Pokemon and humanity have coexisted since seemingly the dawn of time. It began when the first human man left his cave and confronted the Areodactyl terrorizing his tribe, devouring their crops and livestock and destroying their homes. He leapt from a rock outcrop onto its back as it flew by, hunting its next meal. It writhed and shrieked, trying to shake its rider, but slowly, gradually, its struggling lost vigor and strength, and soon the creature was tamed. Then, mankind learned that these bizarre animals they shared the world with were nothing to fear, but were beasts of burden who could be conquered and tamed.

Now, Pokemon and humanity live side-by-side, trainer and companion, an alliance slowly born through the centuries; Man and beast living as partners in a world that they together have dominated and conquered. There has been conflict, but it was all short-lived. Nothing more than speed-bumps on the road to destiny.

Until now.

A terrorist organization called "Team Omni", composed of several smaller crime syndicates and organizations such as Rocket, Aqua, Galactic, the like, threatens this peace. What they're doing, what they want, no one knows for sure. But given their reputation as several smaller groups spread throughout the world, it can only be assumed that as a united force they are not benevolent. Something must be done before they strike. Someone must infiltrate them and discover their motivations. And they must do it quickly. The nights are gradually growing longer, the darkness staying just a few moments more than the night before once the dawn came. Wild Pokemon are becoming more aggressive, often attacking humans with little or no provocation. Something is happening. Something very bad. And it seems unlikely that Team Omni is not behind it.

It has fallen to you, trainers and masters, to learn why this is happening and what the method behind this madness is.

I'll go first.

Name: Keenan McDaniels
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Appearance: Tall (about 6'2"), short black hair, green eyes, skinny, usually wearing blue jeans and a red t-shirt with a black denim jacket over it.
Bio: Hailing from Jubilife in Sinnoh, Keenan showed promise as a trainer from an early age. As he grew older he also began to show his strong belief in honesty and justice. By age 16 he was an apprentice ranger, and by 18 he was a registered upholder of the law. Now, he's been called to Goldenrod City in Johto to investigate reported Team Rocket activity there. Keenan is known to never tell a lie and to be rather reserved and solitary, although he can be fairly sociable if need be. However, his experience has taught him to keep an open mind and suspect everyone.

TEAM
Fortean (Lucario) - Lvl 69
Given to Keenan by his father as a Riolu when they were both very young, Fortean was only a playmate to Keenan at first. But once he decided to become a trainer, she was more than willing to fight for him. Like her trainer, Fortean is generally unsociable and untrusting, although even more so than Keenan. In fact, Keenan may be the only one she truly does trust; even the rest of his team she seems to find untrustworthy. She and Keenan have a deep bond, like brother and sister, and are practically inseparable.

Musketeer (Gallade) - Lvl 68
The second Pokemon Keenan caught was a Ralts; a male, oddly enough. Keenan wasn't even aware that there was such thing as a male Ralts. The one he'd just captured seemed insecure, but also brave and honorable in battle despite his unhealthy self-consciousness. He also seemed to be very polite and chivalrous to other Pokemon (except females of his own evolutionary chain, who he seemed intimidated by) Because of this, Keenan named him "Musketeer". He eventually evolved to a Gallade, when he stopped being afraid of females of his own kind; in fact, he seemed to have become over-confident. With his excellent agility, impressive power with both his blades and psychic attacks, and solid defensive capabilities, that's his biggest weakness; he's a bit too sure of himself.

