[/I] Her gaze fell on her human, who was standing in somewhat of a daze. Setting down Styl and Scilde, she said, ”Well, we’ve got a few options. You can put him in your bag so he won’t be seen, catch him with a Pokeball and release him later if he wants it, or get through Route 2 as fast as possible until we reach Silav town.” «
► Ajax’s backwards momentum sent him careening back across the Route, but he gasped as he yanked the cage from Larry’s grip—it was pretty heavy. He swung the cage upward so he could carry it with both hands instead of just having it dangle from his claw, wincing as the edge of the steel screeched across the metal exoskeleton on his shoulder and then slashed across his chest, earning his shirt a rip and a good cut horizontally across the chest, under the collarbone. It was deep enough that it would stay as a scar for at least a couple years. Ajax even stumbled a bit; again, his Scizor DNA saved him, his wings immediately snapping open to adjust his balance. «
► Larry was beginning to gain on him, and strained to run faster. His agility saved him as he swerved aside a couple times when the grunt made grabs for the cage. The Scizor morph gritted his teeth—he knew the cage was weighing him down too much. In a swift movement, he tore off the lock with his claw, reached in and grabbed the fainted Zigzagoon with his left hand, allowing the cage to drop. Now that the impediment was gone, Ajax was able to run as quickly as he had before, not stopping until Larry broke off the chase and fled. Staying standing in case the grunt was planning some sort of sneak attack, he peered at the Zigzagoon, cradling it in one arm. His wings hummed behind him, desperately regulating his temperature; Ajax couldn’t sweat. ”Pokemon Center,” Ajax said hastily, regaining his breath quickly in spite of the dash he had made earlier. Then he paused, worried. He still had to get through Route 2 before getting to the first town. He could go back to the lab—the Professor might know how to treat the Zigzagoon. Even so…ugh, even a Potion wouldn’t help; those only worked on non-fainted Pokemon. Curse it all. «
► Nyx gave an amused nod at the seriously angry Poochyena dæmon. She was tempted to continue the chase after Larry (after all, he might lead herself and Ajax back to his Team’s base, and that would be an enticing discovery) but she knew with Poochyena’s ability of Run Away, it would be incredibly difficult to trail Larry. Instead she decided to think about what he had said. Team Su-wasa. We’ll have to keep a lookout for them. And they needed that shiny Zigzagoon’s DNA for…what? She quickly ran through various possibilities in her mind, soaring back to where Ajax was and trying to ignore the wriggles from Styl and Scilde, who were still dangling from her talons. Cloning, genetic sequencing, genetic enhancement, study on strength and shiny gene, shiny Pokemorphs.
► Ajax nodded a bit mutely and began walking towards the end of Route 1 towards Route 2 again, the Zigzagoon still in the crook of his arm. Styl and Scilde trailed after him and Nyx flapped above. «
