Mikan!

"Her Pokemon are not the only hostages." He spoked hurriedly, opening the door whence he came, "This place is safe, you can walk out without explaining yourself." He left expecting Alice to follow and continued to speak to her, "I shall lead a bunch of trainers on an expedition to rescue all the stolen Pokemon being held captive in their base. After you retrieve your own, dispose of the team rocket lab worker and meet us there at the base. I think we can only manage to merely stall them.." He figured that he might require her assistance in liberating the hostages being kept in the base for he was not dealt a good hand. A young trainer who seemed fairly new to the concept of Pokemon bumped into Hunter and informed him that the others were ready to go. Sighing heavily, he followed the boy into a different part of the house but not before wishing his friend good luck and pointing at the exit.

She would meet him again later but for now her objective was to rescue her own Pokemon from the stampede using the one Pokemon she had stolen from the Team Rocket base and perhaps capturing the herd's alpha if she was up to it. Then there was the shiny Larvesta roaming around in the island. Cissy was going to have towait it out as Alice was scheduled to rescue the island as well, for the trainers were not capable of dealing with the problem by themselves for Team Rocket had come well prepared. She did indeed have a lot to deal with but not a lot to work with. Perhaps she should find out what Pokemon she had come to possess.

A unique bipedal pokemon emerged from the red emanation of energy that followed the release of the opaque capsule. It was the ground and ghost type Pokemon native to Unova, Golett! The confused Pokemon in the unfamiliar environment looked around hastily. Unaware of how she had ended up there, she looked at the trainer with much curiosity. After a good inpsection of her from where it stood, the Pokemon decidedto be distrustful of her (wut) and crossed its arms looking away, indifferent to her presence.

The incoherrent Pokemon disregarded all that was said to it except for the part where it was allowed to leave if it should so desire. Golett looked at walking away as something he would choose to do and not something that he was given permission to do so. Distrustful in nature, he did not have any reason to believe anything Alice said. Although the Miltank stampede was to be seen clearly, the small bipedal did not want anything to do with the larger herd that it thought was capable of mercilessly obliterating it with no remorse. Risking its life for a cause it did not understand did not seem like an attractive option. Furthermore, it had no reason to trust that Alice was its savior.

Maybe she should not have offered its freedom for the Golett chose to abandon the trainer and leave her to deal with her problems on her own. Casually taking its own time, the Pokemon prodded away to nowhere in particular.

Emmett had been screaming frantically before her arrival and even after. His face had momentarily lit up when he saw Alice arrive but then continued to scream afterwards. Her Pokemon were safe in his coat. Reaching in, he heaved two capsules in Alice's direction! Still hooked onto the shiny Miltank's horn, he was dragged along after he had released two of her Pokemon. As fate would have it, her two weakest Pokemon emerged from their capsules. Both were oddly colored; The shiny Riolu and the pink Pachirisu! How did Alice plan on dealing with this situation..?

The entire herd immediately fell for the two foreign Pokemon. It would seem as if each one of them was female, and they were for all Miltank were. Pachirisu's additional move catalyzed the hurdling movements. Each one of them disregarded everything around them except for the two Pokemon owned by Alice. Mooing loudly, they flopped around hastily as they attempted to reach the two cute Pokemon and accelerated vigorously, much like many things have lately for Alice. Emmett was still stuck on the leader's head and her odd blue color was particularly ethereal when she came closer. Unless Alice had a good plan, her party and herself would be trample to death any second now :v

The cows were utterly obfuscated. Disoriented, they ran about everywhere trying to catch the agile males but to no avail. The hordes were no longer together and had broken up into multiple groups but without the collective leader they had lost track of, the aimless Miltank (p.) just ran about in circles and since a good majority of them were confused, they eventually fell over in their dazed states. Riolu connected with Feint but the move did not hit hard enough to cause significant damage but the trainer had pulled off what she had intended to, for the man with the rest of her Pokemon was now free! However....

Another confused Miltank stamped him and trampled all over him just after he had been set free, and he had been taken down before he had hit the ground! Needless to say he was knocked out old but only to be picked up by a third Miltank whose horn caught his coat and took him away into the hordes of confused cows!

The lead miltank was struck twice consequetively by the Riolu and for both moves were super effective, even with her enormous health she had been unable to take the blows and remain standing. She could not even make it through the Sky uppercut, which had toppled her over and the force palm was just adding salt to her wounds. Temporarily incapacitated, she lay there helplessly, her herd now no longer under her control. The confused Miltank tripped over the grass knots and some were paralyzed by the nuzzle. All the mobocracy were still imminent but the cows were now dormant and it was their presence in multitudes and their noisiness that was the cause of the trouble. Alice had singlehandedly done whatthe entire island could not for the stampede was no longer entitled to being called one! The confused cows did not bother to recuperate or act in aggression and instead chose to lay in their places and moo, some on their backs and the others on their bellies, most paralyzed but all floored.

Emmett was among the Miltank, and was worse off. He was unconscious and although not bloody, may have suffered a concussion. All of Alice's pokemon would be in his lab coat. The man was accessible..

