Ichtacya starts shivering from the cold, the joy of seeing yet anoher Eeveelution pretty much gone for the moment.

Ichtacya — <Brrr.....> — clinches teeth. — <Re-8HPally now?>

Maekrite -sizes Icicle up — <Ugh... I'm not gonna last enough and Dintel comes next...>

"This looks ugly, isn't it? You two, try to deal with Marine first, Thunderbolt and Razor Leaf."

Ichtacya — <Right!>

She spins and unleashes six Razor Leaves, three to each Eeveelution, while Maekrite circles around Marine trying to place Icicle in between then and draws an arc of electricity passing over him, from himself to Marine.

Ichtacya — <Perhaps we can still do t-16HPeugh....> — coughs heavily.

Aqua: <You can do it, Ichtacya! :3> *yip*

-Marine gets hit by the double Grass and Electric attack-

Marine: <Not fair, dad...> -faints-

Forte: -recalls Marine- It's all up to you now, Icicle! Blizzard!

Icicle: -appears from the shadows- <I may be outnumbered, but I can still handle this.>

-Icicle launches a wave of cold air at both opponents, then goes back to hiding in the hailstorm-

-sitting, while DS sleeps against me-

-watching the battles-

Katie: -Crewe's room is frozen in time, it seems-

Sassafras: -is working on manipulating her Obscura to make herself resemble Crewe-

-Is walking around Rustboro-

-Fool gets up and starts walking, oblivious to the fact that she has donned vaporeon features and heads out too the sea-

-Taking a breath, Fool dives into the Water and starts swimming-

And so it begins

Rustboro City

Gang of Zigzagoon: *comes out of a back alley and surrounds Straw*

Don Zigzagoon: <You look a little lost.>

Gang of Zigzagoon: *close in on Straw menacingly*

Don Zigzagoon: <Well, let me tell you something, human...> *gestures with his paw* <There's a Pokemon Center just north of here. You can probably find a map there. :3>

Gang of Zigzagoon: *disperse, but not before knocking over a trash can*

Don Zigzagoon: *spray paints Zigzagoon RULEZ! on a nearby building before fleeing with his gang*

...Okay...

Aurora:<Random.>

Krakatau:<Chase them?>

Bonecrusher:<Well, we don't have anything else to do right now.>

Caliburn:<Let us give chase then!>

-we chase the Zigzagoon-

Gang of Zigzagoon: *notices Straw chasing them*

Zigzagoon Gang Member: <Oh no, it's the fuzz! D:>

Don Zigzagoon: <Everyone split up...and commit random acts of vandalism as you do so!>

Gang of Zigzagoon: *split into three groups of two and begin causing mischief*

Zigzagoon Group #1: *throw discarded Poke coins into the fountain* <Littering!>

Zigzagoon Group #2: *climb onto a stop light, teasing a Wingull* <Harassment!>

Zigzagoon Group #3: *take pictures with a tourist family* <Paparazzi!>

Naida:<Not so fast!> -Freezes some Zigzagoon-

Bonecrusher:<Hey! Leave them alone!> -attempts to shoo the Zigzagoon off of the light-

Zigzagoon Group #1: <Eep!> *frozen*

Zigzagoon A of Group #2: <Nya nya! :3> *sticks out his tongue at Bonecrusher*

Zigzagoon B of Group #2: <Hehe~> *tickles the Wingull*

Wingull: *flails as he tries to escape*

Zigzagoon Group #3: *still taking pictures* ^_^

Maekrite chuckles at Marine, then advances a bit trying to figure out where Icicle is.

"Oh FFFFFF a Blizzard! Endure, Maekrite! Ichtacya, do... something!"

Maekrite prepares himself as the cold wind blows while Ichtacya is rapidly blown by the hit. She manages to stand on her feet and prepares to Quick Attack in Icicle's direction...

Ichtacya — <I-I-I don't think I can han-32HP~ @_@> — faints.

Maekrite sniffs around in the direction the Blizzard came from and after shaking some cold off himself, starts growling.

"Hmmm... I'll need you to hold a little more, Maekrite. Dintel, go!"

Silent sends out [Dintel the Sandshrew♂], who sits in the ground and starts chilling.

Dintel — <Brrr.... I can have cold gone?> — is buffeted by the Hail.

"Not yet, Dintel... Dig your away and try to sense Icicle's presence. Maekrite, Hone Claws, then blast a couple of Thunderbolts or Poison Stings! I need Icicle to move!"

Dintel digs his way beneath the battle, while Maekrite moves around and after honing his claws, leaps up to the air and starts following Poison Stings around him.

Caliburn:-Drags the Zigzagoon taking pics and two others away, dropping them in the nearby pond.-

Aurora, Krakatau and I:-Is chasing the Don-

Aqua: <Awww...oh, it's the ghost that played with me before! :3>

~~~

Gang of Zigzagoon: <Oh no!> *have been caught*

Don Zigzagoon: *hides under a park bench* :3 *paws at Straw's shoes*

Forte: Icicle, Frost Breath on that Nidorino!

-Icicle emerges from the hail once again to breathe icy breath on Maekrite, scoring a critical hit-

Icicle: <Everything's better when it's cold.> -hops away-

Krakatau:<Hello.> -Blows an Ember under the bench, being careful not to burnt the bench-

"Damn... Maekrite!"

Maekrite shrieks from the cold and the critical hit, then is buffeted by the hailstorm, losing even more power.

Maekrite — <Ugh... can't... feel much... I'm nearly done for... No strength left to thrust my horn...>

Dintel emerges with a punch nearby from where Icicle was before hopping away.

Dintel — <.....Uck!> — is buffeted by the hailstorm. — <W-What? I wanted to hit it with my claw...>

"Come on, Dintel, Defense Curl into a Rollout and Maekrite, Hone Claws again to improve your accuracy and Sludge Bomb as soon as you feel Icicle moving!"

Maekrite -points with a paw — <Went that way, shrew...>

Dintel curls into a ball and then Rollouts away into the hailstorm, while Maekrite follows in for a moment, scanning the air while charging a Sludge Bomb.

-Dintel scores a direct hit on Icicle-

Icicle: <Ow!>

Forte: Icicle, get ready to Mirror Coat that incoming Sludge Bomb!

Icicle: <Right!>

-Icicle forms an ice-blue shield around himself-

-Gets up, dusts self off and looks around-

Ouch...

-Looks at the orb, decides to stow it in my bag-

Great, just great...

Heading home.

Don Zigzagoon: *digs underground, avoiding the flames* <Haha! And that's why I'm the don! :3> *dig dig digs over to his gang to save them*

Aurelia snarls warningly at Peppermint, then stands up and stalks over to the door, muzzle in the air. <Girls, we're going. This company is simply deplorable.>

Amberjack scurries after her. Nova excuses herself from Cayenne with a small smile and follows them. Aurelia paws at the doorknob until it turns, then pushes it open with her muzzle. The two young Pokemon follow.

Crewe chuckles at Sassafras. "Where'd you find her?"

Maekrite hears Dintel having score the hit in the direction he went away, so he charges up and fires the Mirror Coat before I can warn him.

"...Darn. Dintel, where are you!!!"

Dintel is buffeted by the hailstorm, then he continues rollouting somewhere and turns more-or-less the way he came from to look for another hit, but with the hail he is pretty lost.

Aurora:<What now?>

Nothing, we've had our fun.

-We go to go and get the others-

-Icicle's shield shatters, sending shards of itself impacting Maekrite-

Forte: All right! Now where did that Sandshrew go...?

Forte: Get an Ice Beam ready for the next time you see him!

Icicle: <Right.> -starts charging up an ice beam-
