Donetello jumped out of the way as he was freed and spun to face the Mightyena.

[loafingdragon]

Mightyena stumbled off of the grunt. It only had small wounds on its back. With a quick turn, it dashed at Don, planting it's paws on his chest and knocking him onto his back. It reared up and brought its weight down on his chest all at once in an Assurance attack.

Rodney was about to assist when the numel charged, slamming into him with Strength.

"Ah hay-ell no" The fire lizard snorted and started pushing back in a contest of strength

[subtleAssiduities]

Donetello let out a surprised yelp as he was slammed to the ground, the wind knocked out of him. Note bit his lip and then called out, "Flamethrower, Don!"

The Houndoom sucked in a breath and then blew a massive flame right in the face of the Mightyena.

[loafingdragon]

The mightyena whipped its head back howling. It couldn't see a thing, and its face was bald, the fur burnt off. It reeled around snapping at the air in search of a target to vent its anger on. It managed to get a hold of a toe of Donetello's foot, and it Crunched down hard.

The sight of the thing made Karla cover her mouth to muffle her scream and Joey looke dangerously pale.

Rodney finally overpowered the numel, ushing it back against a wall and using Slash. After a few of the moves in succession, the numel fainted.

[subtleAssiduities]

Don let out a hysterical howl as he tried in vain to get his food free. With his other back foot he kicked the burnt Mighyena in the face and scrambled away. Then he came at it with a Crunch, throwing it to the ground and pinning it there.

[loafingdragon]

The mightyena kicked and flailed, its blind eyes darting in all directions for some escape from the pain. It finally passed into unconsiousness.

The two team magma goons stared down at their incapacitated Pokémon. Then one fled down the hall, followed quickly by the other, leaving the Pokémon behind to get reinforcements.

Joey still seemed shocked by the outcome of the battle, too shocked to move.

Karla looked on the verge of fainting, herself and grabbed the nearest thing to steady herself.

[subtleAssiduities]

Note and Tunes looked just as shocked as their companions as they watched the goons flee down the hall. Donetello loosened his grip on the Mightyena, and they both came running to it, kneeling down beside it.

"I can't believe they left it!" Tunes murmured hotly, her face turning an angry shade of red as she pulled out a potion and began spraying the burns.

Note shook his head, at a loss. He could not believe it either. "Come on. We can take it with us. They'll come back," he said. "Good job, Don. But next time..."

Don whimpered and lowered his head in understanding.

Sherman gulped. "We'll need more than potions." He joined them at the Pokémon's side and searched his pockets. He procured a burn heal and a syringe-anesthesia so it wouldn't wake up before they could get out- and gave them to Tunes, as he couldn't administer them himself. "There's an exit..." He looked up at the number on a door. "This way." He gestured for them to follow as he stood up. "If we hurry we can- are you two okay?"

Karla shook her head in an attempt to clear the image. "I... I'm working on it."

Joey finally nodded, though his face was pale. He hugged Whimsy tightly and walked over to the rest of the group. Rodney watched his trainer closely, concerned.

Sherman went back to Karla, who seemed rooted to the wall and helped her forward. "Let's go."

[subtleAssiduities]

"Eli, help me," Tunes said, trying to lift the unconscious canine off the ground after she had administered the medicines.

Her brother hurried to her side and together they lifted the Mightyena. Note shifted the weight into his arms and looked at Sherman.

Tunes watched her brother for a moment, and then turned and went to Karla. She pulled out a small pink object that looked like a hard candy and offered it to her. "Here... This might help," she said softly.

[loafingdragon]

Karla took the candy thankfully, and stared at her feet as Sherman led them through the halls. They soon came to a FRICKEN door. Sherman unlocked it and loked up a long staircase. "This is as far as I'l go."

[subtleAssiduities]

"Thank you," Tunes murmured gratefully, before she and Note hurried out the door. Donetello followed on his owner's heels.

[loafingdragon]

The group came up through a trapdoor into a warehouse building. It wasn't an eventful place- very inconspicuous. It seemed to be empty and once the trapdoor fell shut, it was as if it had never been there. The exit door was close by.

[subtleAssiduities]

Donetello took the lead as they entered the warehouse. His eyes immediately landed on the exit, and he trotted forward. He used his nose to push the door open and then turned to wait for the others.

Note hurried after him, still holding the injured Mightyena, and Tunes followed after him.

[loafingdragon]

They made quick work orienting themselves to thier surroundings and finding a nearby Pokémon center.

"Welcome to the Pokémon Center! Would you like- Oh my!" Nurse Joy rushed from behind the counter. "What happened to this poor Pokémon!?"

[subtleAssiduities]

"It's a long story," Note replied apologetically, placing the Mightyena on the table. "Can you help it?"