Gigantis (Aggron) - Lvl 62
Gigantis was a fairly recent addition to Keenan's team. He was caught as a Lairon only a couple of years ago. Gigantis is ornery and distrustful, even towards Keenan at times. Like Musketeer, he's very full of himself, only he lacks a lot of Musketeer's agility and skill. Although he's no genius, Gigantis realizes that he can't win with brute strength and size alone, and so he begrudgingly lets Keenan direct him as the trainer sees fit

Tiamat (Dragonair) - Lvl 66
For whatever reason, Tiamat unable to evolve into Dragonite no matter how much stronger she gets. However, neither Keenan nor Tiamat herself mind this. Keenan prefers a Dragonair's grace and agility to a Dragonite's bulk, and Tiamat, being just a little vain, finds herself so much more beautiful as a Dragonair. This has a practical use to Keenan's battle plan with her, as well, of course; combining her beauty to first lower the enemy's guard and then her grace to quickly and skillfully strike at their weaknesses, Tiamat employs unconventional and unexpected methods to win. Regardless of it letting her flaunt more, however, she finds combat brutish and dislikes it.

Sawface (Feraligator) - Lvl 65
Feral, relentless, and overpowering, Sawface is perhaps the most dangerous member of Keenan's team. He is nigh uncontrollable, sociopathic, and completely devoid of mercy and compassion, and so Keenan only ever uses him as an absolute last resort. He's even a little afraid of Sawface. The Feraligator doesn't care about the safety of his trainer, his team mates, his opponents', or even his own- he lives only for the thrill of combat and the satisfaction of a fresh kill.

Jack O Blades (Kabutops) - Lvl 63
Jack O Blades is crafty, affable, and aloof. Almost everything is a game to him and he has a hard time taking anything seriously, often to Keenan's dismay. Jack, as he's called for short, was kept out of combat for his early years as a Kabuto, where he observed combat from the sidelines. Still a bit brittle, he's fast and dexterous enough to hold his own, although he prefers 2-on-2 battles; the more the merrier.

Name: Ren Itsuki
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Ren's typical outfit starts off with a bomber jacket. Dark charcoal in color, it has four poackets; two of which are breast pockets and two normally placed ones. Under her jacket is a coral colored top made to look like a corset; only without the near-suffocating power and it has straps. Her pants are a pair of light grey skinny pants, which have seen better days do to some fading, and are tucked in below the knees under a pair of dark boots. Ren wears a pair of fingerless gloves.

(Her outfits normally consist of neutral colors and a sort of splash of color.)

Ren is a master of disguise, so it's not common that you would find an array of different styled/colored wigs to her disposal. Having spent lots of time running from Team Omni/law enforcement, one learns how to hide themselves. Her most commonly used wig is one that is blonde with a himecut.

Bio:
Ren was born in Jubilife city, and lived there until she 15 when she ran away from home. After several months of moving from town to town, Ren caught the attention of local scouts from Team Rocket, and with no other choice joins their ranks if only to keep herself fed. Over the next few years, she rose through the ranks to become a high ranking officer. It's then, as a 19 year old, she learned of Team Omni. And when she witnessed a pokemon being turned into a shadow pokemon... she thought it was high time she ditch Team Rocket/Omni.

And, ever since then, she's been on the run from Team Omni.

Her criminal identity is a blond named Amy Lynn, and that is the image the law enforcements use to try and catch her. As a result, she only uses this persona as a last resort.


Pokemon Nickname: Fina
Species: Typhlosion
Bio: Fina was taken in by Ren when she was a little girl. Up until that point, Fina was a Cyndaquil that lived in Professor Rowan's labratory, but when Fina and Ren met the two instantly formed a bond that was inseperable. Much like Keenan's Fortean, Fina was a playmate for Ren until the latter decided to become a pokemon trainer. It was then Fina became not only a friend, but Ren's most reliable fighter. True, she trusts the rest of her pokemon but when in a tight cinch, she'll most likely depend on Fina than anyone else. Fina is motherly to Ren and the rest of her teammates, overprotective and a little bit suspicious of the male variety.

Pokemon Nickname: Himeko
Species: Shiny Lopunny
Bio: Himeko is the second pokemon to Ren's team, given to her by a very dear friend. Coquettish, cute, prim and proper, Himeko at a glance seems to not be made for combat. However her innocent appereance belies her immense strength, as the rabbit pokemon provides for a lot of the physical strength in her team (only be overshadowed by Avalon, the great offensive wall.) Himeko is much like Ren in a pokemon form; both are pink, a little bit spoiled but overall have a happy go lucky attitude.

