Gold watched as Soul managed to run over to the opening beside Silver. In the meantime, he decided that he should at least keep the Tyranitar distracted while she escaped to the city. With the idea of knocking down the Pokemon Center in full effect, Gold knew it was only a matter of time before he would use two new Pokemon: Jack and Woody. Until then, he assumed that he might as well finish off the onslaught with Queen and X, attempting to further damage the Tyranitar. Blood rolled down his right cheeks and dropped on his chin, splattering on the ground into a puddle. The coloration of the blood dispersed in the dusty water before consuming it whole and altering the brown color into a crimson dirty color. After defeating these random Team Rocket Pokemon, X and Queen stood in front of Gold again, preparing to attack. Hell, the Center was already in ruins, why not add to it? "X, Steel Wing! Queen, use your Surf afterward!"
X jumped up and glided towards Tyranitar first while Queen stayed behind, preparing herself to summon an immense load of water from beneath the earth. The Scizor's wings started to shimmer brightly before sharpening the steel on the edges. With a determined look on his face, X swooped in toward Tyranitar's gut, but the tyrant monster made an attempt to punch him. Luckily, X swooped out of harms way before piercing his wing into Tyranitar's side, causing a minor chunk of body to fall off the beast. The Pokemon roared in great pain and anger as it fired another Rock Slide towards X. The entire avalanche-like attack knocked X into the wall, completly dethroning the Scizor. An infrared beam shot at X before consuming him and sucking him back into the Pokeball that was held in Gold' hand. "Good job, X." Fortunately for the trio, Tyranitar had his back turned to where X had been slain. Queen had enough time to summon a torrent of water from beneath Tyranitar as the deep blue liquid brigade consumed the beast, toppling it over slightly. Such immense weight cause the ceiling to collapse on the ground... while Gold was still inside. By now, Queen was over with Silver and Soul's Pokemon, but Gold was on the run, limping towards the open.
With bits crumbling from the ceiling, Gold, protected his head until he stood beside Silver and Soul. Although Tyranitar had toppled over, it stood up, tossing a large chunk of ceiling across the street and slamming into the remains of the Game Corner. "Are you serious??? Now where am I going to gamble." Gold uttered sarcastically as he looked back into the partially flooded room, courtesy of Queen's Surf. Tyranitar stood in the water, ankle deep, still preparing to come at the trio and their Pokemon. Gold quickly recalled his Politoed and took out two more Pokeballs, lobbing them forward, bursting open in a bright white light. In X and Queen's place, Jack the Typhlosion and Woody the Sudowoodo took over. Jack roared loudly as his flaming collar appeared while Woody waited for instruction, a determined look on his face. "I'll start it off!" Gold stepped forward, "Flamethrower!"
Jack roared before opening his mouth and unleashing a beaming ray of flames towards the feet of Tyranitar. Because it was partially flooded in the room, Gold had the intent of bringing about steam to somewhat blind the Rocket-led Pokemon. Sure enough it worked as the water evaporated from the ground, leading the entire room to be filled with steam just as Soul's Marrill's Rain Dance had ended. "Woody, give Tyranitar a piece of its own medicine. Rock Slide!" Woody stomped the ground as boulders emerged in front of him. He thrust his branch hands forward as a fleet of rocks were flung at the Tyranitar, causing it to somewhat slide back, towards the back counter of the Pokemon Center. He looked to Soul next to see what she had in store for the Tyranitar.
(Applause to you =) )

Soul blinked as she caught Silver giving her a look, sure it was a pretty bad situation they were in but come on, no need to give her the hostile stare! She sighed a little, reminding herself that this was Silver after all, anything but a glare in her direction would be a miracle if she said so herself. Still, it kind of sucked for some reason.. Her gaze slipped away from the redhead and towards Gold, watching carefully as he continued to attack the Tyranitar with his pokémon, she stayed on the edge though, just in case he needed some sort of assistance. Her eyes looked up at the roof though, watching the damage as most of the ceiling had crumbled away on top of the beast they were fighting. All that was left of the roof now was a fairly large and loose slab hanging above the Tyranitar, held up only by a couple of pillars which she had pointed out to Silver moments before, they looked weak which was useful, considering they would be easier to knock down.
She watched as Gold came running over to her and Silver, clearly finished battling close to the Tyranitar and retreating to their safe distance away from it. Before long the two boys started to send out more pokémon, though Gold was just swapping it seemed like Silver had most, or all, of his pokémon on the battlefield right about now. The brunette gazed at Rowan and Ren, despite the Marill looking a tiny bit tired and beat up, she guessed she was simply stick with them till the time being, though she promised herself she would return Ren soon, she earned a rest after all and she didn’t want her in much more danger. As if on cue when thinking about the Marill, the rain dance slowly started to cease, Soul gazed up at the once rain cloud filled sky as it slipped away, revealing a smoky and flame filled sky from the city. Despite this, the sun was still shining, just poking out through the smoke clouds and Soul glanced at Rowan for a moment in thought. They had been training hard lately to perfect one of the strongest grass moves in Rowan’s arsenal, Solarbeam and even now, it wasn’t exactly at its strongest, though she guessed it would be very effective against the Tyranitar anyway..
