"Aw, the poor thing." Leafeon whined, looking down at the unconscious Electrode as she climbed down from Glaceon's shoulders (who was still holding the Taurus at bay, I might add). Kneeling down by the Electrode, she began administering the Revive that was tossed at it as she patted the top of it as she spoke, "You should treat him with more respect than that, I'm sure he's got plenty of talents besides blowing himself up, you just gotta give him a chance!"
Glaceon, meanwhile, stared down at this. If his eyes were visible, you could sure as
Hell bet that you'd see them going as wide as humanly possible, and probably then some. As soon as the shock took a few seconds to subside, Glaceon turned back towards the Taurus, grunting as he put forth even more effort and stomped the ground, causing the floor beneath the Taurus to freeze over, making it lose its footing enough so that he could toss the bull Pokemon down on its side. Before it could even land on the floor, though, Glaceon kept going with the momentum of the push, spinning around as he brought his leg out, giving a hard kick to the (now-revived) Electrode, sending it flying back at Donut's head.
"Hey, that's not very nice!" Leafeon huffed, "Just because
they're mean doesn't mean their Pokemon should suffer."
In response, Glaceon reached down to the kneeling Leafeon, grabbed her by both shoulders, lifting her to her feet in such a way so that she was facing Glaceon, and then simply stared at her. After a brief, awkward silence, Glaceon then slowly shook his head in disapproval.
Meanwhile, Salisbury was less than pleased with what was going on, slowly lifting her steak knife, her grip so tense that her hand visibly shook with it. Taking full advantage of the ranger duo being distracted, she threw the knife without a noise, still sitting at her table, the knife landing directly in front of the Taurus' eyes. Immediately understanding, the Taurus frantically stumbled up onto its feet, using the momentum of it almost falling back over to charge directly at the icy blue brute's back.
Fortunately for Glaceon, between the unstable nature of the charge and the heftiness of his armor, he got away with only a scratch in the metal of one of his boots. Although perhaps "got away" isn't quite the appropriate word choice, as he was now in the air, along with Leafeon, flipping over the back of the Taurus. While he was taken fully by surprise, Glaceon was not about to take this sitting down, taking full advantage of the opportunity as he grabbed onto Leafeon by her midsection, then launched her in the direction of the boy that called him a walking fridge. With a loud
CRASH, Leafeon landed a few yards away from the boy, papers going everywhere from the impact.
"So, uh..." Leafeon stuttered out from a combination of nervousness and dizziness as she carefully sat up, shaking her head, "...are you even really, like... with those other two?" She was now looking over to the boy, not even so much as bothering to stand up, "I mean, I get that you're still robbing this place, which is kind of awful, and you did threaten us, but compared to those two, you don't seem nearly as..." Crazed? Deluded? Unstable? "...
violent."
Meanwhile, Glaceon was now riding the Taurus, being bucked around as if her were at the rodeo. Slowly, though, it was starting to slow down, starting to be visibly chilled from a hand Glaceon had on its side. For the time being, though, it was still stubbornly going strong.
---------------------
"...Huh." was about all Jolteon could manage to say to this woman's...
antics. He seemed to look almost impressed as he looked over the Electabuzz. After a brief moment, he looked back over his shoulder, calling out, "Hey, Water Boy, feel free to help any time, by the way. I figure I can at least trust you to take on that dude and his
fearsome Caterpie, at least, but just tell me if the little bugger's
too much for you." With a chuckle, Jolteon turned back towards the Electabuzz.
"As for me, well..." he began, bringing a hand towards his mouth (for as little much as that would do with his helmet) and cleared his throat, "Do a Flippy-Zappy Strike, me, and make it personal. Think you can handle that, me? Of course I can, as long as I have you at my back, me." Before he went on, though, Jolteon went a bit limp, letting out a contemplative sigh. "Eh, think I killed it." he said, seeming disappointed, "Well, let's see if I can get two-for-two on killing it." With that, he leaped into the air towards the Electabuzz, kicking off its face with his bootless foot (getting plenty of static electricity on his sock in the process), leaping even further so as to land behind the Vietnamese girl, standing on one (considerably more boot-covered) foot, quickly taking off one of his gloves in the process of spinning around, jabbing a finger into her back as he nearly whispered the word, "
Zap." And zapped she was. Not so much any of this magic or technological or whatever it was zapping, though, so much as just a nasty shock of static electricity.
Meanwhile, while you couldn't really tell past that black
sheet cloak he refused to take off, "Steve" was frowning so hard right now. "Look, just because he's small, doesn't mean... I just..." he said indignantly, trying to defend his precious Caterpie, but quickly deflated as he just let out a sigh, "Just... just use String Shot or something, Caterpie. Aim for the legs, maybe you can trip him if you try really hard. Just... try not to get squashed by him if he does."
To its credit, the Caterpie did seem more than ready to do its duty, standing proudly (at least, as much so as a little caterpillar thing even
can stand, proudly or not) as it fiercely spat silken string at Vaporeon's feet. Which, I mean... it was all coming from the front, not wrapping around his feet or anything, so I mean... maybe if he danced flailed his feet around, he'd managed to get tangled up and fall. Maybe.