David has traveled all over catching different pokemon and having new experiences. He has become a great trainer after doing so much traveling, He wants to slow down and take sometime away from the trainer world. but he knows being a trainer is the best thing for him right now and he still feels there is something more out there waiting for him.


( I'll do the bio's soon)
Species: Arcanine
Moves: Extreme speed, flamethrower,Overheat, Thunder fang
Bio: Arcanine was only a Growlithe when he met David. David was out in the woods looking for berries. Growlithe came up to him and challenged him. David was a coward and ran away, but Growlithe chased him. David's father stopped growlith with his charizard and the captured it. David's father gave Growlithe to him, but when David first let Growlithe out it chased him again. after a few times of being chased and tackled David and Growlithe started getting used to each other. and they slowly became friends,after they started to travel together and Growlithe became Arcanine. The two stopped having a trainer and pokemon relationship, they were now partners that would protect each other.

Species: Pidgeot
Moves: wing attack, air slash, sky attack, air cutter
Bio: Pidgeot was a pidgey when she met David. She landed on David's head and he fed her berries. She started to like him and allowed him to pick her up of his head. David then caught Pidgey and the two of them became close like him and Growlithe. When Pidgey evolved into Pidgeotto, she became enraged while fighting, she enjoyed to fight it became second nature to her. David didn't know what to do with her because she wouldn't calm down. David got into a small battle with a young new trainer, when he used Pidgeotto, she defeated his charmander and went after the boy. David stepped in and took the attack from pidgeotto, when she calmed down she realized what she had done, she went to David and placed her head against his wounded arm and as he petted her head she evolved into Pidgeot.


Species: Gyarados

Bio: Gyarados was one of David's toughest battles because he only had Pidgeotto and Growlithe, Gyarados was attacking a fishing boat that was close to his resting grounds, David saw it and had to help. David used Pidgeotto to get Gyarados' attention, Gyarados followed Pidgeotto close to shore and then Growlithe used flamethrower on him. Gyarados prepared to fire a hyper beam, but Pidgeotto attacked before he could, the combination of Pidgeotto and Growlithe's attacks stopped Gyarados and then David caught him. For a few months Gyarados didn't like David, but after training with him and becoming stronger Gyarados started to like David. Gyarados now acts like a guardian to David, he is very protective of him.

Bio:

Ren sighed heavily, and leaned back against the cold wall. The room she was in was empty; save for a table and two chairs, all sitting next to the wall. With one arm propped up on the table, she picked at her nails, and flinging chipping nail polish off onto the floor. She only looked up from her nails when she heard the only door in the room open with a clatter, before slamming shut. The new occupant of the room was an extremely uptight woman, wearing a crisp black uniform and her poorly bleached blond hair tightly pulled back into a bun. Ren only spared the woman a glance, before going back to her nails.

"Miss Lynn," the woman snapped harshly, "This isn't a nail salon!"

"Took you this long to figure that out?" Ren boredly replied, peeling off a large chunk of nail polish and flicking it away. "I think I need some better nail polish." she added, nonchalantly.

Ren could hear the lady's heels clicking against the hard floor as she took the seat opposite of Ren.

"Well, Miss Lynn, where you'll be going, nail polish will be the least of your concern." The lady hissed. (sheesh, she was really grouchy...)

"Only guilty people go to jail, ma'am,"

"Keep thinking you're innocent, go ahead." the woman started, placing down some folders onto the table. "However, it's hard to believe anyone would find you innocent when you're running around with a fake identity." The lady placed down a picture of Ren; only said picture had a blond with sunglasses in it instead of the pink haired girl.

Ren snickered. "Ami Lynn's my celebrity identity, and with people like you taking pictures of me without my permission, I have no choice but to use a fake name to hide my real identity~" Ren cooed.

