Having received an important mission from his squad's boss, Harman had ordered Tobias off to the locale of Cherrygrove. Instructed very little on the mission he was informed he would need to break into a house and recover a supply of TMs without harming any of the home owners. Simple enough it seemed, he made his way over to the quaint city under the cover of night. Dressing himself up in the typical Team Rocket grunt jumpsuit, he had decided it would be useful in camouflaging himself under the cover of night. His party specialised for the mission, he arrived at the city just as the clock struck 23:00 on his C-Gear. Lowering his wrist, he came out of his hiding amongst a darkened alleyway. " This appears to be the building. Time for entry." Remaining as stealthy as possible, he pushed himself against the out wall perimeter and moved along it. Eventually following the building's walls around to the front, he locked at the door's security before him. " Hmph. A rather pathetic lock. Prometheus." He had planned on leaving the monkey out for this mission but it seemed the simian's innate affinity for fire would prove useful. " Melt the lock." Nodding his head enthusiastically, the monkey shimmied along the man's arm as he grabbed hold of the lock. Raising his temperature to melting point, the lock softened to the point it was no longer doing its job. Retreating back to Tobias' shoulder, the criminal used his gloved hand to pull away at the melted lock, allowing entry into the private residence. Hoping that this couple oiled their doors well, he kept a hand steady on the handle as he guided it open with his control. Now fully in the property, it seemed he had emerged into what appeared to be some sort of utility room. It's small constraints meant there was nothing of worth noting in the immediate area but what did catch his attention was something he noticed upon entering into the hallway. Adjacent down the hall was a room with its door slightly ajar, a warm light peering through as noise from a TV seemed to reach his ears. Not only had he decided on a night time invasion, he had timed it so that the couple would likely still be awake and together so he could deal with them early on. If they were asleep, it would have been more of a chore trying to locate and subdue them both at once. Especially with how he intended to do so. Calling forth a Pokemon as subtly as he could, it revealed the mad owl Blathers. Tilting its head manically from side to side, it awaited orders. Bringing his voice to a hushed dulcet tone, he made aware of what was about to unfold. " I open the door and grab their attention... You swoop in and use Hypnosis. Subdue them." Moving over and standing just by the doorway, his hand grabbed hold of the handle and as he slowly moved it open, he raised his voice in order to grab their attention. " Greetings, courtesy of Team Rocket!" Prometheus too chirped up, letting out a rather boisterous chimp out from Tobias' shoulder. That was more than enough to draw attention his way. Standing back as he ushered his Noctowl in, he awaited for the Pokemon's power of hypnosis to kick in. At which point he would then have free reign of the house in order to scour for the necessary loot crate. Whatever the superiors at Team Rocket wanted this for was beyond him but it would be at least useful in moving him up another wrung of the ladder. OOC: Operation Dig is a go. For the record, Prometheus is in Tobias' party but I won't be using him for the mission as I know it asks not to have any Pokemon above Level 28. Blathers uses Hypnosis on the couple in order to subdue them without harming.