“Alright, Rowan let’s prepare for a Solarbeam.” She told the herb pokémon next to her, who gave her a small nod, bounding slightly away from the group so he didn’t accidently hit anyone else. The Meganium made quick work as he started to drain the power from the sun peeking out of the clouds, the large flower around his neck glowing in a brilliant white light as he concentrated. Soul waited for a moment until Woody had finished hurling rocks at the Tyranitar, the beast slid backwards towards the counter at the far end of the large room, it looked dazed for a moment, splashing around in a slightly dizzy state in the water left behind from Queen’s surf attack. She waited and waited for a few more seconds, the Tyranitar shook it’s head, trying to snap out of it, it’s claws on its temples. “Now!” She cried out to the herb pokémon, her heart pounding in her chest that the not perfected move would at least do some mildly strong damage. On cue, Rowan opened his jaw and fired out a beam of brilliant white, his golden eyes glaring at his target as it zoomed at immense speed towards the Tyranitar. It didn’t have a chance to move, the grass type attack slamming into it with force and speed and a wicked cry escaped from its jaws, its body flailing to the ground in agony. Rowan panted slightly, Soul could tell he would be drained for a while until he got his energy back but the Tyranitar’s health was much worse. It’s hard skin hadn’t protected it from the effective grass move, blood pouring from a deep wound as it thrashed in agony in the small amount of water, snarling and crying out as it tried to shake it off.
Soul glanced at the boys, now it was time to knock down the remaining pillars, ultimately dropping the large slab of concrete on top of the withering Tyranitar. She pointed to the one on the left of the beast, and glanced down at Ren, promising herself that the bleeding Marill would be returned after this task. “We’ll knock down that one.” She said bluntly before turning to the aquamouse and motioning towards the cracked stone. “Use rollout on the pillar Ren.” Soul told her calmly and Ren nodded, curling herself in a tight little ball. Soul kept her gaze on her Marill, not even gazing over her shoulder to see what the others were going to do to the other pillars. Ren zoomed through the water with ease as she rolled faster and faster before coming into contact with the rock pillar. Crumbled rock meeting rock type move, Soul watched as Ren crashed into it, causing more cracks to appear before finally starting to fall apart, the rubble splashing into the water as Ren uncurled herself. “Great job Ren!” Soul praised, fishing her pokeball out of her pocket and returning the Marill back into the crimson and ivory sphere for a deserved rest.

The Rhydon looked like it was ready to attack anything just to get a battle out of it - maybe even it's own alliance. When Gold came over, Silver caught the Rhydons eyes and they exchanged a cold look. Almost as if they were fighting by sending sharp thoughts to each other. ,,The pillars, only'' he said, very clearly to the Pokemon. They stood like that in a few minutes before the Rhydon turned, and started to charge forward one of the pillars. With its giant horn drilling, it smashed into the pillar and began to destroy it with both horn and body. The pillar was down, and it continued to the next one. ,,Haunter. Mean Look.'' Silver gave the ghost Pokemon a short order, that couldn't be misunderstood. Haunter smoothly flew, or rather floated around them, as if it couldn't wait to face the danger. And it made a spin in the air of something like joy, when Silver ordered it to go 'attack' the Tyranitar. It soon disappeared to pop up right in front of the green giant. It floated up to the head, and stared the Pokemon directly into it's face. With a grin it held Tyranitars gaze, the Tyranitar stared angrily back, not able to do anything else than being where Haunter wanted. It tried to bite the ghost, and succeed but soon Haunter was yet again holding up Tyranitar with its intense look.
Sneasel was hanging on Silvers shoulder, knowing that her part of the show was over. Feraligatr was staying right behind them, making sure that nothing else attack. Scaring away a few Rockets Pokemon with a roar, turning to find a easier victim. Murkrow just watched as always. Silver turned his head from their scene and looked around, to see how the surroundings was making out. Burning buildings and corpses, Pokemon and people fighting for their lives. He was beginning to feel a bit uneasy, as he always did when staying too long in the same place. It looked like Team Rocket was beginning to be less and less. Though, so far no one had recognized him, - other than Soul and Gold – and he'd like it to stay that way. He looked back as Souls Meganium finally fired off the Solarbeam it had been preparing. It wasn't the most powerful thing he had ever seen, but it hit perfectly and Tyranitar feel on the ground. Haunter danced around the creature while it roared in pain, blood finally oozing out of its wounds. It seemed like the ghost was enjoying it show, and circled around it with a big grin. Still keeping up Mean Look, even if there was no chance Tyranitar would get up now.
Rhydon clashed almost happily through another pillar as if it was just a small tree that was in the way. Good thing they were done soon, it surely was a bad day Silver had chose to visit Goldenrod in, just because he needed some food. He had been considering whether he really was hungry enough to go there. And now this had happened. How luck wasn't on his side today. Sure he had known that Team Rocket was going to do this some time, but why today?! Soon, soon he could get away, the building wouldn't last much longer, and soon Tyranitar would be dead.
((OOC: You can't use Surf on ground/land, XD; It'd be like Sand Attack while fighting in the middle of the sea. Just pointiny out.))

Gold watched as Silver's Pokemon proceeded to do the final work on Tyranitar as well as the building. Then, his wondered over to Jack who stood firmly in front of the trio, watching Rhydon knock the pillars down. Somewhat jealous that Rhydon was knocking the pillars down and not himself, Jack curled into a tight balls as his flaming collar engulfed his body in thin, scorching flames. Similar to a pin ball, Typhlosion spun in place before blasting off forward towards the final pillar, completely shattering the rubble and initiating the collapse sequence of the Pokemon Center. On the ricochet, Jack's Flame Wheel attack skidded back towards Gold, not before releasing a few embers on Rhydon's horn, sort of as to say 'back off'. Jack stopped in front of Gold and burst back up into his normal stance, giving off a bit of smoke and embers as his flaming collar disappeared. The battle was over according to Jack.