It seemed Ren's lackadaisical attitude was getting to the lady, as Ren heard her sigh loudly with exasperation.

"What are you, a child?" the interrogator snapped.

"No, but I am someone who can pull of platinum blond better than you~" Ren retorted, making a stab at the lady's horrendous dye.

The lady was about to spit out some comeback, when the door opened again. A middle aged man waved to Ren's interrogator, beckoning her to leave the room for now. With one last final glare directed to Ren, Miss Uptight swiftly walked out of the room.

When she heard the door close, Ren snickered. She propped her head on her hand, elbow resting against the table and did some thinking.

It was obvious using her alter ego, Amy Lynn, was a bad idea. Unfortunately, desperate times call for desperate measures and Ren had no choice but to don her criminal ego once again, which led to her capture. Although it had been a year since her defection from Team Omni, Ren was still being hunted down by law enforcement like she was a murderer. She had always found herself being some phantom criminal; someone the law couldn't touch. Of course, until she was pitted against several Rangers. Ren had clearly underestimated the abilities if the Rangers; a group as big as them probably could capture people like her in a day.

Heh, rangers. Ren thought, a smile tugging at her lips. Reminds me of Keenan when he became an apprentice ranger. I wonder how he's doing...., her thoughts trailed off, as the brief smile began to fade into a frown instead. How ironic; her best friend (well, she still considered Keenan her best friend) was a respected upholder of law, when she was a infamous criminal.

Ren's thoughts were interrupted when she heard muffled voices from outside the room. She looked up, and through the cracks between the shutters of the windows that allowed outsiders to watch interrogations, she felt her heart skip several beats.

Although he was older, there was not doubt about it. She closed her eyes, and sighed. He'd find out sooner or later Ren, might as well break it to him now and hopes he'll someday forgive you. Ren thought to herself, reaching up the blond wig that rested on her head. She pulled it off and discarded it on the table, before letting her pink hair down.

Just as she finished up correctly stray hairs, the door opened again and in stepped the object of her anxiety-- of course, not like she was going to show that.

Covering up her nervous state, Ren gave the entree-ant a big, smug smile while crossing her legs.

"Hello, Keenan darling~" she greeting her old friend, practically purring.

He was baffled. It WAS her. Keenan thought it might be- he hoped desperately that it wasn't, but there she was right in front of him now. He stared at her with blank surprise for a moment or two before sitting down.

Upon finally meeting Ami Lynn in person, he thought something seemed eerily familiar about her. And then he realized; "She reminds me so much of Ren." He had to get in on her interrogation, to get some sort of closure on his hunch. Normally he stayed out of the interrogations; they weren't his thing. He was quiet on the job, only a voiceless extension of the law's arm. But he had to have a voice this time.

"Ren," he began, searching for the words, but with his shocked mind all he could say was, "What is this? What the hell happened?"

Ren smiled upon hearing Keenan. "Yeah, I know it's rather surprising to see me here." she started, sympathetically. However, she stopped before she said anything else; and looked away. She was hesitant to explain what happened, and it was painfully obvious. Ren may be a criminal, but when it comes to her old friend, she had a hard time lying.

She pressed her mouth into her palm, trying to think of a way to make herself seem any less of a criminal to Keenan. But, the kid had an almost black and white sense of justice; it'd be hard to convince him otherwise. She glanced over to Keenan, who she could tell wanted an answer.

For a moment, Ren didn't bother to think about her actions. She slowly stood up, and walked over to Keenan. Before he could protest or order her around, Ren leaned down and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I... I'm sorry we had to meet again under these circumstances." Ren murmured to Keenan, keeping her voice as steady as possible. "I wish I could explain, I really wish I could."

For a moment, feeling her gentle embrace, Keenan's mind went blank and his temperature rose. He would have rather stayed like that. But he needed an explanation! With much struggle, most of it internal with himself, he removed himself from her arms and turned to face her.