Given loose requirements and recommendations in regards to his most recent mission, Tobias had free reigns on how to handle the situation, as long as he obtained the target by the end and successfully delivered it back to Team Rocket. The targets in question were a middle aged couple, the man well known from the Kanto region for creating the TM known as Dig. A useful move, not only in battle but to also help flee places such as dark caves and create all around destruction, Team Rocket still had their eye on the family, even after transferring to a different region. But as luck would have it, the Dig family almost moved to Johto, unaware that Team Rocket had planted their roots a few cities away. The pair were incredibly unlucky to be a victim of this evil organisation in two completely different regions but they had something that the group wanted and they wouldn't stop pestering until they had a steady supply.
Creeping into Cherrygrove in the dead of night, it was but an hour away from midnight when Tobias had decided to infiltrate the home. Using the darkness as his cloak, the eye patched man hid beneath the shadows of the small town until he found his way to the specified destination. Using the warm flames of Prometheus to melt the lock of the door, the Rocket crept inside, led by the warm glow of the television from the room up ahead. As he stepped silently along the corridor closer to the room, inside was quiet but definitely shuffling of movement and mumbles of voices could be heard. Unable to make heads or tails of the discussion, Tobias instead began to unravel his plan. Bringing his Noctowl, Blathers, for support in the mission, he came up with a solid plan. Sending the targets to sleep would not be harming them and they would be out of the way as he searched the home. Waiting for the prime moment, he pushed open the door in attempt to grab their attention.
Sitting on the sofa with a newspaper in hand, the man of the house didn't spot Tobias at first but it was the reaction of his wife which caused him to jump to his feet. Sitting opposite him, the woman had been the first to spot Tobias, the large, red R on his chest giving the woman painful flash backs within seconds. "NOOOOOOOOO!" Dropping her magazine to the floor, it was then that Tobias took a step to the side, in order for his Noctowl to take the lead. "Just what is the meaning of-- ?!" Cut off from his own words, both Mr Dig and his wife felt themselves being pulled into the powerful, hypnotic grip of Blathers. Sending the two humans into a deep sleep, neither had time to react, as their bodies slumped to the floor. The hypnosis had been successful and now, Tobias was able to explore the home freely, in search of this hidden crate of TMs.

Allowing the mad owl to cast his hypnotic spell, Tobias remained guarding the doorway should they somehow break free of the control. Luring them into a deep sleep like state, Tobias allowed for the effect to fully take hold as he passed the time by grabbing a cigarette out of his packet. Stuffing it away in a utility pocket on his belt, he placed it in his mouth and allowed his trusty Prometheus to light it up. By the time he took his first dreg, his ears were met with the unceremoniously thunking sound of the couple falling to the ground, now deeply asleep by the hypnosis. Letting the comforting fumes exhale from out of his nostrils, he walked on into the room and gave the man of the house a small nudge of his boot to make sure he was properly subdued. "Hope you don't mind." He mused, although it made little difference. Tobias was after his nicotine fix and he was going to get it whether or not this was a no smoking zone or not.
Looking over to Blathers, Tobias silently recalled the Pokemon back to the confines of its device as he slotted it back onto his belt holster. "According to intel the supply is somewhere in the house. Hmph. Truly peerless in their ability to procure necessary information." Pulling up his C-Gear, he hacked into the Cherrygrove government planning database in order to access a blueprint of the house. Suffice to say, the security guarding that was a joke to him. "So we have five main rooms. This room..." Trailing off as he took a quick scan of the area only to shrug off the possibility of there being any supplies, he continued to narrow down the main areas to search. "...A dining room, a bedroom, a kitchen and an attic." Taking a small dreg of his cigarette, he let the smoke pour out once more as he deliberated his choice. "The kitchen. No doubt hide the supplies where it's least expected." Having worked out the layout of the house from the plans, he proceeded to the kitchen to begin his search.

With the couple lulled into a deep sleep by Blathers, Tobias gave the pair a stern nudge with his boot but neither gave even a hint of a response. Successful in subduing the pair without causing any harm, he left them to venture into their visit to dreamland, whilst he searched the home for the hidden goods. Masked somewhere inside this building was the crate of TMs and it wouldn't be long until they were in the hands of this Rocket grunt. But rather than walking around blindly, he atleast wanted to have a rough idea of the layout of the building. Using his incredible hacking skills to search for a floor plan of the house, Tobias acquired the information with ease, enabling him to understand the position of each and every room without lifting a foot. Apart from the room he currently stood in, he learnt the basic set up and began plotting which spot to investigate first. Picking a somewhat unlikely area, Tobias used reversed thinking, believing that an unlikely place would probably be where the crate would be kept.
Leaving the slumbering couple behind, Tobias left the main room and found himself standing in the kitchen. Surrounded by work surfaces holding kitchen utensils, cupboards, drawers and a lone door which led into a very small food pantry, there was nothing that immediately stood out. When searching through the room, everything he managed to find was very typical to be found in a kitchen. There were no sneaky TMs hiding behind food or anything of the sort. There was, however, an opened letter which had been left on the work surface. Skimming over the words, it appeared to be written by Mr.Dig himself. It was a letter to the local police force, thanking them for their hard work in keeping their identity secret and for helping them feel secure. Which was amusing, considering the situation they had fallen into. Near the bottom, there was a mention of the family rewarding the IPF with a crate of TM Dig to share among their forces, which was set to be delivered in a few days. So whilst this hint confirmed that the crate was likely ready, it was still hidden somewhere else and needed to be found.
Nothing of use was found in the kitchen... Continue the search!