Emmett slowly opened his eyes and got up. The heal pulse had healed the man's bruises and pain but he still felt dizzy from all the thrashing about. Stumbling about, he aw Alice and panicked. He did suffer a concussion and did not correctly recall the events that had led up to the current situation. He had told the girl to wait for him at a vacant room and then turned around after which he did not recall anything at all. The man never did have any intentions to be seen working with Alice, for his loyalty was still with his organization and for that very reason had tried to conceal Alice during their escape. He recognized her despite her outfit and seeing her Pokemon, his suspicions were confirmed. Although the area seemed to be free of Team Rocket members other than Emmett and Alice's disguise, the loyal lab worker was not aware of this.

Panicking, he shrieked and ran about.

"What happened?!?" Emmet stopped in place and exclaimed. Looking at the numerous miltank, he had no recollection whatsoever of the stampede that had dragged him along, and was confused by their presence. Was this Mikan island, or Miltank island?! The massive numbers mystified him for he hadn't seen so many of their kind together, ever. The blue one particularly interested him.. He had heard of the stampede but had not expected this many Miltank, and the shiny one was very attractive up close. He almost wanted to grab it and make a run for it, his boss would be proud.. perhaps he should.. he stared at the blue cow in a dreamy sort of way.

Emmett gritted his teeth and huffed. What did she think of him? Emmett's Pokemon may have had the capacity to challenge Alice's to battle and fight her for the Miltank or better yet, steal it from her as Team Rocket grunts routinely do with the Pokemon of other trainers. He did not take kindly to being underestimate and he reached for a capsule in his pocket. His grip on the Pokeball tightened as he weighed his options. Looking around, he saw no sign of Jeremy, and he considered his obligations to him fulfilled for he felt he had gone through enough trouble for a silly bet he had lost. On the other hand, she did just save him from imminent death. He was lucky indeed that the girl hadn't decided to let him die.

However, she did have external motives, for he had possessed her Pokemon and had been hooked onto the shiny Miltank's horn earlier, and Alice desired the blue cow as much as he did. He sighed and then scowled at the trainer before heaving his capsule in the air. A Pidgeot would come out of the Pokeball and screech. He had no further obligations here and did not want to risk being spotted with Alice. "Consider this a favor." He stated in a rough tone before climbing onto the bird, "Don't let me see your face again!" With that the bird flew away with her trainer. Emmett had decided to show his appreciation to her saving of him by not causing her any more trouble. Then again, Hunter did ask Alice to dispose off Emmett and by that his intended implication had been to incapacitate him to keep him from disrupting the rescue mission which was going on. As it happened, Emmett was one of the stronger Team Rocket members in the island.

And it would seem that he was headed towards the Team Rocket base..

Although the green Zweilous had been very difficult to deal with in the past, measures had been taken by Alice recently to ensure his satisfaction and content. Much to the trainer's surprise, the dragon obediently turned around and nudged for Alice to get on. She knew that she was the only one of her trainer's Pokemon capable of carrying her to her location. She had decided to direct all her anger to Team Rocket, the ones responsible for all the misfortune they had been put through. In addition to doing this as a gesture of appreciation for her trainer, she was doing it for her own purposes as well for she wanted the organization's downfall as much as her trainer did.

As she stood in place weighing her options, her thoughts would be interrupted by a loud sound of shattering glass. The pieces rained down upon the ground bit by bit but even they were interrupted for a man had burst through them and had reached the ground before them. Only, he had travelled a much farther distance and had been outlined in a psychic aura. It would appear that he had not forced through but instead it was he who was. The man, whoever he may be, was beyond the shadow of a doubt in dire need of medical attention. From the large crevice that had been made, a familiar Alakazam presented itself. Alice happened to be facing the Pokemon and the man had been only a few meters ahead of her. The Pokemon did not seem content to give her the time to identify him and stared right at her as if it too, did remember her. Regardless, it stood dormant with her empty glare gazing upon Alice, before being ambushed by an Umbreon from behind and dragged back inside, allowing Alice to go forth and check on the injured individual.

As she would step closer, Alice would hear the endless chaos taking place within the base. Sounds of pure mobocracy caused by the altercation going on inside would intensify greatly. It was the dreadful sound of the screeches of Pokemon fighting each other and the screaming hostages, and the angry trainers and the arrogant grunts battling it out destroying fortunes worth of equipment contained inside. The team sent to rescue the captives were barely keeping up with their opponents and were stuck in the middle floor of the building, unable to reach the top where the executive seemed to be and from where the specimen before her had plunged to his possible death for he lay there motionless with his blood oddly splattered across the cement surface.

Much to the victim's delight, the base happened to be only three floors high, and although he may or may not be crippled for the rest of his life, he may just live to tell the tale. The Alakazam had made it so that he landed solely on his back and its failure to liberate the victim from its psychic grip as soon as he was forced through the glass had resulted in a cushioned landing of sorts. Nevertheless, he had scraped the ground to leave a trail of blood and had hit hard regardless. Dazed, he would murmur and begin to slip away, losing consciousness. The specimen was none other than Jeremy and given what she had just seen, she would be unwise to think he was given a chance to battle for he had been attacked by a man with no value for honor, the perfect kind of person to take the role of a team rocket executive.

Alice, the strongest trainer presently in Miltank Island, did not have much time. In order to prevent such things from happening to the rest of the trainers for most were much less agile than Jeremy, some merely adoloscent.
