Galactic(2)

Rune was also of a similar issue to Gaia though only as far as size was concerned since he was also a royal variant. While not likely to destroy the forest by walking through it since he could fly he would be seen from miles away due to his size. He wasn't out of the race entirely because of this but he had to have an argument to counter this issue. Then of course there was Vulcan and Tank who for all intents and purposes were good choices here. Vulcan was neither too big or destructive to it's surroundings thanks to having a few physical type moves that it was quite proficient with.-

In addition to extreme speed it was my fastest pokemon and could cause serious chaos in the ambushers numbers. The biggest issue here though was I had no idea what the typings of the pokemon being used against me were and could very likely be water types since it countered my teams big hitters, Vulcan and Gaia. More likely than not though it would be poison or dark types as those were well liked by criminals.-

Honestly speaking Tank was the easiest to decide on as he was perfect for the role and didn't really have any downsides. Like obviously there was type advantage to consider but as I didn't know the exact composition of the group sent to kill me that was a pointless thing to think about. In the end we chose to go with a team composition of Tank, Hades and Rune after some debate. With that settled I balled up the rest of my pokemon and reinforced my body with aura. With a loud "CRACK!" the ground broke as I stomped down on it to propel myself forward.-

Hades smoky form coiled around my body like a demonic miasma as I ran full tilt towards the ambush while Rune and Tank shot ahead through the air. "CONTACT!" I heard a yell as they clearly were spotted and all hell broke loose on the route. "THWUB!" a pulse of paralyzing energy left Rune immediately incapacitating a number of people and pokemon. Screams soon followed as Tank joined in with powder moves. By the time I finally caught up the scene was not pleasant to look at. The people had the weird cyan dyed hair that galactic had in the game while their outfits were a strange mix of white space age material and silver detailing.-

Clearly things hadn't gone to plan for these people as a good twelve of the twenty five people sent after me had been incapacitated. They had managed to get their pokemon out though as there was several dozen pokemon chasing after my two that knew better than to sit still in battle. Rune and Tank both continuously flew above the battlefield at high speeds bombarding the nonflying pokemon while dodging the attacks of the ones that could fly. -

'From the looks of it I got lucky with the choice of pokemon I used judging by the many water types I see.' I thought as I panned a critical eye across the battlefield. I never stopped though but ran full tilt at the bunched up humans from Galactic that clearly didn't understand how standing in a tight grouping was a bad idea. Only one of these people were able to notice my charge and get widened eyes before I plowed into the group shoulder checking two of their number immediately. "Eye and limbs!" I called immediately and Hades cackled in malicious glee as it's smoky form exploded in every direction, screams of agony soon followed.-

"Eyes and limbs" was part of a set of orders I developed with Hades cruel nature in mind. The way the set worked was that more or less I listed out the body parts it was to attack and it went after those and ONLY those. In this case I told it to blind and cripple these people, after all the quest said nothing about their condition beyond alive. I had no mercy for those that wanted my life and was more than happy to let Hades get it's fill of suffering to content it if only temporarily.-

The Galactic members pokemon clearly heard and felt the agony of their trainers and turned their attention this way but that was a mistake. Rune and Tank capitalized on this lapse in attention to unleash devastating attacks on them. Soon enough the last of the pokemon went down and the battle was over. Frankly speaking I was a little offended by how weak these people were as not a single pokemon was above the lower end of Ace. Numbers were dangerous true but quality almost always trumps quantity.-

In this case Rune and Tank were both almost sixty to seventy levels higher than these pokemon all while being anomalously powerful variants at the same time. If anything it sort of made me regretful that I hadn't only used a single pokemon to handle this matter as it was totally doable in hindsight. "Ah whatever, time to kick up a storm it seems." I muttered with a sigh as I dialed up the Jenny clan in Sinnoh and reported what happened. Within an hour Byron and twenty Jenny's showed up via flying pokemon.-

"By the three! I heard about the condition you left your enemies in but to see it in person..." Byron said recoiling a bit at the gruesome sight. "They are lucky to still be breathing, I don't like leaving my enemies alive." I said calmly. "I shudder to think of the damage you could do if you ever turned on the league." he said seriously. "That's one line I won't cross, I'm not stupid enough to make an enemy of the entire world after all." I said honestly. "While relieving to hear this scene doesn't exactly paint you in the nicest light." he said seriously.-

"Why did you take their eyes!?" one of the Jenny's demanded angrily. I merely looked down on the woman calmly despite her tone. "They failed to see how this was a poor decision so now they'll never see again, seems a fitting punishment in my opinion." I said honestly. "And who made you judge and jury then!?" she demanded and I just laughed "The league did or have you not seen my file? My job is to take care of scum like this for the league when I come across them and the league merely turns a blind eye to how I do so." I explained satisfied at seeing her stricken look as understanding dawned on her.