With the destruction of the pillars, the five floors of the Pokemon Center all collapsed on top of Tyranitar, instantly killing the dreaded Pokemon. After the fall, a thick cloud of dust particles engulfed the entire area as Gold closed his eyes tightly, coughing as the dust got into his respiratory system. After the dust cleared, all that stood there was a pile of Pokemon Center pieces. On top of the massive pile of building simply was the Pokeball logo that was at the peak of the Pokemon Center. Gold returned Jack and Woody as he shook his head, troubling to stand, "Well... we killed it." He looked over at Silver, to catch his reaction of his Typhlosion releasing a teasing amount of flames upon Rhydon. Gold could have yelled at Jack for harming a 'friend' but he did not really care at this point. Things could not have been as bad as Silver had done in the past. If Silver even brought it up, Gold would not take his lip no matter how disturbing an occasion this was. Looking around at the city, Gold saw collapsed buildings. It was cloudy and dusty brown, a dark aura about the city. And it was quiet, disturbingly quiet.
Gold walked around, his head looking from left to right. What happened to Goldenrod? The once vibrant and loud city was in a dank and silent state. Team Rocket definitely had made its mark on the Johto region, successful in destroying the largest city in the state. "We gotta get out of here, guys." He said looking to Soul and Silver, "Where exactly can we go is the question." Gold came up with a few ideas for main cities they could go to meet up with people: New Bark Town, Blackthorn City, Olivine City, or Ecruteak City. But Gold was lost again. This whole thing came out of no where. Gold sighed and sat on a block of brick, resting his hand on his unharmed cheek and place his other hand on his wounded leg.

Soul watched in worry and suspense as Rhydon and Jack started to take down the last pillars, until the final one was smashed to pieces. With nothing to hold the roof up, the rest of the building started to tumble down before making a sickening crunching and crashing sound when it completely fell on top of the Tyranitar and the ground which the three of them were near. Thankfully, the trio weren’t close enough to get squashed by rocks but still a tidal wave of dusts and small rubble rushed towards them it a swift speed. Soul let out a small squeak as she covered her face with her arms, squeezing her caramel coloured eyes closed in an effort not to get the dust into her eyes. She felt a sharp sting though as some sharp rocks flew past her body, earning herself a few more cuts on her legs and arms, though it was nothing compared to the deep slash on her thigh which was still slowly leaking blood. As soon as she heard Gold mutter that the fierce pokémon was dead, she slowly opened her eyes before her arms fell away from her face and to her sides. The dust had more or less settled now, a large pile of rubble which was once the pokecenter was now a huge tombstone for the Tyranitar, Soul grimaced a little at the sight of blood starting to pool around some rocks at the bottom of the pile.
Turning her head, Soul went about looking at the damage around the pokecenter, of course the city was much bigger, used to be. Even so, despite most of Goldenrod destroyed Soul couldn’t see what had happened to the other half and a part of her was begging her to go search the rest of the falling city. After all, there could be people that needed help or more pokémon to battle, she couldn’t help if she just stayed here. Plus, things seemed quiet, perhaps the battle was over? She watched Gold walk around the area near the pokecenter, she was lost for words, the whole situation had happened so fast. Why would Team Rocket do something like this? Of course, she couldn’t answer that one for herself but she only guessed it was part of some other plot they were unravelling. Her eyes narrowed ever so slightly at Gold’s words, he wanted to get out of here, right now when Team Rocket might still be lurking around the corner? Of course, she saw sense in his words to get out of here, they all had some wound or another and staying here to fight would only bring upon more pain. Still, Soul still wanted to look at the rest of the city, to see if the suddenly silent ruined place was actually abandoned now, or if there were still people alive, she couldn’t leave just yet.
“I’m going to look.” She said bluntly, not looking at anyone else as she quickly walked with a limp away from them, Rowan loyally following behind her. If they said anything to her, Soul blocked it out for the moment, she didn’t care what they thought about the situation, she had to know what Goldenrods fate was. The air was slightly misty, probably from the wrecked buildings and from the impact of battle but the brunette continued forward with her starter pokémon at her side. Soul peeked around the corner before walking around it, knowing she would be completely out of Gold and Silver’s sight now, she promised herself that she would go back in a heartbeat, she only wanted a look. While it was quiet around the corner near the pokecenter, over here she could hear the faint sounds of distant battle and shouts, roars and cries. Clearly there was still life out there and she could make out the shapes of battling team rocket members, as well as people from the city, despite the fact they weren’t anywhere near the pokecenter, Soul knew others were here. Now what was she going to do? She was torn between two choices, go help the survivors or go back to Silver and Gold to see what they think.