Entering into the kitchen, Tobias wasted no time in making judgements on the design they had going on or looking around for a bite to eat for himself. Immediately taking stock of the various cupboards and drawers, he clicked his fingers and made a very clear order. "Prometheus. Scour the area. Search for any evidence." Letting out a curt reply, Prometheus swung off from Tobias' shoulder and began to proceed with his monkey business in shifting through all the various types of storage. Tobias instead merely stood there, enjoying his cigarette, looking around for any unusual oddities that stuck out. He wasn't going to put it past them to have rigged up clever secret stashes. "Hurry it up." Tobias warned bluntly. Having not exactly been tidy in his initial search, Prometheus flung himself into overdrive. Ripping open drawers and swinging open cabinets, the Pokemon messily tossed out all of its contents into a messy upheaval. If there was one thing that was certain, Tobias was the sort of person who cared about leaving the owner's house in a reasonable state. He was here for one thing and one thing only, he wasn't going to respect keeping things tidy.
Spending a few more moments having ransacked the place, Tobias let out a delayed stream of smoke from his mouth as he deliberated on moving on elsewhere. "Forget it. They obviously decided to place the stash elsewhere. Let's... Hmph. What's this hiding in plain sight?" About ready to move on by whilst putting out his cigarette on the work surface, a rather inconspicuous letter sat there. Picking it up and beginning to nose through the contents, he leered his eye as it seemed there was confirmation enough they were in the right place. Even better still was the fact the supply hidden within the house was going to be handed to the IPF as a sign of their gratitude. "Anything that secures our objective and sets back our opponents is worthwhile." Tossing the letter aside, he gestured from Prometheus to return to him as they began moving onto the next room. "Next on the list is the bedroom. The attic seems too obvious and I doubt a dining room has much in the way of storage." Hurriedly moving on, he entered into the bedroom itself and took a small stock. "Hmmm..." He considered, taking out another cigarette and letting Prometheus ignite the smoke.

Ordering Prometheus to search the kitchen, the rowdy Pansear left the room in quite the state. Mess scattered everywhere as various chimping sounds rattled between the noise of cupboards being torn open and objects being thrown, in the end, nothing of immediate use was found. Calling off his search, Tobias felt that it was best to not waste time and instead, continue his search elsewhere. With Prometheus in tow, the eye patched grunt deducted that the nearby Dining Room and upper Attic were far too obvious or unlikely, thus, he made his way up the stairs to inspect the master bedroom. Still in a deep sleep thanks to Blather's hypnosis, he passed by the slumbering couple before ascending the stairs. Eventually, he found himself standing within the doorway of the room, another cigarette leaving the packet to be ignited by the Pansear, before finding it's place within the lips of Tobias.
Before him was another rather basic, typical bedroom. A clean colour palette of ivory and cream coated most of the pieces of furniture and linen, the perfect colours for Prometheus to ruin. However, they didn't have to search far at all to find what they were after. Sitting on the carpet, right at the base of the bed, was an out of place crate. With further investigation, it would've easily been noticed that this was the very target Tobias was after. But before he could take even a single step closer, the very ground beneath his feet began to shake uncontrollably. Loud bangs and crashing seemed to echo all around him but suddenly, between the space where he stood and where the crate was located, something emerged from the very ground. Parting the floorboards and ripping the once pristine carpet, a very angry Pokemon made itself known to Tobias.
It was a Dugtrio, each of it's three faces leering with a vicious expression of hatred. Clearly it belonged to the family, there was no other explanation for it's obvious rage. Plus, where it had emerged, it was almost as if it was trying to protect Mr.Dig's prized possession, the crate of TMs. Nattering away to itself, the Dugtrio would end up being a bigger problem if not dealt with immediately. Not that he could get to the crate without defeating the Pokemon first. Plus, with the loud noise it created from burrowing through the floorboards, there was a chance that neighbours had overheard the commotion. He needed to act fast!