"Please, Ren, don't be like that," he told her sternly. "You're only making it harder on yourself AND me. This is serious. Do you even realize the charges against you? You can't bat your eyelashes and make this go away just like that. Please, talk to me! Tell me what's going on here?"

A moment of silence passed as he waited for her answer. He half anticipated, half dreaded what she did next; on one hand, he wanted to know what was going on, but on the other the small subtle spark of betrayal hidden deep in her eyes alone was killing him.

"Please, Ren, don't be like that," Keenan said sternly. "You're only making it harder on yourself AND me. This is serious. Do you even realize the charges against you? You can't bat your eyelashes and make this go away just like that. Please, talk to me! Tell me what's going on here?"

Damnit, so the tender and subtle approach wasn't working. Ren furrowed her eyebrows, and looked away again. She couldn't very tell Keenan she was an ex-Team Omni member, that wouldn't go very well. But there was no use in beating around the bush. Of course, if she tells Keenan, there's a chance she'll get a lighter sentence... or, Keenan could not help her and let her rot in prison for a few years.

Ren sighed loudly. She decided it would be better to tell him to the truth out right, and hope he'll have a bit of mercy for her.

"Keenan," she started, somewhat sadly. "I--"

Suddenly, a violent trembling of the building, accompanied by the sound of several explosions, interrupted her! Ren grabbed the table for support, and out her mouth came out several colorful words. The only people who would have guts to attack a ranger station would be those not afraid of the law; meaning Team Omni.

She looked up to Keenan, the gears in her head turning. She couldn't risk staying here. Ren kept her gaze on Keenan a few seconds more, before she swiftly turned and made head way out of the room. The only one who would notice there was a loose criminal running around the station would be Keenan, but Ren hoped she would lose him in the flurry of rangers.

Her first task in mind was to find her pokemon, when they had taken her in her team was confiscated. Once she had her team, she'd be able to get back on the run.

Keenan swore under his breath as he rushed out of the room after Ren. The mess of fellow rangers swarming through the halls slowed him down, but no matter how far of him she got he never lost sight of Ren. But he would soon, he realized. She was fast, and the halls were crowded. He first thought of unleashing Fortean to follow her aura trail or Tiamat to chase her down and ensnare her, but there wasn't enough space in the halls or perhaps even enough time to do that. He'd trail her as far as he could and catch up to her from there.

Meanwhile, the evidence of an attack was quickly mounting. The tremors continued until they blurred together into one near-constant quake. Blasts rang out down the corridors. The cries of various Pokemon filled the air. Keenan was nearly outside; there, he could do much more to stave off whatever attack might be taking place.

After dodging several rangers, Ren turned into an empty hallway. She had been in enough stations to know where they kept confiscated items. She strolled up to the door that had a key pad lock on it, and pressed in a few numbers. She waited a few seconds, before the satisfying sound of a click reached her ears. She opened the door, and slipped inside.

She ran through several alphabetized aisles, before she found where her stuff was being kept. She took the labeled box of the shelf, and proceeded to relieve the box of her contents. After slipping her bag on and securely attaching her belt around her waist, Ren high tailed it out of the confiscated items room.

Normally, she would whip out Avalon so she could make her own escape route, but with Rangers and Team Omni members prowling around, she figured it'd be best to make her escape as discreetly as possible. She turned into an open doorway, and began to run up several flights of stairs, until she reached the room.

With the sounds of more explosions and fighting reaching her ears, Ren unhooked one of the pokeballs from her waist, and let loose Aria, her Altaria. When she was sure she was securely seated on her Altaria, Ren gave the command to start flying.

As Ren and Aria began to float away from the building, Ren sighed softly. It pained her to separate from Keenan, whom she hadn't seen in years, so quickly, but she couldn't let herself be caught by Team Omni. Not only was her life on the line, her Pokemon were in danger as well. And Ren would be damned before she let those criminals lay a single hand on the family she worked hard to raise.

However, she couldn't continue her thoughts, as something hard striked her in the head and almost instantly knocked her out from the force.