Soul had decided, she would go back to the boys and see what they think of the situation, she shouldn’t go on any further alone, then again, she shouldn’t have gone this far by herself either. A sudden snarling broke the silence that surrounded this end of the city, Soul turned back around sharply, the patter of paws against the hard ground and the shapes of four Houndoom’s sped towards her. Well, this certainly wasn’t good, she was just about to order Rowan to attack when two of the members of the small pack swiftly raced past her, their noses twitching as they sniffed the air before they dashed around the corner towards the pokecenter where she had left Gold and Silver. Her heart thudded violently in her chest for a moment as the remaining two came towards her and Rowan, she didn’t have time to bring out another pokémon, Soul hoped Rowan could handle two Houndooms to give her a moment to send out another member of the team. “Body Slam Rowan.” She ordered, pointing towards the dark and fire type which was ahead of the other one. Rowan quickly bounded forward before throwing his weight into one of them, the Houndoom yelped as it crashed to the ground. Soul quickly yanked a pokeball out of her bag, the sphere enlarging at her touch. However, the second one was quicker than she expected, plus, she wasn’t expecting it to throw itself at her, it’s fangs digging into her arm. Soul let out a cry of pain, dropping the pokeball on the floor, the capsule rolled across the bumpy ground, the button remaining untouched. Her heart racing in fear she fearfully glanced at her pokemon, Rowan was busy avoiding the other Houndoom’s attacks and continuing to slam into it. Also she was positive Silver and Gold would be busy with the other two dark and fire types which had caught a hint of their scent and raced towards them. Soul whimpered as she caught sight of the dog like pokémon glaring at her, she swore it wanted to rip her arm off by the way it yanked at her arm. Falling to her knees in agony, Soul watched as blood rolled down her skin and dripped on the ground, making a small puddle near a rock. She needed to do something to get free and fast, snatching the rock in her free hand, Soul suddenly struck the Houndoom on the side of the head in an attempt to free herself.

Rhydon didn't back of, but stopped in surprise. But instead of completely stopping it just gave off something resembling a smile, and while the building was falling down, it just charge forward attacking Typhlosion like a crazy. It's eyes filled with insane joy. Not even blinking while the building crashed behind it, only focusing on attacking the fire Pokemon. When Typhlosion was called back it gave off an angry roar in the direction of where Typhlosion had been. Angered that the Pokemon had turned its tail and just disappeared back into the Pokeball. So instead it found a new target, and thundered towards Gold. And seconds before hitting the boy, and thrashing him down like it had done to the pillars - just in a smaller version. It disappeared into a Pokeball itself. Silver snorted and lowered the Pokeball with the just called back Rhydon. ,,You'll get yourself killed like that one day.'' He muttered, completely cold and not caring whether other Pokemon teased his or not. He'd only stop them if they turned on him, or an unwanted target. Killing Gold right now, probably wouldn't be a good thing and he didn't care to take that fight right now.
He called back all his Pokemon despite Murkrow and Sneasel. Without saying a word, not even when Gold started to mention what they should do now. He was thinking himself, should he follow them or get the hell out of there? He'd rather like to just turn and get out, but then again. He really felt like beating more of Team Rockets Pokemons. Not even his still bleeding wound kept his thought away from beating the crap out of Team Rocket. Maybe he could even get one of their members - instead of a simple Pokemon. When Soul talked about leaving, Silver shared a long cold and deadly serious gaze with Gold. Not wanting to get anything special out of it, other than question what Gold was going to do now. Without even asking the question, and just leaving it as if his look was enough to tell that he wanted to know Golds next move. Though, he didn't wait for a reply, nor said he anything when turning and followed Soul.
He was not able to see her, but Murkrow who flew in the air above him seemed to keep track of her. That was fine for him, since he wasn't exactly following her. He would rather find something Team Rocket than Soul or anyone else. Murkrow suddenly let out a warning sound, and Silver braced himself as two Houndooms raced around the corner heading directly for him. The one of them jumped over him, and stopped behind him. The second one just continued, probably to face Gold or something. The Houndoom that was left, and right behind him whirled around and tried to place a Crunch or Bite just by his neck. But the big black hound was knocked back by Sneasel. Silver didn't turn to look what the heck Gold was doing, and didn't waste any time. Sneasel and the Houndoom had landed on the ground, and Sneasel quickly jumped away from the enemy. Silver turned, and kicked the Pokemon in the head with his own food. Taken by surprise Houndoom landed on the ground not far away, but quickly got up. Shaking its head carefully. Both Sneasel and Silver was now standing in a both offensive and defensive pose. The canine growled at them. Clearly interested in ripping them apart from their own bones. The Houndoom let out a howl as it raced forward one more time, just as Murkrow let out another warning shriek. Silver distracted by his own Pokemon, turned his head away, trust that Sneasel who jumped forward was enough to keep the Houndoom busy. The two Pokemon more or less clashed together - as much a small and a big Pokemon can clash - Houndoom with fire in the mouth, Sneasel with its claws ready to cut. ,,Murkrow!'' Silver called his bird down ,,you take that one - Sneasel you come with me.'' Though he wanted to beat the Pokemon with his own hands he'd like to see where the hell the Pokemons came from. Hoping to find a Team Rocket member. Sneasel jumped to his shoulder yet again, and Murkrow took over the Houndoom. Only giving it a second of thinking before smashing down with a Wing Attack.