Unable to fully grasp everything in the area around him, it seemed he wouldn't have to worry about searching too hard as his eye darted to what appeared to be a suspicious crate just poking out of the bed. "Aha." Before he could investigate around further, the sound of the bangs seemed to get louder and louder. "What is that irritating noise?" Leering his eye as he looked around, not really being able to pin point where it was situated, it seemed like it had followed him up the stairs almost. Taking a single step into the room as he let out a puff of smoke, he had to take a defensive stance, lurching forward as a sudden explosion from the floor in front of him put him on edge. Saying nothing, he kept his cool as he took note of what exactly had caused the upheaval. Counting the total number of heads and its overall appearance, he leaned back into a casual upright stance as he adjusted the cigarette in his mouth. "Dugtrio." Aware of what the Pokemon was, he didn't seem the least bit intimidated despite how furious the Pokemon presented itself with him as. "I see the owner of house lets his guard... mole, run free."
Taking a Pokeball from his belt holster, he primed it ready to summon his chosen Pokemon that would take care of the nuisance. "I had hoped for a stealthy cover for this mission. Too bad that has been ruined." Scolding the Dugtrio for the ruckus it had caused, Tobias would at least alter his plans in order to capitalise on the shifting dynamics of the assignment. "Blathers!" Tossing the Pokeball forward into the room and remaining under the frame of the door, he allowed the owl to make its entrance. Stretching out its wings as it rotated its head around in all manner of angles, Blathers narrowed its maniacal gaze onto the Dugtrio. Angry as it was, it mattered not for the mad owl who would be all too happy to prey on it. "Uproar!" Ignoring his original intention of doing this as stealthy as possible, he realised the Dugtrio's noise had scuppered any chances of that being success. Deciding to roll with the noise that was no doubt waking up half the neighbourhood, he hoped Blather's assault on the ears would be enough to keep any would be heroes from popping into the house.

Bursting up from the floorboards and catching the attention of Tobias, just as he had found the crate, an obstacle appeared to get in his way. Needing to defeat this in order to even get close to the crate now, the male was up against the family pet, a Dugtrio. Looking angry at Tobias' intrusion and likely aware of the state of it's owners in the room downstairs, the Dugtrio worked out very quickly that this man was the caused of their slumber and not invited. Angered at his presence, the Pokemon were even able to recognise the red R that was plastered across his chest, signifying that he was a part of Team Rocket. This sight really got their gears going, causing them to become even more irate. Bobbing up and down on the spot whilst showing visible signs of anger and deep, annoyed grunts and cries, it was something that put a momentary stop to Tobias' plan but something he could deal with.
Choosing a different Pokemon, he had brought along a number of different recruits to help support him in this mission. But his choice fell upon the returning face of Blathers, his deranged Noctowl. Moving in typical owl-like motions, Blathers wore a mad glint to his eye, as he came across the view of his opponent. Unfazed by the large avian, the Dugtrio took charge. Each of their noses lighting up with a different colour to represent electric, ice and fire, a trio of such beams shot out from their faces, coiling against once another to create one beam consisting of three elements. Crashing into the body of Blathers, the Noctowl felt a surge of electricity, chill of ice and blaze of fire cloak his entire body. Yet with a shake of his feathers, was able to shake the attack off.
Surprising the Dugtrio, the attack which was used as a wild card to puzzle opponents was something that Blather's didn't give a hoot about. It was practically ineffective! Stomping a talon forward, the Noctowl tilted his head as his body began to jerk around. Leaning forward with wings stretched out behind him, Blathers unleashed an Uproar of cries and shouts, whilst rustling his feathers and tilting his head from side to side. Intimidated by this avian, the Dugtrio shuddered and huddled together. This was one scary opponent.

