ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Sholto: <...Hm.>

Akim'bleer: <...That's a ways down, dude.>

Sholto: <Yeah. Hop on.>

-Akim'bleer gets on Sholto's back and he heads down the shaft-

Zrone's Base

-The water shurikens are repelled and absorbed into the robots, and their chests open up and release a storm of sharpened needles down on the pair-

-The Grass Knot ends up utterly destroying one and breaking the arm and leg off another, the other three avoid it-

-As he heads down another thirty feet, another giant hallway extends out-

-Down it several more robots are smashed, though halfway through the hallway there's a massive pile of rubble cutting it off-

-There is one room on both the left and the right side of the hall accessible, one with a large wall of monitors, and seems to extend past the rubble, the other is a lab where a poor Zubat is being fitted with mechanical parts, squirming in the grip of several mechanical arms-

Sinnoh Skies

-One of the drones is shot down by the initial Dragon Pulse raid, but the other, with far more maneuverability than Draca, nimbly dodges it and takes another Ice Beam shot, though at Tagg this time-

-The two look at the surroundings and notice the Lab Zubat-

Akim'bleer: <...That looks messed up, dude.>

Sholto: <Yeah.>

-Sholto heads that way and he and Akim'bleer search for a way to turn the machines off-

Zrone's Base

Jason:...well, that could have gone better.

-He puts his arms up to block a few needles.-

-A few get jammed in his robotic arm-

...

>:|

You're paying for that. I just got this tuned.

-Senshi tries to Psychic one bot into another as Jason throws one of his signature exploding aura rings at another-

Sinnoh Skies

Damn it!

-Forms an Aura blade and deflects the Ice Beam at the drone-

Shinobi: <-!>

-Shinobi jumps again to avoid the worst of the needles, taking a few scratches before firing an Ice Beam-

Zrone's Base

-As they go in and explore the lab, there appears to be no way to properly deactivate the arms in this room-

-The Zubat cries as a bolt is screwed into its wing, holding a metal fixture in place-

-The Psychic blast seems to do minimal damage, as does the impact of the two robots being bashed together, they just bounce off each other and fall down the elevator shaft-

-The one Aura ringed seems completely unaffected-

-It appears these models were designed to be incredibly aura resistant-

-It goes to prepare a Water Shuriken, and is frozen by the Ice Beam, it looks down at it's near useless hands and scrambles to try holding on to the walls, and slides and falls to the bottom of the shaft, with an audible SMASH-

Sinnoh Skies

-The Drone is frozen and falls towards the earth-

-And ends up embedding itself in the Oreburgh Gym's roof-

Zrone's Base

Jason:Wheeeew...

-He begins to pick needles out of his arm-

Arceus damn, I mean...yeesh. Needles, Aura Resistance, what's next, water cannons?

Akim'bleer: <...I can't find anything, dude.>

Sholto: <Ngh...>

-He tries to cut one of the arms with an Aerial Ace-

Hearthome, Yesterday

The Abomasnow takes the thunder waves, but momentum keeps it going, and it flings EJ into the wall, cracking the plaster and knocking him out. It roars triumphantly, and slowly shuffles towards him, paralysis not dampening its bloodlust.

-Blitz tries to block a blow with this blade, but is shoved back a bit before dashing and trying to jump onto Vladir's legs, to a position where he can stab into the hole in the helmet-

Shinobi: <Hah... Trust me. He's got more models that aren't robotic replicas of your friendly neighborhood weremon>

-Shinobi pulls a Sitrus berry out of his bag to munch on while looking down the shaft for any signs of still active robots, and assuming there are none starts to find a spot to start climbing down the shaft-

Hearthome Center, past

-As EJ goes flying-

..This is why proper procedure when catching dangerous mons is to seal the ball.

-To the Abomasnow, Helios summoning a Sunny Day as a whole bunch of other trainers in the Center, kinda worried about the seemingly out of control mon, start brandishing Poké Balls as some of my mons move in front of the unconscious EJ as a defensive wall-

What's your problem with that guy?

Sinnoh Skies, tonight

-Watches the drone crash into the Oreburgh Gym's roof-

...Damn it.

Draca: <It'll have to be dealt with later.>

-And we continue flying-

Zrone's Lab

-The arm holding its mechanical wing is cut like paper and it slumps, the other two arms suspending it's still unaugmented wing and main body-

-No sign of bots, so Shinobi starts on climbing down-

Sinnoh Skies

-Presuming he stays on course, no other mechanical monstrosities interrupt Tagg-

Old Chateau, 20 minutes before sunset.

Phaz: Yep. I think it's easy to assume that it's either near the TV, under the TV, behind the TV, in front of the TV, on the side of the TV, or inside the TV. Or maybe in that drawer over there, but i don't really think so. Volta ?

Volta: -coming out of his pokeball- <justletmesleepalreadymomspookytis... Uh? Yeah Phaz?>

Phaz: Could you check the insides of this TV for a key while i check every other place?

Volta: <Okay, i'm gonna do that. But i'll go back in the steel ball after this. Wanna sleep.>

Phaz: Okay.

-He goes in front of the TV and proceed to check every place near the TV, while Volta is checking inside.-

Volta: <Wow, it's compfy in there.>

Hearthome, Yesterday

The Abomasnow lets out a furious bellow, her eyes bloodshot. She's lost all reason, trying to get past Helios and crush her captor to pulp.

Zrone's base

-Jason makes a construct grappling hook to lower himself after Shinobi-

Jason:Yep. This's gonna be as pleasant as a million Quilfish jabbing ya...

-Sholto Aerial Aces the other two arms in addition-

Zrone's Base

-As the other two arms are cut, the Zubat is dropped on to the floor-

-It also immediately passes out-

-As Jason and Shinobi descend the elevator shaft, they eventually come to a rest in front of a giant hallway-

-Then the massive elevator lurches and starts to descend-

Akim'bleer: <...Are they okay, dude?>

Sholto: <...Let's give them a bit.>

-They wait to see if the Zubat will become conscious anytime soon-

Shinobi: <What happened to that DPS enthusiasm?>

-He chuckles and looks to the hallway where Jacob had his battle-

-Then the elevator moved-

Zrone's Base

-After a few moments, the Zubat starts to flutter-

<Eh... where... where am I..?>

-They flap and flap but their one steel wing prevents them from taking off-

-The elevator starts moving down, and after about half a minute stops at another large hallway, this one with rubble closing off half of it-

-If Jason and Shinobi look left, they'd see Sholto in a lab-

Zronebase

Jason:Kinda petered ut when my attacks didn't do much. But sti-

-Beat-

-Krow-

-Scan-

Sholto!

Akim'bleer: <Uh, you're in a lab made by a guy named Zrone, dude.>

<I'm not sure what he was trying to do to you, but it probably wasn't good.>

-Sholto hears the voice-

Sholto: <Hey, Jason. Didn't think you'd be here with Shinobi.>

Zrone's Lab

-The Zubat whines- <I-I can't fly... my wing... it's too heavy.... it hurts please get it off me...!>

-They keep flopping around on the floor-

Sholto: <Er, let me try this...>

-He sees if he can remove the screws with his beak, though this might just lead to an aching beak-