Feeling completely fine with leaving Murkrow to battle the Houndoom, Silver turned around the corner where the Pokemon had come from. He didn't need to walk very far before a view of someone fighting something that looked like two more Houndooms. Silver wasn't surprised when he recognized the person as Soul. She couldn't get that far away from them in such a short time after all. What did surprise him a bit - as surprised as Silver can be - was that one of the Houndooms was fighting Meganium. While the other one was holding Soul, with a solid bite planted onto her arm. Not allowing her to do a thing. Silver hesitated a little, he wasn't exactly the person for saving anyone right now - but he kind of had to. He couldn't just leave like that, and he could get a battle out of those Houndooms too - though he'd still prefer their owner if they had one. ,,Metal Claw.'' Sneasel jumped down, and ran to hit the Houndoom which was holding Soul. The Houndoom didn't loosen it's grip at first, and dragged Soul somewhat with it when it landed on the side. Finally letting go. With the mouth open it pointed the snout towards Sneasel, and shout out a blast of flames. Sneasel cried in pain, as it was thrown away from the Pokemon. Silver had to duck for the attack too, and didn't have time to get up before the hound was over him. Its fangs prepared, and reading when it shot its head down and gave him a Super Fang somewhere between the neck and shoulder. He didn't scream, but kept every sound away from letting out. - And somehow that sounded more painful than a scream would have done. Blood spluttered out, and Silver felt his energy dropping drastically to half. He was more tired than he first had thought. He someone got himself up, still with the Houndoom hanging, and he somehow managed to get it off. Holding a hand on his old wound that was one bleeding happily again, he grabbed the nearest of his Pokemons and threw it. Unluckily it was Haunter that came out. But at least it gave him a bit of time to call back Sneasel and, while Haunter was attacked by Houndoom. The hound had disappeared for a moment, to reappear, and hit Haunter with a Faint Attack. ,,Confuse Ray!'' It was the best thing he could think of right now, confusing the Pokemon might give him some time. He carefully felt on his new wound, placed on the right shoulder. Just above the other wound - just wonderful. He picture of Ariados came onto his mind once again, as his vision clouded for a short moment. He cursed under his breathe by the thought; he was in so much trouble if he had been poisoned too.

He had to come down, today of all days? In retrospect, even if he had heard about the Goldenrod incident, it would have taken so long to get there that it wouldn't have made a difference. The first warning sign was the smoke hazing the sky from what seemed like miles away, the area below ominously stained red with fire.
...That wasn't right. There was nothing right about Goldenrod City erupting into an inferno, and by the time he commanded Damian to land, finding a small patch of the city that was safe enough for his owner, all hell broke loose. The landing of the giant orange lizard heralded the arrival of so many angry, enraged Pokemon that even Red cringed when the flying terror went to work, exhaling so much flame he probably contributed a lot more to the city burning to the ground. The Pokemon Center was gone, the gym was gone... everything was doomed by the time he got there, and he hated it. If he ordered Mex to douse the flames, the sheer force of the water would knock down what little of their foundations remained.
This was no typical fire. No sane Pokemon would run around in the middle of a burning city and attack human beings with such determination that they ignored the fact a Charizard was about to smash them between his jaws. Team Rocket... god-damn Team Rocket... were they really this heartless? There were smoldering bodies trapped under piles of rubble, heaps of human corpses around them, obviously desperate to save their friends and family... before something bloodily slaughtered them.
"...I'll kill Giovanni for this. I'll kill him and every last person who swears allegiance to him, Sparky. There's no mercy or forgiveness for this."
The electric rodent that had been perched on his shoulder remained eerily quiet, squeaking and clinging tightly to Red under his jacket- the champion found himself strangely accustomed to all the death and carnage. The rat, on the other hand, was the exact opposite, shaking and hiding the minute he saw the decapitated remains of what was once an Ampharos. Red couldn't blame the little Pokemon- after the years of fighting they did, this brutality had never been seen. Team Rocket didn't try pulling anything to this level... and he suddenly hated himself for leaving and hiding when things like this were slowly being planned.
Damian had been relatively quiet, lumbering along as Red scoped out the body of the city- only to start roaring and snarling, angrily snorting as hot blasts of steam emerged from his nostrils, the Charizard glaring over with sharp blue eyes to another area entirely. The trainer cautiously listened, adjusting his hat so only those eerie red eyes were visible- and immediately started running the minute he heard snarls, ripping flesh, biting... oh god, somebody was still alive out here?!
He was sprinting, fumbling for the two Pokeballs in his belt as Damian ran alongside him, Sparky still clinging to his trainer in terror. He'd expected a few innocents... but he wasn't expecting one of them to be a familiar face. Of all the places, of all the people... Soul? There was blood- too much blood everywhere, he realized- but he knew that face too well. Sure, he hadn't seen it for a long time, but it was unmistakable. And some Houndoom was having a hey-day trying to rip her apart, and immediately going after the red-haired teenager next to her... though Red didn't know that face.
It didn't make a difference. The Houndoom seemed just as rabid and crazed as the rest of the Pokemon Team Rocket had set on the city, ignoring the sound of a human being tossing a Pokeball, something huge and heavy emerging, and the sounds of vines whistling through the air before tightly wrapping around the hell-hound's torso. The sturdy, monstrous beast standing alongside Red slowly settled against the ground, bracing himself before yanking the vines with such force that all Red heard from the Houndoom was a squelched yelp before the ground disappeared underneath it.