A little unsure as to how the Dugtrio were able to fight in the bedroom given the fact it was a floor above ground level, Tobias shrugged it off as he remained under the door frame. Taking a long dreg of his smoke, he let it simmer out of his nostrils as he watched the Dugtrio power up for an attack. It certainly seemed indignant by his presence. "Once these nuisances are out of the way, we'll grab that crate under the bed. It seems they accessed the crate recently given the contents of that letter." Dictated Tobias, he was certain that was what they were after. Despite his outline, the sudden attack from the Dugtrio would catch him off guard. Watching as a combination of ice, fire and electricity shot forward in a triangulated beam, it seemed as if he was unaware the Pokemon possessed such an attack. "What?!" Watching as Blathers managed to shrug it off, it had nonetheless caught his attention. "Hmm... That attack... I'll have to make a note of this." Almost as if he had been inspired by the sight of the move, it seemed almost as if he was planning on adapting it to a certain Pokemon in his arsenal. His C-Gear having recorded the attack itself, he least at had some footage to use when programming it.
As Blathers finally got ready to attack, Tobias glared his eye as he realised the move was about to create a lot of ruckus. Covering his ears, he watched uncomfortably as the owl managed to let off its furore and intimidate the Dugtrio so thoroughly, that the trio were now bunching close together. Despite how manic the uproar was, it seemed like the Dugtrio were able to hang in there. "Not good enough, unleash another Uproar. And hurry it up. With all this noise no doubt the authorities have been alerted." Although he would battle them if he was forced to, he would rather retreat into the quiet night and conclude the mission accordingly. Letting out a shrill coo, the mad Blathers hopped from side to side on its spry taloned feet as it seemed ready to take on the opponent once more.

The Dugtrio cowered from the manic glint in the Noctowl's eye, the three bodies huddling against one another as if to comfort each other. But to Tobias, the attack of his Pokemon wasn't good enough. Not only did it beat up a lot of noise but it was also taking a lot longer to defeat the opponent than initially planned. At this rate, it was virtually impossible for no one in the surrounding area to not be alerted to this racket and investigate in some form or another. Thus, he had to press on and finish this battle quickly. There had been one positive note, however and that was the attacked used by the Dugtrio. Intriguing Tobias to the point of him taking note, it would perhaps make a show on one of his own Pokemon in the future. After all, it was three element combined into one attack, there was no way something as useful as that would be able to slip through his grasp.
The Dugtrio, on the other hand, knew that they were up against a strong opponent. Becoming wary, they had hoped to buy enough time for their owners to wake up and escape or create enough racket for help to arrive. Sadly, neither had occurred yet but they stuck around. Trying to bolster enough courage, in perfect unison, the Dugtrio let out a loud growl which was enough to send a quiver along the tail feathers of Blathers. Not that it was enough to stop this crazy avian. Going into a loud frenzy of noise, flaps, squawks and stomps, the Noctowl continued on with his Uproar and this was enough to send the Dugtrio packing. Unable to take much more, the weakened and petrified creatures burrowed back down into the hole they had emerged from, fleeing the scene completely. It was an annoying distraction but atleast it was out of the way. Now all what Tobias had to do was find where the crate had rolled off to in the room, collect it and make a swift escape.