Aria chirped loudly, and began her descent while trying to keep her master from falling to her death. The Altaria settled behind a cluster of trees where, with some difficult, placed Ren on the ground.

((OOC: OK! It's free reign posting now! Incase you pulled a TL;DR on us, the setting is very simple: We have started out in Goldenrod City's ranger station, where it's being attacked by Team Omni members. |3 ))

Now out of the building, Keenan had long lost sight of Ren in the commotion. In exchange for her more pleasing visage, however, he could now see the firing line of nearly a dozen Magmotar and Blastoise, each of them embroidered with the Team Omni insignia, bombarding the ranger station, guarded by a small army of Raticate, Golbat, Skunktank, and other such pests. They had to be dealt with before Keenan could focus too much on Ren. He pulled three balls from their holsters around his belt, one with an "F" carved into its surface, another with an "M", and a last one with a "T", and with a toss of the devices released Fortean, Musketeer, and Tiamat.

"We've got to help the other rangers break up the attack," Keenan instructed his team. "Fortean, help stave off the vermin; Musketeer, Thunderbolt and Grass Blade on the Blastoise; and Tiamat, Bubblebeam and Hydro Pump on the Magmotar. No heroism; work with the other rangers. Nothing fancy, just get it done." The three pokemon nodded, and then entered the fray. Keenan remained vigilant on the sidelines.

This was not good.

Aria nudged Ren's head, hoping it would wake her up. But, from the trickle of blood that was dripping down from her head, it was apparent Ren wouldn't be waking up anytime soon.Lightly huffing, Aria peeked over a pair of bushes, determined to keep her trainer safe from any enemies.

"Well, what do we have here?" A voice sneered, from above Ren and the Altaria.

Aria's head snapped up, and immediately she recognized the Team Omni insignia. Aria ruffled her cloud like wings, and growled at the man, the glint in her eyes just daring him to come closer.

"Whoa there fluff ball, I'm just here for your trainer." he started, crouching down and making a move to reach out and grab Ren.

Without warning, Aria shot forward and bit the man's hand, causing him to yelp and yell several obscenities. "Stupid bird!" The man spat, finally pulling his injured hand and backing away from the suddenly violent Altaria.

"That's it, this looks like I have to take her by force!" The man started, whipping out a Raticate.

Aria moved in front of Ren, ready to battle.

((OOC: Hnng, not good post cause i'm in some pain. Sorry!)

With Keenan's forces added to the battle, the siege was starting to break up quickly. The Blastoise and Magmotar were falling with little their verminous allies could do to save them. But then, just after she struck down another Skunktank with a devastating Force Palm, Fortean's ears perked up. She looked up at Keenan and, after a moment of stillness, during which time she squinted sniffed the air as if to be sure of something, she pointed behind him before returning to the skirmish.

Keenan looked over his shoulder to see a Team Omni member and his Raticate attacking something in bushes; an Altaria, Keenan realized after a moment of observation. Unclipping another ball from his belt, Keenan unleashed Jack O Blades. The Kabutops clanged his blades together, filling the air with a shrill metal clang.

"Intercept that Omni," Keenan ordered. "Get his away from those bushes."

With a grunt of anticipation, Jack was off like a shot, at the hot spot almost immediately. He caught the Raticate unaware in the side with a headbutt, sending the rodent flying! Its trainer, realizing that this battle was as good as lost, recalled his creature and fled. Keenan would deal with him later. For now, he rushed to the bushes to see what lie there.

Aria jumped back as the Kabutops rammed into the Raticate. Fearing it was another trainer wanting to harm her trainer, Aria backed up, attempting to make herself appear more intimidating to the Kabutops while struggling to get Ren on her back.

Aria paused, when she saw that the owner of the Kabutops was not a Team Omni member, but a normal looking trainer. While he didn't seem as threatening as Team Omni member, Aria didn't let her guard down.