The vines were reeled in slowly, the dog's claws screeching against the ground as it scrabbled and pulled, attempting to blast the vines with a Flamethrower- only for the vines to tighten around its body once it inhaled. Red watched blankly when Goliath lifted the creature up in the air with its vines, and then promptly slammed it into the ground with such force that he heard its back snap right then and there. That didn't seem to satisfy the giant plant Pokemon, however. Red didn't watch as he heard snapping and crushing, a final series of desperate yelps as Goliath silenced the dog forever by stepping on it, forcing all of his bulk and weight into his front left foot.
He wanted to ask if the two were all right- but the obvious answer to that would be a resounding no. He wasn't sure what to say to the red-haired young man, who looked far worse off than Soul... and another question immediately emerged.
"Soul. Did Team Rocket do this? Was it because you're here, or...?"
He'd heard about the incident at the Lake of Rage, of course. News like that reached even him, no matter how much he tried to isolate himself. A few brief hand gestures sent Damian off, the giant lizard flying off to seek prey- because, if Red's assumptions were right, Gold was probably here too- and Houndooms were certainly not lone creatures. They hunted in packs- for every one he saw, there were probably four more. Even Sparky eventually revealed himself, the Pokemon nervously squeaking before dashing off- and being quickly followed by the titanic tortoise that was soon released from her Pokeball, three of his most trusted Pokemon disappearing out of sight.
He had to help somehow... he wasn't a medical expert, had only treated a few bites and tears when he was on Mt. Silver... he couldn't handle wounds this deep, this exposed, this... bad.
"...Can you both keep standing?"
It was tense- the whole environment seemed to be on edge, as if warning him, telling him to go now. Red heard Goliath's irritated snort, but didn't expect to see what he saw when he turned around. There were too many of them- too many of those black hats, too many of those blood-stained Rs... well, at least Red could start living up to that vendetta he had just sworn.
If he had to scare Team Rocket into submission by killing them...? He'd do it. They didn't deserve to live.
The small Pikachu was hesitant when he left the side of the human that he was so close to, bounding off in a seemingly aimless direction- he didn't have Damian's predatory sense of smell, so Sparky simply waited for Mex and Damian to take on different directions before bolting forward- and quickly noticing a Meganium getting attacked by a Houndoom.
There was no warning when the Volt Tackle happened, the small, yellow ball of fur charging with such ferocity and speed that it bowled the large dog right over- what dismayed the small Pokemon was when the dog stood up, angrily howled, and sent three more of its kind charging at both of them.
Mex had a far easier time with the Houndoom she'd encountered, a simple Hydro Pump distracting it from the Murkrow it'd fought- and sending it crashing into a smoldering building with such velocity that the Blastoise assumed it wouldn't be a problem anymore. Damian flew by quickly, air hissing beneath his wings as he aimed for the fourth Houndoom that had been spotted- the one near the human with the yellow hat, the human in his way.
Alas- if something was in Damian's way, he wasn't going to wait for it to get out, the reptile sharply inhaling before expelling a Fire Blast at the Houndoom as he started swooping down, aiming to crash into the creature before some other Pokemon got the chance.

Receiving cold looks from Soul and Silver somewhat discouraged Gold slightly as he sighed, deciding to walk in the opposing direction from which Silver and Soul were walking. Great. At first, things seemed to be looking up: Gold met up with his best friend, was about to take her for a night on the town, and it call came falling flat on his face. Definitely not a good day. Goldenrod was in complete destruction. The entire area looked like a freaking war zone. Hydrants were set off, streets were devoured, buildings were collapsed. As Gold ventured south, he found the breeding center in complete ruin as well. He had made a good friendship with the caretakers of the breeding center and now all of their work was for not. All that remained was the natural pond in the backyard of the area. Gold sighed and remembered leaving his Gligar there for a bit for training after capturing it. Now, it was gone. Goldenrod was no more.
Looking back north, Gold sighed as he jammed his fists into his pocket, looking to the sky. Gold couldn't help but get angry. A genuine city like Goldenrod was... banished. All at the hands of Team Rocket. Clenching his fists, Gold screamed out loud in anger as he slammed his fist onto the hood of a smashed car near the mailbox of the breeding center. Sure it would hurt later, but right now, pain was the last thing on Gold's mind. Revenge indeed on Gold's agenda. For so long and too long, Gold was too nice; he held back numerous times against the likings of Team Rocket, assuming that every person had some good in them. However, some people were just pure evil. Lives were gone, human and Pokemon alike. "Why should I settle for this!? I can't do this anymore." A dead-serious expression on his face, tears of emotion slid down Gold's cheeks as he quickly wiped them away. He wasn't a crier but this situation sent Gold on the extremest of roller coasters. Another Team Rocket better not cross his path, otherwise, Gold was pretty much about to be unleashed. Rarrf! Rarrf! Rarrf! Revenge came sooner than later.
He heard the scream of a girl and the thought of Soul being hurt immediately came into Gold's mind. That did it. Gold began to sprint forward while reaching in his hoodie pocket, pulling out a pair of black goggles. Placing them upon his forehead, he continued to sprint in his Running Shoes whilst taking out a Pokeball. He could see Soul, Silver, and a pack of Houndooms in the distance, as well as another familiar figure... Red! "Red's here!?" Gold stopped in his tracks as he saw a Houndoom spot him, running at the Trainer. Skidding to a stop, Gold straightened his hat, smirking seriously as he said, "Come to Gold..." "Rarrf! Doooooom!" Gold enlarged the PokeBall as he tossed it backhandedly forward. It bounced off of a rock and burst open, revealing Jack the Typhlosion. Gold could have used Queen or Woody, but the Politoed surely was tired from battling against Tyranitar and Gold felt that Jack was better suited to battle Houndoom than Woody. Jack had fiery emotions rushing through his veins right now anyway. Getting on all fours, Jack roared, the flaming collar emerging on his neck. Houndoom charged forward and lunged at Jack, its jaws sharpening and preparing to crunch against the Typhlosion, but Jack dodged easily and swiftly.