Getting bothered by how long it was taking, Tobias inhaled a hearty lungful of smoke as he let it simmer out. As the last of the smoke fled his body, he called out, hoping to spur on matters. "Blathers. Finish it. Now." Tacking on the extra order to what he had commanded previously, it was obvious he wasn't playing around. Thankfully there were no sirens blaring off in the vicinity which meant they still had adequate time. Letting the owl create another raucous uproar which even drowned out the Dugtrio's unified growl, it was a relief to see the would be guardian of the house retreated its head underground... Or rather, under the floor boards to lick its wounds. Leaving the room with just Tobias and company, it meant they could finally conclude this errand. Returning Blathers back to the confines of his container, Tobias proceeded to click his fingers as he made clear he had a task in mind for Prometheus. "Prometheus. The crate." Lifting and carrying were quite simply beneath Tobias and given how the crate wasn't too oversized, it meant the Pansear was the perfect means of transporting the goods.
Allowing the monkey time to clamber down from his shoulder and heave the crate over his head, Tobias stopped him from making a getaway as he had a quick look over the contents. "No doubt, these are the TMs we're here for. Hmph. Good. If this mission wasn't such an emergency I would be rather indulging in other pursuits. Come, we're leaving." Moving out of the bedroom and following the stairs down, Prometheus let out a huff and a puff as his little legs carried him along in pursuit of his master. As they got to the bottom of the stairs, it was obvious something was off. It sounded almost as if there was another disturbance in the house. Raising a hand to order Prometheus to halt his advance, Tobias leered his eye from side to side at the hallway. "If that Dugtrio is back for round 2..." His hand falling to a Pokeball on his holster, he wasn't in the mood for any rematches.

As careful as Tobias may have been to remain unnoticed throughout his mission, said care hadn’t been enough. The noise from the earlier Dugtrio battle seemed to have alerted the neighbours to a situation in the Dig family’s household, and the local police force had been called to deal with the disturbance. This kind of response was not unusual for the quiet, untouched environment that the Dig family had decided to call ‘home’, unluckily for the Rocket who was now trying to make his escape. As Tobias made his way down the stairs, he indeed heard an officer making his way inside the building. The new intruder was saying something, though it wasn’t quite intelligible from where Tobias was currently standing. The cop seemed to be keeping his voice down deliberately. A radio crackled its reply, presumably the dispatch office acknowledging whatever he’d just told them. However, Tobias didn’t really have time to stand there wondering what was going on. He needed to find a way to escape without being caught. On the other side of the house, the officer proceeded to explore and discover the source of the reported ‘noise disturbance’. Leading him was a loyal Growlithe, sniffing around for a trace of human scent. Entering the living room, the pair found the family in a deep sleep. “Family subdued, likely by Pokémon. Investigating further. Over.” he muttered into his radio before continuing on. The radio gave a simple “10-4”, as per the norm, while the policeman continued his search. Growlithe led his partner to the main hall, picking up a strong trail of smells that seemed foreign to the household. When the copper entered the hall, he took one look at the stairs and flashed his torch in Tobias and Prometheus’s direction, noticing something bright red there. “STOP! HANDS IN THE AIR WHERE I CAN SEE THEM!” he shouted, probably making more noise than Tobias had all day. He ran to the bottom of the stairs, his Growlithe staying in front the whole way and snarling. It was a shame, but it was evident that Tobias would have to get his hands dirty. Or rather, his Pokémon would.

As soon as he had reached the bottom of the stairs, the sudden focusing of light on his person was enough to stop Tobias in his tracks. It was a standard technique by police members in hoping to startle and blind their target. Deciding to play along. He remained on the spot, Prometheus following suit, holding onto the crate still. Hearing the officer call out with a demand, Tobias remained silent, saying nothing. From the sounds of the growling over to the side, it sounded very much like a Growlithe, a Pokemon he himself owned. Hoping this small delay in trying to analyse the situation would help him get the drop, he decided it would he time he complied with the officer's request. "As you request..."
Before fully raising his hands into the air, he quickly grabbed a Pokeball from off his holster and tossed it between them as he following the raising motion of his arms. "...However, it'll do you no good by simply seeing where they are." Creating a blinding light of his own as his Pokeball erupted forth with a Pokemon, it summoned forth the show boating Zanzibar; huge oversized ball and all. "Zanzibar. Defence Curl and Rollout!" Hoping the defensive manoeuvre would allow them some breathing space, he'd then hopefully be able to counteract by hitting back with the retaliatory strike. "The quicker this is done the better. All these set backs have delayed us behind schedule." He complained ruefully.