(It's ok to post now right?)
*Past*
David had just reached Goldenrod, he could see smoke coming from the ranger station in the city. He ran quickly to go see what he could do to help. David looked around and saw guys dressed in what seemed to be a uniform. David snickered a little and then says " Who are you guys, and what are you doing." The two men turn and look at David they stare at him for a second and then says " get out of here kid, or we will take you down like this station." David reaches for his belt and he grabs a pokeball. he throws it high into the air and says " Alright Scizor come on out." David's Scizor comes out of the pokeball and stands in front of him. Scizor was ready for battle. The two men in uniform stared at Scizor and then they each threw out a pokeball, out of one came a Beedrill and from the other throws out a Golbat. David says to Scizor " Scizor use iron head on Beedrill and then night slash on Golbat." Scizor quickly runs toward Beedrill, it leaps into the air and slams it's head into the Beedrill sending it flying back. Scizor then turns to Golbat, and with it's claw now completely covered in a dark glow it slams it into Golbat, Golbat falls to the ground and hits it hard. The men in their uniforms return their pokemon and then flee. Scizor walks over to David and says to it " you did a good job Scizor." David smiles and returns it to the pokeball. He then runs to the station and then looks around. David then sees a Kabutops in the bushes with something else. David walks over to the bushes and sees a woman.

*Now*
David walks over to the woman, he sees that she is bleeding. he sees an Altaria is protecting the girl, he realizes that it must be her's David looks around, he knows that he has to go find this girl some help. David looks at the Kabutops that is there as well and then he sees the guys with the uniforms, David says to himself " these guys are everywhere." David throws his pokeball again and out pops Scizor, Scizor stands next to the Kabutops. It is ready to battle the guys in the uniforms' pokemon.

Upon noticing the other trainer, Keenan greeted him with, "Thanks for the assist." He looked to Jack O Blades. "Work with these guys and keep the rest of the Omnis off of us while I see what's going on here." Jack acknowledged the order with an excited huff.

With that, he ducked into the bushes. His movements were slow, as the Altaria still watched him defensively. He established eye contact with the bird and made sure his hands were visible to it, so that it knew his intentions were not malevolent. But when he saw what it was guarding, his concentration on the bird was instantly broken.

"Ren?!"

David says to the man who was talking to him " No problem, just doing the right thing and helping out." David smiles and then he gets a serious look on his face, he then says " Scizor use iron head on that Raticate." Scizor nods and then runs toward the Raticate with great speed, it then rams it's head into the Raticate sending it flying toward the uniformed guy. David then says "now finish this with Flash cannon" Scizor holds out both of its claws and then from it's claws fire a silver beam of energy. The flash cannon hits the Raticate, and throws the Raticate into the uniformed guy and knocks him unconscious. David laughs and then goes into the bushes to see what was going on.

Aria gave Keenan a low growl to warn him to keep his distance, however her watchdog concentration was broken, when her trainer groaned lightly.

Ren stirred, and groaned lightly the instant she felt her head throb intensely in pain. She murmured a string of curses under her neck, as she slowly pushed herself up, feeling around her head for the wound. She pulled away once she felt something warm and sticky on her hands, and grimaced lightly to see blood. She looked around to see her Altaria, and two other people standing there. Ren scrambled backwards a bit, until she realized these were not Team Omni members, but Keenan and some other trainer.

While it was a relief to see trainers, and not Team Omni members, just having Keenan there when she was injured and not thinking clearly made it worse.

"Stay still, you'll make it worse if you move," Keenan told Ren, hoping he'd remembered First Aids training correctly.

He was deeply conflicted right now; here was the criminal he and his unit had been after for so long, right here, injured and immobilized. He could call his partners over right now to take her in right now.

But on the other hand, it was Ren. This was his best friend. He couldn't do this to her, not now, not like this. He looked back at the siege of the station; Omni was retreating, their offensive failing. They were no longer a problem. Keenan pulled out his cell phone and dialed a number. "Hold on," he told her. "I'm calling a friend. Help is on the way."