"Swift!" Jack snarled as golden, glittery stars appeared in front of him and were beamed at Houndoom's side. The attack caused Houndoom to falter slightly, but it regained equilibrium and attack Jack, piercing its jaws into Jack's right arm. Jack roared and swatted the hell hound away from him and stood at a distance. In almost immediate fashion, Houndoom unleashed an intense beam of infernos toward Jack, almost challenging the Typhlosion to a battle of fire. Seeing this, Gold responded quickly without addressing Jack, "Flamethrower!" Flames were sent rushing back towards Houndoom from Jack's mouth and both flaming attacks met at the midpoint. Gold watched from the sideline, covering his eyes as the orange hue surrounded the area. It was quite impressive. It seemed as if Houndoom had the upper hand, for its Flamethrower seemed to overpower Jack's. However, Jack revved up his flame collar, causing his attack to receive an extra "kick" and the flames completely engulfed Houndoom, sending the hell hound into a pile of steel. With Houndoom down, Gold proceeded to capitalize, "Rollout!" Typhlosion quickly curved into a ball and spun towards Houndoom, slamming into its gut once... twice... three times... four times... five times! Blood spattered out of Houndoom's mouth as it arfed in pain before its eyes closed.
Gold signaled to Jack that they were moving and he began to sprint toward where the others were. Meeting up with Soul and Silver, Gold watched as Red came in and began to completely dominate the remaining Houndoom. Gold did not bother to speak as there was no need or time for words to be spoken. Battle was the active speaker at this point and time.

Her whole being trembled as she dealt another blow to the side of the Houndoom’s head with the rock, caramel eyes wide with fear as the dog like pokémon refused to let go despite the blood trickling down the side of its skull. Soul’s head span as the beast clung on even tighter, her arm felt like it was burning in flames because of the pain, causing her to grit her teeth together to stop herself from crying out loud. Rowan let out a bellow in anger and fear as he tangled with the second Houndoom, trying to shake the beast off to help Soul, however he ended up crashing to the ground when the fire and dark type released a ruthless Fire Fang on him. Soul couldn’t hear anything apart from the thudding of her own heart as she stared the dog of death right in the eyes, if she could pick any emotion from it right now she would have gathered the beast was very happy at the moment, his eyes glimmering with blood thirsty excitement. She raised her free arm once more, aiming to smash the Houndoom once again around the head but a sudden force knocked the beast down, her body being dragged to the ground with it like a ragdoll. Then the forceful grip around her right arm was released, leaving the deep bite wounds exposed to the fume filled air, blood gushing out of the puncture marks.
Soul slowly managed to get herself up onto her knees, her wounds burned like crazy and she ended up biting her lip to not scream. Her gaze fell upon Silver as she looked up, she could have told him out loud about how happy she was to see him right at this moment, but nothing came out, she just looked at him silently as if processing that he was actually here. “S-Silver!” She spluttered out as the same vicious Houndoom slipped past Sneasel, launching itself at the redhead. Oh god, this was all her fault, if something were to happen she’d never forgive herself and she knew Silver would never forgive her either. As the Houndoom attached itself to Silver, Soul attempted to push herself up to help, only to collapse back onto her hands and knees again, her legs and arms failing her. Before she knew it though, Silver had managed to wrench the beast from himself, she hardly noticed how much she was trembling until she looked down at her shaking hands. Her heart gave a horrible unfamiliar wrench from the sight of his new bloody wound, her eyes gazed over at him, reflecting how scared she was for him, her, Gold and everyone else caught in Team Rockets blood thirsty plot. A soft whimper escaped Soul’s lips as she slowly forced herself to stand, her right arm and left leg were still steadily bleeding from the deep wounds but she attempted to push the pain away, feeling the need to get to Silver. Soul limped slowly across the couple of feet that separated them both before stopping near Silver, her sight instantly going to the damage the Houndoom had done to him. She hung her head in shame at the sight, her hands balling into fists to try and contain herself from either going into an angry fit or from breaking down in tears but she pushed the feelings away. Her trembling left fist uncurled before reaching forward ever so slightly for some unknown reason to her, as if she was about to take a hold of the redheads own hand, only finding it to halt halfway as she heard something.
The sound of her name caused Soul to glance upwards in shock, the voice sounded familiar but it wasn’t Silver or Gold who had uttered it. And as she turned, she watched as a huge Venusaur finished off the Houndoom that had previously attacked herself and Silver, her eyes widened but she was mostly shocked by who the trainer was. She couldn’t believe it, it was Red! As soon as she saw the ebony haired champion a flare of hope started to burn inside of her and she felt herself smile weakly. “Yes and I’m sure that this would have done this regardless if I was here or not.” She responded numbly to the older teen, her gaze following Damian as he flew speedily away, then watching the electric mouse who had appeared and the Blastoise. Soul gave a nod to Red’s question about if she could keep standing despite not exactly believing what she had told him.
