SECOND SPELL ♒ VIDEO

[enchantingly]

[Good afternoon, Johto! Were you expecting a video of an attack happening on the Goldenrod Gym? No? Well too bad! It looks as though a huge raid is going down on the Gym today, and from the shaking video, it's clear this was a last-minute decision to broadcast it.]

Surrender now! We won't ask again!

[The voice is high-pitched and melodic. The man speaking is wearing the Team Rocket uniform and mask, but he does have some very identifying features. His hair is ridiculously long and bright green and his skin (what little can be seen of it) is a light gray with blue flecks. His hands are outstretched and closer to blue than gray, but it's not something that the camera focuses on for long. Instead, the video turns to focus on the trainers in the Gym. A blast of water - Hydro Pump - is fired at them before the video suddenly shuts off.]

[Should you find yourself in Goldenrod today you might hear quite the commotion coming from the Gym. If you choose to explore, you'll find a group of several Rockets fighting against the trainers. The man in the video - Abalon Demar - is acting like he owns the place and is blasting Hydro Pump attacks at anyone who dares get in his way. He's not the only one though; Luke, Harley, and Utau are all in the Gym as well!]

((OOC: This is an open mingle post! Feel free to direct your threads at any of the mentioned Rockets! If you don't specify a specific character, I'll throw Abalon at you to fight. He's been given level 5 Water powers and won't hesitate to use them. His Pokémon are incredibly weak and he won't be using them unless he needs backup. I would like to have Abalon escape for the time being (and keep his mask on!) but feel free to have your character notice the hair/voice/anything else you can pick up on!))

[Luke is wearing a mask over the lower half of his face along with his domino mask, hair tucked beneath his cap. There's so much of it that it threatens to spill out, half held down by psionic interference.

Mostly he's working on giving Abalon backup in the form of Confusion and Psybeam, occasionally warding off incoming attacks with Light Screen or Barrier. Playing support isn't his usualy role in battle, but Bruiser is defending him, using her newly-acquired Granbull size to knock back anyone trying to get at her trainer.

He would never have expected to find this fun--but it kind of is. Oh sure, a part of him knows it's wrong, technically, the part of him that made him extra-careful with his disguise, but here there's no danger of killing, their only objective is to knock out as many people and pokemon as they can and to wreak havoc. And wreaking havoc, as it turns out, is really, really cool.

His favorite part is using Hypnosis, and watching the humans go down like flies; it makes taking their pokemon so easy.]

[One thing Hoshina Utau is used to back in her world is hiding her identity with clothes when she's performing as Black Diamond. Women's rocket uniform is a new thing (at least she's wearing it for once), same with the mask (which by the way works a bit better than sunglasses), but hiding most of her hair beneath a hat isn't new at all.

Another thing she isn't used to are weak powers, but her electric powers are only at level 2 this week. Oh if she just had her own powers...

Well, level 2 or level 5, doesn't really matter when a girl wants go all out with them and that's what she's doing. There are reasons why she's considered as one of the strongest and most dangerous opponents in her homeworld, but that's got much to do with her powers back there too.

Surrender now? What's the fun in it if they surrender?

Doing criminal stuff isn't anything new to her, though the way Easter handled things was ...Different. Whatever. She was going to have fun here, or at least pretend like she's having fun and no one is going to assume otherwise because she's a perfect actress.

Oh hey, her Luxio is there too, they've been a good team when Utau's got the same element. Poor thing has gone through some intense training, though it's still a week away from evolving into a Luxray. ...Too bad, but it happens. Not letting her two other feline pokemon (Meowth and Glameow) out quite yet, and her Woobat probably doesn't even want to come out of her poke ball, but that's the bat's problem. It has kind of had enough of all the electricity and madness this week.

So, have one pretty fired up girl using electric powers on the humans, and everything else ever if she needs to do it. She might even combine her electricity with water whenever she gets the chance for it.]

[Harley's got to admit, this is actually pretty fun. Almost like home, really. The Rocket uniform and mask isn't as flashy as she might like, but the harlequin costume is still more or less unknown here. Having a criminal record attached to her real name wouldn't be anything new, but the higher-ups on Team Rocket seem to think it'd be a bad thing.]

You're doin' good Sweety, keep it up.

[For the moment, Harley's letting her Swoobat and Pansear do most of the work. Sweety is zipping around the gym and letting off Psychic attacks to knock people down, with Robin dashing below her on the ground, pilfering items and Pokeballs from concussed trainers.]

[Harley is firing off low-level Confusion attacks from a distance, knocking back anyone that looks like they're about to get the drop on her Pokemon.]