Tobias’s reaction didn’t seem to surprise the officer before him at all. Instead, he lowered his torch a little and stepped back, allowing perhaps a few square feet’s extra space for the two to battle at the bottom of the stairwell. It wasn’t much, certainly not enough to make a quick escape without risking a bludgeoning from the nightstick the officer was now reaching for. As the Rocket’s Phanpy and massive ball appeared in front of him, the cop’s face warped quickly to that of total and utter confusion. He waved his light over the object in front of him to confirm that it was indeed just a huge, colourful sphere. Zanzibar stood atop his ball and gave a small cry of delight as the flashlight flicked up to him, seeming to revel in the attention. Even if it was clearly a battle that the human was after. Once the Phanpy had pieced this information together, he stepped down from the orb and awaited his orders, still looking quite happy in truth. The officer took action as soon as he saw Zanzibar dismount and gave his order. “Growlithe, Ember!” The canine barked assertively and quickly carried out the requested action. Opening its jaws, it spewed a powerful-looking stream of flames in Zanzibar’s direction, doing its best to keep the fire away from any of the surrounding furniture or carpet. Zanzibar’s response was calm under the potential pressure of an attack, and he simply did as commanded. Rolling up into a tight ball, he braced himself for the incoming fire as best he could while trying to tense his own muscles for future defence. The embers collided with their intended target, but did little to disturb him. Or, at least, that’s what it sounded like. It’d be hard to tell quite how bothered the consummate performer was right now, of course. Sighing at the sight of a Defence Curl, the cop took a moment to consider his options before giving his own response. “Leer!” was the only word that he spoke this time, presumably knowing full well that his partner would be expecting orders. The conciseness was to be expected, helping to avoid potential confusion and ensure that attacks were performed as quickly as possible. Growlithe stared at its opponent as he peeked out from his current stance to reacquire his target. The sharp glare elicited a yelp from Zanzibar, who closed his eyes and tried to disguise the noise as just a cough. Said ‘cough’ was immediately followed by the blue orb rolling down the staircase, gaining as much momentum as he could in the process as he tumbled toward Growlithe. Seeing what was coming, the Fire type jumped out of the way. Its trainer did the same, leaving Zanzibar to career on into the wall behind both of them. The cop quickly recovered his position, blocking Tobias’s exit once again. VS. IPF Officer

Disregarding his Pokemon's apparent delight at revelling in the spotlight, Tobias looked over to his opponents and back to his Pokemon. He was unsure on whether this would be a worthwhile idea but he was determined to use the whelp for something. Anyone that was going to be slotted into his team would have to pull their weight and it was high time Zanzibar came through with some results. "Enough with the theatrics." He growled as it seemed Zanzibar wasn't relenting from show boating around. His warning came a bit too late however. Having picked up on the Pokemon's cavalier attitude, the officer had commanded his Growlithe into assault. Firing off a burning hot coal of ember, Tobias leered his eye in anticipation over how his Pokemon would deal with being attacked. Thankfully not just some superficial performer, the circus elephant rolled up into a defensive ball and miraculously balanced on top of the huge ball that accompanied him. Even after being pelted with the embers, the Phanpy seemed to maintain balance, simply just rolling back and forth on the ball.
It was only as the fiery barrage ended that Zanzibar looked up, unfurling out of his rotund curl that he was met with a leering glare from the hound. "Ignore it! Hurry up with the attack." Goaded Tobias, hoping his rough tone would be enough to snap his Pokemon out of the leery intimidation. Pushing forwards with his own attack, Tobias gritted his teeth as he realised the police man was something of a wily foe. Leaping out of the way and his own Pokemon following suit, it meant his Phanpy missed his mark entirely and rammed into the wall, causing a significant indent into the building. "Hmph." Grunted Tobias, his plan now back firing somewhat. Watching as the Phanpy came rolling back and returning back onto the top of his ball, Tobias turned over to the officer and spoke out.
"You dodged." Narrowing his eye, he continued further. "If you had only stood still these poor residents would still have a pristine house left." Turning his attention back to his own Pokemon, he called out another order. "Zanzibar, Rollout once more. This time, hit your mark." Looking back over to the policeman, he was certain he would try another dodge but Tobias was nothing if persistent. "Don't you have some papers to be pushing?"
OOC: Rollout again.