As soon as Soul saw the horde of Team Rocket members not far off, she knew she had to snap out of this sorrowful mood that had claimed her, she was no help like this. A sudden burst of light caused her to snap her attention to Sparky and Rowan, watching as the Pikachu slammed into the Houndoom with a Volt Tackle. As soon as it was knocked off of Rowan, the grass type stumbled up and galloped towards Soul, stopping in front of her and thrusting his head towards the brunette as he nuzzled her gently. Soul returned the affection by hugging him closely, her hand petting her most trusted companion in a comforting way, before softly telling him to heal himself with Synthesis. The Meganium glowed a bright green in colour, his flowers shining the brightest as his wound started to slowly heal and his eyes looking healthier. It only took a few moments until he was healed and he pulled away from Soul, a look of determination appearing in his eyes. “Okay, I want you to keep your distance this time..” She told him before walking a couple of paces away from Silver and Rowan, crouching down painfully to scoop up the Pokéball she had dropped. Soul struggled back to a standing position, the look of pain on her features apparent as she threw the sphere with her left hand.
In a glow of silver light, Flick appeared before the four Houndoom and next to Sparky, her ears twitching as she gazed at the scene while standing on her back legs. She swished her fluffy tail around as she fell onto all four paws, the speedy furret looked keen to be of some assistance. Soul turned to return back to her previous place however, her eyes caught sight of Gold running over to the group, a tug of a smile appeared on her features despite the hell that was today. Her feet guided her next to Gold and her uninjured left hand timidly held onto his sleeve, a feeling of relief washed over her, glad to know that he had been fortunate enough not to be hurt by the Houndoom. Her fingers lightly brushed against his hand accidently when she released his arm, finding the will to smile at her best friend softly. She couldn’t find any words to say to him but she was sure he would understand that she was happy that he was here with her. Soul knew that she wouldn’t have been able to do this mentally or physically without Gold.. or even Silver and she accepted the fact that she needed them both right now.
Turning her attention back to the battle, Soul watched as Rowan walked away from the group to stand in a long ranged position, a little further away from where Sparky and Flick were. “Flick water pulse!” The furret instantly opened her jaws, forming a sparkling blue ball of water before her before shooting it forward, the sphere crashed in front of the pack of Houndoom, smashing into the ground in front of their paws, causing a mini tidal wave to wash over the four of them. The part fire types yelped in pain as the water soaked into their fur, two of them getting knocked over from the force of the water. Soul’s gaze flickered to Sparky, the water that clung to the Houndoom’s bodies should help his electrical attacks be more effective now.

Silver had somehow gotten up and stood there for a few long seconds, just staring into the air without even looking at anything. His silver eyes widened, in something that seemed to be a fight for self-control and for gaining a somewhat normal breathe again. His right arm was hanging, unusable and blood from his new wound was travelling now it. He didn't even seem to be able to concentrate on what was happening around him, and he seemed to jump a little when Soul talked. As he hadn't noticed her standing next to him the few last seconds. He looked at her, wondering who she was talking to. And following her eyes direction, he saw another person. - And kicked himself in his head for not noticing neither the new Pokemon or the person standing right there. Making his Pokemon smack the Houndoom as if there were just flies in the way. That face... Those Pokemon... There was no mistaking it. Silver had never met this person, nor seen him in real. But he had heard stories, oh yes. All the stories about Red, the trainer from Pallet who had fought Team Rocket back and almost succeed in putting an end to them. He knew all the stories.
Silvers eyes widened once again. And without knowing it himself (because he would kill himself, if he knew he had done just that) he putted on the exact same expression Giovanni had had years ago when he had been beaten by Red. The expression of surprise, anger to themselves for letting out any expression at all, and biting bitter defeat. Silver had to get away from here. Soon. Soon as possible. Suddenly wasn't it important to go beat any Team Rocket members. That could wait, he wouldn't like to risk being near the Champion. Not the exact same Champion who had done so much to Team Rocket. Red wouldn't know who he was, but Silver still couldn't be sure of that. He didn't know how many people that actually knew who he was, other than those in Team Rocket. Sometimes he wondered himself. Besides, if Red didn't know who he was; he was still wanted for stealing Totodile back then, and lots of other less important things through time. He had to get out of the city, now, while everyone was busy with fighting.
"...Can you both keep standing?" Silver didn't reply, but was happy that Soul answered. He could keep in the background without getting much attention then. He took Haunters pokeball and called back the ghost. It was too tired to be out in this war zone any more, and he would probably just slow him down. He didn't give Soul nor Gold -that had just joined them- a single look, he just keep a silent watch on Red and his Pokemon. His head rushing and spinning with thoughts, how to get the hell out of here. With his usually expressionless cold face on, he started to back away. His left hand placed where he easily could get grip of a Pokeball. As if he was to let out a big Pokemon, like Rhydon or Feraligatr. But instead of throwing anything, he disappeared around the corner. So swiftly as he could with his wounds. When he knew he was out of their sight, behind the building he started to run. Good and quickly as he could, ignoring pain much as possible. He could worry about that later. Murkrow joined him from the air, as he made his way through the city. Choosing the most difficult ways as possible. Heading for Ilex Forest where he knew he could hide somewhat easily.
((OOC; Sorry if this is a little too early to 'run away' xD... I just couldn't come up with anything else ff))
