380px; text-align: justify; padding-left: 5px; font-size: 11px; margin-top: 0px; font-family: arial; line-height: 1]note: short fail post. sorry, my muse died. xD thought i might as well keep the thread going.[/style] [STYLE=color: #6f6363; border-left: 2px solid #610B0B; width: 380px; text-align: justify; padding-left: 5px; font-size: 11px; margin-top: 0px; font-family: arial; line-height: 1]credits: made by amayayaya of BTN[/style]

They knew that Alisa was virtually incapable of harming a single hair on a pokemon, but hey, the rocket didn't need to know that did he? As it is, the girl proceeded in rubbing the back of Tyche's ears, scratching it like she would a cat, but smirking as she glanced at the rocket, knowing that she looked as if she was about to strangle the Cyndaquil. Raising a brow at his brave statement, Alisa wondered if the rocket though that all of the resistance were idiots. She could see his body stance, tense and anxious, something he would not be showing if he really wasn't worried. Plus, Alisa had sharp ears, catching the slight tremble in his voice as he spoke. This wans't the arrogance she had viewed earlier, and that was enough for Alisa to keep her hold on Tyche... despite not doing much harm to her. "Pity, since your team is taking orders from one." Alisa smirked, unable to resist throwing out a barb of her own. Flipping the Cyndaquil over in her hands so she now cradled it in her arms, one hand still kept a firm but gentle hold on her, Alisa listened to the rocket speak. Artemis had sat down on her haunches by now, but the ever watchful and protective Absol still stood on his feet, wary and ever cautious. At his wary question, Alisa scoffed, and gave the rocket a look of pure disdain. "Hah. Unlike you rogues, I keep my word. Besides, I find myself have a distaste for harming innocent pokemon, and see no need to punish them just because this cute thing here is saddled with a trainer like you." the last syllable again dripped with disdain, accompanied with a dirty look at Ryuu. With that, Alisa recalled Artemis in to her pokeball, and left Hades to fly abovehead and Athriel to walk next to her, as the brunette started towards the pathway leading out of the forest. It was she who didn't trust the rocket, and she wasn't about to let the Cyndaquil she held go until she could safely get on Hades and get her Braviary to get her out of there. . [/style]
