53 | Video/Action for Saffron City
[As if the Pokémon Centers being destroyed yesterday wasn’t enough chaos, Cobra Commander’s decided to launch an attack of his own today. The video feed displays the entrance to the Saffron City Gym, and no, he didn’t ice over someone’s door again. Instead, a Hyper Beam from somewhere behind the camera blasts the doors open. And if the Gear signal wasn’t enough evidence as to the attacker’s identity, Cobra Commander yelling orders probably is.]
Excellent! Now that the entrance is breached, attack! Attack!
[Several of Cobra’s more loyal Pokémon, like Arbok, Abomasnow, and Skarmory can be seen heading through what’s left of the doors before the feed cuts out.]
{OOC: Network responses will be during the attack, and for action, feel free to confront him either inside the Gym where he’s making a mess of things or while he’s trying to make an escape. Just let me know which one!}

action
Thaaat'd be Ace, and she's gonna attempt to use Force Palm to slow him down.
The Hyper Beam hits out of sheer dumb luck, and Quake angrily retaliates by using Earth Power. Flare takes a moment to Roost while keeping his eyes locked on Cobra.
When Riku gets Slashed, Blade rushes over to him, throwing yet another angry fit! She might not have a type advantage, but she'll happily nail Strato-Viper with another Superpower. Bad bird! You're not like Gear at all!
In the mean time, Riku forces himself back on his feat. After taking three attacks now, he's definitely running out of steam. He's getting a little nauseous as the read splotches on his skin spread. What the heck...?]
action
You’ll pay for that! And what’s wrong with you?
[That almost looks like some of the side effects from the experiment, but this guy’s definitely not a Rocket, right? It's not like the Commander has time to be wondering things like this anyway!]
Whatever’s wrong with you better not be contagioussss! Ssstrato-Viper! Sand Attack! Kick up as much sand as you possibly can!
[That way he can flee if needed.]
A.S.P.!
[Oh wait, that thing’s recharging, paralyzed, and almost out of HP.]
Never mind! Just sssit there and be useless!
[Not that it’ll do much, but he’ll attempt to use Payback on Ace to buy some time.]
action
Thankfully for Strato-Viper, the Sand Attack does make it considerably harder to attack, but that's not gonna stop Draco from spamming some Flamethrower and Thunderbolt.
At this point, Blade and Flare are hurrying over to Riku, who clutches onto his head. His eyes have turned red, and his teeth are aching.
Still, he manages a dry remark.]
If it is contagious... then I hope you get it.
action
Having successfully attacked, Cobra’s going to take this moment to recall Pawniard and Hypno from wherever they dropped.
And really, why not be petty at this point?]
Well, I hope you catch this!
[Cobra Commander used Fling, and tossed a rock at Riku!]
action
But despite his aching head, Riku gets back on his feet, stepping closer to his flaming dragon.]
Wow, I guess even villains use bad puns.
[Quake is gonna try at least one final attack but Ace is already retreating towards the other Pokémon. With Riku in pain, it's better that they leave rather than risk any more injuries, really.
Even Draco stops spamming fire and lightning after Ace barks at him a little. He glares and beats his fists against his chest, but slowly floats to the rest of the group.]
action
[Wait.
Are they retreating? Someone’s retreating and it’s not Cobra Commander? This feels…unfamiliar. Oh well, time to start gloating.]
And where do you think you’re going? Have you finally come to your senses and realized you can't defeat the mighty forces of Cobra?
action
[You know what? Much as his team wants him to get out of there... Riku looks down at Flare and shakes his head.
Though Flare shoots him a skeptical look...
He flies forward, firing yet another Flamethrower.]
action
Retreat! Retreaaaaaat! Everyone back in the Gym! Get out of my way you idiot!
[He'll just run back inside the Gym for cover now.]
action
Yeah, Riku and Flare are gonna chase after him. Juuust to see what he does.]
action
Why are you following me? Don’t you know when to give up?
[Wait, he has an idea. A possibly very bad idea, but still, it’s an idea!]
And besides, you’ve fallen right into my trap! All of you outside, attack!
[They’re not really in any condition to do so, but hopefully that’ll buy him enough time to use a Faint Attack and run back outside.]
action
And... Flare is just gonna zip outside, too, stopping right in front of the door.
Really, Riku's expecting Cobra to flee, but it is pretty fun to mess with him.]
action
[Because there clearly hasn’t been enough property damage already today, there’s another hole in the side of the Gym now! And Cobra’s going to try and escape that way.]
